After unifying everyone's thoughts. Bai Yihua led the Independent Regiment to advance south. They walked through the mountains and rivers of the Lesser Xing 'an Mountains. During this period of time, Bai Yihua had a deeper understanding of Tang Jian through his conversation with him. Tang Jian was not from the northeast. He was from Shanxi. At that time, Shanxi people were used to taking Xikou. Tang Jian and an uncle from the same family went to Shandong. After a period of hard work, they found that this was not a place to make a living, so they followed the Shandong people to the east of the country. At that time, Tang Jian was only twenty years old. Later, the Japanese invaded the northeast. The Puppet Manchukuo and the Imperial Association Army were catching people everywhere. Tang Jian was hiding everywhere, but in the end, he was still caught by the Imperial Association Army. In the Imperial Association Army, Tang Jian was quickly promoted to company commander with his fearless spirit, strong body, and flexible mind. However, in the Imperial Association Army, Tang Jian couldn't stand the enslavement of the Imperial Association Army in front of the Japanese and the swagger in front of the Chinese. Therefore, he pulled this company out and went up the mountain to become a beard. However, they specialized in fighting the Japanese and the puppet Manchurian Imperial Association. Perhaps it was because of his fame, General Yang Jingyu had approached him several times and asked him to join the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army. Thus, they became the Third Regiment under General Yang Jingyu. Later on, through Yang Jingyu's introduction, Tang Jian joined the Chinese Party. This time, it was Yang Jingyu who first talked to him about the collaboration with Bai Yihua and the Independent Regiment. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart and felt that what Commander Yang Yang said made sense, so Tang Jian began to lead the team closer to Bai Yihua and the others. He didn't expect that the independent regiment of Bai Yihua would be besieged by the Japanese, which was why that scene happened.
During that period of time, Bai Yihua and Tang Jian chatted more and more happily. The two of them greatly regretted not meeting each other earlier.
The troops arrived at a small town surrounded by mountains. This small town was called Qinglin Town. This was a small town hidden deep in the mountains. Tumen Train Station was 50 kilometers away from Qinglin Town. There were no Japanese soldiers stationed in Qinglin Town. Perhaps the Japanese had not discovered this place yet. Before September 18th, this place was bustling with thieves. When thirsty, there was a teahouse, when dirty, there was a bathhouse, and when bored, there was a theater. After the September 18th Incident, there was war everywhere, and everyone was in a panic. Azure Forest Town became the place where Beard gathered. However, none of them dared to stay here for long. They were worried that the Japanese might invade at any time. At that time, they would lose their heads. How could they enjoy themselves?
Bai Yijing led the 1,000 people to the Azure Forest Town, causing the uneasy Azure Forest Town to become lively again. Before entering the Azure Forest Town, Bai Yihua had given the soldiers a death order. They had to pay for meals outside and were not allowed to harass the local residents. After some research, Bai Yihua decided that the troops would rest here for three days. Yes, the troops had been wandering in the mountains for two months. It was not easy to reach a place with people and no Japanese here. It was indeed time to rest. In fact, the three days of rest was very tight for the Independent Regiment. They had a lot of work to do. First, they had to prepare food. Second, they had to study the marching route. In addition, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment also needed a good rest to relieve their fatigue. However, after being in a tense state for a long time and relaxing, people would also collapse. Although Bai Yihua had strictly forbidden the soldiers of the Independent Regiment from entering places such as casinos and brothels, there were still people who did not go along with him.
In the casino where the Azure Forest was the most heavily guarded, the lights were dim, and smoke was rising. Curses, yells, and shuffling sounds mixed together, making it a noisy scene. There were independent regiment warriors here. His name was Hou San, a company commander of the 3rd Battalion. They were soldiers of the Tang Sword Third Regiment. His gambling skills were very good, and he could often play a high hand at the critical moment, so the gamblers gave him a nickname: Monkey Three. As time passed, people even forgot his real name, and Hou San was also happy for people to accept him like this. Most of the soldiers in the old army liked to gamble. First, the officers in the old army liked to gamble. They organized soldiers to gamble in order to squeeze the blood and sweat of the soldiers. Secondly, these soldiers had nothing to do in the military camp. They did not have any goals in their minds and could only do this to pass the time. Some time ago, the army had been marching and fighting. Hou San did not have the time or the mood to think about this matter. He could not care less about his own life. Now that the army had entered the Green Forest Town, he had free time. There was also a casino here. Could his heart be at peace? So after dinner, Hou San sneaked to the largest casino in Qinglin Town. His luck today was not bad. He had already won several rounds in a row, and there was already a huge pile of money in front of him. This made one of the gamblers lose so badly that his eyes turned red. This gambler was called Sloppy. This guy was not a good person either. He was a well-known hooligan in the Qinglin area. After the Japanese occupied the three eastern provinces, he had a relationship with the Japanese secret service. As soon as the independent group entered Qinglin Town, Hou San wanted to sneak out and send a letter to the Japanese. Unfortunately, after the independent group entered Qinglin Town, they controlled all the entrances and exits of the town, making it impossible for him to sneak out. At this moment, he was standing on the ground with one leg and the other on the stool. He stared at the cards in his hand with his bloodshot eyes. His first card was Tiger Head, which was worth 11 points. His second card was a human card, which was worth 8 points. Adding the two cards together and removing the whole number, it was exactly 9 points. This was the highest point in Pai Gow. He was so happy that he was going crazy. As for Hou San's cards, the first card was a monkey card, which was a 6 point, which was an unlucky sign. He slammed the second card on the table with force. It was another monkey card, which was a 3 point. The two cards added up to exactly 9 points. This was the trump card in Pai Gow, which was the monkey three. Hou San ate the entire house. This time, he could not be careless anymore. He said that Hou San cheated. The other gamblers followed suit. They just didn't want to pay. At this moment, Hou San took out a pistol from his waist and threw it on the table."Motherf * cker, who has evidence to prove that I cheated?”The others stopped talking. When Hu Hu saw Hou San's spear, he understood that this was the Anti-Japanese Alliance. So he immediately smiled at Hou San, saying that it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. In fact, he already had an idea to leave the town.
Hou San returned to the encampment after winning a lot of money. He was in a good mood. Little did he know that his actions not only brought him a fatal disaster, but also almost brought disaster to the independent regiment.
The next night, Ma Hu and Hou San met at the casino again. This time, Ma Hu deliberately lost to Hou San. After playing until midnight, Ma Hu said that he had no money and wanted Hou San to accompany him home to get the money. He said to Hou San,"Brother Hou, your army is stationed in the town. My house is in a small village outside the town. Without you, I can't leave the town. If you send me out, won't you have money?
