Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"..."

Xie Baoqing looked at Bobcat who was still trying to take credit, and couldn't help but point his finger at him. He wanted to scold him, but he held back. After all, Bobcat was working for him, and this time he had reaped huge rewards.

Master Tang immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, the New 1st Regiment is not easy to mess with. They robbed them and left them alive. I'm afraid they will cause trouble for us soon."

As soon as these words came out, Shanmao immediately said with disdain: "A bunch of Eighth Route Army soldiers, they can set up ambushes, but if they want to cause trouble for our Black Cloud Village, I will make sure they never return."

The words of the mountain cat were immediately echoed by the other bandits.

"Second brother is right. Fighting is useless these days. We have seen all kinds of people coming out of Black Cloud Village. We have also fought against the Japs, but we have never seen them do anything to us."

"Yes, we'll kill as many as come!"

"Drink, drink!"

"Don't worry, big brother. If the Eighth Route Army dares to come, I, Lao Wu, will be the first to go!"

"Fifth brother is brave!"

Xie Baoqing drank a glass of wine and looked at the worried Master Tang and said, "Master Tang, now that we've done it, there's no need to hesitate. We'll deal with it as it comes. I, Xie Baoqing, am not a pushover who can be manipulated by anyone."

The reason why Xie Baoqing was so confident was because of the special geographical location of Heiyun Village. Heiyun Village was located halfway up the Heiyun Mountain. The location of the village was extremely hidden and the Eighth Route Army might not be able to find it.

Even if it could be found, there was only a narrow path leading up the mountain, and it was blocked by a huge rock. Only one machine gun and one person were needed to guard the way up the mountain.

Moreover, Xie Baoqing also prepared a retreat for himself. In case the Black Cloud Village was really breached, he had a secret escape passage behind the village. He could go down the cliff to the bottom of the mountain, take a hidden boat, and take the money he had accumulated over the years to travel directly to the Fen River by water.

After reaching the Fen River, they can go wherever they want. Can the Eighth Route Army still chase them to the Magic City? Chase them to Lingnan?

After hearing this, Master Tang did not say anything else, but bowed and walked back.

"Come, let's drink. The Second in Command has done a great deed today. Let's toast to him together!"

"Okay! Second brother, I did it!"

"The Second in Command is so powerful!"

"..."

The drinking lasted from the afternoon to midnight, from the Juyi Hall to the mountain stronghold. Except for the bandits on guard, everyone was drunk. However, there was only one surprise, and that was Master Tang.

After taking a look at the people in Heiyun Village who were drunk and staggering, Master Tang returned to his room, packed up his belongings and prepared to run away.

Master Tang knew very well that even if Shanmao had not robbed the New 1st Regiment but other units of the Eighth Route Army, and had lost a hundred bottles of morphine and ten thousand rounds of bullets, no unit of the Eighth Route Army would let go of Heiyun Village.

In the past, when Heiyun Village robbed the people, the people had no way to resist. When they robbed the Japanese puppet army, they attacked a small group of people and left no one alive. No one knew it was them who did it. The same was true when they robbed the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Moreover, the things they robbed were all worthless things, at most some food and weapons.

But this time it's different. These are 100 doses of morphine and 10,000 bullets, and the person was left alive and escaped. It is estimated that the Eighth Route Army will surround the mountain tomorrow. These brainless idiots don't want to run away, and they are actually in the mood to drink.

"Master Tang, what are you doing?"

"The Big Boss asked me to deal with the things the Second Boss brought today!"

After he finished speaking, he patted his backpack. Upon hearing this, the bandit on guard immediately said with a flattering smile: "Be careful when it gets dark. Do you want the brothers to follow you?"

"No, you guys should be alert and patrol. The boss and the others have drunk a little too much, so you should be alert!"

"Master, don't worry, I'm watching closely!"

After leaving the sentry post, Master Tang breathed a long sigh of relief and walked down the rugged mountain road step by step. When he finally got out of the range of Heiyun Village, Master Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

After looking in a direction, Master Tang picked up his bag and prepared to go to Taiyuan, and then take the train to leave Jin. He had made a lot of money following the Black Cloud Village in the past two years. He heard that if he went south to Kangba, he could buy the position of county magistrate with money, so Master Tang decided to give it a try.

After walking for about ten minutes, Master Tang suddenly heard a noise behind him. He immediately reached for the pistol at his waist, but felt a hard object pressing against his back.

"do not move!"

A voice suddenly sounded, and Master Tang couldn't help but feel nervous. He was a bandit and was robbed?

"My dear friends, I am a passing merchant. Please spare my life..."

"Stop talking nonsense, turn around and put your hands up!"

Master Tang was held at gunpoint and dared not move. He could only raise his hands high so that the people behind him could see that he was not moving, lest he be accidentally shot.

However, when Master Tang turned his head, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. With the help of moonlight, Master Tang saw that there were many big men standing behind him.

Chapter 61 Master Tang surprises Li Yunlong

A gun was pointed at Master Tang's belly button, and more than a dozen other guns were aimed at Master Tang. Behind him, there was a group of people staring at him with murderous eyes, at least hundreds of people.

Master Tang sat down on the ground. When did this group of people appear? Why didn't he see them when he passed by just now?

With the help of moonlight, Master Tang finally saw the military uniforms of the people behind him clearly: the Eighth Route Army.

"Gulu!"

Master Tang immediately waved his hands frantically and said, "My fellow soldiers, heroes of the Eighth Route Army, the things were taken by the second-in-command of Black Cloud Village, Shan Mao, and his men. It has nothing to do with me. I have nothing to do with Black Cloud Village anymore!"

Li Yunlong came out and looked at Master Tang who was sitting on the ground. "Are you from Black Cloud Village?"

"No, not anymore. It's because the mountain cats stole your things that I broke off relations with them. Now they go their way, and I go mine!"

Li Yunlong looked at Master Tang, who had told him everything without him even asking. He took a quick step forward and pulled Master Tang up from the ground. "What's your name if you haven't asked me to?"

"My last name is Tang, you can just call me Little Tang."

"What is your position in Black Cloud Village?"

"It was a white paper fan before, but it doesn't matter now. It was Shanmao who stole your supplies. It has nothing to do with me. I just ran errands for them in Black Cloud Village, did some odd jobs and wrote some calligraphy. I have never done anything bad!"

Master Tang immediately continued to explain, fearing that Li Yunlong would misunderstand his identity and kill him.

"You are Master Tang from Black Cloud Village, right?"

When arriving near Heiyun Mountain, Li Yunlong had already sent people to inquire about the situation of Heiyun Village from nearby villagers. The information was similar to what he knew. The leader of Heiyun Village was called Xie Baoqing, the second in command was called Shanmao, and the other six leaders were called Man-eating Tiger, Leopard, etc. There was also a man with a white paper fan named Tang, who was generally called Master Tang by the bandits.

"Yes, yes, yes it's me, no it's not me, now I'm not me!"

Master Tang tried his best to distance himself from the Black Cloud Village.

"My name is Li Yunlong. I used to be the commander of the New 1st Regiment, and now I'm the commander of the Independent Column. Master Tang, have you heard of me?"

Master Tang looked at Li Yunlong, who was lifting him up like a chicken, and his eyes widened as he asked, "Are you Captain Li Yunlong?"

"Have you heard of it?"

Master Tang nodded immediately and said, "I've heard of you. Everyone in southeastern Shanxi has heard of you. This is how you fight the Japanese!"

Although he was being carried in mid-air, Master Tang still gave Li Yunlong a thumbs up.

"You've heard of this and you still dare to rob my troops?"

"Captain Li, no, Commander Li, it's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding. It was done by Bobcat, it has nothing to do with me. Even if I had eight hearts of bears and leopards of courage, I wouldn't dare to touch your troops!"

At this moment, the monk stood up and said, "Captain, let me kill him with one punch and avenge our fallen comrades!"

Master Tang looked at Monk Wei's bald head and the ferocious monster behind him, wishing he could eat his soldiers alive, and his body was trembling.

Li Yunlong casually threw Master Tang to the ground and said, "Do you want to die or live?"

"I want to live! I want to live, Captain Li. I'll tell you everything you ask!"

Li Yunlong looked at Master Tang who was very cooperative and nodded. "How many people are there on the mountain?"

"Less than two hundred!"

"Ok?"

"One hundred and eighty-nine bandits, more than three hundred laborers, and more than two hundred women! I haven't counted the laborers and women. People are captured every day, and some die, making it hard to count!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong frowned: "What does a laborer do?"

"Mining. There's a copper mine behind Heiyun Village. Xie Baoqing and his men are secretly mining there. They secretly burn the copper into ingots at night and sell them on the black market!"

"Really?"

Master Tang nodded immediately and said, "It's true. The reason why Black Cloud Village has been able to grow and develop is because of this copper mine. However, not many people know this news. Apart from me, few people on the mountain know about it. They just know that there is something in the back mountain!"

“Who are you selling them to?”

After hearing this, Li Yunlong patted Master Tang's shoulder heavily. He didn't expect that there would be a surprise on the trip to Heiyun Village. Master Tang was indeed worthy of his name.

"How do I get up the mountain?"

"Walk back a few hundred meters and you'll see two large trees. Go up between them until you reach the edge of the cliff. Turn left and walk along the cliff. Then walk down and you'll see a small path. This is the path to Black Cloud Village."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately waved his hand, and the two soldiers behind him immediately prepared to explore the way according to what Master Tang said.

"Is this the way?"

Master Tang nodded immediately and said, "This is the only way. I will take this route down the mountain."

"How many sentry posts are there on the road?"

"There are three secret outposts, one at the foot of the mountain, the other at the Big Stone Bridge, and the entrance to Black Cloud Village! The Big Stone Bridge is the most dangerous spot, blocked by a huge rock. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to go through here. Only one person and one gun are needed up there, no one else can go up there!"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately took out paper and pen, found a secluded place, and lit a candle. The surrounding soldiers surrounded Li Yunlong and Master Tang almost tightly: "Draw it!"

Without any hesitation, Master Tang immediately picked up a pen and began to sketch on paper: "There are five bandits here at Dashiqiao with two Type 99 rifles. They..."

Li Yunlong questioned Master Tang in detail for about an hour, and had a clear understanding of the details of Heiyun Village. He was about to stop asking questions. At this time, several soldiers who had gone to explore the way also rushed back.

"Captain, we did find a path up the mountain. It's very steep, and we almost fell down several times!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong looked up at the sky. He had originally planned to launch an attack at night, but it seemed he had to wait. However, once it was daybreak and the large army arrived at the foot of the Heiyun Village, there would be no place to hide. The bandits on the mountain could see everything clearly, and if he attacked by force, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Li Yunlong turned his head and fixed his gaze on Master Tang. "Master Tang, Xie Baoqing and the others are drunk. Are they unaware of your sneaking down the mountain?"

"I don't know. Commander Li, I have no relationship with Xie Baoqing and the others anymore. I'll do whatever you ask me to do now!"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong nodded and said, "If you want to survive, there is a chance before you now!"

After hearing this, Master Tang's eyes lit up: "Captain Li, you said that as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

"Take a few men up the mountain in the dark. I want to kill the guards at Dashiqiao and several other places."

After listening to this, Master Tang showed a conflicted look on his face. Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Don't want to go? You don't have to go if you don't want to!"

"I'm willing, I'm willing. I'm willing to do anything Captain Li asks me to do!"

Li Yunlong then looked at Monk Wei with satisfaction and said, "Monk, you pick a few skilled warriors to follow Master Tang up the mountain and eliminate the enemy's sentry posts. You don't have to go!"

When Monk Wei heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Captain, why can't I go? I'm the best!"
