The puppet military camp where Xu San was located was where the Ping'an County Guard Corps had surrendered. More than 300 people seemed to have surrendered without even firing a gun.
I don’t know the specific details, because at that time he was still immersed in the pain of losing his father. When he came back to his senses, Ping An City had changed the king’s flag overnight!
After Ping An changed hands, the officials were still the same officials and the people were still the same people.
What has changed is that officials have become puppets.
Those with connections left, and those without connections had no choice but to stay in Ping An City to earn a living.
It used to be that they were just being exploited by officials and were getting along fine. But now they are being bullied by Japanese soldiers, making Ping'an City even more dehumanizing. But the people of Ping An City are still living strong, because this is the place where I was born and raised.
He Yong asked Xu San to sit on the sofa, and then asked the guard to get him a cup of tea, and then started chatting with Xu San about home affairs.
Both of them were chatting absentmindedly, from food to fireworks alley, chatting until Xu San felt sleepy, but the one in front of him was always on the top, so he had no choice but to accompany him and continue talking. I believe it won't take long. Let’s get to the point.
"Xiao Xu, are you still a private now?" After some small talk, He Yong finally brought the question back to the subject, and Xu San was probably about to get to the point.
"Yes!" Xu San replied.
"I checked your file. You have been a soldier for almost two years. Are you interested in doing something now?"
"Sir, no, it's my honor to serve as your soldier!" Xu San knew that He Yong wanted to promote him, but he still made a mistake.
"I'm not trying to transfer you, I'm asking if you are interested in moving your military rank. If so, I can arrange it." He Yong said.
It finally came, but this unprovoked promotion made Xu San feel that it was unusual. He mentioned Yamamoto just now. Could it be that this matter was caused by Yamamoto again?
Will the constant benefits eat away at his heart?
"Sir, I'm doing very well now. Captain Sun is taking care of me. I'm very satisfied!"
He Yong smiled and tapped Xu San with his hand, "You are so shrewd, kid. Don't I know that you are the emperor of your team? Even your captain will listen to you."
Xu San smiled naively, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from Commander He, but I don't get reward for my merits. Commander He won't promote me for no reason. I haven't made any achievements in our camp."
"I used to have a relapse of the old injury of the Secretary General, and now I'm back home to recuperate. I wonder if you are interested in taking over this position?" He Yong offered the chips before he made any request.
Good guy, this officer was promoted to the position of Chief of Staff in no time. This is a platoon level, and he is also a super fat man. This traitorous battalion commander has spent a lot of money this time, but this Chief of Staff is an office director, and he is in charge of everything. Although the matter of mother-in-law and mother was safe, it was a bit irrelevant to his follow-up plan.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied with this position? And the chief of staff is a civilian. If you have nothing to do, you can go home and see your friends..." He Yong said and began to wink at Xu San. After all, we are all men. You know the look.
What should I watch when I get home?
A few more, but you are not afraid of my kidney failure.
Seeing Xu San's delay in replying, He Yong was a little unhappy, "What, not satisfied?"
"Sir, does your promotion of me like this have anything to do with Yamamoto Daizuo? Can you tell me the truth so that I can know what I want so that I can be sure whether to accept it? You also know that Taijun is difficult to serve. If I hadn't learned some Japanese in the early years, I probably wouldn't have been able to achieve this level of relationship, right?"
After listening to Xu San's words, He Yong also gave the real details and revealed his real intention of promoting Xu San: "It is indeed related to Yamamoto Daizuo. In a few days, Yamamoto Daizuo and Kamiya Daizuo will exchange defense, that is to say Our battalion is directly under the command of Yamamoto Daizuo. I am thinking that since Yamamoto Daizuo can send you a car, he must be optimistic about you, so you will be responsible for the reception and delivery in the future, so as to facilitate the docking. "
Such is the relationship, Yamamoto will be stationed in Heian City, this is an important piece of information.
It’s just that he has just been disabled, and there are less than 200 people left in his special forces team. Most of these people are still second-line troops. Can this small number of troops be stationed in Ping An City?
Although Ping'an City is not a big city, it is still an important transportation area. If the whole body is involved, these 200 people are really not enough to squeeze through.
Don't look at these 200-odd people who are good at sneak attacks, but if they are attacking fortresses, they are scum.
That old boy Shinozuka will definitely replenish his troops. If the replenishment is completed, then Yamamoto may really deserve his title as captain of the company.
Yamamoto has a sinister character, and this information must be sent out as soon as possible so that the Eighth Route Army can make relevant preparations.
"According to my understanding, Yamamoto Daizuo doesn't like our officialdom."
"Then what do you like? Send money directly?"
Xu San disdainfully said, "Who doesn't like money? Let me tell you something, this is confidential!"
Hearing the word "confidential", He Yong immediately perked up and opened the door: "Guard!"
"arrive!"
"No one is allowed near my office without my permission."
"yes!"
"Yamamoto Daizuo has a secret force called a special force. One can fight ten. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Xu San said mysteriously.
"Secret army?" He Yong heard the word and fell into silence for a moment. After a while, he whispered: "You said it's a private army?"
OK!
Commander He, you really have a rich imagination.
It's true that the little Japanese were the invaders. They were organized and disciplined troops. How could there be such a thing as a private army?
I think you have not completely eliminated the feudal ideology, and this ideological education work must continue.
Xu San gave a thumbs up, "High, it's really high! Sir He, you really think about it, how could Daizuo Yamamoto train private soldiers? The so-called secret troops are also prepared at the military headquarters! They are specialized in performing special tasks. , it’s just that very few people in this unit know about it, I guess even Kamiya Dazuo doesn’t know about it.”
He Yong thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He had indeed just made a wild guess.
But why did Xu San mention this? He Yong was confused.
"What do you mean?"
"You can arrange a platoon leader for me and bring together the elites of our battalion. At that time, I will find Yamamoto Dazuo and ask him to provide an instructor, and then our platoon will specifically cooperate with his special forces team to perform special tasks. .”
"This... is a bit inappropriate." He Yong immediately rejected the proposal as soon as he heard it. Just kidding, I can't even get fifty of them in this battalion, so I'll give them all to you, and then I'll be cannon fodder for Yamamoto. , if they all died, I would go there and cry.
"That's what I said. Don't worry about it, battalion commander. If you really do this, we will lose our battalion's flesh and blood, and then we won't have any capital to negotiate with others in the future."
He Yong nodded and looked at Xu San. He felt that this boy had some skills. Although he was just a small soldier, his vision was really not simple. How about giving him a counselor and letting him make suggestions by his side.
Although he thought so, he didn't say that as a battalion commander, a city mansion is still necessary.
"Then how do you think we should cooperate with Yamamoto Daizuo's work?" He Yong asked.
"You don't know how capable our battalion is. To put it bluntly, we are just cannon fodder! We will only do some work of catching young men and building gun towers. If there is a war, we will just send them up to consume ammunition."
Xu San's words were like a basin of cold water poured on He Yong's head, allowing him to fully recognize the reality.
"But this prince suddenly changed his defense, which made me feel unsure!" At this time, He Yong also revealed his little thoughts.
"Battal Commander, you are worrying too much. Just do what you have to do. The new officer Yamamoto Ozuo has taken office three times and can't burn our heads. He has more important things to do now."
He Yong has always been a surrendered general. The cards in his hand are about four hundred puppet troops. He is afraid that the Japanese will use the excuse of mobilizing troops to ignore him. After hearing what Xu San said, he felt a little unsure.
"It's spring, and Taijun is attacking the Eighth Route Army and building artillery towers again. So should we do something?" He Yong continued to ask.
"If you want to do something, then strengthen training, um... I think about it, um... just strengthen physical training. When escaping, you can keep the formation neat, fast and not chaotic. To When the time comes, pull all those who don’t have construction tasks out to run in queue. It’s best to run faster than Taijun! Wang Hai in our camp is better at this, and we can arrange for him to take charge when the time comes.”
What Xu San said at first sounded like that, but what he said next made He Yong feel wrong. He couldn't understand and asked: "What do you mean, we train to escape?"
"Hey," Xu San sighed, "My battalion commander, don't you understand? Since you asked me, I have to make it clear to you. Who made us fellow villagers?"
After taking a sip of water, Xu San continued, "If you want to save your life, you have to run fast! The so-called training is all based on saving your life. Why did Taijun hit the duck dock? It was a test. The Eighth Route Army hit the Central Army to put pressure on them and force them to do so." They surrendered. It would be better if the Zhongyang Army surrendered. Otherwise, forget it, the situation is too complicated and I won’t be able to explain it for a while. You just need to remember that no matter what you do in the future, it is the premise of saving your life, and then stay calm. Come on, don’t mess with anyone, even the common people, we have to be careful and don’t accidentally mutiny, it will be difficult for Taijun to deal with us.”
With this rare opportunity, Xu San began to instill life-saving thoughts into the traitor battalion commander, hoping that this would reduce some pressure on the Eighth Route Army.
He Yong shook his head. Xu San's words made him very uncomfortable. If he didn't listen to what he said, he really wanted to go up and kick him, and then punish him for disturbing the morale of the army.
But He Yong is not that kind of upright soldier, and the advice Xu San gave him was just to his liking: "Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. After today's conversation, we know that Xu San brothers have great talents. Ambition.”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu San revealed the official position he wanted: "Batalion Commander, if you really want to bring some benefits to our camp, please arrange for me to be in the position of military supplies."
"Quartermaster? This...it's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you. It's just that the official position of Quartermaster belongs to our battalion, but the deputy position is assigned by the brigade to monitor."
"As long as we are not greedy for ink, what can the brigade do to me if I am sent here?" Xu San wanted this quartermaster to not only be greedy for the rags of his puppet army, but also to prepare for the big tofu behind him.
He Yong didn't believe his ears because he was not involved in military supplies. "Then why does brother have to get this position?"
"Didn't Taijun change our clothes in order to control us? After I became a military supplier, I became acquainted with Yamamoto Dazuo..."
He Yong was still waiting for Xu San with a confused look on his face.
You are so damn stupid. You still don’t understand after all I have said. No wonder we surrendered without firing a shot.
"My battalion commander, don't you understand? Do you really want me to explain everything clearly? In the name of training, it's a false report! The extra money is our battalion's capital! Why did I say training and running queues in the first place? If we go to a place where no one is around, no one will know what we do."
He Yong finally understood what Xu San meant.
This is not greedy at all, it is extremely greedy!
With this operation, what was originally a small greed turned into a big one, what was originally personal interests turned into collective interests.
High, really high!
