Chapter 181: Encounter

???? The third brother was armed with a British carbine, led the sharp knife group, and walked in front of the entire team, about 500 meters away from the team.

Commander Xie assigned two Ying 77, 3 flower traps, and fifteen grenades to the sharp knife.

The third brother is very satisfied.

Because, these two or three things are good things to save energy. Flower traps and British grenades have been tested, proper weapons of mass killing.

As for the British carbine, when he was in Shigu Village, Commander Xie let Lu Qing try it.

As a result, everyone found that although this British carbine was small, its accuracy and range were no worse than those of Shui Lianzhu.

On the contrary, it pulls the bolt faster, and the whole gun is lighter, and it is also easy to use on horseback. Therefore, many people call it the British carbine.

Although Commander Xie repeatedly emphasized that this kind of gun's real name is Li, and what kind of gun is called Li En, it can also be called Ying Qiqi, but the third brother and others still prefer to call it the British horse pistol.

According to Commander Xie's suggestion, the sharp knife group was divided into two marching waves, two flower traps and a British carbine, forming an inverted zigzag and walking in front.

Another British carbine and flower trap, walking behind.

Originally, according to the previous practice of the horse exploration team, the weapons were to be put away and dressed up as local people.

But Commander Xie didn't explain this, which is probably an oversight, after all, how young is ...... But the third brother thinks it's very good, he likes this feeling of a regular army very much.

Not far behind, there is a large group of people, today's Jiaoyun Village, but it is well-assembled, and there is a commander who is whimsical but commands decently...... The third brother felt that he had been pressed and beaten by the Jingwei Regiment for almost two years, and he was so embarrassed that he was too embarrassed...... Today, the gentlemen will swagger......

So, until after dawn, he maintained this marching pattern.

In the blacksmith village, the wind is calm.

In this way, the sharp knife group entered the blacksmith village.

Trouble soon followed.

The third brother was worried about the delicious steamed buns in the blacksmith shop, and when he saw that the blacksmith was calm, he sent a person back to report the news. He carried a sharp knife group, but he turned the corner of the street and took a photo with the third company of the second battalion of the Jingwei Regiment that had just arrived.

Yesterday afternoon, after Luo Shaoyu reported the situation, Commissioner Yuan was filled with indignation and insisted on personally leading his men into battle, but Luo Shaoyu had no choice but to agree to take action and asked him to go forward with the Jingwei Regiment.

However, from the direction of Lengshuikeng-Shigu, there are two roads that lead to the mountains south of Tanghuwei.

While a few people were looking at the map and discussing which way to attack, another family member fled from the cold water hole and provided the latest movement of the mountain bandits.

Only then did Luo Shaoyu know that the bandits were moving very quickly.

After breakfast, they had already escorted the looted supplies back to the mountain. It's just that because the hostages and horses are walking slowly, the whole team will be slow along the way, and it is estimated that they can barely reach Shigu Village ten miles south of Windmill Pass tonight.

Shigu Village is the fork of the two roads.

In this way, things are back to the original dilemma:

The bandits are likely to camp in Shigu Village tonight, and there is still no clue which path they will choose when they get up tomorrow morning.

At this time, the commissioner proposed a division of troops.

The soldiers are divided into two ways, divided into two attacks, and there is no mistake.

Luo Shaoyu also remembered the information from the inside line at this time, and knew that in this attack on the cold water hole, Jieyun Village even pulled out the women and children, and even so, there were only about a hundred people.

Therefore, as soon as the commissioner proposed to divide the troops, although he was a little hesitant, he quickly agreed.

In view of the critical situation, Luo Shaoyu immediately made a decision and assigned the second battalion to the commissioner's command, and at the same time let his sister accompany him.

But the commissioner looked down on Luo Shaojin, saying that she was a teaching gentleman, what did she know? Or don't get in the way.

Luo Shaoyu had no choice but to send Tan Chu to him as his guide and assistant on the grounds that the commissioner was unfamiliar with him.

After discussion, it was decided that the commissioner led the second battalion to take the flat road to the iron shop to intercept the bandits returning to the mountain; Luo Shaoyu's brother and sister led their troops to walk the mountain trail and rushed to Shigu Village overnight.

This made Tan Chu and Yuan Yang very happy, and they were also busy.

The two of them also immediately led the team to set out, but not far from Tanghuwei, they gathered in a valley to give lectures.

The two Huangpu brothers took turns to play, and it was a righteous and awe-inspiring speech, what kind of country and nation, etc., which made a group of local buns stunned.

I don't understand it, it's okay.

The two immediately patted their chests and offered the regimental soldiers a reward for this sortie: kill a bandit, reward the ocean with ten yuan, capture one alive, and reward twenty yuan. Those who kill two or more bandits are promoted on the spot.

When the people of the second battalion heard this, they all cheered.

The senior brother led the team and continued to move forward. After walking less than ten miles, I entered a village and stayed overnight.

At the entrance of the village, the two Huangpu brothers immediately issued a strict order not to disturb the people's livelihood, and those who violated the order were to be shot on the spot.

Seeing Yuan Yang's repeated help, Tan Chu was naturally grateful.

He paid for it himself, bought a big fat pig, let people slaughter it, and invited the officers and soldiers of the second battalion to feast on it.

When the cauldron was full of aroma, Commissioner Yuan stood up and praised Lieutenant Colonel Tan's behavior.

Because this Lieutenant Colonel Tan is very good at fighting in normal times, and he has a prestige in the Jingwei Regiment, he also received praise at this time.

Seeing this, Tan Chu lost no time in announcing the opening of the meal.

The soldiers of the second battalion raised their hands one after another, shouting Lieutenant Colonel Tan's wisdom.

Due to the heat of summer, everyone agreed to start in the middle of the night after dinner. Then, he borrowed an ancestral hall on the spot and camped.

When he was about to set off in the middle of the night, Tan Chu found that there were only three companies, although they were also procrastinating, but they finally gathered on time.

The company commanders of the other two companies, because they were from the Luo family, saw Tan Chu's senior brother yesterday and felt that it was not good, so he deliberately delayed and prepared to compete with Tan Chu secretly.

Therefore, when it was time to open the pull, it was only after a row that he slowly and leisurely got up, washed slowly, gathered slowly and leisurely, and muttered and noisy while gathering, saying that the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers, and he was pulling? Let's have breakfast first!

Tan Chu was worried that the mountain bandits would also leave the camp in the early morning and hurry away while the night was cold. Therefore, he pulled out his matching gun, rewarded the commander of the third company, and asked him to lead the third company to set off first.

Commissioner Yuan also promised a reward in person: He said that as long as the third company intercepted the mountain bandits this time, the company commander would be rewarded with 100 oceans, the platoon commander was 50, the squad leader was 20, and the regiment members were each 5 yuan...... In addition, the joint defense brigade will be formed soon, and when the time comes, the third company will be directly upgraded to the main battalion.

The commander of the third company stuttered a little, but this time he was very happy, and his legs immediately snapped together, giving the two commanders a not-so-standard military salute. This military salute was learned from the commissioner's guard squad, and it was fried and sold.

So, he took a hundred or so people under his command, ran with his life, fifty miles, and it took less than five hours to arrive.

He felt that no one would be earlier than himself.

Even if the people and horses of Jiaoyunzhai rushed overnight, they were limited to the drag of the carriages and horses, and it was even more impossible to arrive earlier than themselves.

Seeing that a group of brothers were powerful, the third company grew up to be pleased, and in order to buy time, he decided to take the buns directly for breakfast.

After preparing the meal, he immediately occupied the favorable terrain and features to meet the bandits who didn't know when they would come.

More than 100 people were busy surrounding the two face-to-face bun shops on the street.

"One, a long platoon, etc... When you're eating, you bring a row...... Occupy and occupy the ancestral hall, guard and guard the big ...... Big, big, well, listen...... Did you hear it, don't patronize and eat, be careful of choking and choking you? ”

The commander of the third company called the three platoon commanders together, carried a large basket of steaming buns, and squeaked and assigned tasks under the eaves of a medicine store that had not yet opened.

"Well, hmm......" A long platoon of people with his left hand on Hanyangzao had just stuffed a bun into his mouth. Usually, he also likes to take two puffs, so some of his face is yellow and thin, and his body is not very good. Braving the fog and water in the early hours of the morning made him a little cold. At this time, after listening to the company commander's order, he could only nod his head again and again, indicating that he received the order. After nodding, his upper and lower palates knocked each other, and he bit down hard, and the white bread suddenly burst, and the aroma was overflowing.

At this moment, a line of shiny silk thread hung down from his nasal cavity, getting longer and longer, and he soon noticed that his nose twitched vigorously, and the bright silk thread rose to the ground and retracted into his nasal cavity. But after all, a small tail lingered, hanging down the front of the nose and lips. He quietly raised his arm, rubbed it vigorously with his sleeve, and chewed it contentedly.

The aroma of leeks and pork fat in the bun immediately spread to the whole mouth.

With a sweep of his eyes, a large basket of steaming white bread was missing three strands and one in a blink of an eye, he increased his chewing intensity, chewed it three times and twice, and his long claws rose and fell, grabbed two buns in his hand, and filled it into his mouth. As soon as he chewed it twice, he suddenly looked stunned.

Out of the corner of his eye, a few figures suddenly turned out of the crossroads, and he fixed his eyes to see that the person who came was capable and fierce, and the gun in his hand had been raised, and he was hedged straight over.

At the same time, a group of figures flashed around the corner, and it seemed that there were as few as twenty or thirty people.

His eyes widened in horror, and he squeaked and stumbled to raise the white bread in his hand and pointed forward: "Dirt, soil......"

"Why, what, choking?"

Seeing this, the second platoon commander on the opposite side raised his eyebrows, schadenfreude, "If you want to vomit, you can vomit, you will vomit!" Silly, stupid, you? I don't know, I really don't know...... How to be the main platoon...... Platoon, platoon leader. ”

In their company, because the company commander stuttered a little, the people under them became more or less stuttering in order to cater to them. But after studying for a long time, the second platoon commander felt that he had already made some fakes come true.

This does not bode well.

As soon as the second row of long voices fell, a sharp chirp swept from behind, and before he could react, he received two shots on his back, hitting his entire chest forward vigorously, and the crumbs in his mouth were mixed with saliva and spitting Xingzi, and with a poof, it squirted out--ah~

The platoon commander on the opposite side and the company commander diagonally opposite bore the brunt of the attack and made a full face.

Like a storm, the sudden sound of gunfire was so dense that people were breathless.

Bullets chirped, screaming like a stone knife and swept through the air, cutting through the skin and burrowing into the human body...... The eaves of the doors and windows of the store crackled and crackled, and the clay pots and water urns were tinkling...... In front of the two steamed bun shops that were fighting for business opposite the gongs, they suddenly became chickens and dogs, and blood and mist splashed.
