A day later, at the headquarters of the Lao Maozi garrison, a lieutenant officer, as if frightened by something, rushed into the regiment commander's office with a pale face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, Colonel Lao Maozi, the head of the regiment, was admiring a piece of fine porcelain that his subordinates had just given him with a smile on his face. Fantasizing about how many rubles he could get back for himself after this piece of porcelain was brought back to Russia.

Therefore, in the face of his subordinates who suddenly broke into his office and interrupted his good deeds, the head of the upline subconsciously planned to scold him for being bloody.

However, before he could speak, the lieutenant, who rushed in front of him, reported with a panic on his face......

"Your Excellency, Commander...... The second battalion, the second battalion that went out of the city yesterday had an accident......"

"More than 400 imperial warriors were wiped out in the battle against the Zhou family's compound, and even Major Jeffsky was killed on the battlefield...... Also, the Makqin heavy machine gun that the Lushun Command had just equipped us with had disappeared without a trace......"

Faced with this solution that he had never thought of, the head of the regiment, who was about to get angry just now, was directly stunned.

When he reacted from his stunnedness, the first thought that came to his mind was that he had misheard......

The more than 400 Russian troops that are well-equipped and equipped with a heavy machine gun will easily defeat the Qing court army four or five times larger, not to mention a group of bandits who are not even as good as the Qing court army......

So, the colonel's face was full of suspicion, and he directly opened his mouth and asked: "You say it again, who happened to ......

The lieutenant, standing in front of the regimental commander, would not have believed this seemingly almost impossible thing if he had not seen the body of the battalion commander of Major Devsky with his own eyes.

However, in the face of the facts, he could only meet the suspicious gaze of the regiment commander looking at him and affirm loudly......

"Your Excellency, Commander...... It's the second battalion, the second battalion that went out of the city yesterday...... The body of the battalion commander, Major Jeffsky, has already been transported to the garrison command...... As for the corpses of the other soldiers, they are still lying on the battlefield......"

At this time, the colonel finally believed in this reality, which was almost impossible to happen.

Then, the whole person seemed to have suffered some heavy blow, and he collapsed directly on the seat weakly.

However, this expression did not last long on the face of the colonel.

It didn't take long for the paralyzed regiment commander to sit up from his seat again, and a strong murderous aura emanated from the regiment commander.

After slamming his fist clenched in anger and grievance on the table in front of him, the whole person was like an angry lion, roaring loudly at the lieutenant in front of him......

"I want to know who eliminated my second battalion, how the second battalion was wiped out by the other party, I want to kill them all and avenge the Russian warriors who died in battle......"

Facing the regimental commander's eyes full of anger, the lieutenant was very frightened. But he still pretended to be calm and quickly answered......

"It's Zhao Zhigang...... According to the traces left on the battlefield, the reconnaissance platoon of the regimental headquarters who had been to the battlefield affirmed that the one who fought with the second battalion must have been Zhao Zhigang, who was constantly fighting against us......

"Also, there's bad news here...... Liangliangshan was ordered to go to the checkpoint and ambushed Zhao Zhigang's company of more than 100 soldiers, all of whom died in the checkpoint...... Judging from the battlefield situation, it was also Zhao Zhigang who wiped out the first company......"

Maybe to prove what the subordinates said.

Now the lieutenant in front of him, as soon as he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps reached the ears of the regiment commander again.

Then the lieutenant staff officer of another regimental headquarters rushed in. Then, with a solemn face, he reported......

"Your Excellency, a message has just arrived from a town thirty miles east of the city. A Han landlord who bought the life of my Russian garrison was devastated this morning by a bandit......"

"According to eyewitness observations, this bandit is exactly what we have been trying to eliminate Zhao Zhigang. What's more, Zhao Zhigang's bandits, who are less than fifty people, are actually armed with a heavy machine gun......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lieutenant on the side couldn't help but say, "Heavy machine gun...... Your Excellency Regiment Commander, the heavy machine gun in Zhao Zhigang's hand must be a heavy machine gun brought out of the city by Major Jeffsky of the 2nd Battalion......"

At this time, Colonel Lao Maozi directly told everyone with his silent expression that he also agreed with the lieutenant's judgment.

In his understanding, the Maxim heavy machine gun was rarely equipped even with the well-armed Russian Imperial Army, let alone a group of bandits.

In addition to capturing a heavy machine gun that the 2nd Battalion had taken out of the city, the colonel really couldn't think of any other way for the bandits to obtain a heavy machine gun.

Soon, the silent regimental commander spoke.

Facing the lieutenant who had just rushed in, he asked loudly: "Zhao Zhigang, this Zhao Zhigang is still in a town thirty miles outside the city...... I will send out a heavy army to destroy them and avenge the warriors who have died in battle......"

The lieutenant wanted to nod his head, but, in the face of the facts, he had to shake his head and answer.

"Your Excellency Regiment Commander, when the news spread out of the town and to the county seat, the bandits had already fled with the harvest in the town, and they were fleeing for their lives in the direction of the mountain......

"Judging from his humble duties, this Zhao Zhigang must have known that we would retaliate against them sooner or later, so he took a large amount of captured grain and hid in the mountains to avoid the heavy encirclement and suppression of them by our heavy troops......

Hearing this, the colonel's regimental commander with a murderous face became angry again.

In front of the two subordinates, regardless of his identity, he ordered: "I don't care...... I'll give you three days, no matter what method you use, you have to find this Zhao Zhigang within three days......"

"Zhao Zhigang has already killed too many of our soldiers, we must find them immediately and destroy them......"

"Otherwise, many more Russian warriors will die at his hands......"

"You must know that today's Zhao Zhigang is no longer an ordinary bandit...... After getting a large amount of ammunition from us, especially heavy machine guns, this bandit has gained more firepower than us to a certain extent......"

In three days, Zhao Zhigang, who was enough to move forward lightly, returned to Yangjiazhai.

Therefore, in the face of a target that has completely lost its trace, the three-day search has been fruitless, and nothing else has been taken.

However, for the regiment commander, since he has found an opponent, he will not let it go.

Therefore, in the next month or so, the regiment commander set his target on this non-existent bandit, mobilized all the intelligence personnel he could mobilize, and investigated Zhao Zhigang, who was already located hundreds of miles away......
