"To seek refuge with Ichiro Hirata?"

Xie Baoqing's confidants immediately whispered in surprise: "Master, we have overtaken Ichiro Hirata's transport team!".

"Moreover, Ichiro Hirata's gendarmerie has also attacked our Black Cloud Village before! What's more, we only have about twenty brothers left in our hands now. Will Ichiro Hirata accept our surrender?"

Xie Baoqing gritted his teeth and said: "Heyuan County is only more than ten kilometers away from Heiyun Village, although Heiyun Village is located deep in Hutou Mountain."

"However, for the Japanese military police in Heyuan County, the location of our Heiyun Village is very important. Now that Heiyun Village has been captured by Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, Ichiro Hirata will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating. Let's go to Heyuan.

county seat."

Seeing this, Xie Baoqing's confidants could only nod their heads and said: "Yes, the boss."

Immediately, the two dozen bandits who followed Xie Baoqing and escaped from the secret passage walked all the way through the night in Hutoushan Mountain toward the direction of Heyuan County.

Of course, what Xie Baoqing didn't know was that it was not Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment that attacked his Black Cloud Village.

But Xu Rui’s 303rd Regiment!

At this time, on the main peak of Heiyun Village, in the Tiger Hall.

Xu Rui had already looked at his own soldiers who were cleaning up the scene and had cleared out all the bandits who had been killed in the Tiger Hall.

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!!!"

The sound of fast footsteps came from outside the door of Tiger Hall.

Xu Rui heard the sound and took a closer look. It was Xu Dahu, commander of the reconnaissance company, who walked in quickly.

"Team seats!"

Xu Dahu quickly walked up to Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, stood at attention and saluted, and then reported: "Chief of Staff, the two bandits who were caught by my reconnaissance company in the woods at the foot of the mountain outside Heiyun Village were secretly sent to Heiyun Village.

It has been identified and identified.”

"Of all the bandits we killed, none belonged to Xie Baoqing. In addition, a total of 177 bandits were killed by us in Heiyun Village. The number of bandits in Heiyun Village exceeded 200, and there were about twenty bandits and Xie Baoqing.

They disappeared together."

Hearing this, Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu looked at each other.

Then, Xu Rui said: "Perhaps Xie Baoqing and the other twenty bandits were blown to pieces by our artillery fire?".

"Impossible! Danzai!"

Xu Dahu, commander of the reconnaissance company, shook his head and said: "We attacked Heiyun Village sneakily, and the powerful artillery fire was fired with grenades."

"It's impossible to blow up these disappearing bandits."

After a pause, Xu Dahu, commander of the reconnaissance company, continued, "In addition, all parts of Heiyun Village have been inspected. There are no corpses of the bandits that were blown up by our grenades and grenades."

"That means Xie Baoqing and the other twenty bandits disappeared?"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu's eyes became solemn and he said, "Perhaps he is still hiding somewhere in Heiyun Village?"

"Not sure, Chief of Staff."

Xu Dahu, commander of the reconnaissance company, shrugged and said.

"Send people to search the places in Heiyun Village where men and horses are most likely to be hidden, and search them again for me."

Xu Rui thought for a while and ordered Xu Dahu: "Dig three feet into the ground and you must find Xie Baoqing and the remaining bandits for me."

"Otherwise, if Xie Baoqing and the other twenty bandits hide, we won't be able to control Heiyun Village with peace of mind."

Xu Dahu stood at attention and said: "Yes, group seat."

"Um!"

Xu Rui nodded and waved his hand to signal Xu Dahu to act immediately.

Xu Dahu saluted again, then immediately turned around and left the Tiger Hall.

After Xu Dahu walked out, Xu Rui frowned and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Chief of Staff, do you think Xie Baoqing is still hiding somewhere in Heiyun Village?".

"Not too possible!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Heiyun Village is not a small place, even if it is big."

"What's more, when we sneak attack on Heiyun Village, Xie Baoqing, an old bandit, will definitely make a judgment. We who attacked Heiyun Village must have a lot of troops. In addition, at that time, we had quickly captured the wall in front of Heiyun Village

Hezhaimen. With Xie Baoqing's cleverness, this old bandit will definitely choose to run away."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued, "If it were me, I would choose to run away."

"After all, both the village wall and the village gate have been lost. Xie Baoqing must have understood the situation in front of Heiyun Village at that time."

Xu Rui thought for a while, but agreed with Luo Youdu's guess and said, "If I were Xie Baoqing, I would do the same thing."

"Escape is the best option. Generally speaking, there should be a way out for this kind of bandit village."

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "The cunning rabbit has three burrows!".

"In a bandit's den, there must be a secret way to escape or something like that."

Xu Rui nodded, and then directly summoned a soldier who sent the order, saying: "According to my order, conduct a careful search of the highly concealed places in Heiyun Village that may be the entrance to the secret passage."

"Let the first battalion temporarily guard the wall in front of Heiyun Village and the two mountainous areas on both sides, while the second battalion is transferred in to participate in the search."

The ordering soldier of the 303rd regiment stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, regimental seat." Then he immediately turned around and went out to convey the order.

Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu also patrolled the Tiger Hall and its surroundings.

About twenty minutes later, Xu Dahu, the commander of the reconnaissance company, rushed to Xu Rui and the chief of staff Luo Youdu, and happily reported: "Reporting to the regiment, chief of staff, we found a man behind a hill more than 80 meters behind the Tiger Hall.

The entrance to the secret passage."

Hearing this, Xu Rui and Luo Youdu looked at each other. Unexpectedly, they guessed right. Xie Baoqing actually ran away through the secret passage.

"Walk!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then under the guidance of the reconnaissance company commander Xu Dahu, he rushed to the entrance of a secret passage behind a hill more than 80 meters behind the Tiger Hall.

Seeing that the branches covering the entrance to the secret passage had been moved away, a secret passage entrance one and a half meters wide and two meters high appeared in front of everyone.

"It's really very hidden!"

After seeing the entrance to the secret passage, Xu Rui clicked his tongue in surprise, and then asked Xu Dahu, commander of the reconnaissance company: "Have you sent anyone to enter the secret passage?"

"No, Tuanzao!"

Xu Dahu, commander of the reconnaissance company, shook his head and said: "The situation inside is unknown for the time being. We are waiting for instructions from the regiment."

"Send two skilled reconnaissance company elites into the secret passage, pay attention to safety. Look at the exit of the secret passage, outside Heiyun Village!"

Seeing this, Xu Dahu, the commander of the reconnaissance company, nodded and said immediately: "Yes, regimental seat."

Afterwards, Xu Dahu immediately selected the two most skilled scouts from his reconnaissance company and entered the secret passage.

Of course, Xu Rui and others felt that there shouldn't be any big problems in a secret escape tunnel.

As for an ambush inside?

Think about it, it’s not very likely!
