Everything in the world is relative, and when you own something, others will have it.

Elder Wei hurriedly left from the blacksmith shop with his comrades, and then chased in the direction of Captain Cui's retreat and entered the night.

Besides, Adjutant Zhan, who had been evacuated to Dingzhou County for treatment, had just asked a Western doctor to take out the bullet in his right thigh and rest in the ward, when there was a knock at the door, and the guard walked in with Deputy Head Zhuang.

When Adjutant Zhan saw someone coming, he desperately struggled to get up from the bed, and the deputy head of the regiment hurriedly came to the bed, held him down and said, "Brother Zhan, don't move, you just had major surgery, don't move!" ”

"What happened to the results of the battle on Mao'er Mountain?"

The guard brought a chair and asked the deputy commander to sit down.

Zhuang Yongde picked up an orange, peeled it slowly, stuffed a petal of orange into Adjutant Zhan's mouth, and then said: "The mountain of Maoer Mountain has been bombarded by our artillery, but the remains of the enemy have not been found, and it is estimated that the bones of the bombed are gone!" ”

Adjutant Zhan hurriedly swallowed the orange in his mouth, and said with certainty: "It is absolutely impossible, no matter how powerful the cannonball is, it is impossible to blow up a person's bones without leaving a trace, the foreigner among the red bandits must be caught, otherwise Meng Tuanzuo will die in vain!" ”

His eyes showed a pained expression, and his fists clenched.

Zhuang Yongde hurriedly pressed his arms and said: "That foreigner, I also heard from my subordinates, it is a missionary from Germany, I will let people find out the origin of this foreign monk, and you can recuperate in the hospital with peace of mind!" ”

Adjutant Zhan nodded in response, and after seeing Zhuang Yongde leave, he called the guard Huang Xu and ordered: "Old Huang, I have a very important matter that you need to do for me now?" ”

Huang Xu, who had a scar on the corner of his mouth, hurriedly answered: "Adjutant Zhan, if you have any important matter, I will definitely do my best to do it?" ”

Adjutant Zhan grabbed a silver lock necklace from under his neck and handed it to Huang Xu, and said in a low voice: "You take this necklace and go to Fujizhuang outside Boren's store to find a Miao man named Tang Ji Moke, give him the necklace, and ask him to come to see me!" ”

Huang Xu put away the necklace and nodded in agreement.

Adjutant Zhan said again: "I am likely to be promoted to deputy regimental commander, and you will be my adjutant in the future!" ”

After Huang Xu heard this, a pair of big eyes immediately let out a light, and quickly put their feet together in front of the hospital bed, and saluted with a "snap".

After leaving the county-run hospital, he immediately returned to the regimental headquarters, received a fast horse from the quartermaster, brought dry food and water, and left the station.

In the command post of the regiment headquarters, after Zhuang Yongde received a phone call, he immediately said to the guards: "Hurry up and assemble the team, there is a guerrilla force of the Communist Party outside Xiangfu Town!" ”

The guard immediately picked up the phone and gathered the officers of the teams below, Zhuang Yongde searched for the specific location of Xiangfu Town on the map, and found that it was in the northeast of Mao'er Mountain.

It didn't take long for Deputy Battalion Commander Guo of the First Battalion and Battalion Commander Ke of the Second Battalion to rush back to the regiment headquarters and see Zhuang Yongde.

Zhuang Yongde held his head high and said: "I just received instructions from my superiors, Commander Meng unfortunately died in his duties, and a contemptible person will take over the position of regiment commander, but I will definitely avenge Commander Meng, the two battalion commanders tell me how your respective tasks have been completed?" ”

Battalion Commander Guo looked at Battalion Commander Ke with a tired face.

Battalion Commander Ke reported: "Report to the regiment, my subordinates were ordered to lead the team to the south side of Mao'er Mountain to pursue the red bandits, but there was no trace of the red bandits, we have chased to Shuangdian Town, and then Hengshui County, so we retreated." ”

Zhuang Yongde nodded in response, and looked at Camp Commander Guo.

Battalion Commander Guo hurriedly reported: "My subordinates led people to dig up the gravel of the cave on the top of Mao'er Mountain, and found a cave with a fierce beast hidden in the cave, but let this beast escape, but we have blown up the cave!" ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Yongde said angrily: "What will you waste do, even a fierce beast let it escape!" ”

Battalion Commander Guo nodded hurriedly yes, took out a pack of Hademen cigarettes from his pocket, lit them for Zhuang Yongde, Zhuang Yongde slowly spit out a puff of smoke rings, and then said: "Forget it, since we haven't found the remains of the red bandits, let's remove the people, we are going to Xiangfu Town to continue to suppress the bandits." ”

"Xiangfu Town, isn't that the territory of Hengshui?"

Zhuang Yongde responded: "That's not still Hunan's territory, what nonsense, hurry up and assemble the team, we are ready to pull!" ”

Ordinary soldiers are on foot and on horseback in good conditions, but in case of emergency, trucks are also a means of transportation.

Zhuang Yongde and the guards rode in military jeeps, and the remaining soldiers rode in three military trucks, and the regular army of bandits rushed towards Xiangfu Town.

Just when he was about to arrive at Xiangfu Town, Zhuang Yongde saw a guy riding a horse in front of him in the jeep, and the guard next to him said: "Tuanzao, isn't this the guard Lao Huang next to Adjutant Zhan?" ”

Zhuang Yongde asked the driver to honk his horn to stop, and his guard stopped Lao Huang, who was riding a horse in front.

The two guards chatted, and Huang Xu said: "I was entrusted by Adjutant Zhan to go to Borendian to find someone, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhuang Yongde's guard replied: "There is a red bandit in Xiangfu Town, and we are here to suppress the bandits!" ”

After the two guards said goodbye, Zhuang Yongde asked the driver to continue to catch the car, and then asked the guard: "Adjutant Zhan's hometown is from Borendian?" ”

His guard hurriedly said: "Adjutant Zhan is from Yongping, but he lived for a while in Fujizhuang in Borendian, where Han and Miao mixed lived. ”

The Kuomintang army soon surrounded Xiangfu Town.

Zhuang Yongde ordered: "Arrest all the suspicious people in the town for interrogation, and you must not let go of a suspicious person!" ”

There was chaos in the town of Xiangfu, chickens and dogs jumping, children crying, women barking, and the soldiers went from house to house to bring all the men out of the town.

The elder Wei and his party, who were about to continue their journey immediately in the big car shop, were also blocked in the store by the sudden arrival of the enemy, and he hurriedly signaled to his companions not to be nervous, but these enemies directly caught them in the open space outside the town.

Elder Wei closed his eyes and saw a senior officer sitting in a jeep behind the enemy, who seemed to have seen him on Mao'er Mountain.

Sun Deqiang and Pang Hutou also saw Battalion Commander Guo and Battalion Commander Ke, and immediately signaled to Elder Wei, and Xiao An also lowered his head in fright.

The enemy's method of finding out the "red bandits" is very stupid, that is, to arrest all the men in a place, and then let the land guards in the town come and take the people.

As outsiders, the hearts of the elders Wei and their hearts tightened, and if they continue like this, they will definitely be recognized by the enemy.

Elder Wei took out his passport, and now he can only try his luck.

Zhuang Yongde walked out of the jeep, came to the front of the elder Wei, picked up a flashlight and shone it, and then asked: "You are not locals, are you?" ”

Xiao An wanted to speak, but the elder Wei rushed to say: "I am a German missionary, these are my believers!" ”

As soon as Zhuang Yongde heard the "German missionary", his eyes immediately lit up, and he waved his hand to signal his soldiers to pick up their guns.
