"Leader, isn't it too risky to do this?”Mr Lu frowned.
It would be a good thing if they won the bet. However, if they lost, they might even lose their lives.
"Mr. Lu, I've made up my mind! Rather than fleeing from Yuxi like a coward, it was better to take a risk! wealth and honor are sought in danger. As long as we can destroy the 7th Division's headquarters and kill or capture Yuan Shikai's second son, we will win. He might even be able to take advantage of this opportunity to get more benefits from Yuan Shikai.”A smile appeared on Bai Lang's face.
He seemed to have already thought of how much ransom he could ask Yuan Shikai for after capturing Yuan Baocen alive. Perhaps he could even get an official position from the Northern Warlords Government. In that case, he would no longer be a bandit, but an official.
"Mr Lu, let's split up and gather the leaders of all the forces in Yuxi for a discussion as soon as possible.”
"Alright, leader!"
Bai Lang and Mr Lu immediately took action and visited all the larger bandit forces in the mountainous area of western Henan.
Three days. He only used three days.
Bai Lang had gathered eighteen large bandit forces in the mountainous area of western Yu. These bandits added up to more than forty thousand people.
The reason why Bai Lang was able to integrate these bandits so smoothly was partly because of his influence among the bandits. On the other hand, it was the ability of the eloquent Mr Lu and the support of the Southern Revolutionary Party.
The revolutionary party still had a lot of influence among the bandits in western Henan. They were eager to make use of these bandits to heavily injure the 7th Infantry Division. If he could kill or capture Yuan Baocen alive, it would be a heavy blow to Yuan Shikai. This was also what they hoped to see.
Under such circumstances, they could only unite and fight to the death. Perhaps there was still a chance of survival.
After gathering these bandits, Bai Lang immediately ordered the bandits to gather at Lushan County.
Even though the 7th Infantry Division of the Beiyang Army had sent a large number of reconnaissance troops into the mountainous area of western Henan and stationed a large number of troops on the main roads outside the mountain. However, the mountainous area of western Henan was vast. In addition to the main roads, there were many small roads and even winding trails.
Even if the Beiyang Army had more than 20,000 people, it was impossible to seal off the entire mountainous area of western Yu.
Lushan County, Northern Army 7th Infantry Division headquarters.
Apart from the division headquarters, the artillery regiment, cavalry regiment, engineering regiment, and logistics regiment were all stationed here. Although most of them were second-line troops, their total strength was as high as ten thousand.
"Commander, the reconnaissance teams have been very effective in the mountainous area. They have already wiped out thousands of bandits. Although not all of them were under Bai Lang's command, they had undoubtedly suffered heavy losses.”Jiang Baili was very excited.
This was the 7th Infantry Division's first battle, and the start was smooth. This undoubtedly boosted their confidence.
"Yes! After all, the scouting team is our elite. If we can't even deal with a few bandits, how can we fight the Japanese in the future?”
Jiang Baili smiled. Second Young Master Yuan had always made the Japanese his target. The entire 7th Infantry Division knew this. Everyone was already used to this.
The soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division also believed that they were not inferior to the Japanese.
"Commander, Deputy Commander, the latest news is that the bandits in the mountainous area of Yuxi are gathering and are charging towards Lushan County. Looks like we've hurt them, but not only did they not admit defeat, they even jumped over the wall in desperation.”
"Is the news reliable?" Jiang Baili asked.
"Absolutely reliable. Our scouting team has also discovered their tracks.”
"It seems that those bandits are planning to stake everything on this.”Yuan Baocen nodded.
"Commander, those bandits are definitely here for you. Why don't you leave Lushan County first?" Jiang Baili suggested.
"No, if I leave, will those bandits still attack? Since they wanted to attack Lushan County, then let them come. "This is also an excellent opportunity for us to capture these bandits in one fell swoop. In this way, the bandits in the entire western region of Yuxi would be wiped out.”
"Commander, should we mobilize a few infantry regiments?”Zhang Xiaozhun suggested.
"Not for the time being. They're just a bunch of bandits. With our troops here, can't we stop them? Get a few infantry regiments ready. When the bandits start attacking Lushan County, they will take action to block the bandits 'escape route. This time, we definitely can't let this go. We'll capture all these bandits in one fell swoop and leave no one alive!”
"Yes, teacher." Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaozhun both answered.
