At the beginning, Wu Chenxuan's gang raided Ling Hai with a pair of real and fake horse bandits, although this master ordered to directly destroy all the captured light and heavy weapons, and retreated with only machine guns and bullets. However, Xu Xiaodong, the commander of the infantry battalion who had passed, still took the opportunity to carry supplies and hid more than 200 brand-new Mosinagan rifles and several boxes of rifle bullets in the carriage that hauled the machine guns.

The brigade of men and horses hit the official road and walked out seventy or eighty miles in one go. When he arrived at the Qi family's shack and took care of the horses and sorted out the cart, Wu Chenxuan limped and realized that there seemed to be a lot of bits and pieces in his team. Xu Xiaodong, who had a simple face, had to squeeze toothpaste to confess his evil deeds of hiding private goods, looking at the cannon barrel tied under the cart and disguised as wheels, so that a Russian four-wheeled carriage was almost transformed into a six-wheeled truck, as well as boxes of shells and bullets under the grass in the carriage, Wu Chenxuan had a clearer understanding of the cunning of the Chinese peasants. Throwing these things away now is obviously not cheap, Lao Maozi is just letting the surrounding beards be picked up to harm the people, and he doesn't dare to use blasting to deal with them, so as not to let Lao Maozi catch up when he hears the news.

"Okay, you Xu Xiaodong, you can carry these things, if Lao Maozi catches up with him at that time, I will see if you can smash a few with a cannon barrel. You said that your size is also a pipe belt, and there are a few cannons and small cannons under your hands, and Lao Tzu has never shortened your guns and ammunition. Why are your eyelids so shallow, it's like a rake everywhere, and you don't want to die even and tatters" Wu Chenxuan scolded with his head and face, Xu Xiaodong just smirked and didn't explain. Wu Chenxuan always felt that there always seemed to be a kind of proud show off in this guy's smile, and finally Xu Xiaodong was satisfied and was kicked twice by Wu Chenxuan on the ass, and a "get out" made this guy walk out of the command post with his head held high, and the two obvious mud footprints on the buttocks were not wiped off, as if there were two medals hanging on it.

The 4th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Russian Army had no time to pursue the Japanese horse bandits killed by the sky, so they had to hurriedly bury the old Maozi soldiers who died in battle, and retreated in the direction of Fengtian with the wounded. The 4th Regiment, with a large number of wounded men and half of them without guns, was able to defend itself after rounding out the remnants of its cavalry. However, just because of these shortages of food and ammunition, and the defeated remnants of the army, if they want to participate in the battle on the periphery of Lushun, that is, the birthday boy eats arsenic * frost - he is tired and crooked.

Although there was no pursuit, but Wu Chenxuan and the team did not dare to be too ostentatious, leaving the official road, they finally broke away from the war zone, this day into a village group in western Liaoning, although the people were sleepy but the infantry did not relax their vigilance.

"Report, some Lianzhuang will be on guard in the village ahead, they seem to have spotted us, and just now our spearhead found out that the other party is assembling in the tunzi." Hearing the return of his scouts, Wu Chenxuan, who had been bored on horseback for the past few days, came to his senses. In this season of heavy snow and mountain closure, the average village is in Maodong, I didn't expect this village to be so vigilant, it sounds like the armed forces are not bad.

"Let's go, pick up this dogskin, let's change our clothes and meet these heroes, anyway, we have also been an insurance team. It's a peer. As soon as Wu Chenxuan lifted the reins of his horse, more than 300 infantry on horseback rushed over to the village on the side of the avenue with a big cart hula hula.

"By the way, what is the name of this village, do you understand?" Wu Chenxuan asked, and the scout hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

"Back to the general seat, this village is the jurisdiction of Xinmin Mansion, and the surrounding tunzi are all Shandong villagers who have broken into the eastern part of the country, and they don't have a serious name, but the big tunzi stationed in the insurance team heard that it is called Octagonal Terrace."

"Octagonal platform? It sounds familiar. Wait a while, enter the village area and prepare for defense first, prepare machine guns and grenadiers, and play eagles all day long so as not to let the eagles peck their eyes. ”

"Yes, Chief." The herald quickly conveyed the order, and Xu Haidong commanded the machine gun team to choose the flat ground outside the village to set up the heavy machine gun, and the heavy machine gun on the carriage also ripped off the canvas, and the bullet chain was inserted into the ammunition supply port. The snipers also scattered in all directions, and the scope of the Qin crossbow battlefield sniper rifle was opened, controlling the peripheral points of the village. When they were fast into the village, the brigade dispersed in defensive formation, but there was no movement in the village, and the two sides faced each other across the earthen fence of the village.

"Go, put on the white flag, find someone who can be in charge, and say that we are the new army of the Qing Dynasty, sent by the imperial court, and there are military affairs that need to be crossed, let them take the road to walk, and allow you to show your identity as a guerrilla."

"Yes, Chief." Xu Xiaodong's deputy helped to take the two soldiers on the horse, found a branch of the white cloak behind him and hung it, and slowly looked at the octagonal platform.

It really made Wu Chenxuan guess that the leading brother of the Octagonal Insurance Team was none other than Zhang Laoqi Zhang Yuting, and he and his sworn brothers Zhang Jinghui and Tang Erhu were discussing how to deal with this group of teams of unknown origin.

"Old pimple, do you think this group of people has a small nose?" Tang Erhu is the eldest brother of the alliance, although he admires Zhang Yuting's little brother very much, but he is used to calling Zhang Yuting and always can't change his mouth, anyway, now a few people are still a brother who stirs a horse spoon in a pot, and no one will pick on it. "If it's a little nose, let's do it or not, anyway, the governor of Lao Maozi gave a reward, and killing a few little devils is enough for us to have a fat year."

"Kill the little nose? I said, Brother Erhu, aren't you stupid? This little nose is so obedient that it will be delivered to your door for you to kill. Zhang Jinghui pouted, this big brother is good at everything, but he is too murderous, and he has a tendon in his brain and does not turn. That old Maozi has done all the bad things, and he is famous for talking as a fart, here you kill a few little noses, even if you hand in the name and get on the thief ship of Lao Maozi, if the little nose is defeated, Lao Maozi will be repaid, but if the little nose wins, this octagonal platform can still live. Zhang Jinghui is a person in this tunzi, so he naturally has to think about the life and death of the local people in this hometown, but he is not like Tang Erhu, a bachelor who eats enough for his family and is not hungry, and he comes and goes without worry. Killing a little nose in his own tun, such a taboo thing, he Zhang Jinghui couldn't agree to anything.

"Brother Erhu, I think we still have to think twice about this matter, we have to think about the old and young masters in this tunzi, this group of people is not three or five, that is three or four hundred troops, not to mention whether we can eat more than five hundred broken guns, even if we can eat one and a half of them, and leak the news, even if the old Maozi speaks, the little nose can't give up, where can the old and young in this tunzi hide in the winter, is it possible that Chengdu followed us into the old forest, and he had to freeze to death and starve to death in the forest?" Zhang Yuting's mind is also a little similar to Zhang Jinghui, it turns out that he is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, he has a bad life, he is rich and rich in life and death, and it is easy to put on shoes, this scene is not big, but it is not something that can be given up casually.

When a few people were in a dilemma, a little minions ran in, "Big boss, those soldiers are not small noses, they say that they are the new army of our Great Qing Kingdom." I want to take a walk. ”

The three brothers felt that this matter was strange, and hurriedly went to Tuweizi to take a look, and it was good to see three officers and soldiers wearing Western-style military uniforms outside Tuweizi riding horses in circles outside, and a soldier with a loud voice waved a white flag and shouted loudly: "Folks, we are the new army of the imperial court, and we are going to the Jilin General's Mansion on business according to the military order of the imperial court, and please make way for everyone, don't delay the military affairs." ”

This set of rhetoric naturally will not make the three brothers Zhang Lao Pimple believe it, but looking at the big braid behind the military hat of the comer, it doesn't seem to be fake, if it is a soldier of the imperial court, he refuses to cross the border or simply starts, it is equivalent to a blatant rebellion, although the court has decayed, but the rebellion This kind of ruined work will not be adopted by these three until they have to, and several people are also indecided.

"Two brothers, anyway, the other party is headed by three officers and soldiers, why don't we let them in and listen to what they have to say?" Zhang Lao pimple said that this realistic version of Song Gongming has actually wanted to get an official skin, but the rivers and lakes are sinister, and he is not a gullible person.

"I think it's only time to act at the opportunity, and if it's a soldier of the imperial court, it's okay to let the way out. However, even officers and soldiers must be on guard, as the old saying goes, bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and officials are like shavings. It's hard to say whether these guys are wolf cubs or not. Zhang Jinghui didn't agree to let these soldiers into the tunzi, but it was not easy to say that he was the king of the mountain, so he had to drive around

"I think it's okay. Anyway, it's more secure not to let them into the tunzi first. Brothers, too, have to show their moves, if these people plan to smash the kiln, we can't say it, and we have to go against his mother" Tang Erhu is not a real tiger goods, he can mix up to today's achievements, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is not less, and the little Jiujiu in his heart is clear.

"Then it's decided, the two brothers will show me the enemy's formation, and wait for me to explore the truth and reality." Zhang Yuting is worthy of Zhang Dashuai, who later became the king of the Northeast, this person's courage, vision and mind are all first-class, and even their luck is also raised by their family, so they can entrench themselves in the three northeastern provinces in the years after the Russo-Japanese War.

After some negotiation with the gang, this gangster took a soldier to temporarily rest in the shack outside the door, in fact, he was a hostage under the nose of the Octagonal Insurance Team, and another soldier took Zhang Yuting and galloped towards the position of the Wuyi New Army a few hundred meters away.

After crossing a gentle slope, Zhang Zuolin saw a group of soldiers wearing winter clothes and white cloaks in ambush in the snow, and even the rifles were wrapped with white strips of cloth. Some soldiers are still operating a small iron pipe, although they don't know the value of this thing, but judging from the fact that there are officers on the other side who are constantly holding clairvoyants to observe the earthen enclosure, this thing is probably a super-small artillery, and their own earthen enclosure can block the gun, but it is impossible to block so many artillery, although it seems that these cannons are too compact. Machine guns are now a rarity in the Northeast, but what surprised Zhang Yuting was that there were more than a dozen heavy machine guns in this team of three or four hundred people.

When Zhang Yuting was looking around at the strength of this family, and was secretly speechless in his heart, a hearty laugh sounded at the gate of a courtyard: "Zhang Yushuai, can our new army be counted as the eyes of our predecessors?" ”
