Chapter 21 Coincidental Encounter in the Great Camp

"This path is the shortest road to Daying. Thirty miles northeast from Daying is Pingxingguan. Brother Fei wants to take his brothers to Pingxingguan to fight the Japanese. This path is the closest road." Although it is only the second day after joining the army, Liu Xingkui has called Hu Fei Fei like the veterans of the cavalry brigade.

Daying Town is only thirty miles away from Pingxing Pass, and the distance is just right. I just don’t know what the humanities and geography is like there? If possible, it is a good choice to use Daying as a base and find opportunities around to get good food from the Japanese.

The camp is indeed a good place. During the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were many powerful generals among the Kuomintang and Communist armies. Hu Fei could think that the camp had a good location and had more people who were interested in this place before him. General Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army and commander-in-chief of the Pingxingguan Battle, was one of them.

Fu Zuoyi's command arrived half a day earlier than Hu Fei's cavalry brigade. The cavalry brigade set off at 7:30 in the morning. He took a shortcut and waited for Hu Fei to arrive at the camp at 11:30 in the afternoon, but the Seventh Army Command had arrived at the camp two hours ago. In other words, Fu Zuoyi and his headquarters set off in the middle of the night yesterday!

After Hu Fei arrived at Daying Town, he saw a large barracks. Teams of soldiers were in and out, cars and carriages rushed by, and everyone was wearing blue and gray uniforms of the National Army. The checkpoints around the town were also set up. Hu Fei and his troops were just around the path when they were stopped by the patrol.

"Stop! Which part of you are from?"

"We are from the Independent Cavalry Brigade of the Seventh Army, this is my certificate." The squad leader of the vanguard quickly went over to show his certificate to the patrol team.

Hu Fei slapped the horse in front and tilted his body to ask the soldiers in the patrol: "Brother, which commander is stationed in Daying Town?"

"The Independent Cavalry Brigade is directly under the Army Headquarters? Oh, you are Captain Hu's team. The town is stationed in the headquarters. If you go to Pingxingguan, you will be there all the way. If you come to the headquarters for office work, you have to wait. The commander of the Eighth Route Army is having a meeting inside. Who are you?"

"I'm Hu Fei."

"So it's Captain Hu. Salute!" The soldiers of the patrol stood attentively and saluted, but there was not much respect in their expressions. They were the guards of the headquarters, and the commander of the troops below came, and the soldiers of the command patrol team might not necessarily give him a good face. The reason why these soldiers saluted Hu Fei was because the Cavalry Brigade was also a direct team of the headquarters, and no one was outsiders.

Just as Hu Fei was about to pass through Daying Town directly along the way, a group of people suddenly came out of the town, and the number was more than 100. The people who came were wearing military uniforms, but they did not walk in neat rows. About 100 people were walking loosely. All the soldiers and soldiers who saw them stood attentively and saluted them on the road.

It seems that a high-ranking official has come, and maybe there is Fu Zuoyi in it! Hu Fei doesn't want to meet Fu Zuoyi at this moment.

Commander-in-Chief Fu asked the cavalry brigade to keep a distance of five kilometers from the headquarters. Hu Fei had an opinion on Fu Zuoyi because of this incident. On the one hand, it was obviously within five kilometers from the headquarters. If Commander-in-Chief Fu saw it, wouldn’t he violated the military order again?

He couldn't hide anymore, so Hu Fei asked his troops to evade the roadside and let others go first.

Hu Fei thought that even if he was allowed to escape to the roadside, he didn't know how eye-catching his cavalry brigade was.

More than 500 cavalrymen, plus nearly 1,000 infantrymen, the Independent Cavalry Brigade now has 1,500 cavalry infantrymen! A unit of 1,500 people appeared at the gate of the Army Command, and it would be difficult for him not to pay attention! When a commander saw such a unit coming to his gate, he would not ask about the origin of the number.

It was a coincidence that there was Commander-in-Chief Fu among the people who came! Fu Zuoyi frowned when he saw the more than a thousand cavalry soldiers outside the gate. He did not doubt the enemy of these people. Commander-in-Chief Fu just felt that the discipline of this army was too unreasonable! The commander-in-Chief has all come out, and the national troops at the gate have continued to smoke and chat without a glance. This is not too much to take the commander seriously!

Commander-in-Chief Fu asked the guards to go over and ask which unit the cavalry and infantry outside the gate was? The guards ran over and came back in less than five minutes. The unit at the gate was an independent cavalry brigade directly under the command, and the captain was named Hu Fei!

Hu Fei! It turned out to be this Hu bandit! Fu Zuoyi's face changed for a moment, so he simply turned his face away. He wanted to send the Eighth Route Army people away before talking about it.

"Commander Fu, is this your cavalry unit? It looks good! The soldiers are mighty and the spirit of war horses. At first glance, they are a battle-capable army. This unit is the army participating in the Battle of Bailing Temple, right?" A thin soldier with a pair of dark and thick eyebrows seemed to be a little interested in Hu Fei's cavalry brigade.

"Haha, Commander Lin is right. Some of them did participate in the Battle of Bailing Temple. Let's go, I'll send you out." Commander Fu obviously didn't want to talk about the cavalry unit. He was afraid that he would miss it too much. If Commander Lin knew about the origins of most of the people in the cavalry brigade, wouldn't he be laughed at by friendly troops?

A young soldier in the crowd stared at the cavalry brigade for a while and his eyes suddenly lit up. He walked a few steps in the middle and approached a middle-aged soldier and whispered something. The middle-aged soldier seemed a little surprised and asked again.

After the two had a short and low voice, the middle-aged soldier greeted Fu Zuoyi: "Commander-in-Chief Fu, can I meet and say hello to the commander of the heroic unit who participated in the Battle of Bailing Temple?"

Fu Zuoyi's face suddenly became a little stiff, "Hehe, hehe, yes, of course. Political Commissar Nie wants to meet, so I will call their captain over for you. Guards, go and call Captain Hu over!" When Fu Zuoyi was instructing the guards, he was still beating in his heart, praying in his heart that Hu Fei must not make a fool of himself in front of the Eighth Route Army!

Of course Hu Fei would not make a fool of himself! He used to be a beard, but he didn't know what the national army was doing. Now he already understood where he would make jokes?

After receiving the order from Fu Zuoyi's guard, Hu Fei sorted out his military uniform and cap, rode a spotted horse and trotted all the way. When he was still twenty meters away from Fu Zuoyi and others, a beautiful fish jumped off the horse's back. This jumping from the horse's back implies martial arts. Most people look elegant and beautiful, but it is almost impossible to do it as usual.

He trotted over twenty meters away, stood attentively and saluted, "Report to the commander-in-chief, Hu Fei of the Independent Cavalry Brigade was ordered to report!" His steps were elegant and he saluted casually. With Hu Fei's actions, the senior generals present nodded and praised.
