Song Biao led the team to count the materials and personnel in the stockade, Hu Dalin has taken the fourth infantry squadron to Balichuan, Balichuan is located in the northwest of Niujiabao, it is a large tunzi with a radius of eight miles, about 1,800 hectares, surrounded by mountains, there are five ravine roads can enter and exit, a ravine road on the northwesternmost side leads directly to Sanyuanpu, after Sanyuanpu is Liuhe County, a ravine road on the northeast side of Balichuan is called Xianrengou, which leads directly to Heigou Village.

This fairy ditch is very secret, there is a section of the road in the middle is a cave, this fairy cave is more than 100 meters long, even the locals are difficult to figure out the specific direction.

In order to avoid the ears, eyes and eyes of the Yue army, Hu Dalin went to Balichuan from Xianrengou.

After Hu Dalin stepped on a good point and found a small tunzi on the spot as a resting place, Song Biao personally took Zhao Tingzhu's team over to check the next day, and began to transport materials and grain in batches to the small place called Tieshantun.

When Song Biao led the team to prepare, Lao Jintou and Xue Changqing recruited other horse gangs in Hunjiang County under the banner of the Huichun Horse Gang, bought a batch of horsepower and flatbed trucks, and gathered a large convoy of 200 horsepower as much as possible, and also secretly went to Tieshantun from Xianrengou to converge.

Everything else is easy to do, but when you pass through the fairy cave, it is too fatal, the carriages are carried by manpower, and the food is also carried by people.

Song Biao calculated the time very much, he had to set off within three days, he couldn't recruit enough horsepower temporarily, and he had to carry a batch of munitions, supplies and tents with the team, and in the end he only transported 850 quintals of grain, so he just went to Shenyang City to explore the way first.

Because the time was too tight, late that night, seeing that it was New Year's Day according to the Western Era, the Niujiabao brothers, who had more than 480 people, had a sumptuous dinner in Tieshantun, and then followed Xue Changqing and the horse gang led by Lao Jin all the way west along the red deer ditch.

In a hurry, Song Biao took the first step to go to the battle of Heigoutai, before leaving, he deliberately went to find the wounded Russian soldiers, but they were not willing to take this opportunity to return to the team, and would rather stay in Niujiabao to continue to "recuperate".

The night was as black as ink, the black pressure was out of sight, the old golden head who was in charge of leading the horse team couldn't look good, Xue Changqing took two apprentices to play lanterns in front, and lit as few lanterns as possible along the road, and the horse team of nearly seven hundred people only lit forty lanterns, and everyone's feet were black, one foot high, one foot low, and the potholes groped forward along the ravine road.

Song Biao walked in front of the team, leading one of his black horses, carrying his 03 rifle on his back, and the rest of the items he needed were also on his horseback, more than two hundred catties, and he was destined to rely on his legs most of the way.

His horse is a young and strong horse picked out by the old golden head, the whole body is black and shiny, the coat color is first-class, the leg strength is first-class, and the surname is also very docile, which is suitable for him, a person who can just ride a horse.

By Song Biao's side, Li Fugui was carrying a lantern, and more than 30 people nearby were all brothers from the guard post, including Li Dayun and Li Dahan and others, and everyone followed Song Biao closely and protected him in the center.

Zhao Tingzhu's first infantry squadron was in front, Hu Dalin's fourth squadron was in the middle, and Zhang Yahu's third squadron was behind.

If you count the old golden head with dozens of brothers in the logistics team, Song Biao took away more than 500 brothers from Niujiabao in the night at this time, leaving only Yang Tiesheng with the strength of a squadron to defend Niujiabao alone, which is indeed a very big risk.

Even if Yang Tiesheng still has the newly formed Nandian Tunzi Squadron and the patrol squadron of more than 400 people in his hands, and everyone has a gun in his hand, it is really hard to say how much actual combat effectiveness there is.

Song Biao was actually worried that he was making a mistake in his gamble, so he also brought a large part of the silver yuan ruble with him, if Niujiabao was unfortunately lost, the 40,000 quintals of grain would be cheaper for others, and he could only find another way to find a new village.

The night is so well understood, Song Biao took advantage of the light of the lantern in Li Fugui's hand, walked in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, leading his big black horse, thinking about a lot of things in his heart, he hoped that his adventure this time could get a better reward.

The late night in the Northeast is so lonely and cold, walking at night is really a bad choice, everyone has been prepared, everyone is wearing very thick, the ears of the dogskin hat are pulled down to protect the cheeks, and many people who are used to running are wearing gloves.

Malugou is a slender and long ditch, winding, the widest place is only 100 meters, many places are almost a few meters wide, and there are 14 miles of road, not familiar with the road of the caravan basically can not find a clue.

From time to time, Song Biao could hear a sound of trembling in the nearby mountains and forests, startling a burst of birds and beasts galloping, if he encountered a group of roe deer, or red deer, it would be even more jubilant.

In other words, no matter how jubilant it is, it is better to meet the Siberian tiger.

Don't look at the crowd, if there is a Siberian tiger lurking in a corner and suddenly jumps out and takes a person, with this terrain and mountain, hundreds of people can't catch up with each other.

It is said that it is more jubilant than meeting the Siberian tiger is to take the wrong road, this place in the Northeast is a ravine to a ravine, a ditch is connected to eight ditches, taking the wrong road is the most common thing, the most experienced on this road is Lao Guotou, which is recognized by everyone, followed by Xue Changqing.

Lao Guotou's injury was not healed yet, so he stayed in the village to help Yang Tiesheng take care of the family and the hospital, and did some things to make suggestions.

As for how to go on this road, Lao Guo Tou, Xue Changqing, and Lao Jintou discussed it in front of Song Biao, and they didn't even draw a map, they just talked about it in their mouths, like a book from heaven.

Song Biao didn't have any thoughts at all anyway, so he followed Xue Changqing and Zhang Yahu together.

Fourteen miles of road said long is not long, said short is not short, this night to the day when the sky is getting brighter before crossing the south fork of the red deer ditch, from the south fork across the ice is the north gourd set, in order to prevent the news from leaking, everyone is in a hurry, before the sky is bright after the north gourd set, into the branch ditch.

After a short rest at noon, continue to rush over the mountains and mountains, and rest in a place called Xinjia Village in the evening, the horse team of more than 700 people is unprecedented in the northeast, there is only one inn in the village, and there are not so many people living at all, but fortunately, the old Xintou of the place is very enthusiastic, and Song Biao and others are entertained to live in the big courtyard of their house.

Since then, this road has been like this, rushing during the day, and finding a big dianzi to live in at night, because the team on this road is too large, and occasionally encountering one or two litters of bandits nearby can only stare at them dryly.

Starting from the day before New Year's Day, Xue Changqing all the way to find a balance between safety and shortcuts, basically it is a relatively easy road to walk, after Sanyuanpu directly copied the shortcut of Erdaogou, less than thirty miles of road.

The luck of this road is good, there is no snow, all the way down are in the old Guo Tou explained the point to stay, it is very safe, there are acquaintances can take care of it, not only at noon on January 18 to Fushun County, along the road also recruited a group of new brothers, there are people from all over the country, there are young people from villages along the road, there are bandits in the nearby mountains and forests, seeing that they are in a big position, they brought their brothers to come and run.

After Fushun County, they settled in Wujiabao on the south bank of the Hunhe River.

The horse gang generally does not enter the city, because they have to pay taxes when they enter the city, so Wujiabao on the south bank of Fushun County has become the most lively place for businessmen to gather around, Xue Changqing took the horse team to a place called Wujiatun in the north of Wujiabao to live, the tun chief of this tun is called Wurongshan, and he also served as a soldier in the Huai Army in his early years, and Xue Changqing is a good friend.

It's better to come early than to come by coincidence, at noon to Wujiatun is about to settle down the brothers from all walks of life, Wu Rongshan is about to deliver grain and soybean meal to the first Russian cavalry regiment stationed nearby, Song Biao is also in a hurry, he didn't even eat lunch, and directly took Xue Changqing, Zhao Tingzhu and other more than a dozen brothers to follow Wu Rongshan's horse team to the Russian army regiment headquarters.

This Russian cavalry regiment was stationed in the Huangjiagou area on the east side of Wujiatun, a mile away, because there was a lot of grain and soybean meal to be transported in the past, and more than a dozen horse-drawn wagons were needed along the way.

Wu Rongshan is a veteran, he took the lead in driving a carriage, the villagers in the tunzi followed him, Xue Changqing also did a favor, and brought some brothers from the Huichun horse gang to help carry some coarse linen bags, Song Biao took a dozen brothers to ride in the carriage, staggering all the way to the Russian army headquarters camp.

Song Biao sat in the car and ate [***] coarse dough cakes, looked up at the blue sky, after a seventeen-day long journey, he finally arrived at Fengtianfu before the outbreak of the Battle of Heigoutai, but how it would develop in the future, he didn't know in his own heart.

The brothers were quite optimistic, and always felt that as long as they got in touch with the Russians, the 40,000 loads of grain in their storehouses could be transported to Fengtianfu and sold at a good price, and from now on they would be able to eat and drink spicy food.

Hurried all the way, the brothers didn't even have time to rest for one night in Wujiatun and eat a hot meal, and in the middle of the hardest ten days, the brothers followed Song Biao to sleep in the mountains, chew snow and eat cakes, and lost weight when they reached Fushun County.

It's really fortunate.

Song Biao also hoped that the hard work of the brothers would be worth it.

Approaching the Russian military camp headquarters, several groups of Russian patrol horses appeared around, and their military uniforms were very distinctive, which were completely different from the military uniforms of the East Siberian Infantry Regiment that Song Biao had seen in Hunjiang before.

If you have a special penchant for military uniforms, the Russian military uniforms of the Tsarist era must be the best collection theme, there are all kinds of military uniforms, and there are more than a dozen different military uniforms for the Cossack cavalry alone.

The uniforms of these cavalrymen were very special, they wore an open-chested gray tweed coat with red shoulders, and sixteen bullet pouches of traditional style sewn on the chest, not only the shoulders were red, but also the top of the fur cap, which seemed to be a characteristic of a regional caste.

All of them wore fur caps diagonally, which was clearly an important sign of the Cossack cavalry, and the most obvious difference in appearance between the Cossack cavalry and the Russian Guards Cavalry Regiment, the Morlymorse Cavalry Regiment, etc.

Because of the special flag issued by the Russian army, the Russian soldiers at the sentry posts and patrols along the road did not stop the horse team, and let the horse team enter the warehouse station of the Russian military camp headquarters.

This group of Russian troops should have been stationed in this area for a few months, they occupied more than half of the houses in the Huangjiagou tunzi, and built dozens of simple horse sheds in the surrounding fields.

On the side of the warehouse station, it is not only Wujiatun who is delivering supplies, but also have horse teams in the surrounding areas to sell grain and horse materials, as well as merchants transporting tea, salt, oil, etc., and more than a dozen Russian soldiers count the goods one by one under the command of the quartermaster.

Song Biao's group was still far away, so he jumped down from the carriage and walked to Wu Rongshan, the leader of the horse team.

Wu Rongshan was very patiently sitting in the carriage smoking dry tobacco, and when he saw Song Biao, he took the initiative to greet him: "Oh, Brother Biao, I'm afraid I want you to wait a little longer, it is said that they are going to the front line, and other tunzi have also brought grain and grass over, we are late, I am afraid that we will have to wait for a while." Don't worry, or ...... Two puffs? ”

Saying this, he handed the dry tobacco pipe in his hand to Song Biao, and smiled happily.

This man was in his forties, with a swarthy complexion, wearing a black coarse cloth jacket, a roe deer skin vest on the outside, and a very fluffy dogskin hat, and his eyes were shining when he smiled, and his mouth was full of yellow and white teeth.

According to Xue Changqing, this person is very righteous, he is famous in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships, there are many brothers who worship the son, during the First Sino-Japanese War, he organized a regimental training team of more than 1,000 people in the Wujiabao area, and followed the Qing army to fight a battle in Lushun, after the team was broken up by the army, he continued to go back to Tunzi to farm, there are dozens of acres of land at home, and he can be regarded as a rich peasant in the northeast.

Song Biao took out a pack of foreign cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to Wu Rongshan, and asked, "Did the Russians set a very high price, and everyone was so enthusiastic about selling them grain?" ”

Wu Rongshan took Song Biao's cigarette with a wicked smile, but whispered: "Their price is a dead person's bullshit price, but what can I do?" If they can't buy food, then they will directly rob it, haven't Wujiabao and Huangjiagou been looted? His grandmother's, we can't help but sell it, let's suffer a little loss from door to door! Besides, what we sell is old grain, old sorghum rice mixed with soybean meal, you can't eat dead people, so much grain is piled together, who knows which package we sell? ”

Song Biao laughed, he felt at first glance that the old guy Wu Rongshan was also a bad stomach.
