Chapter 51: Disguise

In the chaos of the army, several guards around Zhou Shibin were also killed by random shots, which made Zhou Shibin want to escape, but there was no one to cover him, and just struggled to get up, another bullet whistled behind him, hitting his left leg. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Shibin screamed miserably, fell to the ground, and was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd of security guards who swarmed.

There was no suspense in this battle, and under the interception of a company, the large group of Northwest Army troops that ran towards the first line of Tiankou in the direction of Pingyang suffered heavy losses, and then in a dilemma, they laid down their arms and surrendered on the spot.

In the end, less than 200 people escaped from the direction they came.

In this battle, Xu Guoren's security regiment annihilated more than 800 members of the 208th Regiment, of which more than 300 were killed and wounded, nearly 500 were taken prisoner, and 90 percent of its weapons and ammunition and all its baggage were captured.

Not long after the end of the battle, the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield found the wounded and captured Zhou Shibin, who originally wanted to be taken aside as an ordinary prisoner.

Zhou Shibin felt that this battle was aggrieved, so he didn't want to die, so he immediately took the initiative to identify himself and asked to see Xu Guoren.

The soldiers felt that the matter was very important and immediately rushed to report to Xu Guoren.

After getting the news, Xu Guoren immediately rushed over with Guo Shiyin, Niu Dagen and others.

Although he had heard of Xu Guoren for a long time, when he saw Xu Guoren himself, Zhou Shibin was still a little surprised, he didn't expect that Xu Guoren, who defeated him, was so young, and at the same time, it also made him even more ashamed, and even regretted taking the initiative to ask to see Xu Guoren.

"You are Zhou Shibin, do you want to see me?" Xu Guoren also looked at Zhou Shibin, who looked average, with a tuft of growing beard, and looked about thirty years old.

"Yes!" Zhou Shibin calmed down his mood and nodded: "I want to see what the person who defeated me looks like!" ”

"See you now?" Xu Guoren asked.

"I saw it, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will be ashamed!" As soon as Zhou Shibin's words fell, Xu Guoren directly pulled out his gun.

only heard a gunshot, which frightened Zhou Shibin on the spot, and the bullet whistled past his ears and hit the ground behind him.

For the first time, Zhou Shibin felt that death was so close to him, mainly because he was defenseless, and he had not encountered a rain of bullets on the battlefield before, but Xu Guoren, a guy who did not play cards according to common sense, did leave a lot of psychological shadows on him just now.

Xu Guoren blew the green smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and said lightly: "If it weren't for the fact that it was more valuable to capture you alive, you would have lost the opportunity to take revenge forever just now, because I never gave anyone who wanted to kill me any chance!" So, from now on, you'd better dispel this thought, so that you can live a little longer. ”

"Is it worth capturing me alive?" Zhou Shibin hadn't recovered from the horror just now, and muttered.

"Yes, just imagine, I, Xu Guoren, defeated the elite 208th Regiment of the Northwest Army in a battle, and captured its military commander, Zhou Shibin, a fierce general of the Northwest Army, isn't it very exciting news?" Xu Guoren said eloquently: "The reason why I am regarded as a rebel now is nothing more than that my worth is not high enough, and it is worth the risk of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the provincial government, and I will send you to encircle and suppress me by reversing right and wrong!" Therefore, I have to find a way to improve my reputation, in today's troubled times, only if the name is loud, can I get mixed up! ”

As soon as Zhou Shibin heard that Xu Guoren was going to use himself as a stepping stone to raise his prestige, he suddenly had the heart to die, and said horizontally: "Then you kill me, otherwise, one day, I will definitely kill you, and I will be ashamed today!" ”

"Haha, you can't die yet!" Xu Guoren laughed loudly and instructed Niu Dagen: "Dagen, go find Chen Lao, treat his injuries, and tell Chen Lao to treat him well, he can't die." ”

"Yes!" Niu Dagen suddenly agreed, turned around and left.

Xu Guoren also left with Guo Shiyin, and Zhou Shibin kept shouting and scolding, but was soon drowned out by the fists of the soldiers who were guarding him.

It didn't take long for the battlefield to be cleaned, and Guo Hu, Guo Danian and others came to Xu Guoren one by one.

"Commander, our results this time are simply too rich!" Guo Danian said excitedly.

Xu Guoren bowed slightly, after all, he defeated a B regiment, and it was expected that there would be a lot of loot, and the capture of this battle was enough to make up for the battle damage and consumption.

Guo Hu asked, "Commander, what should we do next?" ”

"Take off the uniforms of all the officers and soldiers in the northwest, and we will give a big gift to the Jin Sui army behind!" Xu Guoren groaned thoughtfully.

Although Guo Hu didn't know why, he still acted quickly according to the order.

Not long after, most of the officers and men of the security regiment changed into the uniforms of the Northwest Army.

The troops also tried their best to equip the captured Mauser pistols, light machine guns and other automatic and semi-automatic weapons in their hands, so that the overall firepower of the security regiment was greatly improved.

After the assembly was completed, Guo Hu came again to ask for instructions: "Regiment commander, the troops are assembled and can set off at any time." ”

"Don't worry, wait for the six sons." As early as the end of the battle, Xu Guoren ordered Guo Xiaoliu to take a cavalry reconnaissance squad to rush to the direction of Pingyang to reconnoiter the whereabouts of the two regiments of the Jin Sui Army.

Not long after, Guo Xiaoliu and a group of more than ten riders came from the front galloping.

Coming to Xu Guoren, Guo Xiaoliu immediately turned over and dismounted and saluted: "Commander, we are back." ”

"Well, what's the situation, have you found any traces of Jin Suijun?" Xu Guoren hurriedly asked.

"Found out, we also captured a Jin Sui Army scout!" As soon as Guo Xiaoliu waved his hand, two cavalry scouts escorted a Jin Suijun with his hands tied behind his back.

Guo Xiaoliu pointed to the Jin Suijun soldier and said, "There are two in total, one was killed by us and one was captured." ”

"Have you been interrogated?" Xu Guoren asked.

"Not yet, we withdrew after arresting someone, for fear of being discovered by the other party." Guo Xiaoliu said.

Xu Guoren turned to ask the Jin Suijun scout, and said: "I ask you to answer, answer truthfully, I will spare your life, if you dare to lie to me, shoot on the spot, do you understand?" ”

Because at this time, the officers of China's major warlords at all levels were corrupt and deducted military salaries from time to time, so it was impossible to talk about the loyalty of the soldiers at the bottom.

As long as they can survive, few people will be stubborn and carry it to the end.

Even some low-level veterans, who are in the Jin Sui Army today, may be in the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army or the Shandong Army tomorrow, as long as they can live, have something to eat, and get a little military salary, it doesn't matter who they follow.

After all, this is not a Great Patriotic War against foreign races, but a struggle between the Chinese "their own brothers", not to mention for whom to serve allegiance.

Of course, the main thing is that these warlords have no beliefs and ideals, and most of the soldiers they bring are weak in willpower, and the main general is all right, and once something happens to the main general, it may collapse in an instant.

However, there are also many generals who love soldiers like sons, such as Zhang Zizhong, Zhao Dengyu and other famous anti-Japanese generals, and their combat effectiveness and fighting consciousness are relatively strong, but relatively speaking, they are only a few.

Of course, when the Japanese invaded on a large scale, many Chinese soldiers were still aroused in their hearts with bloody and patriotic spirit, and they resolutely fought on the battlefield and devoted their loyalty to the country in the face of the huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and ourselves, which is also worthy of respect.

These are also the reasons why Xu Guoren did not order the execution of the nearly 500 prisoners of the 208th Regiment, because these prisoners can basically be absorbed into the security regiment to supplement and strengthen the overall strength of the security regiment.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army nodded again and again to express their willingness to cooperate.

"What part are you?" Xu Guoren asked.

"The reconnaissance platoon directly under the 359th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army." The Jin Suijun scout hurriedly replied truthfully.

"Who is your leader? Where is it now? How many of you are in Binh Duong? Where are they? Xu Guoren asked.

"Our regiment commander's name is Ding Damao, and there are two of our regiments in Pingyang, but our regiment commander received an order and was ordered to lead the 359th Regiment to search and advance to the northwest of Pingyang, while the other regiment is responsible for searching the southwest and southeast directions of Pingyang!" The Jin Suijun scout glanced at Xu Guoren, and then hurriedly lowered his head and continued: "Now our regiment commander is driving here with the 359th Regiment, and it is expected to arrive in an hour at most!" ”

Xu Guoren nodded after hearing this, and waved his hand to escort him down.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his head sharply and said: "God-given opportunity, pass on my order, the whole regiment will gather and set off, meet this 359th regiment, and strive to eat it in one bite!" ”

"Commander, what about these captives?" Guo Hu asked.

"The reconnaissance company left the guards and prisoners!" Xu Guoren saw that Guo Xiaoliu and the others did not change into the military uniform of the Northwest Army, so he made a decision and said: "Remember, send more scouts to the north, and if there is any abnormality, quickly send someone to report to me!" ”

"Yes!" Guo Xiaoliu hurriedly stepped forward to take the order.

Xu Guoren rode on a war horse, waved his big hand and said loudly: "Brothers, go!" Don't forget that our current number is the 208th Regiment of the 31st Division of the 26th Army of the Northwest Army, and I am your regiment commander Zhou Shibin! Later, I will meet Jin Suijun and listen to my orders! ”
