(The third update is given~~~~~~)

The ** regiment departed from Shou County and went directly north to Shangmeng City. According to Yang Yiming's arrangement, the team had food and money and could not enter the city at all. However, after all, most of the more than 600 soldiers in the entire ** regiment were recruits, and they were a little helpless in this high-intensity marching.

Looking at the new recruits in his hand, Yang Yiming had no choice. To put it bluntly, the veterans were all fought in wars. So if these new recruits become available soldiers, the only way is to fight. However, the troops' paths and routes were actually safe, so Yang Yiming finally decided to enter Mengcheng, rest for a night before embarking on the road.

However, after the ** regiment arrived at Mengcheng, they found that the city gate was closed and there was no one outside the city. Yang Yiming was surprised. Where did the closed door come from before late at night? So he ordered the soldiers to go to the city gate to ask.

After a long time, the questioning soldier came back and told the consequences of his closed-door city.

"Mengcheng is not taking us seriously, right? Am I really like a bandit?" Huang Dahu said dissatisfied after hearing the soldiers' words.

"No, there must be some other reason here. So we all drive to the city and I will come forward and ask in person."

A team of five or six hundred people gathered under the city. Of course, the armed forces at the city gate saw this and didn't know which man was a little more courageous shouting through the wall: "You bandits, don't think that there are too many people, you can invade my Mengcheng again. Tell you that my master has already sent people to Su County to recruit reinforcements. I advise you to leave quickly."

After the man shouted, Yang Yiming frowned. He really thought that his group of people were bandits for a long time. No wonder most of his more than 600 people did not have military uniforms, and those with military uniforms were already tattered. Yang Yiming had no words on the other side.

After breathing a sigh, Yang Yiming shouted loudly: "Brothers in the city, we are the ** troops who drove from Shou County to Xuzhou. It is dark today. I want to enter the city to avoid frost and dew. Please inform you, the county magistrate of Mengcheng."

After half a while, the man shouted, "You'd better go back. The master said that we won't open the door if reinforcements are not allowed!"

This sentence completely angered Huang Dahu on the side and said to Yang Yiming: "Oh my god, why don't we lead troops to take Mengcheng? I think they are still arrogant!"

"Nonsense, we are **, how can we do this? After taking Mengcheng, we really become bandits. Forget the order to camp on the spot!"

Seeing that the army under the city did not leave, they set up camps. The people on the city tower could no longer stay, so they hurriedly found the county magistrate of Mengcheng.

"Master, look, it's all the people below!"

County Magistrate Mengcheng looked carefully as he pointed at the target, then frowned and said, "They don't leave or attack the city. Are you not afraid of my rescue? This..." Thinking of this, County Magistrate Mengcheng suddenly slapped his thigh and then continued, "Is it really a **?"

The city gate finally opened, and the magistrate of Mengcheng looked embarrassed at Yang Yiming, "Captain Yang, what he did just now is helpless! I hope he can forgive me."

"Oh? Did you really meet bandits?" Yang Yiming asked.

"Hey, yes, the day before yesterday, a group of bandits emerged from Beijiao Mountain in Mengcheng County. My county was very happy to pay Taiping and never made any precautions. Therefore, when the bandits came directly to the city to burn, kill, loot, and they were very unfortunate!"

"County magistrate, do you mean that the bandits have only arrived recently?"

Seeing the county magistrate nodding, Yang Yiming continued to ask: "Then can you tell me about the bandits?"

"Well, there are no less than 500 bandits in this group, and most of them have foreign guns. Not only that, these people are very cruel. If they encounter someone who refuses to follow, they will kill them on the spot, and then more than a dozen people in Japanese counties will die at the hands of bandits!" When he said this, the county magistrate seemed to feel that he did not say anything useful, so he corrected his expression and continued: "I know the accent of those bandits. It seems that they are from Anhui. As for the bandit leader, it seems that he is called a Heizi."

"Heizi? Anhui? Is it Liu Heizi?" Yang Yiming murmured.

As a person who understands history, Liu Heizi was the largest bandit leader in Anhui during the Anti-Japanese War. He acted viciously and was notorious. It is believed that the capture of Nanjing by the Japanese army also affected Liu Heizi's nest. Therefore, Liu Heizi then moved to Dameng City and was the stronghold in Beijiao Mountain.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiming bowed and said, "Don't worry, county magistrate, I am willing to lead the officers and soldiers of our regiment into the mountains to wipe out the bandits tomorrow, so as to restore the bright world of the city!"

When the county heard this, he was happy at first, but then he became dim again. He continued, "Captain Yang is kind to him, but your group is only 600 people, and with Beijiao Mountain easy to defend but difficult to attack, can you take down that group of evil bandits?"

Speaking of this, Huang Dahu on the other side stopped him. He was about to get angry, but Yang Yiming stopped him. He then smiled and said, "Please rest assured, the Japanese will definitely succeed if they do their jobs in person!"

Yang Yiming said it was certain, and the county magistrate was always worried, and in the end he had to agree due to the rogue.

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Yang Yiming led all the officers and soldiers of the ** regiment and several county people familiar with the terrain sent by the county magistrate to Beijiao Mountain. On the way, Yang Yiming still had some discussions with Huang Dahu and Chen Cheng. After all, Liu Heizi's forces were placed there, and the current situation could not be a bit careless.

The mountain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said that Liu Heizi chose this place and was attracted by the terrain here. However, when Liu Heizi met Yang Yiming, the result would be a different matter.

Walking into the canyon, Yang Yiming issued an order to stop the march. You should know that Liu Heizi's spies had long discovered a team of unknown origin like Yang Yiming, so there must be ambushing in some places.

Sure enough, a small team of soldiers who were exploring the way that Yang Yiming sent was attacked by Liu Heizi's troops after advancing two miles.

"My fellow villager, are there any other roads to walk on Beijiao Mountain?" Yang Yiming asked at a loss.

"Well, there are, but the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. It will definitely take a long time to get up the mountain."

Yang Yiming nodded and then said, "I think this Liu Heizi has not been here for Beijiao Mountain for a long time, so I must not know that path. In this way, Huang Dahu, you personally lead a platoon of troops to go up the path with fellow villagers, and then I will lead the remaining brothers to feint the attack from the front. When we fight hard, you will attack him from behind. At that time, we will cooperate inside and outside and will definitely be able to wipe out Liu Heizi!"

After Huang Dahu took his men away, the remaining team soon arrived at the place where the soldiers were ambushed before. Indeed, the canyons on both sides of this place were as sharp as knifes, and in the distance, under the dense vegetation, it was likely that the bandits' ambushing stronghold. But now it is impossible to fight, and the only way is to stalemate. Yang Yiming also brought several mortars during this trip. It is more than enough to deal with bandits with such things!

Yang Yiming stopped the troops on the spot, creating a stalemate with Liu Heizi. This was to create psychological pressure for Liu Heizi, and secondly, it could also buy time for Huang Dahu.
Chapter completed!
