Chapter 32 Robbery of a convoy of transports
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company blew up the fortifications on the perimeter of the Japanese puppet army camp with grenades, and the cavalry company immediately rushed forward and engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. The two sides fought for a while, all thirteen devils were killed, seven of the puppet soldiers died, and all the others surrendered.
There were also more than a dozen police ruffians in the town office, and after the battle began, these people did not dare to show their faces at all. Despite this, after the battle, after Hu Fei looted the two barracks of the Japanese puppet army, he still did not let go of the town office with the blue sky and white sun flag.
The pseudo-mayor looked at Hu Fei who was standing on his horse, and didn't even dare to say anything, allowing these national army bosses to loot all his warehouses and vaults, including the wallets and rings he carried. The pseudo-mayor always feels that these people are not like the national army, and their way of doing things is like a group of habitual bandits who rob houses and houses! But he didn't dare to say it yet, he was afraid that if he did, he would be killed!
After the battle, Hu Fei counted the spoils in a happy mood. The seized grain, vegetables, meat, eggs, and poultry were almost enough for the officers and men of the brigade to eat for a week; The seized weapons were more than 30 38 large caps, two grenadiers, and of course there were a batch of bullets, but if they were to be averaged over the heads of everyone in the entire brigade, it would be very insignificant.
The battle in Yamaguchi Town is not even a warm-up, at best it can only be regarded as a practice. It seems that in order to get enough ammunition in the future, we will have to rob the arsenal!
In addition to determining that he was going to rob the arsenal to replenish weapons and ammunition, Hu Fei also worked out the direction of the troops' march. Although no one gave him a military order, it was impossible for Hu Fei and his cavalry brigade to stay in this small place of Yamaguchi Town for a long time, there was no devil arsenal for him to rob!
After soliciting the opinions of the generals, Hu Fei finally decided to lead the troops to Yuan Fang's hometown first. There is a Feiyun Village of the Lord of Jin Feilong and Jin Dazhai on Feiyun Ridge in Dabie Mountain, if it is suitable, Hu Fei does not mind taking the troops to Feiyun Village temporarily to join in!
Feiyunling is at the junction of Henan and Hubei, and there is still a long way to go from Shankou Town to Feiyunzhai. After discussing the way out, Hu Fei felt that his heart was open, and the depression of the past few days was swept away. After resting for one night at the Yamaguchi Town Office, early the next morning, Hu Fei led the whole class of the cavalry brigade to set off south and began another expedition.
The pseudo-mayor of Yamaguchi Town took all the employees of the town office and sent them out of Erli until he gave up. Seeing that the suspected bandit force disappeared from sight and could not be seen at all, this person shuddered coldly, and quickly led people back to the town office. When I go back, I pack my things and move with all my family and relatives!
The devil's puppet army was killed so many times that even the two military camps were flattened. He, a town mayor, is still alive and well, and it's strange that the new devil official can spare him when he comes! Taking advantage of the fact that the devils and puppet armies are not here now, why don't he run away quickly! When the clerks in the town office saw that the mayor had run away, what are we still doing here? Let's run, too!
Anyway, there are rich and well-connected people, whether they run to the west or to the south, and they are far away from here. Those poor people who had no money or power ran to the mountains, as far as possible. The poor and the rich have all run away, and in less than two days, this mountain pass town is uninhabited!
When the devils came to inspect a few days later, they were shocked to find that the last time it was still a thriving town, how long has it been, and it has been deserted!
Hu Fei led the cavalry brigade to follow the direction of the sun and always keep moving south. Walking and walking, on this day suddenly two railroad tracks appeared in front of me, there was a railway! Since there is a railway, then there is a direction, let's follow the railway.
From this day on, Hu Fei's troops began to march south along the railway. Later, they also inquired and understood, it turned out that this railway was the main railway artery in China at that time: the Jinghan Railway!
Seeing the railway, Hu Fei of course also thought of the speed and convenience of marching by train. Xinyang is an important station on the Jinghan Railway, and it is undoubtedly much closer to Feiyunling from Xinyang to get off the train, and Hu Fei has the idea of how to take the train.
Things in the world are changing too fast, and before Hu Fei could figure out how to take the free train, business came to the door! Gou Tianxiao reported: There is a transport team of the Japanese puppet army that is passing through Guò from the highway half a mile away, shall we rob it?
Disaster! Why not rob? The transport team of the Japanese puppet army, we are robbing it!
This time it's not an ambush, it's a real armed robbery! Hu Fei took the first, second, and fourth companies of the brigade, and all the cavalry units of the cavalry brigade with him this time!
It's the galloping horses and the hooves rumbling, but this time it's even louder! Three companies, hundreds of war horses running and moving, it is called a big one, it is estimated that it can be heard from ten miles away. Of course, the big convoy in front of him also heard it, and Hu Fei could feel that the big convoy had increased its speed. However, no matter how fast the big team is, it can't outrun the bandits who are good at it!
Hu Fei's Dalmatian horse ran faster and faster, and gradually overtook the last carriage from the side. The two pack horses pulling the cart did not show much competitiveness in front of the Spotted Horse, and after being overtaken by the Spotted Horse, the two pack horses not only did not hurry, but seemed to slow down a little.
The chariot whipped the two pack horses like crazy. But a pack horse is a pack horse, and it doesn't mean that if you whip it hard, it will run fast. If that's the case, what kind of thoroughbred is not a thoroughbred? If you want to draw a champion horse racing with a whip, it is not the horse that is valuable, but the whip in the hand of the trainer!
The two pack horses foamed at the mouth and ran for their lives. The coachman's whip was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and both men and horses seemed to be desperate. Hu Fei was angry when he saw the ghost coachman abusing animals, so he didn't say anything and gave him a shot!
Although he is running, although he is on a horse, a soldier like Hu Fei who has been begging for a living on horseback for many years can naturally make a good shot. Hu Fei only used one shot to kill the animal abuser.
The two pack horses were running so fast just now because the chariot was constantly whipping with whips. Without a whip, the pack horse pulling the cart would naturally refuse to run so desperately. Another reason is that this overloaded gallop just now has also exhausted the body of the pack horse, let alone running fast, and now even if it is a canter, the two pack horses will not be able to run. The carriage slowed down and gradually stopped.
Hu Fei did not stop after knocking down a coachman, and the Spotted Horse continued to gallop forward. Within a few minutes, he grabbed another carriage and shot the devil coachman with the same shot. Gradually, more and more devil coachmen were killed by Hu Fei, and more and more carriages slowed down and stopped. Finally, the spotted horse rushed to the front, and Hu Fei once again shot the devil who was driving the car out of the carriage with one shot!
The high-speed Spotted Horse continued to run forward with Hu Fei, and the cavalry soldiers who followed screamed and put their guns indiscriminately approached the convoy.
