    After two days of investigation, we finally got a rough idea of ??the situation near Jiagu Mountain.

    According to the investigation, there are about sixty smuggling teams composed of bandits and salt gangsters near Jiagu Mountain. Regardless of their strength, these people are all armed with guns, and because they have always lived a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife,  , dare to make a killing blow in a battle, so the combat effectiveness is very strong.

    Among these gangs, the one with the largest power and the largest number of people is Liu Guitang¡¯s group entrenched in Hengshan Mountain, followed by Feng Laopao¡¯s group entrenched in Shuangzi Mountain.

    Both groups of bandits have no less than 2,000 men, but the remaining bandits are far different. Most of them only have 300 to 500 men, and some even have only 30 to 50 men.

    After finding out the situation, Li Guoyao immediately summoned Gu Mingtang, Zhu Hong and others to come to a meeting to discuss the battle plan.

    In the cave, several officers were sitting on the ground, each holding an enamel tea jar in their hands, which was filled with freshly boiled tea.

    In addition, there is a huge newspaper next to the map in the middle. On top of the newspaper are these dry biscuits. This is the dry food for Li Guoyao and others.

    Eating dry food and drinking tea, the whole group of people didn¡¯t feel any pain at all.

    It¡¯s normal to not have enough food during a war. It¡¯s really great to have a hot bite. What more do you ask for!

    After drinking all the tea in the teapot, Li Guoyao said immediately: "Brothers, the situation is roughly like this. There are so many bandits around Jiagu Mountain. The big ones include Liu Guitang and Feng Laopao, each with two troops.  There are about a thousand people occupying a territory of hundreds of miles around Hengshan and Shuangzi Mountains, and the rest are all petty thieves who are vulnerable to attack, so everyone should think about how to fight this battle!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingtang said: "Let's not talk about how to fight. The first thing we need to determine now is who to fight first. Whether to fight from weak to strong or strong first and then weak. The goals are different, and the tactics are naturally different!"

    "Captain Gu is right. If we attack the small cottages first, the brothers don't even need to plan together. We can go straight up the mountain and make sure we hit them accurately. But if we want to attack the large cottages, we need to plan carefully.  That¡¯s it!¡± Zhu Hong said.

    Li Guoyao thought for a while and said: "If you want to fight, just fight at Dazhaizi. We are not old ladies eating persimmons. We are here to check the soft ones! Brothers, this battle is mainly to establish prestige. Naturally, we have to kill these bandits in one fell swoop."  Keep it under control, so as not to cause trouble for us in the future!"

    "Commander, do you plan to attack Liu Guitang's or Feng Laopao's first?" Zhu Hong asked immediately.

    "Liu Guitang's Department!"

    "Why Liu Guitang's department? In comparison, Feng Laopao's department is not only closer to us, but also relatively weaker. I think Hengshan Village is more suitable!" Zhu Hong replied.

    However, Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "From a military point of view, this is indeed the case, but in addition to the military aspect, we also have to consider politics when fighting a war!"

    "Commander, I don't understand what you're saying. Isn't it just an encirclement and suppression of a bandit village? Why does it have to do with politics?"

    Li Guoyao smiled, and then asked: "Do you know the purpose of putting you in this place where birds don't shit?"

    "Isn't it just to make money as a private salt dealer?"

    "Haha, making money is just the simplest purpose. In fact, it is to fight against the little devils!" Li Guoyao said.

    "I know, Commander, you've said it before, but what does this have to do with suppressing bandits?"

    "War is never an end, but a means. Just like war is always a continuation of politics. War will only break out when problems cannot be solved at the negotiation table. Therefore, our suppression of bandits is not simply to establish prestige, but for fun.  Better to fight the devils!"

    Seeing that everyone seemed a little confused, Li Guoyao smiled and said, "Let me ask you, what do you need to fight the Japanese?"

    "Guns and bullets!"

    "Weaponry!"

    "Food supplies!"

    "Officers and soldiers!"

    ?¡­

    Li Guoyao signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "Everyone is right, fighting a war does require these things, especially soldiers and guns, which are the most important, but do you know where these weapons, equipment and soldiers' supplies come from?"

    "It was dialed by the headquarters!"

    Li Guoyao glanced at the officer who spoke and said, "If the headquarters really has this, I won't let you develop here!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "In fact, our army has never been funded by the peak. The weapons and equipment are captured by ourselves, and the soldiers are ours."We did it ourselves, and we all have to rely on ourselves!  "

    "Now you are about to develop in a place that is beyond the reach of the headquarters. It can be said that you are now a lonely army, with no logistical supplies, no friendly reinforcements, and no additional soldiers. Your soldiers are like stagnant water without a source. Each one will die and one will be lost.  , so you must create the conditions for fighting the Japanese."

    "Commander, does this have anything to do with suppressing bandits?"

    "Of course it matters, because the bandits have guns, people and money. As long as you recruit all the nearby bandits, there will be no shortage of men and guns, and you will have strong soldiers and horses to fight the Japanese!" Li Guoyao said.

    "But what does this have to do with whether to fight Liu Guitang or Feng Laopao?"

    ¡°Of course it does matter, because who we hit or who we don¡¯t hit is related to the people¡¯s support, and this is related to whether our department can gain a firm foothold in this region!¡±

    "People's support?"

    "Yes, it's the people's heart! They are both bandits, but their status in the minds of the people is different. For example, the heroes of Liangshan, they all do things for justice, so the people recognize them. But there are also some bandits who fight  Under the banner of upholding justice for heaven, what he does is kidnapping, extorting money and oppressing the countryside, and the biggest victims are the common people."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "These bandits who are causing trouble in the countryside are the targets of our attack. If we kill a group of such bandits, the common people will support us. As long as we have the support of the common people, then our stagnant water will have a source of water."  , it will never dry up," Li Guoyao said.

    "Commander, what you are saying is that Liu Guitang has a bad reputation in the eyes of the people. He is the kind of person who does many evil things, so we are using him to clear the way. Is this the reason?" Zhu Hong asked immediately.

    "Yes, this Liu Guitang is not someone who can be described as just someone who has done many evil things. That guy can be described as having so many crimes that it is impossible to describe them. If the local people pull out ten people, I am afraid that one of them will eat his flesh, drink his blood and skin him!"  "Li Guoyao said.

    "Commander, how come eleven out of ten people eat his flesh?"

    "The extra one is an innocent soul!" Li Guoyao said in a deep voice.

    "Is that guy really that bad?" Zhu Hong asked in surprise.

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Liu Guitang, nicknamed Liu Heiqi, is from Linyi, Shandong. His family was poor since he was a child, and he begged for food with his mother since he was a child. Because he has been hanging around in society all year round, he has developed the ability to get around in the world. Later, he became involved with the locals  There are eight ruffians who have sworn to be bandits. According to age, he ranks seventh. Because of his dark skin, he is called Liu Heiqi."

    "Liu Guitang has been very smart since he was a child, and he knows how to get into trouble. He claims to be the reincarnation of the black fish spirit and is invulnerable. He also made up a story: "One cow and one donkey breed farmland. Poor brothers and men play with me."  The slogan "The cows are in charge of the meal, and the money is mine in the tile-roofed buildings" attracted more poor peasants to join the gang, and the team grew rapidly. Later, Liu Hei Qigu was defeated by He Fengyu, the governor of Yanzhou, and he took refuge with Sun Meiyao, the largest bandit leader."

    "Afterwards, Sun Meiyao was recruited and killed, and Liu Heiqi naturally became the bandit leader. He and another gang leader, Zhang Heimian, took in thousands of demobilized bandits and caused trouble on the Sulu border. Soon, Zhang Heimian went south to Jiangsu,  Liu Heiqi stayed in Lunan, and the bandit gang grew to more than a thousand people, named "Liu Tuan" and called himself the leader. After that, Liu Heiqi's bandits robbed, raped, and killed in Tengxian, Linyi, Feixian, Mengyin and other places.  The crimes are numerous."

    "When Liu Heiqi was at his most rampant and prosperous, he had nearly 10,000 men and was the largest bandit in Shandong. He learned the name of the army and called himself division commander. Due to the large number of people and lack of management, his men often  In his name, he does some horrific things outside."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingtang said: "This guy is quite capable. If he can be incorporated into our service, he would be a good choice!"

    Zhu Hong also nodded and said: "To be able to recruit tens of thousands of people from a small gangster is indeed a big deal. If we can get this guy to surrender to us, it will be a great help!"

    However, Li Guoyao glanced at them and said lightly: "I don't dare to use this person!"
