When Zhao Zhenzhong helped the people in the control area to harvest and plant summer, rectify people's hearts and consolidate control in the area, several detachments that attacked outside had their own achievements.

Among the five detachments, the bandits in the area under the Duyishan detachment in the northeast were basically eliminated in the clearing last year. Except for the so-called militia organized by some landlords and bullies, it was smooth sailing. The area under the responsibility of Zou Degui detachment in the northwest was that when he cleared out the defeated troops in the Taishan Mountains last winter, he basically did not encounter any resistance.

However, the two detachments of Liu Jifeng and Jiang Yishan, who were heading south from Han Wang in the southeast, and the Xu Chaoyuan detachment that was advancing southwest from Zhangzhuang, encountered a lot of trouble.

Let’s talk about two detachments that went south, Jiang Yishan and Liu Jifeng.

After accepting the task of going south, since the two detachments were close to each other and the task of this operation was to expand the southern line, Jiang Yishan wanted the two detachments to carry out a joint operation. Before the detachment was ready to set off, Jiang Yishan led several men to Han Wang to find Liu Jifeng.

"Yishan, why did you run away from you now if you are not here to make preparations before departure?" Liu Jifeng couldn't help but feel a little surprised when Jiang Yishan came to his place at this time.

"Come here to discuss something with you." They are both good brothers who have grown up together. Jiang Yishan did not make concessions and directly explained the purpose of the trip. "You see, the tasks of our two detachments are to expand the southern line, but you are to the east and I am to the west. How about our joint operations?"

"Yes." Liu Jifeng pondered for a moment and said, "Since we are going south, we can do it together when we advance south. However, after opening the southward passage, you and I will attack the mission area separately."

"That's of course." Jiang Yishan nodded in agreement, "I just think that since we all want to go south, the two detachments work together to open up the southward passage in the early stage, and then we will develop into the respective responsible areas along the east and west sides of the passage, which should be easier."

"This is no problem! Let's make a good idea." Liu Jifeng readily agreed with Jiang Yishan's opinion.

Afterwards, the two and several company commanders under them formulated an action plan: the two detachments first worked together to go south, through Quanzhuang area, and directly to Cuijiayu, controlling the intersection of east-west transportation between east-west and north-south traffic, then concentrated their forces to occupy the Motianling southwest of Cuijiayu, forming a channel from the control area to the south, and then the two detachments expanded along the channel to the east-west sides.

"Yishan, how do you know about the situation in the south?" Liu Jifeng asked.

"In August last year, several of our companies learned about some situations when they were in the Yimeng Mountains. At that time, the entire Yimeng was full of bandits. After the large-scale clearance last fall, there were some small groups of bandits spreading around here, mostly with only 3,400 people."

"However, there are now several bandits entrenched in the passage we are about to open, mainly Yang Guangsheng bandits in Cuijiayu and its southwest Motianling area. The troops have merged some broken bandits since they escaped from the bandit fire last fall, and now they have nearly 800 guns. In addition, they occupy the dangerous terrain of Motianling, which is difficult to fight. Do you have any other news?" After Jiang Yishan said what he knew about, he asked Liu Jifeng again.

"Even if they have 800 guns, the forces from our two detachments to the south have more than 1,300 troops, plus machine guns and mortars, it should not be a problem to take down Motianling." Liu Jifeng was full of confidence and continued: "I also know some other situations, that is, some large landlords occupy the dangerous terrain and form villages to organize troops to resist the bandits. This is not conducive to our later rural work. Should we eliminate them first while taking advantage of this action?"

Jiang Yishan thought for a while and said, "If these landlords are on the southward passage and are covered with blood debts, it's nothing to eliminate them. As for the others, wait until we clean up the bandits and then go back to trouble them. After all, the bandits can escape at any time when they see the situation is not good, and those landlords and bullies have families and careers, and cannot escape them."

"Okay, that's it!" Liu Jifeng nodded in agreement.

Then, the two detachments united and began to march south.

Since the bandits in the surrounding areas of the garrison were wiped out by the garrison team, the bandits of all sizes within 15 kilometers south were eliminated by veterans of the training camp when they were training new recruits. When the two detachments passed through Quanzhuang and headed south to Cuijiayu, they did not encounter bandits or landlord armed forces.

However, two detachments on Motianling, southwest of Cuijiayu and Yang Guangsheng, who had a geographical advantage, fought a fierce battle.

When Yang Guangsheng led his troops to participate in the robbery of grain last year, he secretly complained that he had gone a little late and could only lean on the periphery. But when Liu Heiqi and Yin Laihao and the bandits had a large-scale merger, Yang Guangsheng was glad that he could get out in time on the periphery.

Since Zhao Zhenzhong and others were not strong enough to encircle and annihilate all the bandits at that time, they only deployed their troops on the retreat of large bandits such as Liu Heiqi and Yin Laihao. They temporarily opened up the small bandits of Yang Guangsheng with about 300 people at that time, so that they could escape.

After choosing a mountain road near the stone bridge to escape back to Motianling, Yang Guangsheng not only gladly, but also recruited some broken bandits. In addition to last year's Battle of Zhejiang and Fengtian and the Battle of Henan and Lu, his team expanded to more than 790 guns.

However, Yang Guangsheng has been paying attention to the movements in the north since the fire near the stone bridge last autumn. Although he didn't know what the final result of the fire was, he has never heard of Liu Heiqi, Yin Laihao, Wang Sida, and Zhao Ma's remnants again. Instead, a "guard" that was said to be a robbery of the rich and helping the poor appeared in the north. Yang Guangsheng began to pay attention to the news about the guard. At the beginning, the guard was said to have only a few hundred people, but some time ago, he could send more than a thousand troops to sweep the bandits in the nearby area. Moreover, they all had good guns in their hands and their marksmanship was also accurate. Fortunately, they got the news in time, and Yang Guangsheng led his brothers to retreat back to the nest of Motianling. The guards did not come to the door.

The guards that appeared a few days ago had just left. Before they could calm down for a few days, they heard the spy arranged in Cuijiayu area that another team came from the north. Yang Guangsheng made up his mind to catch the medicine as he did last time, and he just didn't come out to provoke them. Based on his dangerous terrain, he would not run over to find it uncomfortable. So he instructed a few of his confidants and said, "Let your brothers be energetic these days, but don't be touched by someone to be a fool."

Those people did not dare to neglect and quickly conveyed Yang Guangsheng's order.

Three days passed, just when the bandits in the Motianling area thought the limelight had passed, the battle started in the middle of the night on the fourth day.

When Yang Guangsheng was awakened, he didn't know how many troops the other party had in the dark, but they had already entered the outermost layer of the parcel. While putting on his pants, he shouted to several subordinates who came to report the news in anger: "Which bastard was there to watch tonight? All of them were sent to the parcel? I'm going to peel him off!"

"Master, let alone these things, just run away quickly." One of the subordinates advised.

"What are you running? Where to run? You don't know the terrain of Motianling. The mountain is steep, with only the paths up and down in the mountains. You will fall off the cliff if you accidentally fall in the dark. If you want to say it's better to rely on the terrain here on the top of the mountain to resist until dawn. The group of people outside are now just entering the outermost layer of the mountain, and there is still a distance to get here." Another bandit retorted.

"Zhang Laosi is right." Yang Guangsheng put on his clothes and held the Mauser pistol in his hand and thought: "Go and let the brothers resist according to the mountains and houses, and spend until dawn to see the situation. The terrain of Motianling is so dark that it is impossible to run away."

Not to mention Yang Guangsheng's arrangement, Liu Jifeng, who was commanding the team outside to attack, said to Jiang Yishan with some annoyance: "No wonder Mr. used to say that the new recruits who were not tempered were not responsible. These guys could really mess up good things. The night attacks and assassinations made them so earth-shaking."

Jiang Yishan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't complain. Let's find a way to deal with this bandit before talking about other things."

"What method? Now we either continue to attack hard or wait for dawn to see the situation and use heavy firepower. We can't retreat, right?" Liu Jifeng was a little anxious when he saw that the two detachments had no choice but to copy the bandits in the dark.

"Don't think about retreating. I think I'd like to keep a confrontation with the bandits for the time being. Anyway, they have surrounded them on the mountain. If it doesn't work at dawn, we will use mortars." Jiang Yishan decided to say.

"Oh! That's all. If half of our team were trained by the teacher before, this bandit would have been taken down long ago." Liu Jifeng was unwilling.

"We should use this expansion operation to train these recruits first, and then we will train them well after the entire operation is over. It just cannot be exactly the same as the range team of more than 770 people that the teacher trained at the beginning, at least it cannot be too different. Even a problem occurred in carrying out a night attack." Jiang Yishan said with an idea.

"That's right! I must train them well to let them know what elites are!" Liu Jifeng was a little bit gritted.

More than 4 hours later, it was already dawn.

"Which friends from the mountain outside are there? Everyone is making a living on the road. If you have something to do, why bother to use a knife and a gun to get hurt? "The bandit called Zhang Laosi followed Yang Guangsheng's meaning and began to shout, hoping to solve the problem peacefully.

The answer to him was the sudden violent gunfire.

"The sniper squads of each company suppress the enemy; each company conducts fire-raising fire according to its respective areas of responsibility; the machine guns and mortars are in place, waiting for further orders." Liu Jifeng put down the telescope in his hand and issued an order.

"Wait a minute." Several communication soldiers were about to turn around to convey the order, but Jiang Yishan stopped him.

"I think we can use small cannons to give the bandits on the top of the mountain a few times. Few of these bandits have seen these guys. When they break through in a panic, they will use machine guns to attack them in a concentrated manner, so that they can eliminate them as soon as possible, so that we can suffer less losses." Jiang Yishan said to Liu Jifeng.

"Well, no problem. Notify each company to use all 10 mortars in a concentrated manner, and each cannon will be fired with one shell before talking about it. 20 machine guns are also used in a concentrated manner, and they are arranged on the road where the bandits break out. After the bandits break out, they will concentrate their firepower to intercept them." Liu Jifeng ordered the communications army.

When Yang Guangsheng saw the people outside ignored his subordinates' request for dialogue and was thinking about it in the house in the village, he suddenly heard a few "boom" explosions coming from nearby and was shocked. Before he could react, Zhang Laosi ran in and said angrily: "Boss, lead the brothers to run away! These guys outside have small cannons! We will definitely not be able to defend them!"

"Little Cannon? What little cannon?" Yang Guangsheng was a little puzzled.

As soon as he finished speaking, two "boom" explosions rang out in the yard.
