When Li Sanyi came, he had an eyebrow about the contact between the local armed forces and the Eighth Route Army. It turned out that a few of the local armed forces that Hu Fei had incorporated today had contact with the Eighth Route Army.

One of them, Ma Dabang, was beheaded when he was interviewed by Hu Fei! That Ma Dabang is the leader of a small group of bandits on Heng Mountain, and he has done a lot of bad things about robbery and murder!

Of course, these are nothing, what bandit hasn't done anything bad about killing people and stealing goods? As long as he can join the national army in the future, the prodigal son can be forgiven. However, this Ma Dabang, who does not know the current affairs, actually chose to refuse in person when faced with Hu Fei's invitation to join!

The result can be imagined, Hu Fei was angry and directly sentenced Ma Dabang to death! Hu Fei didn't know at the time that the reason why Ma Dabang refused to join the national army was because he had already promised the Eighth Route Army! Now I know that it's too late, what's the use of letting people kill and talk about it?

"Ma Dabang has done a lot of evil, so kill it, but what about the seventy or eighty bandits under him? Should those people, Captain Hu, return to us the Eighth Route Army? "Before he came, Wang Dong knew that Ma Dabang had been killed. Even if this kind of person joins the Eighth Route Army, he will only discredit the revolutionary ranks, and Commissar Wang is here to keep the dozens of bandits.

"Uh, hehe, I'm sorry Commissar Wang. The bandits of the Ma Dabang gang were broken up by me this afternoon and divided into various units, and it is not easy to pick out these people now. Regarding the request of the Eighth Route Army, Hu Fei politely refused. What are you kidding, how can you spit out the meat in your mouth?

In addition to Ma Dabang, Hu Fei, another wave of local armed forces who had contact with the Eighth Route Army, also did not plan to hand it over. As a result, the negotiations between the two sides can be regarded as an impasse.

The mouth of a cannibal is short, and the hand that takes a person is soft. Political Commissar Wang and Section Chief Guan had only accepted Hu Fei's hospitality, and they were embarrassed even if they wanted to turn their faces. Let's go, it's not done; If you don't go, it's useless to stay here, and the two of you will be a little dilemma.

At this time, Chief of Staff Liu Dong came back from the headquarters to receive equipment. Hu Fei's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Dong, there is a solution this time!

"The Chief of Staff is back. Come, let me introduce to you, this is Wang Dongwang, the captain of the Eighth Route Army's military engineering team, and this is the Guan section chief of the enemy engineering section of the military engineering team. ”

After listening to Hu Fei's enthusiastic introduction, Liu Dong was stunned. Hu Fei may not pay attention to the years of grievances and entanglements between the two parties, but as Liu Dong, it is impossible for him not to know. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are now cooperating to resist Japan, who knows what will happen in the future? Will Hu Fei's private contact with the people over there arouse suspicion and disgust among some people?

Although Liu Dong had a lot of worries in his heart, he still did a good job on the surface. After a little pause, Chief of Staff Liu immediately warmly shook hands with the two cadres of the Eighth Route Army and greeted each other.

"Chief of Staff, you go and pick up a hundred rifles, ten thousand rounds of ammunition, plus five light machine guns, and two grenadiers. This is our weapon and equipment to support friendly forces, we must pick it up! ”

"Political Commissar Wang, you don't have to excuse yourself, I know that it is not easy for your army to get some weapons. Although I am not rich here, I still have a place to receive it. There are good things that everyone can do together, they are all anti-Japanese devils, we don't distinguish each other! ”

"Yes!" Liu Dong saluted, greeted the two Eighth Route Army cadres again, and turned around to go out to prepare weapons.

"Oops, what's so embarrassing?" Political Commissar Wang of the Wugong Team rubbed his hands excitedly.

The Eighth Route Army could not be replenished from the Nationalist Government, and Yan Xishan, as the commander of the theater of operations, also did not give them any decent weapons and baggage. In addition to the guns and ammunition used by the soldiers captured from the enemy, they were produced by their own arsenals, and the quality could not be compared with those produced by regular manufacturers.

This is still the case with the regular troops, not to mention the armed engineering corps. Therefore, don't look at the things given by Hu Fei, which is not much, but it is exactly what the current martial arts team and even the main force of the Eighth Route Army urgently need! In terms of its importance, it is far more than even a few hundred bandits! If there are fewer people, you can recruit them at any time, and weapons with excellent performance are not so easy to get!

When Liu Dong led people to carry dozens of large wooden boxes into the courtyard, opened the lid of the box, and revealed the brand-new Chinese formal rifle inside, Political Commissar Wang and Section Chief Guan were so excited that their faces turned red.

Wang Dong picked up a rifle with his own hands in the past, and he didn't care that there was still gun oil stuck to the new gun, so he was busy raising the gun to aim. He pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger, and looked at the barrel for a long time, before reluctantly putting the gun back in the box.

"Captain Hu, we have received your kindness!" Political Commissar Wang and Section Chief Guan stood side by side, and gave Hu Fei a military salute to express their gratitude. Hu Fei naturally exchanged it as a courtesy. Although Hu Fei and the Eighth Route Army can't be said to be very close, at least they have formed a good fate. In the future, whether it is to cooperate with the war or smuggle contraband or something, this is a start.

The martial arts team did not come with Wang Dong and Section Chief Guan, and there were more than 20 members of the martial arts team outside Hu Fei's military camp who did not follow up.

Now that he has the baby, Section Chief Guan went outside and brought these two dozen people in. The people of the martial arts team were all strong laborers, and Hu Fei prepared a flat pole and two ropes for each of them, and these people quickly disappeared into the night with these weapons and ammunition boxes.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Hu Fei gathered his troops and went to Pingxingguan!

There is Heng Mountain like a barrier in the north of Pingxing Guan, and there is Wutai Mountain in the south towering majestically, and the elevation of the two famous mountains is more than 1500 meters. Sandwiched between two high mountains is a valley, and Pingxingguan is in this valley, since the construction of this Xiongguan in the Ming Zhengde period, it has been the most convenient passage between the Hebei Plain and Shanxi, a major coal province.

Now that the Japanese have occupied Pingjin, they will next go through Guò Pingxing Pass to grab the coal resources of Shanxi Province. With Shanxi's coal, the devils can continue to wage wars of aggression. Therefore, the Battle of Pingxingguan had already established its important strategic position from the time he began to brew.

China and Japan did not hesitate to invest heavily in this regard. One side had to defend and the other side had to attack, and the armies of the two countries staged a bloody and fiery clash in this ancient city.

Hu Fei didn't have much strangeness in the terrain, he picked fifty guides from the recruits he had only recruited yesterday, and each main platoon could get one on average. With these local snakes leading the way, Hu Fei's cavalry brigade not only did not take a detour, but they were even able to take a shortcut.

Just like now, the official road is obviously leading straight forward, but the guide led the team to the direction of the dirt slope on the left.

"Xingkui, where does this road lead?" Hu Fei asked Liu Xingkui beside him.

Although Liu Xingkui is now the deputy platoon commander of the official residence, Hu Fei wants him to be a guide, so he has to be an honest guide.
