Chapter 616 I Should Not Provoke the 34th Army
The fact that the bandits dared to challenge the regular army shows how rampant they were.
Xiang Chu would not let go of the vicious bandits, nor would he miss this great opportunity to train his troops.
The vast majority of the 34th Army came from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and with a little training and drills they became experts in mountain warfare.
After the 1st and 2nd Divisions were in position, the Hongyi Heavy Artillery Regiment began to attack the Black Wind Stronghold.
"Boom!" A loud noise shook the earth.
The bandits were terrified, because in their impression, no artillery could reach the top of the mountain.
The village's military advisor cried, "Boss! We really shouldn't have messed with the 34th Army. Their artillery can actually hit our village. It seems they are not a rubbish army."
The bandit leader Qin Dibao was a bold man, and he shouted, "What are you afraid of? The 34th Army is just firing a shell to scare people, they are no different from other government troops."
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
The roof of the Juyi Hall was ripped off by a shell, which exploded and killed more than a dozen bandits.
Qin Dibao and the bandits ran out of the Juyi Hall, and the bandits lay on the ground like frightened birds.
Qin Dibao was still calm, and shouted: "Brother! There is no need to worry if the 34th Army's artillery can fire up. The second in command is leading a hundred brothers to guard the entrance of the Yixiantian Canyon. Even if all their people die, they can't get in."
The bandits encouraged each other: "Yes! The 34th Army will definitely not be able to pass the Yixiantian Gorge."
At this time, a gangster led a group of bandits and ran over, crying loudly: "Big boss! The second in command and his men were hit by a bomb that emitted green smoke and all fainted. The 34th Army passed through the Yixiantian Gorge and are almost on the mountain."
Qin Dibao said angrily: "Third boss! Can't you go into the bunker and fight back? Why did you flee to the mountain stronghold?"
The third in command cried and said, "They brought mountain artillery, and one shot blew up a bunker. We can't defend it."
The military advisor said anxiously, "Master! I heard from the wounded soldiers who came back from the Songhu battlefield that the bombs that emit green smoke are called poison gas bombs. The smoke they emit is more powerful than miasma. People and animals will die if they smell it."
"what?!"
The bandits were stunned.
Qin Dibao was so angry that he roared loudly: "Brothers! The 34th Army is so crazy that they even used poison gas bombs. Let's block the mountain gate and fight them."
After saying this, he picked up a Type 99 light machine gun and rushed towards the mountain gate that blocked the steep mountain road.
"Boom! Boom!"
Several shells fell and exploded among the bandits, killing and wounding a large number of them on the spot.
"Boom!" a sound.
A shell landed accurately on the sturdy mountain gate, causing it to collapse instantly.
The bandits had never seen such a scene before and finally became frightened and retreated backwards.
The Third Master exclaimed: "Oh my god! We really stirred up a hornet's nest today."
The military advisor said anxiously, "Master! As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Let's escape from the back mountain."
Qin Dibao said regretfully: "Alas! It's a pity that I can't take so much money with me."
The military advisor said hurriedly: "Don't worry! Our money is hidden in the Black Wind Cave. They will never find it."
"Yes! Let's go."
Qin Dibao waved his hand and ran towards the back mountain with a few bandits.
The so-called back mountain is just the other side of the road, and there are also steep cliffs on this side.
Qin Dibao threw down the ladder, slid down along it, and soon landed at the bottom of the cliff.
The other bandits followed his example and climbed down the ladder to the bottom of the cliff, all feeling relieved.
Qin Dibao laughed loudly and said, "Brothers! The 34th Army is indeed a rubbish army. If they send people to ambush here, will we still be alive? Haha!"
"Da da da!"
Dense rain of light and heavy machine gun bullets poured down on him.
Qin Dibao was beaten into a sieve in an instant, and said with difficulty:
"I shouldn't have messed with the 34th Army."
"The boss!"
The bandits all cried out in surprise.
They looked towards the dense forest and saw dense gun muzzles everywhere.
"Bang! Bang! Dadada!"
Rifles and machine guns rained down their lives in great numbers.
"You will pay for what you have done sooner or later!"
The military advisor muttered to himself on the cliff at the top of the mountain.
He was glad that he did not go down the cliff as he was surrounded by troops below.
At this time, Gan Rong led the elite commando team to rush to the top of the mountain platform.
The military advisor hurriedly threw away his weapon and raised his hands tremblingly.
There was only one bandit left by his side, and he had already surrendered.
Gan Rong shouted, "Tie him up!"
"Yes!"
The elite commandos rushed forward and tied up the two bandits.
Gan Rong picked up the radio loudspeaker and reported loudly: "General! The elite commandos have occupied the Black Wind Stronghold and captured two bandits. The others have all been killed."
Xiang Chu responded: "Okay! Ask the captured bandits where the money and food in the Black Wind Stronghold are hidden. If they are honest, we can spare their lives. Our army does not intend to kill them all."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, an elite commando came to report: "Captain! We only found a small amount of money and food."
Gan Rong nodded, pointed at the military advisor and asked, "Tell me! Where are the money and food in your village hidden?"
The military advisor was cunning and had always dreamed of becoming the boss. He said calmly, "Sir! We in the Black Wind Village don't have much money or food, otherwise we wouldn't be so bold as to come down the mountain and ask you for guns and ammunition."
Gan Rong said coldly, "You want to deceive me? You have about 200 people, and you have been causing trouble on the border of Guizhou and Hunan for several years, and you have only accumulated this little money and food? Tell me! Otherwise, I will kill you immediately."
The military advisor remained silent, but kept staring at the bandit henchman, warning him to reveal the Black Wind Cave.
"Bang!"
Gan Rong shot him in the thigh.
The military advisor fell to the ground, hugged his thigh and wailed, gritting his teeth and refusing to say a word.
Gan Rong pointed his gun at another bandit who was no more than 20 years old and said:
"Tell me! Where is the money of Black Wind Village hidden?"
The military advisor roared: "Second cat! Don't forget that you also swore an oath together."
Gan Rong shouted, "All the oaths you made to commit crimes are bullshit!"
"Bang!"
He shot the military advisor to death.
The bandit cat was frightened and said hurriedly:
"Sir! I've long wanted to say that all their money and food are hidden in the Black Wind Cave."
Gan Rong nodded and said, "Very good! Lead us there, and I'll give you some money to go home."
Ermao bowed and said, "Thank you, sir! All my family members were killed by bandits. Can I go with you?"
Gan Rong looked into his eyes and asked in confusion: "Your family was killed by bandits, why didn't you seek revenge? Instead, you joined the bandits?"
Ermao said bitterly: "My family was killed by Qin Tianbao. I wanted to get close to Qin Tianbao through Qin Dibao, but I didn't expect that I would have no chance after two years."
Gan Rong felt that he was not lying, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Our 34th Army will also suppress bandits when we enter Hunan, and Qin Tianbao is the key target to be eliminated."
"Plop!" a sound.
Ermao knelt down in front of Li Tong and cried, "Sir! I beg you to eliminate Qin Tianbao."
Li Tong pulled him up and said with a smile: "Good brother, get up quickly and take us to the Black Wind Cave."
Ermao nodded and said, "Okay! Please follow me."
Gan Rong reported to Xiang Chu as he walked: "General! I just received a surrendered bandit named Ermao. His relatives were killed by Qin Tianbao. He has been lurking here with Qin Dibao, ready to find an opportunity..."
After listening to him, Xiang Chu praised: "Very good! We also need a guide to wipe out Qin Tianbao. You made a good move in advance."
Gan Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Commander! I will keep Ermao with me. He is not a bad person by nature. He will become a good soldier after some education."
Soon, under the guidance of Ermao, Gan Rong and others arrived at the secret Black Wind Cave.
When the cave door was opened, there were mountains of gold, silver, jewelry, food, weapons and ammunition inside.
