Chapter 611 Liu Motou, the leader of the bandits

Liu Motou, the bandit leader who was entrenched in the southwest of Lu and hugged the mountain area of Qiangu, got the secret report that his own eyeliner in Stomping Zhuang had come back from the Sun family's compound and was captured by a battalion of the central army.

Liu Motou has long been looking forward to his kowtow brother Sun Million, and go to see Lord Yan as soon as possible, the Sun family's Wanguan family wealth, his own uncle will take care of it for him, it is logical, forgive the young master who is not talented, and he can't afford to make big waves, and he doesn't obediently listen to his own fiddling, Sun Million's family background will be his own sooner or later.

He absolutely believes that he has been a bandit for many years, and the little hard-earned money he got by robbing houses, kidnapping tickets, smashing kilns, and killing people and stealing goods is not even half of Sun Million's family fund, he is afraid that this money will be taken away by those soldiers in the Central Army, and the good things he has been thinking about for many years will not be in vain?

With many years of fat on his lips, he saw it fall into other people's mouths, Liu Motou's troublesome heart is not to mention it, but he doesn't have so much courage, and he doesn't dare to rob it, it is a battalion of regular troops, machine guns and artillery, if he can't get it, this little bit of family money that he has been operating for many years will be ruined in this field, but he is unwilling.

Liu Motou suddenly patted his bald head, remembered, more than a month ago, there was a Mr. Wang on the mountain, very sven, literate and hyphenated, a Jiaodong accent, but Liu Motou listened, always felt weird, according to his own words, doing business in Qingdao, offended the local very powerful gang, was chased everywhere, cornered, I heard that Liu Da is in charge, righteous and squandering money, bold, and powerful, before he came to hug the calf to take refuge.

It stands to reason that with Liu Motou's consistent style of being a bandit for many years, he will not take in people of unknown origin at all, if he feels a little suspicious, he will simply reward him with a peanut and send him back to his grandmother's house, but this Mr. Wang can say with a mouth, astronomy and geography, yin and yang gossip knows everything, and he also claims to be familiar with military books and knows how to fight.

Arrange a master's position, write and calculate, anyway, there are more than 8,000 brothers holding calves, none of them are literate, he is blind, Liu Motou himself is even more flat and put on the ground, and he doesn't recognize the word "one", and he can't even find someone to write a letter of kidnapping, since his surname is Wang, he said that he knows how to fight, why not ask him, dead horse right to be a live horse doctor.

Liu Motou said the matter, Mr. Wang was very interested, asked all the details in detail, and directly told him, this thing can be done, if the Central Army takes the big road, we can't help it, and then let the eyes of Stomping Zhuang, continue to inquire about the news, just Gu Dashan wanted to take a shortcut back to Pingyi, and he couldn't find a guide everywhere, and Mr. Wang seized the opportunity, Liu Motou was also encouraged by Mr. Wang, with a pair of wolf eyes, staring at the movements of the first battalion.

The two peasants who volunteered to be guides were the eyeliners planted by Liu Motou in the stomping village, and when he got the news, Mr. Wang immediately arranged his troops, at first, Liu Motou didn't look down on this surnamed Wang, and felt that he was too timid, more than 8,000 people beat more than 1,000 people, or in the mountains, intercepted in the middle of the road, a machine gun grenade, and couldn't solve them?

Looking at it, Liu Motou saw a little way, and felt that Mr. Wang was more ingenious and thoughtful than his arrangement, and he believed it in his heart, and when he arrived at the canyon, Mr. Wang was busy directing the planting of explosives and the distribution of troops, Liu Motou was greatly impressed, and simply handed over the command to Mr. Wang, and the result was really as he expected, those two eyeliners really brought the Central Army into the ambush circle and made himself a big bargain.

Liu Motou went down to the canyon, saw the white flowers, the yellow gold bars, in the sun, dazzling his eyes, Sun Million's family background, finally fell into his hands, not hurt the peace, do not damage the prestige, such a good thing, it is difficult to find with a lantern, proud, grinning and laughing wildly, Mr. Wang's status, in his heart, immediately climbed to a new height, no longer a master, but promoted to a military division.

Mr. Wang looked at the carried away Liu Motou and reminded him to clean up the battlefield immediately, leave here with all the things, and return to Hug Calf, remember, all traces must be destroyed, and no clues can be left, the Central Army has suffered such a big loss, and it will definitely not give up, we can't let the Central Army catch the handle.

Mr. Wang's words were said to those bandit leaders, these guys, with black eyes, only stared at the white flowers, and didn't pay attention to Mr. Wang's set at all.

The bandits returned to their nests with the blood-stained ocean, gold bars, gold and silver jewelry, jewels and jade, and the canyon fell silent, the cold wind swept by, the pine waves gusted, and the heavy smell of blood could not be dispersed, and more than 1,200 warriors slept forever on this land, and could no longer open their young eyes and look at the sky and the earth in southwest Lu.

The situation that the first battalion was surrounded by bandits in the canyon near Guimengding was quickly reported to Han Tie in Xuzhou, Han Tie was taken aback, and immediately, ordered the troops of the three regiments that had been assembled in Pingyi to rush to reinforcements, and then, he received a report from Pingyi County that he had lost contact with the first battalion, and the radio would call no response, and Han Tie's heart was shrouded in an ominous cloud.

In the fierce battle, what does it mean to lose contact with the troops, Han Tie didn't dare to think about it, he sent a second telegram, urging reinforcements, at any cost, at the fastest speed, to rush to the Guimengding area, when Liu Motou's bandits withdrew from the battlefield, the reinforced troops were still more than a day's way away from the canyon.

The reinforcements, with a non-combat attrition of several hundred people, forcibly marched day and night, and finally arrived at the place where the battle took place the next morning, very close, and did not hear a single gunshot, and the commander of the fourth brigade led the team sank, and there was no gunfire, which means that the entire battalion was wiped out? He didn't want to believe that.

The canyon comes into view, there are traces of fierce battles everywhere, the frozen soil and stones in the valley have been turned up, bullet casings everywhere, you can imagine the fierce process of the battle, what makes it difficult for the soldiers to accept is that the remains of more than 1,000 comrades-in-arms are covered with the land devastated by the war, and the dark red blood has solidified into pieces of blood spots, staining the ground under them red.

None of the weapons were intact, the four Type 92 infantry guns had been blown up, and there were scattered weapon parts everywhere, and the comrades-in-arms destroyed all the weapons before they died, so that these weapons did not fall into the hands of the bandits, and what made the soldiers extremely angry and sad was that the bodies of the comrades-in-arms were covered with traces of bayonets, and these bandits, even the corpses were not spared, and they were also afraid of being beaten by a battalion, and everyone was stabbed a few times on their bodies, for fear that a soldier would suddenly jump up and die with them.

On the sunny slope, under the pine and cypress, a new tomb, during the neat arrangement, the whistling mountain wind swept through the treetops, whimpering like a cry, blowing the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers, more than 1,200 comrades-in-arms are buried here, a tall tombstone, towering in front of the grave, on which is written "The North China Independent Division of the National ** Army, the Tomb of the First Battalion of the Third Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Yellow River Henan Garrison Corps, the Independent Division of the Dead Comrades-in-Arms of the First Battalion of the Yellow River and Henan Garrison Corps all respectfully," the white stubble tombstone, with big black characters, dignified and depressing.

Nearly 10,000 muzzles, pointing to the blue sky, muzzles spewed out angry flames, bursts of gunfire, startled the forest birds, scattered the mountain wind, echoed in the mountains and pine forests, endlessly, like countless revenge hearts shouting, nearly 10,000 pairs of eyes, ** out of angry flames, they swore to their comrades who were sleeping here, blood debts and blood repayment.

When Tang Qiuquan arrived in Xuzhou, Han Tiezheng sat in the headquarters with a blue face, holding a telegram in his hand, his teeth were clenched, Zhou Zheng's face was distorted, looking hideous and terrifying, his heart was full of self-blame, he was too eager to open up the situation in Lunan and Luxinan, did not fully take into account the banditry, the troops were too scattered, more than 48,000 people, scattered on thousands of square kilometers of land, and unfamiliar with the geographical environment, this kind of incident is also normal.

However, Han Tie couldn't forgive himself, he had to admit that he didn't take these bandits to heart, it was better than a well-trained little devil, right? If it is said that the idea of underestimating the enemy in the Yellow River and Henan Garrison Corps generally exists, the root cause lies in himself, and this responsibility cannot be shirked, and he has already sent a telegram to the division commander Tang Qiuli asking for punishment, asking the division commander to remove him from the post of corps commander.

At the same time, in his capacity as corps commander, he signed an order to dismiss the commander of the Third Regiment of the Fourth Brigade and send it to the Investigation Department of the Division Headquarters, where the deputy regiment commander took over the post of regiment commander.

From the Bloody Hand Regiment to the Independent Division, Han Tie has experienced all the battles, even in the Northeast, in the face of the superior strength of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army, the troops have not been annihilated by the formation, but such a thing happened to his own corps, which happened in the case of the strength of the troops and the elimination of hundreds of thousands of Japanese devils, every time he thought of this, Han Tie's heart was as painful as a knife, and he couldn't forgive himself.

Tang Qiuli, who had just rushed back to Zhengzhou, had just gotten off the plane, and before he could sit down, Mei Xue hurriedly sent three telegrams, one was the telegram of Gu Dashan forwarded by Han Tie, one was the telegram of the annihilation of the entire battalion, and the other was the telegram of Han Tie's request for dismissal.

Tang Qiuli had the same idea as Han Tie, a fully equipped battalion was annihilated, this is the history of the independent division into the army, there has never been a Yan zhòng incident, however, the telegram sent by Gu Dashan before his death attracted his attention even more, the bandits in Shandong have changed their nature, and there are Japanese spies behind them.

Relying only on the existing troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to quickly complete the task of suppressing bandits, and the death of the entire battalion angered Tang Qiuli, and he decided to increase the number of troops on a large scale in Shandong.
