Chapter 378: Bandits
Xu Rui had already crossed the Xiasha Bridge, but when he turned around, he found that Wang Husheng hurriedly chased after him.
"Woo ......" Xu Rui hurriedly reined in the war horse under his crotch and waited for Wang Husheng to catch up.
After a while, Wang Husheng caught up and said with a wheez: "Lao Xu, come out, understand what happened." ”
Xu Rui's heart jumped, but on the surface, he didn't change his color, and asked, "Lao Wang, what's wrong?" ”
"Pucheng!" Wang Husheng gasped and said, "The Southern Anhui Independent Regiment of the National Army in Pucheng has caused internal strife, and the regiment commander Wang Yi and the chief of staff Yang Ba Yan have long had a grudge, and this time it is finally a fight. ”
"It turned out to be the Southern Anhui Independent Regiment." Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let them go." ”
"Lao Xu." Wang Husheng knew that Xu Rui was joking, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said, "I know that you have a holiday with Yang Bayan, and you don't deal with it, but this is a big right and wrong, I know much better than you what kind of person Wang Yi, the head of the Southern Anhui Independent Regiment, is, this is a brute, if he is allowed to destroy Yang Bayan, the Southern Anhui Independent Regiment will probably become the henchman of our Dameishan Independent Regiment." ”
"Confidants? Just by virtue of the Southern Anhui Independent Regiment? Xu Rui said disdainfully, "Lao Wang, you really look up to him, it's not me bragging, just with Wang Yi's bullshit independent regiment, the combat effectiveness is not as good as the security team in Meizhen before, Lao Tzu even wiped out the Kawaguchi detachment, are you still afraid of him?" It only takes one infantry company to destroy him! ”
Wang Husheng thought about it, if you talk about combat effectiveness, the Southern Anhui Independent Regiment is really not the same as the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and then the conversation changed and said: "Yes, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Anhui Independent Regiment is indeed not worth mentioning, but the position of Pucheng is not trivial, in case this Wang Yi surrenders to Little Japan and becomes a puppet army traitor, it will be a trouble after all, right?" ”
"That's just as well." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Then let's do it, let Gangzi's cavalry battalion run away, destroy this Wang Yi, and by the way, let Yang Ba Nanan owe Lao Tzu a favor." ”
"That's what I thought too." Wang Husheng said happily, "I'll go and inform the Iron Battalion Commander." ”
After speaking, Wang Husheng turned around and hurried back, Xu Rui also turned around, waved to Leng Tiefeng and several members of the wolf tooth team, and a group of ten people rode their horses on the road again.
Just this morning, the Independent Regiment reached a joint combat agreement with the four detachments.
As the advance force, Xu Rui personally led the wolf tooth squad to infiltrate Feicheng, to explore the deployment of the Japanese army in Feicheng and strategic points such as the arsenal, to prepare for the development of the follow-up plan, and at the same time to connect with Nan Batian, and then let Nan Batian come forward to contact Anda Gongtai, and then under the pretext of the expansion of the first brigade of the puppet army, the three main infantry battalions of the independent regiment and the machine gun should be connected into Feicheng in batches, and then, the four detachments will be pulled from the Tongcheng area overnight.
Of course, these are only the three main steps in the entire combat operation.
In addition to these three main steps, there is also a detailed action plan, according to the previous war games, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has tried its best to take into account the problems that will be encountered, the risks that will be faced and the accidents that may arise, and also made a detailed emergency plan, it can be said that this is the most careful combat operation since the establishment of the independent regiment, and the local links are even thorough to the point where each member of the wolf tooth squad should appear when and where.
Leng Tiefeng rode his horse and took a few steps to catch up with Xu Rui, and said: "Old Xu, in fact, you don't need to go now, just to conduct a battlefield reconnaissance, do you think that I can't even do this little thing?" ”
"I'm afraid not." Xu Rui said, "Because Gao Hanting wants to meet me in Feicheng by name." ”
"What did you say?" Leng Tiefeng was surprised, "Gao Hanting wants to see you in Feicheng by name?" ”
Xu Rui nodded with a smile, and said: "I'm afraid Commander Gao wants to see if I have the courage, and then decide whether to devote all my troops to fight Feicheng with us, just right, I also want to meet this legendary Gao Han Pavilion who can't be killed, this is a figure who makes Wei Lihuang disgraced." ”

"Heqin, heqin! Oh chin! ”
Gao Hanting sneezed three times in a row, then touched his nose and scolded: "Damn, which of the eight lambs is scolding me behind my back?" I had to pinch his balls when I caught him. ”
Xiao Huadong took the opportunity to step forward and persuade: "Commander, I think you still have to be cautious, you are the commander of the four detachments, and you have the safety of nine thousand officers and soldiers tied to your shoulders, how can you take the danger lightly?" ”
"Dangerous ground? What's in danger? Can Feicheng be considered a dangerous place? Gao Hanting said hesitantly, "Back then, Lao Tzu even dared to break into Wei Lihuang's headquarters, let alone Feicheng? Lao Xiao, don't worry, the person who can kill my Gao Hanting hasn't been born in the womb yet, Lao Tzu's life is hard, and he can't die. ”
Gao Hanting said this with confidence, he has survived the three years of hardship, and his current life is like a god compared to that time, besides, he is indeed eager to meet Xu Rui, the reason why he chose to meet in Feicheng is to test Xu Rui's courage and see if he dares to take risks alone.
In the final analysis, seeing is believing, hearing is false, before seeing Xu Rui, Gao Hanting expressed doubts about Xu Rui's previous affairs, only after seeing Xu Rui and having contact, Gao Hanting will make a judgment based on his own experience, determine whether Xu Rui is trustworthy, and decide whether to invest all the troops of the four detachments to participate in the operation.
Now, the four detachments and the separate regiment are only a temporary agreement.
Xiao Huadong couldn't persuade Gao Hanting, so he could only retreat: "Commander, then you bring more people." ”
"Lao Xiao, you're confused again, aren't you." Gao Hanting said, "Feicheng is the territory of devils, and it is easy to be exposed if there are too many people, so I will take Biaozi with me." ”
Shi Biao is Gao Hanting's guard, in his early years in Shaolin Temple as a water and fire monk, quite good at some fist and foot kung fu, in the most difficult three years, Gao Hanting was in danger several times, all relying on Shi Biao's desperate protection, only to finally get out of danger safely, so Gao Hanting trusted Shi Biao very much.
"By the way, where are the people of the Independent Regiment?" Gao Hanting asked again.
"Men from the Independence Regiment?" Xiao Huadong was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately reacted that Gao Hanting was asking about the American reporter, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment who protected the American reporter, and immediately replied, "Judging from the time, they should have arrived at Ketan by now, and they will be able to reach Lujiang County in about two hours." ”
"Got to Kirtan?" Gao Hanting said happily, "Let the guard company hurry up and get ready." ”
Xiao Huadong said: "Commander, do you really plan to let the guard company compete with others?" ”
"Of course you have to compare, why not." Gao Hanting said, "I just want to see how good the people of the independent regiment are, and a mere regiment can actually eat a detachment of devils." ”
Xiao Huadong said: "But the family is just an ordinary infantry platoon, but our guard company is the elite selected from the more than 9,000 people in the whole detachment, so it's a bit unfair, right?" ”
"How do you know it's an ordinary infantry platoon?" Gao Hanting said disapprovingly, "Xu Rui will send an ordinary infantry platoon to protect American journalists?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Huadong was right when he thought about it, Xu Rui really wouldn't send an ordinary infantry platoon to protect American reporters, so most of this platoon is also the elite of the independent regiment, which can indeed be compared with the guard company to see if the elite of the independent regiment is powerful, or the elite of the four detachments is more capable of fighting.
At that moment, Xiao Huadong went down to make arrangements.

He Shuya, they are in a little trouble at the moment.
He Shuya received the Associated Press reporter David in Yixiu Town, near Anqing, at this time, Anqing and from Anqing to the north to Huaining were still under the control of the National Army, so there was no danger along the way, because David had the passage documents issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs in his hand, so the pass along the way was unblocked.
After Huaining is Tongcheng, this is the territory of the four detachments of the New Fourth Army, the four detachments are the friendly troops of the independent regiment, and the security is more guaranteed, so after passing Tongcheng, He Shuya will inevitably relax, and as a result, he is about to arrive at Lujiang, and he is about to enter the headquarters of the four detachments, but he is in trouble.
As they passed through a mountain pass, a group of bandits suddenly burst out of the rocky beach on both sides and surrounded them.
Originally, as long as He Shuya was a little more vigilant and sent a few soldiers to fight the front station, he would definitely discover the existence of this gang of bandits in advance, so that whether it was a detour or a counter-ambush to clean up this gang of bandits, it would be a piece of cake, but now because of a moment of negligence, the entire platoon is in danger.
There were more than 100 bandits, and although they had a variety of weapons, they were menacing.
"Put the gun down, put it down, or I'll kill you!" A bandit leader with a meaty face waved the twenty-shot box cannon in his hand and shouted, "Put the gun down." ”
He Shuya and the soldiers of the escort platoon were calm, but the American reporter David, and the Chinese translator Liang Yixiao, whom he hired for a monthly salary of 20 US dollars, were frightened.
Liang Yixiao's scream immediately attracted the bandit's attention.
There was a little leader with a pointed monkey cheek, and he immediately said with a lewd smile on his face: "Big boss, I didn't expect there to be such a handsome little girl here, let's snatch it back and give it to the eldest brother as a wife of the village, hehe." ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to be robbed back by the bandits to be the wife of the village, Liang Yixiao suddenly became more and more afraid, and even his teeth began to tremble.
He Shuya held Liang Yixiao's jade arm, and he could feel her fear from the heart, and he persuaded softly in his heart at the moment: "Don't be afraid, we are here." ”
Liang Yixiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and instinctively grabbed He Shuya's left arm, like a drowning child grabbing a straw on the water, Liang Yixiao grabbed so hard that her nails were deeply pinched into He Shuya's arm, He Shuyi frowned, but he didn't show it after all.
