Wang Haitao saw that Zhou Kui was standing up and saluting him, and he was also very interested in looking at Zhou Kui. This Zhou Kui is about 1.75 meters tall, not tall but gives people a feeling of being very strong. Standing there, the military posture is standard, and there is a soldier's appearance. Lin Yu was pleased to see that Wang Haitao was looking at Zhou Kui, so he introduced the origin of this Zhou Kui to Wang Haitao.

Only then did Wang Haitao understand that this Zhou Kui was originally a platoon commander of the 150th Division of the National Army, and because of his upright nature, he offended their battalion commander. After that, their battalion commander and several subordinates tricked Zhou Kui to a secluded place on the mountain to kill him. Zhou Kui relied on his good martial arts skills and escaped after breaking free from the binding. Their battalion commander led people to chase closely, and injured Zhou Kui during the pursuit, just when Zhou Kui saw that it was impossible to escape his life, Lin Yuxi led a team of people to pass by there after the mission, so Zhou Kui was rescued by Lin Yuxi. In order to repay the grace of saving his life, Zhou Kui defected to Lin Yuxi's security brigade.

At this time, Wang Haitao had already led the troops to leave, and Lin Yuxi had no support, so in order not to offend the people of the 150th Division, he could only let Zhou Kui hide in the security brigade. It was not until the 150th Division was transferred to Fanchang County that Lin Yuxi officially appointed Zhou Kui as the squadron leader of his squadron. At the beginning of last year, Wang Daoyuan, the magistrate of Jing County, was promoted to the mayor of Tongling City because of his meritorious service in defending the land, and the post of county magistrate of Jing County was recommended by Wang Yuanzhi to be held by Lin Yuxi.

After listening to Lin Yuxi's introduction, Wang Haitao knew more about this Zhou Kui, but Wang Haitao was even happier that Lin Yuxi became the magistrate of Jing County, which means that Jing County can still be controlled by himself. So Wang Haitao said to Lin Yuxi: "Yuxi, you have become the magistrate of Jing County, congratulations." ”

Lin Yuxi shook his head and said: "Junzuo, don't mention this county magistrate, there is the regiment commander of the 40th Division, I, the county magistrate, am really aggrieved, that kid is a cronie of their division commander, and he has the name of the Central Army, he never takes me as the county magistrate in his eyes, and he asks me for this and that all day long, and scolds me when I am not satisfied." It's better for me to be a county magistrate than to be a small soldier under the military seat. Junza, do you want to leave when you come back this time?"

Listening to Lin Yuxi's complaints, Wang Haitao's brows furrowed together, and after listening to Lin Yuxi's words, Wang Haitao did not answer his question, but asked: "Isn't the other party a regiment commander of the Central Army? Why are you, Lin Yuxi, so angry? Why are my Wang Haitao's subordinates so angry? He has soldiers, and your security brigade eats dry food?"

Seeing Wang Haitao's cold face and getting angry, Lin Yuxi was frightened and speechless for a while. And Zhou Kui interjected at this time and said: "Junzuo, you dissipate your anger first, and you don't blame County Magistrate Lin for this." The military seat didn't know that although the regimental commander Liu was only a regiment commander and had thousands of people under him, he had Chen Wu, the commander of the 40th Division, to support him. There are only six or seven hundred people in my county security brigade, and my arms can't twist my thighs, so County Magistrate Lin can only swallow his anger. ”

Wang Haitao thought about it carefully, Lin Yuxi really had no other way, no strength, no backing, unless he was not the county magistrate, he really had to swallow his anger. Thinking of this, Wang Haitao's face softened a little, and said: "It's a big deal not to be the county magistrate, and I don't have to suffer from this scumbag, I'm going to Jurong Base this time, passing through Jing County and entering the city to have a look, you guys are ready, when I go back to Longzhou, you all go back with me, don't want this Jing County." ”

Lin Yuxi saw that Wang Haitao's tone changed, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The military seat is here to go to the Jurong base this time, speaking of which, the Jurong base has been operating really well in the past two years, and has helped our security brigade many times, if we weren't afraid that we would leave, the people of Jing County would be harmed by this gang of central troops, and we would have gone to the Jurong base a long time ago." ”

Wang Haitao was surprised when he heard this, and asked: "Oh, Yuxi, you still have contact with the Jurong base, tell me how the Jurong base is now?" Lin Yuxi replied: "Junzuo, we haven't been to the Jurong base, but I know how to contact them." According to the information revealed by the contact, there are now six independent battalions under the independent regiment alone at the Jurong base, and the number of men and horses has reached 7,000. The weapons and equipment are all new weapons, not to mention the national army, even the small Japan in Jurong County dare not provoke them easily. ”

Lin Yuxi said that Wang Haitao did not expect this, after knowing the situation of the Jurong base, Wang Haitao wanted to rush to the Jurong base as soon as possible. Therefore, Wang Haitao said to Lin Yuxi: "Great, I didn't expect the Jurong base to develop like this." Yuxi, you immediately get in touch with the Jurong base and inform the Jurong base that I will arrive in the near future. ”

Lin Yuxi replied: "Please rest assured, I will immediately go and get in touch with the people at the Jurong base. After chatting for a while, when Lin Yuxi learned that Wang Haitao was also coming with hundreds of his subordinates, and these subordinates were resting outside Jing County, he repeatedly asked Wang Haitao to allow these men to also enter the city and rest in the city for a good night. Wang Haitao thought about it for a while, agreed, and sent two soldiers out of the city to inform Feng Zisheng to disperse into the city with the team. Zhou Kui also asked his subordinates to prepare to receive the soldiers entering the city.

In the evening, in order not to attract the attention of the people of the 40th Division, Lin Yuxi hosted a banquet for Wang Haitao and his subordinates at the station of the security brigade. In the evening, Wang Haitao and his entourage also stayed at the station of the security brigade. As soon as it was dawn the next day, Wang Haitao set off again as a team, and Lin Yuxi and Zhou Kui sent Wang Haitao and them out of the city before returning.

Wang Haitao has walked the road from Jingxian to Jurong Base several times, and he is also familiar. However, along the way, it is a national army defense area and a Japanese defense area, and the dogs and teeth are staggered. Wang Haitao: They are also very careful. Wei Changxing and his reconnaissance company have been in front to inspect the road situation. Wang Haitao and his entourage naturally did not take the main road, and on the way they still crossed the mountains and mountains, bypassed the towns and various checkpoints, and went straight to the Jurong base.

On this day, they finally arrived in Jurong County, and Wang Haitao calculated that it had been thirty-eight days since they left Longzhou City. As soon as it was dark, Wei Changxing and the reconnaissance team found the intersection where they had entered the base. As soon as Wei Xingxing and the others approached the intersection, they found a secret sentry ambushed near the intersection. In order not to cause misunderstanding, Wei Changxing ordered his men to stop advancing and immediately sent someone to report to Wang Haitao.

After receiving the report from Wei Changxing's subordinates, Wang Haitao immediately thought that the secret sentinel that could lurk at this intersection would have no one else except the people from the Jurong base. But for the sake of insurance, Wang Haitao ordered Wei Changxing to take only one reconnaissance team to take the initiative to reveal his whereabouts, and wait for the other party to communicate with the other party when he stepped forward, and the other soldiers were ready to meet Wei Changxing and others.

After receiving Wang Haitao's order, Wei Changxing took the initiative to show up with a reconnaissance team, and walked from the intersection to the direction of the base. Sure enough, as soon as they walked a few hundred meters inside from the intersection, several figures suddenly jumped out of their hidden positions and surrounded Wei Changxing and them with weapons. Wei Changxing and the others had already prepared, and looked at these people with both hands.

Seeing Wei Changxing, they raised their hands, and one of them took two steps forward and asked, "Who are you?" Wei Changxing replied: "I am Wei Changxing, the commander of the first regiment of the reconnaissance brigade of the 90th Army, are you from the base?" The man asked, "How do you prove yourself?"

Wei Changxing replied: "I have a military ID card in my pocket, I'll show it to you, and after speaking, he slowly took out the ID card from the pocket on his left chest and handed it over." The man took the certificate, turned on the flashlight and took a closer look, and then took a picture of Wei Changxing's face with a flashlight, after comparing the documents, this person believed in Wei Changxing's identity, and asked after returning the documents: "Commander Wei, there is a message from Jing County, saying that the military seat has come to our base in person, why didn't you see the military seat?"

Wei Changxing replied: "The military seat is at the back, let me come over and get in touch with you first." How do you know the military seat?" The man replied: "A few years ago, the military seat came to our base to inspect the base, and I was the guard of the commander of the reconnaissance battalion at that time, and I met the military seat with the battalion commander. That's why the battalion commander sent me to guard here so that we could welcome the military seat. ”

Wei Changxing sent one of his subordinates to report to Wang Haitao that he had contacted the base, and then waited with these people for Wang Haitao's arrival. After a while, Wang Haitao led the team over, and the person who asked Wei Changxing for questions looked at Wang Haitao carefully, obviously recognized Wang Haitao, hurriedly took a few steps forward, saluted Wang Haitao, and then shouted excitedly: "Report to the military seat, Zhang Shanwa, the platoon commander of the first company and platoon of the reconnaissance battalion of Jurong Base, is here to greet the military seat, please give instructions to the military seat!"

Wang Haitao returned the military salute with a smile, and then said: "The base got the news that I am coming?" Zhang Shanwa replied: "Report to the military seat, the commander-in-chief Tang of the base received a telegram from the military headquarters more than a month ago, and two days ago the liaison station of Jing County sent information that the military seat and his party had arrived in Jing County and would arrive at the base in the near future, so our battalion commander sent me here to greet the military seat and his party. ”

Wang Haitao nodded with satisfaction to Zhang Shanwa's answer, and then said to Zhang Shanwa: "Is Platoon Commander Zhang? Then you can lead the way, and we will rush to the base immediately." Zhang Shanwa stood up and said: "Yes, military seat! Military seat, there are still more than ten miles from here to the base, Commander Tang asked us to drive a few trucks, and the trucks are hidden in front, please take the military seat and go!"

Wang Haitao naturally would not refuse Tang Yisheng's kindness, and walked over to take a look, there were five trucks hidden in the bushes, the cars were a little less, but fortunately, the road was not far, everyone squeezed into the trucks, and then driven by Zhang Shanwa and the people he brought, several trucks drove along the mountain roads and went deep into the mountains. The car drove for nearly half an hour, and after turning a sharp turn, Wang Haitao saw the gate of the base in front of him.

At this time, the gate of the base was opened, the lights and torches illuminated the gate of the base, and the soldiers in the second row in front of the gate were neatly arranged on the left and right, and a group of people stood in front of the team. With the light of the car, Wang Haitao saw very clearly that the leader was Tang Yisheng, who he hadn't seen for several years. Standing on Tang Yisheng's left and right were Huang Guizhong, head of the base's independent regiment, and Jonas, director of the base's arsenal.
