Chapter 238: Betrayal (1)

"The owner of the village", a person from the snow wolf cottage, ran in and handed Qiao Han a letter. Qiao Han took it and looked at it, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, it seems that Xiao Yong has not changed, and he has not forgotten that he is Chinese. Qiao Han didn't hate Xiao Yong too much, and emotional problems ranked second in the eyes of these iron-blooded soldiers

Xiao Yong married Alyssa, but he no longer loved Miss emotionally, but this is not equivalent to betraying Snow Fox, after all, Xiao Yong did not marry Xue Ru, as long as he has Snow Fox in his heart and has not forgotten his identity as a Chinese, Qiao Han will not blame him too much.

But in the past few months, Qiao Han found that Xiao Yong was becoming more and more pompous, more and more enjoyable, and became vain, and a lot of money was given to Cadol, but Qiao Han felt that Xiao Yong wanted it himself. Miss was short of money, the Snow Fox Corps was reorganized, and a large amount of money and materials were urgently needed, but Xiao Yong didn't care about this, and kept proposing that Qiao Han and the money they got should be taken out and distributed to Cadol, otherwise the French would not be able to tolerate the existence of the Snow Wolf Cottage.

For this reason, Qiao Han asked Xue Ru, and the reply he received was to ask him to try his best not to fall out with the French. The time has not yet come, the snow fox cannot enter the territory of Vietnam in a big way, and Qiao Han's current strength alone cannot fight against the French army, after all, Qiao Han only has more than 2,000 people, or the Vietnamese and Chinese temporarily formed, just a few months of training, it is impossible to be the opponent of the French army.

Taylor John and the others are returning to China and are preparing the second batch of goods, and at the same time, Xue Ru promised that a batch of imported materials from the Nationalist Government in Haiphong will also be transported into the country through the Lang Son Highway, so this passage is very important and should not fall out for the time being.

Although Qiao Han was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yong, he listened to Xue Ru's order to hurry up and complete the highway as soon as possible. According to what we have learned, the Nationalist Government has about 100,000 tons of materials, including tens of thousands of tons of gasoline alone, as well as hundreds of cars and spare parts, which are urgently needed by China in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Because France agreed to Japan's request to close the railway from Hanoi to Lao Cai to Kunming, this backlog of goods could not be transported back at Haiphong port.

Now Xue Ru has opened the Langshan passage, which is a good thing, and the Executive Yuan and the Quartermaster Department Huang Jingwen sent someone to contact, hoping that Xue Ru can transport this batch of goods back through the Langshan Highway. This is an unshirkable matter for Xue Ru, and after agreeing, he notified Qiao Han to ensure that this batch of materials will be transported to Nanning, and at this time, he cannot delay the business because of Xiao Yong's problems.

Besides, Xue Ru still believes in Xiao Yong, in terms of emotion, who likes and dislikes has nothing to do with personal ideological positions. Let Zhang Donglin and Qiao Han still believe him. Qiao Han was noncommittal, he always felt that Xiao Yong had changed, and he was no longer the same Xiao Yong, but he didn't want Xue Ru to be sad, and the young lady still believed in Xiao Yong so much, so he didn't say anything anymore.

After receiving this letter today, he had a little happy smile. Xiao Yong told him that the Japanese had sent a delegation of about twenty people to Vietnam to check the situation of the border blockade, and that Japan did not believe that France would no longer transport supplies to China. According to intelligence, a large number of supplies entered the Chinese battlefield through coastal boats and some mountain roads.

Seizing the opportunity of France's confrontation with Germany, the French government was forced to promise not to transport supplies to China through Vietnam, and the tyrannical Japanese side even sent personnel to supervise and inspect it. Cadol and Bardon were also very dissatisfied and angry about this, but the domestic government did not let them offend Japan and asked for their best cooperation.

When Xiao Yong received this news, he immediately sent someone to inform Qiao Han and asked him to rob and kill these Japanese, the location, time, and the protective strength of the French army have detailed figures. This made Qiao Han very happy, proving that Xiao Yong had not forgotten that he was Chinese and a person who resisted Japan with Snow Fox.

After putting down the letter, he shouted: "Let Zhao Dele and Guo Yongcai come to me." ”

The two people who had been promoted to the first and second captains of the Snow Fox respectively put down what they were doing and rushed to the cottage hall. When he knew what the task was, Zhao Dele said: "More than a dozen devils, more than a hundred French troops don't need to be so nervous!" ”

Qiao Han shook his head: "Don't underestimate the enemy, the Japanese entourage only has twenty or thirty people, I suspect that those are not ordinary attachés, and the French army is a company, so it can't be delayed in order to fight quickly." In this way, Zhao Dele and Zhang Donglin stayed in the cottage, and Guo Yongcai and I led the second team to raid the devils and eliminate them. ”

Qiao Han is the leader, no one can object to his arrangement, of course the inspection team sent by the Japanese cannot be left, but there is the protection of the French army, so it cannot be delayed, and it is completed cleanly. The reason why Qiao Han did this was because there were cars on the Langshan Highway going to Nanning every day, and the Japanese would find out when they checked it, and the French had to interfere at that time. Therefore, the best way is to kill these Japanese, and let Japan blame France for poor protection, and if there is a conflict between the two sides, Japan and France will fight, then northern Vietnam will become an open transportation channel.

The next day, Qiao Han left Zhao Dele's first brigade to defend the three counties and the cottage, and he and Guo Yongcai led the second brigade to leave the cottage and go to the direction of Laojie. The distance from here to Lao Cai is very long, the road is not too good, and I don't want to attract the attention of the French army in the north, so I march secretly.

According to the information provided by Xiao Yong, the Japanese and the French Governor-General's Office set Lao Cai as the first target of the inspection, because this was the railway from Vietnam to Kunming, China, and it was said that many supplies were transported into China by rail.

Japan was very angry that the French had violated both sides and promised Japan no longer to support China on the one hand, and on the other hand, they secretly helped China transport supplies. There are a large number of Chinese strategic materials in Haiphong Port, and Japan is aware of this, so it reached an agreement with the French government and agreed to send an inspection team to inspect the blockade on the spot.

In fact, Japan's real purpose is to take the opportunity to inspect the military strength of the southeast peninsula on the spot, and the people sent last time were killed, but France did not admit it, and Japan could not do anything about it. This time there were many people discharged, and the French Governor's Office promised to send troops to protect them. Japan wanted to control Southeast Asia and completely blockade China and achieve the goal of seizing strategic materials in Southeast Asia, and it was impossible to put all this in the hands of the French and the British.

France, which was overwhelmed by Germany, could offend Japan at this time, so it promised them to send someone to inspect it, and at the same time telegraphed Cadol to completely close the Sino-Vietnamese border and no longer help China, so as not to lead to war with Japan, and France had no strength to care about overseas colonies at this time.

In a valley leading to Lao Cai Town, more than 800 people from the 2nd Brigade of Snow Wolves were ambushed here, and Qiao Han was very sure that 800 people would ambush more than 200 people. The combat effectiveness of the French army was far worse than that of the Japanese army, and although the training time of the Snow Wolf Brigade was not long, there was no problem at all with 800 to 200.

Mobilize so many people to not want to fight and delay time. On the other hand, I don't want to leak the news. Of course, there is no one left to wipe out, and when the time comes, no one can do anything if they don't admit it, and the news they heard and the information provided by Xiao Yong, the Japanese investigation team is the only way, and Qiao Han led the second brigade to set up an ambush position here.

On this side are Qiao Han's two squadrons, and on the other side is Guo Yongcai leading two squadrons, as long as they pass by, don't want to leave alive. Time passed little by little, Qiao Han held a telescope and stared at the road below the mountain, and finally saw the cars lined up in a long line towards this side. He felt a burst of joy, this was a devil fighter, of course it was exciting, and sent a signal to the other side of the hill to get ready.

Although the soldiers of these snow wolf brigades have not been for a long time, they have continuously used troops against the surrounding bandit cottages, and they can be regarded as fighting a lot of battles. Besides, they were very excited in the face of so many people, raising their guns and staring at the cars down the mountain. There were twenty cars underneath, and there were two cars among them, which must have been Japanese.

The car was not moving fast, probably knowing that the distance was dangerous, and the car drove very slowly, heading to the other side of the valley. Qiao Han raised his hand, watched the devils all enter the encirclement and shouted: "Fight"

In an instant, there was a dense burst of gunfire on both sides of the hillside, and the twenty or so cars stopped on the road at once, and the French soldiers jumped out of the cars and fired at the slopes on both sides, using the cars as cover to organize resistance, and some people in civilian clothes rushed down from several cars, and they turned out to be machine guns in their hands.

When the tarpaulin on the car was completely torn, Qiao Han was dumbfounded, and his heart was shocked, and his first impression was that he had been fooled. Because the troops who rushed down from the car were not more than 100 people, but more than 300 people, and there were heavy machine guns and mortars in the cars.

Look at the plainclothes people who rushed out of the car, and in their hands were the Japanese army's 92 machine guns and Taisho 11. After fighting with the Japanese army for so many years, how could Qiao Han not understand that it was a Japanese army. Sure enough, the combat effectiveness of these people in civilian clothes was much stronger than that of those French troops.

The second brigade led by Qiao Han, most of them were bandits and mountain bandits, and some were farmers, including Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cambodians.

Qiao Han fired a shot and shouted, "Wu Shouxin ordered to retreat and retreat to Huagu Mountain." ”

Wu Shouxin is the deputy captain of the second brigade, leading the fifth and sixth squadrons, and he was also a little stupid at this time, the Japanese and the French were obviously prepared, he climbed to Qiao Han's side: "Captain of the village master, Xiao Yong bastard surrendered devil, we were fooled." ”

Qiao Han also thinks so, Xiao Yong, a bastard, believes in him, and even calculates me, surrenders to be a traitor, gritted his teeth and said: "Lead people to retreat to Huagu Mountain and return to Snow Wolf Cottage, Xiao Yong, I can't spare him." ”

Guo Yongcai, who was on the opposite side, received the signal and also led the two squadrons around him to retreat westward, and wanted to retreat in the direction of Huagu Mountain with the soldiers.

The commander of the hill was Major Versailles, the commander of the 8th Battalion of the 45th Regiment of the French Army, and he was ordered to take his battalion to protect the Japanese and go to Lao Cai to check it, but he would be ambushed on the way, so he must hold on, and General Baldon would have reinforcements.

Sure enough, when he was ambushed here, Versailles did not panic, but arranged troops to block it, and he didn't expect that these accompanying Japanese were so strong in combat, and the French army had almost no chance to make a move, all of them were fought by these dozens of Japanese.

What made Versailles even more unexpected was that these ambushers were so happy that they didn't drag it at all, and found that they were ready to retreat immediately. This is the operational principle of Snow Fox, which will fight if it can be fought, and withdraw if it cannot be hit, and will never be delayed.

Seeing that there were more than a battalion of troops, there were heavy machine guns and mortars, which proved that the French army was prepared, and at the same time they did not attack and break through, but used cars to hold on, Qiao Han thought at that time that he was afraid that they wanted to drag themselves, so he did not delay for a minute, and immediately ordered the troops to converge and retreat to Huagu Mountain, preparing to return to the Snow Wolf Cottage.

Just as Qiao Han and the others withdrew from the ambush position, thousands of French troops appeared on the periphery of the Snow Wolf Brigade. This is the strength of the 3rd Brigade under the command of Major General Balden, according to Balden's idea, to completely solve the Snow Wolf Cottage at once and eliminate these Chinese. The battle was won by himself, and Cadoll did not dare to argue with him, so he had to agree to the plan. When I return to China, I am afraid that the governor of Vietnam should be replaced, he Kador has been the governor for so many years, and he has already made enough money, and it should be my turn Balden.

So he used a battalion as bait and arranged a brigade of troops on the periphery, whether the snow wolf could kill these Japanese, Bardon didn't care, it was the Chinese who killed it and it had nothing to do with the French, besides, the Japanese agreed.

In this way, when Xiao Yong handed over the information to Qiao Han, the French army was waiting for Qiao Han to be fooled! There is no way, who made the Snow Wolf Army believe in their own people, so they are doomed. Colonel Blunt, the commander of the 3rd Brigade under his command, didn't expect Qiao Han to react so quickly, he didn't love fighting at all, and he could quickly break away from retreating, because he was afraid of being discovered, and he didn't know where the snow wolf was ambushed, so his large army left far away, originally wanting to surround the snow wolf brigade, but now it has become a pursuit.

When he found that there were thousands of people pursuing, Qiao Han's mood could be imagined.

This is a plan jointly set up by the French and the Japanese, using Xiao Yong to set up an ambush and want to destroy the Snow Wolf Cottage. He couldn't stop, because a brigade of less than a thousand men could not confront a brigade of French troops, even if he led the Snow Fox brigade.

This is northern Vietnam, the French army is an open army, and Qiao Han they are alone, once they are discovered, they are immediately intercepted by the army from all over the country, no wonder the devil is to check Lao Cai, which is far away from the snow wolf cottage.

When they escaped less than 200 miles, at a place called Xiashu Village, the second brigade fell into a siege.
