Chapter 420 2 The Mountain Cat
Before Wang Meng arrived at the airport, Li Yunlong's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Mengzi, Kong Jie called back. He has never been to Black Wind Village, let alone had any contact with Xie Baoqing. Now he is heading to Zhujiayuan with an armored infantry regiment!"
"Okay, I got it! Lao Li, I'm here to give you a heads up. Something might have happened to the monk, so be prepared!"
Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat. He originally thought that the biggest problem was that his weapons and equipment were stolen by these bandits, but he never thought that his former bodyguard Wei Heshang would get into trouble?
He and Monk Wei had a life-and-death friendship. When Li Yunlong was the head of the regiment, he kept fighting and charging forward. If Monk Wei hadn't been watching his back, he would have died countless times.
"Damn it! If anyone dares to touch Monk Wei, I will peel off his skin and pull out his tendons! Immediately send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, requesting their nearest troops to support Black Wind Village. If anyone destroys Black Wind Village, I, Old Li, will give him a hundred semi-automatic rifles!"
Li Yunlong's telegram was sent out, and the Eighth Route Army soon responded.
There is indeed a group of bandits in Heifengzhai, in the defense area of the 386nd Regiment of the 772th Brigade.
Because that group of bandits were well-armed, Blind Cheng contacted them and planned to recruit them into the Independent Battalion of the 772nd Regiment.
Blind Cheng also immediately sent a telegram to Li Yunlong, asking him to give him some time to investigate the matter to avoid any misunderstanding.
"Damn it, this is bullshit! No one can persuade me now. When I get to Zhujiayuan, if Monk Wei is gone, what about the independent brigade? I will destroy the 772nd Regiment!"
Li Yunlong was extremely anxious. He handed over the combat command center to Lin Shubing, got on the jeep and drove towards Pingshun Airport.
Wang Meng set off with the parachute battalion, while Li Yunlong led the airdrop battalion on board the glider and also flew towards Zhujiayuan.
The entire Pingshun Airport was in an uproar. Everyone thought that a war was about to break out. Lu Tianlong also rushed to the airport, ready to be on duty all night.
According to calculations, they had arrived above Zhujiayuan in less than an hour. The rear hatch opened, and Wang Meng looked down in the light before it was completely dark. He was disappointed.
Fierce gunfire was taking place in Zhujiayuan, and judging from the situation, the independent column's convoy was being besieged by the enemy!
"Parachute to the periphery as planned! Then quickly open a gap from the outside!"
Monk Wei, who was surrounded in the middle, couldn't help feeling happy when he saw the white umbrellas filling the sky.
"Hahaha, comrades, hold on a little longer, our troops are coming!"
The confused leader of the Black Wind Village looked at the white umbrellas filling the sky. Although he couldn't tell what was going on, a sense of danger rose in his heart.
"Second Commander, tell the brothers to fight quickly and decisively!"
Shanmaozi, the second in command of the Black Wind Village, nodded. This time, robbing this batch of supplies was their last battle before being incorporated, and it was also his own idea. There couldn't be any mistakes.
There are more than 20 truckloads of supplies. If they are sold to other bandits or militia groups, they will be boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
Even if the leaders of these groups cannot get used to the hard life of the Eighth Route Army in the future, they can just give up at least because they have gold, silver and jewelry to protect themselves.
"Don't worry, Boss. Judging from their marksmanship, they are all new recruits. If we charge again, we should be able to take them down!"
Shanmaozi's guess was correct, Monk Wei was indeed leading a company of new recruits.
Logically speaking, the soldiers of their 201st Airborne Regiment should be selected from various armored divisions and infantry divisions, and they are all veterans.
But this batch of recruits is different. They are all college graduates from Pingshun University. They are high-level talents who have joined the army. Their tactical skills are a little lacking, but they all have their own strengths, including advantages in foreign languages, blasting, electromechanical, communications, etc.
Facing the extremely vicious Black Wind Village bandits, this company of student soldiers plus twenty or so motor vehicle soldiers, even with the advantage of automatic rifles, could only end up in a draw at best, and gradually fell behind as time went on.
Shanmaozi saw that many of his brothers had fallen down around him. Although he didn't know what those things that just fell from the sky were, he also felt a hint of danger.
So, he took a gamble and made a ruthless move.
"Brothers, those twenty or so cars are all great stuff. Let's charge and take them back. Then we can have a good life. Why would we still be Eighth Route Army soldiers? Let's just go back and marry concubines and become local landlords! Charge!"
When the bandits who had gathered in the mountains heard that they were going home to marry concubines, they all became excited as if the barrage of bullets in front of them was not their fucking bridal chamber.
Although these bandits had not received any formal training, they had acquired a lot of skills from frequently intercepting people on the road. They took cover from trees and rocks and gradually approached the surrounded trucks.
And outside those trucks, there was a bald man, watching the bandits' every move with a telescope.
"The Japanese are so cunning! They keep trying to get into blind spots where we can't shoot. Pass the order down. Fire grenades within 20 meters! As long as we can hold out until the paratroopers break through, we'll be saved!"
These student soldiers were not good at shooting and could not pose a threat to the bandits who were burrowing around like moles. Fortunately, the trucks behind them were arsenals with plenty of grenades!
Monk Wei even brought out a Japanese mortar and fired at the bandits on the hillside! However, the bandits in Black Wind Village were very cunning and never gathered together, so the effect of the bombardment was extremely limited.
"Captain, the bandits are approaching! Why don't you lead the new recruits to charge out first? Although we are car soldiers, we are also veterans. Leave it to us!"
Even though Monk Wei regarded these student soldiers as treasures, he could not bring himself to let other comrades risk their lives in order to help them break through!
But the bandits were right before their eyes, and it was time to make a decision.
"We can't wait any longer! These bandits must want to seize our position before the paratroopers finish assembling! Pass my order, fire three rounds of grenades, then start the truck and rush down. As many as you can escape will be the best!"
Three rounds of grenades were thrown out, turning the area below the hill into a sea of fire, but the number of bandits was too large, and some of them were not afraid of death and continued to push forward.
Shanmaozi watched as half of his brothers fell down, and he seemed to hear the shouts of the independent column behind him. He threw his hat down.
"Damn it, throw grenades! Even if we can't get the goods, we can't let them get away!"
The bandits no longer cared about the supplies in the car and began throwing grenades onto the small hillside.
With a "bang", Monk Wei fell on the battlefield.
