Wang Shouwu frowned and said, "Teacher, I said you better quit smoking, this thing is the most exhausting and harmful to the body." ”

Pang Bingxun said happily: "Hey, my old Pang has no hobbies in his life, just this good cigarette." Pang Bingxun was afraid that Wang Shouwu would persuade him again, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Sacrifice my brother, Zhengzhou is a good place!" If only we could stay here for a long time, we would be able to make some extra money, supplement our military salaries, and improve the food for the brothers. ”

Sighing, Pang Bingxun smiled bitterly and said: "The Northwest Army is too bitter, we are not Mr. Feng's old army, and this Zhengzhou will not let us stay permanently." Sun Liangcheng said that he would arrive in Zhengzhou in the early morning, and as soon as he arrived, we should quickly retreat westward. ”

Seeing that Wang Shouwu didn't speak, Pang Bingxun asked Wang Shouwu: "Sacrifice yourself, what is the matter with you coming?" ”

Wang Shouwu also smiled bitterly and said: "Don't say that the miscellaneous cards in our team, that is, Han Fuyu, who has made great contributions to the Northwest Army, is not treated by Mr. Feng now, and we don't even think about Zhengzhou."

I really have something to tell my teacher. ”

"What's the matter? You still have to come to me and tell me, I said a long time ago that our temporary 14th division can come to this day, and it is inseparable from your sacrifice of your brother, you can do half of the things in this division, you can handle it yourself. Pang Bingxun said as he bent over and wore cloth shoes.

Wang Shouwu sat down on a chair, leaned forward and said: "The Fourth Route Army sent a large number of personnel to the city early this morning, not only the logistics personnel who purchased military supplies, but also many people set up a recruitment office in the city with great fanfare, focusing on recruiting students, and in the past half a day, two or three hundred students have been recruited alone. The salary of the Fourth Route Army is really high, the soldiers actually have 5 oceans of military salary per month, and Shang Zhen is really willing to pay the capital, it seems that this Hebei is much richer than this Henan! ”

Wang Shouwu, who was emotionally moved, suddenly remembered that he hadn't said anything yet, so he couldn't hold back the words of envy and complaint, frowned and said: "Originally, they recruited troops well, and they had such a high military salary, and some people would come from the surrounding counties in a few days." But for some reason, they suddenly stopped recruiting at noon today, and withdrew from the city with the recruits they had recruited. Moreover, not only these recruiters, but also the logisticians who purchased the supplies were all withdrawn from the city, and it was reported that they were in a hurry, and I suspect that something must have happened. There are only two troops in the vicinity of Zhengzhou, the 14th Division and the Fourth Route Army, so we can't help but guard against it! I have ordered two brigades to be put on heightened alert. ”

Pang Bingxun, who had just put on a shoe, was also stunned by Wang Shouwu's words, and after a moment's pause, Pang Bingxun slowly straightened up, looked at Wang Shouwu suspiciously, and asked, "You mean, their people in the city suddenly evacuated?" ”

Wang Shouwu nodded and said: "Yes, after receiving the news, I sent people to check all over the city, and there was no one left, and even the poultry eggs they ordered in the 'Zhida Egg Factory', because there were too many of them, the people from the egg factory were raising them, and they couldn't wait to take them away, just told them to store in the egg factory first, and then come to pick them up after a while." ”

Pang Bingxun thought for a while, then bent down to tie the shoelace of the other foot, and said while tying it: "Sacrifice yourself, I don't think this is coming at us, if he wants to deal with us, not only will these people not withdraw from the city, but they will even find an excuse to send personnel, and when the time comes, the inside and the outside should cooperate and take Zhengzhou in one fell swoop." ”

Wang Shouwu nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too, but this thing is a little strange, if it is not to deal with us, what else can it do?" Moreover, what is this Fourth Route Army doing not leave in Zhengzhou? I think the news that Yan Xishan posted in the newspaper should be true. ”

Pang Bingxun stood up, pouted and said: "Of course it's true, didn't you see that their chief of staff, Tao Rong, is still holding Han Fuyu's warrant, Han Fuyu is now very close to Lao Jiang, if the veteran gives me such a high courtesy, my Lao Pang will immediately take the brothers over." ”

said a little strangely: "I just don't understand, Han Fuyu is now a thorn in Mr. Feng's eyes, a thorn in the flesh, not only accepted his 20th Division, but also successively sent Shi Jingting and Li Xingzhong to the 20th Division as division commanders, these two people have followed Mr. Feng to the wilderness to Soviet Russia, both of them are Mr. Feng's henchmen, and they are both at odds with Han Fuyu, which clearly means that he wants to completely cut off Lao Han's roots in the 20th Division." Han Fuyu has no power if he has no soldiers, what does he do with so much effort as a bare-bones commander? ”

Wang Shouwu said with emotion: "This is the cleverness of Lao Jiang, the division commander has heard of the matter of buying bones with a thousand gold." ”

Seeing Pang Bingxun listening attentively, Wang Shouwu continued: "The reason why the Gui family didn't even finish a round with Lao Jiang, and then lost their armor and returned to Guangxi, it was because Lao Jiang relied on bribing Tang Shengzhi, Li Mingrui, Yang Tenghui and others, and now it is clear that he is going to fight with Mr. Feng again, and naturally he has to use this tried and tested method again." Although Han Fuyu does not have military power in his hands now, Han Fuyu is very prestigious in the Northwest Army, Shi Yousan and Ma Hongkui are his good brothers, that is, the division commander, you ......"

Seeing that Pang Bingxun didn't react, Wang Shouwu said again: "Once Lao Jiang pulls Han Fuyu over, Shi Yousan and Ma Hongkui will definitely follow him, and the main thing is that Lao Jiang wants to show the people in the Northwest Army, and he wants to set an example for the generals of the Northwest Army, I am like this for people like Han Fuyu, what are you waiting for." ”

Wang Shouwu looked at the closed door, and lowered his voice and said to Pang Bingxun: "Division Commander, it has not been easy for our provisional 14th Division for more than ten years, but the division commander broke his heart and suffered a lot to pull it up, and now that he sees that Lao Jiang is about to use knives and guns with Feng Yuxiang, should we also make some preparations earlier?" ”

Pang Bingxun walked slowly on the ground for a few steps, looked up at the roof for a while, turned his head and said to Wang Shouwu: "Sacrifice brother, you are right, preparation must be done, and I will not hide it from you, I have always been good with Han Fuyu, this time Mr. Feng arranged for the Northwest Army to return to Shaanxi, Han Fuyu didn't know, I sent him the news twice, I just wanted to keep Han Fuyu's road." ”

Pang Bingxun changed his words and said: "But now it's just a way to go, although the Northwest Army is very bitter, but Mr. Feng's combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army is not comparable to the Gui family, and it is more than 500,000 horses, I don't believe that Lao Jiang can eat it in one bite?" Han Fuyu, Shi Yousan and others will not be guarded, how can it be so easy for them to pull the troops away? Moreover, the defection of one or two divisions could not hurt the bones of the Northwest Army. ”

After being silent for a while, Pang Bingxun said faintly: "If it was just you and me, it would be okay to say, but there are nearly 10,000 brothers, I have to be cautious!" We are in this Northwest Army, although it is also a miscellaneous army, but we are not the only ones here, and compared with the Central Army, the Northwest Army is also a miscellaneous card, although we are a miscellaneous card in the miscellaneous card here, but it will definitely be better mixed than the miscellaneous card in the main card. For example, Sun Dianying is like this, although he is not short of military salary now, but it is worse than the main card of the Central Army, and the most important thing is that he is not in good spirits and is looked down upon. ”

Pang Bingxun sighed, sat down next to Wang Shouwu, and said with a smile: "Give up your life, this matter is not in a hurry, let's take a look, but we should be more careful here, the Fourth Route Army said that it was in Zhengzhou to suppress bandits, what kind of bandits?" In my opinion, it is to suppress the Northwest Army. If we don't provoke him, he will definitely ignore us, as can be seen from their refusal to camp in Zhengzhou. This Song Zhewu is very careful, I think he must have known that Sun Liangcheng was going to Zhengzhou, and he withdrew all his people, he must have been afraid that Sun Liangcheng would be unfavorable to him when he came to Zhengzhou. In fact, with Sun Liangcheng's tens of thousands of people, even if they add us, they are not necessarily their opponents. But after all, this is a place of right and wrong, and as soon as Sun Liangcheng arrives in Zhengzhou tomorrow, we will go to Gongxian, and we will not go to this troubled water. ”

Wang Shouwu was speechless, and said enviously: "What the division commander said is that this Fourth Route Army not only has 60,000 or 70,000 people, but also this weaponry is too good, there are more than 60mm 75mm mountain artillery, not only many 60mm mortars, but also more than 100 82mm and 120mm mortars. If Mr. Feng doesn't offend Soviet Russia, we can still get some from Soviet Russia. ”

Wang Shouwu sighed and said, "I'll arrange it in a while, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." I think the division commander should send another telegram to Han Fuyu to probe his tone. ”

Pang Bingxun looked at Wang Shouwu and said, "Give up your life, I understand what you mean, but now we should not contact Han Fuyu well, so as not to be affected by him in the future." Rest assured, my old Pang will not be without thinking about the brothers. ”

Wang Shouwu said worriedly: "But Mr. Feng didn't have a good heart to leave us in Gong County, which is still too close to Zhengzhou." Moreover, Mr. Feng withdrew his troops to western Henan and Shaanxi, once the fight started, the east of Luoyang would inevitably be the main battlefield, and we would bear the brunt of it in Gongxian! ”

Pang Bingxun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we will talk about it when the time comes, and then we will vote for Lao Jiang." ”

The closed door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a large soldier entered.

Pang Bingxun and Wang Shouwu were taken aback, and when they saw the person clearly, Pang Bingxun, who was angry, changed his smile and said, "Gengyu, when will you change your popular surname?" ”

The person who came was Ma Fawu, commander of the 42nd Brigade of the 14th Division, who was temporarily organized. Ma Fawu, graduated from the eighth artillery section of the Baoding Military Academy, has been following Pang Bingxun since he was the battalion commander, and he was picked up by Pang Bingxun, and he is also Pang Bingxun's confidant.

Ma Fawu also realized that he was a little abrupt, and hurriedly said: "Division commander, my patrol team, about 20 miles west of Zhengzhou, found a cavalry battalion of the Fourth Route Army, intercepting a train of buses coming from the direction of Luoyang, and I have sent a regiment to stop it. ”
