The meeting was unexpected, and as soon as the summary meeting of the sharpshooter team ended, Yue Siliang received a report that the third brigade of the Jin Sui Army had arrived in Jingcheng.

Such a force of more than 6,000 people suddenly appeared in the territory of Jingcheng, and the most nervous people must be the little devils. After experiencing the first battle with the 344th Brigade, the arrogant little devils have obviously realized that the Eighth Route Army is not as weak as they imagined. And just as they were thinking about how to deal with the Eighth Route Army, an elite unit of the Jin Sui Army appeared in front of them.

Despite such an unpleasant episode of the submachine gun being dropped before, in general, Yue Siliang still had a positive attitude towards the arrival of this mixed third brigade. Because of this, after the second battalion completed the task well, he arranged a meeting with the commander of the other side.

In his own words, it was time to meet this half-new friend.

Half-new is not old, this description is still very appropriate. The 424th Regiment and the Mixed Third Brigade have no direct past, but it can be said that there is a trace of incense. When the 344th Brigade crossed the Yellow River and entered the territory of Lingqiu, it was the 128th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army that made way for the way, which was also the road that was made way by the predecessor of the mixed three brigades. Moreover, Lingqiu County, which later made the 424th Regiment stand for Wan, was also the garrison of the 128th Regiment before.

……

Outside Nanzhang City, Du Xingbang walked on the main road with his guards.

Although it has experienced war, no party will let such a town in such a critical area go to waste. In less than a week, the people who had been evacuated to escape the fighting had returned one after another.

Most of the houses have been destroyed, and it is almost impossible to rebuild them in a short period of time. But it's not difficult to build some shacks or something, with the help of the 424 regiment, it is better to let the people have resettled, at least this winter will be passed, and the reconstruction of the town will have to wait until the spring is warmer.

"I really didn't expect that Yue Siliang would choose such a place to meet. Brigade, what do you say he is in mind to be an ann and demonstrate with us? ”

Immediately, Li Huaizhen's body swayed regularly as the horse advanced, and at the same time asked his own questions.

"Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward. He Yue Siliang chose such a place because he wanted us to appreciate his murderous sword, which is interesting. ”

Although it is said to be a period of cooperation, the relationship between the two sides has always been ambiguous. Today, when he saw that Yue Siliang had chosen such a former battlefield as the meeting place, Du Xingbang naturally had to think a little more in his heart. But to tell the truth, Yue Siliang really didn't think about it so much, and chose Nanzhang purely because of this convenient geographical location. Because after the mixed third brigade entered the territory of Jingcheng, the team did not bring it to the south side of the road, but directly set up camp in the north of the road.

As for Yue Siliang himself, he arrived in Nanzhang Town one step earlier, and the meeting place was chosen in a house on the edge of the town. In the bloody battle of Nanzhang, the damage to this house was not great, and after some repairs, it still looked like a little bit, so Yue Siliang used him to meet guests.

In all fairness, Yue Siliang is looking forward to a good outcome of this meeting. can feel that Yan Laoxi is not ordinary to this brigade. Du Xingbang's team, in fact, there is no problem even if it is given the number of a reinforced regiment, but Yan Laoxi still gave a brigade-level structure. Obviously, this Du Xingbang is a "prince," and if he has a good relationship with this "prince," it will undoubtedly be beneficial to the cooperation between the two armies.

"Regiment Commander, Brigade Commander Du of the Jin Sui Army has arrived."

Yue Siliang, who was sitting on the chair in a trance, got up directly without hesitation after hearing the report. Although the other party is not a regular full-fledged brigade, the commander is also a real major general and brigade commander, and the courtesy that should be there is still to be there.

Walking out of the house, I saw that under the leadership of the guards, an officer of the Jin Sui Army walked over with his head held high. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Yue Siliang secretly shouted in his heart.

This officer can be called a strange appearance, he is eight feet tall, his waist is ten girths, his shoulders are three stops, his face is straight, a pair of thick eyebrows are obliquely inserted into the sideburns, a pair of bright eyes are bright, and two green bearded swallows are lined up in two ways like two fast knives. The pale blue military uniform is ironed and angular, the armed belt is tight and not loose, and the riding boots under the feet are comfortable and straight, black and shiny.

Just this first appearance gave Yue Siliang a deep impression.

"It's a good-looking person, I just hope it's not an empty straw bale."

Thinking of this in his heart, Yue Siliang took a few steps forward, stood opposite Du Xingbang, and shook hands after giving a military salute to each other.

"Brigade Commander Du has worked hard all the way, and he is in Yue Siliang of the 424th Regiment."

The attitude of the other side is also very good, and he said after laughing a few times.

"Head Yue is polite, contemptible Du Xingbang, I can't hide it, I have been a friend of God for a long time for Head Yue."

Du Xingbang's enthusiasm made Yue Siliang a little confused, and he didn't know why the other party was so polite to him. But at this time, he obviously couldn't think about it, and the two walked into the house hand in hand.

The two of them sat down in front of the old elm table, and someone brought the tea early. Yue Siliang picked up the enamel cup first, took a sip, and then said with a smile.

"It's not as good as your place, the conditions of our Eighth Route Army are poor, and I ask Brigade Commander Du for forgiveness."

"You're polite, the people in the army eat and sleep in the open, where do you pay so much attention."

Du Xingbang immediately picked up the cup and took a sip to express his sincerity.

Yue Siliang obviously didn't want to waste too much time on meaningless exchanges, so he put down the water glass after a few polite words.

"Brigade Commander Du, now that we are fighting the Japanese all over the country, compared to your department's entry into Jingcheng to fight against the Japanese invaders, I won't say much more, I just want to ask Brigade Commander Du how he plans? If it is a war against Japan, although our 424th Regiment is not good, it is willing to make a modest contribution. ”

Seeing that Yue Siliang began to get to the point, Du Xingbang was not ambiguous, although he spoke with a smile on his face, he was thorny.

"Commander Yue speaks decently and well-founded, which is rare in your Eighth Route Army."

Yue Siliang frowned lightly and did not respond to his words. That's where it goes.

"I'm a bloody man, and it's definitely not ambiguous to beat a little devil, since I'm here in Jingcheng, it's natural to fight. It's not that Du is welcome, the three brigades are not here to grab territory, I will beat mine, you will fight yours. In the future, we will not violate the river water with well water. ”

As soon as Du Xingbang said this, Yue Siliang's heart became a little uncomfortable. Although there is no intersection, but the 128th regiment passed in front of his eyes, he naturally understood the other party, this Du Xingbang is a person who dares to fight, but this speech is a little too arrogant.

The other party said beautifully, what "it's not for grabbing territory", but it is clear that he looks down on the Eighth Route Army and doesn't want to cooperate together at all.

"Brigade Commander Du, now is the period of cooperation, we naturally have to work together, fighting devils is not the business of your Jin Suijun family, is it a little inappropriate for Your Excellency to say this?"

After Yue Siliang's words came out, Du Xingbang laughed.

"Head Yue, I see that you have read a book. You must know that when you think about the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, the princes of the Eighteenth Route jointly fought against Dong, but in the end they were only blocked out of Hangu Pass and ended up with an invincible victory. In my opinion, we can each show our abilities in fighting devils, and in the end, we will blame each other and hesitate. ”

"Sizzle......"

Du Xingbang's words made Yue Siliang take a breath, and said in his heart that Du Xingbang's tone was really not small, and he was not willing to trust him as an ally.

"Brigade Commander Du, since we talked about the Three Kingdoms, then I will also say a few words. As the saying goes: one person counts short, two counts long. Rao is Zhuge Wuhou also needed a general to help when he borrowed arrows from the grass boat, not to mention that tonight is different from the past, the Japanese are rampant, and the slightest carelessness will be the disaster of destroying the country and exterminating the species, Brigade Commander Du also please think twice. ”

Yue Siliang's words were more subtle, but Du Xingbang understood them.

"Commander Yue, it's not that I can't trust your Eighth Route Army. I'm a soldier, and I don't bother to pay attention to anything else when I go out on the battlefield. Ming people don't say dark words, I admire the combat effectiveness shown by your Eighth Route Army very much. At the beginning, after the Battle of Taiyuan, the army was defeated in Liulin, and I have concentrated on studying the performance of your Commander Yue's troops on the battlefield......"

When he said this, Du Xingbang deliberately accentuated his tone.

"The tactics of your 424th Regiment really refreshed me. To tell the truth, you are very happy to defeat the Japanese invaders in this battle in Nanzhang, but your 424th Regiment is probably limited to this, and with the logistics ability of your Eighth Route Army, it will not be able to withstand several large-scale battles. We have more than 6,000 people in three brigades, complete with all kinds of light and heavy weapons, and perfect logistics.

If we fight with the devils, it will definitely not be a small fight, and that kind of intensity is not at all what your Eighth Route Army can bear. ”

As Du Xingbang spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile arrogantly. At the beginning, the 424th Regiment did have a big impact on him after a big victory in Lingqiu, but after a series of studies, he came to a conclusion that the Eighth Route Army could only fight skillfully, and it was not a big battle with the devil at all. Although when the group army was fighting, because of poor command, their Jin Sui army lost very badly. But now with a mixed brigade in his hands, he has great confidence that he can start the battle.

Du Xingbang said that Yue Siliang couldn't answer it at all, and the other party's words were actually very objective. He knew that what the other party said was wrong, but he couldn't think of how to make a strong rebuttal for a while.

Seeing Yue Siliang's words for a while, Du Xingbang was unreasonable.

"As I said just now, Du's mixed third brigade is not here to grab territory. Lunan was shot down by your 424th Regiment, and I didn't touch an inch of the ground in Lunan. I don't care what you do in Lunan, my troop garrison has been chosen, and it is at the Qingfeng outlet of Jianzhuang. ”
