Chapter 98 A Newborn Calf Is Not Afraid of a Tiger
Because of Zhao Gang's previous experience, the brigade commander specially sent a company of soldiers to escort Li Wenjie to the independent regiment.
In order to avoid encountering patrolling devils or traitors who were looking for money, they specially avoided the main road.
It was because of this choice that Li Wenjie encountered the 358th Regiment's transport team that was fleeing.
"Political commissar! Something is happening!"
The scout at the front of the team immediately discovered a group of people in military uniforms running wildly on the mountain path in the distance. He immediately told Li Wenjie the news.
Although Li Wenjie's ability is slightly inferior to Zhao Gang, he is not an embroidered pillow who can only talk about war on paper.
When he found through the telescope that the fleeing troops in front were friendly troops, he immediately began to deploy firepower distribution and marching formations.
"Everyone prepare for battle! We can't stand idly by when friendly troops are in trouble!"
They were all riding horses. Although the mountain road was rugged and there was a distance between them, they still caught up in less than ten minutes.
Li Wenjie pulled the reins to stop the horse under his crotch, and then saluted the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army in the front and said:
"Hello comrade! I am the political commissar of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment! What happened here?"
Seeing the friendly army appear, the captain who had just surrendered had a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Although he would not be shot if he returned, flesh wounds were inevitable. If he could recapture the supplies with the help of the Eighth Route Army, it would be a great thing.
"Report to the commander, we are the transport team of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, you must help us!"
Before taking office, Li Wenjie deliberately learned about the surrounding situation and had some understanding of this ace unit of the Jinsui Army. The soldiers of these transport teams were not injured, so it was likely that they were robbed, so he comforted them:
"Don't worry, just tell me if you have any problems, and friendly forces must help each other."
Hearing that the political commissar of the Eighth Route Army was willing to help, the captain of the transport team excitedly grabbed Li Wenjie's hand. In fact, he had selfish motives.
There is a whole company of troops in front of us. It is hard to say who will win or lose among the fierce bandits on the opposite side. Maybe there is a chance to snatch the supplies back.
Even if these people are not strong enough and are wiped out by the bandits.
This means that a group of powerful enemies that can defeat the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army at the same time will appear. The regiment commander and the other side’s regiment commander will definitely not suffer this loss.
Once the matter gets out of hand, it is very likely that they will not be punished at that time, and they may have a chance to take revenge in person. At that time, the survivors will definitely have the opportunity to come forward and identify them.
Thinking of this, the captain of the transport team immediately said:
"Commander, we just encountered a group of bandits. All the transported supplies were robbed by those people. If we go back, we will definitely not have a good result!"
"Please help us!"
After hearing the other party's words, Li Wenjie showed an unexpected expression.
The Eighth Route Army itself has the obligation to suppress bandits, and he absolutely cannot tolerate bandits who dare to rob even anti-Japanese supplies.
Moreover, the cavalry company behind him also gave him the courage to chase after them. He did not think that the bandits could be so powerful.
After learning that this happened ten minutes ago and figuring out the location, Li Wenjie immediately led the cavalry company to chase in that direction.
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Compared with Zhao Gang, he is more energetic and less stable.
Because the people in Heiyun Village carried a lot of supplies and the mountain path was very rugged, their travel speed was not fast.
Just when Xie Baoqing was still thinking about how to celebrate with his brothers after returning, a bandit ran and shouted at him from the end of the team in panic.
"Boss! Boss! There is a group of cavalry chasing us from behind! There are more people than us!"
When the second-in-command Shanmaozi heard this, his first reaction was that Chu Yunfei sent cavalry to take revenge. After all, in his inherent cognition, the Eighth Route Army did not have cavalry.
Thinking of the opponent's artillery camp, the 75mm Bofors mountain cannons immediately made him a little panicked.
"Brother, let's retreat. The third brother is right, we can't beat the 358th Regiment."
Hearing this, Xie Baoqing's dissatisfaction became even stronger. If you compare people, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away. Since Gao Jianwu came into his life, Shanmaozi has become less and less useful in his heart.
He interrupted the other party with dissatisfaction, and then said domineeringly:
"What are you afraid of! What advantage does the cavalry have on the mountain road? Even if they catch up, it is still uncertain who will win."
"What should we do if we withdraw these supplies? These are the good things I just seized. If you lose them, will you lead your brothers to starve?"
"You are really going backwards as you live. If you are afraid, just get out. We don't keep trash in Heiyun Village."
After saying that, Xie Baoqing looked at the enemy carefully, which made him realize that the cavalry chasing them were not the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. The gray military uniforms were very conspicuous on the bare mountains, which made him determined to prepare for the enemy.
But compared with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, the Eighth Route Army had a greater hatred for these bandits. If it was not a last resort, Xie Baoqing did not want to tear his face, so as to avoid the other party from fighting to the death with him.
His way of survival, Xie Baoqing, was to get along with both sides.
"Brothers, the Eighth Route Army is coming! Everyone, take up advantageous positions and prepare for battle."
"Although we are not robbing the Eighth Route Army today! But if these beggars dare to show up, I don't mind taking a few dozen more horses."
"Grab your weapons! Don't shoot without my order."
Soon, the bandits of Heiyun Village took up their positions, and all the light machine guns and mortars were set up.
Even these well-trained bandits formed a commando team using the newly disarmed Jin-made Thompson submachine guns.
Since Li Wenjie and his men were lightly armed, they quickly caught up with the team of Heiyun Village. Seeing the other side pulling out a posture and inviting them into a trap, everyone was shocked.
But at this point, they naturally had no way out and could only bite the bullet and prepare for battle.
But who knew that the group of bandits on the opposite side did not open fire immediately, and even the bandit leader swaggered forward to talk.
"I am Xie Baoqing from Heiyun Village. May I ask which unit you brothers are from?"
The enemy is strong and we are weak. At this time, Li Wenjie is under great pressure. Once there is a firefight, it is likely that few of them will be able to return.
He now regrets his reckless behavior very much. Now he can only communicate with the other party with a try-and-see attitude. After all, he has to be responsible for the soldiers behind him.
"I am Li Wenjie, the political commissar of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. Master Xie has long heard of your name."
Xie Baoqing naturally knew all the troops within his sphere of influence, otherwise he would not have known Chu Yunfei.
After hearing that it was the Independent Regiment, he could not help but frown. Recently, this Eighth Route Army has been in the limelight, and last month it killed the elite troops of the devil.
If possible, he really didn't want to confront the other side head-on.
