Lin Fan opened fire on the Japanese tank battalion.

A regiment retreating from the city wall was already hacking at horse legs and cleaning up the battlefield.

The Lunan Detachment perfectly inherited all the traditions of the Special Operations Brigade.

Including, but not limited to, the practice of collecting all materials on the battlefield.

Although time was tight now, and the Japanese could catch up at any moment.

Even if the soldiers couldn't carefully skin and butcher these warhorses, they could only chop off their legs.

They still had to collect some grain. These days, the soldiers of the Lunan Detachment had eaten a lot of horse meat.

But they didn't mind. Now that they saw the Japanese sending so much horse meat,

each and every one of them was extremely excited, especially Ma Dazhuang, Qin Laosan, and the others.

While swinging their broadswords, trying to cut the horse legs as big as possible,

they finally felt proud that their broadswords were still useful.

During this period of training, all the soldiers of the Lunan Detachment had completed the entire assassination technique.

Now, when fighting the Japanese in close combat, they no longer used broadswords to kill the enemy.

Instead, they used bayonets. In yesterday's bayonet fight, these soldiers felt certain that:

Bayonets were really easy to use.

Although these soldiers had all changed into Japanese leather shoes,

the clothes, belts, and leather shoes of the Japanese who fell by the city today

still had to be recycled.

In Lin Fan's words: Be prepared for anything.

These materials could be collected and sent to the rear.

With Lin Fan opening fire, the soldiers no longer had to hide from the Japanese tank bombings.

In the distance, the Japanese tanks exploded one after another.

The soldiers nearby only focused on cleaning up the battlefield carefully.

When those tanks within a thousand-meter range were all turned into scrap iron,

the battlefield hadn't been completely cleaned up yet.

When did the second Japanese cavalry battalion outside the city ever see such a situation:

The opposing National Revolutionary Army could destroy tanks more easily than killing mice.

They were bystanders at this moment.

Of course, they could clearly see the struggle and despair of the Japanese inside the tank battalion.

Some tanks, after discovering casualties ahead,

immediately turned around, and these tankers tried to escape in different directions.

It was just that the opposing National Revolutionary Army was too cunning.

He first blew up the tanks on the periphery, using these already destroyed tanks to block the path of many tanks.

At the same time, it blocked the retreat of many tanks.

In this way, seventy tanks were in a dilemma.

In the end, they were all destroyed!

Without waiting for all the tanks to be blown up,

the cavalry battalion that was fortunate enough not to launch an assault had already fled.

They didn't dare to continue appearing around Lincheng.

They were afraid that next, the National Revolutionary Army in the city would use them as targets.

These Japanese cavalrymen didn't dare to completely escape.

They could only scatter far away.

Opening their eyes wide, they watched Lincheng, and dared not do anything extra.

Lin Fan did indeed have the idea of hitting the tanks first, and then the cavalry.

After the tanks were destroyed, the Japanese cavalrymen who appeared in his field of vision were all alone in the distance.

How could Lin Fan bring himself to do it: one shell to kill one Japanese soldier.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it was a worthwhile deal.

But Lin Fan was still a little reluctant to use the shells fired from the 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

Mainly because these shells had to be sent from Jurong.

From now on, it would be very difficult for the Lunan Detachment to receive this kind of shell supply.

This kind of shell could not be supplied from the Japanese, it could only be sent by someone from the Special Operations Brigade.

This was not easy!

These were all things for the future, now it was time to retreat.

Lin Fan ordered the three regiments left in Lincheng to retreat immediately.

Two infantry regiments, one artillery regiment.

The retreat had been prepared long ago, not in a hurry at all.

Their purpose in staying behind was to fight the Japanese again.

So that the Japanese who arrived yesterday afternoon would not be arrogant.

After all, the Lunan Detachment had taken the initiative to retreat last night.

If they didn't show the Japanese some color, they wouldn't be afraid.

The three regiments of the Lunan Detachment retreated along the railway.

They didn't walk in a panic, and their speed wasn't fast either.

On the contrary, their speed was a bit slow.

This team stopped on the road from time to time, destroying the rails.

According to Lin Fan's plan, the Lunan Detachment would walk from the railway, at least for three days, so that the Japanese would not use the railway.

When Teraouchi Hisaichi, the supreme commander of the North China Area Army, heard the news reported from the front,

he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.

He couldn't believe that the team that fled last night didn't escape Lincheng overnight.

What he couldn't believe even more was: his cavalry battalion and tank battalion were so vulnerable.

They were wiped out by others in less than an hour.

Although the Japanese in the cavalry battalion scattered and fled,

they still spied on the entire situation of Lincheng from a distance.

These Japanese soldiers saw with their own eyes the train leaving Lincheng.

Although they didn't dare to get too close, they could also guess that the National Revolutionary Army team that had just wiped out a cavalry battalion and a tank battalion in the south of the city had left.

The attack of the Japanese infantry battalion confirmed their observations:

The National Revolutionary Army guarding Lincheng had retreated.

When Teraouchi Hisaichi rode his warhorse to the south of the city,

he saw a pile of scrap iron parked in the field.

He could still tell from the shape of this pile of scrap iron that these were all the tanks he regarded as his trump card.

He didn't come alone. Following him were Umezu Yoshijiro, Prince Naruhiko, and other high-level officials.

All these high-ranking Japanese officers looked at such a scene.

They were all stunned.

They had great expectations for the tank troops in their team.

In these days of battle, they also tasted the pleasure of these tanks rampaging across the battlefield and being invincible.

Now seventy tanks were piled here, turning this place into a scrapped tank recycling station.

The entire tank battalion, all here, none escaped.

How could they rest assured?

What if they encountered this team again next time?

Teraouchi Hisaichi thought even closer: What if they went all the way north?

The Japanese now had a lot of troops stationed in the entire North China.

But they were all scattered in various cities. If this team rushed all the way over,

defeating them one by one?

The consequences would be disastrous!

Teraouchi Hisaichi's head was about to explode.

What he feared came to pass.

At this moment, he received a telegram that had just been sent:

Yanzhou was occupied by a team of unknown identity.

It was a team wearing imperial military uniforms that occupied it.

Teraouchi Hisaichi panicked.

…

Teraouchi Hisaichi walked all the way, looking at the uneven city walls that had been broken open.

He was still shocked. They had escaped from the west of the city yesterday.

He hadn't seen this scene yet.

Seeing these today, this team was definitely not a guerrilla team.

No guerrilla team could have such powerful artillery.

In fact, many guerrilla teams only had one or two rifles.

Most people still used red-tasseled spears and broadswords.

Even this team was not only not a guerrilla team, but was very likely the most elite teaching corps of the National Revolutionary Army.

In fact, the Japanese were very familiar with the army building of the National Revolutionary Army.

Many officers in the National Revolutionary Army went to Japanese military academies to study.

After returning to the army, they served in the National Revolutionary Army, and sometimes they would hire Japanese instructors to guide them.

At that time, the National Revolutionary Army never thought that they would regard the Japanese as teachers.

However, the Japanese had always been painstakingly collecting all useful and useless information.

They had been preparing for the invasion all the time.

The Japanese had been preparing for this for fifty years.

According to the combat of this team, Teraouchi Hisaichi believed that, apart from the teaching corps of the National Revolutionary Army,

he couldn't think of any other team that would have such strong combat power.

But: Didn't the teaching corps of the National Revolutionary Army suffer heavy losses in the Battle of Nanjing?

…

Teraouchi Hisaichi looked again at the warhorses lying on the ground and the tanks in the distance.

He had to order: Jinan immediately dismantle a thousand meters of the railway track passing from the south.

Deploy heavy troops to guard the railway line.

The Japanese at Taian Station immediately organized people to dismantle the railway tracks.

If such a team were allowed to continue attacking along the railway and attack Jinan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Japanese dismantling the railway tracks themselves, as long as they didn't damage the roadbed and bridges,

would be extremely easy to restore in the future.

The foreigners in Taian City suddenly discovered that the trains were not running today.

The Japanese, as the occupying army, suddenly began to make a big move on the railway.

Jinan was a bigger city, and there were more foreigners here.

They were surprised to find that the Japanese were actually removing the railway tracks.

Why was this?

Didn't the Japanese also report in the newspapers that:

They had achieved an unprecedented victory, defeated 700,000 main force troops of the National Revolutionary Army.

They had occupied Xuzhou and opened up the Jinpu Railway Line?

Was the purpose of repelling the Jinpu Railway Line to dismantle these railway tracks?

There must be a big conspiracy behind this.

The Japanese invasion of this country must not affect the interests of Western countries.

They were now demolishing the railway tracks, which of course had an impact on the business of Westerners.

So the news that the Japanese had dismantled the railway tracks in Jinan immediately spread all over the world.

People all over the world who were concerned about this war immediately began to analyze it.

Some well-informed people combined the abnormal performance of the Japanese radio station yesterday.

Soon someone began to sell news of unknown origin.

Dai Li, the person in the National Revolutionary Army who controlled the most intelligence, was reporting to Chiang Kai-shek:

"According to the intelligence we have, the Special Operations Brigade fought fiercely with the Japanese at Zhaojiazhuang, 25 kilometers southwest of Lincheng, yesterday afternoon.

Both sides had their own victories and defeats.

The Special Operations Brigade retreated to Lincheng overnight.

A unit departed from Teng County, disguised as a Japanese team.

They occupied Zoucheng overnight, and just got the news that:

They also occupied Yanzhou along the railway.

In addition, the main force team of the Special Operations Brigade stayed in Lincheng.

Taking advantage of the Japanese's underestimation of the enemy,

they wiped out a Japanese cavalry battalion in Lincheng in one hour.

A tank battalion composed of seventy tanks.

Just now Teraouchi Hisaichi ordered the Japanese in Taian and Jinan to dismantle the Jinpu Road."

Chiang Kai-shek stood up excitedly: "Good!

Well done!

In this way, the transfer of the various departments of the Fifth War Area will be smoother."

He asked seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that Lin Fan owes you to do something?"

Dai Li quickly said: "This is what he said when he was in the Xuzhou Military Intelligence Station.

I haven't thought about what to ask him to do."

Chiang Kai-shek said: "In the enemy-occupied area, there are many people who jump very high.

They should be made to know that:

There is no good end to betraying the country."

"Yes!

The Japanese are now providing a lot of protection to many traitors."

"That's why we need people like Lin Fan even more."

"Yes!"

…

This was the third time Lin Fan had come to Teng County in a month and a half.

Many ordinary people in Teng County knew the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade.

Seeing them enter the city, many people were still greeting them:

"You're here again!"

"Are you distributing supplies today?"

These people were too welcome to the Special Operations Brigade.

The last time Lin Fan was in Teng County, he grabbed so many supplies.

Things like food were directly distributed to many people in the city.

Lin Fan replied with a smile: "It depends on whether the Japanese have stored anything in the city.

If you know where the Japanese have stored supplies,

we will find it.

It's like going up the mountain to hunt, everyone gets a share!"

When Lin Fan said this, many people smiled and walked away silently.

They could rush up when distributing things.

Not many people dared to do things like providing information.

If it was reported, the whole family would not be able to survive.

Lin Fan could understand these people's difficulties.

They were just ordinary people, and they could greet the Special Operations Brigade when they met.

Just this enthusiasm could show that these people were on the side of the Special Operations Brigade.

As for asking them to sacrifice their families for the country, not everyone could do that.

In this era, there were heroes, but most people were still ordinary people, and of course there were also traitors.

The situation at Teng County Station had been figured out by the Third Regiment.

The Lunan Detachment did not stay here for much time.

Even Longjia Village outside the city did not go.

The entire army rested in Teng County for an hour, and continued to take the railway tracks.

Continuing north along the way.

To fight guerrillas on this plain, Lin Fan knew one thing:

The influence of the Japanese was lower in places far away from the railway.

The closer they were to the railway, the more the Japanese had to control it.

After all, in modern society, the railway was the lifeline of the Japanese logistics supply and resource plunder.

After the Third Regiment captured Yanzhou, they immediately began sweeping the city.

All the shops of Japanese merchants in the city were confiscated.

The materials stored by the Japanese in the city were also confiscated.

The Third Regiment also bought large carts in the city according to Lin Fan's order.

At this time, the Lunan Detachment had no internal contacts in these places at all.

They also did not know which were the traitors in the city.

Therefore, the Lunan Detachment did not do things that killed people.

Temporarily only collecting materials.

At the same time, they also tried to dismantle more railway tracks from the railway line connecting Yanzhou and Taian.

According to Lin Fan's requirements, the Lunan Detachment was to take from the Japanese and use it to fight the Japanese.

These railway tracks were all good steel.

The Lunan Detachment would be able to use them in the future.

…

Five days later, when Captain Kawashima Shunsuke led his team to Yanzhou, he could not find any news about the Lunan Detachment.

In fact, five days ago, they had completely lost track of that team.

Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers from the entire North China Area Army gathered in Lincheng and Taierzhuang.

They sent out many reconnaissance squads.

Searching everywhere on the plain for the missing team.

It was as if they had suddenly disappeared from this world.

For two days, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers frantically searched in places such as Lincheng, Yixian, and Teng County.

After searching repeatedly without success, they had to accept reality.

These Japanese soldiers continued to go back to carry out the unfinished business of the Battle of Xuzhou.

However, when they looked back, they found that more than 700,000 National Revolutionary Army soldiers had long since disappeared.

The battlefield was changing rapidly, not to mention that the North China Area Army wasted a full three days at the most critical moment this time.

Actually, it was five days.

The Japanese soldiers returned from various places, some taking one day, some taking two days.

The search took another two days.

These Japanese soldiers spent another two days returning to their original positions.

As a result, by the time they returned to the battlefield again. The day lilies were cold.

Not to mention encircling the main force of the National Revolutionary Army.

They did not find many small units of the National Revolutionary Army.

This battle made the Japanese headquarters lament: The entire Battle of Xuzhou was costly, suffered heavy casualties, and had little effect.

The results of the entire battle were less than one-tenth of the plan.

The lack of results made the commander of the China Expeditionary Army, Hata Shunroku, very angry.

He believed that all this was the fault of the North China Area Army.

When the plan was initially formulated, he had always insisted on the China Expeditionary Army taking the lead.

Let the China Expeditionary Army increase its troops to the Xuzhou battlefield.

The North China Area Army only needed to do some auxiliary work.

As a result, the North China Area Army firmly refused.

Commander Hata Shunroku believed that: the failure of this Battle of Xuzhou was all the responsibility of the North China Area Army.

No matter what: the North China Area Army withdrew its entire army at the most critical moment of the battle.

Let go of the main force of the National Revolutionary Army.

Although all the high-ranking Japanese officials knew the reason.

But this pot still needed someone to carry it.

Of course, Teraouchi Hisaichi could not carry this pot.

Umezu Yoshijiro would not carry it either.

Prince Naruhiko was even more unlikely to carry this pot.

In the end, this pot was placed on the shoulders of Brigadier General Seiya Keisuke.

The reasons were very sufficient: First, he was the one who commanded poorly in the first Battle of Taierzhuang.

That's why there were these things later.

Second, the team that attacked Lincheng this time had been determined to be the National Revolutionary Army team that defended Taierzhuang.

They broke through the defense line set up by Seiya Keisuke at night, which allowed them to rush to Lincheng.

Seiya Keisuke was dismissed from his military post, transferred back to China, and entered the reserve.

…

The Battle of Xuzhou completely failed to achieve the results the Japanese wanted.

It suddenly eliminated the voice of the non-expansion faction of the Japanese internal war.

There was only one voice left in the entire Japanese interior now: to fully occupy this land.

The plan for another battle had been put on the agenda.

The Japanese now believed that since they had not achieved the goal of annihilating the main force of the National Revolutionary Army in the Battle of Xuzhou.

Then they could also occupy Wuhan to打击打this country's will to resist.

In order to achieve this goal, the Japanese who had just participated in the Battle of Xuzhou began to formulate new combat plans.

They hated the National Revolutionary Army team that caused the failure of the entire Battle of Xuzhou.

They kept sending people to look for news about this team.

As a result, the first feedback they received was still from within the National Revolutionary Army.

The Japanese only knew that the team seemed to have suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Before that, they had traces in Yanzhou and Zoucheng.

At night, they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

None of the traitors that the Japanese had placed in Yanzhou and Zoucheng knew where they had gone.

They did not even know in which direction they had gone.

However, in the past few days, Teraouchi Hisaichi had still found out the name of the team that had rushed into Lincheng.

This news was provided by sympathizers in the National Revolutionary Army.

These sympathizers had never considered themselves traitors.

They only admitted that they were the "war annihilation faction."

These people had a very good relationship with the Japanese.

They were also high-level officials in the National Revolutionary Army and the National Revolutionary Army government.

It was very easy to inquire about some confidential information when they really wanted to.

What's more, some news was originally meant to be notified to them.

What Teraouchi Hisaichi had in his hand now was such a piece of information:

The Special Operations Brigade of the Fifth War Area, Brigade Commander Lin Fan.

Suddenly emerged in the Four-Line Warehouse on October 25, 1937.

Used force to coerce a team of defeated soldiers, and appointed himself company commander, which was the special company.

Then he gathered his team all the way. Now he has 20,000 official troops in the Jurong and Guangde line.

He brought four companies to the Xuzhou battlefield, and now it has grown to 10,000 troops.

Specialty: Accurate marksmanship, extremely accurate artillery.

Known as never missing a shot.

Extremely good at winning people's hearts.

Looking at this piece of information in his hand, Teraouchi Hisaichi immediately thought of when he was in Lincheng, those planes fell to the ground one after another.

He also thought of the tanks south of the city.

It seemed that these were all the masterpieces of that Lin Fan.

Extremely accurate artillery?

Was such a person really a human being?

As for the sentence behind that he was extremely good at winning people's hearts.

From the time he brought four companies to the Xuzhou battlefield, in just one month, he developed his team to more than 10,000 people.

Of course, this was winning people's hearts.

However, Teraouchi Hisaichi still felt that he had discovered some secrets:

"A warlord with 30,000 troops, and who also has territory and industries, is actually just a brigade commander."

Chiang Kai-shek was not friendly to this person.

There was a story here!

This was also an opportunity to take advantage of.

I can give such a talent the best treatment.

Seeing this information, Teraouchi Hisaichi only had two words to evaluate Commander Hata Shunroku of the China Expeditionary Army: idiot!

There was such a person around Nanjing, either destroy him! Or buy him off.

But he did neither.

Teraouchi Hisaichi firmly believed that everyone in this world could be bought off.

As long as the price paid was enough, there was no one who could not be bought off.

Hata Shunroku, this idiot, must not have paid enough.

Thinking of this.

He ordered: "Send someone over and try to get in touch with this Lin Fan.

If he is willing to be neutral, we can give him the entire Shandong and let him be the chairman of the Shandong Autonomous Province."

Teraouchi Hisaichi believed that his sincerity was enough.

As long as Lin Fan could talk, it would be nothing to give him another province or two to be the chairman of.

In the imperial occupied area, apart from being a guerrilla, he was being a dog for himself no matter what he did.

At this time, Lin Fan had already led his team back to Longjia Village.

Resting in the Weishan Lake next to Longjia Village.

The six regiments of the Lunan Detachment were scattered within a range of dozens of square kilometers around Longjia Village.

They had radio and wireless phone contact with each other.

The entire Lunan Detachment was training in swimming and operating boats.

The lake here was wide, and if they wanted to fight here for a long time in the future.

Not being able to swim would not work.

Lin Fan had decided that: when the speedboats from Jurong were built.

He must equip the Lunan Detachment with dozens of speedboats.

Some tractors also had to be sent over.

It was also possible to use mechanized troops to fight guerrillas.

Long Zaitian was full of energy now.

He walked with his back straight.

This was not only because Longjia Village was expected to have a bumper harvest this year.

The main reason was: he had 300 soldiers under his command.

Although these soldiers had only been formed for a short time.

But they had been on the battlefield and seen blood.

Now there was another group of veterans returning from the battlefield to guide them.

Looking at the entire Teng County area, no other ignorant bandit dared to come and take advantage of them.

In fact, many bandits were still afraid that Long Zaitian would lead people to attack their ideas.

In this era, there was chaos everywhere.

There were bandits everywhere. Among these people, some had ancestral skills.

More were those National Revolutionary Army soldiers who had been defeated.

After they escaped from the battlefield with weapons, they did not return to their old troops. They gathered a group of people with a few guns and established their own mountain stronghold.

The small ones only had a dozen people.

The large ones had hundreds, or even two or three hundred people organized together.

Nan Batian was a bandit leader.

Being a bandit was a family tradition for him.

He had more than 300 bandits under his command, and also had more than 300 guns.

When the Japanese first arrived in Sishui, he felt that the opportunity had come. 大風小说网

He expressed his loyalty at the first time.

He was also appointed by the Japanese at the first time.

Now he was the Sishui Garrison Commander.

He had more than 300 guns under his command now.

In order to enable him to maintain the situation in the entire Sishui, the Japanese divided those National Revolutionary Army soldiers who had surrendered

into Nan Batian's hands, one thousand.

In the past month, those National Revolutionary Army soldiers had run away, escaped, and now there were still 800 left.

These were the ones who did not want to leave.

On the city wall of Sishui, there were dozens of soldiers who had been caught trying to escape.

Not many people knew Nan Batian's real name anymore.

They called him Nan Batian behind his back, and only dared to call him Commander Nan in person.

Commander Nan had been very proud and glamorous these days.

In the past, although he had 300 guns under his command, he could also come to Sishui City to stroll around.

But at that time, he only dared to tuck his tail between his legs.

He could not walk swaggeringly on the street like he was now.

He unscrupulously stared at the young wives and big girls in the city.

But today's Nan Batian was leading a team of puppet soldiers, carrying eight boxes of gifts.

They went around the city with gongs and drums.

These busybodies in Sishui City inquired one after another: Which family's daughter was going to suffer?

The entire Li family in the south of Sishui City was shrouded in a disheartened atmosphere at this time.

The Li family in Sishui had produced Jinshi in the previous dynasty, and had also served as a senior official of a government.

They had always passed down the family tradition of studying. The third young lady of the Li family was born with a beautiful appearance.

When she went to the street a few days ago, she was seen by Nan Batian.

He was amazed.

He immediately asked his subordinates to rob people.

The old master of the Li family finally pulled down his old face and took his daughter back from Nan Batian's hands.

At that time, what the old master of the Li family said was to let Nan Batian choose an auspicious day and marry her in a formal marriage.

If it was an ordinary person, the condition of marrying her in a formal marriage would be a bit difficult.

But for Nan Batian, who came from a bandit background, this was not a problem at all.

He immediately demoted his legal wife to the second concubine.

Reserving the position of legal wife.

All of this was announced in the newspaper.

Now the Li family had nothing to say.

Li Ziya refused to marry Nan Batian at home no matter what.

Just thinking about it, she was only sixteen years old, and Nan Batian was already a sixty-year-old old man.

The second brother was indignant and took a gun, wanting to fight Nan Batian.

Madam Li quickly stopped him: "If you go to fight, will you destroy the entire Li family?"

She also persuaded her daughter: "This world is already like this. For the sake of the entire Li family, we can only do this!

Daughter! After you go, you have to restrain your temper.

If you coax that bandit well, the Li family can be preserved!"

The old master of the Li family blushed and walked back and forth outside the house.

Li Jiadong took the gun: "I'm going to Teng County."

"What are you going to do in Teng County now that there is chaos everywhere?" the old master of the Li family scolded.

"I heard that there are guerrillas there. I'm going to find someone to destroy him," Li Jiadong said fiercely.

"Where are the guerrillas? In this chaotic world, they are all bandits! They are all bandits!"

"I heard that they are not. They don't rob the people, they only rob the Japanese and the puppet army," Li Jiadong maintained his last stubbornness.

"Come here! Lock him up in the study and let him read some books!" the old master of the Li family said no more.

This son of his was not easy to deal with either.

How could he believe such exaggerated rumors in this chaotic world.

Besides: the people can't fight against the officials!

If he went to bring another group of bandits over, this family would be destroyed.

What originally only needed to deal with one group of bandits would become two groups at that time.

The old master of the Li family decided to lock up this disobedient son for ten days and a half months.

Until Ziya was married and the rice was cooked.

Then he would let him out. At that time, if he did not want to leave, he would send him away.

It was just that now in this world, where was there a place that was still peaceful?

Where ordinary people could live in peace!

Hearing his second brother shouting that he was going to Teng County to invite the guerrillas to destroy Nan Batian.

Seeing his second brother being locked up by his father again.

Li Ziya became quiet.

She suddenly stopped making noise.

She was not a child, and she also knew Nan Batian's current power.

It was impossible for her family to oppose him.

If it was in the past, the government could still put some pressure on the bandits.

Even if someone was kidnapped, as long as they paid the money, they could still get the person back from the bandits.

It was different now, the world had changed.

The bandits had actually become a regular army, and they could openly do things like robbing women.

No one dared to care, could care!

Li Ziya had made up her mind: she had been to Teng County.

She had played at her classmate's house before.

This time she decided to go by herself.

Today was the day for the engagement. Nan Batian put down the gift boxes without seeing anyone.

In any case, he was able to come to propose marriage with eight gift boxes today.

He had already given enough face.

The old master of the Li family had nothing to say.

His face was smiling, but he did not know what he was thinking in his heart.

He enthusiastically invited this son-in-law, who was a round older than himself, to sit.

To take the seat of honor!

Having entered the city these days, Nan Batian had finally learned some things.

For example, today, he knew clearly: This was not in his mountain village, nor was it in his headquarters.

He still had to let the old master of the Li family take this seat of honor. He also had to pretend.

In order to make this evil son-in-law feel at ease, the old master Li also called out his daughter.

She toasted Nan Batian with a cup of wine.

Looking at this delicate and charming little woman in front of him.

Thinking that in a few days, he would be able to hold her in his arms.

Nan Batian felt happy in his heart.

He was so happy that he slapped the pistol on his waist on the table with a "Pa!" sound.

This startled the entire Li family.

Nan Batian said with a smile: "Ziya! These gift boxes today are all for you.

This gun has been with me for thirty years.

I'll give it to you today too."

Speaking of this, he loudly said to the bandits who were eating at the other tables:

"From today onwards, she is your sister-in-law.

Seeing this gun is like seeing me.

If anyone doesn't listen to you, just use it to shoot him."

The Li family was very happy to hear this.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, he was able to say such words.

At least at this time, Nan Batian still valued his daughter.

Li Ziya was really happy this time.

She toasted Nan Batian with another cup of wine.

She also asked him coquettishly to teach her how to shoot a gun.

Nan Batian became even more happy.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he quietly touched her white and tender little hand.

Then he demonstrated how to load bullets and how to cock the gun.

He raised his hand and shot down the lantern hanging outside the door with one shot.

It won a burst of applause from his subordinates.

It also made the faces of these people in the Li family turn pale.

This lantern was picked on a thin bamboo pole. Nan Batian's shot just now broke the bamboo pole.

This was why the lantern fell to the ground.

Li Ziya was not afraid, and even asked Nan Batian for dozens of bullets.

She ran to the backyard to practice shooting.

Nan Batian ate the banquet, listening to the gunshots from the backyard from time to time, and was satisfied.

Li Jiadong was locked in the study, listening to the gongs and drums outside, knowing that Nan Batian had arrived.

Before long, he heard gunshots, which startled him.

He thought something had happened to someone in the family.

It was just that no one listened to him now when he shouted.

He could only be anxious.

Not long after, rhythmic gunshots sounded in the backyard.

This gunshot sounded once, and after a while, it would sound again.

Before Nan Batian left the table, Li Ziya ran back.

She asked him for bullets, saying that the bullets just now had been used up.
