Chapter 229
The situation in Niu Tou's mouth is already tense and is about to break out.
More than 240 cavalrymen directly under the cavalry of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui have been lined up in the wilderness at the entrance of Niutouzui Village. The entire cavalry formation is divided into three rows in front and back, with more than 80 cavalry in each row. All cavalrymen are unsheathed, and the cold blade reflects a heart-pounding cold light under the scorching sun.
At the entrance of Niutouzui Village, the officers and soldiers of the 40th Division's direct guard battalion were also facing a great enemy. A Maxim heavy machine gun and two Czech light machine guns had been set up on the temporary fortifications built in a hurry. The remaining officers and soldiers also raised their hands, including Hanyang-made or even old sleeve rifles, and the black muzzles pointed all at the cavalry outside the village.
Huang Baitao, Chen Shizhang and senior officers of the 40th Division all stood under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, with a serious expression.
The thing that Huang Baitao worried the most finally happened. Huang Baitao originally thought that he would transport this batch of materials to Jingmaolin before the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army reacted, but now it seems that the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army still discovered it. It has to be said that Xu Shijiu's vigilance is really quite high.
"What should I do if the teacher seat? Or not?" The guard battalion commander ran over to ask Chen Shizhang for instructions.
Chen Shizhang didn't dare to make a decision rashly about such a big thing, and turned his head to look at Huang Baitao.
Huang Baitao waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You can't shoot, tell your brothers, and you will close the insurance."
The guard battalion commander hurried away, and Chen Shizhang said to Huang Baitao again: "Military throne, do you want to ask the war zone chief's headquarters?"
"No need for the time being." Huang Baitao waved his hand and refused politely. Of course, Huang Baitao could hear what Chen Shizhang meant. Chen Shizhang meant that the situation here was reported to the War Zone Chief Office. Whether to decide whether to take action was made. In this way, no matter what the final result was, Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang were not responsible.
But Huang Baitao thought more deeply than Chen Shizhang. He knew very well that if the situation here was reported to the superior department at this time, then Gu Zhutong would definitely order to take action without hesitation, because Gu Zhutong could label Xu Shijiu as a robbery of friendly supplies, and he would also be tenable when the lawsuit was fought in Chongqing.
But the problem is that Gu Zhutong only needs to talk, but the officers and soldiers of the army are fighting for their lives.
At this stage, Huang Baitao never thinks that his 25th Army can defeat Xu Shijiu's southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Even if Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang have mobilized the entire Army, and even the Army is ready, before this, the Army needs to first bear the anger of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
Perhaps, when the Army and the main force of the Army arrived, the Army could already revoke its number. Huang Baitao did not want to become a commander-in-law, and was transferred back to the chief's office as a senator to offer.
What's more, deep down, Huang Baitao was unwilling to fight this battle with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Everyone is Chinese. Why do the enemy still kill each other at the moment? If there is anything, you can't sit down and discuss it well?
At the stalemate, a cavalry crossed the crowd from the opposite cavalry formation and leaned over on standard horse stance.
The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion immediately opened the security again and pointed the black muzzle at the cavalry.
"Don't be nervous, put down your gun." Huang Baitao stepped forward to stop the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion. He had already seen that the cavalry was definitely not here to provoke, because he didn't even bring a sabre and came over with empty hands.
Peng Wu slowly walked to the entrance of the village until he was less than ten meters away from the Maxim heavy machine gun that was standing at the broken wall at the entrance of the village. He then stood still. Then his eyes fell on Huang Baitao, who was standing under the old locust tree, saluted the horse on the back, and shouted: "This commander must be the commander of the National Revolutionary Army, Huang Baitao, is he the head of the Huang army?"
Huang Baitao replied casually to the military salute and said lightly: "No, it's just me."
Peng Wu put down his right hand and said solemnly: "Mr. Huang, our commander asked me to bring you a word."
Huang Baitao thought that Xu Shijiu would never have anything good to say, but said, "I listen carefully."
Peng Wu then pointed to Huang Baitao's military supplies that had accumulated like mountains and had not had time to transport away, and said, "Our commander said that we have appreciated the kindness of the military captain Huang. When the war is over, our commander will express something. However, you really don't need to escort this batch of military supplies, just leave it to us."
Chen Shizhang and several senior officers of the 40th Division sneered, thinking that Xu Shijiu was really embarrassed to put gold on his face. In conjunction with our 40th Division, we mobilized our troops to receive supplies, and it turned out to help them in the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. It was ridiculous that he didn't urinate and took care of himself, and he was worthy of it.
Huang Baitao narrowed his eyes slightly. Xu Shijiu asked the cavalry officer to send a message, which sounded quite polite, but was tough from the bottom of his bones. The implication was that this batch of military supplies would never be interfered with by others. Now, it would be difficult for Huang Baitao to think good, but Huang Baitao still wanted to try it to see if he could convince the officer.
"Brother, I think you should know how this batch of supplies came from?" Huang Baitao.
Peng Wu looked at Huang Baitao with an expressionless face. He really didn't know how this batch of supplies came from.
Huang Baitao thought Peng Wu had agreed, and then continued: "This batch of materials was bought from the Shanghai Public Concession by the Military Control Commission, which used a lot of manpower, material resources and risked exposure of the entire transportation line. In this process, it seems that it has nothing to do with your army? Of course, the funds required to purchase materials were obtained by you, but that was also because the Military Control Commission provided information, so no matter what, the Military Control Commission is more qualified to deal with this batch of military supplies than you, right?"
Peng Wu still didn't say anything, because the order Xu Shijiu gave him was to stop the 40th Division and prevent the other party from transporting military supplies. It was nothing to do with him. As for how this batch of military supplies was brought up and how to distribute it, what has to do with him? Moreover, Peng Wu was from an old Red Army and was too lazy to impose the Kuomintang army at all.
Seeing that Peng Wuli was too lazy to pay attention, Chen Shizhang, the commander of the 40th Division, became angry and stepped forward to Huang Baitao and said, "Military throne, what do you mean by a small soldier? Yu Qiandian, just destroy it directly. I don't believe it. Can a mere cavalry battalion stop us? Xu Shijiu really thinks that our 40th Division's officers and soldiers are all decorations?
Peng Wu's cold eyes turned around instantly and stared at Chen Shizhang.
Chen Shizhang's eyes slightly sternly, and in an instant, he felt like he was being stared at by a beast.
Huang Baitao waved his hand to stop Chen Shizhang. Yes, it was not a problem to destroy the cavalry battalion in front of him. The problem was that destroying the cavalry battalion would be equivalent to starting a full-scale war with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Huang Baitao was really unwilling to do this until the end, and Xu Shijiu must have figured out this point, so he dared to send a mere cavalry battalion to intercept the 40th Division.
"If the order is passed, no one is allowed to shoot, otherwise, he will be severely punished." Huang Baitao said with a cold face.
"Yes." Chen Shizhang had no choice but to take the order and turned around and gave his order.
(Split Line)
A few hundred meters away, the old cat, Yan Sanquan, was hiding on the top of a small hill and looking at this place from a distance.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot quickly." The old cat looked at the telescope, muttering something.
Of course, Lao Mao hopes that both sides can fight. As long as both sides fight, it will be difficult to end without seeing life and death. If both sides want to divide life and death, it will be a matter of one or two days. By then, reinforcements from Jiujiang and Hefei have arrived long ago, and they will wipe out both sides in one fell swoop. In this way, the task of intercepting materials will be successfully completed.
Yan Sanquan turned his head and looked at Lao Mao and whispered: "Mr. Lao Mao, why don't we help them?"
In the first gourd battle, Yan Sanquan helped Niu Sigen one by one, causing Niu Sigen to fall into a melee with the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui. However, in the end, it turned out that his move actually led to the trust of Fujido Takayoshi in Niu Sigen, which directly led to the disastrous defeat in the second battle of Hulu Valley.
However, today, Yan Sanquan didn't mind adding another fire.
The old cat was also a little moved, but after thinking about it, he said: "It's daytime now, and it's difficult for us to get close to. Even if we get close, we may not be able to provoke trouble. Let's wait until the night before. It's dark at night, which is easier to create chaos."
"Okay." Yan Sanquan said, "Then let's wait until the evening."
