"I regret it. My intestines are green with regret. I regret it so much."
County Magistrate Fang regretted it, and he was not pretending. His expression and his regretful tears told Duanwu that he really regretted it.
But Duanwu shook his head and said, "It's too late. Each of us must be responsible for the mistakes we made, don't you think so?"
"kindness!"
County Magistrate Fang responded with a choked voice, and then burst into tears.
But it's useless, because as Duanwu said, everyone has to pay for their own mistakes. He killed so many people and defected to the Japanese. Duanwu rewarded him with a gun. He should be grateful. , what more can you ask for?
"Execution!"
At this moment, Chen Shusheng shouted loudly for execution, while the soldiers of the Independent Regiment put their guns at the back of the traitor's head one after another.
At this time, some traitors were crying and begging for mercy, some had legs like chaff, and some had even been frightened to the point of peeing.
But all this is of no use, because they have to atone for the sins of those they killed.
boom! Bang bang! ...
The gunshot rang out, and with the loud gunshot, more than thirty traitors fell to the ground like dead dogs, ending their criminal lives.
At this moment, the crowd present cheered because they finally let go of the bad breath in their hearts.
This is the resentment they have suppressed deep in their hearts for a long time and have nowhere to vent. The Japanese are here, they have guns and cannons, they kill like crazy, they are arrogant and unreasonable.
Ordinary people are in danger of being shot dead even if they see them on the road, let alone provoking them.
I remember one time, two Japanese guys drank too much in a tavern, and because they didn't agree with each other, they used the guests in the tavern as bets.
Two people randomly shot and killed the guests present, killing and wounding dozens of people.
But not only did these Japs not receive the punishment they deserved, but a family of young and old in the restaurant were also arrested by traitors and beaten until they were found guilty of being resisters, and the guests who were killed were also resisters.
More than 30 people died unjustly at home and abroad, but this is just the tip of the iceberg.
In order to please the Japanese, County Magistrate Fang went around arresting nominal rebels. However, in fact, he was just avenging his private revenge and arrested all those who had previously let him be the county magistrate. The crime was punished.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival was kind to County Magistrate Fang. Otherwise, according to his crime, he would have been punished more than a hundred times.
So how could the people of Taixing County not be happy after witnessing County Magistrate Fang and other traitors committing suicide?
At this time, seeing the crowd's excitement, Duan Wu felt that the time was ripe, and he suddenly shouted loudly:
"Folks and compatriots! Although these traitors are dead, the Japs have not been beaten away. They will come back. And by that time, you will still be enslaved by the Japs.
You won’t have enough to eat, you won’t have enough to wear, and you’ll run the risk of being wrongly accused and beheaded at any time! "
"Yes, the little devil will come back. What should we do?"
"That's right, these traitors are dead, why don't those little devils take it out on us?"
"Oh, it's really hard to live these days, isn't it?"
·············
All the people were very embarrassed after hearing what Duanwu said, but at this moment, a wiser elder asked: "Sir, we people don't have an idea. Can you give me an idea?"
"Yes, yes, sir, can you give us an idea?"
Everyone agreed. At this time, Duanwu said with an embarrassed expression: "Actually, this idea is not easy to come up with. As an officer, I am deeply embedded in the enemy's hinterland. If I come up with this idea, I'm afraid the villagers will say I’m pretending to be a public servant for personal gain!”
"No, no, sir, you have avenged us today. You are our great benefactor. If you give us an idea, we all believe in you."
The old man said again and bowed.
The common people present all learned the same thing and bowed to the Dragon Boat Festival for advice.
Duanwu coughed twice, lowered his throat, and then said: "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged in troubled times. If you want to avoid becoming a mere fish in these troubled times, the only way is to get a gun and join the army.
If you get a gun, get a living allowance, share food, and go into battle to kill the Japanese, you will have a good reputation. If you kill a lot of Japanese and get promoted to an officer, you will have a glorious ancestor!
To be honest, fellow villagers, I was originally a top soldier of the security group, just making a living.
The little devil is here, and we men will fight against the special girl. From the Battle of Songhu to the present. Not only am I still alive, but I also hold the military rank of colonel. The Chairman of the Generalissimo personally awarded me the medal.
Folks, when the Japanese are beaten away, we will return home in fine clothes. What kind of scene will that be? Not to mention the county magistrate of this small Taixing County, even if a senior official meets us, he must be polite! "
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?"
"It's good to be a soldier. The only way out for us is to be a soldier!"
"Be a soldier, I want to be a soldier!"
·············
Everyone's thoughts suddenly became lively.
But at this moment, Duanwu said again: "Now that you are a soldier, you will be paid ten yuan to live in, a bag of rice and noodles each, and you will be fired immediately. If you kill the Japanese, you will have meritorious service."
"Be a soldier, I want to be a soldier!"
"Me, and me!"
"I, my name is Zhao Dezhu!"
"My name is Wang Haishan!"
"My name is Feng Jiuming,..."
·············
"We don't want women, we only want men."
Recruitment was booming, and everyone wanted to join the independent regiment.
Dragon Boat Festival was slightly happy, because recruiting troops was so simple. What propaganda, what about raping young men? In fact, they don’t need anything. All they need is money and guns.
Money: You can marry a wife with two dollars. Women were worthless at that time.
Food: One bag of food can save a family, and two bags of food can be called rich.
Gun: The capital to save your life on the battlefield. Without money, being a soldier means you will die.
But there are not only guns but also cannons here during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the ocean is discovered, so there is enough food.
Grandma, the arsenal and granary of the little devils in Taixing County were also taken away by the Dragon Boat Festival, with more than a hundred rifles, two machine guns, two mortars, more than thirty artillery shells, two grenades, and fifty artillery shells. Yu Fa, as well as various Hanyang-made rifles confiscated by the Japanese in the past, and fifty Zhongzheng rifles.
Thirty shell guns and six other types of pistols were seized from the traitor's home. And these weapons and equipment are enough to equip a company of Dragon Boat Festival equipment.
The total strength of the Dragon Boat Festival suddenly expanded to more than 500 people.
But the food could not be taken away at all. The little devils plundered a lot of food during the month they occupied Taixing County, and a lot of the food was stained with the blood of the people.
They were distributed during the Dragon Boat Festival, not even a grain of rice left for the little devils.
But at this time, Chen Shusheng said worriedly: "Tuanzu, we have been waiting in Taixing County for too long, and don't you have to arrive at the Fairy Temple at two o'clock this afternoon? By this time, it is already too late! ... ..”
