The lieutenant company commander took two puffs of cigarette and looked at Xie Tian and asked: "Xie Baoqing should have caused great harm to Dagu Town, right?"
Xie Tian looked at the lieutenant company commander with a surprised look and asked, "Why did you say this, sir?"
The lieutenant company commander laughed and said: "A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. This Xie Baoqing is a bandit himself. How can he be called a bandit if he doesn't harm others?"
Xie Tian shook his head like a rattle: "It's not that I contradicted the commander in person, but Xie Baoqing is a very good man. Not only did he not harm the people of Dagu Town, he also took in hundreds of refugees who had fled from Henan. There were horses in the town. The second wife's son was captured and had no idea whether he would live or die for several years. The old lady was blinded by crying. Xie Baoqing brought some food to visit her every three days and pretended to be her son. There was also a tofu shop at the end of the town. Widow Sun, those second-rate men on the street always climbed on the wall of her house at night. As a result, Xie Baoqing hung her up and beat her up, and she never dared to go there again. There was also the shopkeeper Wang who opened the drug store, and he was blackmailed for three yuan. Dayang, it was Xie Baoqing who came to help him get it back. Xie Baoqing did a lot of good things like this. I'm afraid there won't be a good person like this in hundreds of years. He is simply the reincarnation of Guanyin Buddha, a real living Bodhisattva. There are many people in the town. I’ve already said that a memorial arch must be built specifically for Xie Baoqing. According to me, one memorial arch is not enough. At least ten or eight of them must be built to be worthy of Xie Baoqing’s high moral integrity and selflessness..."
Xie Tian's words made everyone dumbfounded. The lieutenant company commander stared at Xie Tian who was talking endlessly, and it took him a long time to say: "We are not talking about the same person, are we?"
Tang Haoer looked at Tiedan with a dark look and asked in a low voice: "Tiedan, was your godfather so shameless before?"
Tiedan Tou shook his head like a rattle: "I don't know this person."
The lieutenant company commander and Xie Tian couldn't talk anymore. He took the pliers, wrench and hammer from the car soldier and handed them to Xie Tian: "I've given them to you. We are here to help you Dagu Town eliminate harm to the people. gone."
"Removing harm for the people" is such a good word. The lieutenant company commander imagined several scenarios in his mind where he would say it in front of the people of Dagu Town, but now he has no confidence to say it.
Is this Xie Baoqing doing good things in Dagu Town? Why do I feel so unbelievable when I hear this?
This guy must have benefited from Xie Baoqing.
The lieutenant company commander closed the car door and suddenly remembered something. He rolled down the window and looked at Xie Tian and asked, "I heard that Xie Baoqing was recruiting troops in Dagu Town. How many troops does he have under his command now?"
Xie Tian grinned and said: "That's too much. There are hundreds of refugees alone. He even recruited seven or eight-year-old children to form a children's group."
The lieutenant company commander couldn't help laughing: "What kind of soldiers are refugees? What is a seven or eight-year-old kid doing here, wiping their butts? Haha, man, only those with guns in their hands are called soldiers. Look at that The few on the side are holding begging sticks in their hands, even if they are put in military uniforms, they will still beg for food."
For the sake of the ocean, the lieutenant company commander was too lazy to argue with Xie Tian. He turned to the car soldiers and ordered: "Drive to Dagu Town."
Commander Chu had an order. Dagu Town was a strategic location. Occupying Dagu Town could simultaneously suppress the Eighth Route Army Li Yunlong's troops and the Japs in Pingyuan County. Their mechanized infantry company was ordered to come to attack the front line, and there were two battalions of troops behind them. Troops followed.
Chu Yunfei didn't take Xie Baoqing, who was now entrenched in Dagu Town, seriously at all. In Chu Yunfei's eyes, Xie Baoqing was just a drowned dog.
Li Yunlong had taken out Heiyun Village, and Xie Baoqing's foundation had been lost. He fled to Dagu Town in a hurry, just to survive, and the big-picture recruitment of troops was just to gather the number of people to negotiate with those who wanted to annex him. Otherwise, he would go to Dagu Town. What did you do to win over so many refugees?
Xie Baoqing made a big noise, which just gave Chu Yunfei a reason to send troops to Dagu Town.
Protect the environment and the people, and suppress bandits!
Chu Yunfei can also use this to repay Baoqing for killing him.
They even dared to rob the supplies of our 358th regiment. How could we not beat up the drowned dog now?
What's more, they can use this to garrison troops in Dagu Town and put a nail in Li Yunlong's eye.
From now on, every move of Li Yunlong's department will not escape Chu Yunfei's eyes.
This was a wonderful move. Even Chu Yunfei admired himself for coming up with this wonderful move. Speaking of which, he had to thank Xie Baoqing for giving him this opportunity.
Chu Yunfei didn't know that two Japanese divisions were on their way to help northwest Shanxi, otherwise he would never have used two battalions to occupy Dagu Town.
By placing two battalions in Dagu Town and waiting for the two Japanese divisions to arrive, wouldn't these two battalions serve as doorkeepers for the Eighth Route Army?
Moreover, he is still a thankless doorkeeper. The Japanese will definitely eat these two battalions first, and then attack Ping'an County and the Eighth Route Army.
Despite countless calculations, Chu Yunfei still miscalculated two fatal moves.
One is that the Japanese and reinforcements from two divisions are on their way to help northwest Shanxi. The other is that Xie Baoqing today is no longer what he used to be.
Watching three trucks full of soldiers driving towards Dagu Town with dust raised, Xie Tian handed the tools in his hands to Wang Banshang who got out from under the car, looked at Tang Haoer and said: "We have to solve the immediate trouble first. Taiyuan only needs We can go another day.”
Tang Haoer hummed: "The present is important."
Xie Tian was also thankful that he had encountered it halfway. If he missed it, the consequences would be disastrous.
Only Wang Banshang sighed. Just now, he was hiding under the car and pretending to repair the car, but he was actually playing with the 38-gun he had hidden under the car. The bullets were loaded, and he had no chance to release them this time.
Li Changshun came over with a few beggars and spat at the back of the car: "What the hell, if the commander had just given the order, we would have killed his company and let that son of a bitch Let’s see if the begging stick can kill him.”
Xie Tian laughed and patted Li Changshun on the shoulder: "I'll give you a chance to beat that son of a bitch later, let's go back now."
Li Chang made a smooth move and led a few beggars to Dagu Town. As they moved, several more beggars and two load-carrying men emerged from hidden places on both sides of the dirt road. It was just the MP40s and identities they carried in their hands. Out of place.
Eleven people, including Xie Tian Tiedan Wang Banshang and Tang Hao'er, ten MP40s, five shell guns called submachine pistols, a Bastard hybrid, a 38 large cover, more than 20 Japanese-made sweet potato grenades, nearly This company of Jinsui troops, who were completely unprepared for the surprise attack, had a high chance of annihilating them all, but some casualties were inevitable.
Tang Haoer was still on the carriage, and Xie Tian didn't want to take the risk.
There are no worries when you are on the battlefield, but it is different when you are surrounded by the woman you love. When you are worried, you lose your spirit.
Three trucks rushed straight into the side streets of Dagu Town. Not even a dog could be seen on the streets.
The lieutenant company commander was depressed. He didn't expect the people in Dagu Town to welcome them, but at least they had to meet someone.
The truck stopped at the only intersection in Dagu Town. The lieutenant company commander got out of the car and looked at the empty streets on all sides. He ordered the soldiers who jumped out of the car: "Go and drive all the people over."
Come here, what you are saying is, are ordinary people animals in your eyes?
The soldiers dispersed in small groups. Their first target was the shops on both sides of the street. They knocked on the door and kicked the door open when there was no response after knocking twice. This was just one of the reasons why they drove them to the intersection. The main purpose was to look at the shops. If there is anything that can be taken, it is best to find it in the ocean.
There was a flurry of excitement, and in the blink of an eye, the doors of more than a dozen nearby shops were kicked open. The soldiers of the Shanxi-Sui Army rushed into the shops like bandits and rummaged around, stuffing everything they thought was valuable into their pockets. Even Ma Ji The pile of toilet paper on the grocery store shelf that had not been collected in time was divided up by these soldiers.
The Dexingzhai pastry shop was the most unlucky. Boss Guo and his two guys got up early and worked in the dark. All the pastries they made were snatched away by the soldiers. A plate of mung bean cake that fell to the ground was trampled into crumbs. Boss Guo was over 80 years old. The father was so angry that he wanted to butt heads with the soldiers. Fortunately, Boss Guo hugged him.
At this age, if he were pushed by these soldiers, he might not be able to get up.
Fortunately, no one was killed. Soldiers rushed to the crossroads and more than a dozen civilians came. They didn't have time to go to the tunnel or were reluctant to leave the goods in the shop and stayed to look after the goods.
Originally, they thought that the Jinsui Army was also a unit of the national army and would not harm the people, at least not too much.
In the end, they were still wrong. These soldiers were simply bandits.
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Xie Baoqing, a real bandit, this group of soldiers is the Bodhisattva, and these soldiers are the bandits.
Seeing the common people in front of him, the lieutenant company commander pushed away the cakes handed over by his trusted platoon deputy, stood on the car pedal and shouted to the common people with a smile on his face: "Folks, don't be afraid, we are the national army and we are here to protect you." Yours. Our regiment leader heard that the bandit Xie Baoqing had fled to your Dagu Town. Commander Chu was worried that Xie Baoqing would harm the village, so he specially sent us to destroy Xie Baoqing, eliminate harm for the people, and give you a bright future. Can any of you tell me now? Where are Xie Baoqing and his gang of bandits hiding? We will definitely be rewarded heavily when we catch him..."
The dozen or so common people who were arrested laughed, but no one dared to say a word under the threat of gunpoints. They only lowered their heads and gathered together to look at the Jinsui Army Company who was smearing powder on his face. Long, use actions to express silent protest.
At this time, with the sound of a whip, the crisp sound of horse hooves sounded in the street.
The lieutenant company commander looked in surprise at Xie Tian, who was slowly walking along the side street and inserting himself between him and the people, sitting on the carriage, and subconsciously asked: "Why are you back again?"
Xie Tian smiled at the lieutenant company commander: "The officers have come to Dagu Town. I am considered the landlord of Dagu Town. I respect the friendship of the landlord, so I should treat the officers warmly."
The lieutenant commander laughed and clasped his hands in his hands: "Brother, you are too polite. I didn't ask you your name just now. It's really rude."
Xie Tian was just about to answer, when...
