Xiao Dongxue stood awe-inspiring on the higher part of Shagangzi, the breeze blowing her black cloak on the outside and red on the inside, looking around, the surrounding scenery was in full view. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reckless desert steppe is divided into scattered green spaces by sand dunes and sand pits, stretching tenaciously to the end of the sky. The windward side of the sand gang at your feet has been sanded, waiting for the ravages of the stormy day, while the leeward side is still lush with grass and life.

Xiao Dongxue has made up her mind, she wants to annihilate these three bandits in one fell swoop. The careful plan was already in place, and at this moment she was waiting for Fang Zhenzhong's arrival to finalize the joint action plan. Xiao Dongxue knew that her plan of action Xiaoqiu and the Japanese instructor corps would not agree, they just wanted to lure the 'Manxi Volunteers' to show up and exterminate them by surrounding but not fighting the bandit of the fox prince. She also knew that such an action would definitely cause Xiaoqiu's dissatisfaction, so she planned to quickly settle the battle before Xiaoqiu gave a formal order, so that Xiaoqiu would not be able to speak.

A small group of flying horses appeared in Xiao Dongxue's telescope's field of vision, and she concluded that it was Fang Zhenzhong. "This guy is really punctual." Xiao Dongxue said as she walked down the sand gang to greet her.

"How's it going, didn't you lose time?" Fang Zhenzhong jumped off the horse and ran up to shake hands with Xiao Dongxue: "It's just that the horse team carrying the small cannon is too slow, otherwise it would have arrived a long time ago." I have brought 200 men, and they have arrived at the designated position to rest and stand by, so I will hurry to meet you and tell me how to fight! ”

Fang Zhenzhong also became anxious at this time, sat on the dirt bag on the spot, took the water handed over by Xiao Dongxue and drank it in a big gulp. The accompanying brothers also dismounted to rest and drink water, and the liaison officer Ye who had been sent out earlier also came back with Fang Zhenzhong.

"Don't be busy, let the brothers you bring go eat something, and we'll talk about it in detail." The brother who followed Fang Zhenzhong was led to dinner, and Officer Ye was still standing in place preparing to report to Xiao Dongxue, Xiao Dongxue said, "I know that your task must have been completed very well!" But you can't rest now, after a while, you can eat some food, go and contact Commander Fang, and the day after tomorrow, let Commander Fang lead the team to appear dozens of miles north of Shahaizi, if we are ordered to chase, lead us to the direction of the border, if we don't chase, just spend a few days with us there, and then I will contact them. The responsibility is great, and you must be careful on the road! ”

"Don't worry, Commander Xiao, I'll set off immediately! There was a word in the family, saying, 'Let my aunt die and send it to my uncle's house'. ”

"Got it, go ahead. Change a horse after eating. Xiao Dongxue watched Liaison Officer Ye leave before she turned around and sat down and talked to Fang Zhenzhong in detail.

"The commander-in-chief is telling us to go to Soviet Russia no matter what situation we encounter, and even if there is a sacrifice, we must kill it, no matter what happens to him and the 'Sanshengmen'. I have no problem going to Soviet Russia, but if the commander-in-chief doesn't go, I have an idea, how can he leave us? Besides, the brothers can't do without him! Fang Zhenzhong muttered as he poked the grass with his horsewhip.

"This kid is too tough, he has his own ideas. I'm more worried that the Japanese devils will not let him go, and then he will continue to pull up the team to fight with the little devils, and it will be more dangerous when the time comes. For now, we will still follow his plan, try to go to Soviet Russia as soon as possible, and if there is peace and stability over there, I will try to get him to come over with us and kill him when the time comes. Okay, let's talk about what we're doing right now. ”

"Commander Xiao may have already thought about it, you just give the order, and I will resolutely carry it out!"

"My idea is to act tonight and eliminate the three bandits of Dashatuozi! You are in charge of the 'White Scarf', and I am in charge of the two units of the Fox Lord and Sha Haizi, and strive to be wiped out in one battle!" Xiao Dongxue waved a powerful gesture.

"I observe that little Japan may have hooked up with them, and Xiaoqiu's purpose is to command them, not these three bandits. Originally, we wanted to eliminate these three bandits in order to gain the trust of the devils, but now it seems that doing so may also arouse the suspicion of the hill and put obstacles in our next plan. Fang Zhenzhong reminded.

"At the moment, Xiaoqiu has not given a clear order, and he would not have expected us to act so quickly. Now is an opportunity, the order from the hill has not yet arrived, and the three bandits will not expect us to really exterminate them so soon. Eliminate these three bandits, and the plan designed by the Hill to lure Commander Fang to show up and drain our strength will come to naught. In the next step, we will pursue the commander of Fang, and their plan to go to the border will have a chance to advance, and the goal of going to Soviet Russia may be realized as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, just follow Commander Xiao's decision! It's just that you may have to face more pressure in the future, and then I will take the lead, the little devil doesn't trust me anyway, and it is also my responsibility to protect you, and the brothers also hope that you can take them out of the country safely. ”

"I'm fine. At this time, brothers should be cautious and put safety first. This operation was planned by the commander-in-chief for a long time, and if it is carried out smoothly, it may even receive unexpected results. You can also have something to eat later, and lead your men to set off overnight, and arrive at the 'White Scarf' den before dawn tomorrow, and we will attack at dawn at the same time. ”

"Divide your team into two groups, one hundred for the attack and one hundred for the ambush. The attacking team surrounded the den of the 'White Scarf' on three sides, leaving them an escape route only in the direction of the fox prince of Dashatuozi. Don't get too close when attacking to avoid casualties. Rack up the cannon and bomb, don't be stingy with shells, the more intense the shelling, the better, don't give them a chance to breathe, and when the bandits have run out of their lair, they will chase after them, drive the bandits into the ambush circle, and annihilate all the 'white scarf' bandits together with the brothers who fought in ambush. In a moment I will send you two brothers as guides, who have already gone twice to reconnoiter and are familiar with the terrain there, and who provide them with the routes of travel and the places of ambush, so you can decide for yourself. After the battle is won, you will evacuate with your brothers and join your party at your current station. Remember, you can't let the Japanese find out, I'll let Ma Liben inform you if something happens in the future, and you can also contact me through Ma Liben. Leave the two brothers I sent to you, and let them lead the hundred men I sent to clean up the battlefield, and we can't throw away the good things left by the bandits. ”

"After I sent you away, I also set off overnight, and at dawn I went to attack the bandits of the fox prince, and took the same method as you to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Then take people to Shahaizi, and also force them out of their lair with artillery fire, and chase them down, as many as they can destroy, and leave the rest to Commander Fang and them to deal with. Do you think my idea is viable? It's just that you don't have a chance to rest, so you can only run with your brothers continuously! ”

Xiao Dongxue drew a picture on the ground while explaining, and Fang Zhenzhong nodded in agreement while listening.

"I didn't eat anymore, so I went back to arrange it immediately. Commander Xiao, take care, I will definitely complete the task! ”

"Don't be in a hurry, it's never too late to leave after eating. These bandits usually know how to oppress the people, and they have never fought with the regular army, and they have no combat effectiveness, so they will not cause us much trouble. Let's go, I'll go to dinner with you!" ”

After eating and sending off Deputy Commander Fang and the others, Xiao Dongxue began to arrange the plan of action for the evening. She sent 200 people to the southeast of Dashatuozi to ambush Shapotou, preparing to ambush the fleeing fox prince bandits, and issued a death order, which must be annihilated. She led 300 people directly to the fox lord's bandit and attacked the bandits.

"The two brothers who went to the fox prince to reconnoitre, one led the two hundred brothers to Shapotou, laid an ambush in advance, beat me hard, and did not allow any of them to slip through the net. After the battle, I sent a hundred brothers to the 'White Scarf' to clean up the battlefield and bring me all their valuable things, and I have sent the brothers who went to the 'White Scarf' den to reconnoiter to meet you. The remaining hundred brothers went to the fox lord to clean the battlefield, and after cleaning the battlefield, they all returned here to meet. Another brother followed me to the fox king's bandit, and the two brothers who went to Shahaizi to reconnoiter also followed me. Your brothers in logistics service will stay here first, prepare food for tomorrow for the brothers, be optimistic about the camp, and strengthen prevention! If the headquarters sent someone to give the order, they would receive it and tell them that they didn't know where I was taking the team. Now divide up and get ready, and leave on time in half an hour! ”

While the sun was still hanging lazily in the western sky, the two teams set off separately. Xiao Dongxue rode on a horse, stepped on the sandy ground that was not solid, and quickly led the team towards the fox prince's bandits.

The sky was getting darker, and the cold of the desert night was slowly coming. This annoying desert is surprisingly hot during the day and inexplicably cold at night, and although the brothers have all experienced the cold, they are still very uncomfortable with such a desert weather with a large temperature difference between the day. Seeing this, Xiao Dongxue ordered the brothers to dismount and lead the horses to trot forward, which not only took care of the horse team with the cannons, but also warmed the brothers' bodies.

In this way, sometimes dismounted and trot, sometimes rode horses and galloped, and at more than three o'clock in the morning, the team had approached the fox king's bandits.

"Report to Commander Xiao! There is an outpost lookout point of the fox king and bandits less than five miles ahead, and there are five such lookout points along the way, all on this road, because from this direction to the fox king's den is under this road. Now there are still more than thirty miles away from the fox king's bandits, and the walk is less than an hour. ”

"The reconnaissance team sneaked lightly, pulled out the bandit lookout points along the way, and the team followed."

The reconnaissance team was ordered to set off. Xiao Dongxue led the team to follow up after a little rest. This time the march slowed down, and the ranks followed each other tighter.

When the sky was bright, the team had come to the sandbag of the fox king. According to the description of the reconnaissance brothers, Xiao Dongxue gave the team a combat order.

"The first and second battalions surrounded the fox lord's bandits from three sides, leaving only the southeast road leading to the 'White Scarf' bandits for them to escape. Act fast, unreliable too close, within effective range. The bandits will be beaten when they show their heads, and they are not allowed to charge, just suppress the bandits. The mountain artillery team followed me to the small sandbag in the west and gave me a bang at the fox king's bandits! When the cannon sounds, the battle begins, and when the cannon falls, stop the attack, and now split up! ”

The first battalion and the second battalion dispersed and outflanked according to the order, and Xiao Dongxue led the mountain artillery team to board the small sandbag west of the fox king's bandit, and the brothers who stayed behind concentrated their horses behind a sand dune.

The brothers quietly approached, and gradually entered the designated position, the bandits have not yet found out, it is estimated that the bandits are still sleeping, and they would never have dreamed that someone would attack them now, because the deadline given to them by Xiao Dongxue was three days later.

The sky gradually began to brighten, and you could clearly see the whole picture of the fox king's bandits. Xiao Dongxue ordered to aim the muzzle of the cannon at the fox prince's bandits, ready to launch! Before the war, the air of Xiao Killing was pervasive, and the sky above the fox prince was banditry.

"The six cannons were fired one by one, and then fired in unison after adjusting the orientation, and we must be ruthless, striving to drive the bandits out of the bandits with the first round of shelling. Now get ready, and when the brothers are all in their designated positions, they will be able to fire at my command! ”

Adjust the position, and the gunner with the cannonball in his hand stared at the fox prince's banditry. The brothers who entered the position also raised their guns and aimed their guns at the fox lord's bandits, and they were ready to fight. These brothers, who had not participated in the battle for two years, were all grinding their fists, ready to vent the anger that had been held in their chests for two years.

'Bah, Woo' Two crisp gunshots pierced the silent dawn, and it was the bandits who were on guard by the fox prince who first discovered the brother who had not yet fully entered the position, and fired the alarm.

"Someone, come and talk!" It is in Mongolian.

'Fire!' With Xiao Dongxue's order, the six steel cannons first tentatively sent out a cannonball, and then quickly adjusted the direction, the six cannons fired in unison, and the dense cannonballs smashed mercilessly into the courtyard of the fox prince with anger, and the fox prince's bandits were suddenly filled with gunsmoke, and the fire light and smoke and dust went straight to the clouds.

The Fox King Gang's gang was completely blinded, and there was no response for a long time. Under the continuous bombardment of intensive artillery fire, the fox prince's bandits were unrecognizable in an instant, and these fortresses piled up with sand and soil could not withstand the fierce attack of artillery fire at all. After a long time, the bandits climbed up the wall with their guns and tried to resist, but before they could shoot back, they were suppressed by a burst of fierce fire from the brothers who were lying in ambush outside.

A white flag was raised with a wooden pole and held high above the wall. Xiao Dongxue ordered to stop the shelling.

"Master Jun, stop fighting! The prince promised to give money! ”

"Tell them to abandon the nest and flee immediately!" Xiao Dongxue ordered his subordinates to shout.

"The prince said that the imperial army agreed that we should cooperate with your actions here. You can send someone to discuss the specific plan, the prince welcomes you, and puts a banquet for the military master! ”

"Let them flee in ten minutes, or they will be killed!" Xiao Dongxue ordered.

The battlefield was quiet, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the fox lord's already crippled bandit was clearly presented in front of him.

"You don't keep your word, you don't listen to the orders of the imperial army, you don't keep your promises! The fox prince doesn't want to leave, if you continue to use force, we will go to the imperial army to report you. The military master should stop here, the fox prince is willing to give more military salaries and make friends with you! ”

"Fire on all fronts! Drive them out of the bandit and destroy them! ”

In an instant, more intense artillery fire poured down, and the fox lord's bandit was shrouded in even thicker gunsmoke.

A group of mostly horseback, a small number of remnants on foot escaped from the fox lord's bandits, there were more than 100 people, neither in formation, nor in return fire, just desperately fleeing for their lives, the direction was to go to the southeast 'white scarf' bandits.

"The first battalion and the second battalion sent out a hundred brothers to pursue the fox lord bandits, drive them into an ambush circle, and they must all be annihilated! Then go directly to Shahaizi without stopping, and I will send someone to meet you. Xiao Dongxue ordered.

A hundred brothers were ordered to go in pursuit, and many of the backward bandits were killed on the way.

"Follow me into the fox king's bandit cave, and the remnants of the bandits will be killed on the spot, leaving no one alive!"

Xiao Dongxue waved his hand, and the brothers rushed into the fox prince's banditry. Those who did not have time to escape, those who hid, and those who were wounded by the shelling were all killed.

This is a bandit's nest built on a mound, which has become quite large, and although it has been heavily shelled, its defensive function is still very strong, and it will definitely suffer if it is attacked hard. It is not so much that the bandits were beaten away, but that they were actually scared away, or that they were forced to run away by stratagem. Seeing the brothers shuttling and searching between the still smoking gunsmoke and broken walls, Xiao Dongxue's mood was still very heavy, and she also felt that this time she was too ruthless, but not doing so would bring trouble to the next plan.

"Brothers, hurry up and replenish some dry food and water, bring the horses over to drink, let's tidy up and continue to attack, go to Shahaizi!" Xiao Dongxue gave the order again.

The team regrouped and set off. The march of the day was quickened, and it was estimated that it would take less than two hours to reach Shahaizi, where the bandits might not have risen yet, and they would not have thought that a catastrophe was coming.

The fiery red but not very clear sun hung in the east, and the undulating sand dunes were misty and misty, and the cliffs stretched into the distance. Xiao Dongxue's team marched quickly across the sand dunes, leaving behind a trail of sand and dust that quickly dissipated. This team is fighting for fate and future, and the road ahead is still long.
