Chapter 147: The Light of Hope Lies Ahead

Before receiving Yu Chengchan's order, Xiao Dongxue encountered a small trouble here. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiaoqiu took the team to join Xiao Dongxue's team every other day, and when he saw the almost destroyed Dasumu Material Transfer Station, he muttered back and forth, and scolded from time to time 'dead, dead'.

"The bandits are cunning, cunning, and come two days in advance to sneak attack. The inaccuracy of the intelligence, the rice bucket of the intelligence! ”

"Xiaoqiu Taijun, the 'Manxi Volunteers' have fled not far away, I ask to go and pursue!" Xiao Dongxue asked Xiaoqiu for instructions.

"No! It's been two days, and you don't know where the bandits are going. ”

"I've sent someone to follow and reconnoiter and know where they're fleeing."

"Your conscience is greatly damaged by the delay of the warplane! I'm going back to the meeting, and I'm going to redeploy the bandits. ”

Xiao Dongxue wanted to reason with Xiaoqiu, but Xiaoqiu turned his head and walked to the temporary headquarters and didn't bother with Xiao Dongxue at all. Xiao Dongxue looked at Xiaoqiu's back, gritted her teeth and returned to her residence angrily.

After a while, Xiao Dongxue received an order from Xiaoqiu and asked her to go to the headquarters for a meeting to study the next action plan. Xiao Dongxue didn't leave immediately, and dressed up slowly. In fact, she had already figured out how to deal with Xiaoqiu. She knew that Xiaoqiu didn't know the true intentions of the 27th Brigade at all now, and she didn't have any doubts about the 27th Brigade's grassland bandits, but she was just a little dissatisfied with the battle in front of her. She also knew that Xiaoqiu still wanted to use her at the moment, whether she wanted to force Jackie Chan to show up, or if she wanted to eliminate the 'Manxi Volunteer Army', she was needed Xiao Dongxue. These dozen or so Japanese could not make a big wave at all in the 27th Brigade, which had more than 1,500 people, and they were also weak-minded. What's more, she has become famous in the first battle, showing the combat effectiveness of the 27th Brigade and the sincerity of the grassland bandits, Xiaoqiu has nothing to say. The current approach is just to suppress her sharpness and give her a little trouble.

When she came to the temporary headquarters, Xiao Dongxue, who was dressed in bright clothes, did not look away, and her face was still a little dignified, and she sat straight on the seat that had been reserved for her.

"Madame's hard work and achievements in this expedition are high, and the grassland bandits won a great victory in the first battle, without losing a soldier or a general, and completely annihilating the three grassland bandits that have been rampant for a hundred years, and the heroic name instantly shocked the grassland. Give me and the twenty-seventh brigade commander face, what a heroine among women! Xiaoqiu Taijun also reported to the above and asked his wife for credit. Taijun praised his wife for her courage and strategy, she is a strong iron army under the command and teaching of the imperial army, and she will do everything to eliminate the bandits, kill them all, and leave no troubles, which is very imperial army style and worthy of praise! Wang Zhankui saluted his wife first, and after a while, Xiaoqiu Taijun would congratulate his wife, and hoped that his wife would show her might again and make military exploits! ”

The cunning and spicy Wang Zhankui felt that the current atmosphere was a little tense, and with the Japanese long-term contempt for Chinese conventions and Xiao Dongxue's temper, he was afraid that the matter would end badly, so he stood up first and said something. The first is to remind Xiao Dongxue to be cautious, now is not the time to tear her face. The second is to hint at Xiaoqiu, Xiao Dongxue is not easy to mess with, I hope he will not be too presumptuous.

Wang Zhankui's words seemed to have an effect, and Xiao Qiu and Xiao Dongxue's expressions eased slightly. But Xiaoqiu still felt a little awkward in his heart, Xiao Dongxue acted in advance before receiving a formal order, and went on a killing spree, killing all three bandits, and the cruelty was staggering. But after receiving the order, they did not take active action, so that the 'Manxi Volunteers' escaped smoothly after attacking the Dasumu material transfer station, was it deliberate, or did they really have no time to rescue?

"Shaw's, don't carry out the order! First acted without authorization, and then delayed the fighter plane, his conscience was greatly damaged, and he must ask the imperial army for his guilt! Seeing that Xiaoqiu was still hesitating, Ihara first expressed his position, wanting to directly express Xiaoqiu's unwillingness or inconvenience to express his meaning directly, so as to share the worries of his superiors.

"I sincerely serve the imperial army, not only actively suppressing bandits, but also dare not keep the captured booty privately, and hand it over to the imperial army to deal with. But I don't understand, since the imperial army ordered us to come to the grassland to suppress the bandits, how did the suppression of the bandits become an unauthorized action, didn't the imperial army let us come to the grassland to suppress the bandits, but had another plan? We were in the middle of three bandits, alone in the depths, and if there were reinforcements from the 'Manchurian Volunteers' behind us, we would be in danger from all sides. Your delay in approaching us from behind, and your lack of clear instructions in time, forced me to act. As I said, survival is our first choice, and whoever endangers the lives of our brothers is the one I want to kill! What's more, those three bandits are still the targets of our extermination, how can I let them go? ”

"It's a pity that these three bandits have a false reputation, they are too unbeaten, and they didn't even have an effective counterattack, so they were wiped out by their brothers. Leaving no future troubles and killing them all is the teaching of the imperial army, Xiao Dongxue, I dare not disobey the order. It's just that Sha Haizi's bandits ran too fast, and the brothers were tired, so they let them go, and only a few escaped and didn't know where to go. Before the expedition, Xiaoqiu Taijun had appointed me as the front-line commander, and it was my duty to deal with front-line military operations in an emergency, I couldn't delay the fighters, and I would fight when the bandits were ready, that was not my Xiao Dongxue's character! Fortunately, I met these three gangs, so that I did not live up to the trust of the imperial army, and easily achieved the first victory of the grassland bandits, which is not only my efforts, but also the command and cultivation of the imperial army. ”

"As for the 'Manxi Volunteer Army's sneak attack on the Dasumu material transfer station, Xiao Dongxue was really helpless, and by the time I arrived, the bandits had already fled and disappeared. It was dark and difficult to discern the direction of the bandits' escape, and it was difficult to make a rash pursuit, Xiao Dongxue never fought a battle that he was not sure of! What's more, the order Xiao Dongxue received was to assist in the defense of the Dasumu material transfer station, not to relieve the siege, let alone to pursue the bandits, with the lesson of the last time, Xiao Dongxue did not dare to act without authorization. It is a pity that Taijun arrived here with his team for a day and a night, and although I detected the escape direction of the 'Manchurian Volunteers', I had lost my fighter plane, and I went recklessly to pursue the bandits with less than 100 people on the prairie, which not only consumed combat strength, but also did not have good results. It is even more regrettable that the inaccurate information obtained this time allowed the bandits to escape smoothly, alarmed them again, and brought trouble to their annihilation in the future. ”

"If Taijun is to blame, I have nothing to say. Just remind Taijun that 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent' is the principle of the Chinese in fighting a war, and if they do not understand the other side's strategic intentions and action plans, they will make mistakes in attacking in the future. The 'Manxi Volunteer Army' is different from the general bandits in the grassland, they are well-trained, and their strategy and combat effectiveness are very prominent, and the Anbei Garrison is not an opponent at all, otherwise we would not have come here to suppress the bandits. For the time being, we still need to unite as one, study a practical and feasible strategic plan, and strive to completely annihilate this bandit as soon as possible. As long as the 'Manxi Volunteer Army' is exterminated, other scattered small bandits will not be troubled, and the grassland will be peaceful! ”

"I admire and even worship the strategy and tactics of the Imperial Army, and I am willing to work for it! But I can't risk going deep alone without trust, so I ask again to let Commander Wang or Commander Fang play the forward, and I will assist and cooperate in the back. But no matter who charges ahead, we must plan carefully, so as not to waste our energy and be calculated by bandits. ”

Xiao Dongxue spoke for a long time with a little excitement, but she still sat upright, her eyes did not squint, and the expression on her face looked very serious. Wang Zhankui looked left and right, Xiaoqiu and the others didn't speak, and the whole atmosphere still seemed very depressing.

"This old, pushing me forward again. I'm so old, and I've been riding horses and fighting all day long, and I've not broken my bones. If I am calculated by the bandits again, I will be a shameful adult, you are famous in the grassland, let me be embarrassed, I won't do it! If you don't let Captain Fang go to the striker, then the kid will ask for battle every day. ”

Wang Zhankui's words didn't have much effect, and Xiaoqiu and the others still didn't speak. However, Xiaoqiu understood that Wang Zhankui and Xiao Dongxue were playing double reeds, and Mingli was secretly expressing his dissatisfaction with him. But after thinking about it carefully, their words are not unreasonable, on the surface, the two of them are still loyal to the imperial army, even if they are acting, they can't find anything too wrong, after all, they are suspected of letting Xiao Dongxue's lone army into danger, and they are also suspected of taking the opportunity to consume the strength of the 27th Brigade, and they can't let them deepen this suspicion anymore, making a big fuss is not good for the entire grand strategy, and they have to stabilize them. Especially Xiao Dongxue, she is indeed not an ordinary woman, no wonder the imperial army has not been able to destroy Yu Jackie Chan's team for more than ten years, there are so many capable people around him, Xiao Dongxue is one of the best.

Xiaoqiu looked up at Xiao Dongxue, still sitting upright and expressionless. This woman who is true and false, and who is deeply hidden, really makes him a little difficult. It is indeed a miracle that he was able to wipe out three groups of more than 300 grassland bandits with 500 people in one day, and no one was killed, which was a bandit nest that was hundreds of miles away and had been in operation for many years. And handed over all the loot to the imperial army to deal with, there were a lot of good things in it, which was a very fruitful harvest since he joined the army. Moreover, the 'Manchurian Volunteers' that the imperial army most wanted to eliminate had not yet achieved its goal, and it was a big strategic mistake to fall out with them at this time. Thinking of this, Xiaoqiu owed his body and glanced at everyone expressionlessly.

"You two husbands and wives don't play double reeds, the imperial army understands! Failing to carry out the orders of the Imperial Army well and betraying the trust and teachings of the Imperial Army was not allowed by the Imperial Army of Japan! There is a mistake in execution, but the credit is still great, the imperial army does not care, and Xiao's should not complain anymore. The imperial army decided that Xiao's return to the front line commander and meritorious service to suppress bandits would be greatly rewarded by the imperial army! The 'Manxi Volunteers' are cunning and cunning, Xiao's, tell me, what do you think? ”

Xiao Qiu's words of both soft and hard were expected by Xiao Dongxue, but what she didn't expect was that Xiao Qiu actually asked her to talk about her thoughts first, instead of issuing orders, which really surprised her, but she couldn't help but say it.

"Thanks to the imperial army for its tolerance to me, Xiao Dongxue is willing to serve the imperial army and exterminate the 'Manxi Volunteer Army'! The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there are differences in the judgment of the enemy's situation, so I understand the intentions of the Imperial Army and will resolutely carry out the orders of the Imperial Army. As for the 'Manxi Volunteers', according to our investigations, the bandits who attacked Dasumu are evacuating to their lair in the Hulun Lake area, and although the direction is erratic, they are generally fleeing in that direction. The other two 'Manxi Volunteers' also left Hulun Lake and slowly approached the bandits who attacked Dasumu, as if the intention was that the three bandits would join together and form a joint force, looking for an opportunity to attack us. ”

"I judged that the bandits in front were luring us, and the other two bandits might have to find a suitable location to ambush us, and if I went deep alone, I might suffer. I suggest that our troops be divided into three routes, I will go in front to pursue the bandits who attacked Dasumu, to create the illusion that the enemy is alone in the depths, Xiaoqiu Taijun led the headquarters to follow me behind the command, and sent the head of the regiment and the head of the horse to quietly outflank the past from the left and right directions, forcing the three bandits into one place and annihilating them in one fell swoop! ”

"Pure ****** bad idea, do you think that the 'Manxi Volunteers' are easy to provoke, and none of the three of you alone may be their opponents, aren't you waiting to let them break through each of them? Besides, the Imperial Army and I have such a small number of people from the headquarters, in case the bandits come around to attack us, it will be miserable, I don't agree! Wang Zhankui first stood up and objected, and his attitude was still very resolute, and the others still look at me, and I see that you don't express your position.

The hill sat still, his little eyes blinking rapidly, and he knew that everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.

"Just do what Xiao says! Xiao left a hundred people with a hundred people in the headquarters, and Wang Sang commanded. Xiao's, set off now and pursue the bandits! Fang's and Ma's tomorrow's departure, quietly outflanking, and acting covertly. The advance of the three roads, Xiao's sudden advance, he had to come to the headquarters every day to report the position and the enemy's situation, and the violators were dead! ”

Under the fierce gaze and powerful gesture of the hillock, everyone left, each getting ready. Xiao Dongxue led the team to quickly set off to pursue the 'Manxi Volunteer Army'. Before leaving, I also went to see Xiaoqiu, and of course I also went to see Wang Zhankui.

The sky of the prairie is as blue as the sea, a few white clouds ripple freely in the sky, and the green prairie sees swimming cows, horses and sheep from time to time, and the sky and the ground reflect each other. Xiao Dongxue ran non-stop with the team for two days, getting farther and farther away from the headquarters, but getting closer and closer to the 'Manxi Volunteers' in front.

"Order the team to be stationed and rest, and strengthen the vigilance!"

After Xiao Dongxue arranged for the team to be stationed, she turned around and said to Lan Ling, the guard beside her: "Bring a sister, put on makeup and contact Jiang Dazhu, so that he can lead us into the area of Wild Wolf Gully as planned." Tell him to contact Commander Fang and Li Zhongjiang, and after the three teams meet at Yewolfgou, they will make the illusion of ambushing us in Yewolfgou, and when we arrive, they will flee to the border of Outer Mongolia as planned, and suddenly return at the right time to go straight to the border of the Soviet Union. ”

After sending Lan Ling away, Xiao Dongxue stood in place, looking into the distance, feeling very comfortable, he knew that he was not far from achieving the goal of Jackie Chan's strategic intention.

"Send a letter to the headquarters Kogaoka Taijun and tell him where we are now. It is said that we have detected the exact whereabouts of the 'Manxi Volunteers', and that the 'Manxi Volunteers' in front of us want to lead us into the Wild Wolf Gully, and the other two 'Manxi Volunteers' are also quietly approaching the Wild Wolf Ditch, with the purpose of setting up an ambush there to attack us. I suggest that our unit continue to pursue the 'Manxi Volunteer Army' in front of us, create an uninformed illusion for the enemy, and let Regiment Commander Fang and Regiment Commander Ma detour back to the Wild Wolf Ditch from both sides to form a counter-encirclement and annihilate the 'Manxi Volunteer Army' that is rampant across the grassland in one fell swoop. Tell Kogao Taijun that our department will continue to move forward according to this idea, and ask for instructions! Go and go back quickly, and look for us in the direction of Wolf Gully. ”

Xiao Dongxue watched the herald ride away and disappeared into the distance before returning to his headquarters to eat and rest. She was too tired these days, and she had to take a good rest and tell the guards not to disturb her easily.

Stripping naked, wiping your body with water, and getting into the bed, it was very comfortable. But she didn't fall asleep right away, her brain was still thinking nervously. She knew that the closer a good hunter got to his prey, the more cautious he became, and would only strike a fatal blow to his prey when he was very sure. Although she has seen the light and hope is ahead, she still has to be cautious to prevent possible variables.
