"I'll call the group to inquire where they have arrived!"

Lei Xiong was anxiously paced back and forth in an extremely simple main hall.

This is the temporary residence of the Sixingtuan headquarters and was rented by a local farmer.

The main forces of the three infantry battalions and artillery battalions of the Four Army Regiment have been stranded here for two days.

Originally, according to the Tang Dao Army Order, the main force of the Four Regiment led by Lei Xiong was responsible for opening the way for the baggage team loading a large amount of supplies, leading the baggage team for about 100 kilometers and nearly three days' trip. After the entire army left the Xuzhou War Zone, the whole army then joined forces to Zhengzhou.

But after leaving southern Jiangsu and entering the small town at the junction of Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, an infantry squad responsible for reconnaissance lost news after entering Mangshang Mountain, the only way ahead.

This is a situation that the Four Army Regiment has never encountered before. The infantry squad of the 2nd Battalion and the Third Company of the Second Battalion was responsible for this reconnaissance mission. Although it was basically composed of the Yuanchuan Army, Lei Xiong knew that even if he was fighting with the Japanese army, a fully armed infantry squad would never be swallowed easily and even an alarm would not be heard.

In shock and anger, Lei Xiong did not immediately send more reconnaissance troops into the vast Mangshang Mountain area to search for traces of missing people, but instead sent many people to disguise themselves as civilians to inquire in the town.

Sure enough, this inquiry revealed a lot of news.

Three days ago, an army of more than 10,000 people hurried into the Mangshang Mountain area. Although they did not know the number, Lei Xiong instinctively thought of the 20th Legion that Tang Dao had offended in Xuzhou City.

After receiving Lei Xiong's telegram, Tang Dao immediately contacted Comrade Wu, who was in charge of the 67th Army Headquarters. Not long after, Comrade Wu called: The area where the 20th Army was ordered to station was not only in the Weishan Lake area, and the Mangshang Mountain area was added! Be careful!

Although he didn't believe that the 20th Legion dared to face friendly soldiers in the war zone, Tang Dao would rather put people's thoughts darker than put the lives of more than 2,000 people in the Four-Line Corps in the hands of others.

Two years later, the merciless killing of friendly forces by some people has proved this.

Tang Dao immediately ordered Lei Xiong to stop advancing and no longer send reconnaissance troops to the mountainous areas. Everything will be settled after the entire army converges.

The baggage team that transported equipment and supplies at full capacity was fully connected to the main force led by Lei Xiong, and Lei Xiong could only obey orders and let the three infantry battalions start to set up defenses around the small village where the garrison was stationed.

Everything was according to wartime standards. In two days, the first battalion left behind the village dug three trenches outside the village. The second and third battalions dug temporary field positions on both wings on the rear.

With the current combat power of the Four Lines Regiment, as long as it is not siege of more than three times the enemy's strength, it is fine to withstand for two days. But what made Lei Xiong anxious was that since the Battle of Guangde consumed 80% of the ammunition, the ammunition stock of infantry and artillery of the Four Lines Regiment is outrageously low. After waiting for more than a day, the 20th legion garrison in the mountains found that the Four Lines Regiment had actually begun to set up field positions, and was ready to move.

The scouts who were reconnaissing outside the mountain discovered at least two infantry regiment numbers, which meant that five or six thousand people might attack the main force of the Four Regiment, which had only more than one thousand people at any time.

Like Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, who has seen countless internal struggles and even dared to face swords and guns, will never underestimate the darkness of some people. Those butchers sometimes even more cruel than the Japanese when they kill their own people.

Lei Xiong had heard his old boss talk about how those executioners waved their butchers to ordinary people in Ganzhou a few years ago. Anyone who participated in excessive fields would be killed! The heads of people were rolling, and the villages were slaughtered and households were destroyed. It was said that they could be said to be a thousand miles away. In the end, many soldiers began to refuse to accept military orders, but those who were superiors had no mercy.

However, facing such a dilemma, it was the first time in Lei Xiong's life that he did not want to raise his gun to his compatriots, but when he thought that an infantry squad was still in the hands of those people, his anger was endless. How to make a decision can only be left to Tang Dao, the backbone, to make a decision.

Perhaps, it is not only Lei Xiong who is uneasy to face this sudden situation where he is about to go to war with his own people, but it is also the first time for the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment.

They can kill the enemy or die, but when they face foreign invaders, their hearts are extremely firm, but when they think that the person who was shot or the bullet was actually his own people, what would they feel?

Sad? Sad? Angry?

Maybe, both! It’s extremely complicated.

However, the only thing that is certain is that they are not afraid.

No matter who it is, as long as they dare to shoot at them, their only way is to shoot them back.

This is an army that has been tempered countless times in the war. They trust their commanders and their comrades. No matter who wants to kill them, it is absolutely impossible not to pay enough price.

In Mangshang Mountain!

In a wooden house made of logs, a middle-aged soldier with two Venus stars inlaid on the collar seal was focused on the military map in front of him, until an army colonel shouted "Report!" outside the house.

"Come in!" The middle-aged soldier rubbed his somewhat stiff brows and roared.

Seeing the Army Colonel who was walking in with great strides, he browsed, "How about it, the Four Army Regiment is still holding its troops?"

"Yes, the division seat, the Four Army Regiment seemed to be frightened. Not only did they remain silent, but they also dug a large number of trenches and fortifications around the village where they were stationed, and there was no intention of sending anyone to negotiate with our headquarters!" The Army Colonel stood at attention and replied.

"Oh?" The middle-aged soldier frowned slightly, stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"The division seats say that these four corpses are hard bones. Unexpectedly, they captured his infantry squad and scared them like this. I think it's true that it's better to meet than to be famous!" The Army colonel said arrogantly.

"Yes! I had known that a small infantry squad would have scared the four-ranking regiment like this, so it would be better for us to let them into the mountain." The middle-aged soldier shook his head in a little annoyed. "However, these guys are too cautious. The reconnaissance vanguards are actually leading seven or eight kilometers ahead of their main force. Even if our troops hide deeper, there will be tens of thousands of troops, and they will inevitably find clues!"

"Second, what should we do now?" The Colonel of the Army showed helplessness. "They passed through the normal defense zone of our headquarters. Our headquarters could find reasons to search them and find the new recruits they recruited in Xuzhou, including the little Taoist priest who caused the conflict, and slapped the Commander Tang in the face. But now they don't come at all, and our headquarters can't take the initiative to go out to find their troubles! If the two armies opened fire, the commander of Xuzhou, who had long been dissatisfied with the commander of the army, would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble."

"If you don't come in, it's easy to do. Then let them stay there unless they don't want to leave and stay here and wait for the Japanese to call me. They can just block my troops!" After the middle-aged soldier walked behind his hands for a few more steps, his eyes showed cunning.

"If that awesome Commander Tang wants to negotiate with our department and reply to him, our department is ordered to station Mangshang Mountain, and naturally, it is necessary to strictly investigate all the people in the area. This is the responsibility of our department. When encountering suspected of being unidentified, it will naturally be detained and interrogated!"

"By the way, are there any of the dozen soldiers who were disarmed by our army? "

"No!" The Army Colonel shook his head.

"I'm still quite hard, and two whips were cut off from the water. No one was willing to sign and say that their leader had an affair with him and went to the north to surrender."

"Is that? That means the fight was not fierce enough. Let me continue to beat me! They beat me so hard that they gave in and pointed out the correct surname Tang to me and wanted to surrender to the other side. You also know that the old man hated the most was not corruption and incompetence, but to surrender to the other side. As long as he gave this name to the Tang, not to mention that the 67th Army and the 43rd Army could not get the case, even the theater commander could take me the 20th Army?" The middle-aged soldier showed cruelty on his face.

"Yes! I understand!" The Army Colonel stood attentively and stood upright.

The two soldiers who racked their brains to deal with Tang Dao and the Sixing Regiment might never have dreamed that they would not have to worry about these charges. They did not have to worry about these crimes. After two months, the Sixing Regiment arrived at their destination and refused to return. They "set up camp" in the northern mountainous area to fight fiercely with the Japanese, and their thoughts of "subcoming there" were already obvious.

To Tang Dao's words, what if I'm that person? The big guys advised me to give some face to a principal, so as not to make him angry with high blood pressure. I will change the flag immediately and show you.

And at the moment when the two soldiers were still conspiring, five or six kilometers away from the mountain.

A team of cavalry rushed into the heavily guarded position of the four-way regiment at lightning speed.

The leading soldier entered the entrance of the village, jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the soldiers who were greeting him, untied the black scarf covering his face, and walked towards the village with great strides.

That's Tang Dao.

His face was calm, as if he had no idea that more than a dozen soldiers under his command were missing in the mountains, but tens of thousands of "friendly troops" were eyeing him in the mountains.

Only those who are familiar with him know how angry Tang Dao is!

Just like a volcano, before erupting, it is so calm that it makes people feel palpitations!
