I am a wolf warrior

"Damn!" Fang Ligong couldn't help but swear, "How could this happen?"

Fang Dengying said: "What's so strange about this? The Nationalist government is printing money like crazy."

After speaking, he raised the thick stack of French coins in his hand and said, "Chief of Staff, this money is really not enough."

Fang Ligong had no choice but to take out the other two stacks of French currency from the cabinet. After thinking about it, he handed a piece of silver dollar to Fang Dengying, and told him: "Don't buy new rice, try to buy old rice from previous years."

"I see." Fang Dengying took the money and left happily.

Fang Ligong continued to formulate his battle plan to deal with the possible "[-]th Route Army siege".

At ten o'clock in the morning, Fang Dengying, the chief of the military supplies department, returned to the staff headquarters with a pale face in a hurry, and reported: "Chief of staff, this is troublesome, big trouble!"

"What happened?"

Fang Ligong frowned and said, "Speak slowly, the sky won't fall."

Fang Dengying took a breath, and said with a dark face: "Chief of Staff, I just took people to search all the grain shops and grain stores in the county, and even the grain stores in Dagu Town and Lijia Town sent people to ride fast horses to ask , but found that almost all the grain stores were out of grain, and the few grain stores that still had grain had only a small amount of grain in stock.”

"What did you say?" Fang Ligong was shocked, "How could this happen?"

"I don't know." Fang Dengying said with a confused face, "It is said that our Heyuan County is a major grain-producing county in Shanxi. Last year's autumn grain harvest was also good. It is impossible to lack food, but the county seat and Dagu Town, the Li family The grain store in the town is out of food, at least the bulk of the food is gone, we are going to run out of food!"

Fang Ligong said in a deep voice, "Is there no food left?"

"It's gone." Fang Dengying nodded and said, "Millets, wheat, flour, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are all gone, let alone rice. You can't even buy a single grain."

"It's not easy." Fang Ligong said in a deep voice.

"I'll report to the traveler right away, don't rush to buy it."

After Fang Dengying was sent away, Fang Ligong came to report to Chu Yunfei in a hurry.

It turned out that Chu Yunfei was not there, and when he asked the guards, he found out that Chu Yunfei had taken Liang Shiyin out to hunt early in the morning, and Fang Ligong jumped up in a hurry.

At that moment, Fang Ligong and several guards went straight to Heiyun Mountain to find Chu Yunfei.

After walking and asking all the way, I finally found Chu Yunfei in the depths of Heiyun Mountain.

"Lu Zuo, how can you come to Heiyun Mountain to hunt?" Fang Ligong said, "This is the defense area of ​​the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"Brother Ligong, you worry too much." Chu Yunfei said with a smile, carrying a Garland rifle on his shoulder, "Don't look at the fact that our only brigade and the Eighth Route Army are at war with each other, but it's far from being torn apart completely. , so Kong Jie won’t do anything against me, not to mention that it’s not that easy to kill me, Chu Yunfei.”

Sun Zhi next to him said: "Sit here, we are here."

When Chu Yunfei went hunting this time, Sun Ming and the Tiger Squadron did not accompany him. Only Sun Zhi accompanied him with a guard squad.

"Then be careful." Fang Ligong frowned and said, "This is Heiyun Mountain, not far from here is Heiyun Village, although Xie Baoqing's gang of bandits have been recruited by Kong Jie's New Second Regiment, but who can guarantee that they won't let them go?" Will other bandits occupy Heiyunzhai? You, brigade, have the safety of more than 9000 officers and soldiers of the only brigade attached to you."

Chu Yunfei laughed and said, "Brother Li Gong, when it comes to Heiyun Village, let me tell you a joke."

"A joke?" Fang Ligong said, "What joke?"

Chu Yunfei said: "Just now we chased a badger and passed by Heiyunzhai, and guess what we found?"

"What did you find?" Fang Ligong replied casually, "Could it be that Xie Baoqing and the others returned to Heiyunzhai?"

"Haha, as expected of my chief of staff, I guessed it right." Chu Yunfei laughed and said, "Xie Baoqing is really back. It is said that the discipline of the Eighth Route Army is too strict, and they can't stand this constraint."

"What?" Fang Ligong said in astonishment, "Will Kong Jie let him go?"

"What if you don't let it go?" Chu Yunfei said, "I also gave Xie Baoqing a mortar."

"Ah, this..." Fang Ligong shook his head and said, "I guess I want to keep some incense, and I can be included again in the future."

"Kong Jie is just wishful thinking." Chu Yunfei said in disdain, "How can a long-standing bandit like Xie Baoqing get used to it? His mortar is a waste of time."

"Traveler, let's not talk about this for now." Fang Ligong said, "I have business with you."

After a pause, Fang Ligong said again: "Our only brigade will soon run out of food."

"Out of food?" Chu Yunfei said, "What's going on? Why is it suddenly out of food?"

Fang Ligong recounted the matter of Fang Dengying, the director of the military supply department, buying grain this morning.

After listening to Fang Ligong's narration, Chu Yunfei's face instantly collapsed, because behind this incident, he smelled a strong smell of Li Yunlong.

"This must be a good thing Li Yunlong did!"

Chu Yunfei said with a dark face: "I'm still thinking, why Li Yunlong is so quiet this time, and he hasn't made any moves after such a long time. He has changed his strategy this time, instead of engaging in military confrontation with us, he changed his strategy. Economic war?"

Fang Ligong said in a deep voice: "Traveler, this is not a small matter. If it goes wrong, there will be a mutiny."

"Let's go back and talk about it." Chu Yunfei turned his horse's head and shouted, "I have everything, go back to the county!"

……

At the junction of Datong and Ying County, there is a stronghold of devils.

Because this stronghold happened to be stuck on a highway, in order to generate income, the puppet army in the stronghold instigated the devils to set up a checkpoint on the highway to collect tolls.

Regardless of whether you are a pawn or a merchant, even a pedestrian passing by, you will be charged.

When there is a task of arresting civilian husbands, passers-by will be arrested indiscriminately, and these passers-by will be forced to build fortifications such as bunkers and gun towers for the devils.

Coincidentally, today there is another task of arresting civilian husbands.

The leading platoon leader of the puppet army focused on Li Xia and the four of them.

"What are you doing?" the puppet platoon leader asked Li Xia with a cold face.

"A seller of astragalus." Li Xia said, "I heard that the astragalus in Datong is the best."

"Astragalus dealers?" The puppet platoon leader snorted, "I think you look like eight-way spies!"

"Boss, don't be joking." Li Xia gesticulated to Duan Peng and the three behind him without any trace, and said, "We are serious businessmen, and we are honest and responsible."

"A serious businessman?" The puppet platoon leader asked in disbelief.

"Serious or not, what you say doesn't count, but what I say counts."

Having said that, he paused, waved his hands and shouted: "Come on, catch me!"

"You asked for this." Li Xia suddenly took off his disguise, and instantly changed from a harmless sheep to a ferocious beast, grabbing the puppet platoon leader as soon as he stretched out his hand.

The eyes of the two met, and the puppet platoon leader instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The puppet platoon leader wanted to shout, but found that the voice was stuck in his throat and could not come out.

The puppet platoon leader wanted to struggle, but found that his whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.

Unable to move or shout, the puppet platoon leader watched Li Xia pull out a dagger and slit his throat with a bang. This knife directly severed the puppet platoon leader's trachea, esophagus and jugular artery.

Li Xia has no sympathy for this kind of dog traitor who acts as a minion and harms his compatriots.

All this is a long story to say, but in less than a second, the puppet platoon leader fell into a pool of blood.

In the next second, Duan Peng, Lin Han, and Feng Xianghe simultaneously took out the pistols hidden under their jackets, and fired six Mauser pistols left and right, knocking down all the dozen or so puppet troops on the checkpoint and in the distance.

Among them were two little devils carrying [-] caps on their backs.

At this time, the devils in the distant stronghold were finally alarmed.

Li Xia grabbed the pistol of the puppet platoon leader, waved his hand and said, "Withdraw!"

At the moment, the four of them retreated while fighting, but deliberately slowed down, not in a hurry to get rid of the devil behind them.

With the marksmanship and skill of the four of them, it would be a piece of cake to clean up the dozen or so devils who were chasing after them, but the purpose of this operation was not to clean up the devils, but to join Qiao Risheng's team.

Li Xia and the others deliberately kept the distance at about 100 meters. This distance guaranteed the hit rate of the devil's rifle, but it was difficult for Li Xia and the others to guarantee the hit rate of their shell guns.

So from the point of view of the situation, Li Xia and the others are very passive.

At this time, it is actually a big risk. After all, the devil's marksmanship is not vegetarian. Although Li Xia and the others have skilled technical and tactical moves, there is no guarantee that they will never be hit by the devil.

Fortunately, luck was not bad, only Feng Xianghe was shot in the arm and injured during the whole chase.

After chasing for about one kilometer, they came to a valley, and the gunshots that Li Xia expected finally sounded from both sides. Qiao Risheng made a move, bringing dozens of gangsters and even two machine guns, and quickly killed them. Killed a dozen devils.

The four of Li Xia pretended to be stupefied and stood in the middle of the valley, not knowing what to do for a while.

However, Qiao Risheng walked down the hill with a large German mirror, and laughed loudly: "Brothers, we meet again."

"It turned out to be Commander Qiao." Li Xia didn't hold back any more this time, and saluted according to the rules of the road, and said solemnly, "Commander Qiao's life-saving grace, my brothers, remember it, and it will be rewarded in the future!"

"Hey, it's just a little effort." Qiao Risheng waved his hand, "Brother, don't worry about it."

After a pause, Qiao Risheng continued, "But speaking of it, I don't know your brother's name yet."

"Miangui, surnamed Li, Li Xia." Li Xia pointed to Duan Peng and said, "This is Duan Peng, this is Lin Han, and this is Feng Xianghe, nicknamed Mouse."

"Li Xia? Good name."

Qiao Risheng said: "A person lives up to his name."

Chapter 472

Li Xia said: "Commander Qiao is too famous."

After a pause, Li Xia said with a smile again: "Speaking of which, we are really fateful. If Commander Qiao happened to lead the team passing by here, our brothers would have died."

Qiao Risheng laughed and said, "Brother Li Xia, do you really think I happened to pass by here?"

"What?" Li Xia pretended to be stunned and said, "Could it be that Commander Qiao came here on a special trip?"

"That's right, I came here specially to keep you." Qiao Risheng didn't hide his intention at all, and said, "However, I didn't expect that you, the mere four of you, would dare to go head-to-head with Er Gouzi, a devil in a stronghold, and let you Killed more than a dozen devils Ergouzi, brother, you are this!"

After finishing speaking, Qiao Risheng gave Li Xia a thumbs up again.

"Ham, what's the matter?" Li Xia said shyly, "I made Commander Qiao laugh."

While the two were talking, Kong Huan had already led his men to clean up the battlefield and came back happily.

"Brother, we have seized sixteen 500 caps, four bastard boxes, and more than [-] rounds of ammunition." Kong Huan laughed and said, "By the way, there are sixteen cantaloupe grenades, which is a lot of money. .”

"That's where it is." Qiao Risheng smiled, and said, "The Yakou stronghold is the real fat sheep."

"What? Yakou stronghold?" Kong Huan froze for a moment, then said, "Brother, don't you want to take this opportunity to take down the Yakou stronghold?"

"You're right, I think so."

Speaking of this meal, Qiao Risheng said to Li Xia again: "Brother Li Xia, I don't want to hide it from you. The devil has set up such a stronghold in front of Yakou, which will greatly hinder the business and travel exchanges between Datong and Ying County. It can be said that I have cut off my source of income, I have long wanted to take over this stronghold, but I have not been able to find a chance, this time it can be said that it is thanks to you."

"Commander Qiao strategizes and uses soldiers like a god, I admire you." Li Xia complimented, and then said, "But this matter has nothing to do with us, we have to thank Commander Qiao for his life-saving grace."

"Then we'll help each other and we'll even it out." Qiao Risheng laughed.

"Then how do I do it?" Li Xia said, "How can the grace of life be evened?"

"Don't talk about that." Qiao Risheng waved his hands, "What's the next plan for Brother Li Xia?"

"Plans? What plans can I have?" Li Xia laughed at himself, "In such a world, you can only rely on a little skill and a gun in your hand to eat wherever you go."

After a pause, he said again: "If one day I walk away to recite words, I can only be buried in a ditch, and I will be buried in a dead end."

"Ah, this is too negative." Qiao Risheng said, "Brother Li Xia, then I have a good suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

Li Xia said: "Commander Qiao, please tell me."

Qiao Risheng said, "How about joining us in the bandit suppression area in northern Shanxi?"

After a pause, Qiao Risheng continued: "I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as I, Qiao Risheng, have something to eat, I will never let my brothers go hungry. If I, Qiao Risheng, have a prosperous day in the future , and will never treat the old brothers who followed me to fight the world today."

Li Xia showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "Commander Qiao, it is said that you saved the four of us, for no other reason than to repay your life-saving grace. We should all stay, but..."

As soon as the subject changed, Li Xia said again: "But the four of us are used to being free, we can't be restrained, and we won't hide it from you. The four of us have served in the Japanese Army, the Central Army, and the Jinsui Army, and even participated in military affairs. I served in the Eighth Route Army, but it didn’t last long, because the four of us are used to being loose, and we simply can’t bear the constraints of military discipline.”

Hearing this, Qiao Risheng became even more fond of Li Xia and the others.

Because Qiao Risheng was such a person, and he couldn't be restrained.

At that moment, Qiao Risheng slapped his thigh and said, "This is not a problem at all."

After a pause, Qiao Risheng continued: "Our bandit suppressing army in the north of Shanxi is free to come and go. If there is any trouble between brothers, we can leave freely. Not only will my surname Qiao not force me to stay, but I will also give you a gift. Pens wrapped around!"

After pondering for a moment, Li Xia said: "Since Commander Qiao has already talked about this point, if we still insist on leaving, then we will be too unflattering, so let's stay!"

After saying this, Li Xia said solemnly again: "Brother!"

Duan Peng, Lin Han, and Feng Shenhe behind Li Xia also shouted for Big Brother.

"Hey!" Qiao Risheng responded loudly, and his heart was bursting with joy.

At this time, Zhou Zhongwen of the Second King Kong and Tiancun the Three King Kongs had brought more than 100 people back from the mountain road ahead.

Qiao Risheng laughed, and said, "Haha, it seems that Lao Zhou and Lao Wang have taken over the Yakou stronghold, and they have created a lot of benefits. Let's go, let's welcome them."
