At the beginning of 1931, Chairman Chiang and Zhang Shaoshuai won a complete victory in the Central Plains War, and the limelight was in full swing for a while. At this time, no single force noticed Suiyuan Huaishuo County, and no one would have thought that in this bitter cold place in the northwest, someone would quietly use the name of the local militia to hide almost an elite army full of armor divisions. The Dragon Fifth Division, led by Zhou Da, one of the eight generals of Wolong Mountain, secretly lurked here.

Zhou Da and the others are still complaining about why Mu Han sent them to this bitter cold place in the northwest. But since the secret establishment of the army, the strict military discipline of rewards and punishments and the far-sighted layout of Mu Han and Chen Qi again and again, Zhou Da and others still carry out the orders to the letter. In fact, how did they know that as a strategic location of Baocheng, a world-famous mining city in later generations, Huaishuo's geographical location is extremely important. There is an endless safflower brainbag grassland here; There is Chunkun Mountain, the largest alpine meadow grassland in western Inner Mongolia; There are primeval forests with a lot of wild animals, Ma'anshan and Baiyangou Forest Farms; There is the Great Wall of Qin, one of the eight wonders of the world; There is the legendary Daxian Mountain; There are also various mineral deposits required by military enterprises.

According to Mu Han's arrangement, in 1928, when large-scale party disputes broke out in the Suiyuan area, when the Kuomintang were fighting each other, Chen Qi obtained the establishment of the Huaishuo Security Corps and the title of the head of the Huaishuo County Government at a small cost of 5,000 oceans, 200 Mauser Type 98 rifles, and 5 Czech light machine guns through his connections with a provincial government official. In fact, in the eyes of all outsiders at that time, Huaishuo, as a well-known poor county in the northwest inland area of the four northern provinces during the Republic of China, even the county government officials of the Kuomintang hardly stayed in the county seat, but went to the capital hundreds of kilometers away to enjoy. Especially after the plague that spread widely and quickly, Huaishuo almost became a dead city, with a resident population of less than 50,000 people. However, these provided great convenience for Zhou Da to hide and train his troops.

At the end of the Central Plains War, the various units of the former Northwest Army were either divided and reorganized by Chairman Chiang and Major Marshal Zhang, or they were scattered and became bandits. Over the past year, Zhou Da has collected and reorganized more than 9,000 officers and men in the northwest with good moral conduct and good moral conduct, and with the addition of the original 10,000 officers and soldiers of the main force of Wolong Mountain, Zhou Da's Dragon Fifth Division has been fully operational. Stimulated by the generous military salaries, the officers and men of the former Northwest who were born in a hard life had a good military quality, and under the training and training of the main officers and soldiers of Wolong Mountain led by Zhou Da, coupled with the standard weapons and equipment developed by Wolong Mountain, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and now they are completely no longer under the main force of the original Wolong Mountain, especially more than 300 outstanding soldiers with excellent marksmanship and excellent marksmanship, and they have been selected as the special combat team of the Fifth Dragon Division. At this point, there were no bandits in the whole county and within a radius of 100 miles outside the county, and many victims who fled and went to the west began to gather here, and after a short time, the population of Huaishuo quickly recovered and exceeded the original number. Zhou Da's Fifth Division was secretly placed in various mountainous areas of the county except for the regiment directly under the division headquarters stationed in the county seat, so as to hide people's eyes and ears.

The same thing happened in Dolun, Chahar. In this inconspicuous place, due to its proximity to the provincial capital of Rehe, after all the people and horses of Wolong Mountain were secretly reorganized into the Zhanlong Guard, Qiao Fei led the Third Division of Long to be quietly stationed here. After the operation of Chen Qi and others, Qiao Fei also held the titles of county magistrate and commander of the security regiment. After more than two years of secret development and the integration of the defeated officers and soldiers in the northwest, the headquarters of the Third Division of the Dragon Army also reached the full strength of more than 20,000 people designed by Mu Han. As for the Rehe headquarters, the power of Wolong Mountain has almost achieved full coverage, except for the provincial capital Rehe City and the surrounding counties, almost all other mountainous areas are under the actual control of the Longwei Army. At this point, in addition to the headquarters of Rehe, the Chinese Dragon Guard Army in Muhan and Wolong Mountain has two territories that truly belong to them, and the related military and political work supporting construction is being carried out in an orderly manner.

In the last life, from 1928 to 1930, with Shaanxi and Gansu as the center, and throughout the eight northern provinces of Shanxi, Suiyuan, Hebei, Chahar, Rehe, and Henan, there was a catastrophe dominated by drought, locusts, wind, snow, hail, water, and epidemics, resulting in an innumerable flow of people fleeing the famine, about 10 million starvation died in the wasteland, and the number of refugees was estimated to be about 50 million. In this life, Mu Han had a detailed plan and deployment in advance, Wolong Mountain prepared 10 million yuan of food and medicine in advance, and in Suiyuan Huaishuo, Chahar Duolun, and Rehe, under the resettlement and assistance of Mu Han's Dragon Guard, nearly 6 million people gained vitality and settled down in these three places. This move not only added political achievements and reputation to Zhou Da, Qiao Fei and others, and won the commendation of the Kuomintang government, but more importantly, it won the hearts of the people and a stable source of soldiers and labor for the official appearance of the Long Wei Army in the future, thus accelerating the pace of development of Mu Han's various undertakings.

After Mu Han fell behind in the matter of the Nine Dragons Treasure, he immediately wanted to go to Duolun and Huaishuo to actually investigate. Although with the memory of later generations, Mu Han is still satisfied with his overall layout, but without the true insight of this life, he is still not at ease in his heart. So after the defense of Fengtian Shengji Mountain was perfected. Mu Han called Hou Chenfeng to disguise himself as his stand-in, and he couldn't wait to go all the way west.

In April 1931, when Chairman Chiang, with the Kuomintang General He as the commander-in-chief, led 200,000 troops to carry out the second "encirclement and suppression" of the revolutionary base areas of the Central Committee of the Social Democratic Party, Mu Han set out from Mukden and returned to Wolong Mountain in Rehe, and led Zhao Zhengfeng, the son of Zhao Chengyin, one of the eight generals of Wolong Mountain, and a special combat team under his command to march towards Duolun through Fengning.

Along the way, there were no twists and turns in the territory of Rehe, and the local bandits, horse bandits from the Mongolian steppe, the remnants of the White Russians who fled from Soviet Russia, and even the samurai ronin and pioneer regiments deliberately connived and supported by the Japanese Kwantung Army were almost gone. Mu Han nodded, satisfied with the actual control of the Rehe headquarters. It's just that when he passed through various counties, he was still exploited by Tang Erhu's subordinates. In this regard, Mu Han sneered in his heart, Tang Erhu got most of the guns and arms of the Fujikawa Brigade and was really good at it, because there was no banditry, the trade of various merchants and travelers in Chengde was more prosperous, which also brought a lot of taxes to Tang Erhu. But his good days were coming to an end.

When Mu Han and his entourage entered the territory of Chahar, the situation became completely different from that of Rehe. Along the way, from time to time, I encountered bandits, robbers, murders, and goods. But there was something important to do, and Mu Han didn't go all out.

One evening, Mu Han traveled to the territory of Guyuan, Zhangjiakou, on the main road leading to the county seat, maybe it was getting late, maybe it was banditry and horses, and there were not a few pedestrians on the huge street.

Suddenly, there was a sharp and messy gunshot from the hill beside the road, followed by the sound of horses' hooves galloping.

"Phew!" Mu Han grabbed the reins of the horse with both hands, and the handsome horse man under his crotch stood up, and then his four hooves fell to the ground, pacing the horse's hooves lightly in place. Listening to the chaotic gunshots of the Japanese 38 Gaier, the Russian Water Lianzhu, the Hanyang-made, the box cannon, and even the Belgian Browning and the Japanese officer's Southern 14, Mu Han realized that what had happened was unusual.

He stationed on the horse, Zhao Zhengfeng and his three subordinates immediately stood in a battle formation within the range of Mu Han's two horses, and the rest of the people were also on guard, all of them were holding a ZH dragon pistol improved according to the German Mauser C96 in their left hand, and a ZH dragon submachine gun improved according to the German MP282 in their right hand with a diagonal shoulder straddle, which can undoubtedly form an extremely accurate, powerful, dense and continuous fire output in an instant.

"Less in charge, we avoid it or ......," Zhao Zhengfeng asked warningly.

"Get out of the way and see what happens!" With the reins in his left hand, Mu Han turned the horse under a poplar tree on the side of the road, and looked calmly in the direction where the sound of gunfire and horses' hooves came.

It didn't take long, and a snow-white horse galloped in the afterglow of the sunset. A young woman in a scarf was lying motionless on horseback, letting it run wild. When the white horse saw Mu Han and his party holding guns, he seemed to be frightened, and after a long whistle, his front hooves were raised, and the woman on horseback fell down, rolled on the ground a few times, and then lay motionless on the side of the road. After the master fell, the white steed did not continue to gallop, but stopped, turned and walked straight to the master with small steps, lowered his head and gently arched his lips to the master lying on the ground.

Looking at the woman lying on the side of the road in Mongolian costumes, although her eyes were closed, she still held a very delicate Browning pistol in her hand, judging from her snowy complexion, high nose bridge, and long eyelashes, she turned out to be a Russian, not very old, no more than twenty years old.

"It shouldn't be dead yet, Zhengfeng, go over and see if you can still be rescued." Seeing this, Mu Han couldn't help but arouse a suspicion in his heart: although foreigners appear here from time to time, most of them are stragglers and horse bandits from the remnants of the White Russian forces.

Zhao Zhengfeng heard Mu Han's command, immediately turned over and dismounted, and then very skillfully stretched out his index and middle fingers to probe the woman's neck, and then gently flipped the woman's figure, only to see a large piece of blood soaked and stained the fur coat on the back.

"It is a penetrating wound left by the Japanese 38 big gayer, the bullet should still be in the body, if the bullet is taken out in time to stop the bleeding, it should be saved." Zhao Zhengfeng said with a calm face.

"Then a few people will come up and help, and the medical guards will operate immediately." Mu Han frowned slightly and ordered.

Soon, the medical guards specially assigned by the special combat team took out the first-aid kit and, with the help of several other special combat team members, performed surgery on the woman to remove the bullet and suture the trauma.

At this moment, a group of more than a dozen bandits dressed in various costumes arrived with all kinds of firearms.

"See, that foreign, right there!" Several bandits who rushed to the front shouted excitedly.

Behind about five horses, a large man with a meaty face who seemed to be the leader raised his right hand and motioned for his companions behind him to stop.

The bandit leader with a meaty face looked at the well-equipped Mu Han and his party vigilantly, especially looking carefully at the exquisite firearms held by Mu Han and his party, and seemed to be a little afraid.

"Lion Ridge Lion Village, if the friends in front of you don't want to set up beams, please make it convenient, between our mountains and rivers, it is also a friendship to meet the kiln in the future."

Mu Han looked at this bandit holding a brand-new Southern Type 14 pistol, and his face couldn't help but sink, there was no doubt that this was a group of bandits who had been bought by the Japanese. Because the shell window of the Southern Type 14 pistol specially equipped by Japanese officers was located directly above the receiver, the moment the shell was thrown, the cartridge case touched the rear edge of the shell window, so that the cartridge case flew out directly above the gun in an almost vertical direction, and its height could even reach 2 m, and the hot shell then fell almost vertically, often causing interference to the shooter. The situation is even worse if the shot is fired indoors or under the eaves, where the rebounding shells hit the shooter's head, hands, ears and neck, and the flesh suffers pain and burning. Therefore, except for Japanese officers and hardcore sons to decorate their identities and command use, ordinary bandits will definitely not use this weapon.

Mu Hanshou made a tactical sign language behind his back to prepare for battle, and glanced at Zhao Zhengfeng again, "Nani? Mu Han suddenly said in Japanese: "Are you sure they are friends with the Imperial Japanese Army?" ”

Zhao Zhengfeng was stunned for a moment, then reacted in an instant, and also replied in very fluent Japanese: "Hi, sir, we often take this road to Guyuan, these people should be friends of the imperial army!" ”

The gang of bandits on the side were stunned by Mu Han and the others' fluent Japanese conversation, they had long been secretly bought by the Japanese special high school, and when they saw the Japanese master, they immediately relaxed their vigilance with a smile, where did they dare to use guns on guard, they all put down their guns one by one, nodded and saluted.

"Kill!" Mu Hanyu's face was cold, and he suddenly gave the order to attack, and then with both hands at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, he drew his gun and fired. "Bang Bang" two shots, the two bandits were shot in the eyebrows, and the dead could not die again.

Almost at the same time, the automatic pistols and submachine guns in the hands of Zhao Zhengfeng and the other special combat team members also opened fire at the same time, and the unprepared bandits on the opposite side were all killed in an instant, and almost everyone was shot in the heart and head.

The smell of blood and gunpowder smoke in the air seemed to strongly stimulate the foreign woman who had just completed the bomb removal procedure, and she opened her eyes and subconsciously picked up the Browning in her hand, ready to shoot at any time, but a piercing pain hit her, and her head sank and fainted.
