The Black Dragon Society was a menace to the region. Eliminating them would not only win the hearts of the people, but also allow us to seize their supplies.
The leader of the Black Dragon Society was called Black Dragon. He was a former Northeast Army logistics battalion commander who was abandoned during the Northeast Army's retreat.
Black Dragon took his men and left the army, taking refuge in the Black Dragon Mountains, becoming a bandit king.
He used his former logistics battalion's equipment to amass wealth, robbing and plundering.
He became the most powerful bandit in the area.
According to information Su Yang gathered, the Black Dragon Society had a munitions workshop that could produce shells.
This was Su Yang's ultimate goal.
Once he took down the Black Dragon Society, his team would have the foundation for rapid development.
Most importantly, it would allow them to research smokeless gunpowder and produce ammunition.
Therefore, Su Yang had been preparing for this operation to take down the Black Dragon Society.
After this period of training, the soldiers had basically reached the required standards, and it was time to act.
Then.
Su Yang called a meeting of the squad leaders to discuss the plan to eliminate the Black Dragon Society.
When Yang Zhihua and the others learned of Su Yang's plan, they were almost shocked out of their minds, especially Yang Zhihua.
He couldn't believe that Su Yang was so bold.
With only 35 men, they dared to attack a bandit fortress with over 100 men, and their equipment was several times better than their own.
This was practically a suicide mission.
Even if they managed to take it, they would likely pay a heavy price.
However, after hearing Su Yang's plan, they felt a glimmer of confidence.
“Captain, isn't this too risky?”
Gou Sheng said with concern, “You are the commander of the team, why don't I go instead!”
“What battle isn't risky?!” Su Yang refused, “Since I'm the commander, then follow my orders.”
“As long as you are in position, you'll be fine!”
“Even if something happens, I can protect myself, don't worry.”
“Execute the order!”
Hearing this.
The four men hesitated for a moment, then stood up and answered in unison, "Yes!"
This further increased their respect for Su Yang.
At this moment, Yang Zhihua seemed to understand why Su Yang had such a convincing charm.
This also made him more determined to follow Su Yang.
In the afternoon.
Su Yang and his men, fully armed, left Black Dragon Village, heading towards the Black Dragon Society's fortress.
As dusk approached.
Su Yang, leading four carefully selected men, appeared in the back mountains of the Black Dragon Society, lying in wait for the opportune moment.
To minimize casualties while taking down the Black Dragon Society, Su Yang decided on a decapitation operation.
Su Yang and his five men were tasked with carrying out this mission.
The remaining 30 men would wait for Su Yang's signal to launch their attack from the front of the fortress.
Thanks to previous reconnaissance, Su Yang had a good grasp of the Black Dragon Society's fortress situation, so all they needed was to wait for the right moment.
Time passed as they waited.
......
Inside the Black Dragon Society's fortress.
Black Dragon, arms around a woman, swayed as he left the fortress hall and returned to his quarters.
After half an hour of revelry, Black Dragon fell asleep.
But the poor men on guard outside, noticing the lack of noise, reluctantly left and returned to their quarters for some rest.
In the middle of the night.
When people were most likely to feel drowsy.
Su Yang and his men, who had been lying in wait in the back mountains, finally made their move.
After silently moving for half an hour, they neutralized the guards and finally reached Black Dragon's quarters.
At Su Yang's signal, Shui Sheng and two others stood guard, while Su Yang and Chen Bingsheng silently crept into the largest room.
Inside the room.
Black Dragon was snoring loudly as he slept with the woman in his arms, providing cover for Su Yang.
When Su Yang reached the bed, he confirmed the target was correct and pointed a pistol at his head.
The cold muzzle made Black Dragon slowly open his eyes. He was groggy, and nearly fainted when he saw two burly men standing by the bed.
“Who... who are you?”
“Brave men, don't be impulsive, let's talk.”
As he spoke, he reached for something under the pillow, but Chen Bingsheng knocked him unconscious with a blow to the back of the neck.
The noise startled the woman beside him, and she screamed.
This immediately alerted the sleeping bandits.
Su Yang pointed the gun at the woman and threatened, "Shut up!"
“Send the signal!”
Then, Su Yang quickly grabbed a basin of water and splashed it on Black Dragon.
After all, they would need him to intimidate the other bandits later.
Black Dragon was startled awake, then tied up by Chen Bingsheng who had returned after sending the signal.
Just as Chen Bingsheng tied the woman up as well.
Gunshots rang out from outside the door.
The bandits had rushed over and exchanged fire with Shui Sheng and the others.
At the same time.
Li San and Gou Sheng, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, launched their attack immediately upon hearing the signal.
The bandits, who had no idea what was going on, were caught off guard.
They were completely overwhelmed.
......
On the top of the fortress.
Su Yang walked out with Black Dragon in tow and shouted, “Your leader is in my hands, cease fire!”
At these words, many of the bandits stopped shooting.
Su Yang saw that his words had some effect and decisively said, “You are surrounded by a large force. If you don't want to die, surrender immediately!”
“Surrender and you will be spared!”
Chen Bingsheng and the others roared, their voices shaking the hearts of the bandits.
These bandits heard the intense gunfire coming from the foot of the mountain and were terrified.
Moreover, their leader was in the hands of their enemies.
However, some of the bandits, driven by ambition or resentment towards Black Dragon, wanted to stir up chaos to fish in troubled waters.
But Shui Sheng, with his sharp eyes, shot them down.
Su Yang, filled with murderous intent, shot several bandits who were eager to take action, intimidating many of them.
He ensured they didn't dare to act rashly.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, many bandits had thoughts of retreat.
As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, he fired a bullet directly in front of a bandit who was trying to escape, preventing him from leaving.
This scene further intimidated the bandits.
“Move again, and the next bullet won't be in the ground!”
Su Yang commanded with authority, “Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, my army will prioritize capture, but those who refuse will be considered enemies and killed without mercy!”
