Chapter 11 Fighting and Plotting
"Damn!" At the headquarters of the 17th Army Corps, the corps commander Hu Zongnan slapped the table violently, and the water cup on the table collapsed. The water flowed down the table, and the few copies of the text on the table were also wet. The orderly hurriedly ran over to wipe it.
"Order: Cao Rihui led the Second Brigade of the First Division to immediately enter the mountains to suppress the bandits! The target, the bandits of Feiyunling's new gathering of Xiaoxiao. In the name of the Independent Cavalry Brigade of the National Army, this bandit has always attacked the units of the National Army, tarnished the reputation of the party-state, and harmed the people in the area under its jurisdiction. This time, we must capture the bandit leader Hu Fei alive! ”
"Yes!"
As soon as Commander Hu gave the order, the army immediately set out. Cao Rihui, the commander of the first phase of the Huangpu Major General Brigade, led 6,000 people from the Second Brigade of the First Division to pull the cannons and slaughter the Dabie Mountain!
The movement of thousands of elite national troops entering the mountains to suppress bandits was not small, and all the well-known bandits and thieves from far and near were alarmed. There are no more bandits now than they used to be. In the past, there were many cottages, and there were dozens of cottages with more than 1,000 people in Dabie Mountain, but now hundreds of people are rare. Most of them are robbery gangs of dozens or dozen people, claiming to be such and such a cottage.
Don't look at the small scale of the bandits, the eyeliner is handy. As soon as Brigade Commander Cao's troops left the barracks, they knew it on the hill over there!
Some of them were bold, knowing that the enemy could not do it, so they led their minions in advance to take pots and pans and run away directly, and went elsewhere to continue to do evil; After knowing the news that thousands of national troops were carrying artillery to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, they simply disbanded the cottage and dismissed the minions. The bandits stopped, and they continued to go into the city to become hooligans.
It can be said that as soon as the news of Cao Rihui leading the First Division and the First Brigade into the mountains to suppress bandits came out, it was like a hurricane blowing in Jigong Mountain and Dabie Mountain. Almost overnight, the bandits in the mountains ran a third and disbanded two-thirds. Before Brigade Commander Cao led his troops into the mountains, there were no bandits in the mountains. The public security environment in Dabie Mountain has been greatly improved!
What about Hu Fei? Of course, Hu Fei also got the news. The first brigade of the first division of the national army is going to enter the mountains to suppress such an important news, how could he not know about it when the whole Dabie Mountain knows? Although Hu Fei is an outsider, he is not a serious gang in the mountains, but Yuan Fang is a local. Yuan Fang grew up in Feiyunling, don't look young, but the working experience of being a bandit is much longer than that of some adults!
Yuan Fang has a way, otherwise who would he ask for news of Jin Feilong. It can be said that he got the information earlier than most of the small gangs in the mountains! Yuan Fang knew that this was a big deal, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran up to Feiyunling to report to Hu Fei as soon as possible.
Hu Fei frowned when he heard this, why did I come to Feiyunling and Hu Zongnan sent someone to suppress the bandits? What kind of bandit did he suppress? Aren't you here to kill me? It's no wonder that Hu Fei is sensitive, he used to be engaged in bandit work, and what he did was a profession that was against the government, and he felt awkward when he heard the word banditry.
Whether it's against yourself or not, in this environment, even if you pull the troops down the mountain and loudly announce that you are a national soldier, you have to believe it! Don't look at Feiyunling, which now occupies a dangerous terrain, Hu Fei also knows that his cavalry brigade is definitely not the opponent of the Second Brigade of the First Division! If people want to take Feiyun Village, it is as easy as a snap!
Cao Rihui came with troops, not so much to fight as to show off his strength! He just wants to sweep away the Dabie Mountain without blood! Attack the army, then attack, then attack, then attack the city. As a first-term student of Huangpu, Cao Rihui is very familiar with these words of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he used Sun Tzu's Art of War to fight the bandits this time!
If a unit like the First Army wants to send troops to fight, how can it be that it will cause the world to storm the world without moving? Although the national army's sense of secrecy is not strong, it is not so careless. Cao Rihui wanted to rely on the might of the first division to disintegrate the opponent. Now, it seems, he succeeded!
Brigade Commander Cao led a large group of men and horses to inspect the Dabie Mountains for a week, but found nothing. Every time he went to a cottage, it was empty. Of course he also went to Feiyun Village, and it is said that Hu Fei settled in Feiyun Village. After that, there are obvious traces of human life in Feiyun Village, but there is no one.
Cao Rihui was not depressed, but proudly returned to the barracks with a large army! It didn't cost a single shot, it only took a propaganda offensive, and the enemy fled without a fight, isn't this a victory or something? After going back, Hu Zongnan was naturally overjoyed, reported to the Military Commission, and asked the officers and soldiers participating in the battle to collectively ask for third-class merit!
Hu Fei left three hours before Cao Rihui arrived at Feiyun Village. The reorganization has also been completed, Jin Feilong has not been found, and if you want to absorb the bandits, you can't find a large-scale bandit, so it can be said that there will be no big things to do on Dabie Mountain in the short term. It's time to leave.
Coming down from Dabie Mountain, Hu Fei led his troops to the west. He left the Yellow Flood Area and went south, the first was to come to Dabie Mountain to find Jin Feilong, and the second was to see Zhang Yayi, who was beautiful and strong in martial arts. Jin Feilong didn't find it, and Hu Fei didn't know where to find Zhang Yayi.
At that time, there was neither a mobile phone nor an Internet, and it was difficult to find someone. Zhang Yayi is not famous, her teacher Sun Cunzhou is well-known in the Chinese martial arts world.
Hu Fei had heard Zhang Yayi mention before that Sun Cun Zhou had served as the head of the Wudang Gate in the Central Guoshu Museum, so presumably the Wudang faction should know Sun Cun Zhou's whereabouts, right? If you find Sun Cunzhou, won't you be able to find Zhang Yayi? In addition, Hu Fei really wanted to meet Sun Cunzhou again.
Master Sun's art industry is shocking, every time he meets Sun Cunzhou, Hu Fei can learn a little bit from others. He really wanted to have the opportunity to practice martial arts with Sun Cunzhou for a few more days.
Hu Fei had never been to the Wudang faction, but he inquired about where Wudang Mountain was. All the way to the west, the territory of Junxian County, Hubei Province is Wudang Mountain. In addition, after the Battle of Xuzhou, the Fifth Theater Command has been transferred to Laohekou, which is close to Junxian.
Hu Fei led his troops to the west, and the more he walked, the more national troops he encountered, and sometimes he could even encounter a large army marching with no end in sight. Mixed with the many national army units, the cavalry brigade is as inconspicuous as a drop of water in the sea. However, this is exactly what Hu Fei wants.
From time to time, there were passing officers and soldiers greeting each other, and the officers and men of the cavalry brigade also chatted enthusiastically with friendly troops. Most of the passing troops were on foot, and the baggage was mainly carried by animal-powered vehicles, and only a very small number of cars were used.
During the Anti-Japanese War, China was still an oil-poor country without oil, and all domestic gasoline and diesel used in motor vehicles had to rely on imports. At that time, gasoline was definitely in short supply, not only expensive, but also difficult to buy. The baggage supplies of the cavalry brigade were also pulled by dozens of carts.
Slowly entering the territory of Junxian, there are more and more national army troops on the road.
