The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

What Zhang Liechen and the others don't know is that now several staff officers have been killed by bandits, and now the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao is still alive.

Now facing the bandits, the lion opened its mouth wide. Zhang Liechen and the others were all frowning, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Du Jiang, the intelligence staff officer who escaped from the bandits, looked at everyone like this, and pulled the deputy captain Zhang Liechen aside.

"Mr. Zhang, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not." Intelligence staff officer Du Jiang hesitated for a moment, then spoke tentatively.

Seeing Du Jiang's hesitation on the part of the intelligence staff, Zhang Liechen was also very puzzled, and finally said: "They are all brothers of our own family. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"It's like this. When Chief Yuan and we broke through to Xiaoshan Village, Chief Yuan called us staff officers for a small meeting. At the meeting, Chief Yuan wanted to take us to Nanjing..."

Although the intelligence staff officer Du Jiang didn't finish his words, the meaning was already expressed very clearly, that is, the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao already had the intention of defecting to the enemy and becoming a traitor.

If this is true, then Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, can completely ignore the life and death of the Subei Guerrilla Corps. After all, there is no need to waste time and energy to save a traitor.

"Who else knows about this?"

Zhang Liechen asked after hearing what the intelligence staff officer Du Jiang said.

"Except for me and a few people who were in the meeting at that time, no outsiders knew about it." Du Jiang replied [-].

After Zhang Liechen thought about it, he ordered, "You should keep this matter a secret first. After all, it involves a lot of importance. If everyone finds out, it will inevitably make people's hearts flutter. At this juncture, it is not appropriate to say anything about it."

"Yes!" Du Jiang nodded and agreed.

"Then can we still save it?"

"People must be rescued. After all, they are considered members of our Northern Subei Corps. After we rescue them, we will ask again. If there is something that surrenders to the enemy, it is beyond our ability to deal with it. The only way is to hand him over to the military court in the theater. Let the commander decide."

Hearing the words of deputy chief Zhang Liechen, the intelligence staff also knew that this was the only way to do it now.

"Did you really agree to the conditions for the bandits?" Du Jiang asked.

Zhang Liechen shook his head and said: "These materials are the capital of our comeback, how can it be cheaper for a group of bandits."

"Then how do we save people?"

Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, quickly came up with a plan: "Pretend to promise the bandits first, find a place for us to trade, and then send people to ambush them secretly. After they are rescued, we will wipe out this group of bandits by the way, lest they cause disasters in the village in the future." .”

"That's the only way to do it now."

"You guys make up your mind, discuss the details, and I'll go and agree to the bandits." After Zhang Liechen finished speaking, he went to reply to the bandits.

Soon, Zhang Liechen saw the bandits again, and said what he wanted.

"Refreshing, as long as you prepare the things we want, you can guarantee that your vice-captain will be sent back alive." The bandit was also very happy, and did not expect it to go so smoothly.

"Not only must it be alive, but it must also be intact." Zhang Liechen warned.

"Good talk, good talk."

Text Chapter 230 Seventh Redemption

When the bandits who sent the message went back, the bandits in Heilangzhai quickly sent someone again to inform Zhang Liechen and the others of the location of the redemption the next day.

Zhang Liechen and the others also made preparations overnight, calling a group of young men to prepare food and supplies, and at the same time replenished ammunition for the officers and soldiers of the two companies involved in the operation, preparing to counter-kill the bandits.

That night, the people from the Intelligence Department quietly found a nearby guide to lead the way, figured out the terrain near the redemption site, and drew a sketch.

The people in these intelligence departments have all received special training, and drawing is considered the most basic subject.

The deputy captain Zhang Liechen analyzed the planned retreat location of the bandits based on the sketch drawn by the intelligence staff, and sent the deputy battalion commander Wang Dong to lead people to ambush ahead of time along the road where the bandits might retreat.

Nothing happened overnight, and at dawn the next day, the deputy captain Zhang Liechen personally took the intelligence chief Liu Sheng and staff officer Du Jiang to the agreed place with the supplies, food and ammunition ordered by the bandits.

The trading place chosen by the bandits in Heilangzhai was very tricky. It was right by an unnamed river, and the only bridge leading to the other side of the river was controlled by the bandits.

The bandits are not fools either, and the place they chose for this transaction was also well thought out.

They leaned against a river and guarded the only bridge. It can be said that they can advance, attack and retreat. If the deal is completed and the bridge is blown up, it will be difficult for Zhang Liechen and the others to cross the river and pursue them for a while.

Although the bandits had a good plan, they ignored the fact that their opponent was no longer a mob of bandits, but an army. How could they be so easy to deal with.

More than 100 bandits stood guard by the river, lying on the ground one by one, aiming their guns at the other side of the river.

At the moment of spring flood, the river is full of rolling turbid waves, making it hard to see the depth.

Jiao Chong, the head of the Black Wolf Village, led dozens of bandits and stood at the head of the bridge with machine guns. Once they found out that Zhang Liechen and the others were cheating, they could immediately cross the river along the bridge and blow up the bridge to tear up the ticket.

"The masters, the masters, the group of soldiers are here."

Jiao Chong, the head of the Black Wolf Village, didn't have to wait long when a panting bandit came galloping from a distance.

"How many are they here?"

Hearing that Zhang Liechen and the others had come as scheduled, the bandit leaders became excited, while Jiao Chong, the head of the family, seemed much calmer.

"There are nearly 200 people, all young and strong without guns, and there are only about 20 soldiers." The bandit reported in detail.

"Do they have tails following them?"

The leader, Lao Jiu, felt uneasy and continued to ask.

"We looked, and there was no tail following."

"That's strange, these soldiers are so willing to be blackmailed by us?"

The leader, Lao Jiu, faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

"Hmph, their vice-captain is in our hands, and they don't dare to play tricks. Besides, even if they dare to play tricks, don't we have backups?" A bandit leader said nonchalantly.

"That's true, if they dare to play tricks, then don't blame us for being cruel!" The eyes of the boss, Lao Jiu, were full of cold and murderous intent.

It didn't take long for Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, and the others to arrive at the river, and stopped at a distance of more than [-] meters from the bandits.

"We brought things, people?"

Looking at the bandits who had been prepared for a long time, Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, didn't talk nonsense.

Jiao Chong, the leader of the Black Wolf Village, waved his hand to the back, and a man in a dirty black officer's uniform with a black hood over his head was pushed out.

A bandit took off the black cover, revealing the face of the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao, but his mouth was gagged and he couldn't speak.

"What about the rest of us?"

Seeing that Yuan Guangtao was the only vice captain, Zhang Liechen frowned.

"They are ignorant and have been killed." The bandit said indifferently.
