Chapter 9: The Plan to Attack Hei Lang Stockade

  Unexpectedly, the five of us crossed over to this era together. Let's work together to kill more little devils! Now, we truly thank our motherland for nurturing us and bringing such advanced weapons with us when we crossed over. Gong Ziqi said it well - which angel sister accumulated virtue and brought us to this era?

  Tan Tian saw that everyone had eaten enough and wanted to discuss with everyone what to do next. So the five people found a quiet place and held a small meeting.

  Qin Tian's meaning is that during the Anti-Japanese War, he did not join any organization. Of course, if he was directly led by the Party Central Committee, it would be a different story. The other four people understood his meaning, he didn't want to be too constrained and also more convenient to form an alliance with other anti-Japanese organizations, using all forces that can be used to kill devils and traitors.

  Tan Tian proposed several ideas at the meeting. Firstly, the problem of ammunition, because the five people brought not many bullets, and currently the technology to manufacture this gun is not available, but the bullets are no problem, so the top priority task now is to find an arsenal to solve the bullet problem.

  Second, it is necessary to cultivate a group of people as soon as possible. In 1935, the little devils were rampant in North China and even supported Han traitors to set up a puppet government, demanding independence for North China. Since they came, how could they not cause some damage?

  Thirdly, it is necessary to recruit reliable team members as soon as possible and put them into training immediately, using the most scientific methods of modern times to train useful talents, in order to make preparations for the war of resistance two years later.

  Fourth, unite all forces that can be united. Although it is not necessary to talk big principles with them, they must be made to see the situation clearly. The nine mountains and eighteen strongholds are already armed forces, and these people will also be the focus of our efforts in the next stage.

  Fifth, in order to carry out future work smoothly, the five of us do not need to demand military discipline from ourselves. To live among bandits, the best approach is to become a muddled bandit. Although we are disciplined special forces soldiers, these things are no longer important when it comes to killing little devils. We must achieve a state where "wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha's heart remains".

  Sixth, it is about the relationship with the party. Fully support local underground organizations, but cannot be too explicit. Underground organizations will definitely try to win over these people, but still maintain a distance. This is because in order to obtain more intelligence in the future, it will inevitably come into contact with the Military Commission, the Central Committee and other organizations. This is also the reason for not joining the organization at present. All this is to prevent some dogmatists within the party from misunderstanding.

  Seventh, the establishment of an assassination team. Within a year, Chu Fei, Yue Hong, Zi Xun, and Bai Xue must become qualified snipers and killers. Because Qin Tian and anyone else can take on the role of sniper, but as the war of resistance breaks out, the power of Han traitors, special agents, puppet armies, and little devils will only grow stronger, and there will be many more missions for covert assassinations and raids. This is also another reason why Qin Tian did not join the organization.

  Eighth; Rapidly establish a base and strive for the shortest time to enter training.

  Everyone unanimously passed Qin Tian's plan and felt that this was a relatively good form. However, Qin Tian also put forward an idea, that is, if he could contact the central high-level leaders, it would be the best, so as to get the support of the whole party, and then get many important tasks accordingly. But this premise must be directly commanded by the central high-level leaders. To reach this condition, opportunities are also needed. Therefore, Qin Tian would leave Lin Shufen behind, with her, he could guarantee contact with the party.

  After everyone agreed, the next question was to find a foothold base first. So, Qin Tian found Meng Da's family and meant to let Qin Tian and others find a mountain head, so that everything would be ready-made and save energy and money from building new ones. Qin Tian and others thought this was indeed a good solution.

  Meng Da gave the information of the four mountain heads to Qin Tian and others. These four mountain heads were all some extremely evil villains, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil things. Even some bandits couldn't stand them because they didn't have the basic rules of bandits at all.

  After Meng Da Dangjia and several other leaders explained, Qin Tian and others finally understood that being a bandit also has basic rules. Moreover, some bandits enforce discipline very strictly.

  The vast majority of bandit troops required discipline: Four Alliance Covenant, Eight Reward Rules, and Eight Execution Articles.

  The Four Oaths are: 1. Keep confidentiality, 2. Observe discipline, 3. Share hardships together, 4. Rest and share the mountains together.

  The eight reward rules are: loyalty to the mountain affairs is rewarded; refusing enemy officials and soldiers is rewarded, those who send out horses the most are rewarded, expanding mountain affairs is rewarded, scouting enemy intelligence is rewarded, leading the most people is rewarded, fighting bravely is rewarded, and working together in harmony is rewarded.

  The Eight Prohibitions are: Those who leak secrets will be beheaded, those who resist orders will be beheaded, those who flee in battle will be beheaded, those who privately communicate with spies will be beheaded, those who lead the enemy to our position will be beheaded, those who hide and do not report enemy movements will be beheaded, those who bully their comrades will be beheaded, those who flirt with women will be beheaded.

  After listening to these bandit rules, I feel that the phrase "thieves also have their own way" is still very reasonable. Some bandits and thieves are not as bad as they are said to be, especially in this era, most of them were forced into it. It's true what they say: officials are worse than bandits.

  Meng Da's family and the others meant that these four bandits were not ordinary bandits, but evil people who did evil things without any rules or principles. Therefore, all the masters present felt that these people should be killed.

  Qin Tian let them finish drawing the map and marking the location. He decided that if it was true, then he would have to eliminate the harm for the people.

  According to Qin Tian's intention, Meng Da led his brothers and subordinates away from Feilong Village. They had already found a base and left the address for Qin Tian. Qin Tian also took the team members and eleven communists away from Feilong Village. At this time, the ten communists were basically unharmed, but they needed a long period of recuperation and nursing, with several suffering severe internal injuries.

  Tan Tian and others now knew that this was within the North China border, where they were located in the Taihang Mountains. This was a disaster-prone area during the War of Resistance, especially in 1942 when the Iron Wall Encirclement Campaign caused extremely heavy losses to the anti-Japanese organizations, with the Communist-led guerrilla forces almost suffering a devastating blow.

  Tan Tian and they certainly know this history, how many excellent revolutionary warriors sacrificed on this land. Which of these brothers remembers?

  Tan Tian has been thinking, for now the most important thing is to get money, but on second thought, those four mountain bandits are so ferocious, and it's estimated that they won't have little wealth from plundering. Why not just go and destroy them? However, further investigation is still needed. After all, it's common for bandits to kill each other. What if it's the Flying Dragon Fort trying to borrow a knife to kill someone? Tan Tian and his men are not people who can be used as pawns. Apart from the country and nation, anyone who tries to use them will be firmly opposed.

  Tan Tian found a village, fortunately, Chu Fei and the four younger brothers still had some money on them. They found a fellow villager to temporarily settle down these ten people, also letting Lin Shufen stay behind to take care of them, leaving some money for the villager, enough for their use.

  Tan Tian and the five people took Chu Fei, Yue Hong, Zi Xun and Bai Xue to rush to the mountain on the map. Along the way, they asked everyone they met, and what they heard was almost the same as what the people of Feilong Village said. They were indeed extremely evil bandits. These bandits can be said to have done all evils.

  Tan Tian followed the map and rushed straight to the Black Wolf's Den, which was the stronghold of the Black Wolf Gang and also the most ruthless of the four gangs. They didn't arrive until nightfall, but fortunately, the four younger brothers were all skilled fighters, and their physical strength wasn't much different from Tan Tian's. In the past few days, the four younger brothers had already learned how to shoot guns, because they previously knew how to use hidden weapons, so predicting and locking onto targets didn't require any practice. Moreover, shooting at wooden stakes was starting to get interesting.

  This time Qin Tian brought them mainly to exercise, and actual combat is the most effective way to train. The night in the mountains was very dark, and they could only vaguely see the road, fortunately, Qin Tian and his team all had high-level military watches and received special training, so they wouldn't get lost.

  At midnight, around 12 o'clock, Tan Tian and others arrived at the Black Wolf's Den. From a distance, they saw that there was already light, which was emitted by lanterns. Up ahead was the Black Wolf Fort.

  Nine people arrived at the foot of the mountain stronghold, and quietly came to the outside of the mountain stronghold gate. Qin Tian was also testing the four younger brothers, directing Chu Fei and Yue Hong to go up and kill the guards, while Zhang Jia had already taken aim at the bandit guards with a low-light scope.

  Chu Fei and Yue Hong approached the mountain stronghold gate, one on each side. Just as they did, two muffled groans were heard, and the two guards fell to the ground. Chu Fei and Yue Hong went over to retrieve their hidden weapons, then confirmed that the two guards were dead. But just at this moment, another two muffled groans came from above, and two more bandits fell down from the gate tower above Chu Fei and his companions.

  Tan Tian and seven others followed to the mountain stronghold gate, the gate was very high, this didn't stop these few people, especially Chu Fei's lightness skill was excellent, with a little help they ran up onto the gate tower, flipped into the mountain stronghold, opened the gate, Tan Tian assigned tasks, Zhang Jia covered, Wang Xinting brought Chu Fei to the south, Fu Yulong brought Yue Hong to the east, Gong Ziqi brought Zi Xun, himself brought Bai Xue. They split up and sneaked into different wooden houses.

  In front of the big house in Zheng's village, there was a large flagpole with a large flag on it, embroidered with "Replace Heaven and Walk the Way". However, these people did not follow suit, but instead went against the way.

  Qin Tian entered the gathering hall with Bai Xue, a place where bandits usually gathered. The interior was lit up by torches made of pine resin, illuminating the entire hall. Qin Tian first peeked inside and saw that there was no one sitting in the main seat, but on the long benches on both sides were several bandits who were fast asleep.

  Qin Tian did a front flip and landed right in front of these people, taking out his dagger to quickly end their lives. Bai Xue also held a short knife in her hand, but she didn't kill anyone.

  Qin Tian brought the white snow to the back of the hall, where there were three wooden houses. Qin Tian quickly approached the one on the far left and heard a woman's voice inside. At this time, White Snow also followed over, still a young girl who didn't understand the meaning of it all, thinking that the woman inside was ill.
