Shen Mancang knew he was going to die!
He knelt there crying and shouting: "I really have no choice. I was forced. They threatened me with my wife and children. I really have no choice."
Meng Shaoyuan looked at him with interest, as if he was looking at a clown.
His wife and children were also shivering on the side.
"Have you finished the performance?"
Finally, Meng Shaoyuan lost his patience: "I like to watch people act, but it's not such a clumsy show. My people can never die in vain. But the one who died was still my favorite brother!"
He said coldly: "Lao Yue's head was chopped off and hung in Changshu, so let's bury him with two heads!"
Shen Mancang was executed by Meng Shaoyuan himself.
In front of Shen Mancang's wife and children, in front of all the villagers in Jiubian Village.
"You don't have to look at me." Meng Shaoyuan said to Shen Mancang's son who was staring at him: "I am never afraid of someone coming to take revenge on me. If you grow up, come and take revenge on me. It's a pity that I can't see your face. , you won’t survive for more than a few years.”
"Sir, what should we do with these villagers?"
"Gather them all together and imprison them together. Set up the machine guns for me outside. Anyone who tries to escape will be shot to death!" Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Use Jiubian Village as the general headquarters and order all armed forces to move closer to me!"
"When will we fight in Changshu?"
"I'm still waiting for news from there!"
Now that I have finished all the things that I should do here, I can see the truth.
…
Military pay has not arrived yet.
Brothers down there, how many times a day can I ask.
The consistent answer is, soon, soon, almost there.
Fei Qiang began to murmur in his heart.
Can these military commanders really wipe out their military pay?
"The military pay will not arrive."
When walking into the battalion headquarters, Fazheng said calmly: "I just received news from Nanjing that He Jiazhen killed two of his soldiers and absconded with the money."
"What, really?"
Fei Qiang was startled and stood up quickly.
He Jiazhen absconded with the money, right?
"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander!"
Political counselor Lou Zhen hurried in: "I just heard the news in Changshu, something happened in Nanjing."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Two corpses were found on the outskirts of Nanjing. They were the people we sent to collect military pay. We also found a discarded military uniform, which belonged to He Jiazhen. Our remaining brothers were detained by the Nanjing Gendarmerie. According to verification, we My military pay has already been paid."
Fei Qiang glanced at Fazheng, "Sure, you guys, this is really done."
"Battal Commander, this is a serious matter." Lou Zhen said anxiously: "The military pay has been delayed again and again. The little money paid a year ago is not enough for the brothers to plug the holes before. The brothers also have to live. Seeing that The morale of this army is unstable... Also, when Yue Zhenchuan was wiped out, the promised bonus was not even paid."
"Stay steady, we must stabilize the morale of the army!" Fei Qiang looked anxious: "I will ask the regiment commander myself."
"Battal Commander, several company and platoon commanders are here, saying they want to see you outside!"
Fei Qiang dressed in military uniform:
"Let's go out and take a look."
Outside, the entire company and platoon commanders of the first battalion arrived.
"What are you doing?" Lou Zhen said with a straight face: "Who gave the order for you to come?"
"Battal commander, political instructor." The first company commander stepped forward and asked, "When will our military pay arrive?"
Lou Zhen said bravely: "Hurry, soon."
"Political instructor, how long are you going to lie to us?" The first company commander said firmly: "Brothers all know that that bastard He Jiazhen ran away with our hard-earned money, right?"
Why did word spread so quickly?
Fei Qiang couldn't help but glance at Fazheng and saw Fazheng smiling slightly.
No need to think about it, it must have been spread deliberately by these military commanders.
"It's nonsense." Lou Zhen still said stubbornly: "This is spreading rumors."
"Spreading rumors? Okay, I'll spread rumors."
The first company commander did not give in at all: "What about military pay?"
A platoon leader also said: "Batalion Commander, you are good to the brothers. The brothers appreciate your affection, but the brothers have to live their lives. My platoon is about to cause trouble. If this continues, I am afraid that I will suppress the troops." I can’t stand it any longer.”
"Can't you suppress it?" Lou Zhen sneered: "Do you want to mutiny?"
"Political Leader, it's over." Fei Qiang, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "Brothers put on these clothes and shed blood and worked hard for a few military pay? You can't get military pay, why do you still ask your brothers to do it?" Can't we talk?"
"Batalion Commander, you..."
Just as Lou Zhen spoke, Fei Qiang interrupted him: "Brothers, you followed me and suffered a lot. I don't want to hide anything from you anymore. Our military salary was indeed stolen by that bastard He Jiazhen!"
The battalion commander confirmed it himself, and there was an uproar.
"Damn it, He Jiazhen, that bastard!"
"Damn it, He Jiazhen is the regimental leader's brother, there's no way he doesn't know."
"Battal Commander, let's go ask the regiment commander for pay!"
Fei Qiang tried his best to calm everyone down:
"Brothers, I am your battalion commander. The military pay has been delayed for a long time. It is my duty as the battalion commander. Gather the whole battalion quietly to me. Tomorrow night, we will go to Changshu to ask for pay!"
The company and platoon leaders cheered.
Lou Zhen was anxious: "Batalion Commander, you are leading a mutiny!"
"I'm not a mutiny. I want to help the brothers get back the money they gave their lives for!" Fei Qiang said with a stern face: "Political Leader, I have to temporarily wrong you. Someone came and fired the political leader's gun. Leave him under my care!"
…
"Report, Wei Yunzhe, captain of the second detachment of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Zhongyi National Salvation Army, was ordered to report!"
"Report, Wang Jingzhong, leader of the Taihu Guerrilla Detachment of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Zhongyi National Salvation Army, was ordered to report!"
"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly.
"Sir, Lao Yue died unjustly!" Wei Yunzhe said with red eyes: "He did not die in the hands of the Japanese, but in the hands of those bastard puppet soldiers!"
"Why are you howling?" Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "I am here today to help Lao Yue take revenge!"
Wei Yunzhe nodded vigorously: "Sir, two of our people are here too."
Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Who?"
"Report to the district chief, Yuan Zhonghe, director of the Yancheng Station of the Military Command Bureau and commander-in-chief of the Yanxingdong guerrillas!"
Yuan Zhonghe!
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't believe his eyes: "Old Yuan, why are you here?"
"Lao Yue is gone. I know you will definitely avenge him, so I'm here." Yuan Zhonghe smiled sadly: "I have to see Lao Yue off for the last time. Yuan Zhonghe left his post without permission. Punishment.”
"Okay, now that we are here, let's help Lao Yue get revenge together. Let's talk about the punishment later." Meng Shaoyuan asked: "There is someone else, who is it?"
"it's me."
A woman leisurely appeared in front of Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned when he saw her.
