Chapter 437 Gu Changfeng is here
At the foot of Liu Heiqi Village, in the dense woods.
Just as Yoshiko Nakajima and her group walked away, Gu Changfeng came out with Yang Zhenhua and Xiao Wu.
It was also a coincidence that Gu Changfeng had just arrived with his troops and was planning to investigate before taking action against the bandits at three or four in the morning. The appearance of Yoshiko Nakajima and her group made him change his mind.
It was obvious that this group of men in black were well-trained. They visited secretly in the middle of the night, and each of them was carrying a large box, which looked like munitions or something like that.
So, Gu Changfeng prepared to observe it for a while longer.
"Xiao Wu, you should personally follow them with two teams and keep an eye on them to see who they are. You have to be careful, this group of people doesn't look simple."
"Zhenhua, the troops should retreat to Taihang Mountain. Don't let these people find you."
"Yes, Brigade Commander!" The two men responded one after another and went down to make arrangements.
Gu Changfeng touched his chin and looked at Yoshiko Nakajima and her group with unfocused eyes, but his mind was thinking about the group of bandits in the mountains.
The water inside seemed to be much deeper than he had previously imagined. Before figuring out the situation, he planned to wait and see.
"Changfeng, why don't you just capture these people? Looking at their appearance, I'm 80% sure they are definitely Japanese devils."
Watching Xiaowu and Yang Zhenhua leave, Liu Dazhuang leaned forward and asked.
Gu Changfeng glanced at Liu Dazhuang and whispered, "I think it's the devils too, but it's easy to capture them. Our subsequent profits will be gone. There are only about twenty devils, not much profit."
When Liu Dazhuang heard this, he seemed to have guessed what Gu Changfeng was thinking. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You mean to use the bandits in the mountains to lure out the Japanese as well, and then catch them all in one fell swoop?"
"Hehe!" Gu Changfeng laughed slyly, "When fishing, there are always times when you can't catch anything. Anyway, we're not in a hurry. If we can catch something, that's the best. If not, we can just pull the net in."
"If these people are devils, their purpose is very likely to recruit these bandits."
There are more than 270 special forces team members, plus Yang Zhenhua's regiment. Even if he has any ideas about Yuci, he can do it now.
The Japanese are in the open and he is in the dark, so don't panic at all!
Liu Dazhuang understood. It was just a matter of trying a few times to see if there was any result. Anyway, they were strong and had enough supplies to consume. They could afford to wait for a while.
Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Dazhuang and ordered, "You take the team and keep an eye on them here. I'll go up the mountain and take a look."
Liu Dazhuang was unhappy when he heard this. What status did he have to take such a risk? He immediately interrupted and said, "Changfeng, you are the brigade commander now. This is too dangerous. Let me go. Your safety is more important!"
Gu Changfeng patted Liu Dazhuang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You know nothing. I have to go up and find out the bottom line of these bandits. Are you going to burn down the whole mountain?"
"Don't talk about other things. I brought you all here. Just follow my orders."
After saying this, Gu Changfeng ignored Liu Dazhuang and ran towards the mountain stronghold alone.
Liu Dazhuang looked at Gu Changfeng's receding back speechlessly, shook his head and sighed: "You are already the brigade commander and you are still taking risks. Don't you know that the independent brigade can't do without you!"
In fact, Gu Changfeng rarely took action himself since coming to Jin. This time he just felt itchy and wanted to go and see it himself.
Moreover, this group of bandits actually alarmed the Japanese. Obviously, there were many inside stories that he didn't know. He felt that he had to go there in person.
If this group of bandits wanted to surrender to the Japanese, then he would not have to hold back and would just shoot them all.
If not, it would be okay to let some people go and let them fight the Japanese on the battlefield. After all, he had recruited a group of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops from Wen Jiayi before, and they were no worse than the soldiers he brought from Nanjing on the battlefield later.
On the mountain, as soon as Nakajima and his men left, Liu Heiqi gathered a group of key members who were drinking and gambling to discuss something.
"Brothers, please speak up. We are all old brothers. This matter concerns the future of more than 2,000 of us brothers. Everyone, please speak up today and put forward your ideas."
Liu Heiqi, who was sitting in the top seat, spoke lightly.
"Boss, if that's the case, I, Yang Dashan, have something to say."
Yang Dashan, the second-in-command, stood up and looked at Liu Heiqi and said, "We can't afford to offend the Jinsui Army, the Eighth Route Army, or the Japs, but we are not to the point of being dogs to the Japs."
"Going into the city to drink and eat meat is bullshit. The Japanese have been beaten to a pulp. It's hard to say who will rule the world in the end."
"Besides, if we enter the city, our lives will be in the hands of the Japanese. If they ask us brothers to be cannon fodder, who would dare to refuse?"
"I feel that we brothers are very comfortable now. We live freely and can do whatever we want."
Hearing this, Liu Heiqi's face showed no expression. He continued calmly, "Second Brother, do you think they will let us go if we rob the Eighth Route Army of their supplies?"
"Also, the Japs have already set their sights on us. How could they let this go?"
Yang Dashan glared and said, "Boss, our Qingyun Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If that really comes to that, I, Yang Dashan, will personally lead my brothers to fight them."
"Also, even if we can't hold on here, we can still evacuate to the Taihang Mountains. There are mountains all around here, and it will be difficult for the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army to find us."
"Stay for ten days or half a month. When things are over, it's not like we can't come back."
Yang Dashan's words were recognized by some bandits, and Gu Changfeng, who came up from the back mountain, heard it clearly.
This bandit is not bad, at least he has no intention of being a dog for the Japanese. As long as he doesn't act like a dog for the Japanese, he can naturally be saved.
Just as Gu Changfeng was thinking, someone in the hall began to feel unhappy. He stood up and said, "Second Master, we brothers have finally found a place to relax, but now we have to go back to the old forest. Haven't you had enough of the old forest?"
The person who spoke was the third in command of this gang of bandits, Chang Yungui. He held a high status in the village, second only to Liu Heiqi and Yang Dashan, so he had the qualifications to speak out against Yang Dashan.
Another point is that he and Yang Dashan are not on good terms. If he does not object to Yang Dashan's suggestion, it would be unfair to the previous hatred between the two.
"Third brother, tell us what you think too. Everyone can speak freely tonight!"
Although Liu Heiqi essentially let Chang Yungui speak, his underlying intention was to tell others that he still had the final say in the entire village.
Chang Yungui was a rather sinister person, and he had no psychological burden about betraying his ancestors. When he heard the boss ask him to speak, he spoke directly.
"Boss, brothers, I think with our strength, we can't afford to offend the Japs, and we can't afford to offend the Eighth Route Army either."
"But brothers, I have something to say. Everyone, think about this. Now most of China is in the hands of the devils, and the Eighth Route Army is just staying in the mountains and barely surviving."
"The so-called great victory in Jinzhong was accomplished by the independent regiment that was incorporated into the Central Army. But how many such troops are there in China?"
"The Japs haven't really taken action. If they really were to get serious, how many Chinese troops would be able to hold out?"
"In my opinion, the future of China will belong to the devils. If we follow the devils now, we will definitely be considered as following the dragon in the future."
"China is so big, by then the devils will have to rely on us to govern!"
After Chang Yungui finished speaking, he signaled with his eyes to Qian San, the fifth in command on the opposite side.
Qian Sanben and Chang Yungui were on the same page, so he took over the conversation decisively: "Boss, I agree with Third Brother's opinion. Isn't it good to stay in the county town and enjoy the good life? Anyway, I've had enough of the old forest."
"Brothers, once we get to the city, we can go to the brothels. Isn't having women there better than hiding in the mountains?"
When the other bandits saw that both of them had spoken, they all began to agree, and they acted as if they were the bosses in the city.
