Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

377 Two Tigers Climb the Mountain

On the western slope of Longnan Mountain, on the eastern bank of the Xiaoliao River, as dusk fell, a young man, six feet tall and as thin as a bamboo pole, carefully made his way across the frozen river.

Soon after, a whistle blew, and then more than twenty people dressed in peasant clothes peeked out from the bushes on the opposite bank. One by one, at intervals of one minute, they stepped lightly from the west bank to the east bank.

These people look like farmers, but upon closer inspection, none of them are farmers at all. In fact, they are all lackeys of the Japanese, traitors of the Tiger Killing Special Forces. This time, they are led by someone familiar with Longnan Mountain and are here to cause trouble.

These people were all carrying weapons, exuding a murderous aura, with fierce glints in their eyes, and they all looked like they had a grudge against the people of Longnan Mountain.

The group whispered among themselves for a while, then the twenty-odd people split into several groups and disappeared menacingly into the woods on the east bank.

The King of Destruction begins his all-night operation!

However, they had clearly miscalculated. The Longnan Mountain of today was no longer the Longnan Mountain they knew. They had unknowingly plunged into a den of wolves and tigers.

What awaited them were endless traps and ruthless guerrillas; their chances of surviving were extremely slim.

The next morning, the Tiger Guard Army instructors, who were on patrol, found a total of twenty people frozen stiff in the snow. They had all been caught in traps and frozen to death.

However, judging from the footprints, several people should have crossed the dense forest blockade and entered the heart of Longnan Mountain. The patrolling soldiers immediately reported to the command post and followed the footprints.

"I hate Shangguan Yun, I hate the Tiger Guard Army! There isn't a single villager left here, I don't even recognize the roads, and there are so many traps and mechanisms... Is this really Longnan Mountain after all...?"

Song Erhu limped along the ground in the Nandian area, his heart pounding with anxiety. His two surviving men were also in a sorry state, their clothes torn and tattered.

Both of his men were slightly injured. Song Erhu was quick-witted and led the two men through many twists and turns to this area. However, the familiar villages were gone; the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and they couldn't recognize any of the places.

Just when the group was feeling conflicted and frustrated, unsure of what to do next, things took a turn for the better.

"The king summoned me to patrol the mountain, so I'll take a look around the world. I'll beat my drum to death, bang my gong to death, and life will be full of rhythm..."

A loud children's voice rang out, and seven or eight children walked happily from the path to the south, each carrying a weapon in their hands.

Some had wooden sticks, some had slingshots, some had bows and arrows, some had ropes, and of course, there was one that banged a broken gong.

"Hey, look over there... a rabbit... a wild rabbit! Ladies, hurry and catch it! Charge!"

The little ones shouted and rushed toward the hiding place of Song Erhu and his group.

"Hey... my chance has come..."

Song Erhu winked at his two companions, who immediately understood and moved to the left, forming a triangular formation with the three of them, waiting for the children to rush in.

"Oh no...where's the rabbit? It's vanished..."

Song Xiaobao looked around and muttered something in confusion.

"Don't move... Stop! You're surrounded... Huh? Put down your weapons..."

The children were taken aback, thinking to themselves that they had never heard of bandits in this area, and that they had run into robbers while catching rabbits so early in the morning.

The children were scared, and there were no adults with them. They only dared to come out to play because they were familiar with the area. This time, they were in trouble.

However, Song Xiaobao was still the clever and mischievous one. Everyone was stunned, but he was not frightened. He rolled his eyes and waved his hand.

"Wait a minute, which gang of you is robbing people here...?"

The three were taken aback. What was going on? Did they want to settle things? This was no big deal for them. They were all from the underworld; they weren't afraid of a few kids.

A limping henchman stepped forward, puffed out his chest, pointed at Song Erhu with his cheek, and shouted:

"Hey! Kid, you haven't even asked around. Our Second Master is the big boss around here. He's giving us a free pass, so you guys should say hello..."

Song Xiaobao was stunned when he heard this. He understood the slang of the underworld. How could a bandit family not understand it? He heard that it was his own family, but he didn't recognize it. He asked again.

“Oh, you’re from the same clan. You’re also from the same clan, and your nickname is Bao’er Ye. These are my two brothers, from the same clan. He’s my buddy. What’s wrong with you? You’ve become a gangster. I bet you’re here to work for a brothel… Haha…” Song Xiaobao shook his head and laughed disdainfully, pretending to be an adult.

"Wow... Second Master, this is a tricky one... You know the ropes..." The subordinate was clearly a bit stunned, taken aback by Song Xiaobao.

"Hey hey... Alright, alright, what the hell is this time? Stop trying to find someone's pulse, just rob them..." Song Erhu said impatiently.

Turning his head, Song Erhu glared at Xiao Bao and the others. "Hey, guys, we're all empty-handed. Got anything to chew on? Give us something to eat... Hurry up..."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. It turned out that these guys were so hungry that they were robbing people just to get some food.

However, he didn't see that while Song Erhu was speaking, his two men had already reached down to their lower backs and grabbed the gun handles.
