On the morning of the next day, Feng Kaishan really sent 50,000 oceans and 100,000 catties of grain to the regimental headquarters of the security regiment, along with 200 shell guns, 20 light machine guns and some ammunition.

Except for the 100,000 catties of grain, which was paid by the county's taxes, the rest were all Feng Kaishan's own things. Xinghe County is not a big county in the first place, the population of the county is less than 200,000, and the annual taxes collected are limited.

Therefore, the previous security regiment was the number of the regiment, but the actual establishment was only a reinforced battalion, and there were only more than 600 people including the regiment commander, so they were all killed by the horse bandits at once.

Chen Feng set his prey on the Japanese from the beginning, so he would only think that he had few soldiers, and he would never do anything like empty salary. Fifty thousand oceans is indeed a lot, but 100,000 catties of grain is not much, take the more than 1,100 people of the security regiment as an example, one pound of grain per person a day, ten days is 11,000 catties, and these 100,000 catties of grain are only three months' rations of the security regiment.

Besides, Chen Feng's food standard for the troops is more than one pound of grain per person per day, whether it is the security regiment in the county town or the troops on Daqingshan, they have to kill a fat pig every day, and they work hard to make white flour buns, except that they can't drink alcohol and make money, the soldiers' lives are much better than those of other troops, and 100,000 catties of grain may not be able to support three months.

However, Chen Feng knew that Feng Kaishan had tried his best, he had already inquired before, and there were less than 150,000 catties of grain left in the county's warehouse, and it was already very good that Feng Kaishan could take out 100,000 catties at once.

The last time he went to Beiping to buy weapons and equipment, Chen Feng wanted to get a batch of pistols, but unfortunately the Germans happened to be out of stock, which made Chen Feng very depressed, but he didn't expect the Feng family to have so much inventory.

Chen Feng really doesn't know much about the Feng family, he doesn't know that the Feng family is not a small family, although Feng Kaishan is obsessed with official careers, but the Feng family also has people in business, the Feng family's tea and salt almost monopolize all the salt and tea trade in the Xilin Gol grassland, although the Feng family's gun team is not as many as the Chen family, but the weapons and equipment are very sophisticated, so Feng Kaishan can take out so many guns and ammunition at once.

For the remaining two days, Chen Feng stayed in the army, taking the security regiment to do tactical drills, and fighting with the cavalry, first of all, he could not be frightened by the momentum of the cavalry charge. Therefore, every day Chen Feng asked the Chen family food protection team to ride a war horse in front of the security regiment to charge repeatedly, at the beginning, some of the regiment members turned around and ran when they saw the oncoming war horse, and some people were directly paralyzed in fright, and they couldn't even run.

But after repeated drills, the regimental soldiers finally overcame their fear of war horses. Then Chen Feng took them to do a blocking drill, the best weapons to deal with the cavalry are undoubtedly light and heavy machine guns and mortars, the security regiment was originally equipped with 18 light and heavy machine guns and two mortars, as long as the cavalry of the horse bandits did not exceed 2,000 people, it was enough.

Moreover, Chen Feng had already inquired clearly from the mouths of those who had fled from the Feng family, the number of horse bandits was not very large, about a thousand people, and the leader was a woman with a flower-faced mask.

Thinking of what Zhou Tiedan said last time, Chen Feng could be sure that this horse bandit must be the same force as the horse bandit who attacked Li Deguang's department.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Chen Feng immediately transferred three more mortars from Daqing Mountain, and then equipped the 20 light machine guns sent by Feng Kaishan to the troops. A full 38 light and heavy machine guns and 5 mortars, such powerful firepower, not to mention a group of ordinary horse bandits, even if they encounter the same strength of the old Chiang Central Army or the Japanese army, they all have the strength to fight.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of March 23, 1937, the special operations squadron sent back the news that yesterday they had discovered the old nest of this horse bandit in Duanjia Village, Saiwusu.

There were quite a few horse bandits, more than 1,400 people, each with two good horses. And the races are not the same. In addition to the Han Chinese, there are also Mongolians and **, and even blonde foreigners have been found.

As for the bandits, the armament was also good, each man had a spear, and each of them was armed with a saber. But there were no light and heavy machine guns, and even less mortars.

After listening to the report of the special combat personnel, Chen Feng ordered the special combat team to rush to the Yushu Camp five kilometers north of Huangshi Cliff before them after the horse bandits had been pulled out, and take the sound of artillery as a signal.

In the early morning of March 24, 1937, Chen Feng set off with two infantry battalions of the Security Regiment, a cavalry company and a special operations team, leaving the guard company to garrison the county seat.

The cavalry company opened the way in front, and in order to prevent the cavalry of the horse bandits from sneaking up on the marching troops, Chen Feng put the cordon all the way to five kilometers away.

The journey was very peaceful, and the horse bandits did not expect Chen Feng to march in the middle of the night, so the security team arrived at Huangshi Cliff at three o'clock in the morning.

Huangshi Cliff is said to be a cliff, but in fact it is a few small dirt bags, but there are more than a dozen ups and downs, which is a little abrupt compared with the surrounding flat land, so the locals call it a cliff.

When the troops arrived at their destination, they did not have time to rest and immediately began to build fortifications. In order to block the group charge of the horse bandits, Chen Feng ordered the troops to build fortifications along the small earthen bag, and to build them on both sides of the main road, with the first battalion on the left and the second battalion on the right, and the special combat team with a sniper rifle to move freely. The cavalry company withdrew to the Elm Battalion, five kilometers away, before dawn to join up with the special operations squadron coming down from Daqingshan.

The fortifications built by the security corps are very distinctive and professional. Starting from the lower part of the small earthen bag, three lines of defense line were arranged, and the three lines of defense were connected by traffic ditches. Chen Feng placed an infantry platoon on each defense line, and also built an artillery position on the mountain bag, and marked all the artillery elements within five kilometers in front of him, waiting for the arrival of the horse bandits.

At 6 o'clock, when the sky was still bright, the cavalry in charge of guarding in front sent back the news that the figure of the horse bandit cavalry had been found fifteen kilometers north of the Huangshi Cliff.

Chen Feng ordered Chen Tiebao to immediately take two people to negotiate, and he must let the horse bandits hand over Feng Xiaochen before the war, otherwise who would be able to take care of her as a weak woman when the war started.

The leader of the horse bandits also sent more than a dozen people over to investigate the situation, and saw seven or eight hundred members of the security group standing on the dirt slope of the Huangshi Cliff, and the grass-green camouflage uniforms were very conspicuous in front of the black and yellow dirt slope.

Knowing that most of the security regiment's troops had arrived, the leader of the horse bandits simply released Feng Xiaochen and asked her to bring a letter to Chen Feng.

You don't need to look at Chen Feng to know what is written on this letter, it is nothing more than to ask the security team to surrender, otherwise what will happen.

Sure enough, when I opened the letter, the content inside was no different from what Chen Feng had judged. The leader of the horse bandits demanded that Chen Feng and the entire security regiment surrender immediately, and also said that the Huangshi Cliff, a few small hills with a vertical height of less than 50 meters, could not withstand the onslaught of the cavalry at all. Not long ago, they annihilated the security regiment of Xinghe County there, and she gave Chen Feng half an hour to think about it, and if Chen Feng did not surrender in half an hour, she would order the troops to attack.

"Brothers, the horse bandits of the dog day have asked us to lay down our arms and surrender to them. We are upright officers and soldiers, and they are bandits, and there have always been only bandits who surrendered to officers and soldiers. Chen Feng said loudly.

"Yes!"

"The commander is right, if you want to surrender, it is also them, the horse bandits who have suffered a thousand knives, to surrender to us, how can we surrender to them."

"Commander, you give the order, the brothers are ready, make sure that the group of dogs will not come back."

"Brothers, since everyone is unwilling to surrender, then aim all the guns and bayonets for Commander Ben, and beat him hard in a while, if anyone is cowardly, don't blame Commander Ben for not being merciful." Chen Feng said loudly again.

"yes, hit him shit."

"I don't believe it, so many machine guns and small steel cannons can't kill this group of bitches."

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers had risen, Chen Feng stopped talking and ordered the troops to prepare for battle.

The big leader of the horse bandits wears a flower-faced mask, and although he can't see what he looks like, he can tell from the way he dresses that he is a woman. Through the binoculars, seeing that there was no movement on the side of the security group for so long, the leader of the horse bandits understood that the security group did not plan to surrender.

The female bandit leader didn't speak, and with a wave of her hand, she pulled out the saber straddling her waist, and then pointed at the security guard on the small dirt bag.

With the movements of the female bandit leader, the horse bandits who followed behind also drew their sabers at the first time, and their movements were uniform, and they seemed to have a little momentum of a regular cavalry unit.

Chen Feng stared at the gang of horse bandits motionless on the hillside, and when he saw the horse bandits draw their sabers, Chen Feng ordered loudly: "The horse bandits are going to attack, prepare for battle, wait a while and listen to my orders, I said shoot you and you will fight again, do you understand?" ”

"Got it!" Everyone shouted in unison.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves shattered the tranquility of the early morning in the Saibei grassland, and the roar of the war horses and the roars of the knights, accompanied by the bright swords, were intertwined into a song of slaughter.

The bandits began to accelerate at a distance of three kilometers, and at this speed, they could rush under the small dirt bag in five minutes at most.

"Order the artillery to open fire immediately! After adjusting the shooting of Zhu Yuan, ten rapid fires! ”

"Yes!"

"Boom, boom, boom" five 80 mortars adjusted slightly to shoot Zhu Yuan, and then the artillerymen quickly stuffed shells into it.

Through the telescope, Chen Feng found that the effect of this shelling was not very ideal, although a large number of horse bandits were still killed and wounded, but it did not meet Chen Feng's expectation that at least one-third of the horse bandits' troops would be destroyed in the first round of shelling.

After the shelling was completed, Chen Feng found that the horse bandits had entered the firing range of light and heavy machine guns, but what made Chen Feng feel depressed was that someone shot before he could give the order, and everyone opened fire soon when they saw someone shooting.
