Commander Nojima and Captain Moriya are both ranks, but he is a gendarmerie, and his administrative power is much higher, Nojima immediately called the garrison to ask what happened, on the other side of the phone, Moriya was strong, but framed the commander of the third battalion of the Imperial Allied Army for ignoring the military defense inspection of the Imperial Army garrison, leading the soldiers to make a riot, and finally wounding Moriya Osa, Moritani solemnly stated that it was necessary to rectify military discipline, let Zhen Lingshan suffer some hardships, and let the Imperial Allied Army dare not disobey any orders and defense inspections of the Imperial Army.

The Japanese garrison has the right to inspect and inspect the military defense of the Imperial Allied Army, and Nojima also understands Moriya's personality and arrogance, as well as Watanabe's pampering on the side, he is also Japanese, he can only protect and protect the Japanese, he no longer said anything, just ordered not to cause trouble.

But he didn't wait long, the commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army Yin led his two battalion commanders to come to him to ask for someone, but he didn't give up, Nojima couldn't refuse, and in desperation, he had to pick up the phone again to ask the garrison for someone, and after repeated coordination and consultation, the other party promised to release him tomorrow.

Yin Kun, Yu Zhankui, and Suo Biao walked out of the military police headquarters in a daze, and then returned to the regiment headquarters in a car.

Early the next morning, Yin Kun, Yu Zhankui, and Suo Biao went to the battalion headquarters of the third battalion by car, called Shang Shi Dangdang, and He Zhongheng, two company commanders, and some of his subordinates went to the Japanese garrison to pick up people.

The sedan moved slowly, and the people of the third battalion followed closely behind, and when they arrived at the garrison of the Japanese army, Yin Kun, Yu Zhankui, and Suo Biao went in to go through the formalities to pick up people, and the people of the third battalion waited outside the gate.

After a while, Yin Kun, Yu Zhankui, and Suo Biao walked out of the gate of the garrison, and two Japanese soldiers carried Zhen Lingshan on a stretcher behind them.

The men of the third battalion hurriedly stepped forward to take the stretcher, only to see that the battalion commander Zhen Lingshan on the stretcher was disheveled, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he was obviously severely punished.

Yin Kun hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and he sighed; "The Japanese on dog day are such fucking livestock! Just catch someone in and beat them out to get angry, I didn't expect to hurt people so badly? "He looked at Yu Zhankui and Suo Biao again;" I wanted to set up a few tables of wine banquets for the third battalion commander in the restaurant today, but how can the third battalion commander drink like this now? I think so, the commander of the third battalion did not have a family, so he sent him to the best hospital, asked for a special care ward, so that he could recuperate for a period of time. ”

Zhen Lingshan lay on the stretcher and refused; "Thank you for your kindness, just send me back to the battalion headquarters of the third battalion." He was actually worried that he was injured like this, and he was not in the battalion headquarters, and the brothers below became angry for a while, and did something too stupid to destroy the third battalion.

Yin Kun also understood his intentions, so he carefully instructed Shi Dang; "Good brother, people are under the eaves, I have to bow my head, go back to the battalion headquarters, take care of the battalion commander, call me if I have any difficulties, and also look good at my brothers, don't breed trouble, and cause trouble."

Shi Dangdang nodded heavily, and then beckoned his subordinates to lift the battalion commander and go straight back to the battalion headquarters of the third battalion.

Fangmachuan, the endless green field, blue sky and white clouds, the grass is strong and fertile, the green vegetation is like a tree, many tall and majestic horses grazing in the field, the horses gallop and play and have fun, let them be freely exiled in the field.

This is the garrison and ranch restricted area of the cavalry squadron of the Yokohama Brigade of the Japanese Army, Takihito Eitaro is still wearing a white short-sleeved Han shirt, leading more than a dozen of his personal followers to gallop in the wilderness, practicing riding, a corner of the lawn, propped up with a huge parasol, set up a round table and chairs, on the round table there are wine glasses and English whiskey, which is for Takihito Eitaro to rest.

Taki Hito Eitaro rode the horse for a while, on the chair under the parasol, picked up a glass of whiskey from the round table, slowly tasted, he looked at the grass on the horse group of horses in a daze, he liked horses too much in his life, and also formed an indissoluble bond with horses, he is a member of the Japanese imperial family, everywhere he enjoys special treatment, he once stayed in Scotland, England, Ireland on the grasslands for three years, received training from world-class riding masters, his riding skills can be called world-class, looking at Japan and China, I haven't met an opponent who can match me, but a few days ago I met a child on the lawn of this field, and the child's riding skills really startled him, and also made him a little more worried.

At the end of the field there was a neighing of horses, and a yellow horse galloped like a gallop, and because of the horse's speed, the knights on the horses were naturally extremely skilled, which also attracted the cheers and praise of Takihito Eitaro's men and some Japanese cavalry.

The yellow horse stopped not far in front of Takihito Eitarō, and jumped down from the horse A knight, but it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a full face, thick eyebrows, big round eyes that were black and white, and he was full of tiger spirit, but it was the young man Mantun who had an appointment with Takihito Eitaro to try his skills in slashing immediately.

The young man who came was Mantun, and he saluted with his fists at Eitaro Taki Hito; "Your Excellency Takiren-kun, I came to the appointment in Xiamantun."

Taki Hito Eitaro stood up, he noticed that the young man had a single knife inserted in his back, and he really lived up to the agreement and rushed to test his slashing skills, he smiled with satisfaction, and said politely to Mantun; "Man Jun is really an honest person, don't let this pavilion down, please sit down first, let's have a few glasses of wine."

At this time, there were also a few Japanese cavalry officers and soldiers on the lawn, and the captain of the cavalry squadron walked in the front, he probably heard from his subordinates that the boy Mantun had tried riding with Hidetaro Taki Ren last time, and it seemed that he was slightly better, he didn't believe it, he knew that Eitaro Takihito's riding skills were the best in the world, how could a mountain child be taught? Today, this kid is here, and of course he has to come over to see the excitement and confirm whether those rumors are true.

When Eitaro saw the leader of the cavalry squadron coming over, he introduced Mantun; "The captain of the cavalry squadron of the Yokohama Brigade, Ikegami-kun, is also a good friend of mine." After speaking, he pointed to Mantun and introduced; "This is China's friend Mantunjun, first-class superb horsemanship, and his riding skills were also practiced in the cavalry camp of the Manchurian Kwantung Army."

Man Tun first clasped his fists and saluted; "Your Excellency Squadron Leader is well! Mantun is courteous here. ”

"Yo Xi!" Squadron Leader Chishang waved his hand and said, it was a return gift, he kept looking the young man up and down with a pair of triangular eyes, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously; "What is the background of Man Tunjun's life experience? How can it be related to the cavalry camp of the Kwantung Army, and be able to practice horsemanship there? ”

Man Tun smiled faintly and replied calmly; "There is no background in the next life, and I have been selling horses for generations, trained horses, and knows a little about riding, one of my second uncles was hired by the Japanese Kwantung Army as a veterinary officer of the 106th Division Cavalry Brigade, so I followed the second uncle to enter and exit the cavalry brigade at any time, the Kwantung Army soldiers were heroic and heroic, enthusiastic and frank, I became good friends with them, and my riding skills were also sublimated in the cavalry brigade."

Takihito Eitaro is enthusiastic about Mantun; "Man Tunjun, please sit down, let's talk while drinking."

The three of them sat down in the chairs, and the attendant guards handed the glass to the three of them, filled it with wine, and Eitaro Takihito raised the wine glass and said; "Here, a toast to our meeting today!"

After the three of them drank the wine in the glass, the attendant guards poured the wine in the cup for the three of them, and Eitaro Takihito's eyes fell on the handle of the knife stuck in Mantun's back, and asked with a smile; "Man Tunjun, you should use a military saber to kill immediately, it is light and flexible, I see that the handle of the knife on your back seems to be a little bulky?"

Man Tun took the knife from his back and placed it on the round table, explaining; "This is not my sword, it is the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army of the General of Weimengshan, and here's the thing, they also set up a cavalry team, and I happened to meet them, and I tried to teach them, and if I won them, I got this knife and a horse, I see that this knife is still very strong and strong, so I want to use this knife to compete with His Excellency Takiren Jun today."

When Squadron Leader Chishang heard the words of the New Fourth Army guerrillas, he was immediately startled and asked vigilantly; "They sent you?"

Man Tun looked at him contemptuously and replied in an explanation; "As I said earlier, I was competing with them to win this sword and horse."

Eitaro Takihito was also a little dissatisfied with the frightened behavior of the squadron leader of Ikegami, and couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, Ikegami couldn't care about this, he immediately stood up, put the wine glass on the round table, left his seat, walked straight to the horse that Mantun was riding, looked up and down, and finally carefully examined the horse's rump part, and then exclaimed; "This is the horse of my cavalry squadron, and the military seal on it belongs to the Yokohama Brigade."

Takihito Eitaro was also a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask Mantun; "Mantun-kun, is this horse really from the Yokohama Brigade?"

When the squadron leader Chishang returned to the seat, with a look of angry eyebrows, as if he was about to ask the teacher for sin, Man Tun explained again; "I think it should be your Yokohama brigade, where did the New Fourth Army guerrillas get such tall and majestic horses? They must have gotten out of you, they still have more than a dozen horses there, and I have one more thing to do today, that is, I want to recover those war horses for His Excellency Takihito-kun? ”

When Squadron Leader Chishang heard him say this, his anger suddenly disappeared, his attitude became kind, and he quickly sat down and asked anxiously; "Man Tunjun, is there any way you can recover these war horses for us?"

Man Tun unhurriedly raised his wine glass and made a gesture to Squadron Leader Chishang to drink, and when Squadron Leader Chishang took a big sip, he finished the wine in the wine glass and smacked his lips and praised; "This wine is delicious, no worse than our Manchurian burning knife wine."

"It's a pure British whiskey." Hidetaro Takihito explained, the implication is that the price of this wine is many times more expensive than your burnt knife wine.

Man Tun smiled innocently, and then continued; "Those guerrillas of the New Fourth Army can be said to be unaware of the height of the sky, their cavalry team is in tatters, and they actually want me to speak to His Excellency Taki Renjun, they want to find Your Excellency to compete, if they lose, they are willing to return all the war horses to you, if they win, you will give them more than a dozen war horses, the competition is divided into three, three fights and two wins, one side only needs to win two games, these crops are really beyond their own strength, they compete with the imperial army to teach the volume, isn't it a praying mantis blocking the car? I think this is a good opportunity, not only to recover the lost war horses, but also to teach those New Fourth Army guerrillas a lesson. ”

Squadron Leader Ikegami immediately objected; "No, who is our Excellency Takihito-kun? How could he compete with those guerrillas in his capacity, wouldn't it be a joke when this was spread? ”

Eitaro Takihito groaned for a while before he spoke; "According to Chinese, if you speak loudly, you must have extensive learning, maybe there are one or two masters among them, so they dare to give me a war letter, and if you go to meet them, what is wrong with them, and also recover those lost war horses, those are all pure blood-related horses......" Speaking of this, he turned his head to Man Tun and asked; It's just that how to conduct the test between me and Man Tunjun? ”

Mantun explained again; "Of course, the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army also have conditions, because I easily won them, so they proposed that I and Your Excellency Taki-re-jun have one side each, and if Your Excellency Taki-re-kun is unwilling to compete with them, it doesn't matter, I will give them a reply and cancel the competition."

"No, go meet them—" Eitaro Takihito smiled confidently; "One of the things I can do with Man Tunjun is a competition, and by the way, I can also get back those lost war horses, what's wrong? Second, in the other two competitions, Ikegami-kun dispatched the people of your cavalry squadron, and I will also check the training quality of your cavalry squadron, and this kind of competition between the enemy and us is the best test. ”

Squadron Leader Ikegami saw that Eitaro Taki had made up his mind, and it was difficult to say anything, so he had to nod his head and admit, "Okay, since Your Excellency has decided to compete with them, I will bring some cavalry with you, and let Your Excellency see the combat quality of our Yokohama Brigade." ”

Eitaro Takihito turned his head and asked Mantun Dao; "Mantun-kun, where is the time and place to meet them?"

Man Tun replied immediately; "In the green forest under the Fangma River, the time is set at noon, I still have to affirm that this is the competition agreed by both parties to immediately kill the skills, both sides should be in line with the principle of fairness, do not bring too many people to go, it is also related to the reputation and prestige of both sides, I hope both sides will abide by it."

Eitaro Takihito raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist and said to the squadron leaders of Mantun and Ikegami; "How could the dignified cavalry squadron of the Yokohama Brigade play tricks with ordinary guerrillas? Although Man Tunjun can rest assured, there is still a little time, and it is appropriate for us to drink another bottle of wine and go again. After speaking, his retinue of guards commanded;" Open another bottle of whiskey! ”

The attendant took out another bottle of whiskey from the wooden box next to the round table, uncorked it, and filled the glasses for the three of them, and the three of them drank leisurely and chatted.

Located at the foot of the Fangma River, the vacant area where the Japanese Yokohama Brigade confronted the National Army, this area appears in the col of a huge open plain, and there is a large area of endless woods, the woods are lush and verdant, so it is named Cuilin Ridge.
