In Uncle Ma Bandit's lair, the gunfire outside the valley shocked the entire valley. After Uncle Chao dispatched 1,500 elite horse bandits, although there were still more than 3,000 people in the entire secret land, most of them were old and weak women and children, and there were less than 500 young and strong people. This is the last strength left by Uncle Chao to protect the nest.

In the mansion in the center of the valley, Zha Dongzhu carefully sprinkled the kerosene in the sleeve of his clothes everywhere he passed. After Uncle Chao left, in order to prevent her from escaping, Uncle Chao was ready to send someone to keep an eye on her moves. This made Cha Dongzhu's idea of escaping only stillborn. After several escapes and beatings, Cha Dongzhu was already desperate. She will not be willing to commit suicide like this. She originally wanted to take Uncle Chao to accompany her to the funeral to avenge her parents and clansmen, but since the last cuckold incident, before she could take any action, Uncle Chao took most of the horse bandits out to loot. Except for the people who monitored her, no one else dared to approach the central mansion, which showed Uncle Chao's great prestige here.

Such a life of almost captivity made Zha Dongzhu almost crazy with aggrieved desires, she longed for the prairie outside, longed for freedom, missed her family, longed for her lover. In the end, she decided not to wait any longer, since she couldn't pull Uncle Chao to accompany the burial, then pull Uncle Chao's house to accompany the burial. This house was built by Chaoshu in the style of the Han people in Guannai. Many of the wooden structures are made of high-quality Korean pine from the Northeast. At that time, it took a lot of effort to get these red pine woods to Uncle Chao. Although red pine is an excellent building material, it has a lot of oiliness, which is good in the cold places of the Northeast, but it has become a fatal disadvantage in the dry Mongolian steppe. There can be no fire here. In case of fire, it can cause a serious fire. Moreover, Uncle Chao's house and the houses of other bandit families are facing the street, and if Uncle Chao's mansion catches fire, it will even affect the houses in the entire valley. What's more, Zha Dongzhu used the time of "letting off the wind" to fill a wine bottle with kerosene and sprinkle it everywhere he could.

After all, Zha Dongzhu is nominally Uncle Chao's woman, and the people who monitor her don't dare to completely restrict her freedom, just stop her when she is about to escape.

When everything was ready, Zha Dongzhu took out the flint from his arms, looked at the splashing kerosene everywhere, and showed a smile on his face that was about to be relieved.

"Bang!" With a bang, the flames began to ignite in Zha Dongzhu's room and spread rapidly.

"Burn it! Burn it! Dear Immortal, I hope to be able to send me to another world to be with my family! Zha Dongzhu knelt on the ground reverently. Pray that the god of the grasslands, Immortal, will grant her wish.

"Oh no! It's on fire. Uncle Chao's mansion is on fire! Let's put out the fire! ......" Looking at the smoke rushing into the sky in Uncle Chao's old house, the surrounding bandit family members lost their faces, and hurriedly took out wooden basins, buckets and other things from their homes to prepare to put out the fire.

At this tense moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly came out of the valley. All the horse bandits who knew a little bit about guns had a look of surprise on their faces. It should be for them to hear that this burst of gunfire is not something that the horse bandits' riding guns can fire at all. This also shows that there is an enemy outside the valley. Moreover, the enemy's strength is not weak, otherwise the gunfire in the outer realm would not have disappeared so quickly. And this situation will only arise if the alert is taken out.

"Sixth Master, what should we do?" Uncle Chao is no longer there, and the dog-headed military advisor Liudong'er has become the temporary boss. The five hundred young men who ran out of Xiao Guzhong because of the fire all looked at him.

"What to do! Go to the valley and fend off the enemy. If we can't resist the enemy, we will all die! Liu Dong'er said with a pale face. Their lair is extremely secret, and they will not leak when they are idle, and now the enemy takes advantage of the weakness in the valley to appear in their lair, except for the appearance of spies in their lair, that is, Uncle Chao and they have an accident. Thinking of Uncle Chao's ability to escape on the grassland, Liu Dong'er still gave up the second idea. If Uncle Chao really had an accident, it would be impossible for him to run out alone, and he would definitely come back to report the news. Now that no one has returned, it is very likely that there is a spy inside Xiaogu. But in this situation, it is even more difficult to catch the spies.

As soon as the group reached the mouth of the valley, they retreated.

"Sixth Master! Sixth Master! It's the officers and soldiers, and they still have heavy weapons! The retreating bandit shouted in horror. They were fired back by two mortars just now.

"What? How could the officers and soldiers know here! Give Lao Tzu a stand. Otherwise, we're all going to die. Liudong'er must move and see the things in front of him very thoroughly.

"Sixth Master! I can't stand it! It was the Northeast Security Army that came. And there are thousands of them. We're not rivals at all. "The horse bandits have no will to resist in the face of the Northeast Security Army. Just kidding, how can the carbine in their hands be an opponent of heavy machine guns and mortars. And the two sides are not of the same grade at all, and to go to the hard top is to find death.

"Sixth Master! Surrender! Maybe there's a silver lining! A timid horse bandit whispered.

"Die! Lao Tzu has been crisscrossing the grasslands for so many years, and he never knew what surrender meant. Lao Tzu is ready to escape from here, and then re-establish his name after finding the big boss. "Liudong'er doesn't want to surrender. After all, he was in his twilight years. has been a horse bandit for a lifetime, and the result is that there are countless enemies. If he loses his identity as a horse bandit, who knows if the enemy back then is powerful. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, it is a luxury to want to die.

"But Sixth Master, Taniguchi has been blocked by the Northeast Security Army, I'm afraid they will come in in a while. How do we get out? The pony asked. If they were allowed to break out from the Northeast Security Army, they would be looking for death at all, and no horse bandit would follow Liudong'er to do so. After all, there is only one life.

"Don't be afraid, we still have a secret passage here, come with me." Liudong'er was flying like an arrow, and he did not freeze his movements because of old age.

"Let's go!" A large group of horse bandits excitedly followed Liudong'er, and as for their families, they had already left them behind. At critical times, it is their own lives that matter most.

Half an hour later!

"Commander, the entire valley has been taken. Moreover, the secret passage leading to the outside of the valley has also been found, and one of our battalions has already chased it down, believing that without this nest, the remaining horse bandits will not be able to become any climate. And now the fire is under control. After investigation, we know that the fire was set by a woman named Zha Dongzhu. She wanted to die with the house. But I was rescued by our people. The commander of the first battalion of the pioneer regiment said.

"Oh? A woman who is willing to be buried for a horse bandit leader? What are you doing to save such a woman! Since she herself is going to be a chaste martyr, let her die! Cao Biao said expressionlessly.

"No, the regiment leader, this woman was robbed by Uncle Ma Bandit. She tried to escape many times, and finally chose to commit suicide, but unfortunately we caught up. ”

Cao Biao nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let her go, such a weak woman is not worth our fight." Also, let the troops quickly clean up the battlefield, and be sure to get all the horse bandits' belongings out. Damn it. These bandits were so rich that they built such a large house in this small valley. Looking at the buildings around him that were still smoking, Cao Biao said with some excitement.

At the same time, the lairs of the horse bandits were breached. The Northeast Security Army did not go on a killing spree, as long as those who did not resist, they would not massacre. As for the materials looted by the horse bandits for many years, I'm sorry, these are the trophies of the Northeast Security Army, and they must not be let go.

"Dr. Louis, how's it going?" Xiao Wang, the captain of the gendarmerie of the Northwest Military Region, asked a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner doctor. The translator next to him hurriedly translated Xiao Wang's words into French.

"After my preliminary judgment, this man died of poisoning. And it's an unknown toxin. And judging by the expression, this toxin dies extremely quickly. I'm afraid it's a new type of chemical toxin. This use of chemical poisons to kill people is internationally prohibited. Moreover, to be able to produce this new type of chemical toxin, it must have relatively advanced chemical technology, which is completely impossible to produce in the current Northeast. Captain Xiao, with these conditions, I can judge that the person who killed this person must have an extremely good understanding of chemical knowledge, and this poison is definitely not something that ordinary people can have. Dr. Louis had a look of solemnity. You know, the last thing their doctors like to treat is poisoning. After all, there are so many toxins that it is extremely difficult to find an antidote.

"Chemical toxins? Could it be a spy of the great powers? Xiao Forget had a look of excitement on his face, their gendarmerie was the law enforcement agency in the army, and they were supposed to deal with the abnormal things that happened in the army. Guarantee the purity and stability of the troops. It is clear that spies from the great powers were involved. This is a matter of security for the entire force. The gendarmerie must intervene to ensure the safety of the troops.

"Thank you, Dr. Louis, we'll take care of the rest." Xiao Forget said respectfully. Although Louis is not Chinese, since he was hired by the Northeast Governor's Mansion to become a military doctor, he has successfully performed more than a dozen major surgeries, and hundreds of minor surgeries, saving the lives of many soldiers, and the soldiers of the military headquarters also like this bearded gringo more and more.

Seeing off Dr. Louis, Xiao Wang's face gradually became solemn. He said to the people around him: "Save this person's body and send it to Changchun as soon as possible, this deadly toxin must be researched as soon as possible to deal with it." Xiao Forget was not interested in the death of Uncle Ma Bandit, but in the toxins in it, you know, how terrifying it is for a toxin that can poison people to death in an instant spreads on a large scale, if these toxins enter the barracks through food or water, I am afraid that it will cause large-scale deaths of soldiers. If we can't find a solution, I'm afraid there will be big problems. This huge responsibility is not something he Xiao Forget can bear.

Northeast Marshal's Mansion.

Feng Yong rarely summoned his father Feng Delin, Li Jun, and Jiang Baili.

"Big brother, how is the construction of your mansion?" Feng Yong said to Jiang Baili with a smile. Feng Yong took great pains to tie Jiang Baili in order to tie him up. He knew that sworn brotherhood was just a personal feeling, and if there were no common ideals or other more important fetters to bind him, Jiang Baili would probably leave him in the near future. Now that I have really come into contact with Jiang Baili, I know that he can leave his name in history is definitely not in vain, Jiang Baili is extremely intelligent and has extremely solid military knowledge. And the strategic vision is extremely accurate. If it weren't for Feng Yong's experience in later generations, he would probably not even be a fart in front of Jiang Baili with strategic vision. If Jiang Baili lacks something now? It is nothing more than the experience of actually commanding the troops in a big war. In the original time and space, although Jiang Baili was often hired as a military adviser by those in power, the adviser, as the name suggests, asked when he was concerned, and did not care about it. Under the circumstance that those in power seriously lacked strategic vision, no matter how rich Jiang Baili's strategic vision was and how high his tactical literacy was, it would be a shame that he could not be used in China, and throughout his life, although Jiang Baili left a name in history with his military talent, he only became a famous military theorist in the Republic of China. In this life, Feng Yong was willing to give Jiang Baili a chance to change from a military theorist to a real military commander and make up for the biggest regret in Jiang Baili's life.

"Young marshal, I'm alone, what do you want such a big mansion for! You've really killed a hundred miles in doing so. Since coming to Changchun, Jiang Baili has also called Feng Yong Young Marshal like Li Jun, indicating a master-slave relationship, Feng Yong once proposed that there was no need for this, but Jiang Baili still insisted. In the end, Feng Yong let it go.

"Big brother, what you said, you are alone now, but when your mansion is completed, let your father find a good girl for you. With your identity as the deputy commander of the Northeast Security Army, what kind of woman can't be found! With the physique of the eldest brother, it is not easy to give birth to more than a dozen nephews and nieces. At that time, it will be a big family with a family, and we can't say that we will be alone. Feng Yong said with a smile. Li Jun also chimed in.

"Yes, Baili! Report your birthday to the old man, and the old man will let Humble Jing look for you well. Feng Delin, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile. The current Northeast Security Army is not what it used to be, and the officers of the Northeast Security Army have also become the best mate selection standard for celebrities and ladies in the Northeast. Moreover, as the foundation of the Northeast Governor's Office has deepened, the treatment of joining the army has become higher and higher, and the military families have become more and more glorious under the government's rewards. In the three northeastern provinces of the present, joining the army is no longer just a chore.

Jiang Baili was embarrassed. However, there is also a sense of being valued. After all, since he returned to China after completing his studies, he has experienced a lot of time, whether it is in the Northeast, or in Baoding, or even in Beijing. He is only a pawn in the power struggle within the government, and the new-style army that he has built with all his knowledge has not been truly reused, but has become a clown honor guard in the eyes of those in power. This is the biggest helplessness in Jiang Baili's heart. Baoding Military Academy, although he is the nominal principal of the military academy, has no say in the government at all, especially those corrupt bureaucrats, even dare to embezzle the money allocated by the government to the military academy, and even suppress him, the principal. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused him Jiang Baili's bloody school field.

But since coming to the Northeast, Feng Yong has attached unprecedented importance to it, he does not value the position of deputy commander of the Northeast Public Security Army, and he does not attach importance to the position of the principal of the Jilin Army Academy. The reason why he stayed was that he saw a new-style army atmosphere and a vigorous and upward vitality from Feng Yong's Sixth Division. This kind of vigor is not found in the Beiyang government army in the twilight of the day. It is something that the warlord forces everywhere do not have. In Jiang Baili's view, the best mental state in the whole of China at present is Feng Yong's Northeast Security Army and Cai Yi's Southwest New Army. However, perhaps because of the problem of military performance, Jiang Baili always felt that the new army was very immature, far inferior to Feng Yong's Northeast Security Army. Although he understands the training syllabus of the entire Northeast Security Army. However, it was not until he really saw the results of the training and the performance of the troops that he found that the political commissar system, which he could not understand the most at that time, was incomparably harmonious within the Northeast Security Army. Moreover, the reason why the Northeast Security Army had the courage to resist the Japanese Imperial Army was that the political commissar system probably also played a role that could not be ignored. Regarding Feng Yong's original political commissar system, Jiang Baili has gradually admired it from his doubts at the beginning. Although this ingenious system of two commanders has made the command of troops more cumbersome to a certain extent, it has solved to a large extent the problem of self-respect among middle- and lower-ranking officers. Causing the troops to fall from above and condense into a whole. As a result, the top-level officers are more handy in commanding. The grand strategy formulated at the top can also be implemented.

"Alright. I'm calling everyone here because something happened in the Northwest Military Region. The Pioneer Regiment of the Northwest Military Region successfully ensnared five large horse bandits on the eastern prairie with the use of beauty tricks and captured more than 5,000 war horses. It should have been a big feat. But there are also strange things. Feng Yong then repeated the situation transferred by Xiao Wang and the Northwest Military Region.

"A highly virulent chemical virus? Could it be because one of the two surviving people was a spy for foreigners? Li Jun said with a frown. Jiang Baili nodded, and said more explicitly: "It is the most likely to be a Japanese spy!" "After all, the remaining two are both of the yellow race, and they are both of the yellow race, and Japan, which has an extremely stiff relationship with the northeast, has become the biggest doubter.

"I am not here to deal with this matter, but to remind you that since the Northwest Military Region, which has recently been established, has seen the infiltration of spies, presumably there will only be more in other military regions. This gives us a wake-up call. The Northeast Security Army blindly expanded, ignoring the issue of the purity of the ranks. This is an issue that deserves attention. Now that the big war is imminent, it is not suitable to carry out the operation of fighting. But there will always be a day when the war stops, and we must be prepared. The government should also develop a security plan. These spies must not be allowed to ruin the fruits of our victories that we have won so hard. ”
