Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

A scene of ruins.

The battle is over.

Wang Mazi's warlord troops were completely annihilated, and the remaining bandits scattered like birds and beasts.

Soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment are cleaning up the battlefield, collecting weapons and ammunition, and treating the wounded.

The battle was fierce. Although Wang Mazi's troops were poorly equipped, they put up a stubborn resistance and almost caused casualties to the Independent Regiment.

"Battalion Commander, we've captured a few prisoners. What should we do with them?" a company commander ran over to report.

Dajun thought for a moment, "Keep an eye on them for now, and we'll talk about it when the commander arrives."

"yes!"

In the distance, several jeeps drove up.

Lin Tian jumped out of the car, with Brigade Commander Chen following behind him. Lin Tian's gaze swept across the battlefield, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"How is the situation?"

Dajun saluted. "Reporting to the commander, Wang Mazi has been killed. His more than 3,000 troops have been annihilated, and our army has suffered more than 30 casualties."

Lin Tian nodded. "Okay, tell the soldiers to speed things up and finish clearing the battlefield before dark."

"Yes."

Just then, a woman's scream came from deep within the ruins, "Why did you take so long to come? If you had come sooner, my parents wouldn't have been killed by Wang Mazi! You are all sinners! You all deserve to die!"

All eyes turned in that direction.

A woman in tattered clothes rushed out of the ruins, her hair disheveled and her face streaked with tears.

She staggered toward Lin Tian, ​​and several soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop her.

"Let me go, you executioners! Why didn't you come sooner?"

The woman struggled frantically, screaming, "Do you know how long I've been waiting?"

That beast Wang Mazi beat my father to death right in front of me and raped my mother! Where are you? Where are you?

Lin Tian's face darkened. He walked up to the woman, and several soldiers quickly stood in front of him to protect her.

"Get out of the way."

The soldiers made way for them.

The woman stared at him with bloodshot eyes and arrogantly asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Lin Tian, ​​commander of the Huaxia Independent Brigade."

The woman paused for a moment, then burst into hysterical laughter. "Commander? You're that commander? Hahahaha..."

Why didn't you come sooner? If you had come sooner, my parents wouldn't have died. Why didn't you come sooner?

Lin Tian's brows furrowed even more.

"When did Wang Mazi kill your parents?"

"One month ago."

The woman screamed in anguish, "You're in the next city, why didn't you come sooner? Did you deliberately stay away? Did you want Wang Mazi to live a few more days and kill my parents?"

Brigade Commander Chen stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Sir, this woman's mental state isn't right. She might have been traumatized. Should we take her away first?"

Lin Tian shook his head. "Wang Mazi's troops have been entrenched in this area for many years. Just a month ago, we were still suppressing bandits."

"Excuses! All excuses!"

The woman screamed, "You just don't want to come! You just want these dog warlords to live a few more days so you can collect their money and their grain!"

Da Jun's expression changed, and he roared angrily, "Insolence! Our commander..."

Lin Tian made a gesture and looked at the woman, "I know you've lost a loved one and are heartbroken."

But you can't treat us as enemies. It was Wang Mazi who killed your parents, not us.

"Then why didn't you come sooner? If you had come sooner, my father and mother wouldn't have died!"

The woman repeated the same sentence hysterically, her body trembling.

Dajun couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward, cursing:

"How can you be so unreasonable, woman? Don't we need time to fight? Don't we need time to travel? We've sacrificed so many brothers, are you blind?"

The woman was stunned for a moment by his shout, then roared again, "You deserve to die! Who told you not to come sooner? You all deserve to die!"

Before Dajun could say anything more, Lin Tian waved his hand, signaling him to step back. "What's your name?"

The woman paused for a moment, then said, "My name is... Wang Xiuying."

"Wang Xiuying, your parents were killed by Wang Mazi. We avenged you. You should be grateful to us instead of cursing us. You should have a conscience."

"gratitude?"

"conscience?"

Wang Xiuying sneered, "What do you have to be grateful for? My parents are dead. You're too late. Why didn't you come sooner?"

Crazy woman.

Lin Tian's patience finally ran out, and his voice turned cold. "Since you miss your parents so much, then go and reunite with them."

"What?"

The woman was taken aback and puzzled.

"Bang!"

It's solved.

Lin Tian blew on the gunpowder-laden muzzle and ordered, "This woman has been brainwashed by the enemy. She's a spy. Next time you encounter a situation like this, shoot her on sight."

"Yes, sir."

Dajun nodded in agreement, knowing that Lin Tian, ​​who had been secretly sealed by Qian Sifeng, was no saint.

Someone repeatedly defecated on his neck without giving him any face, so he had to send her to see Buddha.

Brigade Commander Chen walked over. "Sir, it's getting dark. Shouldn't we head back?"

"Um."

Lin Tian nodded. "Have the troops assemble and prepare for retreat."

"Yes."

The troops began to assemble.

The tanks started up, and the infantry lined up.

Although the soldiers were exhausted, they were in high spirits.

Winning a battle is always a joyful thing.

Lin Tian said, "Report the list of fallen soldiers, ensure that the compensation is paid in a timely manner, and provide proper medical treatment for the wounded soldiers."

"Yes."

The general said, "And what about those prisoners?"

Lin Tian paused for a moment, then asked, "Are there any prisoners?"

"Yes."

After a burst of gunfire, the troops began to retreat.

Lin Tian sat in the jeep as the ruins gradually receded into the distance.

Brigade Commander Chen asked, "Sir, where do we go next?"

"Let's go back to Shanghai. There are still many things waiting for us to deal with."

"Yes."

The jeep drove onto the main road and headed north.

Warlords in other regions also surrendered one after another.

Some were executed, some were imprisoned, and some were dismissed.

The vigorous campaign to purge warlords lasted for a month.

Shanghai Bund.

Chen Lü held the battle report in his hand. "Commander, all the warlords on the list have been dealt with."

They annihilated or incorporated over 100,000 troops and captured countless weapons.

"it is good."

Lin Tian nodded. "Tell the troops to continue maintaining order in various places, prevent evil forces from making a comeback, and restore peace to the people."

By the way, I heard Chiang Kai-shek went to Southeast Asia?

Brigade Commander Chen said, "Yes, sir, they have withdrawn and are probably already fighting the local indigenous people."

Chen Cheng even contacted me to buy weapons, asking if we'd sell tanks and planes.

"Sell, but only sell weapons that fit this era, and let them fight."

In the past, the Zhou dynasty expanded its territory dozens of times through this enfeoffment system.

Like Yuan Shikai, Chiang Kai-shek also harbored ambitions to become emperor, but with Yuan Shikai's failure as a cautionary tale, he dared not.

The people have stood up; the people are now the masters of their own destiny; he dares not go against the will of the people.
