Anti-Japanese War: I am the warlord of Ping'an County! The whole army is German!

After the battle.

After a thorough search of the Tiger Hall, we confirmed that it was safe.

Zhou Weimin, Xu Hu, Wang Dali, First Company Commander Li Zheng and other talents slowly walked into the Tiger Hall.

Seeing the dozens of tables in the Tiger Hall filled with food and wine, Zhou Weimin smiled and said, "These bandits are eating pretty well!"

"Commander, it seems these bandits from Black Cloud Village were drinking and eating meat, perhaps holding some kind of celebration banquet!"

"Otherwise, bandits wouldn't normally feast like this."

Wang Dali also saw the food and wine on the dozens of tables, and said after hearing Zhou Weimin's words.

"Maybe!" Zhou Weimin nodded, and then continued, "Hasn't the leader of Black Cloud Village been found yet?"

"Commander, not yet." Wang Dali said with his head down.

"What about the casualties? Have they been counted?" Zhou Weimin continued.

"The regimental commander has compiled the casualty statistics. This time, we have eight soldiers killed and 8 injured. However, none of them are seriously injured, only minor ones."

"189 Black Cloud Village bandits were killed and 210 captured."

"Based on the interrogation of the captives who surrendered and the dozen or so bandits captured initially, there are a total of 433 bandits in Black Cloud Village."

"There are currently 34 people missing."

Wang Dali took over the casualty report from the company commander Li Zheng and reported to Zhou Weimin.

"34 people missing?"

"Did these people escape? Or were they blown up? Or are they hiding?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weimin suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Wang Dali and the first company commander Li Zheng and asked.

Heiyun Village will be the base of the Tiger Guards in the future, so we must find out how these missing people disappeared.

Otherwise it will be a trouble in the future.

"Commander, these people can't escape. The entrance to Black Cloud Village is the only way in and out of Black Cloud Village."

"We have now taken control of the entrance to Black Cloud Village. These bandits can't escape."

"We didn't use heavy artillery this time, so it was difficult to kill them."

"We have also carefully checked the shell craters and have basically confirmed the bodies that were killed by our grenades and shells."

"As for hiding, that's unlikely, because we've already checked every place in Black Cloud Village several times."

"It's unlikely these people will escape our inspection."

Upon hearing this, Company Commander Li Zheng quickly responded and analyzed to Zhou Weimin.

"They didn't escape, they didn't blow up, and we searched them thoroughly several times. So where did these people go?"

"Don't tell me these people took a plane and flew away!"

Zhou Weimin said to Wang Dali, the first company commander Li Zheng, and other officers with some anger.

"Commander, is there any secret passage in Black Cloud Village? After all, bandits usually have many burrows."

"Besides, Xie Baoqing, the head of Black Cloud Village, has not been found yet."

Wang Dali also felt that this was unacceptable, so he thought about it and said.

"Ask the prisoners. If you don't get an answer, continue searching until you find these 34 bandits."

Wang Dali's guess is possible, but no matter what, the matter must be made clear.

"Yes!"

Company Commander Li Zheng saluted.

Half an hour later.

First Company Commander Li Zhengyou came up to Zhou Weimin and reported, "Commander, Captain Wang guessed correctly. There's a cave leading outside this Black Cloud Village."

"Not many people know about this passage. It was only a bandit captive who heard about it from Xie Baoqing's confidant after he got drunk."

"Also, according to the prisoners' answers, Xie Baoqing escaped with 31 of his confidants right after we attacked the main peak of Black Cloud Village."

"Including Xie Baoqing, the leader of the Black Cloud Village, there are 32 people in total. The other two bandits have also been found."

"They are two half-grown boys. They have always been with the eldest daughter of the Qiao family."

"These two bandits are being protected by the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. It is said that these two half-grown boys have received favors from the Qiao family in the past."

"After learning that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family had been kidnapped, we prepared to rescue her, but before we could start the rescue, we began to attack the Black Cloud Village."

Zhou Weimin thought for a while after hearing this. He was mainly thinking about the secret passage.

As for the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, Zhou Weimin didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Did the interrogation reveal the location of that secret cave?"

"If the location of the secret cave is revealed through interrogation, the bandit will be shot dead."

Upon hearing this, the company commander immediately replied, "Captain, the location of the secret cave has been discovered through interrogation."

"I have already killed the bandit who knew the location of the secret cave."

Zhou Weimin smiled slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that the company commander had the same idea as him.

"Let's go see where this secret cave leads to. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

Ten minutes later.

Zhou Weimin, Wang Dali, Xu Hu, the company commander, and a platoon of guard company soldiers appeared on the hill behind Tiger Hall.

Seeing that the branches covering the entrance to the secret cave had been removed, Zhou Weimin saw that the cave was two meters wide and three meters high, so he said, "It's really well hidden!"

"Xu Hu, get a few people in to take a look."

"Yes!" Xu Hu saluted.

He selected six skilled warriors and entered the cave with him.

A secret cave for escape.

Xu Hu didn't think there was any great danger.

A full half hour later.

Xu Hu returned with six warriors.

"Commander, this cave does lead to the outside of Black Cloud Village, and there is no danger in the cave at the moment."

Xu Hu had observed carefully in the cave, so as soon as he came out of the cave, he walked up to Zhou Weimin and reported.

"Where is the exit?" Zhou Weimin nodded and asked.

"Commander, the exit of this cave is in the woods below the hilltop to the left of the Black Cloud Village entrance."

"The cave is extremely spacious, and the exit is about the same size as the entrance."

"The air circulation in the cave is good, and there are some ventilation holes on the top of the cave. The cave does not look like it was dug by humans."

Xu Hu didn't wait for Zhou Weimin to ask any more questions, but told Zhou Weimin all his observations and guesses.

"Xu Hu, come with me and take a look."

After hearing this, Zhou Weimin thought about it carefully, and then prepared to go in and take a look himself, because at this moment he had a great idea about this cave.

About an hour later.

Zhou Weimin, Wang Dali, Xu Hu, and a squad of guard company soldiers walked out of the cave.

At this moment, Zhou Weimin's face was full of satisfaction.

"Xu Hu, arrange for a squad of guards to be stationed here temporarily. I have a great use for this cave."

"As for the situation in this cave, keep it secret for now."

As soon as Zhou Weimin walked out of the cave, he gave orders to Xu Hu behind him.
