According to the previous agreement, after replacing the second platoon with the third platoon, Su Zhenze first trained the Self-Defense Forces until the afternoon before setting off with the first and second platoons.
……
Twin Dragon Mountain was located 30 kilometers away from the Su Family Residence. It was not as steep as Tiger Head Ridge, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was just an ordinary mountain-shaped terrain. The bandits entrenched in Twin Dragon Mountain only relied on their 30-odd people and 30-odd guns. They had the advantage in numbers.
Regarding this group of bandits, Su Zhenze did not have any extra plans. He directly led his men to sneak up on them and take advantage of their lack of vigilance to directly destroy them.
Seeing that it was already late, Su Zhenze and the rest who were lying in ambush at the Twin Dragon Mount could hear the bandits eating and drinking. However, all the sounds slowly died down. Su Zhenze knew that the bandits had fallen asleep after eating and drinking. He could not help but curse them for being idiots. His colleague gestured to everyone and took the lead to touch them.
After quietly getting rid of the two sleepy bandits, Su Zhenze led the Self-Defense Forces to their stronghold. They saw a group of bandits hugging wine cans in the meeting hall and sleeping soundly.
After Su Zhenze made a throat-cutting gesture at everyone, he tiptoed toward the group of drunk bandits. With a swing of his hand and a slash of his blade, a bandit's life was reaped.
The first platoon of the Self-Defense Forces had seen blood and killed people before, so they were naturally very fast. When they saw these bandits, they felt that they were pieces of money, so they followed behind Su Zhenze and quickly harvested the lives of the bandits. This was the first time the third platoon had seen such a bloody scene. However, when they thought of the bandits who usually did all kinds of evil, they gritted their teeth and followed behind Su Zhenze, trembling as they quickly touched the bandits 'necks with their knives.
" There are still more than ten people..." Su Zhenze looked around. More than twenty bandits had died, but the smell of blood was increasing. He did not know when these bandits would be awakened by this smell.
Su Zhenze immediately changed his strategy. He gestured for everyone to stop and raised his gun to shoot at these people.
Su Zhenze took out the Gru pistol hanging on his waist and gestured for everyone to start aiming and shooting. The crisp sound of the gun shattered the bandits 'dream. When they woke up and saw the seventy to eighty people standing in front of them shooting at them, it was too late to defend. In an instant, more than eighty bullets penetrated their bodies. Su Zhenze ignored the screams of the bandits. After two rounds, the remaining bandits were all dead.
Since then, the bandit gang on the Twin Dragon Mount had been destroyed, and two of the five bandit nests around the Su Residence had been destroyed.
Su Zhenze once again ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield. Compared to the Third Platoon who was uncomfortable facing such a bloody scene, the soldiers of the First Platoon were much more calm. They skillfully searched the corpses and disarmed them.
The First Platoon Leader and the Third Platoon Leader were gathered around Su Zhenze to discuss the next battle plan. The Third Platoon Leader, Zhang Dahai, was especially enthusiastic about persuading Su Zhenze to take advantage of the situation and destroy another bandit lair not far away. He also understood that his Self-Defense Forces were simply crushing the bandits. Under Su Zhenze's command, they easily wiped them out.
Su Zhenze was also a little tempted, but after listening to the words of his trusted platoon leader, Wang Yongxiang, he rejected it. He felt that the soldiers had been waiting for the whole night and were already tired. Moreover, the new recruits in Third Platoon would definitely need to be appeased when they saw such a scene. It was not suitable for them to attack again tonight.
Soon, all the spoils of war were found and placed in the bandits 'meeting hall. Everyone looked at this scene excitedly. They did not expect these bandits to be so rich.
There were more than 50 Hanyang products, some bullets, 20 gold bars, 60,000 yuan, some precious furs, and more than 40 horses. Everyone's eyes turned red. They had never seen so much money in their lives!
"Today's operation went very well. The first and third platoons performed well. When we return to the camp tomorrow, I will definitely reward these meritorious soldiers in person!”
Su Zhenze concluded in a timely manner, promising that he would reward those who had made contributions generously to ease everyone's hearts. Then, he let everyone take a seat and rest.
Meanwhile, Su Zhenze was thinking about his next plan alone. He was not too worried about the 40 - 50 attack from the other group tomorrow, but he had to think about what to do after that.
If three of the five bandit groups in the vicinity suddenly stopped moving, it would definitely alert the other two larger bandit groups. It would be difficult if they thought that the government had sent troops to eliminate them and joined forces.
There were more than 90 bandits on one side and more than 100 bandits on the other side. If they followed the plan they had made before and attacked the bandits near the Su Family Residence according to the scale of the attack, they could easily eliminate the small bandits. However, it would definitely not be easy to launch a surprise attack against a hundred or so bandits. Moreover, it would be difficult to not attract attention in such a large-scale conflict. Moreover, the casualties would definitely be huge.
Su Zhenze felt that the original plan was not going to work. He had to think of another plan, but Su Zhenze already had some ideas.
The next day, under the cover of the night, Su Zhenze led First Platoon and Second Platoon to another bandit lair ten kilometers away.
With the first platoon as the vanguard and the second platoon as the rear, the bandits were still very negligent in their defense. After removing the sentry post, the Self-Defense Forces successfully raided and eliminated the bandits. After cleaning up the battlefield and counting the people, they brought their spoils of war and headed to the Su family residence.
……
Everyone was very depressed on the way back, but on the way back, many of them had their hands stuffed with spoils of war. They led their horses and carried their equipment as they hurried back, their faces filled with confidence and satisfaction.
Su Zhenze looked at his high-spirited army and could not help but nod. Now, the entire company had developed a mentality that was not afraid of war. This was a very good starting point. They had the appearance of a strong army. If they used this Self-Defense Force as the backbone to expand in the future, the recruited troops would definitely inherit their iron-blooded will.
However, the Self-Defense Forces had not done enough yet. They had not yet formed an iron will. At the very least, they had to wait until he had completely eliminated the bandits in this area and led them to fight head-on. Only then could they be considered to be on par with a regular army that had just begun to take shape.
However, there was not much time left before the pests were completely eliminated. Su Zhenze already had a plan. He only needed to train the team again and digest the results of the battle. As for the remaining bandits, if everything went well, they would no longer be a concern. They would not be able to survive for more than two days.
