At the same time, just as Shangguan Zhibiao was rushing towards Dongping County with his mobile troops, the battle in Dongping County had ended.
The Japanese county government building was breached and all the Japanese inside were annihilated. Wu Zhiwen's pistol brigade also surrendered.
Wu Zhiwen, the king of job hopping, not only has high emotional intelligence, but also is wise. When he realized that he had no chance of winning and the imperial army was about to be defeated, he immediately waved the white flag and surrendered.
However, his security team originally had more than 700 people, but now there are only more than 300 people left. The rest were either killed or ran away.
Zhou Tianyi was taking custody of the surrendered people and collecting their weapons.
Wu Zhiwen and a group of officers of various sizes from the security regiment were all escorted to the county government and handed over to the Dragon Boat Festival.
At this time, Duanwu was discussing the scouts with Zhao Weidong.
The Bantian Regiment from Ningyang County has been wiped out, and what they will face next will be the Japanese from Feicheng and Pingyin County.
These two lines of Japanese reinforcements should be approaching Dongping County.
But Duanwu didn't panic, because now the entire Dongping County had fallen into his hands. He defended according to the danger, and it was difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to invade.
Therefore, as long as Shangguan Zhibiao can arrive in time, the battle will be almost certain.
But even so, Dragon Boat Festival must keep track of the enemy's movements to avoid missing anything.
For example, the number of Japanese reinforcements, firepower, etc.
So Duanwu asked Zhao Weidong to send scouts with radios to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Pingyin County and Feicheng. Once traces of the enemy were discovered, they could use the radios to report at any time.
Soon, the scouts were sent out. And Dragon Boat Festival asked Zhao Weidong to send people outside the city to bring the horses from the cavalry camp into the city.
They entered Dongping County through a tunnel before, so the horses couldn't get in at all. A class of about thirty people from the cavalry battalion was left to guard them, and they were all tied up in the woods outside the city.
At this time, the battle has ended. The first reason for the war horses to enter the city is for safety, and the second reason is that the cavalry will be used during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The terrain near Dongping County tends to be flat, and it is also at night. Once the Japanese and puppet troops retreat under the city, he can use the cavalry to charge, which may have an unexpected effect.
However, just when Duanwu was thinking about this matter and taking advantage of some free time to smoke a cigarette, Ma Pingan stood behind Duanwu with a smile.
Duan Wu felt funny in his heart and thought: This old horse, I thought he saved someone and just left like that. But I don't want him to leave yet. Are you waiting to share something?
At this time, Duanwu was feeling funny, but he didn't expect Jiang Wanchao to escort four guerrillas in Japanese uniforms.
Jiang Wanchao said: "Comrade Duanwu, these are the people who almost ruined your plan. It's up to you to deal with them."
Duanwu felt that this was a bitter trick. Because just now these four people not only violated his order, but also almost ruined the matter. So Ma Ping'an and Jiang Wanchao brought them here at this time, probably just to give Duan Wu an explanation.
But this kind of explanation is usually done on the spot. For example: Ma Pingan and Jiang Wanchao handed people over to Duanwu, but Duanwu would say: Forget it!
Then the incident was over, so as not to affect the subsequent cooperation.
It can be said that as a responsible underground party member, Ma Pingan has been committed to getting closer to Duanwu and even wanted to develop Duanwu to become an underground party member.
And if Duanwu's status was not too high and he had nothing to offer, Ma Pingan would have taken action long ago.
I just didn't expect that at this time, Duanwu did not follow common sense and laughed with Ma Ping'an: "Hahaha, I don't know how your underground party handles violations of military orders before the war. But according to the regulations of the Central Army, disobedience before the war The law is rectified on the spot. Hahaha, this is my suggestion. The army must be run strictly, otherwise the orders will be carried out but not prohibited, so what is the use of military orders?"
Duanwu's words made Ma Ping'an's heart instantly freeze, because Duanwu's words couldn't be more obvious. There is nothing to say about disobeying military orders and executing the law on the spot.
And let alone the Dragon Boat Festival troops, even for the Eighth Route Army, disobeying orders on the battlefield is a capital crime.
But these four people were all the backbones selected from the guerrillas. If they all die, the guerrillas' combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
So thinking of this, Ma Pingan wanted to say a few good words for these four people. Although this went against his original intention, these were four lives after all.
But at this moment, these four men puffed up their chests and said, "If the worst happens, we'll shoot you. Twenty years later, I'll be a good man again. I'll pick up a gun and still fight the Japanese!"
"············"
Ma Pingan was extremely speechless and thought: I can't save you.
Of course, these are all angry words, and you need to be saved if you need to.
Just when Ma Pingan was about to say something, Duanwu smiled and said: "Haha, what? Do you think we people will fight the devils for twenty years and wait for you? You think too highly of yourself. Without you, we Aren't you going to fight the Japanese anymore?
Look at how cowardly you all are, disobeying military orders, and almost directly leading to the failure of the operation, but you don't feel the slightest bit of guilt in your heart. People like you will only be a disaster if you stay in the army. Still fighting the Japanese? You will kill all the people who really fight the Japanese! "
Dragon Boat Festival reprimanded, and at this time the four guerrillas finally lowered their heads in shame.
Duanwu snorted and said nothing more. Because according to military law, it is inevitable for these four people to be executed on the spot. But they are the guerrillas of the underground party, and there is no need for them to have conflicts with the guerrillas of the underground party over this trivial matter.
And seeing that Ma Ping'an still regards these four people as treasures, if he kills them, the old Ma will probably feel unhappy.
Therefore, it is better to give Lao Ma a favor during the Dragon Boat Festival, not to mention that he has to gain a lot in Dongping County.
This harvest naturally refers to traitors.
It was easy to kill a traitor, but after killing people, he had no reason to let these traitors shed any more blood.
Of course, those traitors who committed the most heinous crimes will also be killed. But before killing him, his assets still have to be confiscated.
It's just that Duanwu doesn't know much about Dongping County. Instead, Ma Ping'an has intelligence personnel in the city.
So in this matter, Duanwu had to give Lao Ma some face. What's more, Lao Ma is a very capable person, and Duanwu likes him very much.
"Haha, don't worry, brother Duanwu. I will definitely punish them severely when I go back. I will punish them severely."
Ma Ping'an kept laughing, but he winked at Jiang Wanchao and told him to pull him away quickly, lest the Duanwu brother in front of him change his mind again.
It can be said that if Duanwu wanted to kill these four people, he would have no choice. Disobeying orders on the battlefield, no matter in any army, has only one outcome, and that is to be shot on the spot, and will never be tolerated.
But he had to go through such a process, otherwise these four people almost ruined other people's plans. You didn't even say a word, so what did people think about Dragon Boat Festival?
So even if they die, these four people still have to show their faces in front of the Dragon Boat Festival.
But now, after this incident happened, Ma Ping'an showed his true colors, looking like a rich man. He was going to ask for something to order during the Dragon Boat Festival. Who knew the Dragon Boat Festival brothers were so nice and generous? If he doesn't get some benefits from following along, then he won't be called Ma Ping'an.
And this is why he hasn't left yet.
Because logically speaking, the important figure Dr. Qian has been rescued, and he should take him away quickly to complete his mission. But this old gentleman never left, and he didn't leave until the battle was over. This was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the street knew it! .
