Many fighters also noticed the movement on the other side, and the strings that had just been loosened in their hearts tightened again. Zhang Changgui roared: "Brothers, copy guys, prepare to fight!" ”

That army was obviously coming at them, and in that case, no camouflage would work, and it was better to fight with a real sword. Zheng Weiguo looked behind him and found that the soldiers were clenching the weapons in their hands one by one, and they did not flinch or look afraid, and they couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Generally speaking, the closer the army is to the base area, the greater the courage and confidence. Even third-rate troops can often burst out with the energy of a first-class army at their doorstep, such as the Jin Sui army in the Battle of Xinkou.

Now that they are about to enter the base area, the soldiers are in high spirits, and all the enemies who stand in front of them will be destroyed.

In the face of the enemy's approach, the flotilla continued to move forward without showing weakness. There is a Huitou Bay here, the water area is wide, Zhang Changgui took the opportunity to command the ships to disperse in order to exert the maximum firepower.

"Stop!" Zhang Changgui suddenly shouted, turned around and smiled: "Brothers, don't fight, it's your own people!" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled slightly, in fact, he had already discovered that it was a night owl's cavalry at the head.

Zhang Changgui also saw it and said, "Master, it's a night owl who has come to answer." ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "I recognized it a long time ago, I just wanted to see what your reaction was." "An army has a sense of rhythm, and those who are good at it can see it from afar.

Zhang Changgui rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master." So how many points can you score for my performance just now? ”

Now that they were out of danger, they felt as if they had thrown a large stone from their bodies, and they felt lighter and more brisk.

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "Sixty points can be counted as passing." ”

Zhang Changgui exaggeratedly said: "No, Shiza!" So what do you say you can do to get a perfect score? ”

Zheng Weiguo said lightly: "How can there be any perfect score for marching and fighting? ”

Zhang Changgui scratched his head, looking confused, obviously not understanding much. He looked up. Suddenly shouted: "Master." Look, Commander Meng is here too! ”

Zheng Weiguo was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Quick, stop the boat and dock!" ”

I didn't expect Commander Meng to come so far to greet him. really flattered Zheng Weiguo. His principles of life are: People respect me. I am respectful, and since the other party gives this kind of courtesy, of course he can't be rude.

Commander Meng jumped off his horse. shouted happily: "Brother Zheng, congratulations on your triumphant return!" ”

Zheng Weiguo also jumped to the shore with a brisk step, clasped Commander Meng's hand with both hands and said, "Brother Weiguo is here!" "The wooden boats and sailors who came back from Tianjin were all sent by Commander Meng. Without their help, it would be no problem for people to come back, and those boats of supplies would not have been so smooth.

Commander Meng said: "Ahem, who is with whom our brothers, what is there to thank you?" Besides, you don't know how much you can help us, so this little thing is nothing. ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "Brother Meng, I also want to congratulate you!" This time, you are in the three cities of Jizhong, and the whole of Tianjin knows the Tao. As he spoke, he pulled out a newspaper and handed it to him.

Commander Meng took a look and saw that it was all for the devil's soul, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is not my credit alone, Brigade Commander Duan is stubborn and persistent, and has made the most combat achievements!" ”

After Hejian and Xianxian, the Hebei guerrilla army stormed Fucheng again, connecting all the base areas on the first line in eastern Hebei, and the Japanese army could only shrink back to the Jinpu line in its entirety, and its morale was greatly damaged, and it no longer dared to move lightly.

Duan Shuanghu, Night Owl and several other senior officers surrounded him, saluted excitedly, and shouted, "Master!" ”

Zheng Weiguo patted them on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good job!" ”

The night owl offered a treasure as if he had brought a white horse, and said, "Master, I have captured a good horse, and I will give it to you as a mount!" ”

Zheng Weiguo looked at it and said in surprise: "It's no worse than the dark horse last time, where did you get it?" ”

The night owl said proudly, "Where else can I get it!" ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "I rarely ride a horse, and such a good horse will be wasted if it is placed here." So, you choose a battle hero from each cavalry unit and reward him with this BMW! ”

The night owl said, "No, the cavalry can't change horses all the time, otherwise there will be no tacit understanding between man and horse." ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Okay, it's too boring to take a boat all the way, just ride a horse to relax." He asked the warriors on the ship who would like to ride horses, and many of them were willing to come up. The cavalry was just the opposite, they were all northerners, and they rarely took boats, and they exchanged views with both sides.

Escorted by the cavalry, the ships returned to the base area without incident. Commander Meng also recruited the leaders of the Hebei guerrilla army to gather in the river and entertained Zheng Weiguo and his party. Of course, the donkey meat, the signature dish of the river, is indispensable. The soldiers smiled one by one, and their mouths were full of oil.

Before leaving, a squire sent a big flag to the 331st regiment, Duan Shuanghu was overjoyed, and was busy unfurling the flag in front of everyone.

Zheng Weiguo glanced at it, and saw that it was a totem of a tiger pounceing on a sheep, so he didn't care. Unexpectedly, everyone was stunned, and suddenly burst into laughter. It turned out that at first glance, the flag was a tiger pounced on a sheep, but in fact, it was a donkey, and it was just a donkey, but he was still wearing a steel helmet and had a unique Rendan beard of Japanese devils.

Director Xiong sneered and said, "Master, this time it's taken advantage of Brigade Commander Duan's wishes!" ”

Zheng Weiguoqi said: "How do you say it? ”

Director Xiong explained: "Isn't he always yelling that he can eat and fight? Look, it's all in this picture. ”

Zheng Weiguo couldn't help but laugh. In this picture, there is not only a mockery of their greed, but also admiration for them to kill the enemy and serve the country. I don't know which squire was so narrow and made such a joke.

Duan Shuanghu's skin was thicker than the corner of the city wall, and he immediately said that after the 331st regiment called the tiger pounced on the donkey group, it was good to kill the stupid donkey of the Japanese devil.

There is a feast in the world, after a day of rest. Zheng Weiguo gathered troops again and prepared to go south. In the past few days, Duan Shuanghu has successively gathered a lot of men and horses of the original 29th Army, and also exterminated some bandits, and the army has soared to 6,000 people, and the infantry battalion alone has been organized into six.

The troops were quickly assembled and ready to go. Director Xiong suddenly said, "Master, should we leave a battalion here?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Why? ”

Director Xiong said: "Won't the supplies from Tianjin come from here in the future?" You'll have to leave a force behind to take over! ”

Zheng Weiguo thought about it, although Commander Meng was refreshing, he couldn't keep bothering others! But if you want to keep the troops, what about logistics? Don't you want to make trouble for others?

After thinking about it, Zheng Weiguo decided to build an office in Jizhong. Another company was stationed there. In the future, the materials transported from Tianjin can be transferred here. Save the main force from running around all the time.

Director Xiong said, "Is there a company missing?" Anyway, you have to get a battalion, right? ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "We must reorganize into an army, and there is a great shortage of troops, so we can't draw it out anymore. However, it is possible to give them a sum of money to recruit locally. ”

Director Xiong nodded repeatedly. Say, "Hmm." It's a good idea! ”

After the arrangements are made. The troops continued southward. When I passed through Xian County, I happened to meet the Muslim Teaching Corps. When Captain Ma Benzhai heard that the troops were going south to fight, he hurriedly asked the brothers to pick twenty good horses.

Originally from after the resumption of the county. When they returned, they were especially hungry for the devil's big Yanma. Captain Ma inquired in many ways and learned that the Japanese army had built a horse farm outside Cangzhou City, so with the help of local Hui people, they attacked in disguise and came to a pot.

Zheng Weiguo wanted to refuse, after all, war horses were needed everywhere, but he still accepted them and gave them back to the Hui Teaching Corps fifty German-made fast and slow machines. There was nothing I didn't like about this gun at the time, and Captain Ma originally wanted to push it back, but he still laughed at it all after that.

Going south from central Hebei to southern Hebei, Wu Quanfu immediately returned with his newly recruited younger brother. Duan Shuanghu doubled his population this time, he was originally very proud, but who knew that Lu Dao was immediately dumbfounded when he saw the 341st regiment. Because there were 8,000 men, and the soldiers were strong and strong, not a single soldier was indiscriminately filled.

Zheng Weiguo was also very surprised, and said, "How did you recruit so many brothers? ”

Wu Quanfu called an officer and said with a smile: "Thanks to this Brother Zhao's help, how could you recruit so much?" ”

The officer hurriedly stepped forward with a standard military salute and said, "Humble Zhao Yunxiang, I've seen the division!" ”

Zheng Weiguo was so unhappy when he saw that this officer was carrying a bear's back, so he hurriedly returned a military salute and said, "Okay, good, good, welcome to join our 33 team." ”

Duan Shuanghu rubbed his eyes and shouted, "Huh! Yunxiang, I'm about to go to you! ”

Zhao Yunxiang looked back, happily hugged Duan Shuanghu and said, "Ha Luha, Shuanghu, didn't I come?" ”

The two laughed together, and told each other about the situation after separation.

After the defeat of the 29th Army in southern Hebei, Duan Shuanghu was unfamiliar with his life, so he ran to Tongping in a daze, and was recruited into the security regiment by Yu Laogen'er. The future events have been said before, so I will not repeat them here.

Zhao Yunxiang was also separated from the large army at that time. However, he had an extra heart, and he incorporated the separated brothers all the way, and finally entrenched himself near Nangong County. This guy is ambitious, and he has conquered many people in the east and west, and his team has expanded to nearly 4,000 people.

At that time, in addition to Zhao Yunxiang's people in Hebei, there was also a man named Duan Haizhou who also raised troops in Wuqiang, and later took Xian County, with a total strength of more than 6,000 people, and attacked the Japanese army's transport team many times, and the combat effectiveness was good.

Zhao Yunxiang looked at the heat in his eyes, and thought about incorporating this army. Duan Haizhou thought to himself, why should I listen to your command? So the two armies fought a battle in Xian County, but Duan Haizhou was defeated by Zhao Yunxiang, and a fiasco lost Xian County.

Just as Zhao Yunxiang was preparing to completely eliminate Duan Haizhou in one go, the Japanese army suddenly sent troops to Xianxian County, causing Zhao Yunxiang to fight with chickens and eggs.

What's even more unfortunate is that the eastward column of the Eighth Route Army drove into southern Hebei, and Duan Haizhou immediately led his troops to surrender. With the help of the Eighth Route Army, the situation on both sides was reversed at once.

Zhao Yunxiang felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly contacted to find a backer, and this search found the head of the 33rd Division. Originally, he was in contact with Duan Shuanghu, but Duan Shuanghu went to Jizhong, and Zhao Yunxiang couldn't wait, so he defected to Wu Quanfu, who was developing in southern Hebei.

Duan Shuanghu felt a loss, and said: "Shizuo, Yun Xiang used to be the deputy captain of the 29th Army Teaching Team, do you think you should count the people of our 331st Regiment?" ”

Wu Quanfu hurriedly said: "Brigade Commander Duan, you can't say that!" Brother Yunxiang is from Hebei, and he is still a fellow countryman with me, of course he is a member of the 341 regiment. Isn't it Yunxiang? ”

Zhao Yunxiang didn't know what to say for a while, on one side was the robe, on the other side was the fellow countryman, and he didn't want to offend anyone! So I had to say, "I, I listen to the teacher!" ”

So everyone looked at Zheng Weiguo in unison, waiting for him to decide. (To be continued......)
