By the way, I also reconnoitred Lingshou and other places on the spot in case of accidents, after all, in this troubled world, you can never predict what will happen in the next second or tomorrow.

Xu Guoren looked at the map before setting off, and judging from the map, with the strength of his own brigade, it must be a bit of a waste to only garrison a small county town in Pingyang.

Moreover, judging from the position of the Northeast Army recruiting itself, it is not difficult to judge that Zhang Shaoshuai, Yu Xuezhong and other high-ranking officials of the Northeast Army want to use themselves to achieve control over the central area of Hebei, especially the Zhengtai Railway Line and the northern section of the Pinghan Railway.

Therefore, Xu Guoren has reason to believe that when the expansion of his troops is completed, the other party will definitely find an opportunity to expand his defense area, and Pingyang and Lingshou are just the starting point.

The three days passed quickly, and after consideration, Xu Guoren left the second and third battalions in Pingyang to guard the prisoners and maintain order, and personally led the guard company, reconnaissance company and the main battalion to collect borrowed oxen and carriages from all over Pingyang, and secretly rushed to Xiaoniuzhuang Station.

Because the ox carts and horse-drawn carts were empty when they went, the officers and men of the guard company and the first battalion could take the car, which saved the hard work of walking, and the speed was much faster.

Therefore, it only took more than two hours for Xu Guoren to arrive at Xiaoniuzhuang Station with the team.

An hour ago, at the Little Cow Village station, there was originally only a local security team responsible for the security of the station.

But with the arrival of a freight train, about a company of the Northeast Army rushed down from the train, scattered violently with guns, and alerted the entire Xiaoniuzhuang station.

Zhang Dongsheng is the person in charge of the escort of the quartermasters, and the 25-year-old is a graduate of the Northeast Lecture and Martial Arts Hall, a native of Northeast China, and now a captain and company commander of the Northeast Frontier Army.

After arranging the vigilance, he raised his hand to look at the time, looked into the distance, and asked an adjutant next to him: "Has Shangfeng notified this independent 88th brigade?" ”

The adjutant replied, "Before I came, I heard that I had been notified three days ago, and it stands to reason that they should be waiting for us here, why haven't we seen anyone yet?" ”

Zhang Dongsheng sighed and said, "Wait, with such a large amount of military supplies, it is impossible for them not to take it seriously." Let the brethren all be vigilant, just in case. ”

"Yes!" The adjutant hurriedly stepped forward to agree.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out, and the soldiers of the Northeast Army outside the station were shot and fell to the ground.

Zhang Dongsheng and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly took out their pistols and prepared to fight.

However, at this moment, a violent explosion suddenly occurred under the ground of the station.

Boom Boom! Deafening explosions sounded one after another, and a dazzling burst of fire rose into the sky, and Zhang Dongsheng was not far from one of the explosion points, and together with the adjutant beside him, he was knocked to the ground by the blast wave on the spot, and he lost consciousness when he landed.

Without the unified command of the commander, and the fact that some of the security guards at the previous stations suddenly turned back and opened fire, hundreds of well-equipped Northeast Army troops were taken by surprise and could not organize an effective defense and counterattack at all.

In addition, they also had an advantage in the number of people who attacked them, and the weapons and equipment were not bad, and the marksmanship was also very accurate, so soon, they were surrounded by regiments, and under the heavy casualties, the remaining Northeast Army finally chose to surrender.

"We just need money, fast, take as much as we can!" A leading man waved his hand and commanded the subordinates.

"This batch of supplies seems to be expensive, there are better guys, let the brothers take some away!" A masked female bandit with a cold gaze said.

When Xu Guoren arrived with his troops, the entire station was in shambles, and all kinds of military supplies were scattered from the open train car doors to the station platforms and around the tracks.

"Brigadier Commander, something seems to be wrong here!" Niu Dagen took out his gun vigilantly, and at the same time ordered the soldiers of the guard platoon beside him: "Be vigilant and prepare for battle!" ”

Xu Guoren also took out his Mauser pistol, and it seemed that someone had robbed him of his military supplies. At this time, the voice of Guo Xiaoliu, the commander of the reconnaissance company, came from the front: "Brigade commander, there is a situation here, come and take a look." ”

When Xu Guoren and Niu Dagen heard this, they immediately ran over with the guards, and at the same time, Xu Guoren ordered the first battalion: "Each company of the first battalion is ready for battle, and send sharp soldiers to search within a radius of five miles to see if there is any suspicious situation." ”

Hundreds of officers and men of the first battalion quickly acted in accordance with the order and moved separately.

Xu Guoren and others trotted all the way, and the bodies of the dead Northeast Army and station security guards could be seen everywhere along the way.

Coming to a train surrounded by Guo Xiaoliu and others, Xu Guoren asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's a living person in there." Guo Xiaoliu said: "They are all tied hand and foot, and it seems that they are all surrendered Northeast Army." ”

"Untie them all and put them down." Xu Guoren immediately ordered.

Soon, more than thirty living Northeast Army troops were let go and walked out of the train wagon.

Xu Guoren glanced at them and asked, "What happened?" How so? ”

One of the platoon commanders of the Northeast Army looked up at Xu Guoren and said dejectedly: "We have been attacked, and all the salaries and some weapons and ammunition for the 88th Independent Brigade have been robbed. ”

"Damn, who dares to rob me of Xu Guoren's military salary?" Xu Guoren was furious when he heard this.

"Chief is Xu Guoren?" The platoon commander of the Northeast Army was a little surprised.

"That's right, I am Xu Guoren, the colonel of the newly formed 88th Independent Brigade." Xu Guoren nodded proudly and said, "What attacked you?" ”

The platoon commander of the Northeast Army hurriedly gave a military salute first, and then said: "I don't know much about my humble position, it seems to be a group of bandits." ”

"Bandits?" Xu Guoren frowned when he heard this, and continued to ask, "You are the supreme commander in charge of this escort mission?" ”

The platoon commander of the Northeast Army remembered Zhang Dongsheng at this time, and his eyes searched left and right, and suddenly pointed to the two people lying not far away: "Where is our company commander?" So saying, he ran over.

Xu Guoren and others also walked over, but the platoon commander of the Northeast Army was very righteous, held Zhang Dongsheng in his arms, and found that he was still breathing, and immediately shouted at Xu Guoren and others with a crying voice: "Our company commander is still alive, who will save him!" ”

Xu Guoren didn't bring Chen Zhiyuan over this time, so he had to wave his hand and order: "Sixth son, send a carriage to send the wounded back to Pingyang for treatment immediately, quickly." ”

"Yes!" Guo Xiaoliu happily accepted the order.

It didn't take long for Zhang Dongsheng, who was in a coma, and several other wounded soldiers of the Northeast Army who were still alive to be carried into a carriage and sent to Pingyang.

"What's your name?" Xu Guoren saw that the second lieutenant platoon commander was concerned about his commander from the bottom of his heart, and asked.

"Zhang Baoguo." The second lieutenant platoon commander hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

"I still protect the country, and I can't even protect a batch of military supplies." Niu Dagen didn't have a good impression of Zhang Baoguo and other Northeast Army because he lost his military salary, so he couldn't help but pout and sarcastically.

"At that time, there were enemy responses in the station security team, and we were caught off guard, and they also planted explosives at the station in advance, which injured our company commander, so they succeeded." Zhang Baoguo couldn't help but argue.

"Pull it, no matter what, it's a group of bandits, you can't even beat the bandits, it's really a shame for the Northeast Army." Niu Dagen said proudly: "Do you know how many bandits our security group has destroyed since its establishment? ”

"Dagen, this is the end of the matter, don't blame them." Xu Guoren stopped Niu Dagen, turned his head and said to Guo Xiaoliu, who had already returned: "Sixth son, you bring the cavalry reconnaissance company to expand the search area for me, I want to see who dares to rob our 88th Independent Brigade of military salaries and supplies!" ”

"Yes!" Guo Xiaoliu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and then turned around and strode away.

"Dagen, notify the first battalion to withdraw, and load the remaining weapons, ammunition and other materials back first." Xu Guoren instructed Niu Dagen again.
