At this moment, Shang Zhen and the others knew that they had made a mistake.
Who is it that makes a mistake? The shopkeeper was wrong!
According to what Shang Zhen and others discussed, they wanted to rest for a few days, and they did not want to directly find troops from the Northeast Army to join.
After fighting one battle after another, they knew the cruelty of positional warfare. Since they had their own way of fighting, why did they have to fight with the Japanese army who had superior firepower?
Judging from the combat effectiveness, they killed the most Japanese troops and saved their own people the best.
Of course, from another perspective, this does not prevent them from actually being afraid of death. What they pursue is life and death, not death together!
It's just that now Shang Zhen and the others are really poor and have no money left.
Although they said they also scratched watches and other things on the Japanese soldiers when they were cleaning the battlefield, it was obviously unrealistic to use those things to exchange for the room and board expenses of these people.
They also knew that this was the city of Nanjing and that they could not use force, so they thought of this trick. Talking about the various atrocities committed by the Japanese was not exaggeration. It was to tell the truth and the owner of this inn should flee! This way they can stay in this inn first.
People who go to the battlefield always have murderous intent in them, but it is obvious that these people do not show any murderous intent in front of the shopkeeper. On the contrary, in the eyes of others, he is just a bunch of stragglers wearing rags.
The shopkeeper's seemingly decent social interaction was actually a back-and-forth. Instead, he went to report to the official.
Where is Nanjing?
Nanjing is the current capital of China.
Speaking from ancient times, it was at the feet of the emperor. The owner of the inn had also seen the world. It was obvious that Shang Zhen and the others did not scare people!
It's just that what's supposed to come will always come. Since the other party has already found someone, they can only accept it.
When the door opened, soldiers with rifles filed in and stepped aside, and then their rifles were pointed at Shang Zhen and the others.
At this time, the loud-mouthed person outside appeared. He had a box cannon slung around his waist and stood in the middle with his hands on his waist.
His situation was like that of the ancient county magistrate appearing on stage, with the government officials holding down their positions on both sides.
Although Shang Zhen and the others were in the lobby of this inn now, how many people could fit in this lobby, the room was already packed to the brim.
It's just that although the room is very full, and now it's like a confrontation between two armies, the scene has calmed down.
The man originally planned to continue shouting, but when he saw the posture of Shang Zhen and the others, he shut up, just because although Shang Zhen and the others' clothes were torn, they couldn't stand up to Shang Zhen and the others, and they all carried so many weapons!
Naturally, Shang Zhen and the others also looked at the man opposite them. The man looked to be a captain in his mid-twenties, and his cap badge was very large, which was different from ordinary soldiers. Shang Zhen and the others guessed that this man should be It's the military police.
What do gendarmes do? Shang Zhen and the others had already dealt with the military police when they were in Xi'an.
The military police are equivalent to the police in the army and manage military discipline.
"Are the people from the front line so awesome? If you are such a monster, wouldn't Nanjing be in chaos long ago?" the captain said.
At this time, Shang Zhen took a step forward.
As soon as Shang Zhen stood forward, no one among them said a word. Even those who were about to answer the conversation, such as Mr. Wang and Qian Chuaner, all held their words in their stomachs.
This is the city of Nanjing. Although Shang Zhen and the others only found out after entering Nanjing that the Republic of China had moved its capital to Chongqing.
Shang Zhen had mixed feelings about this at that time.
The Republic of China is no different from the ancient dynasties. They were all beaten up by foreign devils and their capitals were moved.
He was even thinking about whether the Sixty-seventh Army, the Fifty-seventh Army, or other Chinese armies were fighting bloody battles on the front, what was the point? Can't you even protect your own capital? Will the capital eventually become a lost mountain?
Of course, this is just Shang Zhen's inner thought, he will never say it out loud, but the matter in front of him needs to be solved after all.
The reason why Shang Zhen decided to deal with the captain himself was because he knew that although this was no longer the capital, it was by no means a place for stragglers like them to act recklessly.
Don't look at the other party, only about ten people came in.
But can people like myself fight with others? That is absolutely impossible!
It's not a question of whether they can beat them or not. If they dare to knock down these ten people, then the other side may come with a hundred people. If they get anxious again, they are military police and directly engaged in military law with a machine gun, then they what to do?
Or, if people like them are arrested, directly held at gunpoint and sent to the front lines to serve as death squads, do they have any place to reason with them? It doesn’t make sense to begin with, so what else is there to say?
Shang Zhen knew very well that the people under his command, even though they were in the regular army, would never make big mistakes, but they would definitely make small mistakes.
The Northeastern Army itself is a force full of bandit spirit. As for Wang Lao Mao Qian Chuan'er, including Guan Tiedou and others who joined later, who doesn't have bandit spirit?
Now he heard that although the captain in front of him was dissatisfied with himself, he had become polite, so he didn't want to be disrespectful!
Therefore, those who understand current affairs are heroes. Shang Zhen did not try to play up some irrelevant things like Qian Chuan did before. Instead, he said: "Sir, we just want to take a rest, and we don't want to be evil.".
"Ha!" The officer laughed angrily when he saw Shang Zhen's appearance, "You are not acting like a monster, how can you persuade the shopkeeper to move?"
"Sir, this is not what we said. Isn't there a propaganda notice outside? Tell the people to evacuate Nanjing as soon as possible!" Shang Zheng replied again.
Now the Japanese army has basically captured the peripheral strongholds outside Nanjing.
Due to the influx of a large number of suburbanites and Chinese officers and soldiers setting up defenses, the entire city of Nanjing was already in panic.
And just after entering the city, Shang Zhen actually saw some notices asking people to evacuate Nanjing in time, and there was a big seal of the NJ Municipal Government stuck on it!
"Who are you from? Are you planning to stay in a hotel? But why don't I see that you are prepared to pay?" the captain asked, looking into Shang Zhen's eyes.
Only then did the two people get to the root of this issue.
Just because the captain and the shopkeeper are related?
The shopkeeper told him that a group of "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" had come and wanted to live and eat at his place for free, so the captain hurried over with his people.
"Pay for it, then we really don't have it now." Shang Zhen replied.
"You don't want to tell me that money doesn't cost your life, do you? You want to act rogue in front of me. I think you are seeking death!" The officer sneered.
