Chapter 130 The nine sons of Longsheng are all different
"Brother, don't worry. As long as we climb up to the Kowloon Walled City, we will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Everyone speed up and seize key points." As soon as the front reached the top of the mountain, the sentry fired a warning shot.
"Attack and kill immediately any resisters." Xue Chen's 1st Company, as the vanguard, began to attack in a battle formation. Zhao Rui assisted in the attack and two machine guns led the way. They quickly reached the top of the village, but they were met with hundreds of people who stubbornly blocked their way. However, the other side was also hastily responding and was a little flustered, but it also blocked their advance. There was no communication between the two sides, and as it was getting dark, Du's army launched a strong attack. The other side used houses and walls to block their way.
"Brother, which team is this?" Xue Chen asked He Zhengshan.
"This belongs to Laojiu. Laojiu has occupied the top of the mountain for a long time. Every month, the leaders take turns to be stationed at the top of the mountain. This month it is Laoer's turn to be stationed at the top of the mountain. However, since the last leader meeting, Liuwazi has also joined Laoer and stationed at the top of the mountain. He has not returned to his Black Dragon Rock. I guess he is preparing to compete with Laojiu," He Zhengshan replied.
"Brothers, fight hard and complete the mission as soon as possible." After listening to the introduction, Xue Chen began to organize the team to attack personally. Nine dragons, nine hearts, each with their own little calculations. There is no need to be afraid. If we defeat the ninth one, Kowloon Walled City will naturally fall apart.
Three machine guns suppressed the other side. If the bandits had not relied on the high ground and several stone walls as cover, they could have been taken down with a single charge? As Xue Chen personally led the charge, the other side began to be unable to resist the Du family's attack and gradually retreated.
"Get ready... and throw the Molotov cocktails." Seeing that the attack was not going well, they had to use their trump card, fire attack, and rushed to the top of the mountain. Here was a small plain of about 20 acres in size, with many thatched houses and stone houses. To the east was a high platform with a protruding ridge extending backwards.
With the help of their Molotov cocktails, a raging fire broke out in an instant. The four companies began to surround the top of the mountain. As the other side did not have enough people, they began to retreat after throwing a row of grenades. Their army compressed the main force of the bandits all the way to Qinglong Ridge in the east. The junction with the top of the village is a narrow rocky hill. He Zhengjiu arranged several confidants to block their pursuit. The terrain was so bad that one man could not block a thousand men, and the Du family army was unable to conquer it for a while.
Xue Chen could only divide his troops into different groups to recover the other He branches. Through interrogation of the captives, he learned that "Old Six and Old Two had retreated to Black Dragon Rock as soon as they got wind of the news, and then sent someone to inform Old Nine that someone was attacking the mountain. Old Nine sent someone to see that the enemy had already attacked the top of the mountain, so he had to hastily stop the enemy and fight, and retreated to Qinglong Ridge with some of his confidants. There was no one on the top of the mountain, so he could only capture the other five dragons. Xue Chen stationed at the top of the mountain and continued to hunt down He Zhengjiu, and sent Zhao Rui, Chen Jinhu, and Sanhui Wang Quan's company to each company to clear out the branches.
After a night of attack, the teams returned to the mountaintop stronghold at three in the morning. Thanks to the communication between the eldest and the fourth brother He Zhengshan, they gave up resistance and were successfully incorporated. However, the second, sixth and seventh brothers all fled the stronghold. They also incorporated the fifth brother's team and took him away. The fifth brother was injured and left in the stronghold. Only the eighth brother encountered fierce resistance. Zhao Rui went to clear them out. The young man brought the former guard team, which was equipped with better equipment than other teams. In addition, he was strictly trained and carefully cultivated. Although he did not have much experience, he was brave in combat. He started with grenades and incendiary bombs. The fire quickly spread to all parts of the mountain. The enemy had only more than 30 guns and could not withstand the attack of Zhao Rui's machine gun and grenades. However, the eighth brother insisted on not surrendering or retreating, and insisted on resisting. He was a Chinese character of iron will. In the end, Zhao Rui was conquered by the opponent's tenacious resistance spirit and did not have the heart to kill him. At the end of the battle, only about 10 guards were left around him and they were captured.
He Zhengba had to be threatened by his personal guards to reluctantly lay down his weapons. They were all covered in blood, and their linen and tattered jackets were torn into strips. They looked like beggars, but most of them had only minor injuries. They were obviously veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles and survived the hail of bullets. The nine characters of the He family truly illustrate the saying that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each is different.
When Zhao Rui finally returned to the top of the village with the captured Lao Ba, it was almost dawn, and the battle report ended there.
"Complete the combat mission as soon as possible, and Xue Chen, Zhao Rui, and Wu Xuyang's company should return as soon as possible to prepare for the next step of action," Du Chenyu approved the battle report.
Now, their territory is bounded by Baizhang to the north. The areas of Qinglongchang and Zhenziba belong to Jizhou. The narrow area along the Houba River is very easy to be attacked from the waist. The Changchi area between Gaocheng and Enyang is like a bone spur stuck in the throat that must be pulled out.
On the fourth day, Xue Chen led his team back to Qinglongchang. After several days of pursuit and siege, He Zhengjiu's team was basically broken up and fled to Cangxi with a small number of troops. He Zhengliu gathered the scattered troops and merged Lao Er and Lao Qi to retreat to Guansheng Village in Yunwu Mountain. Due to the steep terrain and dense forests, Xue Chen gave up the attack. Lao Liu only had more than 4 people, and his strength was greatly reduced. As long as he did not invade their jurisdiction, it would be good to let him live for the time being.
For He Zhengshan who surrendered, he was rewarded with several acres of land and 100 oceans in Qinglong Field, and continued to serve as the garrison captain. However, the recruited bandits had to be reorganized and reformed through labor to eliminate their bandit nature.
As for Lao Ba, whom Du Chenyu admires very much, he also needs to curb his arrogance. Lao Ba is only 27 years old and has great potential for training. He plans to meet him again after a while and temporarily let him be a small squad leader under Xue Chen to see his attitude after hiding for a while.
There were very few casualties in this bandit suppression campaign, and the spoils were not large either. Only more than 100 guns and tens of thousands of kilograms of food were carried down the mountain and placed at Huangmao Pass.
Xue Chen's team rested in Qinglongchang for two days. On the third day, Li Hecunyi led the Gaocheng garrison, Li Haoran, and He Jiacheng's company of more than 300 people set out from Gaochengbao in the middle of the night, crossed Luojiapo, and after crossing Chashuya, hid in the mangroves. Du Chenyu led Xue Chen, Wu Xuyang, Zhao Rui's company, the guard company and the reconnaissance company of nearly 500 people, ready to take Changchiba directly from Shuanggui Mountain.
Although more than 300 people were wiped out in Qinglongchang, the second regiment defense brigade of Changchibao still had a team of no less than 500 people. Changchi was the second most densely populated area in Jizhou County. The regiment defense brigade was well prepared, with mortars and heavy machine guns. It currently also had jurisdiction over Yanchan and Shaxi townships. Qinglongchang, Jiulongchang, and Zhenziba townships had already been captured by Du Chenyu and others. The decision to attack this place was because it bordered their jurisdiction on three sides, protruding within their jurisdiction, isolated and helpless on all sides, and a flat area, especially suitable for growing food, with large tracts of rice fields. The only drawback was that the water source was not sufficient.
