Chen Feng was filled with indignation when he saw the introduction of Liu Heiqi in the telegram. He felt that he could not wait any longer:

"Emergency assembly"!

The eight members of the training team knew that their captain was tinkering with the radio and thought that he was going to fight the Japanese again. They gathered together in an instant and waited for Chen Feng to issue the combat mission.

"Before the order is given, let me introduce a person first. I think everyone has heard of Liu Guitang, Liu Heiqi."

Except for Wu Tianxiang from Sichuan, everyone else said in unison:

"heard about it."

There is no Shandong person who doesn't know Liu Heiqi. He killed countless people and committed many evil things in his life. Many people would even cry when the mention of Liu Heiqi came to mind.

"Liu Heiqi has now surrendered to the Japanese and is burning, killing and looting north of Linyi..."

After Chen Feng introduced the situation, the team went wild:

"Captain, give the order! We must get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Captain, how do we fight?"

"Captain, this Liu Heiqi is so hateful, even more vicious than the Japanese. Give the orders."

Chen Feng signaled the team members to calm down:

"We must fight, but Liu Heiqi has nearly 3,000 men under his command, so we must act with caution. Order:

"Stop training now and go back to Wang Hanqiang's home to rest. Set out again after dark. Zhang Liang and Ding San will go back to Beizhuang to collect horses. Make sure each person has two horses. We will make a long raid tonight and must reach Linyi before tomorrow afternoon. After arriving, we will gather information. To avoid any more trouble, we should try to act tomorrow night. Each person should carry a submachine gun and three bases of bullets. In addition, prepare a large amount of thin wire. Wrap the guns and bullets and do not expose them. After arrival, we will arrange the combat mission according to the deployment of Liu Hei's seven divisions. Set off now."

The team went down the mountain and walked in groups of three or four instead of taking the main road. The seven of them went to Wang Hanqiang's house, ate some food and then rested immediately. They had just returned for two days and had no proper training yet, but now they had to fight again. However, the team members had no complaints. They just wanted to kill Liu Heiqi as soon as possible and give an explanation to the people who were oppressed and killed.

At dusk, nine people and eighteen horses quietly left Beizhuang and began to gallop along the main road. The sound of horse hooves was very deafening at night, but no one dared to go out to check. Those who were riding horses at this time were either rebel soldiers or bandits.

They changed horses every 20 miles, and the speed of one person riding two horses was very fast. At dawn, the team arrived at a small town called Mazhuang. The nine people did not hide, smashed a restaurant and ordered the cooking and feeding of horses. The shopkeeper trembled and asked the waiter to take care of the horses. He did not dare to let his wife show up. He prepared a table of good meat and dishes, ready to send these bandits away quickly, and kept reminding himself not to stare at their faces, hoping that they would not be interested in his shop! In the chaos of war, there was no place to report to the authorities.

After twenty minutes, the team members were full and asked the shopkeeper to prepare some dry food. The shopkeeper quickly packed a bag of large pancakes and sealed a bag of braised meat with thick hemp paper.

Chen Feng asked the team members to take it, threw a small yellow croaker on the table and led the team away.

Seeing a group of bandits riding away, the shopkeeper spat, "You bastard, not only did they eat and take, but they also threw a fake to fool me. Is it necessary?" He was about to throw away the copper-plated iron block. It looked annoying. He picked it up and felt something was wrong. He bit it with his teeth and knocked it carefully. "Little yellow croaker?" When did the bandits become so generous? But this was a pleasant surprise. He quickly put it away and hid it.

The team rushed for another two hours and heard the roar of cannons coming from the direction of Linyi in the distance. They found a farmer in a place called Tusu Village, stored their horses with him, threw twenty dollars to ask him to take good care of the horses, and then started moving towards the north of Linyi city.

While inquiring for information, they advanced forward. Liu Heiqi had not yet reached this place and was still active in the tea mountain area. However, many wealthy families and landlords began to flee westward. Once the Japanese army captured Linyi City, this place was so close to Linyi that they would definitely be killed.

The team inquired about the route and continued to advance towards the tea mountain. After walking more than ten miles, they saw a situation. A group of yellow-skinned dogs were pushing large and small carts and heading northeast. They were probably Liu Heiqi's troops, who were out to rob supplies again.

The team members were eager to try. Dozens of them fired a barrage of shots, making sure that no one would be left alive. Chen Feng did not give the order as it was not appropriate to take action now as it would easily alert the enemy. He ordered the team to hide and keep a distance from these idiots. They were pushing supplies and must be going back to the base.

In Wujiazhuangzi, more than 200 households fled. Liu Heiqi ordered the troops to be stationed here three days ago. It was five or six miles away from the imperial army's attack line and was very safe. The remaining national troops in the rear had been cleared out by the Sakamoto Detachment. At most, there were some wounded soldiers hiding, which posed no threat to Liu Heiqi.

Seeing that it was noon, the brothers were preparing to eat. There were eight dishes and a soup on the table in front of him, and a pot of hot wine. Liu Heiqi had suffered a lot when he was a child. Since he became rich, he never wronged himself. Now that he is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, he has become even more arrogant and will not eat anything but delicious food or drink anything but good wine.

The adjutant, who was also his former brother, prepared the wine and food, bowed his head and said flatteringly:

"Commander-in-chief, the food and wine are ready. Please take a look. Are you satisfied?"

Liu Heiqi glanced and waved his hand, and the adjutant quickly withdrew. The commander-in-chief hated being disturbed the most whether he was enjoying a meal or resting. Except for his own Japanese father, even the most trusted brothers did not dare to disturb the commander.

After the meal, the adjutant came in to clean up the mess and asked who the lunch delicacies would be given to. Liu Heiqi said:

"Give it to the 12th Company! They stole the most food and treasures yesterday."

Liu Heiqi has been a bandit for more than ten years and knows how to win people's hearts. The brothers follow him just to get promoted and make money. Leftovers are also one of the means to win them over. Even though they are just leftovers, all the brothers are proud to eat the commander's food.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the brothers who had been out sweeping began to return slowly. The village was in chaos. Food, cattle, sheep, gold, silver, treasures, chickens, ducks and geese were all what they had swept. The brothers who were not satisfied with their harvest were still sweeping outside, but they would all rush back before dark to join the feast of wine and meat.

The commando team followed Er Gouzi, who was escorting supplies, and successfully arrived at Wujiazhuang. They ambushed in a dead tree forest high up and observed the situation in the village. The whole village was in a mess because of Er Gouzi and some bandits who were not even able to get on the scene.

Starting at two o'clock, sporadic teams kept coming back, with the least seven or eight people and the most having dozens of people. They were exactly the same as what Chen Feng had seen on TV in his previous life. They didn't look like soldiers or human beings. They pushed food on the carts and had chickens and ducks on their guns. They didn't have any sense of vigilance. Even though one team was only a few dozen meters away from where the commandos were lurking, no one paid attention to the meaningless dead woods.

After the Japanese returned to the village, they started to get busy, some killing chickens, some slaughtering sheep. In their eyes, the food and livestock that the people depended on for survival were a delicious meal in the evening.

The commandos were furious, but without the captain's orders, they all hid obediently.
