Chapter 53: People Abandon Me and Take It (Ask for Collection)
The sunset hangs on the mountain, and the colorful glow reflects half the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The war horses neighed under the Suxian Ridge in the east of Chenzhou City, the voices of the people were boiling, there were sporadic gunshots from time to time in the mountains in the north direction, the rude scolding and shouting of the rear guard troops of the Fourth Army were endless, the more than a dozen marching cauldrons erected on the platform were steaming, and there were even a few people on the side who took out the second child to pee on the ground, and the patrols on both sides along the north-south direction of the railway extension appeared from time to time from time to time, at a glance, it was chaotic and chaotic.
Zheng Yi, who hung the German Navy version of the telescope, stood in the heavily guarded barracks, looking at the chaotic platform from a distance, constantly shaking his head, and behind him were neatly lined up 54 well-covered American trucks, and more than 200 young drivers with half a bucket of water were maintaining their vehicles to refuel after passing the test of the rugged mountain roads on the Hunan and Guangdong borders, and finally had a proud smile on their faces.
The three garrison companies under Zheng Yi's command are armed to the teeth, and they are now taking over the entire camp with a bang.
"Report, two commanders of the Fourth Army Reserve Regiment have requested a meeting with our top commander." Li Lianshan, the commander of the first company, who had been promoted to lieutenant, came to report.
Zheng Yi looked at the entrance of the barracks suspiciously, thought about it and walked over, and ordered the star officer to raise the crossbar from a distance, came to the two Cantonese army officers and saluted, and asked in a friendly manner in proficient Cantonese: "My name is Zheng Yi, what do you two command?" β
The short commander of the Yue Army immediately smiled: "My name is Li Weihao, the lieutenant colonel of the Fourth Army Reserve Regiment, this is my regimental deputy Xie Youguang, I have seen Brother Zheng in Guangzhou before, haha!" β
"That's fate...... Ha ha! The two of you should not dislike it, go in and sit together, drink a cup of tea and talk slowly. Zheng Yi politely extended an invitation.
Commander Li waved his hand: "Next time, there is no time this time, our regiment received an order from the military representative office at the station, and rushed to Changsha by train that arrived in two hours, but there are still more than 500 prisoners in the southern military camp where we are stationed, and we can't take them away, and I don't dare to let them go, I don't know how to deal with them, I thought that the brothers of the first army would soon follow, but I didn't think that I haven't seen a shadow now, which makes me in a dilemma!" β
"It's really annoying, we've been stationed here for six days, and all the captives have been sent over, more and more, and they can't understand each other's words, chickens and ducks talk about tired people, and they have to cook for them every day, so that they don't starve to death, so that now we don't have rice to cook, lose that mother, sometimes Lao Tzu really wants to kill it."
Deputy Xie Tuan, who had dark skin and a scruffy beard, complained loudly, estimating that he had been annoyed by the prisoners who kept sending in the past few days.
Zheng Yi wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, considering that the two divisions of the First Army could only arrive the day after tomorrow, and there was still an engineer company stationed in the battalion, it should not be a problem to guard a few hundred prisoners, so he readily agreed to help: "In this case, let's send it over, we have to rest for a day tomorrow, and we can take care of it temporarily." β
The two commanders of the Fourth Army were as happy as if they had thrown away a hot potato, and they were not respectful of the military salute, so they directly hugged their fists and thanked them, and happily rushed to the temporary military camp in the south to escort the prisoners over.
Li Lianshan said worriedly: "Big brother, we have to be responsible for the safety of the entire camp, and we also have to help the transport team to assist in the defense, the troops are insufficient!" β
Zheng Yi already had an idea: "It's okay, the brothers will work hard tonight, and let the brothers from the communication platoon assist in the cooking classes of each company, and if there is not enough manpower, we will be transferred from each company to cook meals for 600 more people, and we will solve this problem early tomorrow morning." β
"Yes......"
Li Lianshan didn't know what Zheng Yi was thinking, but he would carry it out to the letter.
In less than half an hour, the two commanders of the Fourth Army led a company of brothers to escort more than 500 prisoners over, and after the handover, they thanked Zheng Yi gratefully, and then rushed to the platform with their brothers to gather food and wait for the upcoming train.
The five hundred and forty-seven ragged captives trembled at the sight of the well-armed revolutionary officers and soldiers all around, exchanging words and speculating among themselves, each of whom was secretly worried about his fate.
Zheng Yi had been carefully observing the periphery, and when he saw that the captives were slowly becoming agitated, he immediately called Qu Biao, the commander of the second company with five big and three thick, and Duan Jichang, the commander of the third company with high skills, pointed to the leaders of the captives for a while, and then strode to the front of the captives and ordered loudly: "Brothers, listen, stand up-"
The captives subconsciously dispersed, stood upright, and looked at Zheng Yi in front of them in horror, and one of the captives cried out at an inopportune time: "That person is speaking official words!" Which part? β
Zheng Yi immediately blackened his face: "Second company commander!" β
"Here!"
Qu Biao, who was tall and muscular, replied loudly, the two Colt pistols at his waist and the flower machine gun on his back looked much smaller on him.
Zheng Yi pointed to the tall and thin man among the captives: "Go, drag that grandson out and slap his mouth." β
Qu Biao shouted "obey", strode into the middle of the frightened captives, and soon dragged the unlucky captives who tried to hide in front of the crowd, raised his big hand and slapped him three times in a row, hitting the unlucky captive with blood all over his mouth and fainting on the spot.
Zheng Yi motioned for Qu Biao to stop, looked at the silent captive, and said loudly: "Brothers, although you are prisoners, in my eyes you are also a soldier, and a soldier should have the appearance of a soldier, and you must strictly abide by military discipline and prohibit it!" β
"Now I tell you, don't panic, don't speculate, don't try to escape, as long as you obey the command and don't violate military regulations and discipline, no one will embarrass you, otherwise military law will not be spared!"
"At this time, my brother is cooking for you, and you will eat whatever we eat, and the reason why you are treated favorably is because you are all soldiers like us, although you have different positions for your own lordship......"
"Okay, now you all line up according to your respective company number, and then receive the meals in order, it is the officer who stands up and talks to me, if you have any requirements, you can meet them and I will try my best to meet them."
The captives were stunned after listening to Zheng Yi's official words, and they were stunned for a long time before they began to find people to line up according to the requirements, and it took more than 20 minutes to barely complete, but they were divided into two distinct queues, and none of the captured officers took the initiative to find Zheng Yi from beginning to end.
Zheng Yi had no choice but to wave his hand, Qu Biao and Duan Jichang immediately walked to the queue on both sides, pointed to the leading captives one by one and ordered loudly: "You, you, and you, get out of the queue!" β
Some of the nine captives who were pointed out gritted their teeth and strode out of the ranks, some dodged and were frightened, and some hesitated to look around, but finally they couldn't stand up to the increasing psychological pressure and stood up, and were soon brought to Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi explained kindly: "Don't panic, I didn't find you to embarrass you, but I hope you will go back and tell your brothers, obey the command to receive the food, wash the dishes and send them back after eating, and then help us set up the tent and rest well, and if the injured brothers want, our hygienists can help to take a look." β
"The day after tomorrow we will be pulled, before we leave, we will hand you over to the upcoming Political Department of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, whether to leave or stay, the brothers of the Political Department will tell you when the time comes...... Alright, let's get back to the team. β
The nine captives looked at each other, all with incredible expressions on their faces.
One of them, a short, stocky man over thirty years old, stepped forward: "Sir, can you tell us which part you are from?" β
Zheng Yi replied briskly: "We are directly under the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army, my name is Zheng Yi, with the rank of colonel, I don't want to wronged you, right?" β
"No, no! We thank the chief that it is too late, and please rest assured that the lowly and brethren will obey the command. The stocky man made a statement.
Zheng Yi smiled: "You are from Xiaogan, right?" A subordinate of Li Zhuozhang of the Hunan and Hubei border guards? β
The stocky man was taken aback: "Sir, how do you know?" β
Zheng Yi smiled: "I'm from Hankou, I can hear your accent, I can count myself as half a fellow...... As far as I know, in addition to a division of Zhao Hengti's Hunan Army and several local militia groups stationed in Chenzhou, there is only one brigade of Li Zhuozhang left. β
The stocky man immediately took half a step back, stood up straight and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, lowly Teng Yichun, the captain and battalion deputy of the new Second Brigade of the Hunan and Hubei Border Army, I didn't dare to tell the commander before, please punish the commander." β
Zheng Yi laughed: "Why should I punish you?" If you're interested, we'll have a good chat after dinner, I haven't been home for more than two years. Brothers, go back to your brethren, eat first, and after you will be disciplined and then pitch your tents together. β
The nine captured officers saluted unevenly and silently returned to their respective brothers, and Zheng Yi relieved himself to take Cao Mancheng to begin to inspect the sentry and communicate with the remaining engineering companies of the Cantonese army.
On the way to the camp gate, Cao Mancheng, who was full of admiration, asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you want to select some soldiers from among the captives?" β
Zheng Yi looked at Cao Mancheng in surprise: "That's right, all the brothers, only you, Lao Cao, can see my thoughts, you really should be my adjutant." β
"No, no! Now we have two new Siemens radios and two repaired Bell radios, which basically meet the training needs of the communications platoon, and the communications platoon commanders Chen Lizhi and Zhang Yao need to set up radio stations and lay telephone lines everywhere they go, and the 22 brothers are all novices who have just studied for a month, and I have to keep an eye on them all the time. β
Cao Mancheng is still so real.
Zheng Yi thought of Duan Xuan and others, who were studying in the fourth phase of the military academy, and no longer asked Cao Mancheng to come to his side, but still told him his thoughts on dealing with prisoners:
"The next battlefield of our army is Lianghu and Jiangxi Province, we need to take this opportunity to absorb some soldiers from Lianghu and Jiangxi Province, before departure, Chief Yu promised me that I would go to Changsha to make up for my regiment, so I am not a violation of discipline, not to mention that recruiting soldiers from prisoners can save training time, just strengthen political education."
Cao Mancheng nodded, hesitated for a long time and stopped: "Boss, our First Army has driven out many Communist Party members, I'm a little worried!" β
Zheng Yi smiled: "What are you worried about? Worry about me or worry about the old brothers who are biased towards the Communist Party? β
Cao Mancheng hurriedly explained: "I'm worried about you...... It's not easy for you to get to where you are today! I come from a poor class, and although I have attended a private school for a few years, I often can't open the pot at home, and there are many brothers, so my life is very difficult, otherwise I wouldn't have come out to serve in the army......"
"It is estimated that it is precisely because of this, after listening to your lecture, I gradually have a good impression of the Communist Party in my heart, and I feel that they are the party of the poor, especially when I followed you to the headquarters to help, the surrounding generals and colonels are too luxurious, and I have seen a lot of corruption and corruption, and I am very emotional!"
Zheng Yi patted Cao Mancheng on the shoulder: "Don't say these words to outsiders, put them in your heart first." β
Cao Mancheng nodded heavily: "Understood, boss, you can rest assured, no matter where you go in the future, I am willing to follow you." β
