crackle With the sound of a series of firecrackers, the small town of Qingyuan was as lively as a festival.
In the distance, a large group of soldiers marched forward, with dozens of mounted soldiers in the middle guarding one arch and eight carrying a large sedan chair.
Seeing the red sedan, everyone in the town knew that Luo Songtao of the Northern Sichuan Border Guard Brigade was back.
The people who set off the firecrackers were organized by some officials from Qingchuan and Pingwu counties.
For a time, most of the town was submerged in a smoke screen.
"Brigade, Brigade, you are back."
Yu Zhizhong, the leader of the 1st Regiment of the Border Defense Brigade, and the staff of the brigade warmly greeted him.
"I'm back, I'm back.
After half a year's absence, a wanderer always has to return home in fine clothes."
A very rich middle-aged man opened the curtain on the sedan with his fleshy palm, looked at the people greeted by the brigade, and showed a kind face. smile.
But his subordinates knew that this guy who looked like Maitreya Buddha was a true cannibal.
It turned out that he was the one who killed the commander of the border brigade, and the disobedient subordinates were not expelled.
Northern Sichuan was almost bankrupt.
"Fathers, fellow citizens, and civil and military officials from several counties all bowed their heads and looked forward to the return of the brigade."
The chief of staff also flattered the world, but at this time the chief of staff changed the subject, "But Commander Hong said that he has a leg problem. , It’s not convenient to come to see the host, and I don’t know if he really has a leg problem or is just trying to excuse himself.”
"Recruitment letter?
He is an honest man.
He must be really ill."
Luo Songtao squinted his eyes and smiled.
The chief of staff sighed.
He had served Luo Songtao for many years and knew very well what kind of temper he was.
Luo Songtao is not as generous as he seems on the surface.
Someone might not remember who came to greet him.
But whoever didn't come will definitely be remembered.
With Luo Songtao's personality, Hong Chengbo must have registered in his heart.
"Wow" The footsteps of the brigade sounded.
Luo Songtao looked slightly startled and pretended to be unhappy, "Didn't I tell you not to be too extravagant?
Why are so many people still dispatched?"
The chief of staff and Yu Zhizhong, who came with him, looked at each other and were also a little confused.
The two of them did not mobilize a large number of soldiers in the brigade to attend the welcoming ceremony of Lao Shizi.
Look at this posture.
At least two battalions of nearly 600 people came.
"Hey Hong Chengbo, doesn't that kid have leg problems, but he can still ride a horse well?
Damn it, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, don't ask me to speak, I will give him a hard time today.
"A few people in the team who had been slandering Hong Chengbo for a long time said, rolling up their sleeves and looking like they were about to put up a fight.
"Yes, I have to give him an embarrassment today and be disrespectful to you.
It's really ungrateful.
It doesn't matter how he got his current status."
Luo Songtao still had a smile on his face, but he did not stop these sounds.
If a subordinate like Hong Chengbo is beaten inappropriately, then all the monsters and monsters in the brigade will ride on his neck in the future.
"Commander Hong, you are so arrogant.
Even the brigade can only wait for your arrival in the town."
The chief of staff said with a smile.
The Sichuan Army does not pay attention to the staff system like the 15th Route Army.
He, the chief of staff, is still far behind Hong Chengbo, the real leader of the regiment.

However, with Luo Songtao here, there is no need to be afraid of him.
If he can pull Hong Chengbo off this time, he may not be able to climb up again.
One step opportunity.
"Anyway, didn't I see that there were too few people to meet the bus driver, so I specially brought brothers from the brigade to greet the bus driver?
Adjutant Wang, please invite the bus driver, the chief of staff, and others down to entertain him well.
No one can approach without my order."
Hong Chengbo sat on the horse and laughed.
If it were normal times, he and others would have been waiting for Luo Songtao's arrival in the town early, nodding and bowing in front of Luo Songtao, but when the chief of staff and the commander of the 1st regiment were waiting In that time, he led his men to recruit most of the 1st regiment without wasting much effort.
They are all well-informed troops.
During the operation, most of the opponent's troops were either visiting brothels or gathering people to gamble.
As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
When they got close to the big tree of the 15th Route Army, Hong Chengbo and Luo Songtao lost their usual cautiousness when talking to each other.
In addition, after it was confirmed that what was in the woman's belly was indeed the Hong family's flesh and blood, Hong Chengbo was in an especially good mood.
"Presumptuous, Hong Chengbo, you are so rebellious, why are you talking to the host?"
Wang Zhizhong and others stared at Hong Chengbo in disbelief.
"It's not necessarily true that he is going against the will of God, but it is true that he is going against his surname Luo."
Hong Chengbo laughed.
"Hong Chengbo, I have always treated you well and promoted you to be my most trusted regiment leader.
You, why do you treat our province and governor like this?
Commander Deng will not let you go if he finds out."
Luo Songtao asked with a trembling voice. road.
"Sir, you have done many unjust things.
If you are captured without mercy, I can spare you a little favor.
If you want to resist, you can't blame me for being ruthless.
As for the way out, I don't need you to worry about me.
Adjutant Wang, take action."
On the 15th road With the help of the army, most of Wang Zhizhong's regiment was first recruited.
At this time, Hong Chengbo no longer had any worries.
Following Hong Chengbo's order, the soldiers of the brigade raised their rifles and surrounded Luo Songtao and his party.
The local gentry who were watching the excitement and wanted to get closer to Luo Songtao were also violently separated at this time.
"Captain Hong, if you cut the grass without eradicating the root, it will grow again with the spring breeze."
Next to Hong Chengtao, a young man with a strong face and wearing an ordinary major's military uniform said softly.
"Well, Luo Songtao has been my senior officer for many years."
Hong Chengtao looked a little embarrassed.
"Since Commander Hong has a hard time making this decision, let me solve this problem for Commander Hong."
The young man suddenly stretched his hand over his head and made a gesture.
Bang, bang, in Hong Chengtao's surprised eyes, there were two harsh gunshots.
Luo Songtao and Wang Zhizhong in the crowd suddenly screamed and fell into a pool of blood.
Hong Chengtao, Adjutant Wang and others were startled.
If they had not seen the young man's calm expression, they would have panicked and called the guards to protect the surrounding area.
Hong Chengtao looked around a few times in fear.
He was surrounded by his people.
It stands to reason that as long as someone shoots, there is no reason to escape from his sight.
But Luo Songtao and Wang Zhizhong died in front of his eyes.
He didn't even know who shot him.

Looking in the direction of the gunfire, there was a big tree and an iron tower a few hundred meters away.
But with such a noise, Hong Chengtao didn't dare to be too sure.
"Captain Hong, don't look at it.
It was our people who did it.
They just wanted to clear up any future troubles."
The young man smiled lightly, "I'll go back first.
Commander Hong will control the troops as soon as possible."
Hong Chengtao broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the other party was not his enemy.
Otherwise, with the methods he revealed, there would be no way for him to survive:
