Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Chapter 65: Warm and Hospitable Wangshan Village

Hutou Mountain is the name of a mountain hundreds of miles long. It is called this name because there are many tigers in the mountain.

The tigers in the mountains often came down the mountain to harm people, so the villagers organized hunters to go up the mountain to hunt tigers. The tigers in Hutou Mountain were almost extinct. Unfortunately, in addition to the harm caused by tigers, human harm came again, and Hutou Mountain became a gathering place for bandits.

The rugged terrain of Hutou Mountain breeds bandits. Many mountain trails can be defended by 10 people, and even if the Liang Dynasty had a million troops, they could not break in.

When this group of bandits was at its most powerful, there were thousands of them. They went down the mountains everywhere to plunder. The most outrageous incident was when they attacked a county town and looted it completely.

The Qing court was furious when they heard the news and sent a large army to encircle and suppress the rebellion, but the terrain in the mountains was rugged and the army could not make any progress.

After several years of fighting without much success and the army suffering from excessive losses, they changed their strategy and set up a military fort at the main exit at the foot of the mountain, stationed soldiers inside. Their only job was to keep an eye on the bandits in the mountains and prevent them from coming down the mountain to rob, and then they could do whatever they wanted.

After the military fort was built, imperial officials and soldiers were stationed inside day and night, eagerly watching the situation in the mountains. Over time, this area came to be called Wangshantun.

Li Xiao did not dare to stop after running out of Fengtian City. He knew that after the September 18th Incident, the Japanese would send troops to all over the three northeastern provinces. They had to find a safe place to stay, otherwise they would be doomed if they ran into the Japanese troops.

Li Xiao asked his subordinates from the Hong Quan Hall.

"Everyone, we need to find a good place to stay now. Does anyone have any recommendations?"

The sturdy man with long fist who had fought with Li Xiao walked out of the line.

"Elder Li, I know a good place that is most suitable for the development of a vibrant community like ours. It is the so-called Hutou Mountain, which is blessed with outstanding people and a beautiful place, and the warm and hospitable Wangshan Village. We can definitely grow bigger and stronger here and create greater glory!"

So Li Xiao waved his hand, and the group ran west of Fengtian for 10 days and arrived at Wangshantun. On the same day they felt the warm hospitality of the people of Wangshantun.

Due to the continuous rush, everyone felt very tired. After arriving at Wangshantun, they went straight to a hotel to have a big banquet.

However, Li Xiao and his 100 clones did not let their guard down. After the food was served, everyone was drooling, but they still remembered the rules and held up a glass of wine, waiting for Li Xiao to speak.

Li Xiao picked up a glass of wine, toasted everyone, took a sip, but did not swallow it. He let the wine swirl in his mouth and then spit it out.

"The damn wine is poisonous!!"

He overturned the dining table and held two M1911 pistols in his hands. The others were shocked and started looking for weapons.

As soon as they overturned the table, dozens of big men with machetes rushed out of the building. However, as soon as these big men appeared, Li Xiao started firing with both guns. With 14 shots, all 14 big men were killed.

After Li Xiao took off his weapons, the remaining people prepared their weapons and started shooting, especially the clones that Li Xiao brought with him, each of whom had two M1911s.

The crowd killed all the living people they saw in the black shop and set it on fire. They rushed into the street and were warmly received by the people of Wangshantun.

Wangshantun was originally a military-protected area, and the roads were extremely narrow. Li Xiao and his gang had a den of people, and the rooftops on both sides and the end of the street were full of people!

They shouted and used the same methods they used to intimidate animals to intimidate Li Xiao and others. They also had bows and arrows and spears, and some of them held muskets and bolt-action rifles.

The man with the bolt-action rifle shot down the younger brother next to Li Xiao with one shot. The younger brother twisted on the ground a few times and died.

Li Xiao was immediately furious. He picked up his Thompson submachine gun and started shooting. A barrage of bullets shot into the crowd that was surrounding them in front, killing a large number of them.

Li Xiao took the lead and rushed forward. The others followed behind him and fired at full force. Some of their clones even threw grenades as they ran.

No one knew what the people of Wangshantun had done before. Hundreds of them were killed by their firepower, but they still kept surrounding them. They attacked them with various bows and arrows, spears, and homemade muskets. There were even children standing on the roof and throwing bricks at them.

Li Xiao was also unlucky. He rushed to the front and bore the most firepower in order to protect the people from the Hung Gar Hall next to him. He was hit by two arrows and was hit by a tube of iron sand. His suit was torn to pieces. Fortunately, these injuries were not fatal.

Li Xiao felt that this group of people were too united. If he didn't kill them, he and his companions would really be eaten. They didn't have many bullets and couldn't hold on for long. Did he have to ask the main body to open a portal to support them?

He was just thinking of a solution when suddenly a child threw a brick from the roof. The brick spun and hit Li Xiao on the head, breaking into two pieces.

Li Xiao was stunned, and blood gushed out of his head instantly. Then he became furious, threw away the empty Thompson submachine gun, pulled out the axe from his waist, and rushed directly towards the crowd that was surrounding them in the distance.

He was like an angry lion. He was 1 meters tall with long arms and legs. He rushed into the crowd with an axe and chopped left and right, killing seven or eight people in one go.

Li Xiao's sudden runaway scared the Wangshantun bandits and also rekindled hope for the Hong Quan Hall members. They abandoned their weapons that had run out of bullets, drew the axes from their waists, and rushed forward to hack at the bandits.

The people in Wangshantun thought that entering the knife-fighting room was their advantage, but they never expected that these outsiders became even more powerful after giving up their guns. They were like the Devourers, chopping people to death with axes.

They thought they could defeat this group of outsiders by relying on their numbers, but they didn't realize that those 100 expressionless guys in suits were so fierce that one of them could chop down three of them with a short axe!

Especially the white-haired old man who was rushing in the front, his short axe left an afterimage, and anyone who was chopped by him would have his hands and feet broken.

Now they were scared. There were more than 800 men in Wangshantun, but they were hacked to death with axes by more than 200 people and forced to kneel down and beg for mercy!

Li Xiao was covered in blood, and his suit had long been torn to shreds. He was shirtless, revealing his full muscles. He came in front of a fat man who claimed to be the manager of Wangshantun.

He simply grabbed the fat man's neck and lifted up the man, who weighed an estimated 100 kilograms, with one hand.

"Damn it, who gave you the guts to slander me!"

Li Xiao was covered in wounds, but it was nothing serious. He was just angry, very fucking angry!

The fat guy was so scared that he peed his pants when Li Xiao pinched his hand. He should be grateful for his thick layer of fat, because even when Li Xiao pinched his neck, the thick fat allowed him to still speak.

"Blind Bear! It was Blind Bear who asked us to open a black shop here..."

The fat man revealed everything. It turned out that Wangshantun was controlled by bandits during the war between warlords. The bandits here became bigger and stronger, and at their peak there were more than 3000 able-bodied men.

However, as the Zhang family grew stronger, some of the bandits ran to join the Zhang family. The rest who were unwilling to go were divided into several small forces and occupied several hills in Hutou Mountain. Among them, Xiazi Xiong was the largest group of bandits because he controlled the military fortress of Wangshantun.

The blind bear's camp in the mountains and Wangshantun cooperated with each other and killed many passing merchants.

After finding out the situation clearly, Li Xiao, without telling the people from the Hong Quan Hall, asked Li Qinwu to open a portal to replenish weapons and ammunition, and then went straight into the mountains and killed their way into the bandits' nest.

The terrain of Hutou Mountain is indeed rugged, and some mountain roads are only wide enough for two people to pass side by side. The big bandit Xiong Xiazi set up many defense lines in dangerous locations and sent dozens of bandits with spears and muskets to turn these locations into death zones.

In this situation, even if the enemy sent a million troops, they would not be able to break through. However, this time it was Li Xiao who came to break through their defense line!

Li Xiao held an axe in his left hand and an M1911 pistol in his right hand, and rushed forward regardless of everything. These bandits were just ordinary people and could not resist Li Xiao, who was like a tiger.

Li Xiao directly broke through three outposts and rushed into the bandit's nest deep in the mountains like lightning.

The bandit's lair of Blind Bear was in a valley, with rugged mountains on both sides that were inaccessible. They blocked the front and back of the valley and built simple houses in between, and the bandit camp was ready.

There are more than 500 old bandits in the village. They eat, drink and have fun here all day long. When they feel like it, they will go down the mountain to rob.

Li Xiao suddenly led his men into the camp. This group of bandits never thought that the enemy could break in. They were caught off guard. In front of Li Xiao and his 100 clones, the bandits were like chickens and dogs. What followed was boring chopping, chopping, chopping, chopping, chopping!

The big bandit Xiong Xiazi was hacked to death in his bed without even knowing what was happening. In less than a day, the largest group of bandits in Hutou Mountain was wiped out.

Next, Li Xiao made a concerted effort and, with the blind bear's camp as the center, he attacked the surrounding hilltops.

The other bandits were much easier to fight than Zuoshanhu. The number of these bandits was less than 100, and they didn't even have a complete wall. They could only be considered camps. Li Xiao led his men to kill them indiscriminately, and they could destroy a small bandit camp in less than half a day.

It took Li Xiao more than 10 days to destroy 3 large villages and 7 small villages. During these days, he was either killing people or on his way to kill people. Under his crazy offensive, the remaining bandits in Hutou Mountain panicked and sent envoys to respect him, Li Xiao, as their leader.

However, Li Xiao did not intend to negotiate with these bandits because he found that these bandits were not the type who were forced to go to the mountains because they could not survive. They were strong men who went to the mountains for pleasure and to kill and burn people.

Li Xiao rescued a large number of women from the broken camp. The situation was extremely bad. I will not go into details about the specific situation. In short, he did not intend to let the bandits in the mountains survive.

Li Xiao captured all the messengers sent by the bandits and made them kneel in a row in the open space of the bandit's lair.

He walked up to one of the messengers with a pistol in his hand, pointed the pistol at his head and asked, "Will you surrender?"

The messenger obviously didn't understand the situation. He shouted frantically: "I am the second in command of Yingzui Mountain! I am an envoy! You can't do this to me! Otherwise, the big boss will definitely..."

boom!

Gunshots rang out, and the second in command of Yingzui Mountain had a bullet hole on his head, and a fist-sized cut on the back of his head, with brain matter and blood pouring out.

The other messengers from the other hilltops were so frightened when they saw this that they almost peed their pants, and cold sweats broke out on them.

Li Xiao walked up to the second man and pointed the gun at his forehead.

"Will you lower it or not?"

The man muttered a few words to himself but couldn't utter a coherent sentence. He was obviously frightened. Li Xiao didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and simply pulled the trigger, blowing his brains out.

He came to the third person, who cursed him directly: "You killed the messenger! You are so immoral! You will not have a good death! You..."

boom!

He came to the fourth messenger, who thought Li Xiao was a madman and quickly shouted, "Surrender! I surrender! When I return, I will ask the leader to surrender the entire village!"

Li Xiao smiled and tapped his head a few times with the muzzle of the gun.

"You're not going to lie to me, are you? I hate it most in my life when someone lies to me."

The guy quickly shook his head.

"No, absolutely not! I will persuade the boss to surrender when I return."

Li Xiao smiled, revealing a meaningful expression.

"I hope so!"

Then all the messengers said they would surrender and save their lives, so Li Xiao let them all go and let them return to their own hills.

After dealing with the envoy, Li Xiao came to the Juyi Hall and sat on the tiger chair belonging to the boss.

There was no one else in the Juyi Hall at this time. A portal opened beside him and Li Qinwu walked out.

He was holding two bottles of Coke in his hands. He opened one himself and placed the other in front of Li Xiao.

Li Xiao picked up the Coke and was a little surprised.

"icy?"

Li Qinwu nodded: "Li Xin has already arrived in Shanghai, and several brothers boarded a cargo ship to the United States. This Coke was made on the cargo ship. When the time comes, we will also have Coke and refrigerators."

The two of them clinked their Coke glasses and drank half a bottle in one gulp.

Li Qinwu sat in the second-in-command's seat, crossed his legs and asked, "Why did you let those bandits go? They won't surrender. If you force them so hard, they will only unite to encircle and suppress you."
