Chapter 44: The company commander is the fourth brother
When Wang Xinglan and the personnel of the county brigade rushed to Beixiang County, the sky was already bright and the rain was still continuing.
The owner of the donkey car acted as a guide and led the group directly to the store where Fang Pinggong lived the day before yesterday.
The team hid in a corner of the store, and a clever team member went in to investigate.
The team member went into the store and woke him up when he saw the shopkeeper sitting there sleeping soundly.
"Xiao Er, let's ask you personally, which room is the room where the boss Fang who came to stay the day before yesterday lives," the team member said as he took out a few banknotes and put them on the table in front of Xiao Er.
The shopkeeper blinked his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm his buddy, and I said okay to let me come over early today to rent a house and move."
Xiao Er put away the banknotes and put them in his pocket and sneered: "You're late, it's going to be difficult to find your boss."
The team member asked quietly: Is something wrong with my boss?
Something happened, something big happened, and it was because of him that he tossed most of the night last night.
So the shopkeeper looked at the banknotes and told the team member about the bandits' abduction of Fang Pinggong last night.
The team members were taken aback when they heard this, and they hurriedly went out after saying a few words to the shopkeeper.
After going out, he made a report to An Bingsong, and Xinglan and An Bingsong were dumbfounded when they heard it.
There was no way, so these people found a place to eat first, and after one night, everyone was tired enough.
Xinglan and An Bingsong said that they would go to his customers in Beixiang to find out the specific situation of the bandits.
Xinglan arrived at a grocery store, the boss had just opened the door, and when he saw Xinglan, he hurriedly asked; Why is Boss Wang early?
I'm in a bit of a hurry to find you.
So Xinglan and this old guy inquired about the specific situation of the bandits in Beixiang County.
The customer of this song has been doing business in Beixiang County for many years, and he is naturally very familiar with the big and small things. He said that since the entire Beixiang County was suppressed by the official army, the Zhao Tiehammer family is now the only one left, and he and Xinglan introduced in detail the hiding location of these bandits.
Xinglan was not polite anymore, and returned to the place where the county brigade personnel settled after saying goodbye.
After listening to Xinglan's introduction to the bandits, An Bingsong was worried.
He said: Boss Wang, there are only about 10 of us in total, and if we rush to the bandits' lair, we will undoubtedly fall into the net. What do you think about this?
An Bingsong's original intention was to let Xinglan retreat in the face of difficulties and go back.
Who knew that Xinglan didn't agree! We're all here, so we have to make a show.
My suggestion is that we go to the lair of the Lushan bandits.
An Bingsong had no choice, as long as he promised Xinglan and others to go to the bandits' lair to see the situation, he would use force if he couldn't do it.
However, if you use force, you will definitely not be able to defeat it, we have few people, and we don't have heavy weapons, how can we attack the mountain?
Let's go and have a look first, Xinglan has no intention of retreating. There was no way, An Bingsong had no choice but to lead the team to Lushan.
After another morning, I took out the military map to check, and there were 5 miles to reach my destination. At this moment, only the fierce gunfire was heard from the direction of Lushan.
An Bingsong said when he heard this, it seems that there is a fight over there, who is this going on?
Xinglan was also confused.
The team continued to move forward, and the farther they went, the closer the sound of gunfire could be heard. Around noon, when the team reached the foot of Mount Lu, the gunfire completely stopped.
At this time, a pair of Central Army in brand-new costumes were coming down from the mountain to escort the bandits.
An Bingsong stepped forward and found a man who looked like a chief to inquire about the gunshots. The officer said that he had been ordered to exterminate the bandits on Mount Lu.
At this time, as soon as the officer raised his head, he flashed An Bingsong and walked directly towards Xinglan.
Xinglan was also shocked when she saw a heavily armed officer walking straight towards her, in troubled times, merchants were afraid of wearing uniforms and holding guns.
I saw that the officer who came over was wearing a straight officer's uniform, carrying a box gun on his belt, and a pair of shiny riding boots on his feet. walked up to Xinglan with a straight face and didn't speak.
Although Wang Xinglan looked at the officers who came over, he was a little scared, but he always felt a sense of déjà vu, and he didn't dare to measure it directly and carefully.
The officer with a stiff face couldn't hold his breath first, took off his military hat and laughed: "It's me, big brother, why haven't you recognized it yet"?
"It's you stinky boy, scare me!" Hearing the voice, Wang Xinglan reacted, this is the fourth child of their family, Wang Xingquan.
After a few years of separation, the two actually met in a foreign land, and the two brothers hugged each other tightly.
Hearing that the officer who came turned out to be Wang Xinglan's own brother, An Bingsong also came over, and Xinglan introduced the fourth brother. And he was deceived by himself at a brief high speed, and Captain An came to help him.
Wang Xingquan greeted An Bingsong again, and said polite words of thanks.
Xinglan asked why her brother was here, and what was the gunfire just now?
Xingquan said that they had just finished a battle and were ready to adjust their defenses, temporarily resting in Beixiang County, but they did not expect that this gang of bandits on the mountain robbed their baggage, and after asking for instructions on the peak, the superior ordered his department to suppress the bandits on the spot, after a few days of reconnaissance, taking advantage of the rain, the dawn launched an attack, and attacked the cottage in less than an hour to end the battle. More than 20 were killed, and the rest were all taken prisoner.
After speaking, he led his eldest brother and An Bingsong to look for Fang Pinggong in the pile of captured people.
Wang Xinglan recognized the liar from afar, he ran to him, grabbed Fang Pinggong's collar, and shouted: You damn liar!
Xinglan, who never fought with anyone, was really angry, and he punched Fang Pinggong in the face, causing the liar to bleed from his nose and mouth, and screamed.
Fang Pinggong should also be retribution, his hands are wrapped in rags, after being caught on the mountain last night, the angry Zhao Tiehammer, each hand chopped off three fingers for him, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart, originally planned to come out of the sun at noon the next day after the result of Fang Pinggong, but he did not expect to lead the troops to attack the mountain, which made Fang Pinggong temporarily escape.
After the two brothers interrogated Fang Pinggong alone, An Bingsong learned that most of the Dayang he had deceived was still stored in a rented house in Beixiang County. An Bingsong discussed with Xingquan and handed over Fang Pinggong to his side. Wang Xingquan readily agreed, set up a damn liar to deceive my family, and leave it to you to deal with.
All the lines were also resting in the county seat, so everyone went to the county seat together.
The brothers talked endlessly as they walked along the road.
It turned out that after all the trips went out, there was no clear goal, so I asked all the way where there were troops. In the past few months, he met Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army, and finally got his wish to become a soldier, because of his courage in battle, he was deeply appreciated by his superiors, and a few months later he was recommended to go to the Wuhan branch of the Whampoa Military Academy, which belonged to the sixth phase of Whampoa.
After six months of military school life, Xingquan successfully graduated and returned to the original army to lead the soldiers.
By now, Xingquan is already a company commander in the Kuomintang Central Army.
After listening to Xingquan's general introduction to herself, Xinglan was also embarrassed, knowing that her brother had suffered a lot.
You're still a company commander!
Xinglan was worried and happy for her brother at the same time.
Well, isn't it just a smiley face, and I'm going to be a general in the future!
The time for the two brothers to meet seemed to pass a lot faster, and before they knew it, Beixiang County had arrived.
First go to Fang Pinggong to rent a house to get back his ocean, and there are more than 2,400 yuan left. After the deception, except for 500 to the house officer who pretended to be his cousin in the casino, the others did not have time to spend.
If it weren't for Fang Pinggong's deception, he wouldn't have chopped off six of his fingers.
On the other hand, without Fang Pinggong's deception, Wang Xinglan and his fourth brother would not have had the opportunity to meet this time.
The most unwilling is Fang Pinggong, of course, it is useless to be unwilling, what awaits him must be the most severe punishment.
Xinglan asked the fourth brother that this place is not very far from Jingdi Village, will you go home and see your father?
Xingquan said that with the military order in hand, he really can't go back.
Xinglan took out 500 oceans and had to give them to the fourth brother, Xingquan smiled; I'm going to bring you back with the ocean later, and you still want to give it to me. Xingquan originally had a lot of savings, and today he has seized a lot of cottages. He took out a few silver tickets and asked Xinglan to take them home to honor his father.
Xinglan took a general look, wow, good guy, there are more than 2,000 oceans.
Xinglan insisted no, Xingquan said Big brother, you must bring these oceans back this time, it is inconvenient for us to march and fight, besides, I still have a lot.
Xinglan was surprised, how rich is it to be an officer? It seems to be much faster than doing business.
After eating together at noon, the two brothers reluctantly parted and went their separate ways.
None of the two brothers thought that this farewell would be the last meeting between the two brothers, and the details will be listed later, so stay tuned.
