Chapter 69: Escape

It didn't take long for Chen Zhiyuan to bring the information that Xu Guoren wanted, and the details of the information were simply beyond Xu Guoren's expectations, and it can be seen that the reason why the Red Army was able to repeatedly turn evil into good fortune and become more courageous the more they fought was that in addition to the art of command, the Communist Party's intelligence organization strength was also the same.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Guoren is eager to join the Communist Party, only by leading his troops to change the flag and join the Red Army can he share the intelligence information of the underground party, so that he can be invincible.

It is impossible to get this kind of intelligence support if you continue to stay in the Northeast Army.

Moreover, Xu Guoren is unwilling to be in the company of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, exploiting and oppressing the people, and belongs to the outliers, so whether he votes for the Communist Party or not, the other party will not let him go, and sooner or later he will definitely be removed.

In contrast, Xu Guoren would of course choose to join the Red Army.

"According to intelligence, this time the enemy army has mobilized a total of two divisions of the Jinsui Army, one division of the Northwest Army, and two divisions of the Northeast Army have also received orders and are marching from the Pingjin area along the Pinghan Railway towards Baoding." Chen Zhiyuan took the information and said to Xu Guoren: "It is worth mentioning that this division of the Northwest Army is the twenty-sixth division of Chifeng City, the 30th Division, which suffered a loss last time.

And the Jin Sui Army is also the unit of the regiments that were wiped out by us before. It can be said that they all came with anger this time and wanted revenge! ”

Xu Guoren took the telegram and read it carefully, it contained the basic details such as the numbers of the enemy's various units, the firepower of the troops and other units, as well as the current location of the enemy's troops, the names of the commanders of each unit, and so on.

After reading it, Xu Guoren laughed loudly: "Great, with this information, we can know ourselves and the enemy, plus the reconnaissance cooperation of our cavalry reconnaissance company, we can anticipate the enemy's opportunity and win." ”

Chen Zhiyuan didn't know much about military affairs, after all, he was engaged in intelligence work, so he nodded with a smile: "It's good to be useful, but this time the enemy has an absolute advantage in strength, and it is menacing, so you can't be too careless." ”

Xu Guoren nodded and said, "Of course I won't do this!" Old Chen, please take someone to Pingyang, I will lead my troops to attack and face the battle. ”

"Let's keep in touch with the radio!"

"Okay, I'll wait at home for your triumphant return!" Chen Zhiyuan said.

Half an hour later, Xu Guoren left Chen Zhiyuan with more than 500 troops, and personally led more than 4,000 people from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments, artillery battalions, cavalry reconnaissance companies, and guard companies to leave Pingyang and rush eastward.

Xu Guoren's target was the Jin Sui Army, which was advancing west along the Zhengtai Railway Line from the direction of Shimen, and the Jin Sui Army's combat effectiveness was a little weaker than that of the 31st Division in Chifeng City.

In this battle against encirclement and suppression, the enemy has the advantage of troops, and if he wants to win, he naturally needs to break through each one.

During the march, Guo Hu rushed to catch up with Xu Guoren and said to him: "Brother, Zhao Wen and other gendarmes and agents who were arrested by us before, should we slaughter them to prevent future troubles?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being, keep it for now, and then take them to sacrifice the flag when needed." Xu Guoren pulled the reins of the war horse slightly, signaled it to slow down, and turned his head.

"Oh, that's good." While the two were talking, Guo Danian rode up angrily, and shouted to Xu Guoren at the top of his voice: "Brother Guoren, something happened!" ”

Xu Guoren hurriedly turned his horse back and asked, "What's wrong?" So flustered! ”

Guo Danian said angrily and anxiously: "A group of captured veterans in my three regiments have fled!" also killed two reconnaissance company soldiers on the periphery, and the sixth son has already led some men and horses of the reconnaissance company to chase after him! ”

Xu Guoren was furious when he heard this, and scolded angrily: "Damn, is it the captured soldiers of the Jin Sui Army or the Northwest Army?" ”

"It's those rabbit cubs of the Jin Suijun!" Guo Danian said: "Usually they are more stabbing than others, during this time they are busy with training, and they have not found a chance to repair them, I didn't expect them to dare to be deserters!" ”

Xu Guoren laughed angrily: "But it's okay to run away at this time, if you really wait for the battlefield to escape, it will have a big impact." ”

Guo Hu asked, "Brother, what should we do now?" ”

Xu Guoren turned the horse's head at the moment, and said awe-inspiringly; "Huzi, you take the troops to the front thirty miles to wait for me, and be vigilant. Danian went with me to arrest those deserters, just to set an example for chickens and monkeys, and deter Xiaoxiao! ”

After speaking, Xu Guoren waved his hand behind him and said, "Guard Company, follow me!" ”

"Yes!" Niu Dagen, Guo Hu, and Guo Danian agreed to their promises and acted according to their orders.

At this time, the guard company was already fully equipped with horses and became a cavalry guard company, with greatly improved mobility, and the reconnaissance company belonged to the best ace unit of the whole independent division.

Not only the cavalry, what good equipment is there, Xu Guoren is also a priority to equip them.

Xu Guoren took the lead, and hundreds of officers and soldiers of the guard company, under the leadership of Niu Dagen, Guo Danian and others, rode their horses and whistled to keep up.

A group of men galloped on horseback, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with the reconnaissance company.

"Division commander, the deserters fled into the woods in front, and we have fenced off the woods, what now?" Guo Xiaoliu was holding a Mauser pistol in his hand and was leading the cavalry of the reconnaissance company to surround a small forest.

Seeing Xu Guoren coming, he hurriedly said loudly.

Guo Danian was annoyed and said: "What a fart, those who escaped from the battle will not be forgiven!" Shoot me and blow them all up! ”

Xu Guoren raised his hand and said: "Those who escaped from the battle deserve to die, but you can't kill them here, you have to bring them back, and it makes sense to execute them in public!" ”

"Then these grandsons can't hide inside, what should they do?" Guo Danian frowned and said, "Otherwise, I'll lead someone to attack it." ”

Xu Guoren looked at the surrounding geographical environment and said with a smile: "No, this forest is a lonely forest, they are already turtles in the urn and can't escape, there is no need to take the lives of some brothers for these deserters." The sixth son, Dagen, took some people to collect some hay and dead wood around and set fire to the forest, not afraid that they would not come out. ”

"Yes!" The two of them happily agreed in unison, and each took one or twenty warriors with them, quickly turned over and dismounted, and collected the things to light the fire.

Soon a fire broke out around the woods, some of the trees were still very young, especially some of the dead grass was damp, and the smoke suddenly rose from the fire, and soon the whole forest was covered in smoke.

"The people inside listened, they didn't want to be burned alive, so they quickly got out of Lao Tzu, raised soldiers for a thousand days and used soldiers for a while, ate Lao Tzu, drank Lao Tzu, and dared to be deserters, it's really fucking tired and crooked!" Xu Guoren was also angry, he didn't give them a chance to choose, but since you chose to stay, the military salary was also taken, and the military food was also eaten.

When it comes to war, but you want to run, where in the world is there such a cheap good thing?

If you don't kill these people, it's not enough to boost the army!

Not long after, more than 20 deserters were choked by the smoke, and they fled from the woods in great confusion, surrounded by the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time, and disarmed and taken.

Xu Guoren didn't listen to their nonsense such as begging for mercy, and directly waved his hand and ordered them to be taken away.

More than 200 cavalrymen escorted these deserters and followed Xu Guoren in the direction of Thirty Lipu.

At the same time, Zhou Shibin was saying goodbye to his division commander Chi Fengcheng, and behind him were more than 2,000 infantry of the Northwest Army with broadswords on their backs and weapons on their shoulders.

"Master, please rest assured, Zhou Shibin will go all out this time, the surprise attack will be successful, and he will be ashamed!" Zhou Shibin confidently stood up and saluted Chi Fengcheng.

Chi Fengcheng waved his hand and said: "Well, I believe in you, but don't be too careless, so as not to repeat the mistakes of last time, although Xu Guoren is a clay-legged kid, he still has a lot of skills in marching and fighting, especially thinking about people's hearts!" I will work with the Jin Sui army to speed up from the front, put pressure on Xu Guoren's subordinates, attract the attention of their main forces as much as possible, and create an opportunity for you to surprise attack Pingyang, be careful, I will wait for your good news! Go ahead! ”
