Chapter 520: Defection (I)

When Jiang Shiwei's news reached Tianjin, the Tianjin Executive Committee at this time could be described by the words "chaos and chaos", because now the crossing group was facing the most important event in this time and space, a large-scale defection in the army. 八?一?Chinese Net? ≥≠≈.≥8=1≤Z=≈.COM

Just yesterday afternoon, the Tianjin Executive Committee received a report from Beijing that the People's Army garrisons in Zhuozhou and Beijing had defected en masse with a total of 11 people, and at the same time, the defectors also took with them six Mauser Type 98 rifles and 315 bullets, only three people were arrested, the whereabouts of the remaining eight were not yet known, and the defected soldiers involved three regiments.

It turned out that just the night before, in the garrison in Beijing, there were three incidents of soldiers fleeing from the barracks with guns, but the barracks were very strict in the management of guns, although the defecting soldiers stole rifles from the company headquarters, but when they fled the camp, they were still seen by the sentries, and the defected soldiers could not hand over the documents for carrying guns out of the barracks, so they were stopped by the sentries, and the two sides even clashed with weapons, resulting in 2 sentries and 2 defecting soldiers being injured, but fortunately there was no major problem.

Zhang Zhengjie, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Linhui Commander stationed in Beijing, was also shocked when he received the news, because the People's Army had never defected before, so he hurriedly ordered the arrested defector soldiers to be imprisoned.

After dawn, when Zhang Zhengjie was about to interrogate the defected soldiers, he received a report that just last night, there were still six soldiers who asked for leave to go out and did not return overnight, and it seemed that they had also defected from the People's Army. Moreover, seven of the nine soldiers were former Boxer Boxers, so it was clear that this was an organized mass defection. In fact, these nine soldiers all made an appointment with Li Zhuangyong, and collectively fled from the People's Army yesterday, and they all planned to go out on leave and flee without returning, but three of them really wanted to steal their rifles, but instead of stealing the guns, they were arrested.

As a matter of fact, the People's Army has a clear rule that if you take a leave of absence, you must return to the barracks before 6 p.m., and if a soldier does not return home at night, he must immediately report it to the regimental headquarters, and the soldier will be severely punished, and the company headquarters to which the soldier belongs will also be openly criticized in the barracks.

However, due to the fear of being publicly criticized by some companies, and the fact that there are also a small number of soldiers who do not have a strong sense of discipline, believing that soldiers occasionally spend the night outside, as long as nothing happens, there is nothing to worry about, on the contrary, this is a little more relaxed in military discipline, and it is also conducive to winning the trust of soldiers and the management of the company, so the soldiers who do not return at night are not reported, but are dealt with within the company, and even deliberately concealed, such as when checking the door at night, the number of people in the company is not even, but deliberately looking for the toilet, Go to the infirmary and other excuses to hide.

Some local soldiers saw that they had time to drill, and they were somewhat fearless, and it was even better when the troops were stationed in Tianjin, after all, under the noses of the Executive Committee and the Military Commission, whether it was a company or a local soldier, they did not dare to mess around at will, and in Beijing it was far away from the emperor and the management was much looser, so although the situation of soldiers going out for the night was not a common phenomenon, it was definitely not an exception.

However, the soldiers who spent the night outside will rush back before the exercise in the morning, because the exercise is for all soldiers to participate, even if it is a sick number, but as long as they are not lying in bed and unable to move, they will come out, which cannot be hidden, but these six soldiers have not come back before the exercise, and this morning they knew that someone had stolen a gun and defected last night, so the company headquarters that had soldiers who had not returned overnight also knew that they could not hide, so they had to report to the regiment headquarters and report to the headquarters from the regiment headquarters.

At this time, Zhang Zhengjie should immediately report this matter to Tianjin or the Military Commission, after all, such a major matter must not be concealed, and as the temporary commander of the Beijing garrison, he must be responsible, but Zhang Zhengjie still has a trace of luck at this time, because after all, he still captured 3 defected soldiers, Zhang Zhengjie hopes to interrogate the defection of the other 6 soldiers from their mouths, and then arrest them back, and then report to Tianjin or the Military Commission, so that his own responsibility will be much smaller.

Zhang Zhengjie immediately ordered a comprehensive inventory of the garrison in Beijing, and at the same time interrogated the defecting soldiers. However, the three defected soldiers were very hard-mouthed and refused to speak no matter how they asked, and the KPA was hindered by military discipline and it was inconvenient to torture the soldiers, so there was no way to deal with them but to consume them like this.

At noon, a report came from Zhuozhou that Li Zhuangyong and Huang Huaping had defected on the way back to Zhuozhou with the team last night, and had also taken 315 ammunition from six rifles.

Li Zhuangyong and Huang Huaping fled from the troops, and they were shown when they were handed over at night, and Jiang Haidong, who let them go, also confessed, and the company commander Qian Guoyu immediately ordered someone to control Jiang Haidong, and sent people to chase after him overnight, but in the dark night, he didn't know that they fled from that direction, so he didn't catch up, Qian Guoyu had to report to Luo Yue in Zhuozhou, and led the whole army to rush back to Zhuozhou.

Luo Yue was also shocked when he heard the news of Li Zhuangyong and Huang Huaping's defections, of course, he didn't know that there was a larger-scale defection incident in Beijing, which was the first defection incident before the founding of the People's Army, and it was in his own camp. For a while, Luo Yue didn't know what to do. After all, more than half a year ago, he was only a platoon commander, managing less than 3o people, and now he has been promoted to battalion commander, and he can manage more than 8oo people at most, it can be said that Luo Yue's ability to command operations is improving with the battle, and his ability in other aspects is not up to the requirements of the battalion commander, after all, the battalion commander can be regarded as a middle-level officer, and he needs more than just the ability to fight. Therefore, when such an incident suddenly happened, Luo Yue didn't know what to do.

And other old departments of Luo Yue also gave him ideas, some suggested not to report to the above, just deal with it in the camp, no one would know if everyone didn't say it; some people suggested that they should tell Qin Zheng first and let Qin Zheng find a way to deal with it; and some people thought that it was not good to tell Qin Zheng directly, it was best to tell Zhou Weiying first, and let Zhou Weiying tell Qin Zheng.

At this moment, Qian Guoyu also came back with the troops, although he knew what the whole thing had happened, but there was also a Guan Jian figure Jiang Haidong who was arrested, if it wasn't for his insistence on letting Li Zhuangyong go, as long as he shouted, Li Zhuangyong might not be able to escape, so Luo Yue still decided to ask Jiang Haidong first.

Jiang Haidong was very frank about Luo Yue's questioning, saying that he let Li Zhuangyong go out of righteousness, but he was still willing to stay in the People's Army, and this time he let Li Zhuangyong go was indeed a violation of the discipline of the army, and he was willing to accept any punishment, and only hoped to stay in the People's Army to make meritorious service for the crime, even if he was a small soldier.

After listening to Jiang Haidong's speech, Luo Yue also made his own decision, although it is naturally okay to hide it, but it is difficult to hide such a major matter, once it is revealed, the consequences are quite serious, and the later it is reported, the more unfavorable it will be to himself; if he tells Qin Zheng first, maybe he will be implicated in Qin Zheng, so he must not drag Qin Zheng in, and he takes the initiative to report, even if he is punished, as long as Qin Zheng is still in his position, there will always be a chance to start over in the future. It should be said that after more than half a year of hard training, although Luo Yue is still lacking in ability, he has indeed matured a lot, and his vision of things is much broader.

So Luo Yue immediately reported to Zhang Zhengjie, the head of the regiment in Beijing, that there was a defection incident on his side, and he also learned that last night, there was a major incident of 9 defections in Beijing. After understanding this situation, Luo Yue was even more relieved, because it was not that someone had defected here, so the responsibility would be shared, and the responsibility he would have to bear would be much smaller.

After receiving Luo Yue's report, Zhang Zhengjie still has not reported to Tianjin or the Military Commission, because the report results obtained from Luo Yue show that Zhang Zhengjie can basically string together this defection incident, and Li Zhuangyong is likely to be the mastermind of this defection incident. So Zhang Zhengjie immediately interrogated the three arrested people.

In fact, the interrogation of the three people has not been stopped, although the three people cannot be executed, but Zhang Zhengjie still has a little skill in the interrogation, and decided to use the wheel fatigue tactic to prevent the three people from resting, and as a result, the interrogation for 7 or 8 hours has been uninterrupted, which has made the three people physically and mentally exhausted, plus Zhang Zhengjie said again, "Li Zhuangyong is the mastermind, he has run away, what do you still carry for him", The psychological defense line of the three people finally collapsed, and they explained the whole incident, not only saying that there were two other people who were stationed in Huailai with the army and did not be notified, but also saying that the agreed meeting place was in a land temple on the outskirts of Beijing.

After getting the results he needed, Zhang Zhengjie immediately launched an operation, while informing the garrison stationed in Huailai, immediately controlling the two Li Zhuangyong's comrades, and immediately mobilizing the army and rushing to the place where Li Zhuangyong and others gathered to arrest people.

It's just that when the army arrived at the Land Temple, the temple was empty, and only a few pictures were painted in white powder on the gate, and the symbols were not like symbols. It turned out that Li Zhuangyong also took into account that if someone did not escape, but was caught by the People's Army and confessed the place of gathering, the People's Army would definitely send troops to arrest him.

No one was caught, and the troops sent had to return empty-handed, and Zhang Zhengjie had no other way at this time, so he had to report to the Military Commission, and it was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
