Since ancient times, the Heavenly Mountains had been a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The north was surrounded by water, the south was a cliff, and the east was a desolate land. Most of it was swamps, and it was difficult for ten people to get out.
Fragrant Dragon Mountain Village, Pagoda Ravine Mountain Village, and Great Fourth House Mountain Village were sitting on the Heavenly Mountains, forming a triangle with each other.
The Three Great Mountain Strongholds were also one of the largest bandit dens in the Liaoyang region.
The three families were located in the east, south, and north respectively. The only way to enter the mountain was through the western mountain path.
This was also the reason why the three highwaymen's nests could stay here for so long.
Once a large group of people went up the mountain, they would immediately be discovered by the people of the three great villages.
The surrounding forest was filled with sentries from the three great villages.
Once there was any movement, it could not be hidden at all.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Xuefeng led the soldiers of the 38th Regiment to the Wang Family Village, five miles away from the Heavenly Mountains.
Zhang Xuefeng sensed that something was wrong the moment he entered the village.
" Leader, there's no one in the village." The soldiers of the 38th Regiment walked around the village and hurried back.
Zhang Xuefeng's expression was a little ugly.
Standing at the entrance of the village, one could feel the deathly stillness of the entire village.
There was no sign of anger.
The barking of dogs and the neighing of livestock were not heard at all.
"We went into a few houses and the food on the table fell to the ground. The food in the house was gone.”
The scout soldier clenched his fists.
At this point, everyone knew the meaning behind his words.
Most of the members of the 38th Regiment had experienced such a thing.
Many years ago, it was because of this that they joined Li Yongquan's bandit lair, turning from farmers into soldiers who used guns to make a living.
"This village is gone."
There were nearly a hundred households in the entire village.
It was gone just like that.
"Something's wrong. As far as I know, every village that the Japanese pass through will leave behind the corpses of the villagers. Why were there no corpses in this village?”Li Yongquan frowned.
This was not in line with their style.
It was understandable if it was just the woman who was gone.
But even the man was gone?
This meant that the group of ghosts did not come to the Heavenly Mountains to wipe them out.
Instead, he had an unspeakable secret.
They also needed labor.
Zhang Xuefeng frowned, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Perhaps this battle isn't as difficult as we thought. Li Yongquan, bring a few smart ones with good limbs and follow me. Let the others camp here first. If anyone comes near before we return, capture them immediately.”
Touching his nose, Zhang Xuefeng's eyes revealed a hint of playfulness.
Li Yongquan was a little confused.
What did this mean?
Not directly?
"Don't ask so many questions. Just follow me.”
The three provinces of Fengtian were truly blessed places. There were coal, gold, iron, and oil.
One of the iron mines was the largest iron mine province in the country.
The iron mine was located in this area.
If this was true, then he would have the most important resources to build the arsenal.
The Japanese probably received the news and discovered the iron mine on the Tongtian Ridge.
They wanted to take advantage of the fact that Feng Jun was not stable to occupy the entire Tongtian Ridge.
No wonder he was so mysterious.
First, he had to plant someone in to confirm if the iron ore here really existed.
If it was true, they would negotiate with Commander Zhang at all costs and turn Tongtian Ridge into the territory of the devils.
If not, he would find an excuse to retreat.
According to the current technology, it would take about a day to explore the iron ore.
In other words, regardless of whether there was a ghost or not, at most today, a ghost would go to the marshal's residence to explain.
Dream on.
Come and go as he pleases?
Did he really think that this was his backyard?
Li Yongquan picked out five people.
Including him and Zhang Xuefeng, there were a total of seven people.
The rest of them entered the village to rest.
The seven of them arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Mountain in less than 20 minutes.
"Captain, there's a checkpoint up ahead.”
A few hundred meters away from the entrance of the mountain, a few Japanese were walking back and forth.
From afar, there was a checkpoint every 100 meters.
Three people were stationed at each checkpoint.
He was really cautious!
Luckily, he didn't bring the 38th Regiment over.
Otherwise, they would have been discovered before they arrived.
"What should we do? Fight?" Li Yongquan lay on the grass and whispered to Student Zhang.
"Hit your sister! You only know how to fight head-on all day long." Zhang Xuefeng took a deep breath as he looked at the Tongtian Ridge.
If they just rushed up like this, many people would probably die before they reached the mountain.
"Side Mission: Kill the first Japanese. Reward: Japanese Language (Proficient)"
Zhang Xuefeng's eyes lit up when he heard the system mission in his mind.
Damn it, you really understand my heart!
"Slowly, I have to kill a Japanese first.”
After saying that, Zhang Xuefeng pointed at the last two warriors."The two of you go back and ask the people from the 38th Regiment to come over and hide in the forest on both sides. When there was a sound on the mountain, they could attack. Remember, try your best to open the way with grenades. I don't lack money. Life is always more important than grenades.”
After Zhang Xuefeng finished speaking, he led Li Yongquan and the remaining four people slowly toward the Japanese soldiers at the first checkpoint.
