The leader of the splashing skin is named Meng Longsheng, a well-known gangster in Wencheng, who takes a group of green-skinned ruffians all day long, haunts between business shops and stalls, extorts money, molests people's girls, and picks quarrels and provokes trouble. They hid from the police, and they never provoked the garrison, and they chose the common people to bully. Since it was not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were not many stores opened in the city, and the places for this gang of scoundrels were very limited.

"Handsome girl, come out for a walk, why don't you have a man with you? Brothers, play with your sisters! ”

Liu Wumei was startled, reacted quickly and grabbed a handy stretched out, and drank: "Get out!" Want to die?! ”

"I want to die, I want to die, I want to die under the peony flower, and I am also a ghost and a ghost!" The cheeky hippie who was grabbed by the wrist replied with a smile.

But Xiao Ju on the side panicked, and the other splashed skin pinched her face, and before she could resist, Meng Longsheng, the leader, had already touched her chest with his hand, and Xiao Ju was so frightened that she screamed again and again.

The two bodyguards and the master who were following from afar saw a few men walking to the side of the master, and thought they were just ordinary passers-by, so they didn't care for a while. It wasn't until I heard Xiaoju's screams that I began to run in their direction in shock. And the frightened and angry Liu Wumei had already fought with the splashes, she kicked away the splashes who were entanglement with her, and reached out to take out the gun under the leather robe, but the body was hugged by another guy from behind, and she couldn't break free for a while, and Xiaoju had already fallen into the hands of two or three splashes, and was rudely touched and hugged.

The bodyguards finally arrived, knocking down a few splashes with three punches and two kicks. The female bandit leader who was free of hand was already angry, she pulled out the shell gun, and without thinking about it, she raised her hand to hold the fire, and knocked down a splash that was close at hand, and the bullet shot straight into the center of the guy's eyebrows, leaving only a bullet hole with *.

At this moment, the pranksters who bullied the soft and feared the hard were suddenly frightened, Meng Longsheng ran the fastest, and looked back from time to time while running: My mother, how can this Peugeot little girl have a gun on her? !

He firmly remembered Liu Wumei's pretty face with murderous aura.

The sound of gunshots, although only one, caused considerable confusion, and the passers-by who were present to see the scene scattered to hide, while the unknown people in the vicinity followed suit.

This is already the east gate of the city, not too far from the east gate of Wencheng. In the past two days, due to the Japanese attack and occupation of Fengdian, the 12th Brigade of the Independent Brigade has strengthened its vigilance, although it is estimated that the Japanese army in Fengdian has no intention of fighting for the time being, but in order to prevent spies, the four gates of Wencheng still sent additional troops to guard. Liu Wumei's shot was heard by the soldiers guarding the door, and the officers of the 569 Regiment on duty immediately called their superiors, and the atmosphere at the city gate became tense all of a sudden.

Liu Wumei and his entourage soon appeared in the sight of the guards at the gate, and their hurried steps aroused the vigilance of the defenders, and a squad leader shouted with a middle official: "Stop!" What for? Walk slowly one by one! ”

Liu Wumei knew that except for herself, the rest of the people did not carry firearms with her, so she reached out and grabbed her cousin Xiaoju's arm and walked towards the city gate first. When the defenders saw that they were two richly dressed women, they immediately became wary and asked Liu Wumei, who walked in front of them:

"Where to shoot? You know? ”

The female bandit leader pretended to be panicked:

"I don't know, our sisters were walking, and we heard a gun behind us, and someone was shouting something, so we were scared and didn't dare to look, so we ran away."

"Out of town?"

"Yes, come and see the relatives in the city, and go back today."

Several soldiers had already stared at the men who were still standing in the distance, and waved their hands to let Liu Wumei and the others out. Subsequently, they searched Liu Wumei's master and bodyguards, but found no suspicious signs, these people all said that they did not know about the shooting, and the defenders soon let them out of the city gate.

In the past, Liu Wumei took people into the city, and she had to spend three days and five days in the city, and only sent someone back to Heishiya to report the news the day before leaving, and the people from the cottage went to the agreed place in the eastern suburbs of Wencheng the next day to welcome the return of the head of the cottage. But this time it happened suddenly, Liu Wumei temporarily decided to go out of the city today last night, so there was no minions to answer. Moreover, they were forced to use their guns in a scuffle on the streets of Dongguan just now, and when they were in a hurry to get out, they didn't let the carriage sent by Bai Baoyuan follow.

At this moment, out of danger, the anger of the female bandit leader burned again: she was molested by several ruffians in the city for no reason, and her cousin was even more insulted and tears rippled, although she killed a villain on the spot, Liu Wumei still felt that she couldn't swallow this breath.

"Wangzi," she said angrily to one of the bodyguards, "don't go back to the cottage yet, then go back to the city, tell the second master, and immediately find out the identity of the ruffians just now, and next time I will bring a few more brothers and skin them alive one by one!" ”

Lao Cheng's master felt that the move of the master was somewhat excessive, the shot just now was ruthless enough, if he brought people into the city to kill, the matter would cause the police station and even the 12th Brigade garrison to interfere. He tried to persuade Liu Wumei not to be like those scoundrels, but the female bandit leader who was angry was willing to listen, and asked the bodyguard to do it immediately.

Liu Wumei's shot on the streets of Wencheng directly alarmed Zheng Yuan, the brigade commander of the 12th Independent Brigade.

Although the 569th Regiment later sent troops to the scene of the incident, and the people from the police station also went to the scene, and it was initially ascertained that the incident was likely to have nothing to do with the war, but a false alarm touched Zheng Yuan's nerves again.

However, under Zheng Yuan's repeated requests, the commander's department has agreed today: If the Japanese army in Fengdian or the Japanese army stationed in Junling attack Wencheng on a large scale, the 12th Brigade can act on the camera, and once it feels that it cannot resist the enemy after the battle, it can consider preserving its strength, giving up the city defense, and retreating to the south one by one. There are two retreat routes: first, you can retreat to Lingshi County along the Tongpu Railway; Second, you can retreat along the highway to Pingquan County. However, no matter which route it is, it must be reported to the World War Zone Governor's Department for approval before it can be implemented.

After receiving this order, Zheng Yuan immediately began to arrange a retreat plan. In order to prevent the confusion of the people in the city, Zheng Yuan demanded that the retreat be kept strictly secret, and the news of Fengdian's occupation by the Japanese army should not be broadcast. The brigade headquarters and the 569th regiment are arranged in echelons, and they can abandon the city at any time. At the same time, he ordered the 570th Regiment, which was stationed outside the city, to transfer a battalion to the vicinity of the railway line in the northern suburbs of Wencheng to guard against the Japanese army attacking from the direction of Junling; Another battalion was transferred to the vicinity of the railway line between Wencheng and Songjiagou, and the Japanese troops on guard at Fengdian suddenly came out of the mountains; Tian Mingda led the regiment headquarters and the third battalion to stay under the city of Wencheng.

Of course, this plan aroused Tian Mingda's anger, and when he received the order, he shouted at his chief of staff and adjutant:

"This is clearly using our 570 regiment as a shield! As soon as the guns rang out, his brigade commander took people on the train and ran away, and Lao Tzu's three battalions were dismantled in the east and west, and they were cut off! ”

His temporary regimental headquarters was set up in a courtyard house in the eastern suburbs, which was arranged by forcibly requisitioning the house of this common people. The chief of staff was also frightened when he heard this order, but knowing that this was the case, he did not dare to disobey the military order of Shangfeng. What's more, their regiment originally escaped from the defense area, and the whereabouts of the 391st Regiment of the friendly Central Army that they left behind are still unknown, and the brigade commander has not punished the 570th Regiment for this crime, which is already God's blessing. A few days ago, when the brigade headquarters held a meeting on countermeasures, it was conveyed that Chairman Chiang's Nationalist Government had just shot and killed a number of high-ranking generals who had left the anti-Japanese defense zone without authorization on the eve of the Spring Festival, including Han Fuyu, deputy commander of the Fifth Theater who had lost Shandong.

"Tuanzuo, we can't be Han Fuyu, but we can't be cannon fodder." The chief of staff cautiously said to Tian Mingda.

"Cannon fodder?" The commander of the 570th Regiment laughed a little hideously: "When we retreated from Fengdian, we were the cannon fodder for the Central Army; Now that we are in Wencheng, the brigade commander wants us to be cannon fodder again. Praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches are behind! ”

The chief of staff looked at Tian Mingda's face and said tentatively: "Or, let's keep a hand secretly?" The brigade commander asked the direction of the defense, let's not let so many people and horses, set up a company on each of the two railway lines, and make more fake temporary fortifications, so that it doesn't seem to show flaws. ”

Tian Mingda was stunned for a moment, and then slowly understood the intention of the chief of staff - only two companies were released to put on a show, but the heavy troops were held in his hands, if the devil came to attack, he could withdraw with the main force at any time - this time, his face was replaced with a pleased smile.

"Chief of Staff, you are really my Zhuge Liang, just do it! You will now draw two companies from the third battalion and immediately arrive at the designated position to dig fortifications. Tian Mingda, who was in a good mood, turned to the adjutant and said, "Bring those two bottles of Fenjiu, as well as roast chicken and donkey meat in sauce!" Damn, that white shopkeeper is really not bad, if Lao Tzu is stationed in the city, he will definitely take care of his business every day! ”

What Tian Mingda said was Bai Baoyuan, the shopkeeper of the Baoyuan Restaurant where he went into the city last night, when the shopkeeper heard that the head of the group was coming in person, he not only came to the box to toast and add dishes, but also asked the guy to take two bottles of good Fen wine, a roast chicken, and a pack of the restaurant's secret sauce donkey meat to the head of the group.

However, before the 570 regiment's commander's wine and food could be eaten, gunfire was heard in the distance; Tian Mingda was holding a roast chicken leg in his hand, and he almost fell to the ground in fright. Subordinates flew to report: On both sides of the railway line in the direction of Songjiagou, a large number of Japanese troops appeared! The post responsible for guarding in that direction engaged the enemy with fire, but came under heavy artillery fire.

Tian Mingda complained bitterly: I'm really afraid of something! This is obviously the little devil who laid down Fengdian a few days ago, along the railway line of Songjiagou Station, and killed it!
