"It seems that we can join forces to fight."

"Join forces?"

"My mission is also to suppress bandits. Catch the bandits who launched the attack and deal with them severely and quickly."

"Seriously and quickly?"

"That's it."

Zhang Yong took out the shell gun.

boom!

boom!

Kill all five gangsters.

right.

That's it.

Du Zhangyuan said hurriedly: "They are prisoners..."

"It's your side's policy to treat prisoners preferentially, not mine." Zhang Yong took back his shell gun.

"You..." Du Zhangyuan was choked and stopped talking.

Minister Chen:......

frown.

This Zhang Yong is not easy to deal with!

But it seems that he had any ill intentions towards the Red Army. He also gave a lot of ammunition to the cavalry company.

What a complicated person.

"Minister Chen, let's talk."

"good."

"Minister Chen, these bandits are stubborn and will come back again if they don't kill a group of them. According to my idea, those who are caught and stubborn will be shot on the spot. Only those who sincerely repent will be killed.

It can be forgiven.”

"However, there are many bandits in the area from the border area to Xi'an. For the information we have obtained, there are more than 500 people. There are more than a hundred people and less than a dozen people. Do you want to kill them all?"

"right."

"The key to suppressing bandits is to mobilize the masses..."

"I understand this. Therefore, it is your business to mobilize the masses. It is my business to shoot the gangsters. Let's work on both sides."

"you……"

Minister Chen was speechless. He started to speak but stopped.

I feel Zhang Yong is weird. But I can't explain what is weird.

"Minister Chen, you might as well speak up."

"We must mobilize the masses to eradicate the soil where bandits breed..."

"Yes. You go do it."

"Why don't you do it?"

"Because we can't do it!"

"What?"

"It is impossible for us to mobilize the masses. Otherwise, after the masses wake up, the first thing they need to eliminate is not the bandits, but us."

"What?"

"Because we are representatives of the local tyrants, evil gentry, bourgeoisie, and bureaucratic compradors! We are not representatives of the workers, peasants, and soldiers."

"you……"

Minister Chen will never be punished.

No. That’s what you said. How come you understand it better than what I said?

silence.

think.

Zhang Yong spoke again.

"In short, if we want to eradicate the gangsters, we have to rely on you..."

"We don't have enough manpower either..."

"So, you need me. You need me to go on a killing spree."

"What?"

"Catch some, kill some, and lose some."

"no……"

"The bandits must be cleared out as soon as possible, otherwise, once the main force moves eastward, the bandits in the rear will reappear."

"you……"

"Now the Japanese invaders are watching, and a full-scale invasion may be carried out at any time. When the time comes, the Japanese invaders will rampage, and we must mobilize the main force to fight against the Japanese invaders. If the bandits in the rear reappear, it will put great pressure on us."

"this……"

Minister Chen remained silent and finally acquiesced.

Of course the other party's method is not the most correct. However, the short-term effect...

Very good indeed.

"Minister Chen, you just said that you have information on hundreds of gangsters?"

"Roughly the same."

"We eliminated a group of gangsters before, including your people..."

"No."

"What I'm saying is that he should not be injured and has retreated safely. However, it is very likely that he followed others to a nearby gangster's lair. So, my next plan is to continue plowing the courtyard and clearing the lair.

A gangster's den."

"That's fine."

"Walk!"

Zhang Yong then waved.

Chao Lichun immediately came over with his cavalry company.

Minister Chen and Du Zhangyuan are also preparing to leave.

"you……"

"I know where the bandits' lair is."

"good."

"Come with me!"

Zhang Yong led the way and quickly approached the gangster's lair.

With the red dot marks of Japanese spies, it was very easy to find the gangster's lair. It took only a few hours to find it.

It's still the kind of terrain with crisscrossed ravines, like a maze.

"It's half a cloud."

"What?"

"The leader of this group of bandits is nicknamed Bantianyun. They are all cavalry and horse thieves. They come and go like the wind. They come and go without a trace."

"Is it great?"

"It may be more difficult to deal with..."

"Then let's get started!"

Zhang Yong directly ordered the attack.

There's nothing a mortar can't blast.

The bandits positioned themselves in the deepest part of the ravine, which was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, the bandits had no way out. They had to fight to death or surrender.

Lead the team yourself.

Open the way directly with mortars.
