New Year's Day in 1918 was tense and full of accomplishment, but this joy did not last long. Just after New Year's Day, Gan Fulin's father sent someone to inform him urgently that a group of bandits would attack them recently. The exact number was unknown, but it is certain that the number was definitely quite large. Bandits from several surrounding townships and even other counties also participated. Among them, Heitouling, which caused Duan Guoxue to suffer a loss last time, was estimated to reach more than 400 people to participate in the action.

Duan Guoxue, who received the news, immediately discussed countermeasures with several major figures.

"Fight! Why not fight? Don't talk about anything else. Just because we suffered such a big loss last time, we must fight this battle!" Arita was the first to jump out and shouted.

"What are you shouting? Everyone knows that you have a loud voice." Wei Xirong protested to Zhao Youtian dissatisfiedly. He was next to Youtian, and his eardrums were raped by Youtian.

"Don't look at me, I'm just a professor who does research and production. I'm an amateur guy." The old man said nothing else and left himself clean.

"Don't look at me, I'm just a teacher. I'm a teacher, I'm in charge of taking students, and I've never done anything about marching and fighting." Wang Shuilin even looked like he didn't come to look for me.

"When you fight, you have to fight, the key is how to fight, whether you put it in and fight or resist the enemy?" Sun Lida, the person who spoke, was a businessman's mind, after all, was a little more flexible in the face of such things.

"Uncle Lida's words are at the point. If you refuse the enemy from the outside, everything is easy to say. This is the best strategy. However, at present, we have not even figured out the number of enemies and the purpose of the enemy. It is not realistic to refuse the enemy from the outside. After all, the troops we have in our hands are just a little bit. Calling everyone is not to let everyone fight, but to use the worst strategy of putting them in and fighting, what should we deal with if the situation changes."

"Bandits seek wealth. This time, 99% of the target is the company's finance department. Everyone knows that the New Year is about to be paid, and there must be a lot of money in the treasury of the finance department." Gan Dongshan Ben didn't want to participate in this meeting, but because he is the director of the chemical factory and has rich experience in the martial arts world, Duan Guoxue would never let him be absent. Sure enough, he, who is not a talker, came to the key point as soon as he said it.

"Fight against the Finance Department? It is possible that there is only one squad of troops there. Although the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the bandits really have to rush in, so they really can't stand it or not."

"But is it possible that the bandits will not attack the Finance Department, but will go elsewhere? For example, kidnap the votes like last time?" After a year of training, Wei Xirong's thoughts and ideas gradually matured and became active.

"It's good to say, first, if the bandits only want the vault in the Finance Department, it's easy to do. Pull two platoons and two heavy machine guns to defend to ensure that they don't even want to rush into the gate. But what if the bandits don't attack the vault and turn to other targets?"

"This situation may also happen. After all, the intelligence shows that there are more than 400 people coming this time. If the bandits divide their troops to attack other departments, our losses will be great. I think this can be done. Starting tomorrow, we will spread the number of bonuses this time in a planned manner. We can even exaggerate the amount of the amount to make the bandits' offensive target clear. At the same time, we will focus on defense against several key units, steel plants, cement plants, chemical plants, and schools. Although these places are not very attractive to the bandits, they must not be guarded against. The company and the finance department will allocate two platoons and two machine guns, and the remaining two platoons are used as mobile reserves."

"What about the mortar squad? How to arrange it?"

"The power of the artillery squad is too great, and it is easy to accidentally be injured when placed at the company headquarters."

"Don't you need to put such a good thing?" Arita was a little unwilling.

"It's not that you don't want to use it, but you don't dare to use it."

"Teacher, I have seen the power of mortars. They are definitely a weapon for defense and killing the enemy. It would be a pity if you don't need to put them there. It would be better to place the mortar at the headquarters first. If the situation is critical, then fire the mortar. After all, instead of letting the bandits rush in and destroy it, we might as well demolish it ourselves."

"...Okay! Just do what Xirong said. I'm too careful. The main reason is that these things are all handled by me. If you lose a little, it will make me feel distressed."

"When did the teacher become like a wealthy slave?!"

"roll!"

After formulating a plan to combat and fight the enemy, each department began to adjust as planned. Duan Guoxue did not tell others that the "Shadow" troops, that is, his special forces, also scattered around for peripheral reconnaissance in order to get the fastest message.

But after several days in a row, there was no movement at all, and the Shadow Force did not notice any bandits infiltrated. This made Duan Guoxue very nervous because the Gantou people would not use fake news to deceive him, so they must have been negligent.

That evening, Duan Guoxue was in a bad mood and didn't have the mood to eat supper. He took Boqiang to school to relax. This was his way of regulating his mood. When he saw the early vigorous and hard-working students, he saw hope for the future. These are his future wealth, and his mood would also get better when he thought about it.

"Huang Mu, what are you doing when you go home so early?" Walking in the school corridor, a sound suddenly came from the entrance of the stairs in front.

"It's nothing. My dad asked me to go back early. He said that the old landlord in our village used a lot of firewood to cook in the past few days, so he asked me to carry two loads of firewood to deliver it to him." The child named Huang Mu replied crisply.

Hearing this, a lightning flashed through Duan Guoxue's mind, and the question that had been bothering for several days was answered at once.

Landlords! Landlords of all sizes here have obviously favored poor peasants and middle peasants when allocating new rice. The landlords' families have basically not gained any benefits. It is reasonable for these people to collude with bandits to deal with them. As the Chinese New Year approaches, the number of people traveling to the market has increased. These bandits pretend to be people traveling to the market has penetrated openly and then gathered in various landlords' families. Naturally, the Shadow Force cannot detect the enemies that infiltrated in this way.

After understanding this, Duan Guoxue rushed back to the headquarters immediately. After a series of orders to monitor the surrounding landlords were issued, Duan Guoxue was relieved. A big stone hanging in his heart for a few days was finally put down half of it.

"Brothers, this time we are here to catch big fish. There are about ten people guarding the vault, and there are tens of thousands of oceans inside. When the charge is later, you are not allowed to act like a dog. All of them are rushed into the vault. I will reward him with fifty oceans and two taels of opium." A bandit leader was in the yard to encourage his subordinates.

"I understand! Third Master, I heard that those militia are all bean ghosts whose eggs have not grown hard. Just by using us, we can take it down with just one charge."

"That's right, their mother was still with me when I was killing people." The obscene words were squeaked around, and for a moment, the morale of these bandits rose.

"Brothers, set out! Go and catch big fish!!!"

The same situation also took place in several other places, with teams of bandits coming out one after another and heading towards the headquarters of Xingmin Company.

"Reporting to the headquarters, there were 46 bandits in Xiaowang Village, and they were moving towards the headquarters." In the dark woods, a member of the Shadow Force observed with an infrared night vision device and reported.

"The headquarters received it and withdrew it back to the scheduled assembly site." New instructions came from the headphones.

"receive."

"According to the commander-in-chief, after reconnaissance, it has been found that there are 562 bandits, and they are moving toward the company's headquarters from all directions."
