Yanjia Town, the headquarters of the puppet army Longkou mixed brigade.

Yan Wei Xinxing rushed into Yan Sanquan's office and reported: "Big brother, the people we sent to Laolonggou are back, Niu Sigen's attitude has softened significantly compared to last time, let's make some concessions, this old boy should let go." ”

"Make some more concessions? How else can you give in? Yan Sanquan didn't have a good air, "Lao Tzu let him be the brigade commander?" ”

"Of course not, let him be the brigade commander, even if you are willing to agree, Fujido Gaoying will never agree." Yan Weixin shook his head and said, "However, eldest brother, you can make some concessions in the establishment, you might as well promise Niu Sigen, as long as he is willing to vote, give him a reinforcement regiment." ”

"Reinforcement regiment?" Yan Sanquan frowned and asked, "Will the tail not fall off?" ”

The puppet army Longkou Mixed Brigade is nominally a brigade, but now it is actually only a battalion of troops, if Niu Sigen really throws over with the strength of a regiment and gives him a reinforced regiment, Yan Sanquan can't help but worry, Niu Sigen will stand on his own in the Longkou Mixed Brigade and fight in the ring with him Yan Sanquan.

Yan Sanquan wants to establish his own team and speak confidently in front of the Japanese, which is true, but this does not mean that Yan Sanquan wants to cultivate an opponent.

"Big brother, you won't pull a few battalion commanders under the four cages in private?" Yan Weixin smiled and said, "As long as you can afford the price, there is no one who can't be bought, I don't believe it, Niu Sigen's people are really monolithic." ”

Yan Sanquan was suddenly startled when he heard this, and then smiled again and said: "Restoration, our brothers have to work together."

"Big brother, what are you talking about?" Yan Weixin said unhappily, "What kind of person am I, don't you know?" ”

"Clear, hehe, of course it's clear, big brother is joking with you." Yan San patted Yan Weixin on the shoulder, and said, "The matter of Niu Sigen, the eldest brother will be left to you to deal with it all." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I'll get things done properly."

Laolonggou, the 19th detachment regiment station.

Xu Shijiu and Niu Sigen had a secret conversation at the regiment headquarters for four hours, and it was not until after midnight that the closed firewood door was reopened.

Niu Sigen left Xu 19 to have supper at the regiment headquarters, and then personally sent Xu 19 out of the mountain pass, and specially transferred a platoon from the guard company to escort Xu 19 back to the headquarters.

sent Xu 19 away, and Niu Sigen also stood at the mountain pass and was reluctant to return to the regiment headquarters.

3 Battalion Commander Niu Yutang couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what did Xu Shijiu tell you?" ”

Battalion commander Wang Fusheng also asked: "Is it about disbanding the troops, you didn't agree, did you?" ”

"If that's not the case, don't guess." Niu Sigen's mind looked a little trance-like, and it seemed that he hadn't broken free from the emotions just now, Niu Yutang and Wang Fusheng were even more curious, what did Xu Shijiu say?

Niu Yutang asked again: "Big brother, then tell me, what did Xu Shijiu tell you?" ”

"What else can you say?" Niu Sigen muttered, "It's nothing more than the rise and fall of the country, the righteousness of the clan or something, Xu Shijiu seems to have noticed that we are in contact with the people of Yan Sanquan in private, but there is no intention of tearing his face." ”

"What, Xu Shijiu has already found out?" Niu Yutang was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Big brother, then let's hurry up and turn back, maybe now Xu Shijiu has already transferred troops over to deal with us, and it was just his delaying tactic just now." ”

"A delaying tactic? Can't you? Niu Sigen said no, but his tone was not so sure.

"Probably so." Wang Fusheng also said, "Tuanza, without further ado, if it is late, there will be changes, hurry up and turn the water."

"Isn't it too urgent to turn back on the water now?" Niu Sigen couldn't make up his mind all of a sudden, firstly, Xu Shijiu treated him well, and secondly, he didn't trust Yan Sanquan very much, don't break away from the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army at that time, Yan Sanquan changed his hexagram again, then he really didn't even have a place to stay.

"Big brother, what are you still hesitating about?" Niu Yutang was in a hurry.

"Yes, Tuanza, hurry up and give the order." Wang Fusheng also said.

"It's really anti-water?" Niu Sigen looked at Niu Yutang and Wang Fusheng inquiringly, and seeing the two nodding, Niu Sigen finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Okay, pass my order, and the whole group will gather urgently."

After Xu Shijiu left Laolonggou, he did not return to Heilongzhai, but went to Qinglongzhai again.

Li Shuanggun's 3rd Regiment and Lu Jianbang's 4th Regiment were stationed in Qinglongzhai, and when Xu 19 arrived at Qinglongzhai, it was just dawn, and the officers and soldiers of the two regiments were doing morning exercises on the big playground.

Xu Shijiu immediately summoned the officers and soldiers of the two regiments to announce his decision.

After listening to Xu Shijiu's words, Li Shuanggun and Lu Jianbang were dumbfounded, and the two thousand officers and soldiers on the scene also looked at each other.

"Captain, what do you say?" Lu Jianbang pulled Xu 19 to no one and said, "This matter is clearly a trap set by Little Japan, the purpose is to disintegrate our 19th detachment, how can we fall for them?" No, you must take back what you just said, and you must not let anyone go. ”

"Lao Lu, I can understand your feelings." Xu Shijiu sighed, "But have you ever thought about it, if we rely on discipline to force the brothers to stay, can they be happy?" If little Japan is angry and really kills the relatives of the brothers, can the brothers not resent us in their hearts? ”

Li Shuanggun followed and said: "I also agree with the captain's opinion, as the old saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, if the brothers really have the idea of leaving, even if we can keep them, we can't keep their hearts, instead of resenting each other, we will treat each other as hatred in the future, it is better to be a favor, and we will see each other in the future." ”

Lu Jian helped: "But have you thought about it, everyone is gone, and there are not a few people left in our nineteenth detachment."

"If there is no cohesion, even if many people get together, what kind of combat power can they have?" Li Shuanggun said.

"Then there's really no way to get it back?" Lu Jianbang said angrily, "Knowing that this is a conspiracy of Little Japan, we can only jump in with our eyes open?" ”

"There's no way, little Japan hit us in the soft underbelly." Li Shuanggun muttered, "However, then again, the brigade commander of the 14th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade, Fujido Gaoying, this old devil is really not a good stubble, we have suffered several big losses under him." ”

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said, "You guys go and arrange it." ”

Li Shuanggun and Lu Jianbang agreed, and when they were about to turn around to screen the troops, Yang Dashu, the commander of the guard battalion, suddenly ran in from outside the gate of the cottage out of breath, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted at Xu Shijiu out of breath: "Commander, come out, something happened." ”

There have been enough things in the past two days, Xu Shijiu was already a little numb, and he stepped forward in a hurry and asked, "Da Shu, you said slowly, what happened again?" ”

"Anti-water" Yang Dashu took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Niu Sigen has taken a group of anti-water"

"What?"

"The four cows are anti-water?"

Li Shuanggun and Lu Jianbang suddenly changed their faces.

Xu Shijiu's face also became gloomy like water in an instant, and Niu Sigen finally turned back.

Li Shuanggun couldn't help but say, "Captain, didn't you just go to Laolonggou yesterday, didn't you just talk to Niu Sigen?" Why is he backing up today? ”

"Hey, what's the use of talking about this now?" Lu Jianbang didn't have a good temperament, "I'm going to gather the troops and destroy this treacherous bastard." ”

After that, Lu Jianbang turned around and left.

"Old Lu, come back." Xu Shijiu stopped Lu Jianbang and sighed, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, since Niu Sigen feels that there is no future in our nineteenth detachment, then let him go." ”

"What do you say, let him go?" Lu Jianbang was anxious, "Captain, this is not a parting of ways, Niu Sigen, this bastard is going to take refuge in Little Japan as a traitor"

Li Shuanggun also said: "Captain, I also think that this matter can't be left like this, Niu Sigen must be caught, otherwise if this matter spreads, what is the face of our nineteenth detachment?" ”
