After a round of communication, the old man finally stopped being suspicious of Xue Li and the others 'identities. He had already taken the initiative to speak and revealed quite a few secrets.
It turned out that this was a place called Ji 'an in Jiangxi. The Japanese had just swept through it some time ago. In order to protect themselves, the old man's family of three had no choice but to enter the mountains and live like savages.
Originally, the mother of the siblings was still alive. However, when she went out one day, she was discovered by bandits on a certain mountain. In order to prevent herself from being raped by these beasts, she shot herself in the head and buried her body on the other side of the forest.
When the old man said this, the siblings hugged each other and cried, making the Night Rose sisters look sad, but there was nothing they could do.
"Where is the base camp of these bandits?”Xue Li's eyes were burning with anger as he listened. F * ck you. It's fine if the Japanese are stepping on your heads and doing whatever they want, but you're actually shooting at your fellow countrymen. Where's your conscience?
Xue Li had made up his mind to get rid of this mountain. No matter what price he had to pay, he had to kill this bunch of bastards.
"They are on a small hill in the south of Jiangxi. If you want to go from Jiangxi to Guangdong, you can't go through the Jinggang Mountain road.”
The old man pointed at a tactical topographic map on the table and said,""Yan Jialing, there are about a few hundred bandits gathered there. They have eighty to ninety guns. I heard that they even received help from the Japanese.”
Xue Li nodded his head. Then, he drew a red cross on the tactical topographic map. Red represented blood, and the cross represented death.
After leaving behind some food, Xue Li bid farewell to the old man's family of three. He wanted to invite them to leave with him, but the old man shook his head and said that he planned to bring his family to Jinggang Mountain. That was a red base area and was absolutely safe. Xue Li did not stop him. He only warned them to be careful and led the troops on their way.
The Yan Jialing Bandits were quite a force. They were located on the border of Guangdong and Jiangxi, and they had close ties with the Japanese 11th Army. One move could affect the whole situation. That was why they were not eliminated by the Eighth Route Army and allowed him to continue to jump around.
Half a day had passed. According to the route the old man had told them, they were not far from Yan Jialing. They could see smoke rising from the top of the mountain. There were also some watchtowers built on top of it, but it was useless because the people in charge of keeping watch were all sleeping.
"They are indeed bandits." Xue Li called out, and the Blade Warrior team followed him. They scouted the nearby terrain and even drew a map with their rich experience in surviving in the wild.
Meanwhile, the Nightwalker sisters were responsible for keeping Shinozuka Reiko in custody. They hid in a temporary trench.
Yan Jialing was not high, but there was only one way up the mountain. The other sides were either deep valleys or dense forests. There were probably many mines buried there, so they definitely could not go up from there.
There were at least a few hundred bandits in Yan Jialing, and they were armed with eighty to ninety guns. They were comparable to a squadron of Japanese soldiers, not to mention that they were a group of bandits who killed people like flies. There was absolutely no reason to reason with them.
In fact, after the unconditional surrender of Japan in 1945, the main opponents of the People's Liberation Army, other than the National Party, were these organized and undisciplined bandits.
Just as Xue Li was deep in thought, the system issued a random mission.
"Ding…harming our fellow countrymen, the heavens cannot tolerate this!”
" Mission content: Destroy the Yan Family Ridge bandit organization.”
" Mission completed: Reward: 2,000 CP points, 500 achievement points!”
……
Late at night, a full moon rose from the sky. The bright moonlight shone down, as if it was draping a layer of silver on the ground. It was very beautiful.
However, Xue Li's gaze gradually became solemn. Because the surroundings were too bright, it was simply unrealistic to charge into the Yan Family Ridge under such circumstances. He reckoned that he would be discovered by the watchtower's sentries before he even reached halfway, attracting the attention of the enemy's main force.
Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to wait. Wait for the dark clouds to block the moonlight.
Xue Li thought that the heavens would not be so kind tonight and was about to give the order to rest when dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, blocking the moonlight and creating an excellent geographical environment for their operation.
However, just as the Blade Squad was about to climb the mountain, Xue Li stopped them. He keenly noticed a sneaky figure approaching from not far away. It was in the direction of Yan Jialing.
Xue Li's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. Borrowing the last ray of moonlight, he suddenly discovered that this person was wearing leggings similar to the Eighth Route Army uniform, but the clothes on his body didn't look like it. He wondered who this person was.
A group of bandits rode down from the mountain and surrounded this person, chatting and laughing. Then, they went up the mountain together, but this made Xue Li even more cautious.
"Go up the mountain now!" With Xue Li's order, the Blade Squad rushed out together with him. Using some natural cover, they slowly made their way toward the Yan Clan Ridge bandit camp.
In the end, he had not gone far when he met a bandit who had come out to pee!
Xue Li was shocked and cursed inwardly. He waved the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand and directly slit the bandit's throat. It was simply thrilling.
