181 The Great Battle
Whether it was He Xiaojun or Company Commander Cheng and his party, they did not expect that this big move of the bandits not only alarmed the city, but also the province and the troops, and when they were in a duel with the bandits, the princes from all walks of life were not idle, and they all turned their attention to Ningcheng, the county town besieged by bandits.
Not long after Company Commander Cheng and their troops left, a unit also followed their hind feet and marched in the direction of Ningcheng.
What followed Company Commander Cheng and their troops was the army of a company led by Company Commander Cheng's superior and his regiment commander's master.
It turned out that after receiving the enemy report from Company Commander Cheng, first, he was afraid that his subordinates and students would suffer losses in the case of insufficient troops, so as to weaken the strength of his own troops; First, considering that it was a miracle to be able to eliminate this huge number of bandits, the regiment commander surnamed Zhou immediately took a main reinforcement company of the troops around him and set off overnight.
Since the place where Commander Zhou was stationed was more than eighty kilometers away from Haishan, and they did not have a train to pick them up, they had not yet arrived at Ningcheng until He Xiaojun and they had already cleaned up the Black Tiger Village.
After receiving that Company Commander Cheng had cleaned up the bandits' lair in the neighboring county, Regiment Commander Zhou immediately changed the route of the march and drove towards the neighboring county that was closer to them at this time.
Compared with Captain Zhou, who walked over with only two feet, Platoon Leader Yang and their boss were much more relieved.
Platoon Commander Yang and the troops directly under them, this time they were also led by their regiment commander, and they also brought a company of people to Ningcheng for reinforcements.
Platoon Commander Yang and their regiment commander was surnamed Sun. Commander Sun also led his troops to reinforcements after receiving a report from his subordinates on the enemy's situation.
Because Commander Sun is a descendant, the transfer management of soldiers is much stricter, unlike Commander Zhou, who can send troops by saying hello casually, and they have to be approved by multiple departments at the higher level, so their team is three hours later than Commander Zhou.
However, because Commander Sun is a descendant, the equipment is much better than that of Commander Zhou, and their company is not only well-armed, but also equipped with trucks, so they came by truck.
Of course, four wheels are much faster than two legs, so even if they set off more than three hours late, and the journey is dozens of kilometers away, Captain Sun and they still arrived at Haishan nearly an hour faster than Captain Zhou.
When Commander Sun and his entourage arrived at Haishan, his subordinates of the Ningcheng garrison were still in charge of guarding the bandits who had been captured and had nowhere to shelter them for the time being due to their large numbers.
Seeing the Ningcheng garrison who had not rested for a day and a night, their faces were full of exhaustion, and Regiment Commander Sun immediately sent a platoon of soldiers from the reinforcements he brought to replace this squad of subordinates and let them go back to rest.
Among the replaced soldiers, Regiment Commander Sun appointed a squad leader of the garrison to report to him on the situation of the battle.
From the mouth of the squad leader, after learning about the brief history of the whole battle, I knew that in addition to the two armies related to the combatants of this war, Platoon Commander Yang and Squad Leader Liu rushed to Haishan for reinforcements, there were also several princes who rushed to Haishan. The princes of these roads actually represent several fronts with real power in the province.
A deputy governor in charge of justice, representing the administration, came down with the head of justice and a cadre of clerks.
Although this year is very chaotic, but such a big banditry, after all, is rare in the whole province, not to mention, the place where the bandit broke out, or a place that has a lot of influence in the country?
A minister representing the party department also came down.
This minister's surname is Chen, and he is the mentor of the county magistrate Xie. The position of county magistrate Xie was won by him despite public opinion, so after the county magistrate Xie knew that the situation in defending the city was unfavorable, he immediately asked his mentor for help, hoping that the mentor could coordinate the army to come for reinforcements.
After coordinating with the military department and sending Commander Sun and their strong troops to help, Minister Chen was still not at ease and came to see what was going on in person.
Although, the deputy governor and his entourage, representing the administration, immediately organized people to set off after receiving the report of the bandits; Minister Chen, who represented the party department, had already made arrangements as soon as possible after receiving the students' requests for help, but they were still a step late, and they were still in a department, arriving in Ningcheng faster than them.
The first to rush to Ningcheng were the people of the "Fuxing Society".
The "Fuxing Society" came down with a man and a woman, and they had already arrived in Ningcheng not long after He Xiaojun and his entourage set off for neighboring counties.
After the two people of the "Fuxing Society" came to Ningcheng, they immediately found County Magistrate Xie and asked him about the situation.
County Magistrate Xie, who was mixed up in the political arena of the provincial capital, of course knew about the mysterious and privileged organization of the "Fuxing Society", and he was also afraid of this organization like other officials, so he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly put down the work at hand, received these two people with special status as soon as possible, and reported to them in detail the battle situation in Ningcheng.
As soon as they finished reporting to the two people of the "Fuxing Society", the vice governor and Minister Chen rushed to Ningcheng with their heels and feet. When they arrived, it was already past four o'clock in the morning.
In fact, the distance from the provincial capital to Haishan is not too far, only more than 100 kilometers away, in He Xiaojun's previous life, if you run at high speed, you can reach it in less than two hours by car. Why did the vice governor and Minister Chen, who also came by car, rush for ten hours?
The reasons for this are, firstly, the road conditions at that time were extremely poor, and there were two crossings on the way, so a lot of work was delayed; Second, although it was the same car, the speed of the car at that time was only one-third of the car in He Xiaojun's previous life.
When the leader arrives, of course, it is a report.
When County Magistrate Xie repeatedly reported the entire battle situation to Vice Governor and Minister Chen, the two people from the "Fuxing Society," after listening to County Magistrate Xie's report, ignored the fatigue of the boats and cars, and proposed to inspect the battlefield and visit the garrison and police guarding the city.
Of course, County Magistrate Xie will unconditionally implement the requirements put forward by the leaders. So, in the early hours of this almost dawn, a group of people appeared on the streets of Ningcheng.
The county magistrate Xie and Director Hu, as the guides and commentators who led the way for the inspection, led the officials from the province to start from the nearest passage into the city in the north of Ningcheng, and passed through the checkpoint of the main road out of the city in the northwest and came to the main battlefield in the west of the city.
Along the way, County Magistrate Xie and Director Hu recounted the entire battle to everyone while walking.
When they arrived at the main battlefield in the west of the city, County Magistrate Xie and Director Hu, who had been there, of course, described it in more detail.
At this time, the bandits who were concentrated in the open space at Qiaotou in the western suburbs of the city were unable to be resettled for a while because of the large number of people, and they were still temporarily detained in the same place.
After seeing this black and oppressive bandit captive, and then from the story of County Magistrate Xie, after knowing the situation at that time, the vice governor and Minister Chen, who were not from the army, had already figured out the dangerous situation in Ningcheng at that time.
The two people who came down from the "Fuxing Society," which was established by selecting personnel from the army, exchanged a look of surprise and excitement with each other.
The surprise in the eyes of these two people was, of course, the surprise at the outcome of this battle. As the department in charge of intelligence, they were very clear about the situation of the garrisons in Ningcheng and the city, so it was already a miracle that they could hold the county seat with the strength of one platoon, and it was an even greater miracle to wipe out three times the number of bandits with less than a company.
And what about the excitement in the eyes of the two? They also arrived with a purpose, and at this point, they had already discovered the target.
Just when these people, after seeing the situation of the captives, were about to go to the military camp in the south of the city to comfort the garrison, they hurriedly came down from the province.
The vice governor, Minister Chen, and the two members of the "Fuxing Society" knew that the person who arrived in a hurry was the provincial head of the United Front Work Department.
People who know the United Front Work Minister are strange, although it is said that the overseas Chinese stall is under the control of the United Front Work Department, but there is no major incident about overseas Chinese in Ningcheng, why did even the United Front Work Minister rush down overnight?
