Check in from the bright sword

During the period of the Republic of China, warlords fought in chaos, and bandits abounded in Northwest Shanxi, so most of the villages and towns formed forts for self-defense, and the mountain fort was also built in that specific era.

What a castle.

The city gates and walls are all available.

As long as the gate is closed, it cannot be opened without a cannon.

By the time Wang Yan and his party of more than 30 riders arrived at Shanshangbao, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

Entering the fort from the gate, you can see soldiers marching from the northern part of the geese standing guard on the wall of the fort. There is a circular barricade inside the city gate, and two civilian 24-type heavy machine guns are erected.

It's really a bit of a posture that one man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand men are in charge.

There are rows of private houses in the fort, but the residents are no longer the original villagers, but people from the Yanbei Army. Thousands of people are stationed in the small mountain fort.

Just after entering the fort and walking not far, I suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes.

Looking up, I saw a group of cavalry swarming over.

Seeing this team of cavalry, Sun Desheng's eyes lit up immediately.

Although the army horses of this team of cavalry are not Oriental horses, they are all rare horses.

Sun Desheng was born in the cavalry, so he recognized at a glance that these army horses were Hequ horses from the Qinghai Navy Racecourse, and they were considered high-quality army horses.

The Ma family army across the northwest rides Hequ horses.

Seeing that Sun Desheng was staring at the horse and unable to pull it out, Wang Yan bumped him with his arm.

Sun Desheng just woke up like a dream, looked up quickly, and saw that the leader of the cavalry had turned his face down and was staring at him coldly.

Because Sun Desheng blocked his way.

However, because Wang Yan and the others were wearing kimonos, that team of cavalry didn't dare to make a mistake.

An marching officer in charge of leading the way hurried forward to explain a few words, and the cavalry detoured away.

After the cavalry had gone far, the marching officer who led the way said with a smile on his face, "Taijun, don't mind, that guy just now is a fool."

"Anyone dares to grin their teeth when they are anxious."

"No one can cure him except our commander."

Wang Yan, who acted as a "translator", said with a smile: "This is the case for people with real skills."

"That's true." The marching officer who led the way nodded repeatedly, "Although Company Commander Zheng has a bad temper, his horsemanship and marksmanship are really good!"

"Crack pots on the back of a galloping horse."

"Within 100 meters, you can raise your hand."

"I've never seen anyone with better marksmanship than him."

"And his equestrian skills are even more outstanding."

"Once, Company Commander Zheng followed our commander to Suiyuan on business."

"It just happened to coincide with the Naadam Conference, and Company Commander Zheng won the horse racing championship!"

"This is a horse race. The Mongols claim to be a nation that grew up on horseback, but Company Commander Zheng, a Han, won the horse racing championship. How good do you think Company Commander Zheng is at equestrian skills?"

The officer leading the way said that he had no intention of speaking, but Wang Yan's heart was moved when he heard it.

The independent regiment rebuilt the cavalry company after it arrived in Northwest Shanxi. The company commander seems to be surnamed Zheng. Could it be the company commander Zheng who marched in Yanbei?That's too coincidental.

"That's powerful enough." Wang Yan said again, "What's his name?"

"I don't know." The officer leading the way replied simply, "But the commander calls him Er Bao."

"Second Treasure?" Wang Yan murmured, he had already remembered the name in his heart, and he didn't say anything, this is a person worthy of attention.

While speaking, a group of more than 30 riders had arrived in front of a compound.

The officer leading the way nodded and said to Wei Dayong, "Taijun, here we are."

Wei Dayong babbled in Japanese, and Wang Yan translated: "Taijun Yamada asked you to report quickly. If there is not enough smoke here, we have to go to Yan County as soon as possible."

The officer leading the way rushed in to report.

After a while, a burly man with a face full of flesh came out from the gate.

I saw a striking scar on the face of this big man, and his fierce eyes swept over, just like a knife. If you want to change to a timid one, you might be scared to pee if you really touch it.

Wei Dayong snorted, and stared back with more fierce eyes.

Wei Dayong is now pretending to be Japanese opium merchant Takeshi Yamada, a Japanese ronin!

Wei Dayong not only stared back with more fierce eyes, but also scolded Baga very bluntly!

The two men following the strong man immediately stretched their hands to their waists, holding the handle of the twenty-gun box cannon, as if they would draw their guns as soon as the strong man gave an order.

It's just that the brawny man was intimidated in seconds.

"Taijun." The strong man's straight body suddenly bent down, and he said with an apologetic smile, "I didn't know Yamada Taijun came, so I welcome you from a distance. Forgive me, forgive me."

Wang Yan immediately translated this sentence to Wei Dayong.

Wei Dayong said Yoshi, and then made a long conversation in Japanese.

Wang Yan then said to the strong man: "Tai-kun Yamada said it, so please give me a quick word. Is there any opium cream? If there is, then sit down and talk. If not, don't waste our time. We have to go Yan County."

The strong man nodded and bowed his waist and said: "There are big smoke creams, there are, there are big ones, hehe."

After listening to Wang Yan's translation, Wei Dayong yelled again, then rode straight into the gate.

The strong man stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, but after Wang Yan and his party of more than 30 riders had entered the compound, he said to a man behind him: "Go and invite Taijun Xiaoyesi to come here."

……

In fact, the Japanese do not want to maintain this kind of cooperative relationship with Yanbei Tingjin.

What the Japanese want more is actually to want Yanbei to advance into the army and incorporate it into the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

However, Qiao Sheng didn't soak in oil and salt, and he didn't agree to it if it broke the sky. Considering that there were more than 5000 people in the Yanbei Army marching, if they fell to the Jinsui Army or the Eighth Route Army, it would greatly increase the pressure on the Japanese army, so they did not forcefully recruit them.

But even so, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi did not give up their efforts to control the advance of Yanbei.

The Shanxi Japanese Army sent an officer advisory team to the Yanbei Advance Army, led by a second lieutenant and ten non-commissioned officers.
