Chapter 173
"Bagaya Road!" Kunisaki was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and immediately ordered in a serious voice: "Immediately send an order to the cavalry brigade, ordering them to immediately search and suppress the enemies of the county.

This enemy army must be wiped out completely! "

The Japanese captain said: "General, the cavalry brigade did not carry a radio station, and most of the communication with us remains unchanged. Now that Pukou has been captured, can we send them an additional radio station to enhance their communication capabilities."

"Just do as you say, hurry up!" Kunizaki Noboru agreed on the spot.

……

In the northwest of He County, about [-] kilometers away, in a dense forest.

The independent brigade guard platoon, machine gun squadron and the 1st infantry brigade led by Xu Qingfeng are resting here.

Lei Xiong and Wang Changgui's reconnaissance platoon had already exchanged personnel with other companies before they evacuated from He County, and now they are all equipped with war horses.

So at this moment, they are cruising and patrolling around, serving as tactical security.

At the same time, Xu Qingfeng specially asked Wang Changgui to bring two cavalry scouts to serve as liaison officers, and set off first to chase Zhou Weiguo and the others to maintain contact.

Under a large banyan tree with lush leaves, enough for two people to surround it, Xu Qingfeng, who had just instructed his officers and soldiers on how to use outdoor smokeless stoves and made a fire to cook, was smoking and taking a rest.

Guard platoon leader Chen Qifeng suddenly ran over happily carrying a large piece of barbecue.

When he came to Xu Qingfeng, he excitedly handed the barbecue to him and said: "Captain, this is freshly roasted Eastern horse meat. I also sprinkled some salt on it. It's very fragrant. Please try it quickly."

Although they were retreating and moving, the forest where they rested temporarily was very lush and could completely cover the fireworks.

In addition, the surrounding areas were all under Kuomintang control. Before their identities were determined, Xu Qingfeng concluded that the Japanese would not send planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance and search for them.

On the ground, there are dozens of our own cavalry scouts patrolling and guarding the perimeter. Even if the Japanese are chasing after them, they will have enough warning and reaction time.

Therefore, Xu Qingfeng did not need to let the soldiers eat frozen hard dry food. Instead, Xu Qingfeng told them to take anti-smoke measures before making fire and cooking.

Smelling the aroma of meat, Xu Qingfeng opened his eyes in vain and saw that what Chen Qifeng had brought him was a large piece of horse leg meat. It was roasted golden and oily on the outside, and the fragrance was overflowing, making people salivate.

He continued to lead his troops to fight, and then marched all the way to the northwest for nearly [-] kilometers. Even Xu Qingfeng was already hungry.

He stretched out his hand to take the horse's leg without the slightest politeness, first bit it with his mouth and then tore off a large piece with all his strength, and handed the horse's leg to Chen Qifeng while eating, saying: "Come, eat a piece!"

Chen Qifeng quickly waved his hand and said: "No, the brothers are still roasting over there. Captain, please eat more."

Xu Qingfeng pretended to be angry and said: "Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. How can I finish such a big piece of meat by myself?"

Only then did Chen Qifeng take the horse's leg, and happily gnawed on it.

Xu Qingfeng chewed and swallowed the horse meat in his mouth two or three times, and said with insatiable meaning: "There is only meat, no wine, almost meaningless."

Chen Qifeng quickly took a few bites of the horse leg and handed it back to Xu Qingfeng and said: "Captain, there is wine. We have seized a lot of Japanese sake from He County. I will get it for you."

After finishing speaking, Chen Qifeng wiped his mouth with his arm, turned and ran away, and went back after a while.

There were two more bottles of sake in his hand, and he excitedly handed one to Xu Qingfeng and said, "Captain, can I have some too?"

"Drink less, so you don't delay the march and fight, and you can keep out the cold, so it's fine." Xu Qingfeng said, "But don't be greedy. If you get drunk, you don't want to be the guard platoon leader."

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng was overjoyed and hurriedly unscrewed the bottle cap, touched a cup with Xu Qingfeng and drank for a while.

The two of them ate Japanese horse leg meat and drank Japanese sake. In a short time, they devoured a large piece of horse leg meat and drank half of the two bottles of sake.

Just as Chen Qifeng was talking about getting some more horse meat, a rush of hoofbeats came from outside the woods.

Immediately, there was another neighing sound of horses being restrained, followed by another sound.

Xu Qingfeng, Chen Qifeng, Wang Tiezhu, Sun Kui and others all heard the sound and followed it.

After a short meeting, a cavalry scout from the reconnaissance platoon, led by a sentinel from the guard platoon, rushed towards Xu Qingfeng and Chen Qifeng in a hurry.

Seeing the scout's expression so hurried and anxious, Xu Qingfeng's heart sank.

Before he arrived, the scout hurriedly stood at attention and saluted Xu Qingfeng: "Captain, it's bad, there is a situation."

Xu Qingfeng took a few steps forward and asked: "What happened? Are the Japs catching up?"

The scout shook his head and said: "It's not a devil, it's a bandit. I was ordered to follow Deputy Platoon Leader Wang to find Deputy Captain Zhou and the others. On the way, I was suddenly ambushed by a group of bandits.

They used a horse rope to trip up the horses of Deputy Platoon Leader Wang and another brother. Ji Zhi was following behind and luckily escaped.

I wanted to rescue you, but I was shouted back by Deputy Platoon Commander Wang. He asked me to come back and report to you, Captain, for help. "

Xu Qingfeng, Chen Qifeng, and Sun Kui, Wang Tiezhu and others who heard the news, couldn't help but change their faces after hearing the news.

Chen Qifeng was even more angry and said: "Captain, these bandits are so bold that they dare to attack our anti-Japanese team. We can't let them go lightly."

Sun Kui also nodded and said: "The robberies are all coming to our Central Military Forces. We are so damn brave."

Facing the excitement of his subordinates, Xu Qingfeng didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Pass me the order, the guard platoon, the 1st infantry squadron, and the machine gun squadron immediately cancel the rest and gather urgently!"

"Yes!" Sun Kui, Chen Qifeng, Wang Tiezhu and others all took orders in unison, and assembled their troops separately.

Xu Qingfeng asked the scout who came to report the news again: "Do you know where the bandits who ambushed you came from?"

The scout shook his head and said, "I don't even know about this humble position."

Xu Qingfeng frowned when he heard this and said, "It seems that we need to find out where the bandits are coming from before we can take action."

After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered the scouts: "Go and find your platoon leader Lei immediately, and tell him to find a few nearby villages to inquire about the bandits in a radius of a hundred miles. As soon as you have news, report to me immediately." report."

"Yes!" the reconnaissance soldier responded, quickly turned around and took the order to leave.

After about 5 minutes, the guard platoon, the 1st infantry squadron, and the machine gun squadron completed the assembly.

At this time, the guard platoon and the reconnaissance platoon still had 50 people, and the first infantry squadron and the machine gun squadron had few casualties, and there were still nearly a hundred people.

Therefore, even if the reconnaissance platoon was removed, Xu Qingfeng still had more than 200 troops at his disposal.

Moreover, due to three consecutive small-scale victories in Hexian area, a lot of seizures were made.

Their army has sufficient ammunition, and the ratio of machine gun firepower to grenades far exceeds that of the general national army and Japanese army.

The most important thing is that these more than 200 officers and soldiers are all hard-blooded veterans who have experienced the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the elite who fought for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, as long as Xu Qingfeng found out about the bandits, Xu Qingfeng would destroy them without hesitation.

What he is most worried about now is not that he cannot destroy the bandits, but that the bandits will harm Wang Changgui and another reconnaissance soldier.

Although Wang Changgui was from the Secret Service, he was also a veteran who had experienced bloody battles. It was not worth it to die in the hands of these bandits.

Fortunately, Lei Xiong's work efficiency is still very fast.

Less than an hour later, Lei Xiong personally rode back with his men.

When he came to Xu Qingfeng, he stood at attention and saluted: "Captain, we have found out, there is only one group of bandits in a hundred miles around, and that is Yue Tieshan and others entrenched in Yehuling.

According to the people in the vicinity, this Yue Tieshan was originally from the Feng family. When the Nationalist Government made the Northern Expedition and the Feng army was defeated, Yue Tieshan brought some stragglers to this Yehuling.

Usually, they rob people and ambushe merchants passing through the border. "

"Wild Fox Ridge?" Xu Qingfeng frowned and asked, "Do you know where Wild Fox Ridge is? Can you find it on the map?"

Sun Kui and Chen Qifeng hurriedly looked at the map, but Lei Xiong said: "Captain, I brought back two fellow villagers who often go hunting in the mountains, they can guide us."

"Huh?" Xu Qingfeng said a little surprised: "You didn't force me?"

Lei Xiong quickly shook his head and said: "No, they heard that we are the Central Army and are coming to suppress the bandits, so they are willing to lead us the way."

"That's good, remember, we are not bandits, nor warlords, nor Japanese devils and puppet soldiers.

No matter what time it is, you can't do things that are sorry to the common people, otherwise don't blame me for disregarding my past friendship! "

Xu Qingfeng took the opportunity to remind everyone that he was really worried that during the retreat and transfer of the troops, his group of arrogant and powerful generals would do things that violated military discipline.

After all, this was common within the national army at that time.

Especially for a defeated army, it is difficult to maintain military discipline.

However, as a modern soldier who was born under the red flag, Xu Qingfeng would never allow his troops to do anything that would disgrace the common people.

Not to mention the righteousness of the nation, it is just their remnant soldiers who want to gain a firm foothold in the Dabie Mountains and obtain supplements and development.

You must not harm the people, otherwise you will lose the support of the people.

The 80 elite national troops were still surrounded by 60 people's sons.

It is no exaggeration to describe the huge difference between the combat effectiveness of troops with and without the support of the common people.

80 vs. 60, I have the advantage, and I get all the micro operations, which is a good proof.

Sun Kui, Chen Qifeng, Wang Tiezhu, Lei Xiong and others are all old subordinates who followed Xu Qingfeng from the Songhu battlefield and escaped from death all the way.

Seeing that Xu Qingfeng was so serious, he didn't dare to play games, and they all stood up to attention and responded in unison: "Yes!"

Xu Qingfeng immediately ordered: "The guard platoon will take the guides, open a road ahead of me, and advance towards Yehu Ridge.

No. 1 Squadron, Machine Gun Squadron took all the weapons and equipment, and then followed up. "

After saying that, Xu Qingfeng told Lei Xiong alone: ​​"Platoon Commander Lei, you lead a squad and continue to maintain cruising alert in the direction of He County to prevent the Japanese from pursuing troops.

Other reconnaissance platoon fighters, follow the guard platoon! "

"Yes!" Lei Xiong and others all accepted the order in unison and quickly split up to take action.

Yehuling, bandit's village.

Bandit leader Yue Tieshan brought a group of bandits under his wing, escorted Wang Changgui and a scout soldier, and had just returned to the village.

Originally, after capturing Wang Changgui and the others, Yue Tieshan planned to kill them directly and then take away the horses and equipment.

However, the begging for mercy of the scout soldier who was captured together with Wang Changgui saved them.

It turns out that this reconnaissance soldier was a former Northeastern Army prisoner rescued by Xu Qingfeng when he attacked Wujiang.

The Northeastern accent he spoke in desperation made Yue Tieshan give up the idea of ​​​​murdering.

It was decided to take the two of them back to the village first and then make plans.

Therefore, after returning to the mountain stronghold, he ignored Wang Changgui and directly summoned the scout soldier from the Northeast Army alone. ,
He asked in Northeastern dialect: "Where in the Northeast are you from? Are you from the Northeast Army as well?"

The reconnaissance fighters were nervous and didn't dare to hide it. They nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I am from Tieling. I used to belong to the Northeast Army, but later I joined the Huben Regiment."

Of course, the main reason was that he also recognized that this bandit leader also had a Northeastern accent.

"Hu Ben regiment?" Yue Tieshan asked with a blank face, "What kind of army is this?"

"The Huben Regiment belongs to the 87th Division of the National Army, and it is a first-class ace unit."

Speaking of his unit number, the reconnaissance soldier was quite proud, and for a moment he forgot his fear.

"The 87th Division? The Central Army of the Nationalist Government?" Yue Tieshan asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes." The scouts nodded repeatedly.

"Damn it, you traitor. Our Northeastern Army and the Central Army have sworn enemies. How dare you betray the commander-in-chief and the young marshal and join the Central Army?"

Yue Tieshan was furious when he heard the words, and immediately pulled out his pistol.

The reconnaissance soldier was startled and quickly explained: "Good man, the marshal has died a long time ago, and the young marshal is no longer in the Northeast."

"What did you say?" Yue Tieshan was taken aback: "The commander-in-chief is dead? The young commander-in-chief is not in the northeast anymore? Then who has the final say in the northeast now?

What about our Northeastern Army? "

It turns out that Yue Tieshan and the others became bandits and hid in the deep mountains and old forests. In addition, the local troops of the Nationalist Government deliberately blockaded and suppressed them.

They didn't know that the outside world had already changed, and they thought it was the warlord period when the Feng army and the southern national army were fighting.

"The Northeast has long been occupied by the Japanese devils, and the commander-in-chief was also killed by them.

Our Northeast Army is now joining forces with the Central Army to fight the Japanese devils. Our Huben Regiment is the most powerful anti-Japanese force!
Our regiment leader is the first-class hero in this world, a great hero, and we have been winning battles with him! "

When the reconnaissance soldiers talked about Xu Qingfeng, they were full of motivation and no longer had any fear.

Yue Tieshan saw that he spoke so magically, he also became interested, and said: "Tell me carefully, what is going on outside now.

And what kind of Huben group of yours, is the group leader so awesome?I was blown to the sky by you.

If you make it clear, I will save your life for the sake of being a fellow from the Northeast.

If you dare to lie to me, I will throw you into the Dabie Mountains to feed the wild wolves! "
