Chapter 16 The regular army flew high, and the Southern Route Army returned with a crushing defeat. Section V.

"Everyone! According to the information of the Secret Bureau, at the moment, the old nest of the Tanliang Brigade of the 'Turkish Communists' is empty, only the sixth squadron that attacked us last night, and this unit has been busy all night, and has walked so many nights, I see that I am almost tired, therefore, their vigilance is very poor, and several other troops are not as fast as our wheels because they attacked us on the road, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back for a while and a half. also govern his body', also come to a night attack, catch him off guard, and take out this bandit's nest in one fell swoop, and then, wave the division of Leyuan and the brotherhood on the Western Front, what do you think? Fu Gui seemed to see that victory was in front of him, and he became excited when he spoke.

"I think it's okay! In this way, this time the bandits' nest will definitely be broken! Meng Chao also felt that fighting such a sleepy small army was like killing chickens with a knife, and there was no reason not to win!

"I'm for it! This is called 'one report for one report', and we also want to let the 'Turkish Communist Party' taste the taste of 'eating in my dreams', beat him up and slaughter those 'Turkish Communist Party' alive to relieve the hatred in my heart! Mo Tong was very angry when he thought of the losses suffered by the Tanliang guerrilla brigade several times to encircle and suppress them, especially the last time Liangyou Town was besieged, not only did he almost lose his life, but also lost the position of battalion commander.

"Then it's decided, tonight night attack the Tanliang guerrilla bandits' nest, one blow to win, you have to go all out, success in one move!" Fu Gui looked at a few people, and seemed to be a little uneasy, coming down all the way. The first battalion of his 686th Regiment has already lost troops and consumed a lot, and the two of them don't need to work hard. I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the task of suppressing bandits. Mo Tong understood Fu Gui's worries, and swore and said, "Camp Commander Fu can rest assured!" I, Mo Tong! I must do my best to suppress the bandits, these bandits are my mortal enemies! Meng Chao then said: "It is the common responsibility of our party-state soldiers to exterminate the communist bandits, and it is incumbent on them!" ”

"Good! With these few words from everyone, why worry about the immortality of the 'Turkish Communist Party'! Fu Gui slapped the table and stood up. Since there is no car to get from Liangyou to Tanliang's enemy's nest, and there is a distance, we can only enter on foot. Cars and other things can only be left in Liangyou, and the troops who were on guard duty last night stay behind to take care of them, and the rest of the troops have dinner in advance and set off for Tanliang immediately after dinner. Let's get ready to go! ”

Let's talk about the Western Front. Liang Desheng, commander of the second battalion of the 686th Regiment. With the troops, they rode all the way to Xicheng County. In Xicheng County, he met with Liang Qingqiu, the head of Xicheng County, Wei Jiade, the chief captain of the Self-Defense Corps, and Xia Ting, the deputy captain of the Self-Defense Corps, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome, welcome! The brothers of the national army of the 686th regiment came to our county! Welcome, welcome! Battalion Commander Liang came to our county to discipline and suppress bandits, so that our county is full of glory and glory, welcome! Liang Qingqiu, the county magistrate, stepped forward and shook hands with Camp Commander Liang.

Liang Desheng greeted the welcoming crowd with a fist and said, "Where, where! Thanks to the people of Xicheng and their parents for their love for the national army, they were flattered. Flattered! ”

"This way, please!" The group broke away from the hustle and bustle of the welcoming crowd and came to a room in the county government courtyard that was elegantly furnished. It also has the characteristics of the local tyrants of the Gelao people. The table in the middle is already full of all kinds of mountain delicacies. There are stewed turtledoves with water fish, wild boar buckles, white-cut pheasant plates, slices of fruit through the mountains, and small fish larvae by the Xicheng River...... Liang Qingqiu asked Liang Desheng to take a seat, and then, he and Wei Jiade sat down on both sides, and the others sat down by themselves, and when the wine glass was full of wine, Liang Qingqiu took the cup.

"Raise your glasses! This glass of wine, welcome the battalion commander of the national army Liang to lead the troops, come to this county, we are very honored, come! Cheers! "Liang Qingqiu did it first, and the others also did it," the second cup, I wish the battalion commander Liang and the male soldiers to suppress the bandits, and the horses will be successful, and the bandits will be eliminated, cheers!" "!" Everyone toasted again, "This third cup, come!" Cheers to our military-civilian cooperation, sincere unity, and direct smashing the bandits' nest! "!" The crowd drank the third cup. After three rounds of drinking, Liang Qingqiu asked, "How is this wine?" Liang Desheng replied: "Good wine! Liang Qingqiu introduced: "This is the famous local Xicheng rice wine, pure!" Wait for two more drinks and eat vegetables first! Eat the vegetables first! Liang Qingqiu sandwiched a wild boar buckle and put it in Liang Desheng's bowl, and then introduced the names of the dishes to Liang Desheng one by one.

"County Magistrate Liang, you are too polite! As a soldier of the party-state, I have not yet gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so I will eat such a sumptuous meal from you first, little brother, I am ashamed of it! Liang Desheng said embarrassedly.

"Ouch! Battalion Commander Liang, you're worried! Where is this hearty meal? In your Dragon City, it may be difficult to eat these things, but they can be found everywhere in our place, and they are not rare, and everyone can eat them. Wei Jiade reassured.

"Really? These are all mountain delicacies! Liang Desheng couldn't believe his ears, if he was in Dragon City, he could invite the chief to eat such a delicious meal, everything would be much easier.

"Brother, Brother Wei, I can't lie to you? Let me tell you this, here we have tigers running on the ground, eagles flying in the sky, wild fish swimming in the water, pangolins and civet cats drilling in the mountains, and as for water fish and birds, not to mention, they abound. After the 'Tu Gong' this time, Lao Tzu will bring a few guns and accompany you to the mountains for a turn, including what you want. Wei Jiade gently patted Liang Desheng's chest with the back of his hand, and laughed "haha", and everyone also laughed with "haha".

"Mr. Wei! This is what you said, then little brother, I will play with Brother Wei after the war? "Liang Desheng has momentum.

"Little things, wrap up on me!" Wei Jiade readily agreed, "Come on!" Cheers to our pheasants! Wei Jiade poured Liang Desheng another glass of wine.

When he was drunk for eight minutes, Liang Desheng stood up to leave, and kept shouting: "Don't stop me!" Don't stop me! I...... I'll leave now, ...... Beat him up as a bandit, and you all ...... Don't stop me......"

"Brother, bring ...... Take me with you...... I'm going to kill ...... too Kill devils. Xia Ting grabbed Liang Desheng and looked at Liang Desheng with slanted eyes and said.

"Brother Wei, no, no, no! Brother Xia. You're drunk, you're really drunk! How many years has it been in the Republic of China now, and ...... still killed What about killing devils? Liang Desheng laughed drunkly.

"What the hell are you killing...... I mean kill...... Kill the 'Turkish Communists'. Right! It's to kill ...... Kill the 'Turkish Communists'. Xia Ting grabbed Wadeson with one arm and pointed ahead with the other, and said to Wadeson.

Several people drank a lot of wine, and under the protection of their entourage, they staggered back to their residences, fell asleep, and slept until dawn. On this night. All the great plans to suppress the Communist Party and the heavy responsibilities of the party-state have all been thrown out of the clouds. Some are, "There is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow we will discuss right and wrong."

The next day, Liang Desheng woke up. It was nearly noon. Liang Desheng hurriedly called someone to invite Liang Qingqiu, Wei Jiade, and Xia Ting. Discuss the march to the army as soon as possible. The troops waited until the afternoon before they set out. Along the way, there were no cars, and the war materials, including ammunition, as well as food and shelter, were carried by manpower, and the soldiers carried enough ammunition and a small amount of rations. The rest are all carried by the "basket team". These "basket teams" are quite numerous, and each carries a large basket on his back. It contained all kinds of supplies, and these people were all migrant workers captured from Xicheng County. Because the mountain road is winding and rugged, it is difficult to walk, and the speed of travel is obviously much slower, and sometimes the distance from this pass to that pass seems to be very close, but it takes hours to walk. In this way, I didn't come to the first stop - Longtou Village until it was dark. That night, the 2nd Battalion and the Self-Defense Corps were stationed in Longtou Village. In the middle of the night, gunshots rang out, and Liang Desheng, Liang Qingqiu, Wei Jiade, Xia Ting and others hurriedly got up and went out of the house to check the movement.

"Report to the battalion commander! There was a 'Turkish Communist Party' attacking us. "An officer came to report.

"How many people came?" Liang Desheng asked.

"The exact number is unknown."

"There weren't many people listening to this gunshot, and I think it must have been the 'Turkish Communist Party' No. 3 Squadron that attacked us, and this unit is operating in this area." Wei Jiade said with confidence.

"That's right! The last time I encircled and suppressed, it was this squadron that specialized in stealing chickens and touching dogs, which made my head go big (carving), this time, I have to kill him first! Liang Qingqiu said fiercely. The last time Leyuan was encircled and suppressed, Huang Ou, the magistrate of Nanliang County, Wei Jiade, and Xia Tingyi Road, and he and Chen Bingyi, the chief of the Nanliang County Self-Defense Corps, were in this area dealing with the Third Squadron of the Communist Bandits and the militia.

"I'm also saying, let's get rid of this third squadron first, lest we fucking cut off our back road for him." Wei Jiade is also worried. Because they are different from the regular army, they have repeatedly learned the power of the "Turkish Communist Party". Therefore, when we have learned a lesson and think about problems, we look ahead and look backwards, and are afraid of the future, for fear that we will be seized by the "Turkish Communist Party" again.

"The two of you don't know, this encirclement and suppression, there is an order from the peak, if you don't go all out to attack Leyuan and delay the division, you will be engaged in military law, and it is difficult to blame the younger brother! It's better to do this, the two of you will first clear out the third squadron of the 'Turkish Communists' here, and our battalion will go straight to Leyuan, with the strength of our regular army, there should be no problem. Liang Desheng said confidently. As a regular army, military discipline, training, and equipment are not on the same level as those of the local armed forces, and the local armed forces are incomparable, not to mention those "local communists" who hold a few shotguns.

"We have all learned the power of the 'Turkish Communist Party', so it's better not to attack rashly! Battalion Commander Liang, what do you think, the main force of this encirclement and suppression operation is set on the southern front, with the main force of the 1st Battalion of your 686th Regiment, the Nanjing Traffic Police Corps with American-style equipment, and the security regiment with good combat effectiveness, and the traffic is much easier than ours, which is convenient for mobile operations. And on our Western Front, in addition to your regular battalions, the others are the Self-Defense Forces and the militia groups, and the combat effectiveness is too far apart! Look at the terrain again, it's all fucking mountain roads and slopes, easy to defend and difficult to attack. I said dude! It's better to wait for the main force of the southern front to approach Leyuan from Tanliang, when the enemy's army is unstable and the troops are in chaos, we will attack Leyuan in one go, which is a smart move! After speaking, Wei Jiade touched Liang Desheng with his shoulder, and Liang Qingqiu agreed with "yes, yes".

These cunning guys! There is a reason why we have repeatedly failed to suppress bandits and use our regular army! However, they also have a point. Liang Desheng looked at the black, knife-like peaks around him, as if their little troops were surrounded by countless groups of demons and ghosts, and a cold air came up from the bottom of his heart, and his body couldn't help but tremble. He hurriedly said, "Okay then! According to what you mean, first suppress the gang of 'Turkish Communists' in front of you. (To be continued......)
