Woniu Mountain is about 10 kilometers east of Xingxian County.
Qian Bojun led more than 1,000 soldiers from the first battalion of the 358th Regiment, a transport team of more than 350 mule carts, and more than 2,500 skilled workers, and was about to arrive at Woniu Mountain.
A scout cavalryman from the 358th Regiment in front rode up to Qian Bojun, gave a military salute and said: "Report to the battalion commander, Woniu Mountain is ahead, and the Eighth Route Army has arrived!"
Qian Bojun, who was riding on horseback, looked slightly moved: "The Eighth Route is so fast, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Although he came to trade under Chu Yunfei's order, Qian Bojun was still very cautious, fearing that he would be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.
The current combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in Northwestern Shanxi is such that even the Japanese army is afraid of it, let alone the Shanxi-Sui Army.
"Nothing unusual was found," the scout cavalry replied.
Qian Bojun then ordered: "Continue to alert both wings. If any abnormality is found, fire a warning shot immediately."
"Yes, battalion commander!"
The scout cavalry turned around and rode away quickly.
Qian Bojun's alert eyes scanned the surrounding wilderness and waved his hand: "Keep going!"
About half an hour later, Qian Bojun finally led the team to the trading location.
Looking at all the trucks parked on the highway, at least more than 100 of them, Qian Bojun's lips twitched, this new group is really damn rich.
No wonder the new group of people came so quickly.
The truck bed was covered with a green tarpaulin. Qian Bojun guessed that there should be American equipment and ammunition under the military green tarpaulin on the truck bed.
Qian Bojun's lips curled up slightly, his troops were about to use American equipment.
In front of the convoy, there were several jeeps parked, and Qian Bojun rode forward with a few guard cavalry.
Seeing several Eighth Route Army officers jumping out of the jeep, Qian Bojun got off his horse.
The Eighth Route Army officer in the lead was about the same build as himself, but his eyes were extremely sharp. When they met, the two sides gave each other a military salute.
Qian Bojun said: "I am Qian Bojun, commander of the first battalion of the 358th regiment. I came here to trade on the order of my regiment commander. Are you from the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?"
"I am Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion of the new regiment." Zhang Dabiao's eyes were sharp and he asked straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense, "Have you brought anyone here?"
"Everyone has brought them." Qian Bojun asked, "Have you brought the goods?"
"I've brought all the goods," Zhang Dabiao replied, "They're all in the car."
Qian Bojun looked at the convoy of the Eighth Route New Regiment again, and then nodded: "Okay, let's hand over the people and deliver the goods."
