I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 175
In fact, Xu Qingfeng didn't really believe that these bandits were sincere, so he made a seemingly unreasonable and overbearing request.

But this is a necessary requirement, because now it is the independent brigade that has the absolute initiative and advantage.

Instead of bandits like Yue Tieshan, if you don't show sincerity, let me believe that you really want to surrender.

Then why should I trust you?You can be wiped out by directly ordering an attack.

Therefore, it is not so much a request as an order.

Wang Changgui was born in the Secret Service, so he can naturally see this.

He understood even more that unless Yue Tieshan didn't want to live anymore, he would definitely not be against him, and he would not be in any danger if he went back.

Therefore, he readily stood up and saluted to accept the order, turned around and turned back.

At the gate of the village, Yue Tieshan couldn't help being surprised after hearing Wang Changgui's words: "What? You want me to go out and talk?"

Wang Changgui nodded and said: "The head of the family, our captain is a world-famous anti-Japanese hero, and he will definitely keep his word.

Therefore, if the head of the family sincerely surrenders and wants to find a future for the brothers in the cottage, you can rest assured to follow me down to meet our commander. "

Yue Tieshan fell into hesitation, looked back at Scarface and the others, and then looked up at the independent brigade waiting outside the cottage.

Finally gritted his teeth and agreed, and said to Wang Changgui: "Brother, I can go down, but I have a request, you have to stay."

Wang Changgui smiled and said: "No problem, as long as the head of the family is willing to go down, all problems will be solved."

Yue Tieshan immediately asked Scarface to go down with him, leaving others to look after Wang Changgui.

The village gate opened, and Yue Tieshan and Scarface walked a few steps side by side. They looked at the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the independent brigade waiting in front, secretly calmed down their inner tension, and then continued to walk out.

On the side of the Independent Brigade, Chen Qifeng saw Yue Tieshan and Dao Scar's faces coming out, and he was a little surprised: "Big Captain, Deputy Platoon Leader Wang seems to be detained by them."

"It's okay, with us here, they won't do anything to Wang Changgui."

Xu Qingfeng took a puff of cigarette and said very firmly.

At this time, Yue Tieshan had already walked up to the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade in front, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Sir Xu, Yue Tieshan has come down, can you come out and see me?"

Xu Qingfeng threw the few cigarette butts left in his hand at his feet, crushed them, and said to Chen Qifeng: "A Feng, come with me."

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng responded happily, immediately put away the binoculars, followed Xu Qingfeng with a pistol, and walked towards Yue Tieshan and Scarface.

After meeting, Yue Tieshan looked Xu Qingfeng up and down, then took the lead and cupped his fist with his left hand and said, "May I ask if you are Chief Xu?"

Xu Qingfeng also cupped his fists in return and said, "That's right, I'm here!"

Yue Tieshan said: "At Xiayue Tieshan, I met Chief Xu."

Xu Qingfeng nodded slightly, and suddenly asked seriously: "Why did Master Yue intercept my subordinates?"

Yue Tieshan was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Mr. Xu, I, Yue Tieshan, don't speak dark words, and the previous things were all misunderstandings.

As long as you are willing to accept us, Yue is willing to lead all the brothers in the Shanzhai to surrender, and I hope the officer will give us a chance to take our sins and make meritorious deeds. "

Yue Tieshan can't accept being soft, his life is in the hands of Xu Qingfeng and the independent brigade.

Xu Qingfeng said in a dignified voice: "Yue Da is the head of the family, and you need to submit a certificate of surrender, otherwise how can you make me believe that you will surrender and rebel?"

Yue Tieshan's heart sank and he said, "What does Chief Xu need us to do before we are willing to believe him?"

At this moment, a cavalry soldier from the reconnaissance platoon galloped over from behind.

It didn't take long before he arrived behind the big tree where Sun Kui was. After Sun Kui stopped him and questioned him, his expression changed.

Immediately got up and quickly ran to Xu Qingfeng's side, and reported in a low voice: "Captain, it's not good, the enemy's cavalry is chasing us."

"Huh?" Xu Qingfeng couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He turned to look at Sun Kui and said, "Have the Japanese discovered us?"

"Not yet, but a devil cavalry with no less than 500 troops is chasing westward, and I'm afraid it won't be long before they find us.

Even if the enemy can't find us, if we are allowed to keep chasing and mopping up like this, the people in this radius of hundreds of miles will probably suffer.

The platoon leader Lei asked if it was necessary for him to lead scouts to harass the devils and lure the enemy away. "

Xu Qingfeng fell into deep thought when he heard the words, looked up at Yue Tieshan and Scarface in front of him, and immediately took care of himself, and immediately told Sun Kui in a low voice: "Send someone to inform Lei Xiong and ask him to send the enemy to the bandit's stronghold." Bian Yin, we will join forces with the bandits under Yue Tieshan to ambush the Japanese army."

"Unite the bandits?" Sun Kui looked at Yue Tieshan and others opposite with some contempt and said: "How can this rabble help?

Don't let the devils fail to fight well at that time, but instead drag down our independent brigade. "

Xu Qingfeng said: "If it's a field battle or an encounter battle, of course they can't do it like a mob.

However, in an ambush battle where we are waiting for work and taking advantage of the danger, we are still capable of fighting.

Coincidentally, I also took this opportunity to test whether they really surrendered. "

Sun Kui nodded, followed the order and turned around.

Xu Qingfeng turned his head and said to Yue Tieshan: "Yue Da is in charge, now just has a chance to prove you."

"What chance? Please give me some advice, Chief Xu." Yue Tieshan said calmly.

Xu Qingfeng said: "Just now my scouts reported that a group of Japanese cavalry were searching and chasing our troops.

I have ordered my scouts to open fire and lead them to your cottage.

If you really surrender, open the gate of the village and let my troops in. We join forces and prepare to ambush the devils!

As long as you can cooperate with our troops to destroy these little devils, it will be enough to prove that you are a hero who sincerely surrenders and dares to go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country.

Not only can he atone for his crimes, but he is my brother Xu Qingfeng and a member of my independent brigade. "

"Devil?" Yue Tieshan and Dao Scarface couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the words, obviously very surprised.

"What? Are you scared?" Xu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone became serious.

Yue Tieshan waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid, but I dare to ask Commander Xu, how many devils are there?"

"No, three to five hundred people." Xu Qingfeng said calmly: "As long as we join forces and cooperate with each other, we will definitely be able to kill them!"

"Now let's see if you, the head of Yue Da, have the courage!"

Yue Tieshan thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and decided: "If that's the case, let's do it! From now on, the more than 100 brothers in my department will obey the orders of Chief Xu."

After saying that, Yue Tieshan simply stepped aside to give way, and invited him with his hands solemnly: "Please come into the mountain, Chief Xu!"

As he said that, he turned his head and ordered to the bandit subordinates inside: "Open the gate of the village and welcome Commander Xu and the soldiers of the Independent Brigade to enter the village!"

The bandits didn't dare to disobey, and immediately opened the gate of the village.

Xu Qingfeng waved his hand, and Sun Kui immediately led nearly a hundred officers and soldiers of the 1st Infantry Squadron and rushed in first.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qifeng and dozens of officers and soldiers of the guard platoon surrounded Xu Qingfeng and walked into the gate of the village.

As for Wang Tiezhu's machine gun squadron, they were not in a hurry to withdraw from the encirclement.

It wasn't until Sun Kui led the infantry of the 1st Squadron to join Wang Changgui and controlled all the bandits in the village.

Only then did Xu Qingfeng order Wang Tiezhu to direct the artillery and machine gunners to retreat into the village.

The cottage that Yue Tieshan and others occupy is built on the hillside, although the terrain is not considered dangerous.

However, the mountains on both sides are steep and the woods are dense, which is enough to ambush the Japanese cavalry.

All the troops entered the cottage, and Xu Qingfeng immediately ordered Sun Kui to lead the No. 1 Squadron to disarm all the bandits.

Yue Tieshan was a little anxious, he thought he had been fooled and tricked by Xu Qingfeng.

Just as he was about to ask, Xu Qingfeng took the initiative to raise his hand and said, "Don't worry about Master Yue, I have no malicious intentions.

It's just that when I came in just now, I saw that most of your brothers were still using old sleeves. This equipment is too poor.

I confiscated their old weapons and will equip them with all-Japanese-style [-] caps later! "

After finishing speaking, Xu Qingfeng ordered Wang Changgui again: "Deputy Platoon Leader Wang, take someone to the group of devils we captured to ride over with rifles, and give one to each of the people in the cottage who can use guns."

"Yes!" Wang Changgui happily accepted the order and left.

Hearing this, Yue Tieshan let go of a hanging heart.

About half an hour later, Wang Changgui went and returned, stood at attention and saluted Xu Qingfeng and reported: "Captain, everything has been done. There are a total of 58 bandits who have surrendered, and only [-] of them know how to use guns.

The humble staff allotted them Japanese weapons, each equipped with fifty rounds of ammunition, and now everyone is on standby in front of the Juyi Hall, ready to be called at any time. "

"Okay!" Xu Qingfeng nodded, and said to Yue Tieshan, who was anxious, "Yue Tieshan, from now on, I will take command of your people, are you okay?"

Yue Tieshan didn't dare to say no, so he nodded immediately and said: "Of course, no problem. Everything will be done with Chief Xu's leadership."

"Okay!" Xu Qingfeng ordered immediately: "Sun Kui!"

Sun Kui immediately stepped forward: "Yes!"

"These 58 defected bandits who know how to use guns are temporarily incorporated into your No. 1 Squadron. You immediately drive out of the village and lie in ambush in the woods outside the village gate, waiting for the devil cavalry to appear."

Xu Qingfeng ordered in a deep voice. In his opinion, with nearly a hundred veterans of the No. 1 Squadron coerced and led, he was not afraid that these 58 bandits would dare to escape.

"Yes!" Sun Kui accepted the order happily. After saluting, he immediately led the people to follow the order.

Xu Qingfeng ordered Wang Tiezhu again: "Captain Wang, take the machine gun squadron to the village gate and the hills on both sides, deploy firepower from a high position, and prepare to cooperate with the 1st Squadron and the others to ambush the Japanese."

"Yes!" Wang Tiezhu also happily accepted the order and left.

Xu Qingfeng finally gave Chen Qifeng instructions: "The guard platoon and Yue Dazhang are waiting for the dozens of bandit brothers who can't use guns to stay in the cottage and follow me as a reserve team.

When the devil cavalry is defeated, go into battle again and defeat them in one fell swoop! "

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng answered first, Yue Tieshan and Dao Scarface didn't dare to disobey, and they clasped their fists in agreement.

While Xu Qingfeng was busy arranging troops and arranging an ambush circle.

The cavalry scouts who were sent back also found Lei Xiong and others who were still monitoring the Japanese cavalry pursuing troops.

Saluted Lei Xiong and reported: "Platoon leader, the captain ordered us to open fire immediately and lead the devil cavalry to the bandit village."

"Okay." Lei Xiong immediately understood Xu Qingfeng's intentions, and immediately took orders to the cavalry and scouts around him: "Brothers, get on the horse, let's show some color to the little devil."

"Yes!" Several scouting soldiers who followed him responded in unison, and got on their horses in unison.

On the dirt road less than 500 meters away from them, a dozen devil cavalry vanguards were searching and advancing along the road.

About 500 meters behind them were the main force of more than 500 Japanese cavalry.

This group of Japanese cavalry was none other than the cavalry brigade sent by Noboru Kunisaki to pursue and suppress the Independence Brigade.

After regaining and capturing Hexian County, the cavalry captain in charge of leading the command left nearly a hundred people to defend Hexian County.

Lead the remaining more than 500 main forces to pursue and advance northwestward.

The Japanese cavalry captain, named Oshima Hirano, ranks as a lieutenant, and is considered a relatively fierce middle-level backbone officer in the 5th Division.

While leading the main force out of the city to pursue it, he also sent dozens of cavalry to act as scouts, and launched a search and reconnaissance to the north and west of the city.

Finally, it was concluded that the Chinese army that attacked Hexian County and ambushed the cavalry under Rong Shisanlang probably fled to the northwest.

For this reason, without waiting to discuss with his officers, Oshima Hirano directly ordered the main force of the cavalry to pursue the northwest.

On the way, an accompanying lieutenant and adjutant couldn't help asking: "Captain, how did you conclude that the Chinese army will definitely flee to the northwest?"

"Just some horseshoe prints that the scouts found?"

Oshima Hirano said: "Of course not, first of all, the south of He County is the Yangtze River, and the east is the occupied area of ​​the imperial army.

They can only flee to the north or northwest, and among them, the northwest is the Dabie Mountains, and it is safest for them to flee to this area. "

"If that's the case, if they really escape into the mountains, it may be difficult for us to track them down and eliminate them.

After all, the terrain here is not suitable for our cavalry pursuit maneuvers. "The lieutenant's adjutant said with some worry.

"Don't worry." Oshima Hirano said: "The detachment leader is getting angry now, and ordered us to pursue, we have to obey.

It just so happens that the area in the west of Wanxi has not yet been captured by the imperial army, so we took the opportunity to plunder, which can not only gain a lot of money, but also enhance the might of our imperial army, so why not do it? "

"What about the Chinese army that attacked He County? If we don't eliminate them, how can we report to the detachment leader?" the lieutenant asked.

"This resignation, if you can find them and destroy them on the spot, that's the best."

Oshima Hirano said: "If you can't find it, it's easy to deal with. Kill more Chinese civilians or local armed forces. It's the same. You can go back and make a difference."

Just as Oshima Hirano finished speaking, there was a rush of gunshots in front of him.
