Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1473, Killing Bandits

Xuzhou. Strategic location. The ancient battlefield of the Central Plains.

To use Chiang Kai-shek's lines, there were more than fifty large-scale conquests in the past dynasties. Right and wrong are tortuous and difficult to discuss.

However, historians have all noticed that it was on this ancient battlefield that the rise and fall of many dynasties was determined.

Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying of "aiming for the Central Plains".

Looking around, there is a vast plain.

There are no mountains.

There are only plains.

Endless as far as the eye can see. Boundless.

No matter what kind of weapon it is, it can be used with full power here.

Planes, artillery, tanks…

The most ideal battlefield. There are no restrictions at all.

There is a railway. There are roads. Transportation is convenient. Troops can maneuver quickly.

The cavalry can gallop freely and horizontally. Play freely.

Looking back now, I feel that my horizons were still too small. The 48th Army actually came from the southeastern foothills of Dabie Mountain.

In fact, the 48th Army should be allowed to board the ship in Nanchang, go directly to Hankou, and then get on the train.

It only takes two days and two nights to get from Hankou to Xuzhou by train.

The troops don't have to be so exhausted.

Look at the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, get off the car and assemble, and they will soon be able to enter the battle.

By the time the 48th Army arrives from the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains, the day lilies may be cold. But no one reminded me.

well…

"Commissioner."

He Zhuguo called out in a low voice.

Zhang Yong brought his thoughts back. Then nodded.

Get on your horse. Ready to go.

do what?

Go to Jining.

"Assist" in reorganizing Han Fuju's troops.

Well, it's assistance. Not an inspector. Mainly to prevent mutiny.

Although the possibility of mutiny is small. Han Fuju's troops were simply in disarray. Totally uncohesive.

As the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, he can be said to be a hodgepodge. A mixed bag.

The several military commanders under his command also have their own plans.

Sun Tongxuan, commander of the 12th Army, came from a poor family and was more inclined to progress. There is also some spirit in fighting.

Sergeant Fulin of the 55th Army was very cunning. Born in the Northwest Army. It’s not that you can’t fight. But the calculation is very clear.

The 56th Army was completely made up of numbers. There are only two divisions. Basically empty shelves. There are less than ten thousand people.

The commander's name is Tian Hanwen. But it's not on the military and political department's organizational list.

In other words, this guy is a temporary worker. Not officially compiled.

Tian Hanwen didn't attend yesterday's meeting either.

There is another army, the 51st Army, whose commander is Yu Xuezhong, who turned out to be the Northeast Army. Temporarily placed under the name of the Third Army. But Han Fuju could not move.

After Han Fuju was arrested, the headquarters issued an order appointing Yu Xuezhong as the commander-in-chief of the Third Army.

It was equivalent to completely ignoring Han Fuju's troops.

This is the current situation of the national army.

There are four armies, with a total strength of less than 80,000.

Those with combat effectiveness may be less than 20,000.

Sun Tongxuan has five thousand men, Cao Fulin has three thousand men, and Yu Xuezhong has eight thousand men. This is the fighting strength.

If you calculate the combat effectiveness based on 80,000 people, you will definitely die miserably.

Therefore, if 200,000 people besiege 20,000 Japanese invaders, the actual number of combatants may be less than 50,000.

In fact, 50,000 people besieged 20,000 people, and the weapons and equipment were not as good as the opponent's. Attack again. Naturally strenuous.

Zhang Yong's mission this time is to eliminate the weak and retain the strong.

Those who have no fighting ability and those who have nothing to eat are sent home. The troops were disbanded. The number is saved. But substitution. Change from head to toe.

Recruit those who have fighting ability, courage, and those who dare to go to the battlefield.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The sound of horse hooves is intensive. Sweeping across the land.

Very far away. A full three hundred miles.

You can actually take a train from Xuzhou to Jining. But Zhang Yong didn't want to sit down.

He needs to go to the four armies under the jurisdiction of the Third Army, each army understands the situation, and then decides how to deal with it.

Including Yu Xuezhong, the commander-in-chief of the group army, no one has as much power as him.

Because he came with Shang Fang's sword.

After taking down Han Fuju, he really killed whoever he said he would kill.

Anyway, Zhang Yong has enemies all over the place, so why not have a few more?

Silently observe the radar map.

The display radius of the radar map has been expanded to six kilometers, which makes Zhang Yong feel a little more secure.

In the plains, even if you encounter Japanese cavalry, you can still make a lot of preparations at a distance of six kilometers. If you want to escape, there is enough time.

But no Japanese cavalry was encountered. No red dot appears.

There are a lot of scattered white spots. Bring weapons. The identity cannot be identified at this time.

Probably the cavalry of the national army.

Or maybe they were sporadic horse thieves.

In the ancient battlefield of the Central Plains, forces from all sides crisscrossed each other.

In addition to the regular army, there are also local militia groups.

In addition to local militia groups, there were also many horse thieves. That is, bandits.

Most bandits have horses and are skilled in riding, so they are called horse thieves. They often come and go without a trace.

"Commander He." Zhang Yong suddenly spoke.

"Commissioner, tell me." He Zhuguo kept his posture very low.

"I have a doubt. Are those horse thieves really horse thieves? Are they not faked by the army?"

"There are fake ones."

"It seems that this is an open secret!"

"With insufficient military resources, it is common for soldiers to loot and loot. If you do it more covertly, you are pretending to be a horse thief."

"I see."

Zhang Yong actually knew this for a long time.

It's in the military commander's report. There are detailed surveys on horse thieves in various places.

In the Central Plains, North China and other places, horse thieves are rampant. It is not that the horse thieves are so powerful, but that behind the horse thieves are often the army.

Where horse thieves wreak havoc the most, it shows that the local army is the most corrupt.

It seems that people like Sun Dianying and Shi Yousan, in addition to directly setting up troops to plunder, they also have many horse thieves behind them, only God knows.

The wealth obtained by the horse thieves eventually fell into the hands of various military leaders.

What? The horse thief secretly hides it himself?

hehe. Unless you want to die. Otherwise, it will definitely be cleaned up internally.

To put it bluntly, Shi Yousan and Sun Dianying are the biggest bandit leaders. So does Tian Hanwen.

Suddenly, the map showed that there was a collision of white dots at the northeast edge.

One of the white dots is marked. He is the commander of the special agent company under He Zhuguo, He Yingping.

He Yingping led the special agent company to clear the way in front and reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

In fact, Zhang Yong does not need it. But the Second Cavalry Army needs it! Sending people to explore the road is the normal operation.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Suddenly, there was a slight gunshot.

He Zhuguo didn't pay attention at first, but then he realized something was wrong.

Although it is far away. But it was gunfire.

The sound of gunshots means there is hostility. It is estimated that He Yingping encountered an enemy.

"Which part of the garrison is nearby?"

"It's Tian Hanwen's Fifty-sixth Army."

"oh."

Zhang Yong then stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving Xuzhou, he would enter a bandit's den.

This Tian Hanwen is probably the biggest bandit leader. It is estimated that more than half of his troops are horse thieves.

The arrangement of the fifth theater is also crazy. Tian Hanwen was actually allowed to be stationed near Xuzhou. Aren't you afraid of this guy robbing Xuzhou?

Then I thought about it, the fifth theater is also difficult.

Such a force may be more dangerous if placed out of sight.

It's better to put it under Xuzhou's nose and monitor it all the time. It is estimated that the other party will not dare to mess around. Don't dare to make too big a fuss.

In Xuzhou, the Fifth War Zone has always had an army stationed as a security force. It is Gui's own 46th Army. It was the 50,000 heads later in the Battle of Laiwu...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gunshots continued.

Zhang Yong could tell that it was a Ma Sihuan rifle.

He Yingping's special agent company is equipped with Ma Sihuan. I guess the horse thieves don't have such a good gun.

Vaguely, I noticed white spots disappearing. Probably bandits.

Afterwards, white dots moved rapidly from the place of occurrence to this side. It should be a report.

"Da da da..."

"Da da da..." Sure enough, a moment later, two Qingqi arrived.

Reported an encounter with a band of horse thieves. Its leader is Lei Zhenzi, who has been wanted by the government.

"What?" Zhang Yong asked curiously.

Lei Zhenzi?

What?

Become a god?

Cultivation?

"The nickname of a bandit leader." He Zhuguo explained, "He is a fierce bandit. He is quite capable. I have sent people to encircle and suppress him several times, but without success."

After a pause, he said slowly: "Ma Buqing also suffered a loss from him before."

"Really?" Zhang Yong immediately raised his eyebrows.

Are there such ruthless bandits?

Do you want to refresh the copy yourself?

He Zhuguo's encirclement and suppression campaign failed, and Ma Buqing still suffered a loss?

You must know that Ma Buqing is Ma Jiajun! Their fighting prowess and ferocity are unquestionable.

"I'll go take a look."

"Commissioner..."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

He Zhuguo hurriedly led people to follow.

He was not worried about something happening to Zhang Yong. I'm just worried that I'll lose another chance.

Even the Japanese invaders couldn't kill Zhang Yong, and the bandits probably didn't have such ability. Of course, precautions are still necessary.

"Da da da..."

"Da da da..."

Approach the scene of the incident quickly.

Zhang Yong first marked several bandits.

Regardless of whether there is any Lei Zhenzi in it, mark it first.

The next time we meet, we can catch him and beat him to death. In pursuit. Until the opponent is completely eliminated.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The sound of gunfire gradually became clearer.

It was easy to tell that it was a Mosin-Nagant rifle.

Probably used by bandits.

The Mosin-Nagant rifle is actually not suitable for cavalry use. too long. Too bulky. The bolt is also more difficult to pull.

However, for those tough bandits, this is not a problem.

Especially the masters among the bandits.

One special feature of the Mosin-Nagant rifle is that the barrel is chromium-plated and will almost never rust.

Even without professional maintenance, the barrel is in good condition. Accuracy can be maintained for a long time.

Many Mosin-Nagant rifles have oily buttstocks. However, the barrel is still excellent. Within 800 meters, the accuracy is still extremely high.

Ma Sihuan cannot do this. Even the original horse rings.

Because the barrel of the Ma Sihuan gun will rust over time. Especially if there is a lack of maintenance.

It is also a 20-year-old gun, and the accuracy of the Ma Sihuan may be greatly reduced. But the Mosin-Nagant rifle can still kill with one hit from a distance.

Gradually the warring sides are seen.

It was indeed He Yingping's special agent company and five bandits.

Well, there are only five bandits.

There are more than seventy people in the special agent company.

"The one wearing the straw hat is Lei Zhenzi."

"I saw it."

Zhang Yong raised his telescope.

The distance is approximately 1800 meters. Very far. Firearms cannot hit.

What surprised him was that there was actually a woman among the bandits. He also had a gun in his hand.

What's even weirder is that during the operation, Zhang Yong discovered that the female bandit seemed to be pregnant. The belly is obviously bulging. I also have some scruples when fighting.

Okay, got it. Today, these gangsters are trapped by an unborn child.

The child in the female bandit's belly became a burden.

If the female bandit hadn't been pregnant, the gangsters would have fled long ago.

However, the current situation is that if others run away, the female bandit will never be able to escape.

Don't talk nonsense about not killing women. This is a battlefield.

There are only ourselves and the enemy on the battlefield. There is only life and death.

The female bandit had a gun. Are you kind to her? How many lives do you have?

In fact, the female bandit not only had a gun, but she was also a hero. Being able to play with this kind of rifle is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

As he watched, suddenly, a spark shot into the air. Then explode.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

What's the meaning?

An arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops coming to meet?

Shake people?

Are there any gangsters nearby?

Checked the radar map and found nothing. There are no other armed white spots nearby.

Then the gunfire gradually stopped.

He Yingping and others actually gradually stopped shooting.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

What's going on?

Why did you stop shooting?

Fight!

Keep fighting!

Don't worry about the female bandit!

This is a battlefield! There is no male or female. He who has weapons is the enemy!

Unless the enemy lays down his weapons...

Just as he was about to scream, he saw another strange scene.

The remaining five bandits all threw away their guns after sparks shot into the air and exploded. Then raise your hands.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

Huh? Is this surrender? Or is it a delaying tactic?

Is it actually a fake surrender? And then wait for reinforcements to arrive? And then rebel again?

It seems that Li Zicheng often uses this trick.

The peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty had tried and failed. If you can't beat them, surrender. And then rebel again when given the chance.

The officers and soldiers were also drunk. He actually didn't chop off Li Zicheng's head. Let him rebel again and again. Finally entered the capital.

To be honest, if it were Zhang Yong who went to encircle and suppress him. There is talk of accepting surrender.

On the surface, I promise you that you will surrender, put down your weapons, and then kill them all. Leave no one behind.

"Lei Zhenzi surrendered." He Zhuguo said in a deep voice. Clench your fist hard.

"Kill him." Zhang Yong said coldly.

"He surrendered."

"Kill."

Zhang Yong's tone was cold.

What surrender? Doesn't exist.

He didn't believe that such a ruthless bandit would surrender wholeheartedly.

They are all the most cunning masters. It is impossible to raise it to maturity.

These ruthless bandits have the blood of innocent people on their hands, and it would not be an exaggeration to shoot them a hundred times.

On the contrary, keeping them alive would be a disaster.

Clamp the horse's belly and drive the horse forward.

"Mr. Commissioner!"

"Mr. Commissioner!"

He Yingping and others hurriedly came up to salute.

Zhang Yong nodded. Arrive in front of the so-called Lei Zhenzi.

The other person's eyes were cold. It was obviously impossible to surrender.

Everything is an illusion.

Of course Zhang Yong cannot be fooled.

So I took out the Colt M1911 pistol directly.

Bang!

One shot to the head.

Lei Zhenzi:? ? ?

no. Did I surrender?

I have set off the fireworks of surrender...

Killing and surrendering are ominous…

However, it was useless.

The gun has gone off.

"you…"

The other four gangsters immediately ran away.

They rushed around frantically, trying to **** weapons.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Gunshots were fired.

It wasn't Zhang Yong who fired the shot.

It's everyone else who shoots. Bullets rained down.

The three bandits were killed on the spot. Only the female bandit is still alive. Others spared her life.

Zhang Yong:…

I didn’t expect that Qi Erjun could be so humane.

is a good thing. It's also a bad thing.

The good thing is they are really kind. Don't kill women.

The bad thing is, next time someone exploits a vulnerability like this against them...

well…

"Take her back. Put her in Xuzhou Prison."

"yes."
