Age of Rebirth

Chapter 610 Bandit Leader Liu Motou

The bandit leader Liu Motou, who is entrenched in the southwestern area of ​​Shandong, received a secret report from his eyeliner in Duzhuang that the Sun family compound was captured by a battalion of the central army. He was anxious to swallow 25 rats in one gulp. , Scratching his heart with claws, turning around all over the ground, he didn't want to avenge his own brother Sun Wanwan.

Liu Motou had long been looking forward to his big kowtowing brother, Sun Wanwan, to see Lord Yan sooner. The grand family wealth of the Sun family, he, his uncle, would take care of it for him. If he can't afford big waves, and still doesn't listen to his own manipulations obediently, Sun Wanwan's family fortune will be his own sooner or later.

He absolutely believes that the little hard-earned money he got from being a bandit for many years, robbing houses, kidnapping people and smashing kilns, killing people and buying goods, is not even half of Sun Wanwan's family. Get it away, the beautiful things that I have been thinking about for many years, wouldn't it be all gone?

With years of fat on his lips, and watching it fall into other people's mouths, don't mention Liu Motou, who is troublesome, but he is not so courageous, and he dare not snatch it. He is a battalion of regular soldiers. Well, with machine guns and cannons, if it doesn't work out, the family property that he has managed for many years will be ruined in this one, but he is not reconciled. [

Liu Motou suddenly patted his bald head, and remembered that more than a month ago, Mr. Wang came from the mountain. He was very elegant, literate, and spoke with a Jiaodong accent, but Liu Motou always felt weird when he listened. Yes, according to what he said, when he was doing business in Qingdao, he offended a very powerful local gang, was hunted down everywhere, and went into desperation. He heard that Mr. Liu was the head of the family. Gu came to seek refuge.

It stands to reason that with Liu Motou's consistent style of being a bandit for many years, he would never take in people of unknown origin. If he felt a little suspicious, he might as well give him a peanut and send him back to his grandma's house, but this Mr. Wang opened his mouth It can be said that he is ignorant of astronomy, geography, yin and yang gossip, and claims to be familiar with military books and understands the intricacies of war. Grind the itchy spot on his head, and leave him alone.

Arrange the position of a teacher, write and calculate, anyway, there are more than 8000 brothers in Baodugu, none of whom can read, all of them are fucking blind, Liu Motou himself even put his pole on the ground, and he didn't recognize it as a "one" I can't even find someone to write a kidnapping document. Since his surname is Wang and he says he knows how to fight, why don't you ask him, a dead horse can be a living horse doctor.

When Liu Motou told the story, Mr. Wang was very interested, asked all the details in detail, and told him directly that this matter can be done. If the Central Army takes the road, there is nothing we can do. Let the eyeliner of the village continue to inquire about the news It happened that Gu Dashan wanted to take a shortcut back to Pingyi, but he couldn't find a guide anywhere, so Mr. Wang seized the opportunity, and Mr. Wang also emboldened Liu Motou, with a pair of wolf eyes, watching the movement of the first battalion.

The two farmers who volunteered to be guides were Liu Motou's eyeliner in Dunzhuang. When he got the news, Mr. Wang immediately formed his troops. At first, Liu Motou didn't think highly of this Wang, thinking he was too timid. , More than 8000 people beat more than 1000 people, or they were intercepted halfway in the mountainous area, and they couldn't be dealt with with a machine gun and grenades?

Looking at it, Liu Motou saw some tricks, and felt that Mr. Wang was more ingenious and thoughtful in his arrangements, so he believed it three points in his heart. When he arrived at the canyon, Mr. Wang jumped back and forth and was busy directing the planting of explosives. , Distributing troops, Liu Motou was amazed, and simply handed over the command to Mr. Wang, the result was exactly as he expected, those two eyeliners really brought the Central Army into the ambush circle, allowing him to take advantage of it.

When Liu Motou went down into the canyon, he saw the white ocean and the golden bars dazzled his eyes in the sunlight. Sun Wanwan's wealth finally fell into his own hands, which was not hurtful. Without compromising his prestige, such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern. He was proud of it and laughed wildly. Mr. Wang's status in his heart immediately climbed to a new height. He was no longer a master. Instead, he was promoted to a military division.

Mr. Wang looked at the complacent Liu Motou, and reminded him to clean up the battlefield immediately, leave here as soon as possible with his things, and return to Baodugu. Remember, all traces must be destroyed, and no clues can be left. With such a big loss, we will definitely not let it go, we can't let the Central Army catch it.

Mr. Wang said these words to those big and small bandit leaders. These guys, with their black eyes only staring at the white money, ignored Mr. Wang's tricks at all. Liu Mo became angry and scolded these minions One call, tell them that in the future, what Mr. Wang said is what I said, and I praised Mr. Wang for his carefulness and thoughtfulness.

The bandits brought blood-stained oceans, gold bars, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade, and returned to their old nest Baodugu contentedly. More than 200 soldiers will forever sleep on this land, and they will never be able to open their young eyes to see the sky and land in Southwest Shandong.

The first battalion was surrounded by bandits in the canyon near Guimengding, and soon reported it to Han Tie in Xuzhou. Han Tie was taken aback, and immediately ordered the troops of the three regiments that had assembled in Pingyi to rush to reinforce, and immediately , and received a report from Pingyi County, lost contact with the first battalion, and the radio station did not respond. Han Tie's heart was shrouded in an ominous cloud.

During the fierce battle, what does it mean to lose contact with the troops? Han Tie didn't dare to think about it. He sent a second telegram, urging the reinforcements to rush to the Guimengding area at any cost and at the fastest speed. When the Motou Gang withdrew from the battlefield, the reinforcements were still more than a day away from the canyon.

The reinforcements marched all day and night with hundreds of non-combat downsizing. Finally, the next morning, they arrived at the place where the battle took place. They were very close and did not hear any gunshots. The brigade commander's heart sank. There was no gunfire. Does that mean that the whole army of the first battalion was wiped out?He didn't want to believe it.

The canyon came into view, and there were traces of the fierce battle everywhere. The permafrost and stones in the valley were turned up, and the shells were everywhere. It is conceivable how fierce the battle was. What made it difficult for the soldiers to accept was that the remains of more than 1000 comrades-in-arms, It was covered with the land devastated by the flames of war, and the dark red blood had solidified into patches of blood, staining the ground beneath him red.

None of the weapons were intact. The four [-]-type infantry guns had been blown up, and there were scattered weapon parts everywhere. Before the comrades sacrificed, they destroyed all the weapons to prevent them from falling into the hands of the bandits. Here, what made the soldiers extremely angry and distressed was that there were marks of bayonets all over the bodies of their comrades in arms. A few knives, for fear that suddenly a soldier will jump up and die with them.

On the sunny hillside, under the green pines and cypresses, the new tombs were neatly arranged. During the period, the howling mountain wind passed over the treetops, whimpering like weeping, and could not blow away the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers. More than 200 soldiers The comrades-in-arms are buried here. A tall tombstone stands in front of the grave, which reads "North China Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army, the tomb of the comrades-in-arms who died in the First Battalion and Third Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Henan Garrison Corps of the Yellow River! All the independent division stands, "The white stubble tombstone, with large black characters, is dignified and depressing.

Nearly [-] guns pointed at the blue sky, and the guns spewed out angry flames. The bursts of gunfire startled the forest birds and the mountain wind, and echoed among the mountains and pine forests for a long time, like Several vengeful hearts were shouting, and nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes shot out angry flames. They swear to their comrades who have been buried here forever, that they will pay for their debts with blood.

When Tang Qiuquan arrived in Xuzhou, Han Tiezheng was sitting in the headquarters with a livid face, holding a telegram in his hand, his teeth clenched tightly, Zhou Zheng's face was distorted, looking hideous and terrifying, his heart was full of self-blame, I was too eager to open up the situation in southern Shandong and southwestern Shandong. I didn't fully consider the banditry. The troops were too scattered, with more than 8000 people scattered on thousands of square kilometers of land. This event is also normal.

However, Han Tie couldn't forgive himself, he had to admit that he didn't take these bandits to heart, was it easier to fight than well-trained little devils?If the thought of underestimating the enemy in the Yellow River Henan Defense Corps is widespread, the root lies in himself. This responsibility cannot be removed. He has already sent a telegram asking for punishment to the division commander Tang Qiuli, asking the division commander to remove the commander of his corps. duty. [

At the same time, as the commander of the corps, he signed an order to remove the head of the third regiment of the fourth brigade, and sent it to the investigation office of the division headquarters, where the deputy head took over as head of the regiment. He didn't understand the marching process of the troops below, and the order to return to the construction did not conform to the actual situation, so that it led to the tragedy of the first battalion being wiped out this time.

From the Bloody Hand Regiment to the Independent Division, Han Tie has experienced all the battles. Even in the Northeast, facing the superior strength of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army, the troops have not been wiped out by the establishment. However, such a thing, but His own corps took place in a situation where the army was strong enough to wipe out hundreds of thousands of terrorists. Every time he thought of this, Han Tie's heart hurt like a knife, and he couldn't forgive himself.

Tang Qiuli, who had just rushed back to Zhengzhou, just got off the plane and before he could sit still, Mei Xue hurriedly sent three telegrams, one was the telegram of Gu Dashan forwarded by Hantie, and the other was the telegram of the annihilation of the first battalion One is a telegram that Han Tie asked to be dismissed. Of these three telegrams, he was quite surprised.

Tang Qiuli had the same idea as Han Tie, a battalion full of people was wiped out. This is a serious incident that has never occurred in the history of an independent division forming an army. However, the telegram sent by Gu Dashan before his death caused even more a He noticed that the bandits in Shandong had changed in nature, and there were Communist secret agents intervening behind them.

It may be difficult to quickly complete the task of suppressing bandits relying solely on the existing troops. The loss of all the first battalion angered Tang Qiuli. He decided to send a large-scale increase in troops to Shandong.
