    Chapter 213 Iron-Blooded Lonely Army

    "Drive!"

    Beside the rolling Yellow River, hundreds of riders dressed in various colors and carrying assorted weapons rushed toward the Sanmenxia. Each horse also had a dagger hanging on it, which made heavy metal friction sounds from time to time. There were faint explosions carried by the wind in the distance.  The sound made them extremely excited, but before they could enter the battle circle, a dozen cavalry soldiers suddenly appeared on the road ahead, and two bullets almost grazed their ears.

    "Stop."

    The young man at the head of the cavalry pulled the reins, and the horse neighed in pain and almost stood upright. Fortunately, he had superb riding skills. He quickly controlled the horse and waved to everyone to stop. Then he led the four men next to him.  The man, who was in his early teens and slightly hunched over, slowly walked toward the cordon.

    When he walked up to the soldiers and saw that they had not put down their guns, the young man immediately took out the ID of the Military Intelligence Section of the National Defense Force from his chest. The soldiers were relieved. After sending several people to escort the two to see An Guoliang, they still did not dare to relax completely.  You must know that the brothers are chasing the remnants of Yijun at this moment. Although there are not many people in the distance, rushing in will definitely cause bad things.

    "Mei Dajiao!"

    Mei Sheng was standing next to a cart of opium, thinking about how much morphine could be produced by transporting the opium back, when the shouts behind him suddenly caused black lines on his forehead to run wildly.  Turning around, he saw Zhang Zhidan, who had played together since childhood and joined the National Defense Forces when fighting in Xi'an, but disappeared for a long time in the middle of the war. He was escorted by several soldiers and rode over with a middle-aged man.

    "Zhang Zhidan, listen to me, my name is Mei Sheng, not Mei Dajia!"

    Mei Sheng pointed at Zhang Zhidan and cursed. His nickname is also legendary.  When I was a kid, I went to steal Elaeagnus jujube to eat with my friends. Unexpectedly, the branch was not strong enough and fell directly from the tree onto the roof of the house. Fortunately, the roof was still not strong enough and it fell directly into the house.  There was a widow living in the house. He relied on the kung fu he had practiced and when he fell, he rolled sideways and prepared to land on his feet. Unexpectedly, he landed directly on the widow's bed, and his left foot even stepped on her chest. If he hadn't stopped his feet quickly and added  She fell down without stepping firmly, and the widow might have been trampled to death on the spot.

    Although he was not trampled to death, the soft part of his chest was stepped on and it still hurt the widow almost to death. In the end, the matter was brought to his father. What was even more outrageous was that the widow actually came to the house wearing clothes with his footprints to demand an explanation, saying that she had been molested and insulted.  As a result, that footprint will be remembered forever, and he also has the nickname "Mei Big Foot".

    The assault company commander became furious and everyone covered their faces and ran away. The companions who came out together covered their mouths tightly. After escaping far away, they started to add insult to injury. In less than a moment, the words "Mei Big Foot" resounded throughout the cavalry regiment along with the Sanmenxia ambush battle.  , and even later spread to the ears of the infantry.

    Although he was introduced by a soldier and knew him personally, Mei Sheng, who was angry, still kept his face straight and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I don't know you, ID."

    Zhang Zhidan smiled and took out his ID and handed it to him, raising his thumb provocatively, which clearly meant that he was avenging his personal revenge.  Mei Sheng ignored him. After checking his ID, he held it in his arms and said, "Why did you go to the Intelligence Department? I thought you died."

    "I won't die even if you die!" Zhang Zhidan's father was also a boxer in the Gengzi years. The two of them had been playing together since childhood. They laughed and asked, "Bigfoot, where is Captain An?"

    Yes, the reputation of big feet has been finally realized.

    Mei Sheng pointed angrily at the dark mass of prisoners in the distance, ignored this stoic friend, glanced at the middle-aged man next to him who was staring at a car full of rifles and ammunition, and asked: "This is  .¡±

    "I am Bai Lang, whose courtesy name is Mingxin, and I am from Baofeng, Henan."

    "White wolf?" Mei Sheng stared at him. He was about forty years old, with short eyebrows and a slight hunchback. He was wearing an ordinary sheepskin jacket and the riding boots on his feet were obviously not the right size. The overall look not only did not look like a hungry wolf, but rather like a hungry wolf.  An ordinary Han Chinese uncle struggling at the lowest level outside the northwest entrance.

    "Haha, it's Bai Lang, the Lang of Lang Lang Qiankun."

    In fact, Bai Lang is not the kind of bandit who was forced to go to Liangshan because of his family. Not only did his family have hundreds of acres of fertile land left by his ancestors, but he also had many hired workers. He also opened a blacksmith shop and sold private salt to make a small amount of savings. But since  After the Xinhai Revolution, everything changed. Since the army was stationed in Xinyang for a long time, the army needed food and grass, so it handed over the collection task to the counties and townships. In order to complete the task, the counties collected excessive amounts of money, and even built private villages to collude with the bandits. They took this opportunity to exploit and extort.  Because he had a disagreement with the landlord of the village, he was falsely accused of hiding grain and was arrested. In order to save him, his family had to sell the land to the landlord at a low price in exchange for his release from prison.

    After experiencing this incident, he felt that it was not possible without a gun these days, so he ran to the Beiyang Army Cavalry in Yu County to sign up as a soldier. He was ridiculed because he was too old and returned. When he came back, his horse was snatched away by Xiang Yong, and he walked for more than a hundred years.  I went to my sister's house and found that her family had also been robbed of all the finances by local bullies and the government.These experiences made him furious. He originally heard that the neighboring province of Hubei was prosperous and wanted to move his family there, but he saw more and more people around him being killed and made homeless. In addition, Henan suffered from two consecutive years of drought and hungry people everywhere.  Starved to death, Xin Yiheng returned to his hometown, killed the landlord who framed him, and grabbed a few guns. Then he broke into the county government office and raised a banner to fight against the local tyrants and Yuan Shikai's tyranny.

    After all, he had gone to private school for several years, and knew that if he continued to cause trouble like this, he would be wiped out sooner or later, so he wondered if he could contact the National Defense Forces. At this time, the intelligence department of the National Defense Forces also noticed their group, and the two came together.

    When he first heard that a National Defense Force cavalry regiment was detouring from Shaanxi to Shanxi and entering Henan, preparing to block tens of thousands of Yi troops, he didn't believe it. He was even a little dissatisfied with Zhang Zhidan asking him to bring people to support him. He thought that this time the hole would be filled, but  At this moment, he was shocked when he saw the darkness overwhelming thousands of Yijun prisoners!  He never expected that before he even arrived, he would rely on more than 2,000 cavalry, killing thousands of Yi soldiers and leaving behind hundreds of cars of coveted ordnance.

    When he thought of his smoky guns, he wished he could grab a cart and take it back. When he saw some cavalry actually loading boxes full of tobacco cream into carts and tying them up, his expression became a little unnatural.

    Mei Sheng saw that his face changed slightly and he was staring at the opium intently. He snorted coldly and called the military doctor. He asked him to take out a stick of morphine and threw it to Bai Lang: "This is called morphine. It is a Western drug for anesthesia and pain relief.  It¡¯s extracted from opium! You¡¯ll know how useful this thing is when you get hit by a bullet and it hurts so much.¡±

    Having someone see through his thoughts, Bai Lang felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.  Mei Sheng, however, was unreasonable and took back the morphine and handed it to the medical officer and said coldly: "We in the National Defense Force have never done anything against our will! No matter what that kid Zhang Zhidan told you, if you want to talk to us  just follow the rules!¡±

    It just so happened that An Guoliang also came over at this time. Along the way, Zhang Zhidan had already told Yang Qiu about Yang Qiu's request to continue to stay in Henan to harass and ambush the enemy's logistics supplies. He knew that it would be very difficult for these people to stay in Henan for a long time on their own.  It's difficult, so we need help from these local snakes.

    Although he didn't like Bai Lang, he always felt that bandits were bandits, but he was unfamiliar with the place and needed these people, so he glanced at it with an evil look and said: "Brother Bai Lang, I'm a rough man. I like to talk before doing things."  clear!"

    These words made Bai Lang's heart tremble. At this moment, his men were also brought by the soldiers. When An Guoliang saw these disheveled bandit soldiers, he deliberately raised his voice: "I don't care what you did before, but after what we did,  It is a matter of life and death for tens of millions of compatriots in Henan! Our National Defense Forces have many military regulations. You will gradually know these in the future. For now, I only have a few words. Rape, plunder, and kill! If you retreat from the battle, kill! If you don¡¯t listen to orders, kill! Surrender to the enemy.  For disaster, kill!"

    A series of killing words made Bai Lang and his men turn pale. Even Zhang Zhidan scratched his head. He originally wanted to say a few words. After all, it is not easy for the Intelligence Department to develop Bai Lang, but Mei Sheng stopped him and whispered: "The army's  Don¡¯t worry about things.¡±

    Zhang Zhidan moved his Adam's apple, but finally listened to the advice. The army has its own rules of conduct. Henan is now the most chaotic place in the country due to banditry and military disasters. It really can't be solved without heavy action.

    "Whoever can't bear it can leave now. Leave the gun and weapons and I will give them ten yuan. From now on, we will not owe each other anything. Anyone who stays must abide by military orders and I will treat them equally." An Guoliang pointed to the captured war horses and weapons.  He continued: "Each person has a gun and 200 rounds of ammunition. Come with us to fight Beiyang, fight the local tyrants, and save Henan!"

    Bai Lang swallowed his saliva, he naturally knew the principle of using heavy codes in troubled times, not to mention that it would not work if he went deep alone without strict discipline.  Nowadays, there is a serious famine in Henan, there are numerous bandits in various places, and the garrison is ruthlessly extorting money and ravaging the countryside, so there is no way to survive without some iron and blood skills.  Besides, he originally wanted to join the army and had heard about the prosperity of Hubei, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.

    Most of his men are forced to rebel. Even if they get ten dollars back, how long can they last?  If you follow the National Defense Force, at least you won't have to worry about food and drink, and if you really want to conquer the world, you and your family will be able to stand out, so most people expressed their willingness to abide by military regulations. Only a few people who fished in troubled waters saw that they could no longer survive, so they took the silver coins early and quietly left.  .

    After talking about it, the atmosphere became much better. Bai Lang and his men were temporarily organized into the fifth battalion of the Cavalry Regiment, and he himself was appointed as the battalion commander.  An Guoliang asked people to immediately distribute the captured Japanese Type 30 rifles and bullets to everyone, and also stripped hundreds of Yijun's cotton-padded jackets to keep them warm. The remaining Yijun prisoners did not keep their cotton-padded jackets, and were all stripped and loaded into cars.  Prepare it for soldiers who will join the team in the future, or distribute it to the poor along the way.

    The faces of the soldiers of the fifth battalion who got the new guns were happy, and they took off the robes on their horses one after another. All of them were the general staff asking them toThe nine-millimeter bullets brought by ?? can be said to have saved Mei Sheng and the others. Although the ambush just now was not long, each machine gun still consumed more than a hundred rounds of bullets, so these bullets were gradually accepted by the soldiers of the cavalry company.  Blanc et al.

    When the soldiers quickly changed their horses and uniforms to prepare for the next stop, An Guoliang had a splitting headache. Not to mention what to do with the more than 2,000 Yijun prisoners, he didn't know what to do with the more than 100 carts of supplies that had been seized. After discussion,  In the end, Zhang Zhidan led some soldiers to escort the second brigade east of Xinyang and took control of it. They organized manpower and material resources as soon as possible to establish supply channels for the troops. As for the prisoners, there was really nothing they could do. In the end, they had to send people to Shanxi and hand them over to Mr. Yan Xishan.  They were secretly taken into custody for future processing.

    After Zhang Zhidan set off on the road with two hundred elite soldiers and more than three hundred hard laborers, An Guoliang immediately spread out the map and pointed to Luoning, not far from Sanmenxia.

    "Start from here!"
