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

092 Captured the Bandit Leader

"Uh..." Wang Wei blushed. "Oh, I'm here now. It's not easy to follow the Japanese these days. Don't worry, when the time comes, the two of us brothers will work together and we'll definitely cripple the Japanese completely... Hehe..." Wang Wei said with a simple and honest smile.

Shangguan Yun smiled slightly, "Try to bring the team out to practice more often when you have free time. Listen, this back mountain is quite lively." Everyone nodded.

柱子大笑道“你们猜武如海能坚持多久不被抓到．．．我这里开一个局，大家下注啊，2小时的1赔1，3小时1赔2,4小时1赔3．．．”柱子掰着手指数到。

"I bet you'll end up losing money at your grandma's house in no time..."

Wang Wei laughed, and everyone burst into laughter. By this time, Wang Wei's team members had already started eating their hot meals.

Each person was allotted 5-6 steamed buns and 2 jin of meat, with plenty of hot meat soup. Several cooks were busy preparing the meal, and everyone was eating heartily. All of this was arranged in advance by Shangguan Yun, as these people were considered meritorious contributors and Shangguan Yun would not treat them unfairly.

Everyone ate with great gusto, sweating profusely and with tears streaming down their faces. They didn't care about their image at all, grabbing two steamed buns in their left hand, holding a bowl of soup in their right, and munching on meat in their mouths. They were truly wolfing down their food!

After finishing their meal, everyone was beaming with health, lit up their pipes, and sat together to rest and chat.

Wang Wei led two men to Shangguan Yun's side and said, "Brother Shangguan, these two brothers are called Mountain Cat and Cat Head. They are my trusted confidants and played a significant role in this operation. They are absolutely reliable."

I'm going back to Wulongkou this time, so I'll leave these two brothers with you and this group of brothers. It'll also make it easier for you to contact me. You can have them be the liaisons. That kid Shanmao is very clever, hehe...

"Hmm, not bad. I chatted with him a bit before. That's settled then. There are forty-odd brothers here. I'll take 30 with me, and you can take the rest back."

It wouldn't be right for a commander to go back all alone. Those dozen or so brothers who went undercover with you will make your operations easier. Their contributions will all be recorded in the military merit book, and they will all be rewarded when they return. Hehe..." Everyone was invigorated upon hearing this.

By this time, the battle on the back mountain was basically over, and the various companies returned one after another. Regardless of whether they had gained anything or not, everyone was all smiles. They had finally had a good time and fully experienced the feeling of battle.

After lunch, the last group of people finally returned, led by Chen Jinshan. What made Shangguan Yun even happier was that he had actually captured Wu Ruhai, which greatly boosted everyone's spirits.

Shangguan Yun initially thought of just shooting him, but after thinking it over, he decided to take him back first. This person definitely had to be killed, but how to kill him was left to the villagers of Songjia Village.

At this moment, Wu Ruhai was in a very sorry state. His mink hat had been knocked off, his leather boots had been stolen, his cloak had been confiscated, his clothes were tattered, his face was covered in blood, and his eye sockets were black. It seemed that he had been beaten quite a bit.

However, he still stubbornly retorted, "Hmph... Shangguan Yun, Chen Jinshan, if you have the guts, shoot me! Twenty years from now, I'll be a hero again, hahaha..."

"Shut up, you idiot..."

Li Xia kicked him, and several people nearby punched him. Wu Ruhai could only groan and roll his eyes...

"Take him back and deal with him..." Shangguan Yun didn't even glance at him, turning around and shouting.

The crowd quickly subdued him. Shangguan Yun then ordered everyone to take turns eating, leaving a platoon of soldiers to guard the mountain stronghold. Although the area was desolate, the stronghold buildings were still intact, but there was no food or water.

If there were sufficient food supplies, plenty of firewood, and ready-made shelters, and a platoon of men were stationed here, this place would be a complete strategic stronghold.

Shangguan Yun ordered some supplies to be left behind and the battlefield to be cleaned up. He then commanded the guerrillas to advance their sentry posts directly to the Heilonghu area west of Zhangjiawan. There were two villages there, Dawanzi and Xiaowanzi, with a population of several hundred people, which were now within Songjiazhai's sphere of influence.

Shangguan Yun ordered his men to set up sentry posts on the upper reaches of the Jiao River to monitor the situation in Nanfen.

To date, only the remnants of the Daheishan army and the Japanese forces around Wulongkou remain in the entire Wulongling area, which has basically been controlled by Songjiazhai.

This was also one of the purposes of Shangguan Yun's operation: to expand his strategic maneuvering space as much as possible in preparation for future major battles.

After a whole day of running around, all the teams finally returned to the mountain village in the evening.

After taking stock of the battle damage, there were basically no casualties; the few with minor injuries could be treated directly in the medical room.

That evening, Shangguan Yun gave all the soldiers an extra meal, awarded them a collective third-class merit, and hosted a banquet for all the commanders and soldiers.

Many generals who were stationed at the mountain stronghold and unable to participate in the battle also attended the meeting. However, they did not have any objections. Many of them, such as Xu Wengang, Zhao Peng, Min Wenqian, Gong Jun, Qiao Lei, Shen Wuzhou, Zhang Zhenfei, Liu Yong, etc., were unable to participate in the battle. However, this was mainly to train newcomers, so they quickly let it go.

However, after hearing about today's excitement, everyone was a little envious. It was so cool! Next time there's a job like this, they'll probably be scrambling to take it.

The banquet went very well. With Shangguan Yun, this superman, the mountain stronghold basically had everything it needed.

This easy gain of over a hundred merit points allowed Shangguan Yun to break through and advance a level, which made him very happy. He'd have to check later to see what good stuff had arrived...

At the banquet, everyone talked and drank, and Shangguan Yun gave everyone the task indicators for the future: to pay close attention to the movements of various forces around them, to gather as many refugees as possible, to train new soldiers, to strengthen the layout of fortifications, to make reasonable use of the surrounding terrain, and to do a good job in defense.

In recent days, dozens or even hundreds of refugees have come to seek refuge every day, and Songjiazhai has begun its transformation, no longer the small village it once was.

The capture of Wu Ruhai today has brought great joy to the villagers, who are all wondering what the most satisfying way to kill him would be. Shangguan Yun has announced that a public trial will be held tomorrow morning at the training ground to decide Wu Ruhai's fate...

Today was a very busy day for Aunt Zhang and her team in the kitchen. Although they belonged to the command headquarters' cooking team, the fact that they had to feed dozens of people every few days put a lot of pressure on them.

So Shangguan Yun ordered the guards to help clean up the mess and see everyone off, so that Shangguan Yun could finally get some rest.
