The two were gossiping, and Han Xing made a careful observation of Ma Benzhai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Commander Ma was dressed in military uniform, forty-one or two years old, medium build, thin, resolute face, full small eyes, two thick eyebrows, hung crookedly, with a firm nose and thin lips.

Commander Ma is different from ordinary people, that is, he has a calm and firm expression. Otherwise, Han Xing summed it up, the calmer and more determined his face is, the more content he has in his heart.

While he was talking, Deputy Commander Zhao Jianmin came in, and as soon as he came in, he quickly grabbed Han Xing's hand and said, "Commander Han is here, welcome!" Welcome! This time in the Lanvo breakout, Commander Han played brilliantly, with dozens of tractors, converted into earthen tanks, and beat the little devils not to eat vegetables. I said, Commander Han, why did you have so many twists and turns in your heart, some tractors for plowing the fields were actually equipped with dirt tanks, and the devils in Liaocheng were stunned when they saw you. ”

Commander Ma beat the side drum again and said, "Okay, our three commanders hug each other tightly, so that all the Japanese puppets in this area can see how powerful we are!?" ”

Han Xing was embarrassed to say this, blushed a little and said: "The two chiefs are the real commanders, I am a fake commander, that is, a small section chief, a soldier under you." ”

Ma Benzhai joked to Han Xing: "You, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, are the commanders who really fight big battles." And the two of us are the little commanders who deal with these little devils and traitors. ”

Han Xing was most concerned about the losses suffered by Commander Zhao's troops under the Lanwo breakout, and asked Commander Zhao: "In the Lanwo breakout, I don't know how the troop losses of the division were?" ”

Zhao Jianmin's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "The loss is serious, it must be greater than your loss." But in any case, the backbone of the division has come to prominence, and after this period of rest, it has gradually recovered its vitality. ”

After a pause, Zhao Jianmin said: "The Third Sub-district is going to hold a welcoming meeting for the Muslim detachment today. ”

Han Xing, Wang Xiu'e, Wu Xiaoming, and Li Dazhong immediately gave a military salute to Ma Benzhai and Zhao Jianmin, saying, "Yes!" ”

The welcome meeting was held in a large courtyard in Zhang Luji, and on a simple rostrum, Commander Ma Benzhai, Commander Zhao Jianmin, and local leading comrades sat on the simple rostrum.

The five squadrons and a cavalry company of the Muslim detachment, the backbone regiment of the original third division, and Han Xing's troops sat neatly on the flat ground under the stage, not moving.

What Han Xing admires the most is the cavalry company of the Muslim detachment, the cavalry team is divided into a white horse team, a red horse team, and a flower horse team. On the side of the war horse stood one by one cavalry warriors, really thin spirit, fat majesty, carrying a horse pistol, and being spirited.

Han Xing knew that raising a cavalry would cost the equivalent of six to seven infantrymen, and in battle, it was a bit outdated, but the deterrence of the enemy army and long-distance maneuver were irreplaceable for infantry.

Right next to the troops, there were men, women, and children of the Hui people, who were full of hope and expectation, looking at this fraternal Hui army, this mighty iron army.

The meeting was presided over by Zhao Jianmin, and Commander Zhao Jianmin said enthusiastically: "Welcome the Huimin detachment to our northwest of Shandong, in the land of our northwest Shandong, with our Liaotang detachment, Yundong brigade, plus the Huimin detachment and our sub-district backbone regiment, as well as countless county and district armed forces and militia joint defense teams, let the little devils in the vast sea of the people's war, not eat well, can't sleep, and spend every day in fear!" ”

It was Commander Ma Benzhai's turn to speak, and he said: "The Jizhong base area has been under great pressure, and the little devils have constantly encircled the iron wall, which has greatly compressed our central base area. However, the soldiers and civilians in our base areas in Jizhong could not be frightened, and wiped their blood in a pool of blood and stood up to wage a resolute struggle against them. Special thanks to the party and the organization for sending our Muslim detachment to northwest Shandong for its activities, which is the great concern of the party and the military region for the Muslim detachment.

We have seen that the severe drought in northwest Shandong for many years, with no harvest of grains, coupled with the frequent sweeps by the Japanese invaders, and the implementation of the three-light policy of killing, burning, and robbing all the light, is really a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, which seriously persecuted the people in northwest Shandong, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is in the most arduous stage. However, we believe that with the party organization, the support of the people, and the unity of the Hui Han people, we will definitely win the war......"

The meeting was in session, and suddenly there were gunshots in the east, and the soldiers were not alarmed by the gunfire, but the people who were in the meeting were a little uncontrollable and seemed a little flustered, some began to run around, and some ran back to their homes, even if they were still in the meeting, they were also absent-minded.

If the bullet hits the front, you can't save your life, and you still have the heart to have a meeting?

At this time, a scout came to report to Ma Benzhai and said: "Report to Commander Ma, Luzhuang Village, which is three miles away from here, has suddenly been attacked by a squadron of devils and a regiment of Liu Xianzhou in Shen County, and the situation is very critical!" ”

At that time, there was only one guard company of Ma Benzhai stationed in Luzhuang Village. A company can deal with an attack by more than ten times the enemy, and the situation is really dangerous.

Ma Benzhai discussed with Zhao Jianmin at that time and said: "The meeting will be suspended for the time being, and we will continue the meeting when I take the cavalry company to drive away the devil and Liu Xianzhou." ”

Zhao Jianmin discussed with him and said: "You are not familiar with the situation when you first arrive, so you will rest first, and our divisional backbone regiment will drive the enemy away." After all, it is a squadron of devils, a regiment of Liu Xianzhou, and the strength of your cavalry company is a little thin after all. ”

Ma Benzhai said decisively: "You don't need your basic regiment, and the main force of the Muslim detachment doesn't need to move, it is enough to have a cavalry company of mine." ”

How could Han Xing take advantage of his anger, and went to Ma Benzhai and Zhao Jianmin to ask for battle and said: "Commander Ma, Commander Zhao, you are all resting, Wu Xiaoming and I are even asking to go and drive the enemy away, without delaying our meeting, please approve the leadership?" ”

Ma Benzhai glanced at Han Xing, and said decisively: "Maybe the little devil and Liu Xianzhou don't know that I'm here, Ma Benzhai is here, it just so happens that our saber hasn't had a sacrificial knife for a long time, so let them try Ma Benzhai's knife skills!" So it was decided, and if we can't do it, you will go up again. ”

Han Xing was still not at ease: "Commander Ma, you are fighting fiercely, but you told us to wait here for a meeting. How can you sit down here!? At the very least, you have to watch the battle, and if you suffer a loss, we can support you in time! ”

But Ma Benzhai still stubbornly said: "I know in my heart what tactics to use to deal with such an enemy, I don't need you to teach you." Don't move, just sit here and wait! ”

After speaking, Ma Benzhai arrived at the stage, turned over his horse, and shouted to the cavalry company: "Cavalry company, follow me to kill the enemy, defeat the enemy, and we will come back for a meeting." Departure—"

Under Ma Benzhai's order, the cavalry company quickly lined up in a marching formation, and then towards the east, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of "get ......" went from strong to weak, from near to far, and disappeared into the distance after a while.

Han Xing was confused, touched his head and said to Zhao Jianmin: "Commander Zhao, I have never seen such a battle before." They went to fight the enemy with one enemy and ten, but told us to wait here for a meeting. This...... This...... I can't sit down here, my heart is about to pop out. ”

Zhao Jianmin was also relieved: "My heart is not steady!" Standing here is also like sitting on pins and needles. ”

"Otherwise, I'll take Wu Xiaoming to support. It's close to the battlefield, so it's reassuring to see it! ”

"That's what I mean, report any situation in a timely manner. We still have a large army, but we can't do it, a big army. ”

"But Commander Zhao, if Commander Ma is to blame, you have to bear some of it for me! Otherwise, I'm afraid that Commander Ma will be angry when he comes back, and he will be suspected of violating military orders? ”

Zhao Jianmin waved his hand to Han Xing and said, "Okay, I'll take it for you." ”

Han Xing received Commander Zhao's order, and then he had the confidence to order Wu Xiaoming loudly: "The fifth company assembles, quickly go to Lüzhuang, and prepare to support Lüzhuang's troops." ”

Wu Xiaoming received the order, and immediately assembled the whole team, followed Han Xing, and ran to Luzhuang. On the way to run, Han Xing pricked up his ears, still listening to Lu Zhuang's gunshots, really worried about Lu Zhuang.

Lu Zhuang is only three miles away from Zhang Luji, and the gunfire is gradually sparse, and I don't know who wins and who loses? Han Xing's heart was in a hurry, urging the troops to move forward quickly.

By the time Han Xing arrived, the gunshots had already spread into the distance, where had the people gone, what was going on? If you want to say that the guards have lost in a row, people, you have to see a figure. If you want to say that the puppet army is defeated, then you have to see it, why is the puppet army gone?

In fact, the position of the guard company in Luzhuang has moved forward, and there is not a single officer and soldier of the Eighth Route in the entire Luzhuang. Han Xing immediately ordered Wu Xiaoming: "Quickly occupy the position of the guard company, and do not act rashly without an order." Let's see how Commander Ma fights first!? ”

Wu Xiaoming quit and said, "I said Commander Han, when has my company seen other people's liveliness!" There's a fierce battle ahead, but we're here to smell the ass. The fighter plane was lost in an instant, and I asked for a sortie to take this opportunity to hit the enemy at once. ”

Han Xing's face turned pale, and Xiong said, "Where is there so much nonsense, obey orders!" ”

Wu Xiaoming was silent, led the company, and quickly occupied the position of the original guard company. Han Xing led Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong, and hurriedly stood on a high place, looking into the distance to see how Ma Benzhai used his troops and how he drove the enemy away so quickly.

In the distance, dusty and horses galloping, Ma Benzhai led a cavalry company, not attacking the enemy, but at a distance of five hundred to a thousand meters from the enemy's troops, detouring towards the enemy's flank, constantly shooting, constantly shouting, creating the illusion of an imminent assault on the enemy's troops.
