Although this mysterious Qing army suddenly appeared at the entrance of the northwest mountain road, it was discovered by the garrison deployed by Yi Zhenhua before it entered the mountain, and they were quickly surrounded.

At the entrance to the mountain road, more than a hundred heavily armed garrison soldiers armed with Garand, Thompson or general-purpose machine guns surrounded a mysterious Qing army that was almost twice their number.

and

Although this Qing army has the advantage in numbers, its weapons and equipment are far inferior to those of the garrison. Except for a few people who are equipped with some manual bolt-action rifles, most of the others only have swords and guns.

Sticks and other cold weapons were used, and some even used bare hands.

Although they were at an absolute disadvantage, this group of Qing troops did not seem to have the slightest fear. They formed a long circle back to back, protecting several injured companions in the middle, while the others looked wary and fearless.

They looked at the unknown troops surrounding them in front of them.

Since they did not receive instructions from the regiment headquarters, this group of garrison soldiers did not act rashly. They just surrounded them, so the two sides faced off.

Otherwise, with the excellent weapons and equipment of the garrison and the powerful firepower, the battle should have been ended long ago and they were all wiped out here. In that case, Yi Zhenhua and his garrison would have completely lost a group of people who were hostile to them at this time.

Artillery talents are extremely valuable.

Yes, these Qing troops confronting the First Battalion and Second Company are the Xiuying artillerymen who retreated from Xiuying Fort. Since the fall of Haikou and the fall of Xiuying, these artillerymen began their arduous escape under the leadership of gunner Chen Qigang

During his career, dozens of artillerymen died unfortunately while avoiding the pursuit of the Japanese army.

When Chen Qigang and the others were helpless and didn't know where to retreat, they heard about the deeds of the Wuzhishan garrison. With the heavy sorrow of the loss of their hometown and the death of their comrades, Chen Qigang and his men decided to go to Wuzhishan and defect to Yi Zhenhua's garrison.

Regiment in the hope of being able to serve as a soldier again and avenge the death of his comrades and the elders in his hometown who died in the war.

It was this belief that supported them all the way. After going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, they finally arrived at Wuzhishan. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly surrounded by the security forces guarding the mountain.

Although Chen Qigang wanted to explain, because most of them were still wearing Qing army uniforms from more than 20 years ago, the company commander who led them could not make up his mind at all. He had already sent soldiers to attack them when he surrounded them.

The summit report has gone.

Therefore, Chen Qigang's explanation was not conveyed to Yi Zhenhua. The news Yi Zhenhua received was that a Qing army suddenly appeared at the northwest intersection of Wuzhi Mountain.

Just over an hour later, the roar of a jeep finally broke the suffocating confrontation.

More than 190 artillerymen, including Chen Qigang, followed the sound and saw two motorcycles and a jeep driving up on the road leading to the mountain.

There is also a dazzling blue sky and white sun flag in front of the car. Seeing this, Chen Qigang's calm heart began to get excited. It seems that this must be the legendary garrison. God bless, I hope they will accept us and let us

To have the opportunity to serve as a soldier again, to avenge the deaths of dozens of brothers and elders in my hometown.

Soon, two motorcycles roared over and stopped on both sides of the road respectively. The machine gunner sitting in the sidecar of the motorcycle quickly pulled the bolt of the gun with an indifferent look and pointed the black hole of the machine gun muzzle into the encirclement.

Chen Qigang and others.

At the same time, the driver and the soldiers in the back seat also raised their Somi submachine guns and pointed their guns at them with the same cold expression.

Six soldiers on two motorcycles moved skillfully, from parking to raising their guns in one go, giving people a sense of oppression.

This should be the elite of the garrison, right? It is indeed well-deserved. Most of the Xiuying artillerymen, including Chen Qigang, sighed secretly in their hearts at the same time.

After that, the jeep that was coming behind suddenly braked. Before the car stopped, two soldiers with rolled sleeves standing on both sides of the car holding Somi submachine guns quickly jumped out and stood about three meters away from the car.

Standing on the spot as solid as iron.

At the same time, the burly man sitting in the passenger seat in the front row of the car, Zhao Daquan, the commander of Yi Zhenhua’s first battalion, also jumped out of the car and strode to the front of the car, holding his timeless pistol in both hands.

The fully automatic assault rifle stands in front of the car like an iron tower.

At this time, Yi Zhenhua, who was sitting in the back seat, got out of the car accompanied by the reconnaissance platoon leader Nuo Hu. The commander of the second company of the first battalion immediately ran over and saluted Yi Zhenhua with a snap.

: "Tuanzuo, you are here,"

"Yeah!" Yi Zhenhua saluted slightly, then lowered his hand and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Reporting to the regiment, everyone has been surrounded by us. Without your order, I have not taken any other measures!" the second company commander replied respectfully.

"Well, let's go and have a look." Yi Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction, then took the lead and walked forward.

Zhao Daquan, Nuo Hu and the second company commander followed with several soldiers and swarmed up.

Stepping forward, Yi Zhenhua saw this mysterious Qing army surrounded by the Second Company. Without asking questions directly, Yi Zhenhua turned to ask the Second Company Commander: "Have you figured out who they are? Where do they come from?

"

"It's not clear where they come from. However, not long ago, one of their leaders once said that they were

What are the defenders of Xiuying Fort? Xiuying Fort was a fort built by Manchu and Qing Tatars. That place no longer exists, so where are the defenders?"

Before the second company commander finished speaking, Yi Zhenhua had already scurried forward like a leopard, staring at Chen Qigang and the others as if their eyes were on fire, making them feel terrified.

"Are you really the defender of Xiuying Fort?" Regardless of the obstruction of his soldiers, Yi Zhenhua rushed straight to Chen Qigang and several Xiuying artillerymen and asked eagerly.

Although he was surprised by Yi Zhenhua's unusual behavior, Chen Qigang still nodded and replied: "To be honest with you, Beizhi and others are the defenders of the 1st Xunxiuying Fort of the Qiongzhong Seventh Battalion of the Guangdong Navy of the Qing Dynasty. Beizhi

He is the director of Xiuying Fort."

Although he was a little unhappy with the person in front of him claiming to be a Qing army, Yi Zhenhua was more excited and excited, as if the remnants of the former Qing soldiers in front of him had become his own artillery unit, and he seemed to have seen his own

The artillery unit equipped with the most advanced artillery in the world brutally attacked the Japanese artillery unit composed of Type 92 infantry guns and mortars.

Swallowing his saliva and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yi Zhenhua pretended to be angry and said in a deep voice: "Chen Cannon Commander, do you know that it is already the period of the Republic of China? I don't know that former Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen proposed to expel the Tartars.

Has the slogan of restoring China been realized? The Tatar dynasty of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties no longer exists. You are no longer the slaves of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, let alone Han dynasties, but serious Chinese people, with my Yanhuang flowing in your veins.

How can the blood of our ancestors still be called the Qing army?"

Under Yi Zhenhua's heart-wrenching instructions, Chen Qigang was a little at a loss, and immediately explained in a panic: "Sir, please calm down, I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me!"

Seeing Chen Qigang's face tense and panicked, Yi Zhenhua's unhappiness just now disappeared. To put it bluntly, Chen Qigang and the others are not die-hard warriors who are loyal to the Manchu Tatars in their bones. They regard themselves as Qing troops entirely because of their years of experience.

Just a habit.

"We revolutionary soldiers do not like to call you sir. I am now the colonel commander of the National Revolutionary Army. Please call me sir!" Yi Zhenhua said this and then said: "I wonder what the purpose of your coming here is, Gunner Chen?"

"Colonel Commander? May I ask your surname, sir?" Chen Qigang did not answer Yi Zhenhua's question, but looked at Yi Zhenhua uncertainly and asked.

"Yi Zhenhua!" Yi Zhenhua blurted out.

"Sir, is this Yi Zhenhua?" Chen Qigang and the artillerymen behind him were shocked. Immediately, something happened that Yi Zhenhua didn't expect.

Under the leadership of Chen Qigang, more than 190 Xiuying defenders knelt down in front of him.

Chen Qigang's eyes were red, and he said earnestly with tears in his eyes: "Sir, we have finally found you! Please accept the lower-ranking brothers and give us one to re-enlist as a soldier, to give one to the deceased and his relatives.

A chance for revenge!”

While Yi Zhenhua was stunned, Chen Qigang continued until he choked up and said: "As long as the commander is willing to take us in, we don't need any military pay. As long as we can go to the battlefield and kill the Japanese! Even if we die, we will have no regrets!"

"F*ck!" Yi Zhenhua couldn't help but uttered a curse word in his heart. It seems that God is still very fair. Dai himself is not a bad person, even though he just saved tens of millions in Qiongzhong because of national justice.

The surname caused the Japanese to retaliate by encircling and suppressing them with heavy troops.

But in the blink of an eye, God sent him a group of artillery talents that were most urgently needed at present. With this group of artillerymen, who had been working as artillerymen for more than 20 years, Yi Zhenhua could immediately form an artillery unit of his own.

In the next battle with the Japanese invaders, the garrison will no longer be bombed unilaterally, and at the same time, its combat effectiveness and firepower will be unprecedentedly improved.

What made Yi Zhenhua even more ecstatic was that just as he was lifting Chen Qigang up and planning to say a few heart-warming words to win over people's hearts, the sky above Wuzhishan, which had been clear just now, suddenly became dense with dark clouds, followed by strong winds and thunder and lightning.

The next moment, a dense downpour poured down.

The dense rain quickly turned Yi Zhenhua into a drowned rat. He raised his head and let the dense raindrops fall on his face. Yi Zhenhua looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, it's really God's blessing. God helps me, God helps me.

a ha ha ha!!!"
