Chapter 43: First Battle Victory, Harvest Abundant

  Tang Qiu rushed onto the bed, and the person's hand had just reached under the pillow. Before he could pull his hand out, a cold, icy, and chilling aura-emitting warrior's knife was pressed against his throat. This thing was the most authoritative, more effective than anything else. The guy was frozen in place, his posture unchanged from before. The cold blade, the hot body, this contrast was too great, how could it feel good? It seemed that this guy's hair stood on end.

  Two more people came over, pulled him down from the kang, and it turned out that this guy was still naked! Seven or eight hands quickly put clothes on him. This guy is still in a state of mental blankness, staring with wide eyes, without saying a word.

  Another one on the kang, wrapped in a big quilt, can be seen shaking like sifting flour even through the quilt, and the sound of teeth chattering can be heard. It's scary enough, no need to say that the two are sleeping naked in the same bed, this one must be a woman, but it's not possible for her to hide like this either?

  Tang Qiulai called in two female team members, why? Isn't it obvious?! The one in the quilt, definitely not wearing clothes either, naked! You say he's a big boy, reaching out to lift the quilt, that's not appropriate, right? So, call in the female team members? Let the several team members who had already entered turn their heads away, not suitable for minors. Later, the camera shot is quite racy, he himself was also prepared to accept the psychological impact, turned his face away. The two girls didn't hesitate either, immediately lifted the quilt open, and suddenly heard the two girls' shocked cry of "Oh my god!"

  Tang Qiuli was startled, what's going on? Could it be that these two female team members have encountered danger? Women who can get along with the big boss are not simple, busy turning their heads, rushing to the front of the bed, words didn't come out, knives arrived first, but upon closer inspection, they were shocked, delighted, and a bit dazed, the two little girls covered their faces and ran out.

  What the...?! Don't mention it, looking at it hurts my eyes! That naked woman in the bed, is a naked man! So tender and fair-skinned, no wonder those two female team members screamed, it's really unexpected! You say these two little girls have seen this before? If they didn't kill him on the spot, it's already considered self-control! When we get back to base, I'll definitely wash my eyes with water several times, afraid of being polluted!

  Tang Qiulei suddenly understood that this pair was a fake mandarin duck, a pair of rabbits! In more elegant terms, it's called "Dragon Yang's fondness" and "Cut Sleeve's addiction".

  Wow, this "Occupying the River" is quite something! It's really an eye-opener! This skill, the gunfire outside has also gradually subsided, it seems that the battle has ended.

  At this time, the guy in the middle of the ground also came to his senses and rushed towards Tang Qiuli with a fist, "Everyone! Dragon flies in the clouds, tiger runs in the mountains, each goes their own way. In the next move, it's not clear who is colliding with whom, who is fighting against whom? Everyone gives me a clear answer!" This guy, ah, is indeed a slippery pole and a puller of strings, full of dark words and Jianghu slang. The meaning is that although we are now wearing official clothes, at heart we are still hooligans, all fellow travelers on the same path. On that bumpy road, there's something to be said. "What is it, shaking leaves or stirring up trouble? Do you want to bump heads in the future?" Tang Qiuli didn't mince words either, speaking in dark language, implying that he wanted to probe our depths and seek revenge in the future. "No, no!" The guy hastily denied it.

  "You're a smart one, Jiang, do we need to say more?" Tang Qiuli said with a threatening tone. Upon hearing this, he was taken aback, "Boss, you've got the wrong person, I'm not the big boss, but rather the second-in-command, aka the deputy captain," The guy said with a bitter smile, clearly relieved, and who knows what he's thinking about "Zhan Manjiang" in his heart? What a pain in the neck, letting me take the fall for him!

  Tang Qiulian learned from the mouth of a fellow that "Zhan Manjiang" had entered the city yesterday afternoon to give gifts to a Japanese lieutenant colonel, seeking a higher official position. He brought with him sixty guards and a large quantity of gold, mountain delicacies, and wild game, filling an entire horse-drawn cart. The lieutenant colonel took up residence in this house, bringing his mistress along as well. This young man was quite cooperative, revealing everything he knew under the intimidation of the guns pointed at him, even volunteering information that hadn't been asked for.

  After Tang Qiuli finished interrogating the deputy captain, he turned around and walked out of the house. He wanted to see what was going on with the gunfire outside, and whether any team members were injured, which was his biggest concern.

  The team members in the courtyard were still on high alert, with the dark muzzles of their guns trained on each room. A strong smell of blood wafted through the cold wind, and he entered the room where the Japanese advisor was staying, which was under the responsibility of Mountain Tiger. The lights in the room had already been turned on. As soon as he entered, he saw that all eight devils in the room had been shot at least a dozen times each, with blood splattered everywhere, and they were all dead. It was impossible to tell which one was Yamamoto Masao. Two of the devils had fallen to the ground, with even more bullets lodged in their bodies, their eyes frozen in a permanent stare. Mountain Tiger was holding his machine gun, with a pile of shell casings at his feet, and it looked like he had fired at least two clips. The other team members were searching the room with curiosity etched on their faces.

  Tang Qiulei only found out later that at the moment when Mountain Tiger kicked open the door, he had originally wanted to capture them alive. But who knew that these devils were not pushovers and reacted quickly? One of them pulled out a pistol from under his pillow and fired at Mountain Tiger. In the chaos, the bullet flew past Mountain Tiger's arm, piercing his cotton-padded jacket. Mountain Tiger's first reaction was to open fire, and as a result, he emptied an entire clip in one go. Afraid that these devils might not be dead yet, he didn't stop firing and immediately followed up with another clip. This is the current scene now. It has to be said that Mountain Tiger's machine gun skills were top-notch, with uninterrupted firepower. But this was also a sign of tension - wasn't it a waste of ammunition? Or was it due to a lack of real combat experience?

  Tang Qiuli was delighted when he saw the things in this house, why? On the wall of the house, several military maps were hung, including all of Dongbei San Sheng and Nan Manchu. The team is currently lacking just this. The little devils have not put in less effort in Dongbei San Sheng. Just talking about these maps, they are extremely accurate, much better than the maps of the Republic of China government. There were also several binoculars hanging on the wall, and a military radio was placed on the table against the wall, with a password book next to it. These are all good things! Fortunately, Mountain Tiger didn't smash these things, or Tang Qiuli would have been heartbroken. He quickly called his team members to carefully collect these things, including the telephone machine on the table, which can be of great use.

  Tang Qiuli looked around each house, and it was a good thing that every house was like a slaughterhouse. There wasn't a single living person inside, which was to be expected. After all, it would have been strange if there were any survivors with the bullets and hand grenades flying around. The last house was particularly intense, with the hand grenades almost blowing the roof off. Weren't they supposed to put down their guns? As soon as the mountain tiger's machine gun fired on this side, bullets came shooting out from that side of the house. These fake police were incredibly ruthless, having honed their reaction skills from years of fighting in piles of dead bodies. If it hadn't been a sneak attack and their aim wasn't so accurate, the team members might have gotten hurt. And yet, one team member was shot right through the top of his head, with his hair even getting messed up - what a close call! If the gun had been aimed just a little lower, he would have lost the top of his skull. The team members' instinctive reaction was to open fire. When the police in the other houses heard the commotion, they didn't wait quietly to be taken prisoner, even though they were unarmed. They charged out with knives and clubs, these thugs being quite ferocious.

  When they saw this situation, all the team members remembered what the commander said. When necessary, they had to open fire and could not show mercy. What else was there to hesitate about? Let's do it! This guy, with machine guns, shotguns, and hand grenades, just kept calling out. It was a one-sided massacre. As a result, a mountain forest police team of over 170 people, except for the two survivors in that house and the sixty or so people taken away by "Zhan Manjiang", more than 100 people were wiped out by the team members. Even the few female team members opened fire, eliminating a major disaster for the villagers within a radius of over 100 miles.

  The team members were not only unafraid of the bloody scene, but each person had a coldness and killing intent that they had never had before. They widened their eyes to search around, looking for any survivors. After experiencing this scene, these twenty-year-old young people finally grew up in battle.

  Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with the performance of his teammates, a warrior, when it comes to dealing with enemies, one must be cold-blooded and ruthless, otherwise, the ones who would lose their lives would be themselves. Fortunately, this battle resulted in zero casualties, which was also the result he was most satisfied with.

  Tang Qiulian directed the team members to bring all useful things into the yard. At this time, Xiaoling walked over and pinched his arm hard, although it was through a thick coat, but still made him want to cry out in pain. This girl's strength is quite big! He stared at her with innocent big eyes, looking at this gentle girl who was usually as soft as water, his mind was full of confusion, not understanding what was going on?

  "Why did you pinch me?" "Why? You came up with a bad idea, how could you ask Er Ya and the others to lift the man's quilt, and still...". The next words, Xiaoling was too embarrassed to say, "It's not my fault, how did I know two men were sleeping in one bed, and they were naked! I thought it was a woman, could I just go up and lift the quilt?" Tang Qiuli argued. Xiaoling actually knew he didn't do it on purpose, but earlier that girl had complained to her, and her face was still red from talking, so Xiaoling just pretended to be angry. In the end, she pitied him and touched his face, "Does it hurt?" "Can it not hurt? You used so much force!" It seemed like Xiaoling really did pity him, and insisted on Tang Qiuli taking off his clothes to take a look. The two were entwined together when someone from the team shouted loudly, "Commander, come over quickly!" What else had they discovered?

  Tang Qiuli hurried over and found that behind the row of houses, there was a large house with its gate already open. Eight or nine team members were holding torches inside.

  As soon as he went in, his eyes were filled with little stars. What's going on? Happily, excitedly, unexpectedly surprised, and beyond expectation, what exactly is making Tang Qiuli look like this?

  In the spacious room, there were piles of guns and ammunition. There were two 92-style heavy machine guns, four mortars, five 96-style light machine guns, a large stack of cannonballs and bullets, and ten grenade launchers in the corner. The boxes stacked with hand grenades were piled high! How could he not be excited? How could he not be thrilled? This was Tang Qiuli's favorite thing. With this, plus the rifles they had captured earlier, it would be no problem to assemble a team of hundreds. He touched and examined each item, making "tsk" sounds with his mouth, praising them nonstop. It was a great haul! They knew that the Japanese devils had replenished their arsenal for the "Occupied Jiang", but they didn't expect so much, and everything was in such good condition. Tang Qiuli wondered what the Japanese were thinking. His ideal team equipment was all here! He walked with a spring in his step, feeling dizzy with excitement. There were also many communication devices nearby, including telephones and electrical wires.

  What surprised him even more was that in the corner of the wall on the west side, there was a large iron box. When he opened it, he found that it contained more than 20 bags of gold sand, each weighing five or six kilograms. Why is it gold sand? Isn't there a gold mine in this Black Blind Gorge? It's not where the ore comes from, but rather from panning for gold in the river and along its banks, and then further processing it to produce 99% pure gold bars. With just this gold sand, they're worth a fortune! They've struck it rich! This trip wasn't wasted after all. Not counting the annihilation of those mountain police who harm the people, there are also guns, ammunition, treasure, and equipment - this is the Blood Hand Gang's family fortune!

  Just right, there were several large sleds in the courtyard of the barracks, and even the horses were ready-made. What else could be said? They all pulled them away, transported them back to the base, and the team members were busy harnessing the sleds, loading things, and rushing around inside and out. At this time, the sky was also gradually brightening up.

  On the other side, the deputy captain and his girlfriend were pushed into a room. Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the guard: "Halt, don't run!" What's going on? Everyone was busy loading supplies, leaving only one soldier to watch these two guys in the room. This soldier watched everyone busily working, discussing which gun was good and which one was great, feeling itchy in his heart, occasionally sneaking a peek at the door, resenting their captain for giving him such an assignment, watching these two treasures, could they still run away?

  He really wanted to run, this deputy captain was also a fugitive, who had been in the army since he was young, and could mix with the second master of the house, which proved that he had ability. This little guy looked at this team member from time to time, didn't take them seriously, and had the idea of escaping. He borrowed the excuse that the room was cold, and begged him to let them wear their clothes well. The team member agreed, but didn't put this matter in his heart. Who knew what this little guy was thinking? After dressing up properly, he wanted to make a run for it! He was familiar with this area, as long as he rushed out of the door and drilled into the forest, no one could find him. So, he thought he had the confidence, so he had this idea.

  At this moment, the team member slipped back to the door, peeked into the courtyard, and turned his back on them. This little guy rushed towards him, just like that rabbit, exchanged a glance, and immediately understood what was going on. He followed the little guy and charged out, instantly knocking the team member guarding him to the ground. At the same time, he snatched the team member's 38 gun. Before the team member's cry for help had fallen, the two of them had already run into the courtyard. You say you want to run, just run, why make trouble? Holding the big gun, they charged towards the crowd and were about to open fire, intending to create chaos to ensure their safe escape. But he misjudged the situation. These people weren't ordinary soldiers; they were strictly trained special forces. Would they give him a chance to fire? Just then, a gunshot rang out, and the two of them immediately fell to the ground, seemingly lifeless. This time was good, they wouldn't have to run for their lives anymore, sparing themselves from exhaustion.

  How can one shot kill two people? It turned out that it was Pei Gang and Pei Qiang, the two brothers, who fired their guns at the same time, so it sounded like only one gunshot. Don't forget, these two brothers are excellent marksmen with tacit understanding and quick reflexes. As a result, the two men were shot, one in the forehead and the other in the back of the head. It's their bad luck to run into the Pei brothers; now they'll go to the King of Hell's place as a pair of star-crossed lovers.

  After a false alarm, with the efforts of all team members, everything has been packed and tied up. The sky is already bright, and the red sun is showing half its smiling face from behind the eastern mountain peak. It's another good day!

  The team drove the ox cart and left here. Before leaving, they set a fire and rushed along the big road at the bottom of the ditch to the gold mine on that side!
