Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

A lot of unexpected things happened between early morning and noon today.

According to Yang Huasen's plan, they would ambush the reinforcements coming from Linhua at Xishankou and then let them enter Longxing City, and then attack them from both inside and outside the west gate of Longxing City to annihilate them.

Unexpectedly, after being ambushed, this group of reinforcements did not continue to advance towards Longxing City, nor did they go up the mountain to pursue the retreating troops after ambushing them, but turned around and returned to Linhua.

This is why Su Bai never heard any gunshots coming from the west gate of the Confucius Mansion.

Yang Huasen and Xu Laohei took advantage of the moment when the reinforcements left Linhua and successfully attacked Linhua City.

When they learned that this reinforcement force had returned to Linhua City, Yang Huasen and Xu Laohei changed the battlefield to annihilate this army under the city of Linhua.

Although there were some unexpected changes, everything went smoothly.

But at this time, news came that a troop had descended from the sky and captured and occupied Tianlong City, attacking Kong Li's main force from behind. A part of this troop quickly rushed to Linhua, and Yang Huasen's troops had to flee Linhua in a hurry.

It was not until after ten o'clock in the morning that news came that the Cheng Yaojin who showed up halfway was a warlord named Lin who had joined forces with Marshal Yang to fight against the Kong family a few years ago. He had a very good personal relationship with Marshal Yang, and after receiving the urgent military request for help from Marshal Yang, he led his troops from two hundred miles away and cut off Kong Li's retreat.

In this way, Kong Li, who had mobilized almost all his military forces, was surrounded.

After Liu Yiyan's troops withdrew from Longxing, Bai Ying and a company of soldiers returned to their original battalion headquarters. When they sent a telegram to Kong Li to report the battle situation and request instructions, they could not get in touch with him.

Bai Ying believed that there was probably only one possibility for this situation to happen: Kong Li's division headquarters had been attacked and the radio station had fallen into enemy hands or been destroyed.

"Is there any news about Zhou Beiwang?" Su Bai asked.

Gao Hu shook his head. He couldn’t even contact Kong Li, let alone Zhou Beiwang.

The current known battle situation is that both Tianlong and Linhua counties fell into the hands of Marshal Lin, and Kong Li's life or death is unknown.

Although Longxing City is in our hands, Bai Ying and his company have less than fifty people in total, plus Gao Hu's more than thirty people, there are only more than eighty people in total, and they don't have any heavy weapons.

The garrison battalion was originally equipped mainly with light weapons, and all the mortars were taken away by Battalion Commander Zhao when he led his troops to the front line.

If Marshal Lin's troops from Linhua came to attack Longxing, they would not be able to last even ten minutes.

"After all, this time there was such a big commotion, but Yang Huasen got all the benefits?"

Gao Hu nodded. He heard that they had seized all the places they could in Linhua and Longxing cities, and they had evacuated safely before Marshal Lin attacked Linhua.

While the two were talking, Cheng Zifeng arrived.

He seemed to be fine, not even his hair was messed up.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Mrs. Kong, is there anyone injured or killed in the Kong Mansion?"

"Captain Zhao and his dozen soldiers were all killed."

"Oh, oh, I heard about this too." Cheng Zifeng punched Gao Hu on the shoulder and said, "Captain Gao is a blessed man. I heard that you were transferred out of the Kong Mansion yesterday, and today such a big thing happened in Longxing."

The news that Cheng Zifeng received was that Gao Hu led his platoon back to the Confucius Mansion, drove away the bandit Ma Da, and defended the Confucius Mansion waiting for help.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yiyan had a new name: Ma Da.

Su Bai looked at Cheng Zifeng and thought, are you the person I hired?

What Su Bai didn't expect was that this time, the garrison battalion, including Captain Zhao's guards in the Confucius Mansion, had only more than 20 casualties, but the Longxing Police Station had more than 30 deaths.

"It's all the fault of that idiot Lu Shijie. He had to order his brothers to fight the bandits!" Cheng Zifeng was obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Shijie's behavior. There were only about a hundred people in the police station, and more than sixty of them were on field duty. Under Lu Shijie's command, more than half of the field staff were lost.

"Director Lu is very brave." Su Bai said sarcastically.

"Brave ass!" Cheng Zifeng got even angrier when he heard Su Bai say that: "He hid in the director's office and let his brothers go to die!"

Cheng Zifeng said that Longxing County's finances were already tight, and with more than 30 people dead at once, they couldn't even afford the pensions.

The higher-ups would definitely allocate this amount of money, but he would have to beg and plead countless times before the money would be allocated.

Several ladies and young ladies in the backyard also came to the front yard. As soon as Cheng Zifeng saw the Sixth Aunt, he told her that Commissioner Huang had sent him a telegram before the Lin bandits attacked Linhua. Commissioner Huang was planning to escape from Linhua, but no one knew whether he escaped or not. Until now, no new news has been received.

Cheng Zifeng shook his head and said that the provincial government had sent them telegram instructions, asking them not to panic, to comfort the people and wait for reinforcements.

"Farts already have a stinky smell, this is even worse than a fart!" Cheng Zifeng was almost beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Indeed, with such a small number of people in Longxing, they can only run away if Marshal Lin's men come to attack.

Unlike Gao Hu and Bai Ying who had lost contact with the division headquarters, Cheng Zifeng was still able to contact the provincial government and knew more about the situation of Tianlong and Linhua.

After Marshal Lin's troops captured Tianlong and Linhua, they only occupied the government office and the county seat, and did not make any other major moves. His main forces were in the south of Tianlong City, working together with Marshal Yang to attack Kong Li.

"Don't worry," Cheng Zifeng said to the Sixth Aunt, "Specialist Huang is not an ordinary person. He can smell the danger in advance!"

"Is he a dog?" Sixth Aunt said with a smile.

When Yang Huasen's troops attacked Linhua, Commissioner Huang did not move at all. He only asked the police station to protect the county government and the public office, and all of them retreated in the courtyard. He knew that Yang Huasen would not attack his public office and the county government.

When Marshal Lin's troops attacked, he chose to escape.

Su Bai laughed and said, "This is not a dog, it's obviously a fox."

According to the information Cheng Zifeng got, Yang Huasen cleaned out all the military supplies and various warehouses in Kong Li's army this time, but their gains would not be great, because most of Kong Li's supplies were sent to the front line, and the supplies in the rear were not sufficient.

Su Bai didn't care about this matter. It had nothing to do with him how much Yang Huasen had robbed. If he was lucky, he would rob more; if he was unlucky, he would rob less.

But Cheng Zifeng's next words surprised Su Bai. Yang Huasen had robbed Kong Li's military hospital in Linhua. According to the telegram sent to him by Commissioner Huang, it was not easy to find even a medicine bottle in the military hospital after the robbery.

That’s not all, Yang Huasen also kidnapped some military doctors and nurses from the military hospital.

"What? He robbed people? Bastard!" Su Bai cursed angrily.

"Among the people who were kidnapped..." Cheng Zifeng paused for a moment and said, "There is Chen Yidao, the military doctor."

Su Bai's head exploded immediately. His fourth batch of medicine would be available tomorrow, and this would also be the first batch of penicillin filled in vials. But Yang Huasen had kidnapped Doctor Chen at this very moment.

Isn’t this cutting off one’s own financial path?
