During the period when Zhang Shuyuan was in charge of Lu, Sun Baiwan's bandits were attacking, and as officers and soldiers entered the fight, they gathered many bandits to retreat to Xuejia Island in Haixi, the area of ​​Zhushan, and continued to engage in the activities of robbing families and robberies based on the terrain. During this period, Sun Baiwan colluded with Japanese ronin, smuggling and drug trafficking, and rampant around the surrounding areas, and did everything they could. After learning that the Japanese were about to evacuate Qingdao, Sun Baiwan mobilized bandits to move in the area of ​​Wanggezhuang, Jimo, north of Laoshan. With the condolence and support of the Japanese, the activity scope of the Sun's bandits expanded rapidly, and the troops exceeded 2,000 guns.

As negotiations on the evacuation of the Japanese army and the handover between Qingdao were held in Beijing, the Japanese garrison troops stationed in Qingdao had the idea of ​​the Sunma bandit gang and secretly provided them with a lot of weapons and equipment, which suddenly increased the combat effectiveness of the Sun bandits and became more arrogant.

With the secret support of the Japanese, the bandits of Sun's army used Wang Gezhuang, Jimo, north of Laoshan as their nest, uniformly wore yellow military uniforms, and seemed to be regular army, carrying guns and knives, showing off their power, which was simply arrogant. After careful planning, the bandits bribed Jimo County Police Captain Pan Changyou, and prepared to jointly capture Jimo County, and demonstrated to the Beiyang government, paving the way for the next step to enter Qingdao.

Just when the number of pirates and bandits increased around the surrounding area, in July 1922, after finishing the summer harvest and summer planting, Zhao Zhenzhong discussed with Li Laodao and others that Liu Dehai cooperated with Zhao Shanchu, Li Shiqing, Lin Haishan and the village chiefs of several surrounding villages came forward to propose to Jimo County Magistrate Mei Yuande to set up a guard team to prevent bandits and pirates in Nanyao. The guard team was raised by Yixue and nearby villages to purchase a small amount of firearms. The team members were composed of middle-aged and elderly young people from nearby villages and Yixue to protect the safety of children studying at Yixue and hundreds of orphans taken in nearby areas.

Faced with the increasing number of bandits in Laoshan and Jimo, Jimo County Magistrate Mei Yuande was also in a very troublesome. After seeing everyone, after some consideration, he agreed to everyone's request. However, County Magistrate Mei also asked the guards to prevent pirates and bandits, and should not fight with weapons and disrupt public order. The number of guards should not exceed 100. Subsequently, Liu Dehai was appointed as the captain of the Nanyao Yixue Guards and presided over all matters.

After obtaining official permission, Zhao Zhenzhong and others began to form the first armed force that came to this era. Through Lord, he purchased 60 brand new Mauser rifles, 4 Marcoqin water-cooled heavy machine guns, as well as a batch of bullets. In addition to the 80 Mauser rifles and 30 Mauser pistols that had been robbed before, Zhao Zhenzhong can now establish an armed force to strengthen the size of the company. But on the surface, Zhao Zhenzhong claimed to everyone that he had only purchased 60 Mauser rifles, and news about other weapons was blocked from the outside.

As for the escort, Zhao Zhenzhong selected 60 people from nearby villages and Nanyao Yixue. This was placed on the surface to protect Nanyao and several nearby villages. In addition, Zhao Zhenzhong also formed a special operation team with the remaining 80 Mauser rifles, 30 Mauser pistols, and 4 heavy machine guns. The Rangers consisted of two large and small trained personnel who had been trained and newly selected young men who performed well in all aspects. There were a total of 119 people. They were organized for the first-company level, with three platoons, two rifle platoons and one heavy machine gun platoon.

Each platoon of the rifle platoon has a chief and one deputy platoon leader, and three squads under its jurisdiction, with 12 people in each squad, including one chief and one deputy squad leader; the platoon has a total of 38 people, 38 rifles and 2 pistols.

The heavy machine gun platoon has a chief and one deputy platoon leader, and two squads under the jurisdiction, with 12 people in each squad, including one chief and one deputy squad leader; the platoon has a total of 26 people, 4 heavy machine guns, 2 pistols and 4 rifles.

There is one company commander in the company headquarters, 16 reconnaissance squad directly under the company headquarters, and a total of 24 pistols.

In addition to Li Yuntian, Wu Mingshan and four others served as the captains of each escort team, the platoon leader of each squad of the Rangers were all selected from the 28 people who were the first to receive training from Zhao Zhenzhong.

The guard team is led by Li Yuntian, Lin Haifeng, Wu Mingshan, and the Rangers are led by Zhao Zhenzhong, Li Yunhai, Jiang Yishan, Zhou Hao and others. The guard team only conducts basic training such as shooting. The Rangers must receive complete military training including discipline, queues, internal affairs, military skills, etc., but it is limited to the venue and conditions. Some military skill training is not yet carried out, but the relevant content is basically in the prototype of mountain infantry.

After the escort team was formed, Zhao Zhenzhong led the two team members to establish hidden fortifications in the stone caves in Shanli and nearby residences based on the terrain, and arranged 100 Mauser rifles, 30 pistols and two heavy machine guns here. 40 Mauser rifles and two heavy machine guns hidden in the dark were arranged on the Nanyao Yixue. To outsiders, there were 60 guns on both sides, and a group of hairy children under the age of 20 were playing, so they did not attract much attention from the outside world.

Since the team was established in early July, Zhao Zhenzhong has been training team members. Because of the foundation of using crossbows in the past, it has saved a lot of effort to train the shooting. Other relevant disciplines, queues, internal affairs and personal military skills require hard work. Until mid-September, more than 100 people experienced training in regular military subjects such as going up the mountain, going down the sea, carrying weights and crossing obstacles, hiding, fighting, reconnaissance, gathering in the middle of the night, etc. After being tossed to death, gritted their teeth and persevered, everyone took off several layers of skin and became dark and dirty, but everyone's spirit has undergone a complete transformation. From these developing teenagers, they can feel their calmness, perseverance and the power that can explode at any time in their bodies. The whole person is like a sharp blade hidden in the sheath, sharp and restrained.

After more than two months of physical training and ideological indoctrination, the teenagers of the Rangers looked at Zhao Zhenzhong without any doubt, but were full of trust and admiration. Even Zhou Hao, who was the youngest in training but insisted on completing various trainings, was very impressed.

Standing on the flat ground in the mountains, Zhao Zhenzhong stood in front of the team and looked at the Rangers after more than two months of training, and was quite moved. The team in front of him will be the basis for the development of his strength in this era, and it is also the one he and others can use to change the historical trajectory in the future. This team is undoubtedly an elite in the eyes of people of this era, but in Zhao Zhenzhong, who knows the true level of special forces in later generations, the level of this Rangers is far from enough. Not only does it lack the comprehensive quality of personnel and cannot be compared with later generations, but even the skillful application of various weapons cannot be achieved at present, let alone has not yet undergone any practical baptism, lack of understanding and understanding of tactics and even battles.

"After more than two months of training, everyone has persisted. Not only has their physical fitness and tactical skills improved greatly, but their ideological concepts have also changed greatly. This is very good. But the achievements in front of us are still far from our goal. We will still conduct various trainings in winter, and I hope everyone can laugh to the end by then." Zhao Zhenzhong began to speak.

"The training we are currently conducting is more stringent than any other team in the world at present! There is only one purpose for such strict training, which is to make everyone survive in future battles! Sweat more now to make less blood on the battlefield!"

"In the past two and a half months, everyone has remembered our discipline, what kind of team we are, why we fight, and what our future tasks are. You may not understand these things very well now, but you must keep them in your heart, which is related to our future development."

"One reason we interrupted training this time is because of the autumn harvest. The autumn planting season is here, so we have to join the labor; the other reason is to prepare for battle."

Seeing the eagerness and nervousness in his eyes when many team members heard the battle was about to go on, Zhao Zhenzhong continued: "A few days ago, during the reconnaissance training, we received the news that Sun Baiwan was going to lead the vast majority of the troops in Wang Gezhuang's nest to besiege Jimo County. According to the news, the bandits from Sun's army will take action in the early morning of the 24th."

"Our purpose this time is to take advantage of the opportunity when the bandits of Sun's army are out, to flatten their nests, eliminate the left-behind bandits, and seize the materials for my use. For this reason, I order..." Zhao Zhenzhong paused for a moment and continued, "The reconnaissance squad followed me to clear the bandit's nest post; the first and second rows followed, and the third row replaced the rifle seconded by the guards, and one squad served as the periphery guard, and the remaining squad drove a sailboat and waited for the reception by the nearby sea."

"The action time is set on the evening of the 23rd, that is, tomorrow night. After everyone disbands, they will prepare and gather at the southern bay of Nanyao after supper on the 23rd."

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Zhenzhong asked Zhou Hao for a few more words and then sneaked into Jimo County alone.
