"Nobi-kun, come on, have another drink." Bu Ruzhu said, putting her arm around Nobi-kun's waist.
"Bu-san, your overwhelming enthusiasm makes us such great friends." Nobita-kun's tongue was swollen from drinking, his mouth full of cherry blossom flavor.
"Yes, yes, my dear friend, I'll be relying on Nobi-kun's help from now on." Bu Ruzhu said with a face full of flattery.
“Bu Sang, no problem. Commander, you’re my friend. I’ll take care of you. There’s no problem.”
"Nobi-kun, just for those words, I'll drink this cup in one gulp." With that, Bu Ruzhu downed the drink in one go.
"Bu Sang, you have a really high alcohol tolerance. Hmm, I'll drink this too."
"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Nobi-sama choked. "Nobi-sama, drink slowly." Bu Ruzhu quickly patted Nobi-sama's back.
"Chinese liquor is absolutely fantastic! I love it so much! Japanese liquor, on the other hand, is just not good enough."
"I'm glad Nobi-kun is happy. When we go to the county town, I'll definitely ask Nobi-kun to drink with me often."
"吆西."
"Come on, Bu Sang, pour the wine. We won't leave until we're drunk."
"Hai," Bu Ruzhu replied in Japanese.
While they were drinking merrily, the company commander and his men had already quietly crept up there.
"Everyone, take cover. It's 10 o'clock now. In two hours, we'll launch the attack. Make sure to take out both the visible and hidden sentries as soon as possible," the company commander ordered.
"Company commander, don't worry, we've kept a close watch. I even saw some sentries dozing off."
"it is good."
Time passed slowly, and Bu Ruzhu and Nobita were completely drunk, lying unconscious on the table. The other bandit leaders were also drunk and slumped over the table.
Cao Yingjie, locked in the room, paced anxiously; he really didn't want to become a traitor.
"what sound!"
Suddenly, Cao Yingjie heard the sound of fighting outside the door, followed by the sound of the door being opened.
"Battalion Commander, it's me, Cao Yi. I've brought men to rescue you."
"Cao Yi, what brings you here?"
"Battalion Commander, more than 100 brothers in our battalion don't want to be traitors, so we've decided to rebel, go down the mountain, and join the local militia. We're better off not following that damned regimental commander."
"Damn it, how dare you become a traitor? How can you face the soldiers who died at the hands of the Japanese devils?"
"Commander, I've made all the arrangements. The guards at the entrance of the stronghold are all our own people, so let's go down the mountain without worry," Cao Yi continued.
"Where are the commander and the others?"
"Those bastards drank like dogs with the Japanese devils, completely unconscious."
"Are all the brothers armed?"
"Battalion Commander, everything's ready. I just seized the logistics, and the brothers have all their weapons. If they find out and a fight breaks out, we're not afraid," Cao Yi explained.
"In that case, why are we still running away? Let's just fight them, tie up the Japanese devils, and give the militia a pledge of allegiance."
“Especially those few Japanese devils, if we tie them up, we'll be surrendering with credit, and we'll be more likely to be promoted,” Cao Yingjie said.
"The battalion commander's considerations are indeed thorough."
"Give me the gun, and we'll go to the assembly hall and arrest the regimental commander and his men first."
"Yes." After saying that, Cao Yi handed the Mauser pistol he was carrying to Cao Yingjie.
"Brothers, let's go!" Cao Yingjie grabbed his gun and rushed towards the assembly hall.
"Who goes there?" The guards on duty looked at the dark mass of figures that appeared in front of them.
"It's me, Cao Yingjie."
"Battalion Commander Cao, weren't you locked up by the regimental commander? How did you get out? And what are you doing with so many men?" The guard on duty tensed up when he saw the other party's posture and raised his gun.
"Hehehe, what else can he do? Can't you tell? He's a traitor! I'd rather not be a traitor!"
While Cao Yingjie was speaking, Cao Yi led his men forward and quickly killed the guard on duty.
"Cao Yi, you take some men and guard the entrance, I'll take some men inside."
"Yes."
"Let's go." Cao Yingjie led more than 20 people into the house.
The people inside were all drunk, some lying on the floor, others slumped over the table, fast asleep, their snoring deafening.
Especially Bu Ruzhu, who was so drunk that she was lying on the ground sleeping with Nobi in her arms, their relationship looked very intimate.
"Pah! Disgusting!" Cao Yingjie exclaimed, his face contorted with revulsion.
"Men, tie them all up!"
"Yes, Battalion Commander." The soldiers he led each tied one of them securely with rope.
Suddenly, gunshots rang out outside, and Cao Yingjie quickly ran out.
"What's going on?" Cao Yingjie asked.
“I was discovered by Bu Ruzhu’s men, and they tried to open fire, but we shot them dead beforehand,” Cao Yi explained.
"Good, well done. Get ready for battle; their men should be here soon."
Upon hearing the gunshots, everyone in the mountain camp got up. Even the sentries who had been dozing off became alert and looked around vigilantly.
"Who fired the shot?" Tang Xiaohu hurriedly sent someone to ask.
"Report, Battalion Commander, is the sound coming from the mountain?"
"Huh? What tricks are these bandits up to now?" Tang Xiaohu was confused by the bandits' actions on the mountain.
"Notify the company commander to closely monitor the bandits' movements on the mountain."
The bandits on the mountain quickly learned what had happened.
Cao Yingjie has rebelled!
As a result, the officers captured by Cao Yingjie and their confidants led their men to attack the assembly hall, and gunfire erupted rapidly and fiercely.
"Damn, the bandits are fighting amongst themselves? Great opportunity! Notify the company commander to lead the attack immediately."
"Yes."
Upon receiving the order, the company commander immediately led his men to begin the attack.
As planned, the outer sentries were eliminated immediately.
Since the bandits who were supposed to be defending the mountain road had all gone to fight in their strongholds, the company commander had a smooth journey.
The mortar company, which had been eagerly anticipating its mission, was speechless at the sight of this situation.
"That's it?"
Soon, the company commander and his men secured the gate of the stronghold. Due to the fierce fighting inside the stronghold, none of the bandits realized that their gate had been occupied by the enemy.
"Brothers, charge! Rescue the commander!" The bandit commanded, launching an attack on Cao Yingjie and his group.
"Oh, it looks like someone has kidnapped their regimental commander," the company commander said.
"There are good people among the bandits!" the company commander exclaimed.
"Let's go, we have to lend a hand." With that, the company commander took the lead and rushed forward.
"Da da da."
A hail of bullets swept behind the attacking bandits.
"Oh no, there are people behind us!"
The bandits immediately turned their guns around and launched a counterattack, but they were no match for the local militia.
They organized machine guns to fire in a crossfire, forming a fire network to wipe out thousands of reckless bandits.
"Battalion Commander, reinforcements have arrived!" Cao Yi shouted.
"No matter who they are, brothers, cooperate with them and beat them up."
With the cooperation of the militia and Cao Yingjie, the bandits in the middle were quickly defeated, and the survivors all raised their hands and surrendered.
"Who are you people?" Cao Yingjie asked warily.
"We are from the Wolong Mountain militia!"
"What! You are the Wolong Mountain militia? That's great! We were just thinking of joining you."
"Huh? What's going on? The bandits are fighting amongst themselves and then surrendering?" Tang Xiaohu, who had just come up, was stunned when he heard this news.
