Su Zhenze stood in the stronghold of Tiger Head Ridge. The mountain was rugged and there were cliffs on three sides, which made the natural precipitousness of the mountain clear. He looked down at the beautiful rivers and mountains at the foot of the mountain. Who would have thought that such a good place like Tiger Head Ridge would be occupied by a group of bandits? However, all of this needed to change. He would start by eliminating the bandits in this area, Su Zhenze thought with a determined expression.
"Company Commander, there are many good things on Tiger Head Mountain! Look!"
The first platoon leader, Wang Yongxiang, and the second platoon leader, Li Ruilong, ran over and said excitedly after cleaning up the bandits 'warehouse on Tiger Head Mountain.
"Oh, bring me there!"
Su Zhenze's interest was piqued.
"More than forty fast guns, huh? So it was made in Hanyang! It's still 80% new. That's not bad!"
Su Zhenze picked up a stack of more than 40 fast guns and tried them out. He felt that they did not seem to be made by foreigners. After thinking about it, he felt that they were made by Hanyang Munitions Factory and were 80% new. In this era, they could be considered standard weapons among Chinese warlords. After trying them out, he felt that they were not bad.
"Yes, Company Commander! There were also a lot of bullets, two cannons, ten horses, and 50,000 dollars in cash!”
"Come on, Second Platoon Leader, you're jealous when you see these things, right? Look at you!" Su Zhenze looked at Li Ruilong's excited face and could not help but scold him deliberately.
"Everyone, quickly clean up the battlefield and take back everything here. If you act early, you can still make it in time for breakfast. Otherwise, you won't have anything to eat!”
Ignoring Li Ruilong's resentful expression, Su Zhenze urged everyone to quickly clean up the battlefield and bring back the spoils of war.
During this period, when the two platoon leaders were still asking if they should evacuate later, they directly burned the place down. Su Zhenze thought about it and rejected this idea.
He felt that there had never been any major conflict between the five groups of bandits in the Su Residence. Moreover, they were clearly divided. It was very likely that they had some secret communication. If he burned this place rashly, it would be easy for them to find out that the bandits here had been eliminated. It would arouse their vigilance and would not be beneficial for the subsequent battle.
After the Self-Defense Forces finished cleaning up the stronghold, they quickly returned to the original route. However, this time, everyone was in high spirits, especially those who had killed the bandits with their own hands. When they thought of the generous reward, they hummed even more.
The people who had hesitated and were afraid to kill the bandits could not help but regret it now. From the beginning, he was afraid. After the whole process, especially when all the bandits 'blood-stained corpses were piled up together, he felt that these bandits were also humans. They had guns, and he also had guns. The local guns in his hands could also take their lives. He no longer hesitated and feared. Instead, he looked at the corpses filled with bullets and felt a bloodthirsty desire.
Su Zhenze had also noticed the changes in the entire team. He felt that everything he had done was very successful. He had successfully let them leave the ranks of the new recruits, causing the entire team to have a trace of killing intent. This was the foundation of building a strong army.
After a distance of 20 kilometers, the Self-Defense Forces quickly returned to Xiayang Dam under the rapid marching mode.
Zhang Dahai, the platoon leader of the Self-Defense Force's Third Platoon, who was still doing morning training, received a report from the sentry post that the First Platoon and Second Platoon had returned from their field training. He could not help but be surprised. Could it be that the bandits of Tiger Head Ridge had been taken care of so quickly?
At this moment, Zhang Dahai, who was about to go out to welcome them, saw Su Zhenze leading the Self-Defense Forces into the room.
"Hello, Company Commander!" Zhang Dahai quickly led the Third Platoon to salute Su Zhenze.
" Mm, the training is not bad!" Su Zhenze observed Third Platoon's intense and serious training and nodded.
"Stop training, everyone gather!”
After everyone had gathered, Su Zhenze stood on the high platform and announced loudly to everyone.
"Today, your Third Platoon must be very curious about why I led the First and Second Platoons to the wilderness for training. A platoon leader! Move everything up!"
After the soldiers in the first row moved the 30 Hanyang weapons, 10 horses, ammunition, and cannons to everyone, Su Zhenze said loudly.
"Did everyone see that? This is the result of our field training! We have eliminated more than 20 bandits who have been entrenched in Tiger Head Ridge for a long time. Everyone, take a look. This is our harvest this time!”
At this moment, those who had not carried out their mission exclaimed in disbelief. A group of vicious bandits entrenched in the steep terrain of Tiger Head Ridge had been eliminated just like that. Moreover, there were no obvious casualties in the first and second platoons. These people sized up Su Zhenze with doubt, curiosity, excitement, and fervor.
"I know that some people might not believe it! Facing these ferocious bandits, everyone was afraid. They were afraid of failure, afraid of death, afraid of losing everything! Is that why you refuse to resist? Tell me, what are you holding in your hands?”Su Zhenze questioned loudly.
"Spear!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"That's right! It is a gun, it is your weapon! These bandits are humans, and we are humans too. They have guns, and we have guns too. Why should we be afraid of them? They were also humans. If they were shot, they would also be skeletons. They would also die and feel pain!”
"Have you forgotten that you were bullied by them before? Everyone should know that every family in the Su family has been given a piece of land and will have a good life. But if we don't get rid of these pests, they will come again next spring. Are you willing to let them drink our blood and eat our flesh?”
When the people of the Self-Defense Force thought of the food that their families had worked so hard to grow, the money they earned, and the loved ones that they loved, their blood boiled. They immediately responded loudly, as if they wanted to be at odds with these bandits.
"No!"
"Yes, none of us are willing, so we can only pick up our weapons and resist, and finally kill them!”
After Su Zhenze's speech that made their blood boil, he immediately began to reward the meritorious personnel in person.
"Monkey King!" Su Zhenze started to call out names according to their contributions.
"Here!"
"Because you played a huge role in the battle and investigation of Tiger Head Ridge this time, I now appoint you as the deputy squad leader of First Platoon, Third Squad.”
"Yes, sir!" The Monkey King was overjoyed when he heard that. He solemnly saluted and replied.
This shocked the people in the Third Platoon. The First and Second Platoons knew that the Monkey King had risked his life to lure out the bandits, but the Third Platoon did not know. As for what kind of person Wang Wukong was, they were all from the same village. He was just a person who was idle and liked to play tricks. How could such a person be an official? And vice class monitor? All of them felt that they were much stronger than the Monkey King. They would definitely be able to make a great contribution if they went. This made all of them burst with endless hope.
One had to know that Su Zhenze had never appointed a deputy platoon leader or deputy squad leader before. Firstly, he felt that there were no combat missions at the moment. Moreover, these platoon leaders and squad leaders could complete the training and command tasks on their own. Secondly, it was to serve as a certain incentive. These deputy positions would definitely give everyone hope and make them work harder during training or combat.
"Li Quan, step forward!"
" You will be rewarded with 30 dollars for killing three bandits. You will be appointed as the vice squad leader of Second Platoon First Squad…"
After a series of very rich rewards, everyone was now eager for Su Zhenze to give the battle order again.
Su Zhenze, who had noticed this scene, realized that the situation was developing in the direction he had hoped for and said loudly.
"Alright, we will now issue a new battle plan. Second Platoon will stay behind at Xiayang Dam and train the newly captured Hanyang Zao. Hand over the Mauser guns to First Platoon and Second Platoon, and at the same time, defend the direction of Su Village!”
"Second Platoon, Third Platoon! The battle plan would be carried out from the afternoon onwards, and the specific instructions would be kept confidential!”
