Xie Tian boasted for a long time, and then said: "The first way is done, which is to follow me and fight the Japanese. Now let's talk about the second way, and the second way is that I let you go. You can go wherever you like, except to join the Japanese."
There was a commotion among the soldiers, and it seemed that their lives were saved.
As a result, Xie Tian suddenly changed the topic: "But next time, don't let me meet you on the battlefield. If you meet me on the battlefield, you will be my enemy. I will never show mercy to my enemy."
After finishing speaking, Xie Tian stretched out his hand and drew an invisible line straight up and down in front of him: "Now those who are willing to follow me to fight against Little Japan stand here, and you will be my life and death brothers from now on. Those who are not willing to follow me to fight against Little Japan stand here Come here, let's go to each side of the road. You can discuss it with the people around you, but I don't have the patience to wait for you for too long. I will give you five minutes now to choose your side. "
After saying that, Xie Tian walked aside with his hands behind his back to look at the newly captured heavy machine gun.
The Japanese Type 38 heavy machine gun imitated by Yan Laoxi was widely used in the Shanxi-Sui Army troops during the Anti-Japanese War. Although this gun is not very good, it is quite famous.
Xie Tian had long admired the name of this gun, and now that he saw it, he naturally couldn't help but play with it himself.
At this time, Wu Wenhua stepped forward and stood where Xie Tian had just stood and said loudly: "Brothers from the third and fifth battalions, I am Wu Wenhua. I have now officially revolted and joined Commander Xie's team. The brothers are willing to work with me. Just stand here. What are we soldiers for? Aren’t we soldiers just to protect our homes and our country? Now that the little devils have come to our home, can we still tolerate it? Commander Xie also said just now, fight He is so stupid, and for no other reason than to protect your father and mother from being bullied by the little devils..."
There was a commotion among the Jinsui Army in the audience. Wu Wenhua actually revolted and joined Xie Baoqing's team?
Some people have begun to stand up and move, most of them are soldiers of Wu Wenhua of the fifth battalion.
Although these soldiers followed Wu Wenhua and suffered defeats all the way, they admired Wu Wenhua from the bottom of their hearts.
They were all defeats, but Wu Wenhua also showed some Chinese character, which at least made the little devil's victory less comfortable.
If someone moves, those who are still waiting will have to make a choice immediately.
Because Xie Baoqing said that he didn't have the patience to wait for them to discuss slowly, so he only gave them five minutes.
You have to make a choice within five minutes, either follow Xie Baoqing or stand on the other side.
Some soldiers with their own agenda began to stand on the other side. Some of them were captured by strong men and wanted to take the opportunity to leave the Jinsui Army and go home, but they were not sure whether this was considered a deserter.
Some people think that the Jinsui Army is the order of battle of the national army and is orthodox.
Others are simply greedy for life and fear of death. It would be great to follow the Jinsui Army. As soon as the Japanese come, we will retreat. At least we have more chances to save our lives than those in other armies.
Wu Wenhua was still giving a speech, but his face was no longer so pretty.
The more than a thousand people in the square have been clearly divided into two camps. One group is those who are preparing to join Xie Tian's People's Liberation Army to fight the Japanese. There are only two to three hundred people. The other group is those who are waiting to be demobilized. There are as many as seven or eight hundred people. people.
Wu Wenhua was mobilizing verbally and trying to attract a few more people. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the Shanxi-Sui Army on the side of the seven or eight hundred people. At least three or four hundred people suddenly crossed the center line and swarmed in, preparing to stay and join the People's Liberation Army. come from this team.
Wu Wenhua was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that I didn't seem to say anything. Why did so many people suddenly change their minds?
As a result, Wu Wenhua looked around and saw Xie Tian holding the handle of the Jin-made Type 38 heavy machine gun. A soldier was clumsily attaching a canvas cartridge belt to the heavy machine gun, and the muzzle of Xie Tian's heavy machine gun was right in front of him. It was against those Jinsui troops who were unwilling to stay and fight the Japanese with him...
Wu Wenhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was said that Xie Baoqing was moody and killed people without blinking an eye. But is it really good for you to recruit troops with heavy machine guns like this?
What's the difference between this and La Zhuangding?
At dawn, Yu Biao left Dagu Town dejectedly with only two to three hundred people left, and many people took the opportunity to become deserters.
Yu Biao felt like a refugee.
No, worse than refugees.
The refugees still had a dog-beating stick in their hands, but they were now empty-handed.
They arrived in a majestic manner, with two reinforced battalions of troops, well-equipped, and strong soldiers and horses.
When we returned, these were the only ones left, each looking downcast and hapless.
The key is that the soldiers and horses of the two battalions were disarmed without firing a shot.
Until now, Yu Biao still hasn't figured out how Xie Baoqing and his men entered every barracks and confiscated all the soldiers' weapons.
Chu Yunfei didn’t believe it when he reported it to Mr. Chu this time.
Fortunately, Wu Wenhua defected with several battalions of troops, so he had an explanation in front of Chu Yunfei. At least he did not defect and brought back some of his troops.
But he still had a letter written by Xie Baoqing to Chu Yunfei in his pocket. He couldn't be sure what the letter said, and he didn't dare to open it privately.
This forced him not to dare to cover up the situation when reporting to Chu Yunfei, and put all the blame on Wu Wenhua, who had defected.
What did Xie Baoqing write in his letter to Chu Yunfei?
This problem tortured Yu Biao all the way.
At dusk, Yu Biao led the remaining troops back to Madian, where the 358th Regiment was stationed.
Chu Yunfei stood on the steps of the Regiment Headquarters Divine Gun Temple with a gloomy expression, staring coldly at Yu Biao who broke away from the team and trotted over.
He had already received a phone call from the outpost reporting that Wu Wenhua had defected and Yu Biao had returned with his remaining troops. At the regiment headquarters, he smashed the phone and overturned the table.
The only thing Chu Yunfei wants to do now is to gather the remaining battalions and rush to Dagu Town, command the artillery battalion to wipe Dagu Town off the map, trample Xie Baoqing on horseback, and kill Wu Wenhua with his own hands.
Seeing Yu Biao running over, Fang Ligong, the chief of staff beside Chu Yunfei, hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Commander, suppress your anger. You must suppress your anger."
Chu Yunfei snorted, but the hand holding the gun holster on his waist did not move at all.
Yu Biao was already sweating profusely when he ran up to him, but he did not dare to get too close to Chu Yunfei. He stopped four or five meters away and stood at attention, saluted, and said tremblingly: "Commander, I'm back."
Chu Yunfei held his hand on the holster without moving, stared at Yu Biao with a face as deep as the bottom of a pot, and shouted: "Do you still have the nerve to come back?"
Fang Ligong patted Chu Yunfei's hand on the holster, looked at Yu Biao and said, "It's good to come back. Coming back will be better than never coming back."
After comforting Yu Biao, Fang Ligong lowered his voice, looked at Chu Yunfei and said in a low voice: "Tuan Zuo, come into the room and talk, don't let others see the joke."
Chu Yunfei glared at Yu Biao fiercely, snorted, turned around and walked into the Divine Spear Temple.
Fang Ligong deliberately lagged a few steps behind. When Yu Biao came up and reminded him in a low voice: "The leader is on fire, you have to think about how to report to the leader. Don't rub sand in the eyes of the leader, I advise you to tell the truth." Tell the truth, otherwise...you know Tuanzuo's temper."
Yu Biao thanked Fang Ligong in panic, having forgotten all the words he had thought about all the way.
At the regiment headquarters, Chu Yunfei stood in front of the sand table and ordered to the staff clerks, clerks, correspondents in the regiment headquarters: "You guys get out first."
Now everyone in the regiment headquarters knows that the 3rd and 5th Battalions suffered a big loss in Dagu Town. Wu Wenhua, the commander of the 5th Battalion, even led his troops to defect. Now they are all staying at the regiment headquarters, even if they fart, they have to hide it. The tight ass didn't dare to make any noise. When they heard Chu Yunfei ordering them to go out, the group of people all left in the blink of an eye, as if they had received an amnesty.
Chu Yunfei stared at Yu Biao who followed Fang Ligong with a dark face, and said fiercely: "Report truthfully. If you conceal a word, I will execute you on the spot immediately."
Yu Biao was sweating like rain, and he hurriedly started talking about Wang Quan's repeated setbacks. Sure enough, he didn't hide a word.
After Chu Yunfei listened carefully, he glared at Yu Biao and yelled: "You fart, don't you know that soldiers like Xie Baoqing are invisible, so they can sneak into your barracks without anyone noticing?"
"With over a thousand people, no one noticed it in advance?"
"You can all sleep like pigs, and you don't even know when someone puts a knife to your neck?"
Fang Ligong looked at Yu Biao and asked, "Did you drink last night?"
Yu Biao's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud: "I was wrong about the regiment. Yesterday, we marched all the way to Dagu Town. Dagu Town was deserted. The soldiers searched a few breweries in the town. Ten jars of wine, I felt that everyone had worked hard after walking all day, and there was no hostility, so I let them drink a little, and I also drank a little."
Fang Ligong turned to Chu Yunfei with a clear understanding and said, "That's right. This Xie Baoqing is a bandit and is best at evil. He must have deliberately kept these wines and added Mongolian sweat medicine to them." Battalion Commander Yu They fell into Xie Baoqing's trick and were knocked unconscious. There was also the Fifth Battalion. Although the Fifth Battalion was stationed at Gushan Temple, Xie Baoqing was very likely to have drugged him in a water tank or somewhere. I heard that in Jianghu There is also a kind of ecstasy incense that thieves are best at using. After lighting it, just smelling a little can make people fall asleep. This Xie Baoqing is a thief who can sneak in and pick locks, and he has the ability to fly over walls and walls. He must have taken advantage of the soldiers to sleep. I did something wrong when I did it.”
This explanation was so reasonable that even Chu Yunfei was convinced.
Yu Biao took the opportunity to take out a sealed envelope from his pocket, held it to Chu Yunfei with both hands, and said carefully: "Senate, Xie Baoqing also wrote you a letter and sent it back to your subordinates."
Chu Yunfei took the envelope from Yu Biao's hand and sneered: "When did you learn to be a messenger for Xie Baoqing? Get out of here, the last thing I see is a boneless thing like you."
Fang Ligong hurriedly reached out and pulled Yu Biao. He did not expect that Yu Biao would kneel down just now, otherwise he would definitely stop Yu Biao.
If you report the truth to Chu Yunfei in an upright manner, Chu Yunfei will still be furious but will definitely retaliate as appropriate. Your kneeling down will touch Chu Yunfei's bottom line.
A man can die standing, but he can never live an ignoble existence while kneeling.
