CHAPTER XXI

"Captain Hu, since you are leading your troops to join our army, the number of this independent brigade of the Northeast Volunteer Army can no longer be used."

Although some people say that Fu Zuoyi's troops are the Jin Sui Army, they have long hung the blue sky and white sun flag, and the state has issued military uniforms and salaries, and they are the national army recognized by the government! Although the Northeast Volunteers are well-known, they are a civilian armed force that is not recognized by the government.

Fu Zuoyi is a second-level general appointed by the Military Commission, and every unit under his command is a regular army with an official number. That is, accept the adaptation.

"The last general is up to General Fu!" Hu Fei understands that if you come to seek refuge with others, you have to be managed by others! Anyway, from now on, he will be considered an official national army! Fu Zuoyi, do whatever you want! Hu Fei was ready to be a soldier in the Jin Sui army.

Hu Fei is ready, but Fu Zuoyi is not ready! For this extremely suspicious predecessor of the troops led by Hu Fei, General Fu had no intention of disrupting them into the various units of the Jin Sui Army at all! He was afraid that Hu Fei's gang would bring Jin Suijun badly!

"Captain Hu, since you used to be the captain of the independent brigade of the Northeast Volunteer Army, then I will now appoint you as the captain of the independent cavalry brigade of the 35th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and your independent brigade of the Volunteer Army will be changed to the independent cavalry brigade of the 35th Army! You lead your troops to rest here for two days to replenish the grain and grass. Two days later, he led his troops to garrison near Honggertu in the northeast! ”

In a word, General Fu's number, provisions, and garrison were all solved! A general is a general who has the courage of a general, works cleanly and neatly, and never drags mud and water!

In order to show his respect for General Fu, Hu Fei gave Fu Zuoyi a military salute, "Thank you for your support!" ”

As soon as this half-literate and half-white sentence came out, it was obvious that the corners of Fu Zuoyi's mouth trembled twice, maybe he wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, right?

Anyway, today's meeting between the two of them is relatively complete. General Fu led his troops back to the city, and Hu Fei set up a simple camp tent in the same place and waited to receive supplies. General Fu was talking, and early the next morning, a quartermaster came out of the city with several carts.

Brand new uniforms, boxes of ammunition, food for men, forage for horses, and heavy baggage for a cavalry unit were all available. After signing the material receipt form, these things are considered Hu Fei's!

As soon as the quartermaster left, Hu Fei ordered the camp to be raised, and he was going to lead the independent cavalry brigade under his command to the new garrison Honggertu!

Honggeltu is said to be a town, but it is actually a village, at most it is a large village larger than the average village. The village is surrounded by wasteland meadows. There was a garrison in Honggertu, and more than 200 cavalry of the Jin Sui army were stationed here. As soon as Hu Fei came with five hundred cavalry, it was equivalent to the fact that the garrison of Honggertu became dominated by him!

The cavalry of the Jin Sui Army stationed in Honggertu had two and a half companies, plus half a machine gun company, and the highest commander of the garrison was a thirty-year-old young officer named Shen Han.

It is now the ninth lunar month of the 25th year of the Republic of China, and the end of October of the solar calendar. The weather in Suibei is already very cold, and it is estimated that it may snow within ten days and half a month. In August, the Japanese puppet army once invaded Honggertu, but was repelled by the Jin Sui army. Most of the battalion led by Shen Han was to prevent the Japanese puppet army from attacking Honggertu again.

The first thing Hu Fei saw after he came was a scene of labor, hundreds of people digging trenches around the village with their sleeves and hoes! Are they going to defend the village and turn the small village into a fighting fortress?

Hu Fei brought 500 men and horses at once, and stood next to the village of Honggertu, looking as if the village could not accommodate them. Of course, Hu Fei will not lead the troops to the village, and living in the village will not affect the lives of the villagers!

The battalion commander Shen Han came directly with two guards. The common name from afar, came to the front and saluted. Battalion Commander Shen didn't have much nonsense, and directly told Hu Fei: Since you are here with a large army, the defense task in the village will be handed over to you, and I will make room for you!

Shen Han can see clearly, he only has more than 200 people here, and the new cavalry brigade has 500 people, isn't it obvious who is the master and who is the deputy! Since General Fu can send such a force, it is not obvious that he is going to change his guard.

"Camp Commander Shen is too worried!" Hu Fei waved his hand and directly interrupted Shen Han's continued words, "The garrison of Honggertu is you, it was you before, and it will be you in the future!" Don't think I'm here to rob you of your station, no! General Fu just asked me to garrison near Honggertu, he didn't say that my cavalry brigade would take over your defense area! ”

Hu Fei has just arrived, and he doesn't want to grab the master and others to grab the territory. Of course, if the garrison here had a tough attitude, Hu Fei wouldn't mind the dove occupying the magpie's nest for a while. Now that they have taken the initiative, he is embarrassed. This is the habit that was developed when the beard period was formed, eating soft and not hard!

Shen Han resigned again and stopped refusing, and again and again and again Since Hu Fei is reluctant to stay in the village, then you can find a random place near this village, where you want to live for dozens or hundreds of miles around!

As for camping, Hu Fei is still relatively researched, he has read military books and fought wars. He chose a place not far from the village and set up camp, and began his career as a garrison. Every day, he would practice military drills, and sometimes he would go to the village to discuss the military situation with Shen Han, or propose some specific construction of trenches, and he lived a good life.

In November, Wang Ying's Han rebel army began to assemble in the southeastern Shang capital. The defenders of Honggertu began to intensify the placement of fortifications. According to Hu Fei's temper, he is not a person who can defend the trenches, and if he can build the military camp strong, it can be regarded as his patience.

A large number of Japanese puppet troops gathered in the mall, and the battle clouds of Honggertu were dense, and a big battle seemed to start at any time. Shen Han, as an officer of the defending army, immediately telegraphed the situation to Shangfeng, and within two days, Peng Yubin, the commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade, personally came to Honggertu.

Brigade Commander Peng inspected the defense affairs, cordially received Hu Fei and Shen Han, and praised Honggertu's trench around the village. Finally, after replenishing a batch of weapons and ammunition to the defenders of Honggertu, Brigade Commander Peng told the two front-line defenders that he, Peng Yubin, would serve as the commander of the enemy before the battle of Honggertu!

Of course, he, the former enemy commander, was not in the village, let alone in the trenches, and Brigade Commander Peng was with his cavalry brigade. In the final analysis, the heavy responsibility of defending Honggertu still fell on Shen Han and his more than 200 defenders.
