The situation in the bull's head mouth is already tense and on the verge of eruption.

More than 240 cavalry of the cavalry directly under the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui have been lined up in the wilderness at the entrance of Niutouzui Village, the whole cavalry formation is divided into three rows in front and back in the company, each row is more than 80 horses, all the cavalry are out of the sabre unsheathed, and the cold blade reflects a palpitating cold glow under the scorching sun.

At the entrance of Niutouzui Village, the officers and men of the guard battalion directly under the 40th Division were also facing the enemy, and a Makqin heavy machine gun plus two Czech light machine guns had been erected on the hastily built temporary fortifications, and the remaining officers and soldiers also raised their Zhongcheng, Hanyang-made, and even old sleeve rifles in their hands, and the muzzles of the black holes were all pointed at the cavalry outside the village.

Huang Baitao, Chen Shizhang, and the senior officers of the 40th Division all stood under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, with solemn expressions.

The thing that worried Huang Baitao the most finally happened, Huang Baitao originally wanted to safely transport this batch of materials to Jingmaolin before the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army reacted, but now it seems that the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army still found out, I have to say that Xu Shijiu's vigilance is really quite high.

"Master, what should I do? To fight or not to fight? The commander of the guard battalion ran over to ask Chen Shizhang for instructions.

For such a big matter, Chen Shizhang didn't dare to make a rash decision, and turned his head to look at Huang Baitao at the moment.

Huang Baitao waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You can't shoot, tell the brothers, close the insurance." ”

The guard battalion commander hurriedly went, and Chen Shizhang said to Huang Baitao again: "Military seat, do you want to ask the commander's department of the war zone?" ”

"Not yet." Huang Baitao waved his hand and politely refused, of course Huang Baitao could hear Chen Shizhang's extraneous meaning, Chen Shizhang's meaning was to report the situation here to the Theater Commander's Department, and whether to do it or not was decided by the Theater Commander's Department, so that no matter what the result was, Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang would not be responsible.

But Huang Baitao thought deeper than Chen Shizhang, he knew very well that if the situation here was reported to the Chief's Department at this time, then with the suspicion between Gu Zhutong and Xu Shijiu, Gu Zhutong would definitely give the order without hesitation, because Gu Zhutong could give Xu Shijiu a hat for robbing friendly soldiers' materials, and he would be able to stand up to the lawsuit in Chongqing.

But the problem is that Gu Zhutong only needs to use his mouth, and it is the officers and soldiers of the First Army who play with others.

At this stage, Huang Baitao never thought that his 25th Army would be able to defeat Xu Shijiu's Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, even if Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang had mobilized the entire First Group Army, and even the First Group Army was ready, but before that, the First Army needed to bear the wrath of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army first.

Perhaps, by the time the main force of the First Army and the First Army arrives, the First Army will already be able to revoke the number, Huang Baitao doesn't want to be a bare-bones commander, and then he will be transferred back to the Chief's Department as a senator.

What's more, from the bottom of his heart, Huang Baitao is not willing to fight this battle with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, everyone is Chinese, and the current enemy weishenme still wants to kill each other? Is there anything that can't sit down and discuss the quantity?

At the time of the stalemate, a horse came out of the opposite cavalry queue and approached on standard horse steps.

The officers and men of the guard battalion immediately reopened the safety again, and pointed their guns at the cavalry with black holes.

"Don't be nervous, put down your guns" Huang Baitao stepped forward to stop the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion, he had already seen that the cavalry was definitely not here to provoke, because he didn't even bring a saber, so he came with empty hands.

Peng Wu rode his horse slowly to the entrance of the village, until he was less than ten meters away from the Makqin heavy machine gun that was erected at the broken wall at the entrance of the village, and then his eyes fell on Huang Baitao, who was standing under the old locust tree, and saluted on the horseback, and said loudly: "This commander must be the commander of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Huang Baitao and Huang Junzuo, right?" ”

Huang Baitao casually returned the military salute and said lightly: "Yes, it is contemptible." ”

Peng Wu put down his right hand and said solemnly: "Huang Junzuo, our commander asked me to bring you a message." ”

Huang Baitao thought that Xu Shijiu would never have anything good to say, but he still said: "Contemptible people listen to me." ”

Peng Wu stretched out his hand and pointed to the military supplies that were piled up behind Huang Baitao and had not yet had time to transport them, and said: "Our commander said that we have understood Huang Junzuo's kindness, and when this battle is over, our commander will definitely express it, but this batch of military supplies really doesn't need you to escort it, just leave it to us ourselves." ”

Chen Shizhang and several senior officers of the 40th Division sneered, thinking that this Xu Shijiu was really embarrassed to put gold on his face, and together with our 40th Division, Xingshi mobilized the crowd to come to Niutouzui to receive supplies, but it became a help for their anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui? It's ridiculous, he doesn't pee and take pictures of himself, just like him?

Huang Baitao's eyes narrowed slightly, Xu Shijiu asked this cavalry officer to carry the words, which sounded quite polite, but from the bones he was tough, the implication was that this batch of military supplies would never be touched by others, and now, Huang Baitao was afraid that it would be difficult to be good, but Huang Baitao still wanted to try it and see if he could convince this officer.

"Brother, I think you should know where these supplies came from, right?" Huang Baitao.

Peng Wu only looked at Huang Baitao expressionlessly, he really didn't know where these supplies came from.

Huang Baitao acquiesced to Peng Wu, and then continued: "This batch of materials was purchased from the Shanghai Public Concession by the military commander using a lot of manpower, material resources and risking the exposure of the entire transportation line. Of course, you got the money needed to buy the supplies, but that was also because the Military Command Bureau provided intelligence, so in any case, the military commanders are more qualified than you to dispose of this batch of military supplies, right? ”

Peng Wu still didn't say anything, because the order Xu 19 gave him was to stop the 40th Division and prevent the other party from transporting the military supplies, and nothing else was his business, as for how this batch of military supplies was obtained, how should they be distributed, and what does it have to do with him? What's more, Peng Wu was born in the old Red Army, and he was too lazy to bother with the Kuomintang army.

Seeing that Peng Wuli was too lazy to pay attention, Chen Shizhang, the commander of the 40th Division, became angry, stepped forward and said to Huang Baitao: "Junzao, what nonsense are you talking about with him as a small soldier?" Yu Crisp, just destroy it directly, I don't believe it, a mere cavalry battalion can still stop us? Xu Shijiu really thinks that the officers and soldiers of our 40th Division are all decorations?

Peng Wu's cold gaze turned in an instant, staring at Chen Shizhang.

Chen Shizhang's eyes lit slightly, and in an instant, he felt like he was being targeted by a fierce beast.

Huang Baitao waved his hand to stop Chen Shizhang, that's right, it's not a problem to destroy the cavalry battalion in front of him, the problem is that destroying this cavalry battalion is equivalent to a full-scale war with the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, and Huang Baitao is really unwilling to do this, and Xu Shijiu must have figured this out, so he dared to send a cavalry battalion to intercept the 40th Division.

"If the order goes down, no one is allowed to shoot, otherwise, they will be severely punished." Huang Baitao said with a cold face.

"Yes." Chen Shizhang could only take the order, turned around and gave the order.

(Dividing Line)

A few hundred meters away, the old cat and Yan Sanquan were hiding on the top of a small hill and watching this side from afar.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot," the old cat looked up at the binoculars, and said something in his mouth.

Of course, the old cat hopes that the two sides can fight, as long as the two sides fight, it will be difficult to end without seeing a life and death, and the two sides want to share a life and death is not a matter of one day or two, by that time, the reinforcements from Jiujiang and Hefei have already arrived, just annihilating both sides in one fell swoop, so that the task of intercepting materials will be successfully completed.

Yan Sanquan turned his head to look at the old cat, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Old Cat, why don't we help them?"

In the first gourd battle, Yan Sanquan once helped Niu Sigen, so that Niu Sigen and the 19th detachment of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui fell into a melee, however, in the end, it turned out that his move contributed to Fujitang Gaoying's trust in Niu Sigen, and Zuihou directly led to the fiasco of the second battle of Hulu Valley.

Today, though, Yan Sanquan doesn't mind adding another fire.

The old cat was also a little moved, but after thinking about it, he said: "It's daytime, it's difficult for our people to approach, even if we succeed in approaching, we may not be able to provoke trouble, let's wait until the evening, it's dark at night, it's easier to create chaos." ”

"Okay." Yan San said, "Then wait until the evening." ”
