Chapter 319: Horse Bandits

In 1936, the Red Army had no contact with the Japanese, and in the name of resisting Japan, they fought tens of thousands of miles and settled in northern Shaanxi in the northwest.

I don't know what the Japanese look like, let alone Japanese weapons.

At the end of 1935 and the beginning of the third or sixth year, the Red Army began its eastward crusade, which can also be said to be a strategic trial, and the result was that the Red Army crossed the Yellow River eastward and entered Shanxi, which touched the fundamental interests of Yan Xishan.

also changed the purpose of never allowing other forces to get involved in Shanxi, gritted his teeth and let the 16 divisions of the Central Army under Chairman Jiang enter Shanxi.

Chairman Jiang had long coveted the territory of Shanxi, which could not be penetrated by the water, and wanted to doze off and sent a pillow, and immediately formed a westward march to suppress the communist corps at the fastest speed, and rushed to Shanxi in a mighty way.

Chief Yan was forced by the shape of shì, and seeing that his subordinates were losing the battle, he wanted to find a helper to help him, and the two hit it off.

On the east bank of the Yellow River at the junction of Shanxi and Shanxi, the ** Red Army and Chief Yan's Jin army were inseparable, with rivers of blood and corpses all over the field, and Chief Yan's Jin army had never encountered such an opponent.

The Central Army Brigade of Chairman Chiang was killed, and the shape turned sharply, which was extremely unfavorable to the Red Army, and the Red Army took advantage of it, unscathed, and the whole division retreated, winning a triumphant victory, known as the First Eastern Crusade in history.

Chief Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally blocked these Red Communists from his home, but he immediately had a headache again, and believed in an old saying, "It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God"

He had to rack his brains and think hard about how to send the 16 divisions of Chairman Chiang out of Shanxi, and looking at the posture of the Central Army, he wanted to stay in Shanxi for a long time under the pretext of suppressing the Communists.

From then on, Chief Yan had a pathological suspicion of the Central Army, until the smoke of the Anti-Japanese War suddenly broke out, and under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the entire territory of Shanxi soon fell, and Chief Yan did not expect the Central Army to help him regain his territory.

He thought of ** again, and started the Shanxi New Army, called it the Anti-Enemy Death Squad, and Chief Yan played the trick of maneuvering between the National, Communist, and Japanese forces, and he himself called this image dancing on three eggs.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhidan, one of the founders of the Shaanxi-Gansu Base Area, deputy director of the Northwest Military Committee, commander of the Wayaobao garrison of the Central Garrison, commander-in-chief of the Red Army's North Road, and commander of the Red 28th Army, was unfortunately shot and died at the age of 33 when he was commanding the battle on the front line.

Regarding Liu Zhidan's sacrifice, there are different opinions in historical materials, and the most sensational thing is that there is a saying that the leader at that time, in order to eradicate dissidents, pretended to use the hand of Yan Xishan to remove the originator of the Shaanxi-Gansu base area, so as to eliminate its threat to the central government and establish the actual leadership position of the central government.

All this, anyway, from then on, the soldiers of the Red Twenty-eighth Army were red when they saw the Jin army, and hated Cheng Dù for the Jin army of Commander Yan, surpassing the Central Army, the sworn enemy of the Red Army.

And the Red 25th Army did not have this kind of bitter hatred, strictly speaking, they were also outsiders, and they all borrowed a treasure to settle down.

In comparison, Tang Qiuli did not have too much psychological burden when dealing with Xu Haidong's Red Twenty-fifth Army.

Looking at the expressions of Regiment Commander Wu and the Red Army soldiers, with hot eyes and puzzled expressions, he motioned to the mountain tigers that he could demonstrate live ammunition shooting, and also to remind these Red Army soldiers that we are not without the ability to resist and are captured, just for the sake of cooperation, if we really want to fight, you may not be able to take advantage.

Shanhu understood what Tang Qiuli meant, this was to make him strong and strong, and he didn't speak, his eyes patrolled for a week, and found that there was a big tree with a bowl mouth outside the courtyard, which was more than a thousand meters away from his current location, and in the night, he could only see a rough outline.

This does not affect the mountain tiger, he closed his eyes, and at night, he could use the terrifying guy in his hand to extinguish the candle a thousand meters away, such a thick tree, it is even more pediatric.

Suddenly, like a kind of wind blowing on the flat ground, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in the unguarded situation of the people, and in the night, the orange flame of the muzzle of the gun erupted a foot long, bewitching and dazzling.

The gunfire stopped, the echo floated over Jintang Town, and at the feet of the mountain tiger, there were no less than hundreds of bullet casings that were still scorching, and the big tree with the thickness of the bowl mouth slowly fell down, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

This scene stunned these Red Army soldiers, including Regiment Commander Wu, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses, and beads of sweat on Regiment Commander Wu's head suddenly appeared.

He understands the purpose of the mountain tiger too well, if he really fights just now, with the big guy in the hands of this big man, his own soldiers, there are not hundreds of lives, not enough to feed the bullets, not counting these thirty German-made original shell guns, just this big man alone, can cripple a reinforced regiment of himself.

Several Red Army soldiers who ran to see the big tree ran back with strange expressions and reported to Regiment Commander Wu that all the bullets had hit the big tree, and the big tree was interrupted by the waist, and not a single bullet that missed the target was found.

Looking at Tang Qiuli's eyes, there was a fundamental change, he completely believed in Tang Qiuli's sincerity, and had no intention of clashing with himself at all, I was afraid that his troops would be discovered by them as soon as they arrived at the outskirts of the town.

As for this big man under his command, when he shot just now, the momentum of that moment actually made Commander Wu feel that a machine gun battalion was charging, and there was a big burden behind him, with the sensitivity of a soldier, it should be all bullets, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of rounds, and Commander Wu still has eyesight.

And this big man's accuracy in shooting at night, using such a heavy big guy as if it were nothing, he absolutely believed that the mountain tiger could shoot a single shot of a rifle with a heavy machine gun, and there was no missing shot.

He said to Tang Qiuli very politely: "Mr. Qiu, please wait in Jintang Town, I will report to the army commander as soon as I go back, and arrange for you to meet, what happened tonight is a misunderstanding, because the Ma Jiajun from Ningxia and Gansu often come to harass us, and we have to guard against it." ”

After speaking, he gave Tang Qiuli a military salute and left with his subordinates, but he didn't say a word about the thirty shell guns, and he definitely smiled, for the Red Army troops, who have always been extremely poor, these shell guns can be said to be priceless treasures, cheeky, and reluctant to spit out the fat in their mouths again.

It was bright and the early residents gathered around the big tree that had been beaten by a bullet from the mountain tiger, and they were talking a lot, and from time to time pointing to the inn, arguing whether the big tree had been knocked down by lightning or whether it was the tree that had been hit by the gunfire last night.

The innkeeper was even more attentive and waited carefully, as if what happened last night had nothing to do with him at all, but when he looked at Tang Qiuli's eyes, he was a little evasive, revealing his inner feelings.

Tang Qiuli was still so indifferent, pretending not to know the reason for the matter, and did not demolish the boss, these people must have their reasons and reasons for doing this, why should they embarrass an ordinary person.

He told the mountain tiger that in addition to the money for the house and the meal, he would give the boss an extra 200 yuan and let him get some good food for the soldiers.

This time, obviously out of the boss's expectations, two hundred yuan is now in the ocean, in this place, not to mention the food of more than thirty people, even if you buy his inn, take most of the town with it, and you are rich.

Holding the white flowers, the boss's face suddenly had a look of shame, his lips squirmed a few times, as if he had something to say to Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiuli smiled at him and shook his head gently.

The boss understood everything at once, he knew everything about the daring lover, and he didn't mean to blame himself at all, and the commander of the Red Army didn't do anything to others, which proved that this group of strangers was not a bad person.

It's his own heart, but the boss has no regrets about his own behavior of reporting the Red Army, he does this in order to repay the Red Army's kindness to himself, and now, this foreigner boss is so good to himself, he ponders how to repay others, this is the uprightness of the Northwest man, and he will repay his kindness.

By noon, there was no notice from the Red Army, and Tang Qiuli was pondering in the room when the radio station carried by the special guards suddenly received an urgent telegram for help from the special operations detachment responsible for protecting Professor Ouyang and his group of scientists.

In the telegram, the commander of the special operations detachment said that he was originally scheduled to meet the division commander in Wuqi County, and according to the original plan, Professor Ouyang and his entourage could rush to Wuqi County this morning.

Just as he was about to return, Professor Ouyang suddenly discovered an important geological situation, involving the specific drilling location of the oil well, and the old man's twisting came up again, saying that he didn't understand the reason, and he had no shame to see Commander Tang, and he was ashamed of his trust in him.

In this way, the exploration team did not return to Wuqi as planned, and worked overnight, just when the work was over and was about to return, it was suddenly attacked by an unknown group of armed men, the number of which was about 1,000 people.

The special operations detachment covered the exploration team members and retreated while fighting, holding on to a dangerous terrain and waiting for reinforcements; now, we have repelled several attacks by the other side, and there are not many ammunition left, and there have been casualties, and the shape is extremely critical.

According to the location provided by the leader of the special operations detachment, Tang Qiuli spread out the map and quickly determined the location of Professor Ouyang and them.

Ouyang taught them that now in the Yanchi area north of Dingbian County, where there are salt-alkali flats everywhere, there is not too much dangerous terrain, and it is far away from their current position, if the reinforcements cannot arrive in time, the exploration team and the special operations detachment will be in danger of being wiped out.

The situation is complex and dangerous, this team is no less than a national treasure in Tang Qiuli's eyes, facing a test of life and death.
