Xie Tian laughed and pushed the door open: "Brother Pang, you are really difficult to get along with. If you are rude in front of you, you will be scolded, and if you are polite, you will be scolded. Forget it. Anyway, I can't avoid being scolded. I still want to be myself. Bar."
Facing Xie Tian who was joking, Chu Yunfei suddenly stepped forward and stood at attention and saluted: "Commander Xie, Chu Yunfei has decided to lead the 358th Regiment to accept the reorganization of the People's Liberation Army. I hope Commander Xie can accept it."
Xie Tianmeng threw the tray in his hand onto the table next to him and laughed loudly. He took Chu Yunfei's hand with both hands and shook it vigorously. He did not hide his excitement at all: "Brother Yunfei, I have been waiting for your words for a long time. , you and I brothers join forces and the overall situation in northwest Shanxi can be decided."
Pang Yuan hurriedly picked up the teapot and cakes that had been knocked down by Xie Tian, and cursed: "This is a waste of money, this is food."
The square in front of the Yangqu County Government Office was decorated as a conference venue. A row of conference tables were arranged at the entrance of the County Government Office. The tables were covered with red cloth and placed with microphones. Tweeters and loudspeakers were set up on the upper floor of the County Government Office Gate behind them.
There was a mountain of banknotes piled up on one side of the conference table. Pang Yuan specially brought these from Qizhou in a truck, and he pulled two full trucks.
They captured the Qizhou Treasure Bank Bureau and seized countless military notes printed by the Japanese. These are still in circulation in many places and are now put to use.
If a scholar doesn't take action, it's fine. If he takes action, it will be a fatal blow.
Bad money chases good money, which is to use bad banknotes to disrupt the financial market, but now these coins that Pang Yuan has brought are genuine coins printed by the Little Devil Banknote Bureau.
Using unlimited printing of military coupons to disrupt the Japanese war zone economy and causing it to collapse in a short period of time is even more vicious than a bloody war.
Soldiers from the Second Infantry Regiment of the People's Liberation Army, the Armored Infantry Regiment, the First Column, the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Taiyuan Security Brigade of the Pacification Army sat on the ground holding guns in the square. Nearly 20,000 people were surrounded by darkness, which made people feel numb.
If there are more than 10,000 people, it will be boundless; if there are more than 100,000 people, it will extend from the earth to the sky.
Nearly 20,000 people gathered, and countless people in the county watched. The scene was breathtaking.
The soldiers also felt numb when they saw the piles of banknotes beside the conference table, not knowing what they were used for.
Xie Tian, Pang Yuan, Qin Fen, Wu Wenhua, Li Changshun, Ma Dong, Gao Cheng, Chu Yunfei, Bai Jiaoren and others humbly came out of the county office and took their seats behind the conference table one after another. Xie Tian and Pang Yuan naturally It's centered.
However, Xie Tian did not sit down. After he waited for everyone to sit down, he cleared his throat, picked up the microphone, looked at the overwhelming number of soldiers in front of him, and said loudly: "I have summoned everyone today to announce only one thing. The PLA Independent Division has accepted the promotion." The reorganization requirements of the 358th Regiment of the Sui Army and the Taiyuan Security Brigade of the Appeasement Army are to accept everyone into the independent division of the People's Liberation Army."
Cheers suddenly erupted in the square, but most of the cheers came from troops of the People's Liberation Army. The response from the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Taiyuan Security Brigade of the Appeasement Army was not enthusiastic.
The 358th Regiment has not had any unexpected incidents so far, but the Taiyuan Security Brigade of the Taiyuan Army has experienced several situations since its betrayal. At least one company of soldiers deserted and ran away, which made Bai Jiaoren feel embarrassed. Light.
Xie Tian waited for the cheers to die down and then said: "Brothers from the 358th Regiment and the Security Brigade of the Appeasement Army, I know that many of you are forced to serve as soldiers. It doesn't matter, now I will give you a chance to choose freely. I am willing. Those who stay and continue to fight the Japanese with the People's Liberation Army, sit still and don't move. Those who want to go home to serve their parents and visit their wives and children, stand up, come over and put your equipment on this side of the square, and then go over there to get your severance pay, one person per person Ten thousand military tickets, take the road, take the severance pay and find a way to go home."
The camp of the 358th Regiment and the Security Brigade exploded with a bang in the square.
Can you go home?
A severance package of RMB 10,000 per person?
If you give me so much money, won't you be able to make a fortune after returning home?
At this time, a company commander in the security brigade stood up and asked loudly: "Commander Xie, are you telling the truth?"
Xie Tian laughed and said, "I'm just spitting on you. If you want to leave, you can come up now and hand in your equipment and get your severance pay."
The security brigade company commander walked out of the team without hesitation, stepped forward, and said loudly: "My mother-in-law was already pregnant with Zaizai when I was arrested. It's been three years now. I want to see them every day. I don't want to do this." Now, I want to go home."
"I want to go home too."
"I want to go home."
"I miss my mother, I want to go home, and I want to go home without severance pay."
Countless people stood up from the team, and some cried.
Xie Tian looked at the soldiers pouring forward like a tide, took a breath and shouted into the microphone: "Everyone must be orderly, line up and come one by one. Soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, listen, you also count, don't want to follow Those who continue to fight the Japanese and want to go home can now stand up and hand in equipment with them and receive severance pay."
Chu Yunfei and Bai Jiaoren looked at Xie Tian who was shouting in surprise. They even dismissed their own team members. Did you make a mistake?
Seeing that most of the people who came to hand over equipment and receive severance pay were people from his own security brigade, Bai Jiaoren's face became darker and darker.
Xie Tian accepted his surrender, but it was not as he imagined. Sun Miao did not win him an official position in advance.
Xie Tian made it clear to him in front of him that he would be appointed as an official according to the number of people left in his team. This statement was completely different from what Sun Miao conveyed to him.
At first, Bai Jiaoren didn't quite understand what Xie Tian meant, but now he understands.
If you are free to stay and go, and you will be given severance pay, then how many people can I have left in this brigade?
I'm sure I won't be able to be a brigade commander, and I'm guessing I won't be able to be a regiment commander either.
Do you want me to be a battalion commander for Xie Baoqing?
Bai Jiaoren's security brigade is a standard configuration brigade with only two standard regiments. Counting the non-combat troops directly under the brigade, there are about 4,700 people in total, which is about the same as Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment.
Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment, with five battalions and one artillery battalion.
Even though Chu Yunfei's rank was one level lower than Bai Jiaoren's, in terms of strength, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment had a head start over Bai Jiaoren.
What's more, Chu Yunfei didn't look down on Bai Jiaoren from the bottom of his heart. When Xie Tian introduced him, Chu Yunfei just nodded at Bai Jiaoren without saluting or shaking hands. If he hadn't met here with Xie Tian, , Chu Yunfei would never mind directly putting a gun to Bai Jiaoren's head and shooting him.
At this time, a PLA soldier wearing a camouflage uniform came to the conference table and awkwardly saluted Xie Tian: "Commander, I want to go home."
Xie Tian looked at the warriors and didn't recognize them. The team expanded too fast during this period, and it was impossible for him to remember every warrior in a short period of time.
However, this was the first PLA soldier who wanted to receive severance pay and go home, so Xie Tian felt a little strange.
