Suppressing bandits is not as simple as words, intelligence is the most important link, if you don't even know where the bandits are, then Liu Goat's actual battle against bandits is equivalent to a pure spring outing. The 120 regiments that Ge Kunshan transferred from the barracks said that they were transferred to find out the whereabouts of the bandits, but in fact they were transferred by Ge Kunshan to help him sell illicit goods, so Liu Goat, who had already guessed this, did not believe the bandit information provided by Ge Kunshan.

"Xiao He, I know that your father and two uncles died at the hands of bandits, but you have to remember that after discovering the whereabouts of the bandits, what you have to do is not to rush up and fight with them, but to immediately return to find us, only in this way can we catch those bandits, otherwise it will be a failure." Not all of these regiments trained by Liu Goat dare not fight against the bandits, and the four of them who were sent by Liu Goat in advance are the outliers among these regiments, because they all have relatives who died at the hands of the bandits, so the four of them are unswerving supporters of the bandits.

He Guang is the only one of these regiments who has gone to school, if it weren't for the fact that his father and two uncles who went to the provincial capital to return goods died at the hands of the bandits, maybe He Guang would still be sitting in the school to read and write. "Damn bandit" He Guang, who was sweating profusely, looked up at the dazzling sunlight, and naturally reached out to grab the kettle on his waist, but when his fingers had already touched the kettle, He Guang took his hand back. There was not much water in the kettle, and the companions who had set off with him were about to return, and He Guang wanted to leave the little water left for them.

Eager to find the bandits for revenge, they did not carry enough food and water as required by Liu Goat, and the fatigue of mountain climbing made He Guang and them have already drunk a pot of water, and only half of the water on his body is left. Seeing his three companions appear on the hillside not far in front of him from a distance, He Guang, who had been hanging his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, among the four people, He Guang was the youngest one, but he was the one who took the idea among the four.

"I found it, it was on the Qinglong Ridge in the North Mountain, and Huazi saw smoke on it." The eldest Sun Yang took the kettle handed by He Guang and didn't drink it, but handed it to Zhao Jiayong, who was panting heavily. "The road in Qinglongling is not very easy to walk, I touched Huazi and went to see, there are four bandits guarding the mountain road, there are ruts and horseshoe prints on the mountain road leading to the back mountain, see that the mark is still fresh, maybe the bandits on the mountain went down the mountain to rob the road again."

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, this is a sentence that He Guang's father often says, so He Guang is using a pencil tip and paper at this time to write down everything Sun Yang just said. "The task given to us by Chief Liu is to find the bandits' lair, and now that they have been discovered, then we will leave two people to guard here, and the others will go back to inform Chief Liu that they should also go out of the city, and go back along the avenue to meet them in the middle of the road."

According to Liu Goat's instructions, He Guang decided to stay here with Sun Yang's hand, and let Zhao Jiayong and Ma Hua go back to find Liu Goat to report the situation. "Hide the gun, if you encounter bandits, don't think about fighting with them, bringing back the situation here and telling Chief Liu is the most important thing, do you know the way?" As the youngest of the four, He Guang did not speak, and the words he gave before leaving were all explained by Sun Yang on his behalf.

Sun Yang and the others didn't actually find the bandits' lair, they just saw the bandits guarding Qinglongling from a distance, so they returned the same way. If it was a change for Liu Goat to bring people to investigate the bandits, he would definitely continue to search along the Qinglong Ridge to the back mountain until he found the bandits' lair. Sun Yang's timidity made the situation they brought back incomplete, because the Qinglong Ridge they found was not the only way for those bandits to return to their nests.

The anxious Zhao Jiayong and Ma Hua didn't know what to do, according to what Sun Yang had explained before leaving, the two of them ran along the avenue in the direction of the county, they didn't know where they had gone, but they knew that the faster they were, the sooner they would meet Liu goats. "No, I can't run, let's rest for a while, I'm almost out of breath." Zhao Jiayong, who was panting heavily, stopped, and ran for two miles, Zhao Jiayong's physical strength was consumed too fast.

Ma Hua, who was also panting, suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhao Jiayong, who wanted to sit on the side of the road, and before Zhao Jiayong could ask what to hold himself, Ma Hua had already stretched out his other hand to cover his mouth tightly, and vigorously dragged Zhao Jiayong into the field on the side of the road. "Don't make a sound, I hear the sound of horses' hooves ahead, at least a dozen." Ma Hua dragged Zhao Jiayong to a hollow in the field, and whispered a reminder in Zhao Jiayong's ear.

There were also horses in the barracks, but except for a few horses used to pull the cart, there were only 6 horses that could be ridden, and the sound of horses' hooves heard by MCA was definitely the scale of more than 15 horses, so MCA concluded that it would not be their people who appeared on horseback. With Ma Hua's explanation and reminder, Zhao Jiayong was no longer tense up, nor did he care about his physical strength that was about to bottom out, so he lowered his head and followed Ma Hua and ran desperately to the depression in the field.

If the distance of more than 100 meters was placed just now, Zhao Jiayong might be able to run out of dozens of meters and run softly, but this will be related to his life and death and the success or failure of the task. The two people, who were trying to control their jumping hearts and did not dare to pant loudly, lay quietly in the hollow, and they didn't even have the courage to look up.

Horses are not something that everyone can afford, and the sound of horses' hooves is at least the scale of more than 15 horses. The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the sound of strong horses' hooves stomping on the ground seemed to hit Ma Hua and Zhao Jiayong's hearts directly, and the sound of horses' hooves that sounded like a drum sounded like a war drum to them made them tremble.

The depression where MCA and they are hiding is only 100 meters away from the avenue, this is the only place where he can find and hide himself and Zhao Jiayong, no matter what, he has to save his life first, this is when the four of them set off, Liu Goat personally took the matter, and the honest and steady MCA kept this sentence firmly in mind. Ma Hua listened well, there were indeed more than a dozen tall horses on the avenue, but these people on horseback were not bandits from Beishan, but some men dressed as ordinary people.

If Ma Hua and Zhao Jiayong in the hollow look up at this time, they will definitely find the difference between those men riding horses and ordinary people, the difference is not those men, but the horses they are riding. Those tall horses are obviously not the same as the horses they have seen, first of all, they are much taller than the horses in the barracks, and the posture of these horses when they run is strictly trained, if Liu Goat is here at this time, he will definitely recognize that those horses are military horses.

"Ozawa-kun, how far are we to get to the place you said?" Kuroda on horseback grabbed the reins with one hand and put his already stiff right hand to his mouth and sighed, trying to regain the flexibility of his right hand in this way. In the early spring of March, the weather had warmed up, but they were riding fast horses against the wind, and the high speed of the horses and the oncoming wind were enough to make their body stiff and stiff on their backs.

"Shut up, Kuroda, when we set out, Osaku said that if we want to talk in Shina, we must not reveal our identity, this is not our occupation zone yet." Ozawa, who had also slowed down his horse slightly, glared back at Kuroda, and then looked at the others with a warning look, "You are the same, remember what our mission is this time, and we must not reveal our true identities until we receive an order from Osa." ”

"Yes, boss, we remember." The rider who was admonished by Ozawa nodded his head on horseback and called Ozawa the boss according to the identity that he had already discussed, but Kuroda, who was the first to speak in Japanese, did not care. Kuroda and Ozawa were soldiers of the same year, and both of them had served in Manchuria, if it weren't for Kuroda violating the military order and letting go of a fellow countryman who secretly hid gold, maybe it wouldn't be Ozawa who is now the squad leader, but he Kuroda Woomitsu.

It is precisely because of the imbalance in his heart that from the day Ozawa became the captain of the squad, Kuroda did not call Ozawa's rank, but still called Ozawa by his first name as before. Ozawa, who has always remembered his old feelings, did not have a bad relationship with Kuroda because of this, in his opinion, the squad leader is just a foothold for his advancement, and it is really a bit unreasonable to have a bad relationship with Kuroda of the same year for a small second lieutenant squad leader, and Kuroda is one of the few veterans in his team, and Ozawa also needs his help.

"Let's go, speed up, Qinglongling is not far ahead, when we get to the mountain, we can have a good rest." As he spoke, Ozawa reached out and touched the sack lying horizontally behind him. Of the dozen or so people, only Ozawa had a sack lying on his horse, and a radio station on his horseback was the only way for them to contact the large army, so Ozawa was always paying attention to the safety of the horse behind him.

"We're finally leaving, let's leave too." Ma Hua in the hollow listened to the sound of horses' hooves on the avenue gradually moving away, and hurriedly urged Zhao Jiayong, who was lying with him, to get up and leave. The careless Ma Hua and Zhao Jiayong only remembered to quickly find Liu Goat and the militia group who set off from the county seat, but completely ignored that the direction in which the horse team was galloping was Qinglongling, where they had just left, and Sun Yang and He Guang were still guarding under Qinglongling at the moment.
