After Ge Yunfei returned to Xuzhou, he immediately gathered all the generals and officials to study the banditry in western Henan, and he wanted to save a person for his own use. In the headquarters of the 62nd Brigade www.biquge.info, Deputy Division Commander Jiang Fangzhen said: "Overseer, the situation is roughly clear, there is indeed a rebellion in the western generation of Henan, and the leader of the rebellion is called Bai Lang, nicknamed White Wolf. Under the banner of killing the rich and helping the poor against Yuan, they are very rampant. The local army encircled and suppressed to no avail, and this is roughly the case. ”

"Wen Biao!" "Immediately gather all the horses and temporarily form a cavalry regiment to go with me to strangle Bai Lang." "Overseer, it's better for me to lead my troops on the march!" Jiang Fangzhen disagreed. "Okay, don't fight, this time I'm going to capture Bai Lang alive, understand?" Ge Yunfei made a quick decision.

Two days later, Wen Biao temporarily pulled up a cavalry force of 1,000 people, and under the leadership of Ge Yunfei, went straight to Yuxian County in central Henan through northern Anhui. According to historical records, after Bai Lang led his troops to capture Yu County, his power expanded rapidly, so that Bai Lang swept through western Henan, Shanxi, and Gansu for 3 years. Ge Yunfei has to deal with the Japanese next year, so he can't let Bai Lang's power grow bigger and affect the overall situation. In addition, he wanted to subdue Bai Lang for his own use, which was part of Ge Yunfei's plan.

War horses galloped on the field, and in order to hide people's eyes, the route they traveled was panicked mountains and mountains. "Overseer, are you sure Bai Lang will attack Yu County?" Wen Biao and Ge Yunfei walked side by side to break the silence. "I can't say for sure, but I have to predict it, so that we can destroy it in one fell swoop. Our intelligence officers are currently operating in the Xuchang area, closely following Bai Lang's movements. "Overseer, I don't understand why you want to capture Bai Lang alive?" "Bai Lang is a good man, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, I want to let him be used by me to deal with the Japanese in the future."

"Bai Lang is waving the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor and opposing Yuan Shikai, I'm afraid he won't surrender easily!" "It's man-made, I'll make him surrender!" Ge Yunfei was full of confidence, and Wen Biao was confused. The troops crossed the Jinghan Railway and on this day reached Dabaizhuang in the southeast of Yuzhou to stop their advance. In the evening of the same day, the intelligence officers who were active in the Xuchang area rushed to report, and the person who came said: "Bai Lang led his troops to capture Tang County, defeated the 59th Regiment, and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. ”

Ge Yunfei couldn't breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and the overall situation had been decided. "Why Yu County? And not a mesama? Wen Biao asked.

The person came and said: "We analyze, although Bai Lang's men and horses have 1,000 people, most of them are newly joined, so they do not have the ability to capture Pingdingshan. Yu County is the ancient city of Fuze, and there is only a 300-strong city defense battalion in the county, so we judge that Bai Lang will definitely attack Yu County. Ge Yunfei said: "That's right, according to Bai Lang's guerrilla law, after he captures Lushan, he will immediately move his army north, and we will set up an ambush between Zhang De and Hongyang." "Overseer, Bai Lang's men have grown to thousands of people, can they be guaranteed to be wiped out in one fell swoop?"

Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "Bai Lang's department has no base area, and every time he captures a place, he will inevitably obtain a large amount of property, and he is reluctant to throw away anything. In addition, Bai Lang's men and horses have not undergone military training, at best they are a rabble, and they have no combat effectiveness, and I am sure that they will be annihilated in one fell swoop. But there is one thing, Bai Lang must be captured alive! “

In the evening of the same day, the troops set off again and headed for the ambush site. The warm and pleasant warmth of the central Henan Plain in early April created conditions for the concealment of the troops' actions in the field. At midnight that day, the troops arrived at the ambush site.

At dawn, a troop of men and horses marched across the field, a haphazard formation, bloated soldiers, looking nondescript. Everyone was wrapped in a bag, and in the middle of the procession there were a dozen wagons, on which all the belongings of the team - the spoils of war. Don't look at this team, its appearance is not good, but the morale is high. Previously, he was invincible and overwhelming, connecting two county seats. This team was Bai Lang's peasant rebel army, which had now grown to more than a thousand people.

At this time, Bai Lang rode a horse, with his toes high, and he had the momentum of dominating the world. However, Bai Lang's appearance is not flattering, his figure is not high, and he is slightly hunchbacked. Although Bai Lang's appearance is not mighty, he is bold and righteous. What is commendable is that he studied private school for several years when he was a child. Don't look at Bai Lang's weak stature, but he has a big heart. Although Bai Lang had never studied military affairs, he only relied on his familiarity with Sun Tzu's Art of War, and skillfully used tactics such as internal and external cooperation, striking east and west, and long-distance attack, and the encirclement and suppression of the officers and troops were embarrassed.

After several years of training, Bai Lang's guerrilla tactics reached the point of perfection. He has gained these valuable experiences through repeated failures and out of predicament again and again. After taking Lushan this time, the official army thought that Bai Lang would advance eastward, but he made a plan to go north and counterattack Yuxian for a long time. But where did Bai Lang think that this time he met a evil god, who was completely aware of his routines, and then changed his future fate.

"Wang, according to our investigation, there is only one city defense battalion in Yu County, about 200 people, and this city defense battalion has no machine guns and artillery. I will not be in Yu County, and the city defense battalion will flee from the wind. Under the slogan of robbing the rich and helping the poor, we have won the support of the people, and the king will definitely dominate. "The military advisor is flattering beside him." The government forced the people to rebel, and we had no choice but to rebel. Now that the Southern Revolutionary Party and Yuan Shikai are incompatible, it is the time for us to make great progress. ”

Bai Lang said in high spirits: "Heroes are born in troubled times, Bai doesn't dare to call himself a hero, but he can't be willing to be a bear." Tell the brothers to work hard, let's go to Yuxian County to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl, and come to him to get drunk! The subordinates echoed one after another, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. There are no officials and soldiers in this area, and going straight to Yuxian County is like a no-man's land. Bai Lang led his troops to swing a shot on the west side of Xuchang and swaggered towards Yuxian. The officials and soldiers in Xuchang City were so frightened that they only wanted to protect themselves.

A winding dirt road stretches to the north, and on the west side of the road, Ge Yunfei holds a telescope to look at the road. This dirt road is the only way for Bailang to lead to Yuxian, so Ge Yunfei formulated the tactics of attacking from east to west. He ordered Wen Biao to lead 500 men to ambush on the west side of the dirt road, and he himself led 500 people to ambush on the east side of the dirt road. It belongs to the transition zone between the Funiu Mountains and the East Henan Plain, and the semi-hilly terrain has obvious characteristics, which is suitable for cavalry combat. "Overseer, four horses are on the road to the south."

I saw the man on the horse, wearing a turban and carrying a rifle, riding his horse forward, while looking around. "It's Bai Lang's sharp soldiers, don't startle the snakes, let them go!" In less than half an hour, a large group of people appeared behind. "The overseer is clever, and there is no doubt that Bai Lang will attack Yu County. It's like a conquest army, it's a rabble! One of his subordinates scoffed. Don't underestimate the enemy, these people have already put life and death out of the way. A group of people who swear to the death can also burst out with strong combat effectiveness. ”

"There are more than a dozen war horses in the middle, and Bai Lang, the leader of the rebels, must be in the herd, concentrating on attacking the horses for a while. Pass me the order to shoot horses, don't shoot people, I want to live! Bai Lang's brigade entered the ambush position, and Ge Yunfei gave the order to attack. Armed with a sniper rifle, he rushed forward. With the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth, the white waves were in chaos. A large number of officers and cavalry suddenly appeared on the east and west sides, and Bai Lang was shocked and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to flee south.

Ge Yunfei expected that Bai Lang would flee south, so his location happened to be on the south side of the ambush. Bai Lang galloped under the protection of his subordinates, and entered the sniper range of Ge Yunfei, he quickly locked on Bai Lang's war horse, and with a gunshot, he saw Bai Lang's war horse jump up suddenly, and then jumped continuously to throw Bai Lang off the saddle and fall heavily to the ground. The bullet hit the war horse's abdomen, and the war horse naturally went crazy in pain. Bai Lang dismounted, and his subordinates were shocked and hurriedly surrounded Bai Lang to rescue. In this kung fu, Ge Yunfei fired 4 bullets in a row, all of which hit the other war horses.

Dozens of guards also had accurate marksmanship, and when Bai Lang's subordinates rescued and restrained the war horse, their bullets were also aimed at the war horse. Some of the horses ran in pain, and some fell to the ground after hitting the vital points. Fortunately, the brothers rushed to surround and protect Bai Lang, and the crisis was averted. This is exactly the result that Ge Yunfei needs, how can Bai Lang's subordinates have four legs of two legs fast, and those who flee outward are like prey being killed, so they dare not escape without permission, and are gradually driven together, and the cavalry gradually closes around to form a loose encirclement.

Ge Yunfei ordered the attack to stop, the gunfire stopped, and the two sides confronted each other at a distance of 100 meters. There were about 800 people in the Bai Lang Department who were surrounded in the circle, of which more than 30 were killed or wounded, and 100 people scattered and ran out. Ge Yunfei ordered that no pursuit should be allowed, and an encirclement should be formed as soon as possible.

The moment Bai Lang dismounted, he fainted. When he woke up, he found himself surrounded. "Your Majesty, the officers and cavalry have set up an ambush here, and we are surrounded." The military advisor was at a loss and panicked. "King, we will protect you and rush out of the bloody road."

"King, Lao Tzu fought with them, killing one is enough to kill two and earn one." Several subordinates clamored. "King, this is the elite of Beiyang, the tactics are very sophisticated, more than 100 people in the front team rushed north, and they didn't care at all. Now they are besieging but not attacking, and their tactics are clever. The military advisor closed his eyes in pain, meaning that there was no escape. Bai Lang looked around for a while and agreed: "This is flat land, the Beiyang Army is cavalry, we can't run out at all, I'm sorry brother hurt everyone!" “

At this time, an officer on the opposite side rode forward and shouted: "Bai Lang, listen, you have been surrounded, and you can't escape." We, the Overseers, say you're a good man, and if you lay down your arms and surrender, we, the Overseers, promise you a way out. "Great King, you can't listen to their deceptions, even if you die in battle, you won't surrender!" "King, fight with them, Lao Tzu is not afraid of death!" Several subordinates were very popular. "The Overseer himself is out on the horse, damn it, I want to see which god this Overseer is."

At this time, after listening to the other party's shouting, Ge Yunfei stepped forward despite Wen Biao's obstruction. "Bai Lang, this official is Ge Yunfei, the overseer of Shandong, please come out for a conversation." "King, Shandong Overseer Ge Yunfei is not an idle person, how great it is to outwit Jinan City and eliminate the first town of the Beiyang Army, this time he personally went out to strangle us and others, no wonder he was so strong as soon as he made a move!" The military advisor sighed. "King, Ge Yunfei is now Yuan Shikai's eagle dog, you can't trust him."

Bai Lang looked at the crowd and said, "It's come to this, I want to hear what he has to say?" “
