He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

"kill"

As Chen Si ran, he continuously swung his nine-clawed hook, and several of the charging youths either lost their face or their scalps.

Leopard Qiang also clashed blades with the two men.

The saying goes, "An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous."

Due to his height disadvantage, Leopard Qiang was unable to withstand the two's relentless attacks.

"You little brat, you're still too green to be my boss."

Leopard gritted his teeth, gripped his knife with both hands, and opened his mouth to slash at the two men.

A good opportunity

Seeing that Leopard had opened an opening, one man stabbed directly at the heart, while the other stabbed at the heart in the back.

"what"

Leopard Qiang didn't dodge, cleaving the man in front of him in two with his blade. The man behind him, his dagger just piercing his back, was shot in the forehead by Le You and fell to the ground, defeated.

"Alright, let's stop playing. It'd be a shame if we all died playing like this."

"Execute all thirty-odd of them."

Leyou blew on the muzzle of his pistol and said to Pan Gui,

"Brother, wait, I want the gang rules to deal with them."

Leopard Qiang shouted hurriedly,

"Break their legs"

Following Le You's command, the surrounding soldiers simultaneously fired shots at the knees of the thirty-odd young men.

"bang bang bang"

"bang bang bang"

"what"

"Run quickly"

"Run quickly"

Those who didn't run had their calves smashed open, while those who tried to escape were riddled with bullets.

"Uncles, help them with the cuts and punctures, I'll do the work."

Leopard Qiang picked up the daggers of the two leading youths and walked over to the gang members who had been helped up and were still being pricked with needles. He then began to enforce the gang rules.

After an incense stick had burned, many of the nearby villagers and gang members were so frightened by the screams and curses that they began to bleed.

Looking at the lifeless rebel gang members on the ground, Leopard Qiang, his body radiating murderous intent, surveyed his surroundings and shouted:

"Anyone who opposes me becoming the leader can speak up now. After all, this is a democratic place, and everyone can speak their mind."

The group of white-fan-wielding, red-stick-wielding men looked at each other, but no one spoke.

The elders of the Heaven and Earth Society and the big boss of Leopard Strong shouted:

"From now on, Boss Leopard will be our leader. I will issue an announcement shortly to notify mainland guerrillas, volunteers, and others, including those overseas."

"We have seen the dragon's head."

Leopard Qiang nodded, grinned at Le You, and chuckled.

"The artillery company's infantry guns will fire twenty shots to congratulate my brother on becoming the head of the gang today."

Deliver two mortars, ten submachine guns, one rocket launcher, one hundred rifles, and two hundred hand grenades.

Another company of soldiers will be sent to serve as long-term instructors to protect the people. Luo Wudi will be promoted to company commander of the security company.

"Thank you, brother"

Leopard Qiang also bowed in gratitude.

Meanwhile, some scheming individuals with white fans and red sticks abandoned their petty plots.

Leyou nodded and walked towards the pile of rubble to the side.

"Fellow villagers, I am the commander of the Independent Regiment, my name is Leyou."

Here I want to tell you something: from this moment on, this land belongs to me, and from this moment on, it belongs to the Le family.

If you want to stay here as before, you'll all need to register your place of origin and population later.

Then they will arrange housing for you to live in permanently, but it will be taken back once you are gone.

I will also set up two dueling arenas here, where any conflicts or deep-seated feuds can be settled, but it must not affect others. I will also establish an adjudication team to investigate the matter thoroughly. If the perpetrator wins, their entire family will die; if the victim wins, only one person will be punished, and their family will not be involved.

Li Baoguo was appointed as the captain of the adjudication team.

If any outsiders are your relatives, they will be registered and detained for 7 days.

If not, please report it to the stationed soldiers if you find it, and you will be rewarded with one silver dollar.

If a stranger from out of town is extremely vicious, he should be shot on the spot.

"From now on, Zan Pangui will be the chief of Kowloon Village, and Bao Qiang will be the deputy chief, managing the village."

Ba Fugui and Mu Changshou's scout team and search team are merged into a special operations team, with Fugui as the head and Changshou as the deputy. All external combat operations will be handled by you.

Shui Silang and Gou Ping'an led half of the motorcycle company, artillery company, and engineer company, and the tank company formed a mobile unit, with Silang as the head and Ping'an as the deputy.

All soldiers who remained were compensated with a house and 50 silver dollars each. Future military expenses were to be covered by the village. Those who lost their lives or were wounded for the village were to be supported by the village, along with their descendants.

If anyone embezzles funds from construction projects, accepts bribes, or oppresses the people, and fails to follow my policies, I will not investigate. Once discovered, their entire family will be paraded through the streets and executed by firing squad. No matter how many people are implicated, even if half the village dies, they will still die.

From now on, each household can keep one handgun. Everyone can register to purchase them later. If anyone uses a gun to cause trouble, their ancestral home will be investigated, and their entire family will be exterminated. There are five bullets; if even one is missing, it must be reported.

After Sai Zhou, you'll be in charge of the village's logistics. Be careful; you'll take all the military supplies from the regiment, and figure out the rest yourself. You could also set up a factory to provide jobs for the villagers, but you can't withhold wages.

Now everyone goes to clear away the rubble; work will begin tomorrow.”

Watching the villagers leave one after another to move the broken stones and wood into the village, Leyou also came down and took a slow puff of the cigar that Pangui handed him.

The American manager in charge of the construction project also came over to say goodbye, and the two agreed on the work to be done the next day.

He turned around and found that Pan Gui and the other forty-two boys were kneeling on the ground.

He shouted with tears streaming down his face:

"Brother, didn't we agree before that we would follow you? We don't want to leave."

"dong dong dong"

Looking at the crowd kneeling on the ground in front of him, kowtowing repeatedly, Le You was filled with mixed emotions.

"I only made this arrangement because you are my younger brother."

Now that the war is over, I should have sent you back to take care of your elders, but I selfishly left you here. Don't blame me; this is my base, my headquarters, and I hope you will protect it well.”

"Brother, don't lie to us. More and more ships are coming to the dock now."

In addition, troops from outside are constantly coming to set up camp, and even General Zhang's troops are being mobilized.

"Aren't you listening to what I say anymore? If not, then get out of here!"

"Big brother..."

"Don't call me. If you still recognize me, then protect this place."

"Yes, brother, we will definitely guard it well,"

Leyou nodded and looked at Baoqiang, saying:

"I don't blame you for not going back. You've grown up now."

I remember you were loyal and righteous, protecting the country. I hope that in the future you will love your brothers more than gold, cherish the people, and protect the land.

Leyou patted Baoqiang on the shoulder, then looked at the boys still kneeling on the ground.

Shout it out loud:

"Except for the soldiers who remain, everyone assemble and return to the base."

She turned her back to the crowd and shed a few tears.

After the soldiers had assembled, Leyou took one last, wistful look at the ruins of Kowloon Walled City.

Chao Baoqiang and the others waved goodbye, started their motorcycles, and drove towards the base.

Chen Si quickly climbed onto the tank, while Jiang Xiaomei directed the remaining tanks of the Lu Wang to return.

The assembled soldiers also hurriedly followed.

As Leyou's figure faded into the distance, Pan Gui and the others continued to cry out for their elder brother.

Who knows when we'll meet again after this parting? Perhaps I'll never return.

……

"Reporting, Leyou is here to report."

"Enter"

General Zhang, noticing Leyou's poor spirits, asked with concern:

"What's wrong,"

Leyou shook his head and said:

"General, I've made all the arrangements. We're about to depart for the mission."

"Okay, go ahead. I don't know what the mission is, but I hope you return to Rongcheng immediately after you finish it and don't linger outside."

"Yes, General"

As Le You walked out of the office, she looked at Chen Si, who was following closely beside her, and said softly:

"Xiao Si, although we're about the same age, I feel we have something in common."

"I have a mission for you. Go and complete it. From now on, you will be the battalion commander of our regiment's special operations battalion."

Chen Si stared intently at Le You and said:

"Brother, you can just make the arrangements. I received a letter from my master's wife; she has recovered under your master's care. Otherwise, even with that immortal herb, she wouldn't have survived."

"Really? Good thing you've recovered."

You take your people to a place.

Leyou took a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Chen Si.

"Go to the address above to pick them up. If they aren't escorted by other troops, kill them all."

If there is an army escorting you, don't show yourselves; secretly kill them all.

Chen Si took the telegram, memorized the address and the code, then burned it. He said to Le You:

"Brother, even if I die, I will complete this mission."

"Alright, go now. If you need horses, go to the cavalry company; if you need motorcycles, go to Xiaomei."

Oh, and just let Chen Yulou and Zhang Qishan know they can meet up.

"It's the eldest brother."

Leyou watched Chen Si's disappearing figure and slowly walked towards the sea.
