Chapter 3 Let the bullets fly for a while
If I just met that group of bandits on the road, it was just an episode on the way. Then, along the way, there were too many episodes like this. Even Hu Biao sighed, did he have a grudge against the bandits, and why did he stare at him?
But for the horse team guides who were walking along the way, from the initial worry and fear to the heartfelt admiration from the end, even if many people have guessed the identity of Hu Biao and his party, they never thought that Hu Biao and his party would be so powerful.
A team of more than 300 people just arrived in Shillong. The bandits who tried to attack and ambush along the way were all dealt with by Hu Biao. Even the most amazing thing is that Hu Biao's troops have not been damaged, but have increased a lot.
The reason is very simple. The amount of spoils seized was too much, and Hu Biao bought limited horses. In desperation, in addition to burying a large number of supplies along the way, Hu Biao also selected some of the captured bandits who deserved to be rescued as coolies.
From beginning to end, the members of the horse team had no chance to intervene and help, and most of the time they stayed aside to watch the goods and watch the show. Whether the bandits ambushed during the day or sneak attack at night, they would be discovered by Hu Biao and his party in advance, and their plans would be ruined.
Perhaps knowing that Hu Biao and his party were not easy to mess with, they were unwilling to let Hu Biao and his party go, and finally came up with a way to fight together. When they arrived in the area of Echeng (Baise in the later generations), nearly a thousand bandits launched a strong attack.
What shocked the members of the horse team was that in the face of the bandits attacking, Hu Biao and his subordinates were very calm and quickly arranged fortifications. Looking at the grenade launcher taken out of the box, the members of the horse team were completely shocked.
Many members of the horse team even talked privately: "Boss, these guys aren't really Japanese, are they?"
"I think it shouldn't be! If what I expected was not bad, they should be the official army!"
"Official Army! How do the official army use the Japanese weapons? Those hand cannons and grenades are obviously the Japanese weapons!"
"They're not captured by the government army! Don't think about it, be honest and take good care of the goods. Have you ever seen such a polite Japanese? We met the government army inspectors before, and didn't they find anything? Don't make a fool of yourself!"
Looking at the quickly set up grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns, members of the horse team who acted as guides, they finally knew why Hu Biao was not afraid of bandits. With such weapons and equipment, even if those bandits attacked in groups, they would probably not get any advantage.
The final result was as speculated by the members of the Horse Team. The bandits with nearly a thousand people were completely defeated by Hu Biao's task force after only two rounds of attack. Not only did they leave the dead bodies in the ground, the surviving bandits were also captured or shot dead.
After the battle ended, Hu Biao still sent some people to take over the bandits one after another. Not only did he seize a large amount of money, he also seized a large number of weapons, and those that could be used were confiscated by Hu Biao.
Considering that the horse team often had to go to these places in the future, Hu Biao specifically told the team responsible for the clearing to bury a batch of weapons and supplies near the highway. Next time they traveled here, there was no need to worry about not being able to temporarily provide supplies.
Hu Biao was also a little surprised when he arrived in Goose City. Because he knew what the future generations were called, he thought for a while and said, "It seems that I should let the bullets fly for a while! I just fired too fast and didn't feel anything!"
Thinking of a movie I watched in my previous life, Hu Biao felt that it was really similar to him at this moment. The only difference was that the county magistrate who took the train in the movie was riding. At this moment, he could only walk on two legs.
Just as the team was about to leave Goose City, the reconnaissance team behind the palace heard a message: "The Goose City Security Group is hanging behind us, with unknown intentions! Boss, do you want to warn me?"
Knowing that in the future, I will inevitably deal with the security team that transited through the border. Although I don’t know what the intention of these people chasing them, Hu Biao still said: “Old Qin, bring some people over and tell them not to continue following them. I have no time to pay attention to them.
Also, I warn those guys that I don’t want to cause trouble but I’m not afraid of trouble. If they really think that we are bullying for the first time, don’t blame me for not giving face to the two commanders Li and Bai. Change your military uniforms and give them a little warning!"
"clear!"
Although many security commanders in the county towns were wearing the rank of colonel at this time, as Hu Biao's old subordinate, Qin Tianyou was also promoted to lieutenant colonel. He, as a lieutenant colonel, had registered his rank in the military headquarters, so naturally it was not the security commanders in such small county towns could manage.
Before coming, Hu Biao greeted Bai Chongxi and said that he would not have any conflicts with the local garrison. The premise was that while he did not cause trouble, he did not want the local garrison to cause trouble for him. If anyone is disobedient, Hu Biao will inform him of the situation first.
If Li and Bai cannot solve the problem as soon as possible, then Hu Biao will teach those who are in trouble in the way he is best at teaching a lesson. There is only one meaning. While not causing trouble, Hu Biao and his party are not afraid of trouble!
The group of bandits who had just defeated the group of bandits, and soon attracted the security team stationed in the local area. There was no need to investigate at all. Hu Biao also knew that there must be someone in the security team colluding with bandits. This kind of thing is very common in this era.
Even if Hu Biao doesn't want to show his identity as a major general, if someone really wants to put on airs, Hu Biao doesn't mind letting the other party feel the general's anger. When the subsequent troops move over, he doesn't take the surrounding security forces seriously at all.
After leaving the team and changing clothes together, Qin Tianyou looked at the security team chasing him all the way, and said calmly: "Shot a gun and warn!"
The "bang" gunshot shocked the officers and soldiers of the security regiment chasing. The officers and soldiers running in the front soon saw Qin Tianyou and his party standing on the road. Seeing Qin Tianyou and his party wearing clothes, soldiers soon said, "They are the official army!"
The security commander who was originally chasing him on horseback saw Qin Tianyou and his party, who were obviously different from their military uniforms, began to mutter: "No! Their military uniforms are a little different from us, and they seem to be the uniforms of the Central Army!"
"What should I do if the group seats are there? Do I have to surround them?"
"Don't worry! First battalion commander, go over and ask, who are they?"
The first battalion commander was a little depressed when he heard the order, but as a subordinate, he didn't dare not go. When he brought people to Qin Tianyou and his party, Qin Tianyou, dressed in lieutenant colonel costume, said with a cold expression: "Who are you?"
When the security battalion commander revealed his identity, Qin Tianyou still said coldly: "Get out! Let your regiment commander come over and talk! If it weren't for your official army, I would have dared to lead troops to pursue my team, I would have wanted to kill you all!"
"Who are you?"
"Do you really want to know? In your identity, if I know my identity, I must detain you. Call your leader over, I don't want to repeat it again. You must know that I have both drunk wine with you, how old are you?"
Taking out the identity of Bai Chongxi, the Guangxi master, the security battalion commander, was indeed shocked to hit the iron plate. Without saying a word, he ran back to the team quickly. After explaining the situation, the security commander who was riding on the horse hurriedly dismounted.
For these security commanders stationed in various places, most of them have small power in the local area. But if they really compare with the two big bosses Li and Bai, they will definitely not be able to compare. If they annoy these two big bosses, they will not end up well.
Everyone knows that Guizhou Province itself is a private land of the Guizhou clan. Even if Chiang Kai-shek wants to intervene, he cannot find a good solution. How could Guizhou Province, a native of the security team leader, dare to offend military figures who have loved drinking with Bai Chong?
Although he was full of curiosity, the security commander hurried forward and said, "Hello, sir! I am Zhou Fucai, the security commander of Echeng City. I don't know if the commander is here, please forgive me! Who is the commander?"
"This is my certificate! There is also the appointment letter issued by you, Li and Bai, who are personally issued by you. You can take a look first. I just hope you remember that you are not allowed to disclose my identity to others. If you miss the news, you will know the consequences.
Of course, if you have any doubts about my identity, you can ask your superiors for advice. I believe your superiors should tell you whether my identity is true or false. Also, I hope that the bandits before would have nothing to do with you!"
Seeing Qin Tianyou taking out his ID and appointment letter, and with this extremely threatening sentence, Zhou Fucai also began to tremble in his heart. He knew very well that if the other party's identity was true, then he would really have to be careful to curry favor with him in the future.
Although the appointment letter informed Qin Tianyou that he was Shilong's new security commander, the appointment letter was covered with private seals of Li and Bai. If the private seal is true, Zhou Fucai could understand that he could not afford to offend someone like Qin Tianyou.
Thinking of the explanation from above that Shillong would send a new county magistrate and security commander, Zhou Fucai immediately realized that Qin Tianyou's identity could not be faked. Although he didn't understand why Qin Tianyou went to a remote place like Shillong, he didn't dare to ask more questions.
With respectful return of the certificate and appointment letter, Zhou Fucai smiled and said, "Sir, this is all a misunderstanding! I heard someone had a fire with a large number of bandits outside the city, so I sent someone to check the situation.
I heard that the party in the exchange of fire used a lot of grenade launchers used by the Japanese. I was worried that the Japanese team would infiltrate, so I hurriedly brought people to check it out. The commander also knew that the situation was tense at this time, and I was also worried!"
"Okay! Those who don't know will not be guilty! Along the way, there are so many bandits we encountered. I have to say that your security teams in various places have not fulfilled their responsibilities of protecting the country and the people. I hope you can pay more attention in the future!"
"Sure! Sure! Speaking of which, I really have to thank the superior for solving so many bandits for our Goose City!"
"This is what we should do! Remember, except for your commander, no one else can tell this. If the news leaks out and investigates it on the top of the mountain, you know the consequences of leaking military intelligence!"
"Understand! Keep it confidential!"
Zhou Fucai, who looked respectful and left with Qin Tianyou and his party, seemed extremely uneasy inside. In his opinion, Qin Tianyou and his party did not seem to be from the Gui Army's direct descendants. But what are the intentions of these people going to places like Shillong?
