Chapter 55: The Major General Comes to Drink
"Mayor Zhao, what do you mean by poor Kou Mo chasing? Captain Aso's decision was absolutely correct! For this gang of bandits, they should be completely eliminated! You are a civilian official, and you don't understand military matters. Aso, I'll lead the pursuit of my troops, please let the imperial army cooperate with me! ”
The puppet army officer on the other side stalked his neck and talked against Mayor Zhao, and his eyes observed Aso Kintaro and Zhao Zhiqiang at the same time when he spoke. With the words of high fighting spirit in his mouth, the soles of his feet stood there steadily and did not move a single step.
"Yo Xi, both of you have a point. However, the volunteers opposite us have already been defeated. Look, our enemy retreated without even a basic covering force, let alone the formation that an army should maintain at all times. In my judgment, these people are simply a bunch of Wuhe! Captain Gu, lead your troops to catch up and destroy them! ”
"Hey!" Gu Zhaoxiang, the captain of the puppet army who led reinforcements to reinforce Niuzhuang, agreed loudly, turned his head and glared at Zhao Zhiqiang contemptuously, as if he was very unaccustomed to Mayor Zhao's timidity. "Brothers, follow me and kill all these bandits!"
Originally, he was just playing tricks, wanting to show that he was braver than the cowardly Mayor Zhao, but he didn't expect the devil to take it seriously. The words have already arrived here, Gu Zhaoxiang can't even chase if he doesn't want to, this guy has boldly encouraged himself, and chased down with the puppet army.
Of course, chasing is chasing, Gu Zhaoxiang definitely can't rush to the front, he ran forward behind the puppet army in the protection of a group of cronies. Captain Gu still attaches great importance to his own safety.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhaoxiang's approach was appreciated by Aso Kintaro, "Yo Xi, this is where a qualified commander should stand." Mayor Zhao, let's wait here for the news of Captain Gu's victory. ”
Zhao Zhiqiang is not like an ordinary traitor, he just nodded and found a place to sit and rest. Not to mention, it was his lukewarm attitude that won the respect of the Japanese, Aso Kintaro not only did not blame him for his rudeness, but also ordered the devil orderlies next to him to bring a kettle to Mayor Zhao.
Gu Zhaoxiang led the people to chase them to the edge of the town and didn't chase them forward, the volunteers ran everywhere, and he didn't know which direction to chase them. Split the team and chase it separately, he didn't dare to do it, he was afraid that the team would be ambushed after they dispersed.
"Shoot!" With Gu Zhaoxiang's order, the puppet soldiers fired their guns in unison, and the muzzles of the guns were basically forty-five degrees upward. It's not so much a shot as a shot. Hu Fei and his volunteers left Niuzhuang in the farewell of the devils.
When the team gathered in a place far away from Niuzhuang, Hu Fei's heart was like falling a stone, before he came, his ninth brigade had more than 500 people, and now there were more than 300 people left in the first gathering. In this battle alone, more than 200 people were lost! The only thing to be thankful for is that among the generals, except for Li San, who was seriously injured, the others were at most scratched a little skin.
Although I feel that it is quite faceless to go back after defeat, it is obvious that the lives and safety of the soldiers are more important than face. Especially Li San, who was seriously injured by blocking the shells for himself, Hu Fei must bring people back to Shaling for treatment as soon as possible!
Without saying anything all the way, Hu Fei returned to the base area of Shaling with the defeated army. The three commanders led by Zhang Haitian not only did not blame, but also comforted Hu Fei, saying that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so that Hu Fei should not take it too seriously. There were doctors in Shaling, and as long as Li San and those wounded officers and soldiers could return to Shaling alive, they all received the best treatment.
After knowing that Li San's life was not in danger, Hu Fei's brain turned in circles. Although no one blames him for losing the battle this time, those 200 lives are gone for no reason, and the biggest setback he has suffered since his debut has made him unable to let go for a long time. Hu Fei still hasn't figured out which people came to reinforce Niuzhuang at the last moment.
Although he vaguely knew that it was the puppet army, who were the commanders of these puppet armies? How many people are there? How did they come to Cowfarm? Was it an occasional passer-by, or was it a special rescue when the Niuzhuang was attacked? This time the battle of Niuzhuang did not take more than half a day from the beginning of the first grab to the exit of Niuzhuang, Hu Fei didn't believe that reinforcements could come so quickly!
Two days later, Hu Fei summoned Sun Laoliu and Feng Quan and several other major generals together and invited everyone to drink. At the wine table, Hu Fei said his thoughts, he wants to enter the cattle village again! He couldn't sleep if he didn't understand these questions. If you lose the battle, you will lose it, and now you don't even know who you are defeating, isn't that a joke!
"Brother Fei, I'll go with you this time!" Before anyone else could interject, Sun Lao Liu answered first. If you want to say who is closest to Hu Fei in this team, it must be Sun Lao Liu, who met Hu Fei halfway up to Wanghai Mountain. has never given up, before and after the saddle to the present, the relationship is naturally incomparable.
"I'm going with Fei Ge too!" As soon as Sun Laoliu's words fell, Feng Quan immediately spoke.
Now these two people are the most important among these people, and it is not at all that they say that they are his right-hand men. Now that these two top generals are going to follow, Hu Feike is a little in a dilemma.
"Sixth, Feng Quan, of course it's best for the two of you to go with me. But the loss of our fight against Niuzhuang this time is too great, and the troops must recruit troops as soon as possible to replenish their vitality. If you both go with me, who will greet us in this troop? ”
"I'll greet you!" A loud voice suddenly came from the door, Hu Fei was taken aback, looked up and found that it was a tall young man who came in. I saw this person with two thick eyebrows and a pair of tiger eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and two small black mustaches on the upper lip. The person who came was Zhang Binglin, the eldest son of Zhang Haitian, commander of the Second Route Army of the Volunteer Army.
Seeing that it was the eldest son, Hu Fei hurriedly got up, and the group of people present also stood up. The greetings of "Young Master", "Young General" and "Division Commander Zhang" were endless. Zhang Binglin waved his hand and agreed with a smile.
"Hu Fei is in for a treat? I'm just like that, and I'm just in time for now. How about it, welcome me as an uninvited guest? As he spoke, he pulled up a chair and sat there first. Picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of meat in his mouth, clicked and chewed twice, and then picked up a wine glass that I didn't know who it was, poured a glass of wine, and drank it with a "snort".
"Young General, if you want to eat, I'll let you add another pair of dishes and chopsticks." Come on, who is it, Jin Biao, go and get a wine glass for the young general with a pair of chopsticks. ”
Ji Jinbiao, the leopard in the mountains, agreed, got up and went to find the cutlery.
"What are you doing with that? I'm just going to take two sips and leave. Hey, by the way, Hu Fei, I heard at the door just now that you were going to Niuzhuang again, and I was worried that no one would take the team, right? Leave it to me! We are all old brothers of Wanghaishan, who will I help if I don't help you? Don't worry, the troops will be handed over to me during the time you go to Niuzhuang! When you come back, it's guaranteed to be better than it is now! ”
