Fortunately, in Meng Shiqing's heart, because the pressure exerted on her by the clan was already like a mess, she didn't care about Jiang Feng's cold attitude, but praised Jiang Feng a few words:

"Captain Jiang is right to be cautious, so that you can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles......"

It's a pity that even this sentence, Meng Shiqing didn't know whether to say it to Jiang Feng or to herself. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info you can imagine how struggling Meng Shiqing's heart is at this moment.

"It's better for the girl to have something to say......"

Still with a cold attitude, Jiang Feng, who was standing in the courtyard, was like a block of ice, and he didn't understand human feelings at all.

"It's good... I want to send something to the eldest young master, but in addition to the army's mail route, other mail routes are not smooth these days, especially the Wuhan front, I hope Captain Jiang can help me with this......"

The military mail route from Chongqing to the fortress of Tianjiazhen did exist, and Jiang Feng was not surprised that Meng Shiqing could guess this, because Huang Haoran always liked to send some small things and letters to his family from the front line from time to time, and some of the letters were dated on them, and it was easy for those who received them to calculate the time spent on the letter.

The commercial mail route from Wuhan to Chongqing took more than a week to complete before the start of the full-scale war of resistance, and now it is several times slower. And the things and letters that Huang Haoran sent home never took more than three days on the road, and there could be no other choice than the army mail route.

"Yes, as long as it's not too big, too heavy... Transport planes to Wuhan have limited capacity, and the quota for non-military mail is even small......"

Sending Huang Haoran's family's things to Huang Haoran's hands was one of Jiang Feng's jobs, and he had no reason to refuse.

"Then I'll thank Captain Jiang, Thrush, give things to Captain Jiang......"

Meng Shiqing nodded with a smile, and then thanked Jiang Feng, while the little girl Thrush took out a mahogany box, walked into the courtyard and handed it to Jiang Feng.

The mahogany box looks very small, about the same size as the jewelry box commonly used by rich ladies.

Jiang Feng stretched out his hand to take the mahogany box, feeling that it was quite heavy to start, but with such a volume, even if all the gold contained in it would not exceed the weight of the military postal limit.

"Don't worry, girl, it can be delivered to the general in three days at most! If nothing else, I'll take my leave....."

Meng Shiqing smiled and nodded again, and then instructed the little girl standing in the courtyard:

"Thrush, send Captain Jiang ......"

"Not necessarily! Please stay! ”

Jiang Feng declined Meng Shiqing's kindness, turned around and walked out of Meng Shiqing's small courtyard with the box in his hand. After going out and turning a corner, Jiang Feng stopped next to a rockery.

In the shadows under the rockery stood a man in a black tunic who was the deputy head of the Chongqing team of the Secret Service, responsible for the security of the perimeter of the Huang family's mansion.

"Found out?"

Jiang Feng didn't turn his body to face the man in the shadows, but looked around with vigilant eyes.

"That person is a distant relative of the former Qing royal family, that's why Miss Meng calls him uncle, and now the name he uses is Jin Xuezheng.... On the surface, he is a businessman, but there is no serious business under his hands, and it was found that he has a relationship with the Manchurian government and the Japanese... However, for the time being, I don't know his purpose for approaching Miss Meng..."

The man in the shadows spoke softly, but he was able to make Jiang Feng hear it very clearly.

"Qianqing!? It's really lively, our commander has now become Tang Seng meat, and even the people around him have ascended to heaven...... Have you reported all this to Director Xu? ”

Jiang Feng felt that he was already a little out of control of these things, and it was time to hand over the problem to his boss Xu Xinghua.

"The telegram has been sent, but Director Xu has left Tianjia Town and cannot be contacted for the time being......"

"It's good to send it, I don't think Jin Xuezheng will be able to achieve his goal in a short time, or.... The props that will fulfill his ambitions are now in my hands......"

Jiang Feng said as he flipped the mahogany box in his hand, and his movements made the man in the shadow feel a little puzzled, so the man asked:

"Captain Jiang means ......"

"You don't have to know that... Director Xu has already explained: We have an equal relationship, you and I are in the master, you and I only need to be responsible for Director Xu......"

After listening to Jiang Feng's answer, the man in the shadow nodded slightly, then turned to leave, and said at the same time:

"Then do it......!"

Four hours later, Ms. Meng's mahogany box was placed in the cargo hold of a plane bound for Wuhan, which was used by the "military commander."

**************************************************************************

On the road to Bluestone Town, Huang Haoran is running wildly with his guard troops!

Xu Zilong and Xu Xinghua rode horses to guard Huang Haoran on the left and right, and they were really worried that Huang Haoran would have an accident. Just like Xu Zilong and Xu Xinghua worried about in advance, Huang Haoran's riding skills are really not good. On the high-speed warhorse, Huang Haoran swayed like a buoy in the wind and waves, as if he might fall from a horse at any time.

Fortunately, there are no dangers along the way.

But the physical strength that is consumed in large quantities is an unavoidable fact. So when he saw that Huang Haoran's posture on the horse was becoming more and more unstable, and he tilted left and right three or four times in a row within a minute, Xu Zilong knew that he had to speak:

"Total seat! We have been running hundreds of miles in a row, and the war horses are very tired, do you order to rest for a while? ”

Xu Xinghua's voice also rang out,

"Yes, the general seat, both men and horses have limits, and they can't fight continuously like this......"

Listening to Xu Zilong and Xu Xinghua's words, Huang Haoran on the war horse straightened his back again, he tried his best to clamp the belly of the war horse with his legs, stepped on the pedals, and then shouted loudly:

"I want to get off the horse and rest, but time waits for no one! The 99th Division is advancing! My soldiers are on their way! We must be ahead of time! ”

Xu Zilong and Xu Xinghua did not give up in front of Huang Haoran's strength, they knew that Huang Haoran had reached the limit immediately, and if they continued to run wildly, it would be very dangerous!

"Total seat! You can't do this! A distance of 400 miles, it is impossible to run to the end in one go! Then the war horse will be tired to death! ”

Because he was too worried about Huang Haoran's safety, Xu Zilong couldn't take care of some taboos when he spoke, and he even said such unlucky words as "war horses will be tired to death".

Huang Haoran seemed to be persuaded by Xu Zilong's presumptuous advice, and his tone began to change:

"Got it, I've already scheduled a break....."

Xu Xinghua and Xu Zilong's hearts burst into ecstasy, as well as the soldiers who were guarding Huang Haoran's side, they also felt that this was a very good thing.

"When? When, exactly? Total seat! ”

Xu Xinghua decided to force Huang Haoran to determine the time of rest, he knew that Huang Haoran rarely changed when he spoke, so Xu Xinghua wanted an accurate time, whether it was an hour later or two hours later, there was always a hope.

What everyone didn't expect was that Huang Haoran on horseback suddenly laughed, he let go of a hand holding the reins of the horse, raised it high into the air, and then said loudly:

"When I fall off this horse, you can rest!"

Then, the raised arm fell sharply and pointed forward!

"Soldiers! Follow me! Advance! ”

This is an order issued by Huang Haoran!

"Onward! Follow the general! ”

This is the roar of the officers and soldiers on the horse!

No way! It's unstoppable! Xu Xinghua and Xu Zilong quickly exchanged glances, and they saw the same answer in each other's eyes!

In that case, don't think about it anymore! Just follow the general! Perhaps, in the face of the crazy Japanese, what the Chinese need is an even more crazy general!

Running four hundred miles in a row, why not? Someone has to make the impossible possible!

At this moment, every officer and soldier in the horse team believed that that person was their general--- Huang Haoran!

The torrent of war horses gathered along the highway to the east, like a frenzy!

*************************************************************************

In the mountainous area of western Anhui, the vanguard of the 99th Division, the 531st Regiment.

In the dark night, under the leadership of the guide, the brigade of the 531st Regiment moved forward on the rugged mountain road. Due to the control of the lights, the officers and soldiers could only observe the road under their feet by the natural light of the moon and stars in the sky. When passing through some too dangerous sections, in order to prevent officers and soldiers from falling off the cliff with one foot, Zhang Hao would also order the soldiers to remove the gaiters and knot them into ropes, and then march after stringing them back and forth.

This interspersed journey of the 99th Division was not very smooth from the beginning! As soon as the troops stepped into the mountains, the guides borrowed from the Dushan Town Militia immediately made a big mistake!

Although the guides of the militia were familiar with the mountain roads, they had no idea of marching and fighting. Therefore, they took it for granted that they should take the 99th Division to the nearest mountain road, but they did not consider other factors at all. As a result, good intentions did bad things, and the guides actually took the brigade of the 99th Division on a very difficult path.

A few people walking a mountain road and a large army walking a mountain road are definitely two completely different things! This is because this kind of mountain path is basically a mud road that villagers and hunters have stepped on with their feet all year round, and if a large group of people and horses suddenly walk, the fragile road surface without a foundation will be overwhelmed, and the soil will quickly be trampled and rotten, and then it will become extremely difficult to walk!

This is only the situation after the 531st regiment, if all the goose regiments of the 99th Division this attack walked along this trail, they might be able to trample it into a muddy pond!

In the face of such an accident, the advance speed of the 99th Division could only inevitably lag far behind the predetermined plan.

Zhang Hao looked at the marching brigade that couldn't raise the speed on the mountain road, and he was sweating in a hurry, so in the end he could only decide to let the troops stop and rest in place first, and then go to discuss with the guides to change a new marching route.

"Relay the order, rest in place! Call me all the guides from the front and rear companies, we can't go on so blindly anymore! ”

As the order was issued, the officers and men standing on the mountain road began to relay to both ends of the line in a continuous relay, and soon the advancing queue stopped.

"Map!"

"Give! Tuanza! And flashlights! ”

After obtaining the map and flashlight from the staff officer, Zhang Hao sat on the rocks on the side of the road and began to study. In order to prevent the beam of the flashlight from going too far, Zhang Hao first unfolded the map, turned the flashlight upside down on the top of the map before turning on the switch, and then he held the handle of the flashlight and slowly lifted it up, so that the light from the flashlight would only hit a small area on the map, which was enough to look at the map.

"Tuanza, the guides have arrived!"

"Quick! Come here! ”

The guides of the Dushan Town People's Regiment were already a little embarrassed to see Zhang Hao at this time, before leaving, Old Man Han praised them as the children of Dushan Town, but they made a mistake as soon as they came up, and they were involved in the 99th Division, which is really a bit of a big deal!

The commander of the 99th Division also made a special trip for our group of people! If I had known that this was the current situation, I was afraid that people would not have made this trip!

In a word, the face of the Dushan Town Militia... It's a big loss!

Hearing that Zhang Hao still used the word "please" to them at this time, the guides of the militia felt even more embarrassed.

"Head Zhang! You might as well scold us! We made a mistake, and you're still so polite, it's really... It's ......."

Affected by psychological fluctuations, the guides were "real" for a long time, and they couldn't say the next half of the sentence.

"How can I blame you all! Have you ever experienced such a scene, we are not thoughtful, and we did not make the requirements clear when choosing the interspersed line, but just blindly hoped for speed! As a result, when I walked on this trail, I realized that there are some roads that you can't get up fast even if you want to......"

Zhang Hao knows very well that now is not the time to hold accountable, and the top priority now is to take the troops out of this damn sheep intestine path! Then speed up and get back all the lost time!

"Ladies and gentlemen! How far does this trail have to go to connect to a decent mountain path? We have no experience in making mistakes in the front, buy a lesson, and we can't choose the wrong way in the back! ”

Just now, Zhang Hao blindly excused the guides, which had made the guides very embarrassed, and now when he heard that Zhang had something to ask for, he rushed to be the first one by one, for fear that he would not be able to seize this opportunity to atone for his sins.

"Forty miles! Forty miles forward can be connected to another mountain road, the road is relatively wide, enough to pass two batches of mules and horses side by side, the road surface is also good, although it is still yellow mud, but it is all solid, when the merchants of Dushan Town walked this mountain road before, they also used horse-drawn carriages! ”

"That's right! As long as we get on that road, we can go all the way to our intended destination! ”

Zhang Hao calculated for a while, and found that according to the current marching speed, it would take at least two hours for his troops to complete the remaining forty miles of the sheep intestine trail! You must know that his progress has fallen behind a lot now, and if he takes another two hours, the officers and soldiers of the 531st Regiment will be able to break their legs and not be able to recover the lost time.

"Is there any other choice? Ladies and gentlemen! My troops and I really don't have time! ”

Fortunately, after learning of the troubles encountered by the 531st Regiment, the division commander Qian Guoliang had ordered the 533rd Regiment and the 534th Regiment at the rear of the marching brigade to divert and move forward to avoid making mistakes.

At the very least, there will be two regiments of the 99th Division that can arrive at the scheduled battlefield before the scheduled time!

It's just that the 531st Regiment is the vanguard, but it can't be a ......

"Yes! Captain Zhang! There is a place called Tiger Leaping Abyss seven or eight miles ahead, and the two mountain cliffs are separated by a distance of one or twenty steps. ”

Finally, a middle-aged guide proposed a possibility, but was immediately suppressed by the gossip of opposition. The middle-aged guide was obviously unconvinced, and immediately quarreled with the other guides.

"No! Not! There is no bridge in the Tiger Leaping Abyss, how can the army get by? ”

"Who said there was no bridge, wasn't there a single-plank bridge there before?"

"You also know that in the past, the single-plank bridge was rotten a long time ago, and now there is nothing! My brother and I walked that way in the summer, and finally we retreated because we couldn't cross the Tiger Leaping Abyss! ”

Such a quarrel was useless, and Zhang Hao was not prepared to let it continue. Two cliffs separated by a distance of one or twenty paces don't sound like moats! And this mountain is full of thick trees, and it shouldn't be difficult to build a bridge!

Anyway, now that you can't catch up with the step-by-step schedule, it's better to close your eyes and gamble!

"Good! I've decided! Send a company to follow you to Tiger Leaping Abyss to have a look, and if we can build a bridge, we'll change the route!" If it can't be erected, the brigade will continue to move forward......"

This is indeed the best way at the moment, so Zhang Hao's proposal was unanimously approved!

After receiving the order, under the leadership of the middle-aged guide, the officers of the 531st regiment of a company broke away from the brigade and advanced alone. As they passed by their brothers' companies, they collected all the tools they had in the company that could be used to cut down and build bridges......

Bluestone Town, Corps Headquarters of the 4th Corps.

Among the first-level headquarters of the corps and group armies under Huang Haoran, Li Pinxian's corps headquarters is the farthest away from the line of fire, more than 400 miles!

This number at least shows that Li Pinxian is not the kind of general who likes to take the lead, in fact, Li Pinxian is not even willing to stay with his front-line combat troops now!

This is very different from Li Pinxian's previous performance in the battles of Taierzhuang and Guangji!

What is the reason why Li Pinxian has changed so much in such a short period of time? This has to start with Li Pinxian's background!

Li Pinxian is a native of Cangwu, Guangxi, graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, and rose from platoon commander to army commander under Tang Shengzhi. Later, Tang Shengzhi's army was defeated and collapsed, and Li Pinxian took refuge in the Gui department, relying on the relationship with the classmates of "Xiao Zhuge ", and his ranking in the Gui department was only below Chief Li, "Xiao Zhuge " and Huang Xuchu.

joined the local small group and had a good status, which made Li Pinxian have to consider the interests of the small group more when dealing with problems!

The 4th Corps under Li Pinxian had a total of three group army-level units, in addition to his own 11th Group Army of the Gui lineage, there were also the 29th Group Army of Wang Zhanxu of the Sichuan Army and the 28th Group Army under the command of Liu Ruming, the general of the Northwest Army, which can be said to be a large collection of miscellaneous troops.

Such a force will inevitably want to keep a hand when cooperating with the Central Army, to put it bluntly, the miscellaneous troops are afraid of being crippled in front and then swallowed by the Central Army, and Li Pinxian and these generals under him are of course no exception...... (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
