Evening, 8 o'clock.
Shang Mingrong set a table at his regiment headquarters to entertain his confidants.
He also knew the news that He Jiazhen had fled with money.
Shang Mingrong was very angry.
If this bastard catches him, he must be skinned.
Let’s talk about it after this Lantern Festival is over.
While we were having a lively meal there, a cry suddenly came from outside:
"Captain, commander, something happened, something happened!"
Then I saw Lou Zhen running in staggeringly.
"What's wrong?"
Shang Mingrong was shocked.
"Mutiny, mutiny!"
As soon as Lou Zhen opened his mouth, everyone stood up with a roar.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Shang Mingrong asked quickly.
Lou Zhen gasped: "Fei Qiang and his first battalion have mutinied. They are about to reach Changshu. Commander, please prepare quickly."
"Damn it, I knew he was unreliable!"
Shang Mingrong's face turned livid: "Pang Zhong!"
"arrive!"
"Take your second battalion and defend Changshu immediately! As long as they dare to attack the position, shoot to death!"
"yes!"
"Send a report to Suzhou, requesting reinforcements, requesting reinforcements!"
Shang Mingrong kept giving orders.
But he also knew that Fei Qiang had made careful preparations when he chose to mutiny at this time.
It was unlikely that the Japanese would reinforce during the night.
But he wasn't too worried, as it wouldn't be difficult to stay on guard until dawn.
…
"Battal Commander, a machine gun has been set up on the other side!"
The people below were a little confused when they heard this.
News leaked? Changshu is already prepared?
"Ignore them, rush over!"
Fei Qiang loudly ordered: "We are here to ask for pay, they dare not shoot!"
With these words from the battalion commander, his men suddenly became bolder:
"Rush, rush, rush into Changshu and ask for pay!"
…
Changshu, outside position.
"Company commander, they are coming!"
"Call the battalion commander for instructions."
"Company commander, battalion commander said, attack the position and kill without mercy!"
"Fire in the air and issue a warning!"
After all, the company commander still thought that they were all brothers, so why should they kill each other? He could just give them a warning and let them retreat in the face of difficulties.
Changshu, they can't get in!
…
The sound of gunfire suddenly pierced the night sky.
The team that was advancing with great momentum suddenly became chaotic.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
I don’t know who it was, but it was the first person to shout: “It’s killing people, Shang Mingrong has ordered a suppression!”
The troops in the front were okay, but the troops in the back had no idea what was happening in front.
"More than a dozen of our brothers were beaten to death!"
The news quickly spread among the team.
Shang Mingrong ordered the force to suppress and annihilate the whole battalion. A dozen brothers who were at the front were killed, and the two sides began to exchange fire.
Passed to ten and hundreds, the news immediately became true.
The whole camp was in chaos.
"Brothers!" Fei Qiang said with murderous intent: "Shang Mingrong doesn't treat us as human beings. He Jiazhen was instigated by him. All the military pay is in his hands. He wants to push our battalion to death! Most of our battalion We all belong to the national army, and the Japanese have never trusted us. Brothers, they want us dead, but we are rebelling!"
"It's against it, it's against it!"
A dozen voices began to echo.
"It's against it, it's against it!"
The cluster effect is reflected again.
Was there any killing? No one cares.
How did the pay riot turn into a real mutiny? No one cares.
All I know is that everyone is shouting "rebellion", then it must be true!
On February 22, the 29th year of the Republic of China, the first battalion of the first regiment of the puppet Peace Army mutinied collectively under the planning of military reunification agents.
This is the "Lantern Festival Mutiny"!
…
The battle officially started at 8:35 pm.
Rains of bullets from light and heavy machine guns and rifles streaked across the sky, creating streaks of meteors in the night sky.
The first battalion knew that if they advanced, they would die, if they retreated, they would die, and on either side they would die, so they all risked their lives to do it.
At 9:30, unidentified armed men suddenly began to appear around.
But Fei Qiang informed the company and platoon leaders that they were here for reinforcements.
Reinforcements?
Why do you look like a guerrilla?
Was this mutiny planned in advance?
Some people are starting to come around.
But the matter has come to this, and there is no use saying more.
On the Changshu position, the firepower was equally fierce.
Among all the puppet armies, the Peace Army was better equipped and had stronger combat effectiveness. For a while, the two sides fought lively and it was difficult to tell the winner.
At 10 o'clock, two mortars from the first battalion were mobilized and began to bombard the Changshu position.
Changshu, not to be outdone, also used mortars for bombardment.
The two sides gradually began to form a stalemate.
…
The Japanese troops in Suzhou learned about the Changshu mutiny immediately.
Japanese commander Moriki Ichiro tentatively sent reinforcements.
But as soon as they left Suzhou City, they were immediately hit.
At night, it was unknown how many armed Japanese troops came from the other side. Worried about being ambushed, they quickly retreated into Suzhou.
Moriki Ichiro gave an order to Changshu:
Hold on till dawn!
With the power of Changshu, this order is not difficult to complete.
Ichiro Moriki is still very convinced of this.
…
The battle was in full swing.
There were casualties, but nothing serious.
The second battalion and the first company were responsible for the outside of the city.
The second battalion and second company are responsible for the defense of the city.
The officers and soldiers of the second company were all talking about it.
The reason why the First Battalion mutinied was because they were making a fuss over pay.
Yes, didn’t you get military pay? I heard that He Jiazhen fled with the money.
Everyone carries a gun to make a living. I don’t know if my head will still be there tomorrow. Is it easy?
Today is a battalion's turn to pay, and tomorrow it might be my turn to pay.
Hey, how good it is.
"who!"
"Sir, don't shoot. We have no weapons. We are here to see your company commander."
…
The second company commander looked at the man in front of him. He looked ordinary. There were four people following him, carrying two boxes.
"What do you do?"
"Sir, my surname is Ma, Ma Cheng."
Ma Cheng glanced at the company commander and then at the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, I am the cousin of Battalion Commander Fei Qiangfei. There was no mutiny in the first battalion. I just came to ask for the military pay they deserve. Isn't this too much? But Shang Mingrong actually shot and suppressed him! Brothers, today we killed brothers from the first battalion, and tomorrow, Shang Mingrong will point his guns at you!"
There were whispers all around.
"Shut up and arrest me!" the second company commander said sternly.
"Company Commander, what he said makes sense." A platoon leader muttered: "We are all brothers, why bother?"
"Company commander, the battalion commander called. The company can't stand it any longer. Let's quickly reinforce it!"
Before the second company commander could speak, Ma Cheng suddenly raised his voice:
"If you don't fight your own family, you will be a soldier and fight. What war will you fight if you don't have money? Someone, open the box!"
The box was opened.
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations.
An ocean full of boxes!
Ma Cheng grabbed a handful of ocean from the box:
"Brothers, take the money, we won't hit our own people!"
After saying that, he threw Dayang vigorously into the air!
