Chapter 67 Shaling Town
Hu Fei thought about it and always felt that it was inappropriate to go back and report to Lao Beifeng now, but what if he didn't report it? When he came to Panshan this time, he brought more than 20 people from the Pioneer Team. Can these more than 20 people conquer Shaling Town? It's probably a bit difficult?
When is this? It is a time when every minute of the time must be fought for a moment and cannot be delayed! Every time a minute is delayed, the Japanese may enter Shaling! Even if there are no Japanese, Ling Yinqing alone can mobilize a large number of puppet troops. If this guy draws hundreds or thousands of puppet troops to Shaling Town, it will be even more difficult to capture Ling Yinqing alive at that time!
After quickly weighing the gains and losses of both sides, Hu Fei had already made a decision in his heart, "Third brother, I will go to the boss immediately for you and say that I went to Shaling Town, and Ling Yinqing might have hid in Shaling! Go back and tell Feng Quan that he would break the brothers from the Pioneer Village into pieces and take them to Shaling. After arriving, he would join me. I want to take Shaling Town and capture Ling Yinqing alive!"
"Yeah!" Scar San agreed heavily, stared at Hu Fei and Li San for a few more glances, turned around and ran away.
"Let's go to Shaling Town!" Hu Fei went over and patted Li San on the shoulder, and took the lead on the road. Li San touched the slingshot in his waist and quickly followed behind.
Behind these two people, a group of people gradually gathered, and these people were the vanguard team brought out by Hu Fei. Since they had not encountered any real battle in Panshan, these people have been hiding in various identities not far from Hu Fei. Now that the boss is going to Shaling Town, these people naturally have to come out and go with them.
Shaling Town is in the southeast of Panshan County, about fifty miles away from the county town. Since entering Panshan is for information, riding a horse into the city is too easy to attract attention, so Hu Fei and his vanguard team both left the horses in the team. When they were in the city, the goal was small, but now it would be a bit troublesome to go out of the city to walk dozens of miles to Shaling Town.
Fifty miles said it was not far away, but it was not close at all. If you walked completely on your legs, you would probably have to walk all day! It was already afternoon, which means you could get at least early morning when you arrived at Shaling Town! Anyway, you can't enter the town during the day, so Hu Fei was not anxious, just keeping the normal walking speed for ordinary people to rush forward.
I have also encountered several carriages on the way, but these carriages are not together. They often only take one or two hours to see one. There are more than 20 people on Hu Fei's side, and there are so many people in a carriage. Hu Fei doesn't want to take the carriage himself and let his subordinates walk, so he simply turns a blind eye to the passing carriages. You go yours, I go mine, and we won't interfere with each other.
In fact, people like him are beards themselves, and robbing a carriage along the way is not a big deal. However, Hu Fei, the leader, did not give orders, and the soldiers under his command were not easy to rob. Hu Fei's unintentional act gave a good start to his subordinates. Since then, the troops he led rarely disturbed the people. The reason why Hu Fei's troops were later supported was from this day on.
Sleeping at night and rushing to the early morning, Hu Fei led his vanguard team to Shaling Town. Since the Japanese sent troops to the northeast for not long, although Fengtian was occupied, Huang Xiansheng led his police force to resist in Jinzhou, and the Northeast Army did not completely retreat into the pass. There were no Japanese troops coming and going on the country road here, so Hu Fei and the others were smooth and unexpected.
At noon the next day, I saw Shaling Town. It was said to be a town, but in fact it was a village gathering area slightly larger than the village. It had streets and markets but no city walls, and the scale was much smaller than that of Panshan County. Since it happened to be noon, there were not many pedestrians on the street.
People are relatively simple nowadays. They basically eat lunch at home at noon, and few people go out to stroll around. Although Hu Fei's group may not attract many people's attention, he still dispersed people for safety reasons. The goal of entering the town in groups of three or four is much smaller.
There is a main street in the town. Although the sparrows are small and all kinds of things are open, there are restaurants, department stores, barber shops, oil presses, and clothing shops. There is everything you should have. There is even a bathhouse in the town. Although there are not many people on the street at this moment, the prosperity of the town can be seen from these various shops.
Hu Fei narrowed his eyes and saw from one end, but he didn't see where the puppet army's barracks were. Isn't Ling Yinqing here? Where else could the old guy hide besides hiding in the barracks? Didn't Lu Jinbiao say that there was also a company of puppet army stationed in Shaling Town? Why didn't he even look at the shadow of a puppet army?
I looked left and right but couldn't see the puppet army he was looking for. I smelled the aroma of food on my nose. Yes, this is the fragrance of sorghum rice! I rushed to the morning breakfast, and after walking to the morning, I had already digested all the food in my stomach. I just thought to myself that I didn't feel it. Now when I smelled the aroma of food, the feeling of hunger surged up like a tide.
No matter what, let’s have a meal first! Hu Fei took the lead and walked over to the largest restaurant in the town. One street saw from beginning to end, and the shop with Yipinxiang sign in the middle was the most conspicuous. What wasn’t that the largest restaurant?
Even though the town is different from the county town, there is no one who greets the guests at the door when they come to the front. Yesterday, when they arrived at the Yingbin Building in Panshan County, the guy greeted him from all the way. Unlike here, he has arrived in front of the gate without even a figure!
"Is anyone?" Hu Fei felt angry when he looked at the greasy door curtain. He didn't pick the curtain, but stood at the door and shouted in. Touching the dirty door curtain would affect his appetite. Even if he wanted to go in for dinner, he had to ask the restaurant's servant to lift the curtain for him!
"Who? Ah, someone, someone!"
Listen, is this like the sound of a restaurant guy greeting guests?
Hu Fei was unhappy and brought his face out, so the one who picked out the curtain saw a cold face. This one was obviously stunned for a moment, but the quality of the service staff quickly gained the upper hand.
I saw that the man who was surprised just now had a smile on his face. He raised the door curtain high and sang the business script with a smile: "Oh, how many, ah, are you here? Haha, please, please, please, please. Our small shop has the best pot wine in Shaling Town, stewed with white meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed with vermicelli, and everything is available. Hurry up, sit inside, sit inside."
Looking at this chubby and smiling face, Hu Fei felt a little unhappy even though he was a little unhappy. At mealtime, was there anyone standing at the restaurant and getting angry? It would be better to go in and eat a few more bites of food!
