Xu Rui had already crossed the Xiasha Bridge, but when he turned around, he saw that Wang Husheng was chasing after him in a hurry.
"Huh..." Xu Rui quickly reined in his horse and waited for Wang Husheng to catch up.
After a while, Wang Husheng caught up and said breathlessly: "Old Xu, come out, come out, we understand what happened."
Xu Rui's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface he remained calm and asked, "Old Wang, what happened?"
"Pucheng!" Wang Husheng gasped, "The Wannan Independent Regiment of the National Army in Pucheng is having internal strife. The regiment leader Wang Yi and the chief of staff Yang Banan have long had a grudge, and this time they finally started fighting."
"It turns out to be the Wannan Independent Group." Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let them fight."
"Old Xu." Wang Husheng knew that Xu Rui was joking, but he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "I know you have a problem with Yang Bayan, so I won't deal with it, but this is a big deal. Wannan is independent. I know better than you who the leader of the regiment, Wang Yi, is. He is a beast. If he is allowed to kill Yang Banan, the Wannan Independent Regiment will probably become a thorn in the side of our Dameishan Independent Regiment."
"The inner enemy? Just because of the Wannan Independent Group?" Xu Rui said disdainfully, "Old Wang, you really think highly of him. I'm not bragging. Just because of Wang Yi's bullshit independent group, its combat power is even that of the former security team in Meizhen. Even worse, I even destroyed the Kawaguchi detachment, why are you afraid of him? It only takes one infantry company to destroy him!"
Wang Husheng thought the same thing. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Wannan Independent Regiment is really nothing compared to the Dameishan Independent Regiment. Then he changed the topic and said: "Yes, the combat effectiveness of the Wannan Independent Regiment is indeed not worth mentioning, but Pucheng's The position is not trivial, if Wang Yi surrenders to Little Japan and becomes a traitor to the puppet army, he will be in trouble after all, right?"
"That's true." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Well, let's let Gangzi's cavalry battalion go and kill this Wang Yi. At the same time, Yang Banan will owe me a favor."
"I think so too." Wang Husheng said happily, "I will inform Battalion Commander Tie right away."
After saying that, Wang Husheng rode his horse back and hurried back. Xu Rui also turned around, waved to Leng Tiefeng and several members of the Langya team, and the group of ten people rode on their horses again.
Just this morning, the independent regiment reached a joint operation agreement with the four detachments.
As the vanguard force, Xu Rui will personally lead the Langya Squadron to sneak into Feicheng to investigate the deployment of the Japanese army and arsenal and other strategic points in Feicheng to prepare for the launch of subsequent plans. At the same time, he will contact Nan Batian and let them Nan Batian came forward to contact Andalutai, and then under the pretext of the expansion of the first brigade of the puppet army, the three main infantry battalions of the independent regiment and the machine guns should be connected in batches into Feicheng. Then, the four detachments would move from the Tongcheng area overnight. Set off.
Of course, these are only three major steps in the overall combat operation.
In addition to these three main steps, there is also a detailed action plan. Based on previous war games, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has tried its best to take into account the difficulties it will encounter, the risks it will face, and possible accidents. , and also made a detailed emergency plan. It can be said that this is the most thorough combat operation since the establishment of the independent regiment. Some links are even as detailed as when and where each member of the Wolf Fang team should appear.
Leng Tiefeng rode a few steps to catch up with Xu Rui and said, "Old Xu, actually you don't need to go now. You just want to conduct battlefield reconnaissance. Don't you think I can't even do this little thing?" ?”
"I'm afraid not," Xu Rui said, "because Gao Hanting asked to meet me in Feicheng."
"What did you say?" Leng Tiefeng said in surprise, "Gao Hanting asked me to meet you in Feicheng?"
Xu Rui smiled and nodded, and added: "Commander Gao probably wants to see if I have the courage before deciding whether to devote all his troops to fight Feicheng with us. It just so happens that I also want to meet this legendary fighter." The immortal Gao Hanting is a character who made even Wei Lihuang disgraced."

"Ho-chin, ho-chin! Ho-chin!"
Gao Hanting sneezed three times in a row, then touched his nose and cursed, "Damn it, which bastard is scolding me behind my back? If I catch him, I will have to crush his balls."
Xiao Huadong took the opportunity to step forward and persuade: "Commander, I think we should be cautious. You are the commander of the fourth detachment. With the safety of nine thousand officers and soldiers on your shoulders, how can you take risks lightly?"
"Dangerous place? What dangerous place? Can Feicheng be considered a dangerous place?" Gao Hanting said cheerfully, "Back then, I dared to even break into Wei Lihuang's headquarters, let alone Feicheng? Don't worry, Old Xiao, there is no one who can kill me, Gao Hanting." He was born in his mother's womb, but I am still alive and cannot die."
Gao Hanting had the confidence to say this. He had survived the difficult three years. Compared with those days, his life now was like a fairy. Besides, he was indeed eager to meet Xu Rui. The reason why we chose to meet in Feicheng was to test Xu Rui's courage and see if he dared to take risks alone.
After all, seeing is believing and hearing is false. Before meeting Xu Rui, Gao Hanting expressed doubts about Xu Rui's previous actions. Only after meeting Xu Rui and having contact with him, Gao Hanting would act based on his own experience. Only by making a judgment can we determine whether Xu Rui is trustworthy and decide whether to devote all the troops of the four detachments to participate in the operation.
Now, the four detachments and the independent group have only reached a temporary agreement.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Gao Hanting, Xiao Huadong could only retreat and do the next best thing: "Commander, then bring more people with you."
"Old Xiao, you are confused again." Gao Hanting said, "Feicheng is the territory of the Japs. If there are too many people, it will be easy to expose them. If there are not too many people, I will take Biaozi there."
Shi Biao was a guard of Gao Hanting. He had been a fire and water monk in the Shaolin Temple in his early years and was quite good at boxing and kicking. During those three most difficult years, Gao Hanting was in danger several times. It was only because of Shi Biao's desperate protection that he finally escaped safely. , so Gao Hanting trusted Shi Biao very much.
"By the way, where are the people from the Independent Regiment?" Gao Hanting asked again.
"People from the Independent Regiment?" Xiao Huadong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized that Gao Hanting was asking about the American reporter and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment who protected the American reporter. He immediately replied, "Judging from the time, they should have been there by now." We’ve arrived at Ketan, and we’ll reach Lujiang County in about two hours.”
"Arrived in Ketan?" Gao Hanting said happily, "Let the guard company get ready quickly."
Xiao Huadong said: "Commander, do you really plan to let the guard company compete with others?"
"Of course, why not?" Gao Hanting said, "I just want to see how good the people of the Independent Regiment are. A mere regiment can actually eat up a Japanese detachment."
Xiao Huadong said: "But they are just an ordinary infantry platoon, but our guard company is an elite selected from the more than 9,000 people in the entire detachment. Isn't this comparison a bit unfair?"
"How do you know it's an ordinary infantry platoon?" Gao Hanting said disapprovingly, "Would Xu Rui send an ordinary infantry platoon to protect American journalists?"
"Yes." Xiao Huadong was right. Xu Rui would not send an ordinary infantry platoon to protect American journalists. So this platoon is probably an elite member of an independent regiment. It can really compete with the security company. Let's see. Which one is better, the elites of the independent group, or the elites of the four teams
Xiao Huadong immediately went down to make arrangements.

He Shuya and the others encountered a little trouble at this moment.
He Shuya and the others received Associated Press reporter David in Yixiu Town near Anqing. At this time, Anqing and the route from Anqing north to Huaining were still under the control of the National Army, so they did not encounter danger along the way because they were The guards had the general documents issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs, so the passes along the way were smooth.
After passing Huaining, you will reach Tongcheng. This is the territory of the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army. The four detachments are friendly forces of the independent regiment, and their safety is more guaranteed. Therefore, after passing Tongcheng, He Shuya inevitably relaxed, and he was about to reach Lujiang. , was about to enter the headquarters of the four detachments, but encountered trouble.
When passing a mountain col, a group of bandits suddenly sprang out from the rocky beaches on both sides and surrounded them.
Originally, as long as He Shuya was a little more vigilant and sent a few soldiers to the front line, the existence of this group of bandits would be discovered in advance. In this way, whether it was a detour or an ambush to deal with this group of bandits, it would be a piece of cake. But now because of A moment of carelessness put the entire platoon in danger.
There are more than a hundred bandits, and although they have a variety of weapons, they are fierce.
"Put down the gun, put it down, or I'll beat you to death!" A gangster leader with a sinister face waved the twenty-shot box cannon in his hand and shouted repeatedly, "Put down the gun quickly."
He Shuya and the soldiers of the escort platoon were calm and composed, but the American reporter David and the Chinese translator Liang Yixiao he hired for a monthly salary of 20 US dollars were frightened. Liang Yixiao was born in a small landowner family and had been pampered since childhood. He had never seen him before. In such a scene, when she screamed and turned around to run away, He Shuya quickly reached out and grabbed her.
Liang Yixiao's scream immediately attracted the bandit's attention.
There was a little leader with a pointed head and monkey cheeks who immediately said with a big smile on his face: "Master, I didn't expect that there is such a handsome little girl here. Let's snatch her back and give her to my elder brother as his wife, hehe."
As soon as Liang Yixiao heard that he was going to be snatched back by the bandits to be the wife of the escort, Liang Yixiao suddenly became more and more frightened, and even his teeth began to chatter.
He Shuya held Liang Yixiao's jade arm and could feel the fear in her heart. At that moment, he softly advised in his heart: "Don't be afraid, we are here."
Liang Yixiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and instinctively grabbed He Shuya's left arm tightly, just like a drowning child grabbing straw on the surface of the water. Liang Yixiao grabbed it so hard that her nails were deeply embedded. He pinched into He Shuya's arm flesh, He Shu frowned, but did not show it after all. (To be continued.)
