The autumn tiger has passed, and the frost in Huaibei has fallen in October, and the temperature changes rapidly, so it is necessary to wear short sleeves at least at noon, but now it is necessary to wear a long shirt.

More than 500 soldiers of the Renzi Battalion wore uniform uniforms, but they were no longer the old-fashioned uniforms of the past, which were issued a month ago. Other prices in Jiangsu may be a little more expensive, but the price of this cloth is really not expensive, and a large amount of cotton cloth is produced in Suzhou and Shanghai, and these military uniforms are made of ordinary blue cotton cloth.

The new uniforms look straight and straight, and they feel very energetic when they are worn. Regardless of whether it is a winter coat or a summer coat, the top is dark blue, and the straight-leg pants underneath are different, the single pants are blue in the summer, and the thick pants are black in the winter. One military uniform in winter and summer, two sets per person, and if the clothes are torn, they will be taken to the logistics brigade so that the logistics brigade can find someone to make up for it.

What made the soldiers happiest was not the two new military uniforms, but the pair of pure cowhide military boots that were issued after a month to two days ago, and now they are stepping on their feet, which in their impression only those officials are qualified to wear. The black and shiny leather boots are all hand-sewn with full cowhide and cow tendons, as long as they are worn normally and not soaked in water, even if the soldiers train and run every day, it will be difficult to break within two years. Just this pair of military boots cost a tael of silver.

The clothes are easy to make, and you can quickly make them by finding several large ready-to-wear stores in Andong County. But it took a lot of effort to make these military boots, but the secretaries of the Dusi Yamen broke their legs and found the special leather boots in Andong County and Qinghe County, and given the style, it took an extra month to get together the 600 pairs of military boots requested by Zhang Renjie.

The Renzi battalion does not need to prepare dresses now, the two sets of military uniforms are regular uniforms, and after the military boots were issued, Zhang Renjie asked people to send down their respective epaulettes, cap badges and collar badges. Since the Renzi battalion is divided according to the new military camp system, all levels must be clear, and the subordinates must obey the superiors, even if the defeated teams are scattered, they can also be distinguished by guò epaulettes and collar badges after they are gathered together, so as to facilitate unified command.

"My lord, the message should be accurate. The Tang family's shops in Andong are not out of stock these days, but there is a merchant ship sailing along the Salt River from Shanyang County, and it is said that it will stop at Daguan Wharf tomorrow night. The Xia family was even more arrogant, and three carriages came from the official road of Qinghe County, and they were almost able to enter the city this afternoon. "Zhang Renjie handed over the matter of inquiring about the news to Hua Liangfu, and Hua Liangfu has been running outside a lot these days, but the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad have been sent to him by Zhang Renjie.

In addition to normal training for the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad in the past few months, Zhang Renjie has also taught some reconnaissance skills from time to time, of course, they are not as serious as they are about the special combat team. There's no way, now he can't be busy alone, even ordinary combat troops need some soldiers who can scout, at least they still have to know some reconnaissance skills. This property investigation is a display and is also very flexible, and after a few days of inquiring about the news in the city, I really found out. In fact, this is also what the Tang family and the Xia family did not hide much. The guys below also know that there will indeed be new goods arriving in the next two days, but they don't know what it is.

Zhang Renjie suddenly came to the spirit: "Let the third company commander prepare for action!" The soldiers are divided into two ways, one way will cut the carriage of the Xia family first, let the other way search along the salt river in the direction of Shanyang, and if you see the boat with the flag of the Tang family, you will go up to search, and it is best not to kill people in case of resistance, this time we will only grab the goods! ”

"I'll send someone to herald."

From Qinghe County to Andong County, there is only one official road between the two counties, sandwiched between the Salt River and the waste Yellow River. The two rivers are like two guardrails protecting the official road, but the closest place between the salt river and the abandoned Yellow River is also a kilometer apart.

There are many pedestrians and caravans coming and going on this official road, and you can meet a horse-drawn carriage every other way. The Xia family's convoy had a total of three carriages, with twelve guards on both sides, one in the lead, and three in the car, who were dressed very ordinarily, but all of them had a fierce look, and it was difficult for people to approach. They are not from the dart game, they are the family members of the Xia family. Half of the twelve men carried guns behind them, and the others also carried knives in their hands.

Zhang Daniu had infiltrated with three squads of soldiers from Zhangjiazhuang five days ago, but he also pretended to be a caravan. They did not carry guns, but they took out 30 revolvers from the Zhang's treasury to facilitate the operation. This is really luxurious, thirty pistols, it is estimated that even the Tang family can't find so many. After doing this, it will definitely make the Tang family, the Xia family and others wonder, and they will not suspect Zhang Renjie about the origin of this group of bandits.

After all, in the past few days, Dusi Yamen has sent a lot of soldiers to patrol the streets, and they are carrying ordinary rifles on their backs, some new and some old, this pistol is so expensive, in their opinion, Zhang Renjie can't afford to equip it, not to mention thirty at once! That's two or three thousand taels of silver, and with so much silver, he can buy a hundred brand-new rifles to equip the troops.

Zhao Chuanlei, the original seventh squad leader and the current eleventh platoon leader, led one squad to take charge of the Xia family's convoy, and Zhang Daniu personally took the remaining two squads to intercept the Tang family's merchant ships. Zhao Chuanlei and other eleven people did not have a big goal, and when the convoy of the Xia family had already passed the halfway way, ten people under the leadership of Zhao Chuanlei set up an ambush in a lot called Guzui Village, which is a pear forest, and the official road passes through the middle, which is very convenient for Tibetans.

"Platoon commander, it's coming!" Gu Dagui, the leader of the thirty-third squad beside him, ran to Zhao Chuanlei's side to report.

"Dig guys, brothers, don't be in a hurry to shoot first, rush to the front and force them for me, if you really don't listen to the greeting, hit me, but don't kill them all at once!" Zhao Chuanlei commanded. "We have short guys in our hands, and we have more guns than them, and they don't necessarily dare to resist, as long as they don't resist, don't shoot. If you can, you won't be alarmed in the county. "It's only seven or eight miles away from the county seat, in fact, it's just shooting, and the county seat can't hear it.

Some of the eleven people hid behind the pear tree, some lay in the grass, and after the Xia family's convoy approached, Zhao Chuanlei whistled sharply, and the ten soldiers suddenly jumped out of the shadows.

"Who dares to move our Xia family's convoy?" The leading Xia family guard pulled the bolt in a panic and shouted in his mouth. The other Xia family guards with guns also did the same actions as the leader, and the rest quickly pulled out their waist knives, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

"Don't move, if you move again, you'll be beaten into a blood gourd!" Zhao Chuanlei shouted. "Those who know each other are all passive, the brothers are just asking for money, and Mao will not hurt you. But if you don't obey to death, the guy in our brother's hands doesn't have eyes! ”

"Dare to ask your brother's surname? It's new to Anton's side. Our Anton Xia's hometown is famous, and Master Xia likes to make friends with heroes from all walks of life. Today, a few brothers are also happy, this is a small meaning to invite the brothers to drink, and please ask the brothers to make a way, our Master Xia will definitely accept your love! "The leading Xia family guards obviously often travel from south to north, and they were not afraid when they encountered bandits, and immediately stepped forward to start making friends.

"Less nonsense! Our brothers only need these goods of yours, and don't want anything else, how much silver is the value of the goods in the car, and how much silver is in your hand, you and I will not settle the account! Brethren, cut! ”

"Don't move, don't move!" The guards of the Xia family were also holding guns and pointing at the 'bandits' on this road, and they also held knives and posed as if they were ready to fight at any time.

"Hehe, I see that you are also a person who understands, your life is your own, and the goods belong to someone else's, why bother to take your own life for these goods! Besides, do you see the guy in your hands clearly? The revolver, a British product, can fire six bullets in a row, and with just a few of you, we can put down two guns! How about honestly, put down the knife and gun and stay aside, our brother said that if you don't hurt people, you won't hurt people! Zhao Chuanlei continued to point a gun at the leader of the guards and said.

These guards look at the situation very unfavorably, and they don't have much fighting spirit, they will definitely not be able to beat others, and the guys in their hands are not hard-rooted, if they have the same good goods, where can they be afraid of this batch of 'bandits'?

"Drop your weapons and give them the wagon!" The leader of the guards shouted, "We've confessed this time!" ”
