Han Fuyu saw that his old subordinates had retreated, so he said coldly to Li Wentian: "Brigade Commander Li, which one are you singing as a teacher?" ”

Li Wentian is Li Xingzhong's old subordinate, and he knows that Han Fuyu and his old boss Li Xingzhong are not on good terms, so he naturally does not buy Han Fuyu's account. turned around and glared viciously at the commanders of the regiments who retreated, and said in his heart that he would wait for Lao Tzu to free his hands and then clean you up.

Turning around, he nodded slightly to Han Fuyu, and said expressionlessly, "Hello Chairman Han." I came to blow up the tunnel on the orders of Division Commander Li and Acting Commander Li of the Third Route Army. I wonder what Chairman Han meant by stopping our ministry's action? ”

Li Wentian deliberately called Han Fuyu Chairman Han, just to let Han Fuyu know that you are only the chairman of Henan Province now, not the commander of our 20th Division, and you Han Fuyu can't control this matter. ”

Han Fuyu could naturally hear the meaning of Li Wentian's words, and his face was even more gloomy. As soon as he arrived here, he saw only Li Wentian's 60th Brigade and Wei Fenglou's engineer battalion of the 23rd Division, and knew that what Song Zhewu had sent to him was right, and that the Northwest Army at Wushengguan had begun to retreat. Moreover, Han Fuyu judged that there were probably only his 20th Division and Wei Fenglou's 23rd Division left in Wusheng Pass now, otherwise, if there was such a big movement here, there would be no other troops from the Northwest Army coming to reinforce, Wei Fenglou's 23rd Division and the remaining two brigades of his 20th Division were probably preparing to deal with the regiment of the Fourth Route Army.

If only these two divisions are left, it will be a good opportunity for him Han Fuyu, as soon as Song Zhewu's large army arrives, with the help of Song Zhewu's strength to recapture the 20th division, he will rebel against the Northwest Army, Lao Tzu will go to Lao Jiang, and he will no longer be angry with Feng Yuxiang and his subordinates who can't get along with him Han Fuyu!

However, the top priority at the moment is to stabilize the situation here first, and this tunnel must not be blown up by Li Wentian. Don't say that he still expects Song Zhewu's army to come over to help him quickly, that is, to take back the 20th Division, he can't go to Hubei unless he has to, he Han Fuyu is the chairman of Henan Province, this is his Han Fuyu's Henan. He wants to rely on southern Henan to recapture his Henan territory, and the Wushengguan tunnel is the lifeblood of his support from Chiang Kai-shek, and it is also the back road for him to retreat to Hubei in case Han Fuyu fails, which absolutely cannot be allowed to Li Wentian to succeed.

Han Fuyu sneered and said, "Commander-in-Chief Li? Is that Li Xingzhong? Since you also know that his commander-in-chief is acting, I, Han Fuyu, are back, and his commander-in-chief will not count. Now in my capacity as commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, I order you to return to the camp with your troops at once. ”

As soon as Han Fuyu spoke, Li Wentian knew that there was something wrong with his words just now, Li Xingzhong was acting as the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army because Han Fuyu was not in Wushengguan, and as soon as Han Fuyu, the legitimate commander-in-chief, returned, Li Xingzhong still had to hand over this commander-in-chief to Han Fuyu. But he was not reconciled to withdraw like this, the vanguard of the Fourth Route Army had already arrived, and if they didn't blow up the tunnel quickly, their large army would arrive in a while. At that time, not to mention blowing up the tunnels again, the tens of thousands of people of the Fourth Route Army, which was strong and strong, could have completely disarmed their division and brigade.

At the moment, he raised his head and said coldly: "Chairman Han, it doesn't matter if you are the commander-in-chief and I Li Wentian, I am on the orders of our division commander Li, if you have anything to say to him, he is in the pass." I ask President Han to get out of the way and not to hinder me in carrying out military affairs. ”

Li Wentian's words made Han Fuyu so angry that his face turned pale. Han Fuyu has always been arrogant and domineering in the Northwest Army. For example, when Han Fuyu was the regiment commander, Ji Hongchang was the battalion commander in Han Fuyu's regiment, and these two people were extremely arrogant; One who is shaped like a fire and would rather bend than bend will naturally not get along very happily. Ji Hongchang is brave and good at fighting, and Feng Yuxiang is very appreciated, Feng Yuxiang was going to promote Ji Hongchang to be Han Fuyu's deputy head, but Han Fuyu just didn't do it. was so angry that Feng Yuxiang scolded Han Fuyu several times, punished him, and even beat Han Fuyu's military stick, Han Fuyu resolutely disagreed, and finally Feng Yuxiang had to transfer Ji Hongchang away.

The person who dares to contradict Feng Yuxiang, except for Han Fuyu in the Northwest Army, there is really no second person who dares. Han Fuyu's arrogance can be seen from this.

Today, Han Fuyu was actually confronted by Li Wentian in public, and he couldn't help but be angry, and said viciously: "Li Wentian, Brigade Commander Li, don't think that Li Xingzhong is covering you, I, Han Fuyu, can't do anything about you, I just killed you, can Li Xingzhong bite my ball?" Come on, take down this thing that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead. ”

As soon as Han Fuyu's voice fell, his new pistol team captain Li Dayong waved his hand (Wu Huawen had been transferred by Feng Yuxiang and served as the commander of the pistol brigade of the Northwest Army), and he was about to come up with people to arrest Li Wentian. Li Wentian's guard captain is an old subordinate that Li Wentian brought to the 20th Division, and he is not like those people in the 20th Division, who are afraid of Han Fuyu. With a wave of his hand, he took out a pistol, stepped in front of Li Wentian, and shouted: "Who dares!" ”

Li Wentian's guard platoon, as soon as he saw the captain digging out the guy, immediately took out his pistol and moved the nose of the machine. Li Dayong did not show weakness, he shook his hands and his two hands were like a trick, and a shell gun appeared on each side, and the moment he took out the shell gun, he rubbed his legs and opened the bolt, and Han Fuyu's pistol team also blocked in front of Han Fuyu almost at the same time, and pointed the MP18 submachine gun in his hand at Li Wentian's guards.

Wang Jing, chief of staff of the 60 th Brigade, is Han Fuyu's old subordinate, and he has long been unable to stand the anger of Li Xingzhong and Li Wentian, and is trying to use Han Fuyu to suppress Li Wentian's arrogance. So, I've been hiding from the side and watching the excitement. But as soon as he saw that the two sides were going to move, he couldn't hide anymore, he wasn't afraid that Li Wentian would be killed, but now the crowd was too dense, if he really shot, they would inevitably suffer from the pond fish, and Han Fuyu was also easy to be hurt. If Han Fuyu really had three longs and two shorts, they, the people of the 20th Division, would really become motherless children, and no one would care about promoting them.

Wang Jing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Dayong's body, and said to Han Fuyu through a few pistol team members: "The commander-in-chief is angry!" He glanced at Han Fuyu and said, "Brigade Commander Li was ordered by Division Commander Li, and we are also sent by the upper branch and the lower branches, and it is difficult to disobey the military order." Now there are only the 23rd Division of Division Commander Wei and our 60th Brigade at Wushengguan, and the commander-in-chief still went to explain to Division Commander Li that he would take back the order, and we will wait for the order here. ”

Wang Jing's words made Han Fuyu's heart tremble, he knew that this was Wang Jing telling him about Wu Shengguan's current situation. Xin said: "Li Xingzhong, this bastard, actually transferred Lao Tzu's 20th Division away, this is clearly guarding against me Han Fuyu, at this time, I really can't kill this Li Wentian, in that case, he will never have a chance to approach the other two brigades." ”

With a wave of his hand and asking everyone in the pistol team to put away their guns, Han Fuyu walked up a few steps, came to Li Wentian, and said word by word: "Brigade Commander Li, I'll go to Li Xingzhong, before the order, if you dare to blow up the tunnel, I, Han Fuyu, will definitely pick your skin." After saying that, he turned around and got on the train with the pistol team and drove towards the station outside Xiguan.

Li Wentian looked at Han Fuyu's special car driving far away towards the station, spat hatefully, and scolded: "It's already a phoenix that has lost its hair, and it's still a fart." ”

Li Wentian spun around twice in the same place, thinking that it was not appropriate to wait like this, because after a long time, the large force of the Fourth Route Army would arrive, and then there would be no chance to blow up the tunnel. It was necessary to blow up the tunnel before the arrival of the large forces of the Fourth Route Army. Li Wentian, who had made up his mind, said to Wang Jing: "Chief of Staff, you take the second and third regiments to the rear to deal with the regiment of the Fourth Route Army, and I will take one regiment in the front. ”

Wang Jing hesitated and said, "Brigade commander, don't we wait for orders?" ”

Li Wentian glared at him and said loudly: "Chief of Staff Wang, as well as several of your regiment commanders and battalion commanders, I can clearly tell you that Division Commander Li will not change the order, and this order was given by Mr. Feng himself. Immediately follow my orders, otherwise don't blame me for Li Wentian's gun not recognizing people. ”

Wang Jing looked at Li Wentian's guards, which were all loaded with bullets, and reluctantly waved at the second and third regiment commanders, and went to the back to arrange the troops. At the urging of Li Wentian, the commander of the 1st Regiment drove the engineer battalion of the 23rd Division to the east side of the railway and pushed his troops to the front.

The engineer battalion of the 23rd Division knew that it was going to do it, and was happy to leave this battlefield, so as soon as it arrived at the east of the road, it immediately found a place to cover up under the roadbed.

Li Wentian and his guards also crossed the roadbed and came to the east to cover up.

Seeing that the front and rear were ready, Li Wentian took out his pistol and was about to fire the gun to signal the attack. There was a rumbling sound, and soon a train rushed out of the tunnel and braked sharply on the section of roadbed covered by Li Wentian. In the shrill sound of steel rubbing, more than 20 carriages quickly opened their doors, and a large number of soldiers of the Fourth Route Army jumped out of it, all of whom quickly surrounded Li Wentian's people with weapons in their hands. As soon as Li Wentian and his guards stood up, they were surrounded by dozens of soldiers of the Fourth Route Army who jumped out of the car, and pointed at them not only 38 bayonets, but also MP18 submachine guns and ZB26 light machine guns.

Xu Fang, the acting head of the Second Regiment, had already received a telegram from Zhang Yafei ten minutes ago, telling him that the troops of the First Regiment were confronting the Northwest Army outside the tunnel, and that he would subdue them as soon as he arrived, and that if there was any resistance, they could be resolved by force. Therefore, Xu put it in the car and arranged it in advance.

It was more than 300 meters from the mouth of the tunnel to the scene of the confrontation, and before the train could stop, the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment jumped out of the train and pounced on the officers and men of the 60th Brigade. Many other soldiers with machine guns climbed onto the roof of the car and set up machine guns aimed at the crowd of the 60th Brigade, ready to shoot at any moment.

The first to be disarmed was the engineer battalion of the 23rd Division, because half of them were unarmed, and under the pressure of bayonets, they consciously put down their guns.

The officers and men of the 60th Brigade were forced to gradually retreat under the pressure of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Fourth Route Army who were rushing from all around, and they were gradually oppressed into a large group, and they no longer had the strength to resist.
