Although Qixing Village failed to attack Wanjia Fort twice in the past, both times Wanjia Fort defended the castle and did not dare to go out of the city to fight with the bandits, and did not have any protection ability to the surrounding villages. Therefore, although Qixing Village failed to capture Wanjia Fort, it could still rob the surrounding villages and return with a full load.

It is precisely based on this experience that Qixingzhai made a wrong judgment, believing that the Volunteers were like the original Wanjia Fort. Even if they captured Wanjia Fort, they would hide in the castle like the original Wanjia Fort defending. As long as they did not attack Wanjia Fort, they could still plunder in the villages of the sphere of influence announced by the Volunteers.

The closest Qixing Village to Wanjiabao is the fifth village. So the fifth leader He Jin sent troops to rob a village, deliberately trying to hit the volunteers in the face, and proudly claimed that he was just hiding in Wanjiabao in this area. As long as Wanjiabao is out, the Qixing Village has the final say.

Of course, the time traveler would not bear this breath. He demanded absolute safety in the area he controlled, so he naturally could not allow the bandits to act recklessly. Moreover, the platoon-level officers of the Volunteer Army were basically served by veterans of the original People's Army. The Volunteer Army also had a bit of the arrogance of the People's Army and did not look down on the Qing army and the local green forest bandit forces. After all, the People's Army has indeed achieved very brilliant results in the past two years of its establishment, and naturally it also has a proud capital. The soldiers who traveled through time also knew that soldiers should be a bit arrogant. If they were timid soldiers, then it would be useless to give them any good weapons. Therefore, this group of ignorant bandits dared to slap themselves in the face, and of course they had to take revenge.

Moreover, Qixing Village is located in the junction of Shandong and Henan, and it happens to be stuck on the main traffic route from Shandong to the new base. Therefore, from the perspective of ensuring the traffic line, Qixing Village must be cleared. However, Qixing Village is relatively powerful and difficult to eliminate in a short period of time. Moreover, the main task of the Volunteers is to ensure the stability and security of the controlled area. They do not have the energy to wipe out Qixing Village for the time being, but it is still possible to destroy one or two of them and suppress the Qixing Village's energy.

So Li Wenjie immediately ordered to dispatch two companies of troops to attack the fifth village of Qixingzhai. This battle once again showed that the Volunteer Army far exceeded the bandits' battle, and there were three 60 mortars to suppress the formation, so he conquered the fifth village without much force. However, during the battle, He Jin, the fifth leader, fled. However, after breaking the fifth village, the Volunteer Army did not take advantage of the victory, but sent a captive bandit to send a letter to the Qixingzhai to warn him. Who dared to move the village protected by the Volunteer Army in the future? The Fifth Village is an example.

The destruction of the fifth village also shocked the entire Qixing Village, because this was something that had never happened since the establishment of the Qixing Village. The Volunteer Army's message warning was even more contempt for the Qixing Village. The boss Zhu Jun immediately decided to find the place back, so he gathered the third village, the sixth village, the seventh village, and the remaining personnel of the fifth village, gathered a total of more than 600 people and launched an attack on the Volunteer Army again.

In fact, the Volunteer Army estimated that it would only break one village, and the bandits would not give up and would definitely take revenge again. They could only beat the bandits again, so they knew that they were suffering from this, so they had already prepared for another battle. This time, three companies were dispatched to fight the bandits from the front, and the other two companies surrounded them from left and right respectively, and defeated the bandits again, and less than 200 people fled back. Moreover, even the fifth leader He Jin died in the chaos.

At this time, Qixing Village received a green forest note sent by Lin Shenwang. The boss Zhu Jun was of course unwilling to attend the green forest conference, so he sent the second boss Huang Quan to attend the meeting on his behalf. As soon as Huang Quan left, the volunteer army launched an attack on Qixing Village again. This time the attack was the Seventh Village, but of course he encountered it without saying anything. The Seventh Village was captured by the Volunteer Army, and the Seventh Army Fang Yue was shot dead on the spot.

After several consecutive fights, Qixing Village did not take any advantage. On the contrary, they all ended in a crushing defeat and suffered heavy losses. Qixing Village was actually defeated into a five-star village, so the remaining leaders realized that the volunteer army, which had emerged from there, was a tough bone, so they did not dare to act rashly and did not rob the villages under the rule of the volunteer army. Fortunately, the leaders of the two camps that were captured were dead, and no one opposed it.

After Huang Quan returned to Qixing Village after attending the Green Forest Conference, he realized that he had another village was broken. He was shocked and learned in detail about the behavior of the Volunteer Army. Because he knew that the Volunteer Army was actually the local owner, all the land of the powerful was confiscated and allocated to ordinary people, he strengthened his judgment. The Volunteer Army was likely to be the army of overseas Chinese, and at least it had a close relationship with overseas Chinese, because isn’t this routine done by overseas Chinese in Shandong?

So Huang Quan explained the story of his participation in this Green Forest Conference, and the contents were explained in detail to the other four remaining leaders, and of course he also made his judgment. After hearing this, everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, overseas Chinese forced Shandong Green Forest to this point, and they all agreed with Huang Quan's judgment that the Volunteers must be the army of overseas Chinese. It seems that overseas Chinese are not satisfied with only Shandong Province, and extended their clutches to Henan.

Of course, it has nothing to do with the Green Forest if overseas Chinese want to invade Henan, but their squeezing of Green Forest's living space in this way is a major matter that concerns the vital interests of every Green Forest person. So everyone, like Huang Quan, asks for advice on how to deal with overseas Chinese.

Huang Quan also said that he had ordered 150 rifles from Wang Kefu, which was unanimously agreed by everyone, and everyone believed that Huang Quan did a good job, but the quantity was a little smaller, and agreed to order a batch after receiving the goods.

Huang Quan suggested that before the first batch of rifles was delivered, it was not advisable to have direct conflicts with the Volunteers again. After this batch of rifles was obtained, the action plan also adopted the tactics formulated by Wang Ke, to break them into pieces, attack and invade the village, and to manage your own retreat. This opinion was unanimously agreed by the other four leaders. After all, Qixingzhai has a rich family background and is much stronger than other green forest forces in Shandong, so it can still hold on.

So the Qixing Village, which only left the five villages, has stopped fighting and has stopped conflicting with the Volunteers. The Volunteers have no energy to care about other matters, but have to concentrate on implementing land reform in controlled areas, establish local grassroots administrative systems, cultivate local cadres, recruit and form troops, etc.

Moreover, the Volunteers defeated Qixingzhai in succession and implemented land reform, which also made their reputation in this area. Several villages took the initiative to surrender to the Volunteers, and some villages sent people to invite the Volunteers to their villages to implement land reform, so they were very busy for a while.

By the end of November, the Volunteers had controlled 43 villages, distributed in Chenzhou Prefecture, Guide Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture and other places. There were a total of 974 households, a population of 5,812, and the area controlled was about 2,000 square kilometers. At the same time, more than 700 new soldiers were recruited and a battalion was organized. All the Volunteers in the villages were active in the villages and did not invade the county towns. Moreover, the taxes for this year have been collected. Therefore, local officials in Henan Province did not want to be troubled, thinking that it was just a riot in the local area or a robbery, so they ignored it.

Only then did the new base government write a detailed report and pass it to the Qingdao Executive Yuan, and also requested that Shandong could provide another batch of guns and ammunition.

After receiving the report, the Executive Yuan was very satisfied with the work of the new base government during this period. The first step of the mining division plan was well carried out. The next day, he replied to the new base government, first complimenting the work of the new base government, and agreed to draw 500 rifles, 100,000 bullets and some * and artillery shells to the Yigong Army. At the same time, he also reminded the new base government not to be careless, because as the scale of the new base area expanded, it would definitely attract the attention of the government, and the Green Forest Bandit forces should not be careless. We should take advantage of the slack season now and mobilize residents of each village to immediately build village encirclements, walls and other protection facilities in each village to prevent attacks by bandits.

It turned out that just a few days ago, bandit forces attacked villages from all parts of Shandong. Moreover, this round of attacks was quite strange. The bandits from all over the country seemed to have agreed, and they acted almost at the same time. The number of bandits was generally between 50-60 people. The time was short, no more than an hour, and they ran away after robbing. There were many people killed, almost killing people when they entered the village, without asking about their clear characteristics. In addition, while robbing, the bandits also shouted in public, "It is because the overseas Chinese forced us to have no way to survive, so if you want to blame, blame the overseas Chinese."

In just three days, a total of 57 attacks occurred in Shandong, with 17 villages being captured by bandits, resulting in 1127 deaths and 2561 injuries. More than 10 tons of robbed food and food, countless other materials, and also had certain adverse effects on the East China government. Some voices complaining about overseas Chinese were sporadic. Although there were not many, this sign must be guarded against.

Of course, the People's Army stationed in various places are not idle either. They will attack immediately after receiving the news. However, the bandits acted too quickly. When the People's Army arrived, most of the bandits ran away. They could only block a small number of bandits, and in the end they only killed 362 bandits and captured 67 people. It can be said that the results are not very effective.
