Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the winter in the north seems very quiet and safe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe snow in the sky makes people and things living in this environment less willing to move in this weather.

And the people who have lived in the north for a long time are accustomed to the so-called cat winter in this season. Most of them rarely go out if nothing happens. Like some animals that hide underground or in caves, wait for the coming spring.

It's just that compared with the people living in Yulin, in addition to participating in some military training and taking on some troop tasks in winter, there are not many things they can do every day, and although their lives are peaceful but safe.

But the people who live near the border, even in this season, they still seem worried. When night falls, they look nervous and listen carefully to every move around them.

Even if the cold wind is howling outside, they will also seem more worried. Because on a winter night on the border, in addition to the wolves that may appear to feed, there are also a group of creatures that are more brutal than the wolves.

This creature is naturally armed with horse bandits who roam the border and survive by robbing houses. When they encounter a pack of wolves, they can still drive them away and shoot them, and if they don't do well, they will lose some livestock, at least there is a good chance that they will be spared.

But if you encounter horse bandits, the people living on the border know that it is basically a life of death. And in this kind of weather, even if you can escape outside, I'm afraid that the chance of survival is not very good!

It's just that the people in the fertile field are a little relieved. At night, most of the patrols of the Eighth Route Army, which were originally patrolling the perimeter during the day, would look for nearby settlements to stay.

Looking at these cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army wearing white cloaks, riding horses and holding guns, and the herdsmen who migrated to Maodong in the fertile field, they also looked very enthusiastic. They all knew that these people were here to protect them.

In particular, these Eighth Route Army patrolmen who stayed overnight in residential areas often chose houses closer to the village to live. The people living in the settlements are rarely disturbed, and they leave after dawn during the day.

Several people in residential areas located relatively far away from the city looked at the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army who lived in temporary settlements tonight, and they were somewhat surprised. The reason is that these people look somewhat unfamiliar.

It can even be said that the Eighth Route Army, which lived in temporary resettlement sites, looked more regular than the usual Eighth Route Army. The equipment carried by each cavalry is also much more complete and generous than that of the Eighth Route Army in the past.

Some people who are familiar with the person in charge of the temporary settlement will also say curiously: "Captain Wang, I see that the army that came to live in the village tonight seems to be a little different from before!" Is something wrong? ”

In the face of these people's inquiries, the militia captain who is responsible for the security and protection of the village will also say in a timely manner: "You should inquire less about the affairs of the troops." Rest assured, they will go outside on patrol during the day, as before.

As you all know, it's almost the Chinese New Year. Those damn horse bandits will definitely come out during the Chinese New Year. We are relatively close to that side, and the troops are afraid that something will happen, so we have sent some additional troops over. ”

After a brief introduction, the militia captain also reported to the commanders of the units stationed in the resettlement sites. In fact, for these cavalrymen who were not garrison regiments, militia captains who had previously been in the regular army, knew what kind of unit this was!

The elite cavalry of the cavalry division began to be stationed in these temporary settlements in batches at this time, which undoubtedly shows that the troops have made some major moves. But in this kind of matter, the militia captain also knows to enforce the discipline of secrecy.

However, many people do not know that there are not many main troops actually stationed in the temporary resettlement sites. On the periphery of these temporary settlements, there were also quite a few cavalry camping and lodging in the wilderness, which could be regarded as an additional insurance measure for the resettlement sites.

If the horse bandits wanted to attack the settlement, they would definitely not escape the vigilance of these cavalrymen camping in the wilderness. As long as there is a situation, the cavalry in charge of vigilance will also notify the cavalry at the settlement point to prepare for battle as soon as possible!

When the Eighth Route Army is fully prepared, it will wait for the arrival of the horse bandits. The army of horse bandits, who were also fully armed, also came straight to the territory of Fertile Fields like a black whirlwind. Just for the sake of secrecy, they also chose to enter the fertile field at night.

The reason is very simple, according to the news from the spies they arranged in the fertile field. The Fertile Field Garrison Regiment arranged a lot of patrols in the territory of Fertile Field during the day. If the operation is carried out during the day, their action goals will also be revealed in advance.

Arriving at the Wo River, many horse bandits also began to assemble one after another. With so many horse bandits, it is impossible to attack just one target. In their view, harassment is the key to the success of the raid.

Several of the more famous horse bandits in Crouching Tiger Mountain were armed and eventually met by the Wo River. After some quarrels, it was quickly determined that the direction and village that each bandit was responsible for. And the small group of horse bandits also have to bear the risk of temptation.

After the division of labor was clear, the mountain tiger in the name of Crouching Tiger said very sternly: "What we do is a head-killing business, and you should all know what attitude the Eight Roads have towards us." I'm about to act, and I don't want to see someone stab in the back.

When everyone comes out to do business together, then they must huddle together to keep warm. Only in this way can we survive in this troubled world, make a lot of money, and eat meat and drink a lot. Whoever dares to mess around, don't use Lao Tzu's knife to deny people! ”

As the leader of Crouching Tiger Village, who has thousands of horse bandits and even mortars, the mountain tiger is undoubtedly the oldest and undoubtedly the strongest horse bandit arm. There are really not many people who dare not listen to his words.

The horse bandits who set up the cottage in Wohu Mountain even knew that this mountain tiger had a lot to do with the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia. It's really annoying the sitting tiger, and it's really possible that you won't be able to get along in Crouching Tiger Mountain.

After some warnings, the mountain tiger didn't say anything more, and watched thousands of horse bandits cross the river. And on this side of the river, there were also several thousand horse bandits, who began to organize their horse harnesses, intending to separate from the large army here.

This time, nearly 10,000 horse bandits came down from Crouching Tiger Mountain, and such a force should indeed not be underestimated. It's just that if you want to use all this horse bandits for your own use, you don't have the ability to ask yourself.

After all, the horse bandit who dared to fall into the grass these days, which is a good discipline character?

If it weren't for the large number of horse bandits under his command and the best equipment, it is estimated that he would not be able to sit in the position of temporary alliance leader. It's just that in the eyes of the mountain tiger, he always felt that something was wrong with this time he entered the fertile field to plunder.

Walking on the verge of life and death all year round, the mountain tiger trusts his instincts for danger at times and on a whim. It's just that he has already arrived here, even if he doesn't want to go over, he must take someone to take a walk around the fertile field.

The reason is very simple, this time I came to Woye to rob, in addition to the decision of the cottages in Wohu Mountain, there is also the opinion of Ma Jiajun in Ningxia. Every year when horse bandits cross the border to attack, the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia will intervene to pick up the bargain.

If he dares not to lead the team down the mountain, then he will lose points with Ma Jiajun. In this way, his Crouching Tiger Village wants to sit firmly in the position of the first horse bandit cottage, but I am afraid that it is really unlikely.

At least the mountain tiger will not think that he is really valued by Ma Jiajun. You must know that there are thousands of horse bandits in Crouching Tiger Mountain, and he is not the only one. Other cottages want to replace the status of Crouching Tiger Village!

The horse bandits who gathered by the Wo River were divided into several ways and left from the Wo River one after another, and the horse bandits who went down the mountain with the mountain tiger also said in a timely manner: "Big boss, we should also go!" ”

'Good! Tell your brothers that you must be more careful when entering the fertile field this time. I always felt that this time it was just not going so well. Even if I go back empty-handed, I don't want to see us all folded here, you know? ’

'Yes, big boss! However, there is only one regiment guarding the Eighth Road here, can they hold such a large county seat? ’

According to the previous division of labor, there will be a group of horse bandits heading straight for Woye City. The role of these horse bandits was to attract the attention of the Eighth Road, so that the Eighth Route could transfer the patrol troops on the periphery to return to the county seat they had to defend.

When the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army came back, the rest of the horse bandits began to plunder. Loot the towns and villages where they had been searching for good news, and then leave, leaving the defenders of the Eighth Route exhausted.

I have to say that the person who formulated this set of looting tactics is still a person who knows the affairs of the army. It's just that these horse bandits don't know that the troops of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the territory of Woye are far less than a garrison regiment!

As the last of the bandits disappeared along the river, several figures suddenly emerged from under an inconspicuous snowdrift on the other side of the river. After shaking off the snow from their bodies, everyone pulled out their ski poles buried in the snow.

'Go! Send the news back! ’

These scouts, who lurked on the banks of the Wo River and had been conducting lurking reconnaissance in the vicinity, were naturally veterans of the reconnaissance brigade. As the reconnaissance unit of this operation, they had to monitor every move of the horse bandits for the rear troops.

After receiving the news from the front-line reconnaissance troops, He Zhengdao, who was still staying at the headquarters of the Second Cavalry Division, also said with a smile: "Batu, let the regiment cross the river to build a blocking position!" I will have the reconnaissance detachment on the other side of the river to clear the horse bandits of the sentinels. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

The horse bandits left the Wo River with their front feet, and the main regiment of the 2nd Cavalry Division, which was hidden with their hind feet, crossed the river from the territory of the Wo Ye. Thousands of cavalry silently entered a dense forest on the other side of the river to set up defenses.

And all this, the horse bandits who have entered the territory of the fertile field do not know. For these horse bandits who stepped into the fertile wilderness, what they were thinking about at the moment was this operation, and what could they gain!

Money and women are the targets of these horse bandits going down the mountain to plunder, and their minds are full of these, how can they know that the Eighth Route Army is shrinking the encirclement and preparing to take them to a pot!

Just as He Zhengdao was about to order the troops to enter the battle state, a telegram from Pingluo City made He Zhengdao's expression gloomy. The reason is very simple, the cavalry division of the Ma Jiajun stationed in Pingluo was also dispatched.

The horse bandits entered the territory of Woye with their front feet, and the defenders of Pingluo changed their clothes and sent a cavalry regiment to go straight to Woye. The purpose of doing this is self-evident! (To be continued.) )
