The Xibe patriarch Tomo didn't make it to the crowd with great effort, he was too late. For the past few days, Tomo has been busy collecting food and grass for the Volunteers. To this day, although the grain and grass raised is not too abundant, Tomo can't wait.

The Xibe patriarch missed these relatives in his hometown, and he wanted to hear the warriors of those hometown chat in Northeast dialect again, so Tomo came again.

Before he entered Tower City, Tomo heard the news that the Volunteers were leaving. The old patriarch was in a hurry, and led a few young and strong young men into the city and headed in the direction of the barracks of the volunteers. But there are too many people! The old patriarch almost lost his life, but he didn't squeeze in front of the volunteers.

A few young people of the Xibe tribe who came with the old patriarch also let out the sweat of their heads. The old patriarch had met the heroes of his hometown and talked to those heroes, but today was the first time for them. I can't even get into the hero's side, isn't this trip in vain?

A few young people just knew that they were in a hurry, but Old Tomo had an idea: It doesn't matter if you can't squeeze in front of you, let's follow the team of relatives in your hometown! Aren't they going to Dihua? Let's follow them all the way to Dihua, I don't believe that there is no chance to get close along the way! When we go far and there are fewer people, won't we be able to talk?

I haven't seen my hometown for nearly two hundred years, and now I'm finally seeing it once, let alone chasing Dihua, even if I chase the sky, what's it? The old patriarch made up his mind that this time he must catch up with the volunteers and hand over the food he had raised with great difficulty to these relatives in his hometown.

Hu Fei didn't know that there were Xibe villagers outside the crowd with food ready to go with the team, and his mind was now blank. The noisy cheers of the crowds around made people unable to think about things at all, and Hu Fei just instinctively pulled the reins and steered the war horse forward.

The Dalma's dressage is over, and walking with a shelf is actually quite tiring, even a Dalmatian horse with outstanding body cannot walk like that for a long time. You can't run, but it's okay to keep walking at a moderate speed.

Like this kind of out-of-town ceremony, Hu Fei, as the captain of the Einsatzgruppen, was of course at the forefront, and the Spotted Horse followed and became the leader of the horse team. Thanks to their excellent pedigree, the Dalmatian will remain unyielding in front of any good breeder, and the Einsatzgruppen will be willing to let the Spotted be their leader. The team of horses maintained a constant speed and shuttled smoothly through the crowd.

The enthusiastic crowd of people alley from the barracks to the city gates. Although there were still a large number of people outside the city gate, the density was not so high after all. After all, Tacheng is a border area, and the population of the surrounding four counties is not as large as that of a large county in the mainland, so it is already a miracle that Tacheng can gather so many people these days.

The spotted horse carried Hu Fei and all the officers and soldiers of the Einsatzgruppen out of the city gate along the alley. Hu Fei waved his hand at the enthusiastic crowd around him, knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and the war horse shook his head and began to trot. The Einsatzgruppen fighters in the back followed suit and lifted their horses up. You don't have to run fast, as long as you don't walk so slowly.

The Einsatzgruppen rode towards Dihua, always followed by a convoy along the way. After walking for a while, Hu Fei simply stopped, wanting to see who was following him. When the people behind walked in, Hu Fei also recognized it, the old patriarch of Xibe, Tomo!

The old man was so old and rode a horse to follow. What do you say you can't say hello to? Where did I follow you? Do you also go to Dihua? Hu Fei looked at the old man Tomo who was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Uncle Tomo, where are you going?"

"Captain Hu, a few days ago I said that I would send you food, and today I will bring all the food here. Why are you leaving? Hehe, fortunately, my old man was in time, and I really can't find you in the middle of the night! Come on, Captain Hu, let's inspect the grain. ”

As soon as Patriarch Tomo's voice fell, more than a dozen carts came behind the old man, and the carriages were full of sacks of grain. The army has the rules of the army, even if something is kindly sent, it must be checked for grade and quantity, and it can only be counted as military rations for the army after it is clearly registered. Since the old man regarded himself as a regular army, of course Hu Fei would not smash the signboard by himself.

This kind of grain inspection work is the work of Chief of Staff Liu Dong. Liu Dong worked under Hu Fei, in addition to doing his job as chief of staff, he also had to concurrently serve as the quartermaster chief, the logistics chief, and the interior minister, as if all the operational staff officers, logistics supplies, and army internal affairs were all in his own hands.

The test results showed a total of 13,000 catties of rice and white flour! This is amazing, a patriarch can get together more than 10,000 catties of grain, how much effort does he have to spend? How much does it cost?

Hu Fei was only halfway through his words of gratitude, and the old man raised his hand to interrupt him, "The family doesn't talk about two families. Needless to say, there is no need to say any kind of nonsense such as thanks. Captain Hu, brothers, the old man's name is Tomo, and he is the patriarch of the Xibe tribe! Our Xibe ancestors have been from the Northeast for generations! I am happy when I see you Northeast folks! ”

"Children, the Xibe are your relatives! You are going to the mainland to fight devils, you must be careful, don't lose face to our Northeast people! During this time in Xinjiang, if there is anything difficult, just come to the Xibe people, every Xibe person is your relatives! ”

After the grain was handed over, Old Tomo led a young man to Hu Fei, "Captain Hu, this is my little grandson Tuosang." I want Tosang to join our volunteer army, and if you want the Xibe to do anything before you go to the mainland, just leave it to Tosang. ”

"Tosang, this is Captain Hu of the Volunteer Army, a fellow countryman in our northeast. You follow Captain Hu to work hard, go to the battlefield to kill more Japanese devils, and let the people of the whole country see the majesty of our Xibe warriors! ”

The old man not only loosens the grain, but also gives it away! The grandson of the Xibe patriarch, that is, the young patriarch of the Xibe tribe, is it appropriate to let such a person join his special team? Hu Fei was a little hesitant.

"Captain Hu, my name is Tosang! Just treat me like an ordinary soldier. I can ride horses, I can shoot guns, I have my own horses, you don't have to worry about me! ”

Tosang thought Hu Fei was worried about his equestrianism. Regarding equestrianism, Tosang was confident that he would not be worse than any cavalry behind Hu Fei! As for shooting, he was not so arrogant that he thought he would be better than those veteran ruffians who had fought on the battlefield for many years.

Can ride a horse? Can shoot? Do you still have a horse and a gun? Can such a person refuse? Hu Fei agreed to let Tosang join the team! Not only that, Hu Fei also kept Tosang by his side as the captain of the guard squad of the brigade headquarters. Wait until you have time to teach him marksmanship and equestrianism, as for now, let's go to Dihua first!

After Tomo explained a series of precautions to his grandson, he turned around and led the people back to the Xibe station. Hu Fei led the special forces to Dihua.

On this day, more than 100 cavalrymen of the Einsatzgruppen led by Hu Fei, the vanguard of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, finally arrived outside the east gate of Dihua. Hu Fei checked the date, it was March 20, the 22nd year of the Republic of China.
