Chapter 283 Thunder Thunder in Northern Henan 21

The cavalry of the Third Division standing behind Li Qinglin was a little impatient.

The squad leader of this group of cavalry was named Yu Deshui. When he saw an ordinary sentry, he dared to intercept the supreme commander. So he asked: "Captain Li, you are the captain of the squadron. Why do you have to be inspected by a small sentry when you return to your own troops? This is too big or small, right?"

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Brother, you haven't been to the battlefield yet? You will know after you die a few times. The more you are careful, the longer you will live."

Taking advantage of the short opportunity of waiting, Li Qinglin told his battle experience of clean and completely eliminating them while leading the fifth company in the Battle of Tiger Peel Mountain in the night and following the Japanese who retreated after failing to attack.

As expected, few of the cavalry of the Third Division had been on the battlefield, and none of them had ever fought with the Japanese army. After hearing Li Qinglin's vivid talk about the battle that night, Yu Deshui exclaimed: "God, you are so brave."

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "When fighting, you will naturally be more courageous. Because the Japanese made a fatal small mistake that day, that is, even though they knew there were footsteps behind them, no one asked or checked them, so we could easily succeed, and no casualties."

The cavalry squad leader Yu was still a little dissatisfied and said, "But that was the time of war, and everyone's vigilance would naturally be higher at that time. But isn't there no enemy coming now? Will being so careful will delay major events?"

Li Qinglin said seriously: "Big thing? Is there anything more important than losing your life? Don't say anything else, your deputy commander was considered his own person last night, right? Today? He is the enemy. For the safety of everyone, as long as you are in my army, no matter how big your official position is, anyone who does not meet the command must be subject to the strictest inspection."

While they were talking, Dong Zhao and Ding Goudan hurriedly came, and they welcomed Li Qinglin and others into the temporary military camp.

Everyone was very tired after riding overnight, but Li Qinglin did not rest. He ordered Ding Goudan to give him a wash water, cleanse her face, and then change into a military uniform, and then notify the troops to start meals immediately.

While eating, Li Qinglin asked about the current situation of the troops.

During the past few days after Li Qinglin left, more than 30 people came to the army. Some of them were scattered soldiers, most of them were peasants who voluntarily joined the army to fight the Japanese, and four of them were young students. Dong Zhao and Ding Goudan organized these people into the guard platoon and the recruits squad according to the method left by Li Qinglin. In the past few days, everyone was training enthusiastically.

"How are the recruits training?" Li Qinglin asked while drinking porridge.

"I can basically shoot, but if I can really go to the battlefield, it will take some training to achieve it." Dong Zhao replied.

"I'll inform you and we'll start immediately after dinner." Li Qinglin gave a simple order.

"Are you going to fight?" Dong Zhao asked.

Li Qinglin replied: "We must march east along the Zhangbei Highway today, and the faster the troops go, the better. As for whether to fight or not, it depends on whether we will encounter enemies."

"But these new recruits really have no experience. When the gunshots sound, they might run away without any of them. Besides, we are in a hurry and there are not enough guns and ammunition." Dong Zhao hesitated.

"The mission is urgent, and I don't care about so many things now. They are better than scarecrows, right? Even if they are scarecrows, I will carry them to the battlefield." Li Qinglin put down his job and said decisively.

Li Qinglin has always loved nurses and would not let new recruits be cannon fodder under normal circumstances. This time, Dong Zhao thought that something big that had moved today must have happened. So he asked: "Boss, is there something special happening?"

"You have the veterans outfitted some military uniforms and guns immediately, and the new soldiers should try to put on military uniforms and get guns. As for what happened, I will tell you on the road later."

Li Qinglin then took out his pocket watch and looked at it, saying, "In thirty minutes, everyone must set off."

"Yes" Dong Zhao's feet were all together, and he immediately went to execute the order after a greeting.

Thirty minutes later, the 100th person led by Li Qinglin and the cavalry squad of the Third Division who came with him this morning set off.

The troops passed through the street center of Sangyu Town. Some ordinary people grabbed Li Qinglin's horse's head and asked worriedly: "Boss, is it going to fight? Will you come back?"

Li Qinglin smiled relaxedly and said, "There is no big battle to fight. After this battle, we will still come here to stay."

The troops quickly passed through the town and arrived at an empty and deserted place. Li Qinglin ordered everyone to stand by. Then Li Qinglin sent his horse to the front of the team and told everyone about the reason for the emergency dispatch.

I heard that the Second Division and the Third Division were going to revolt anyway, but the people who had left Li Fu and the troops cheered. After the cheers, some people felt a little embarrassed: "Captain, there are my good friends in the First Division, and they are also good people. If this battle is really going to start, it's really hard for us to shoot at them."

Li Qinglin laughed and scolded, "Why are you so confused? You abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and the Second Division and the Third Division have also revolted anyway. Since they are good people, they should come to our side. If they really meet, then you can speak out first to persuade them. If they are determined to be traitors, can we still treat them as friends?"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "The sir is right. If he is determined to be a traitor, the gun in my hand will never spare him."

In order to join the Second Division as soon as possible, Li Qinglin divided the troops into two parts. He and Dong Zhao led the cavalry first, Ding Goudan and Guo Zilin led the infantry to follow, and the troops adopted a rush marching method and walked east along the main road as quickly as possible.

Li Qinglin brought a total of 41 people from northern Henan, and several of them were drawn to the infantry as squad leader. Now, with the cavalry of the Third Division, Li Qinglin's ranks have a total of 50 people. When Li Qinglin's cavalry came, they were equipped with two long and short guns, because the rifles were uniformly used to give the new recruits. Now the three brigades of cavalry basically only have one box cannon on their bodies, and the most powerful firepower in the team is two Czech.

Yu Deshui, the cavalry squad leader of the Third Division, was a little worried and said, "Sir Li, we only have so many people and only have so few guns. If we really encounter the Japanese, wouldn't we just fall into the trap?"

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "You are under normal circumstances. If such a big thing happened today, will the Japanese be entangled with us? If he really entangled with us, then we will be considered to have indirectly supported the uprising troops."

Yu Deshui took a deep breath and said, "If the fight starts, how many can we have left?"

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Even if there is no one left, we must complete the task of receiving it."

Yu Deshui remained silent after hearing this. Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Don't worry, so few of us are not the Japanese who attacked Shuizhi, but just waiting for the uprising team on the road. As soon as Commander Huang's attack occurs, if the Japanese do not respond, the uprising team will be able to leave quickly and they will be safe. If the Japanese knew the actual situation at the first time, wouldn't they still be like blowing up a nest? At that time, they would never fight with us, and would only fight toward Qugou."

Li Qinglin and the others were rushing here, and Huang Yuzhou's troops had already entered the preset position at seven o'clock.

On both sides of the road outside Xiqugou Village, the first brigade, which had been scheduled to act as the main force of the attack, the special agent battalion and the cavalry company were already standing quietly on both sides of the avenue. They had a serious military appearance and clear-cut flags, and were waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

The Third Division's spy team are all Huang Yuzhou's absolute confidants and his soldiers brought from his hometown. As the main force of this raid, they were arranged to be mixed into the team of the First Brigade. Once the attack really launches, these people will rush to the front line, but no one knows how many people will survive in the end.

Huang Yuzhou came down from the horse and walked slowly along the team. From time to time, he sorted out military appearances or guns for his soldiers, or patted the soldiers on the shoulders to show encouragement. These assault soldiers stood up with a firm face. They were obviously ready to kill themselves.

After all this, Huang Yuzhou rode on the war horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers, today is a special day. We want to do something that is worthy of our ancestors. Do you know what we are going to do in this operation?"

"Attack your mind, attack your unpreparedness; kill the Japanese and eliminate traitors, kill the enemy and serve the country." The officers and soldiers standing quietly on both sides of the road replied in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky and their momentum were magnificent.

It was almost eight o'clock, and two Japanese planes suddenly came in the sky, and they flew low above the team's head. Seeing that the Japanese were assisting the team, some soldiers in the team began to panic. Huang Yuzhou conveyed orders to officers at all levels that these two planes were just for reconnaissance, so don't panic.

After the Japanese plane flew over, the Third Division sent a priest on the outpost stationed by Zhangbei Highway to report: "A convoy came here in the distance, with a total of seven large and small cars. It is estimated that Li Fuhe was accompanying Changchuan."

"Finally prepare" Huang Yuzhou calmly issued an order.

The officers and soldiers who were responsible for the final assault mission began to check the gear, bayonets were put on guns, and bullets were loaded. When everyone made their final preparations, Huang Yuzhou personally led his cavalry guard to stand on the road and acted in a welcoming manner.

After a while, a rolling yellow dust on the east road went from far to near, and the convoy at the forefront of the yellow dust was Changchuan's convoy.

The ones who took the lead and the ones who pressed the tail were both Japanese trucks. There was a crooked machine gun on the tops of the driver's seats of these two Japanese trucks. There were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the rear compartments of the two vehicles, and these were guards of Major General Changchuan.

There were five small cars in the convoy, including sixteen Japanese officials including Li Fuhe, Major General Nagagawa, Colonel Ueda.

Seeing Huang Yuzhou and his cavalry guard standing in the middle of the highway and posing for a look of welcoming the inspection, Li Fuhe, Changchuan and others got off the car one after another. These Japanese were all arrogant and arrogant. After getting off the car, they were all sorting out their military appearance and preparing to inspect Huang Yuzhou's troops...
