Chapter 245: Guinan Wind and Rain (1)

The atmosphere in Longzhou County was very tense, the people were a little frightened, the timid had begun to flee, and the bold or reluctant to have family business and had nowhere to go were asking everywhere about the devil's attack. The Japanese army attacked Nanning, the Japanese army on the west road had occupied the Longhui area, only a few hundred kilometers away from Longzhou, many fleeing people flocked to Chongzuo and Longzhou, and the news from Fusui came that the national army had failed again and continued to retreat to Nanning. Although there were daily battles and the battlefield was quite fierce, the Chinese army kept retreating.

The 9th Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, with the cooperation of the Tank Brigade and the Artillery Wing, totaled more than 10,000 people, and attacked fiercely.

This attack on Longzhou was mainly because of the highway from Nanning to Longzhou. This highway was built by Xue Ru, director of the Guangxi camp, not a newly built highway, but a widening, leveling and reinforcement of the original road.

A road that was not very good became quite good, because this young director was very good to the people, and during the construction of the road, he shot and killed more than a dozen people who deducted food and beat and scolded and bullied the migrant workers, which became a good story among the local people.

People in Nanning and Longzhou know this legendary girl director, but most of them have never seen it. A mysterious girl, who can be such a big official, or a clean official who is the master of the people, has been circulated in many versions around Nanning. This girl with the title of vixen has also become the capital that people talk about after dinner. What demon fox incarnated, the reincarnation of a fairy, the Chinese people exerted their rich imagination and raised Xue Ru from the status of a human to the level of a god.

Those who have been dealt with by Xue Ru are doing their best to spread rumors, what goblins, devils, fox demons, confusing men, eating people's hearts, drinking human blood, and killing people for fun. The fairy and the devil appeared on Xue Ru's body at the same time, making her a celebrity in Guangxi for a while.

But not long after the highway was opened to traffic, there was shocking news that Xue Ru was dismissed, he was not an official, and he became a rebel.

This slanderous word was popular, although those migrant workers still said that she was good, but they didn't dare to say it publicly, after all, Xue Ru had defected to the enemy. I heard that he went abroad, and gradually no one talked about Xue Ru anymore. Now the Japanese are attacking on a large scale, and it is because of this road that the common people can't say clearly. Why a highway attracted a large-scale attack by the Japanese is not known to some peasants who do not know a few big characters.

But soon there was a new legend that this highway suppressed the demon, it helped the Japanese to occupy China, and was suppressed by the fox fairy, so the Japanese wanted to occupy this highway and release this demon.

This time the Chinese people were scared, and sure enough, the Japanese came in, and the consequences were unimaginable. The devils burned, killed, looted, and did everything, the Chinese people suffered countless casualties, and the guerrillas and national troops in various places were desperately trying to stop the Japanese, what does this prove? proved that Xue Ru was a good person and a good fairy, but the Kuomintang didn't know the hearts of good people and persecuted her away. The Japanese knew that the snow fox was not there, so they dared to attack in a big way, and if the snow fox was there, how would they dare to come.

For the old chief Bai Chongxi to come back, on the contrary, the people were not very happy. These days, because there is no news of Xue Ru, the common people began to inquire about how to get the snow fox back, as long as she comes back, the devil can't attack, so there are many incense people in temples around the country, asking the fox fairy to come back.

Xue Ru didn't know about this, she secretly entered Longzhou from Heyang. Although he knew that the Nationalist Government's wanted notice was nothing more than a gesture, he kept a low profile and just led the guards into Longzhou, a small border county town in civilian clothes, which was a little dilapidated. As the Lang Son Highway in Vietnam passes through here, a large number of strategic materials are transported to the interior, making Long Zhou also prosperous. There are more people than ordinary places, and there are many kinds of business, and most of them are inns and restaurants for travel.

Longzhou, which does not have much arable land, is still very rich. The goal of the Japanese army is this road, of course, the next target after the occupation of Nanning is Longzhou, and those who have a little brain understand it, so not many people flee in this direction. But from here you can escape into Vietnam, the Japanese did not dare to attack Vietnam, it was a foreign country, it was the territory of the red-haired and big-nosed French, so most of them fled to Long Chau, wanting to enter Vietnam through here to escape the war.

The population of Longzhou City has surged, and there are people with shabby clothes everywhere, and Guan Yingpei, the head of the Longzhou County Government, is a little anxious, and he doesn't know how to deal with this situation. The Japanese wanted to attack here, but most of the troops of the Nationalist Government were concentrated in the direction of Nanning, and there was only one security regiment in Longzhou, and then there was the Longzhou militia regiment, which added up to only more than 4,000 people, and there were not many weapons, most of them were spear ridges, and the ammunition was insufficient. He reported to the Seventh Administrative Supervision District and also to the Nanning Xingying, but there was no response. Also, the Japanese are attacking Nanning, who cares about him.

He also wanted to withdraw from Longzhou and go to Shangjin County, but Kong Xianchen, the commissioner of the inspection district, left first and asked him to stay in Longzhou. This is the only way to pass through the highway, Guan Yingpei did not dare to leave, he lived like a year, how could he be in the mood to care about these refugees, making the county a mess, full of hooligans and villains, and the people were even more difficult.

There were no police officers on the street at all, and those who were a little capable had already started to run. In the surrounding areas of Longzhou, the Zhuang nationality accounts for more than 70 percent, as well as the Manchu, Dong and Yi ethnic groups, but most of them are Zhuang people. Their ethnic habits are very close to those of the Han people, but they have their own ethnic customs, and the folk customs are also very strong, and ordinary people dare not provoke them.

Because the inspector ran to Jin County, many rich and powerful people also ran away, making Longzhou even more chaotic. Guan Yingpei was in no mood to take care of this, he could only wait, and told Bai Zhuang, the head of the security regiment, to take the more than 1,000 militia regiments into the security regiment and organize them, and if the Japanese attacked, the people who would protect the county government would retreat, and he couldn't control those people.

Many ethnic minority people have also gathered and formed their own militia groups to protect the cottages and prepare to protect themselves. For a time, bullets and guns in Longzhou City became the most expensive things, and money could not buy them, and those hunting guns and bird guns also rose to dozens of oceans, and Miao knives were even more scrambled.

As soon as Xue Ru, Fan Tiezhu, Xiao Minghua, Qiao Lijuan and Wei Dong entered Longzhou, they were immediately targeted by many people, because these twenty men and women all had guns on them. This is a good thing, as soon as they look at their dress, they are the Han family, and those who have a little power began to wonder if they would snatch these people's guns.

Seeing them staring at each other, even Xue Ru was a little strange, Wei Dong was a Zhuang person, and he was also the captain of the guard that Xue Ru got around after entering Guangxi, because he was a local, and he had a lot of things to do with the locals, and it was better to say that it was the captain of the guard than Xue Ru's adjutant. Xue Ru asked, "Captain Wei, what's going on?" ”

Because of the road construction, Wei Dong accompanied Xue Ru to Longzhou, and he was familiar with it, and he also knew Guan Yingpei and Kong Xianchen, and he also knew Bai Zhuang, the head of the Longzhou Security Corps. It wasn't like this in Longzhou before, why is that? Seeing Xue Ru asking, he said, "Let me find someone to ask?" ”

More than 20 people came to a fairly small restaurant to advance, originally not wanting to delay time, Xue Ru wanted to go to the county government as soon as possible to see Guan Yingpei, and contact the 77th Division to see when they could arrive.

Xue Ru didn't know about the Battle of Guinan, but he only knew that Kunlun won the first victory, which was the three major victories of resistance against Japan along with Taierzhuang and Wanjialing, that is, because of the victory at Kunlun Pass, he knew about this Guinan Campaign, but the details were not clear, and whether the Japanese army in Longzhou occupied Xue Ru did not know.

Besides, history seems to be different, of course, there was no Xue Ru as the director of the Guangxi camp in the original history, and there was no Snow Fox Corps, who knows what is going on now. Xue Ru's prophetic advantage was disappearing, and she could only analyze and judge by herself. According to operational common sense, the purpose of the Japanese army in launching this campaign was to cut off the Sino-Vietnamese border passage, and the Langshan Highway passed through Longzhou, once the Japanese army occupied Nanning, it was impossible not to attack Longzhou, which was also the reason why Xue Ru ordered the New Ninth Army to rush to Longzhou.

There are two group armies in Nanning, Bai Chongxi has re-become the director of the camp, and there is Zhang Fakui's fourth war zone, Xue Ru is a rebel army who is nothing, Bai Chongxi and Zhang Fakui will not listen to themselves, and even Guo Jingchu of the New Ninth Army can listen to orders He still doesn't know? But Liu Yuanshan and Lai Changwen could listen to Xue Ru to know, so she didn't plan to enter Nanning. Besides, Nanning is the main direction of attack of the Japanese army, and it is Xue Ru's operational principle not to fight for cities with the Japanese army, and the goal is to eliminate the living forces of the Japanese army and seek opportunities to annihilate the enemy. To this end, she ordered the New Ninth Army to assemble in Longzhou, preparing to find an opportunity to eliminate the 5th Division.

When he received Guo Jingchu's telegram, he agreed to his plan, knowing that Guo Jingchu did not want to openly confront the Nationalist government, so he agreed to send part of the Guangxi soldiers into Nanning to participate in the battle, and most of them rushed to Longzhou to accept Xue Ru's command.

The situation in Longzhou is too weird, Xue Ru has to find out the situation first, he doesn't know anything, he only has more than 20 guards, it is still very dangerous. Before the arrival of the New Ninth Army, it was still necessary to be safer, so I entered this mountain village restaurant to rest and wait for Wei Dong to figure out what was going on.

Xue Ru and the others all carried guns, especially the more than ten guards were double guns, and a few were *, well-equipped men and women, the boss didn't know what the box was for, but insiders understood that it was a radio station, carried by Qu Shaosi's operator.

More than 20 people were leading horses behind them, and their identities made the boss dare not provoke, so they hurriedly greeted. Xue Ru didn't want to eat anything, just to rest and drink some tea. Wei Dong came back not long after going out, and when he told him what he knew, Xue Ru frowned and said, "Did Guan Yingpei also run away." ”

Wei Dong said: "No, but this guy doesn't care about anything, he's just busy with his security team, preparing to escape." Miss, let's hurry to the security corps station, Longzhou is too dangerous at this time, these people are not sure, if there is, they would have snatched the guns a long time ago. There are too few of us, and most of the people in the city are ethnic minorities, and they don't listen to that and dare to do anything. ”

Xue Ru knows this situation too well, not to mention that at this time, in such a stable country in the future, no one dares to provoke some ethnic minorities in the border areas of regional autonomy, let alone this era. said: "Since Guan Yingpei hasn't left yet, we don't need to go to the security group, we can go directly to the county government and contact Senior Commander Lai to see when we can arrive." ”

Wei Dong nodded and just stood up, when more than two dozen people suddenly rushed in outside, with all kinds of guns, and surrounded Xue Ru and them. In the middle of the pace came a strong man, bronze skin in his thirties, with a turban on his head, dressed as a Zhuang person. Black clothes and robes, a pair of decorated cloth shoes, a Miao knife at his waist, a twenty-gun German box cannon in his hand, and four * hanging diagonally from his waist.

As soon as he came in, the people on the left and right separated, they all bowed slightly, he glanced at Xue Ru and these people arrogantly and said: "I don't want to be verbose, and I don't want to talk nonsense, hand over your bullets and guns, I will let you go, if you don't agree, you will be killed." ”

Xue Ru has dealt with these people a lot, and knows that these ethnic minorities, although the people are fierce and rude, they are very simple and reasonable, keep their promises, sometimes they are very trustworthy, and they can keep their promises, and they look down on people who don't count, and they are also very grateful to their benefactors.

When Xue Ru was the director of the camp and built the highway from Nanning to Longzhou, he took good care of them and tried his best to deal with the contradictions between ethnic groups fairly, which won the favor of most Zhuang people. Seeing that although this person spoke wildly, he was not disgusting, and there was still a sense of righteousness on his body, and he said with a smile on his face: "Who are you, our Han family has a saying, the sword is given to the martyrs, the red powder is given to the beauty, say your name, what to do with the gun, if it is a hero, I will give it with both hands, and there is not only these, if you don't do the right thing, then see if I agree to the gun in my hand?" ”

Xue Ru and the others didn't look scared at all, and at this time, the guns under the hands of more than two dozen people all came out, and the bullets were loaded and aimed at the people around them. Xue Ru did not pull out the gun, but talked calmly.

This strong man is the leader of Badong Township, and he is very famous in the Longzhou area, and he is brave and righteous, and even the people of the Longzhou Security Regiment and the local army dare not provoke him. Because of his righteousness, he also has a lot of popularity and reputation around Longzhou.

His name is Bai Wuyu, a very Han name, but he looks rough and strong, and the name is different. Seeing the delicate Xue Ru, a pair of big eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, and laughed: "Your daughter of the Han family has such a person, so bold, admire!" I don't embarrass you either, I don't dare to call you a hero, but no one dares to say a word when it comes to me Bai Wuyu in Badong Township in the Longzhou Territory, hand over the weapons and bullets, I will not only let you go, but also protect your safety, no one dares to touch you when I mention Bai Wuyu in the Longzhou Territory, and the gun is useless to you. ”

Xue Ru is the director of the camp in Nanning, because he has come to Longzhou to build roads, of course the famous Bai Wuyu has heard of it, but the status is too different, so he doesn't know him. looked up and down and said, "Yes, it really deserves its name, and it can be regarded as a hero, but you haven't said what you want a gun for?" ”

Seeing Xue Ru admiring him, Bai Wuyu was a little proud, and smiled heartily: "Haha, it's over, but it's useless to think about it, I have a fiancée, little girl, you're too young, give me the gun!" I will protect you at the border of Longzhou. ”
