Chapter 60: Black Wind Mountain Guerrilla Troop

  "Captain, the word has already been spread, Heifengshan guerrilla team. Captain, why do you want to spread such a name? It's better to use our original name, Qingshanshan guerrilla team, otherwise it will ruin our reputation."

  "You don't understand or pretend not to understand, the name I came up with is mainly to confuse the enemy's senses. Do we need to make a name for ourselves? As long as we can kill the enemy, that's all that matters. Let others take care of making a name. Haven't you noticed that the enemy has a strong desire for revenge? And I heard that there are bandits in Heifeng Mountain who are currently in contact with the enemy, trying to surrender to them. You should know that I despise these bandits the most. Not only do they bully civilians during times of national crisis, but they also pour salt on the wounds during times of national crisis. So, let's use the name Heifeng Mountain and let them fight against the enemy instead. Moreover, we can't stay here forever, we still have a home to return to."

  Liu He heard it when interrogating the fake army, saying that in a small mountain near called Black Wind Mountain, there was a very strong bandit on Black Wind Mountain. Some time ago, the devils had sent someone to deal with the bandits, and this bandit was negotiating prices with the devils.

  It's easy to say that these bandits are heroic, but do bandits really have a heroic side? Bandits are just bandits, their goal is to rob and plunder. Talking about robbing the rich to help the poor is just an excuse. They also rob the rich, but they mostly rob the poor. Just like the bandits that Liu He once eliminated, most of them targeted both the poor and the rich together, and sometimes even robbed less from the rich because they were afraid that the rich would unite and capture them. Occasionally, they would even hire the rich as their henchmen to deal with those stubborn poor people. This is what bandits are like in this era, whoever gives milk is considered a mother.

  So, now Liu He is just right to find an opponent for these bandits, let them fight against the devils, otherwise Liu He also wants to go and destroy them.

  Later it will be said that the devils will definitely come to investigate who destroyed the devils here, and Liu He will naturally find a scapegoat for the people of this county town and Song Village.

  Liu He would not let the team members shout loudly that they are the Black Wind Mountain guerrilla team, but when the team members go out to buy things or even walk on the road, they will accidentally say something like "How is our Black Wind Mountain guerrilla team doing?" and so on. In this way, people with ulterior motives would be able to analyze it and figure out that these people are from Black Wind Mountain. Naturally, there would also be people who recognize the bandits from Black Wind Mountain, but would they come forward to identify these people as not being from Black Wind Mountain?

  Two days later, the logistics team finally made more than a hundred people's dry rations, which was enough for half a month of dried meat. At first, they only used the kitchen in this inn, but it wasn't enough, so they rented two restaurants next to the inn for two silver coins per day. Even the consumption of firewood was settled according to the amount consumed. The owners of these two restaurants were very happy to rent them out to Liu He and his team.

  And for the past two days, pork, flour, salt, and other goods in the city have been selling well, all of which were purchased by Liu He and his team. The pork was used to make dried meat, and the lard from the braising process was used to make stir-fried noodles. Each team member would carry a few kilograms of dried meat and stir-fried noodles on their back, which would be enough for over half a month's worth of food. Especially now that wild vegetables have started growing in the wilderness, when the team members are living outdoors, they can simply pick some wild vegetables to eat with the stir-fried noodles and dried meat. This is like a heavenly life for them, with every meal having both meat and noodles. If they want to change up their flavor, they can just eat some wild vegetables, unlike before when they had to dig up wild vegetable roots from the ground to eat.

  "Old Nie, Old Nie," Early in the morning, when the owner of the restaurant next to the inn got up, he suddenly found that his kitchen had been cleaned up very neatly, and there were even two silver coins left in the kitchen. So he hastily came to find the old boss of the inn, Old Nie. Had those soldiers already left? In their hearts, they still thought Liu He and the others were soldiers. There was no need for Liu He and the others to explain themselves. The more misunderstandings there were, the safer Liu He and the others would be, and even the ordinary people nearby would be safe.

  Liu He and the others slipped out of the city around midnight, not because they had any particular idea in mind, but simply to avoid being detected by the devils.

  Liu He and his men went to where again? It turned out that the scouts had already explored the last branch of the devils stationed in this county town, which was heading towards the county town. Liu He and his men wanted to give them another ambush and complete the final blow against the devils here.

  In these days, Liu He also went out several times, and each time was at night. He mainly stored some silver coins that he couldn't take with him in a certain place, where even some ammunition and firearms were stored. Only a few team leaders and group leaders knew about this place, and perhaps at some unknown time, they would come back to this place again. It's worth noting that the activity range set by Liu He was roughly a radius of 1,000 li around Shangli Village. Coming back here will likely happen many times, and maybe future difficulties will be great. Making preparations in advance is still necessary.

  As the saying goes, a good dog protects three neighbors, and a good man protects three villages. But for Liu He, a time-traveler, protecting just three villages would be too shameful. Although he can't protect all the villagers within a thousand miles, he can still avenge his fellow villagers and use brutal killings to warn the devils.

  "Captain, I've gathered intel that the enemy is also hiding during the day and moving at night. It seems they're planning to launch a surprise attack on us and try to retake the county town. According to our scouts who have been monitoring them, several people have been seen coming from the direction of the county town in the past few days, looking for them. Those people are likely their spies."

  It's normal for there to be traitors' eyes and ears in the city, and Liu He and his men can't blockade the city gates or inspect everyone who leaves. This gives some die-hard traitors the opportunity to inform the enemy, which is also why Liu He and his men sneak away at night.

  "When did the eyes of the devils meet with them?" "After noon, they usually set out in the morning and ride horses to find the devils outside the city, which is already noon. In the afternoon, they must return."

  "This also means they still don't know we've left the city." "Yes, our actions were very quiet, I think if they notice it will be in the morning."

  "Now the devils are where?" "The reporting team members said that they are still more than 20 miles away from us, and now they are advancing quickly. It seems that they want to launch a surprise attack on the county seat at dawn. I estimate that the eyes in the county seat will also play an internal response."

  "Alright, we'll ambush them five miles outside the county town." "Captain, there's no cover in this place, how can we set up an ambush?"

  "Stupid, this is a good place, there are two high slopes on both sides of the road, and at night, can the devils still see us hiding on the side?"
