Chapter 70 is an example

Neither Zhou Shibin nor Chi Fengcheng noticed that a staff adjutant standing behind Chi Fengcheng turned around and left quietly when Chi Fengcheng practiced for Zhou Shibin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Thirty miles is an unknown town, when Xu Guoren and the cavalry escorted the deserters to catch up, Guo Hu and the main force of the independent division had already stopped here, resting and waiting.

The cavalry of the reconnaissance company left behind patrolled around the periphery, and found that Xu Guoren and others had caught up, and immediately rushed to greet them, and then followed them into the town of Thirty Miles.

When Guo Hu learned the news, he immediately brought people out to greet him.

Xu Guoren didn't care about greeting him, so he ordered him to gather troops and execute these veterans who had deserted in public to set an example.

After the troops were assembled, the more than 20 deserters probably knew what Xu Guoren was going to do, and they were so frightened that they all pretended to be pitiful and begged for mercy.

Guo Hu couldn't bear to see it, and whispered to Xu Guoren: "Brother, you've been with us for a long time, otherwise, just execute the two, don't kill them all!" ”

Xu Guoren snorted coldly when he heard this: "You know a fart, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, if you don't severely punish these deserters today, more people will follow suit in the future, and by then we will have a fart battle, and it will be a few of our brothers who die." Therefore, in this troubled world, the kindness that should not be there will be put away by Lao Tzu.

It is not unreasonable to say that the poor must have something to hate. Our troops have expanded too fast, from scratch in just over a year, to the current scale, and there are definitely not a few people who have the same mind as these song deserters.

As soon as this opening is opened today, there will be a steady stream of deserters in the future, so these bastards must be severely punished, this is Liwei! As the saying goes, this is the truth that mercy does not command the army.

Today, you and my brother are taking advantage of this to establish their authority, and in the future, they will pay equal attention to grace and power, so that they can better control this army, understand? ”

Guo Hu nodded: "Oh, I understand, what my brother taught me!" ”

Immediately, Xu Guoren took a step forward, and said with an expression of non-anger and self-authority: "Everyone, today our three regiments have sent out a group of deserters. Throughout the ages, those in charge of the army hated the most those who escaped from the battle, and I have repeatedly ordered that no one should escape from the battle.

But these bastards, turning a deaf ear to this, still violate military discipline! As the saying goes, it is natural to eat food and carry guns, and to be a soldier to fight.

Since they have made a mistake, they must be punished, and those who escape from the battle will be killed, and now I declare that they will be sentenced to death, and they will be executed on the spot, and they will be executed immediately! Guard Company! Execute on my behalf! ”

"Yes!" Hundreds of officers and men of the guard company suddenly agreed, stepped forward one after another, picked up their guns and quickly escorted the deserters to kneel in a row, and then began to execute in public.

After two rows of gunfire, more than 20 deserters were all shot, and none of them were spared.

The officers and men of the regiments and battalions of the entire independent division were all awe-inspiring, and they had a clearer understanding of Xu Guoren, the division commander who often showed people with a smile on weekdays.

The heart is more in awe than before.

Just when Xu Guoren cleaned up the morale of the army and planned to lead them to continue eastward to meet the Jin Sui army, Guo Shiyin suddenly found him in a hurry.

"Guoren, I just received an urgent telegram from Political Commissar Chen, saying that Zhou Shibin and his 2,000 elite soldiers have quietly separated from the main force of Chifeng City, and plan to take advantage of the head-on battle between our army and the encirclement and suppression troops, and go deep in a roundabout way, intending to go straight to Pingyang and end up our lair!" Guo Shiyin said and handed the message to Xu Guoren.

Xu Guoren didn't recognize traditional Chinese characters as well as simplified Chinese characters, so he didn't read the telegram when he took it, but asked with a change in his face: "Is the news true?" ”

"The latest news that Political Commissar Chen got from the underground party should be true." Guo Shi said.

Xu Guoren took off the Northeast Army officer's hat on his head, scratched his scalp, and began to pace back and forth in contemplation.

"Did Elder Chen say, which way Zhou Shibin took?" Xu Guoren suddenly stopped and asked.

Guo Shiyin shook her head lightly with some guilt: "This Political Commissar Chen didn't say it in the telegram. ”

"This is what I asked more, it is already rare that the underground party of the Communist Party can lurk in the division headquarters of Chifeng City, how can it be so coincidental to lurk in the roundabout troops led by Zhou Shibin, even if there are Communists inside, it is impossible to know Zhou Shibin's specific route in advance." Xu Guoren laughed to himself.

"And what are you going to do?" Guo Shiyin asked with some concern.

Xu Guoren didn't rush to answer, but touched the back of his head and smiled: "This Zhou Shibin, he still doesn't admit defeat, he wants to avenge the first line of heaven!" ”

"Shiyin, you go and help me call Huzi, Danian and Liuzi, and I will assign them combat missions!"

"Good!" Guo Shiyin nodded hurriedly and immediately turned to leave.

Not long after, Guo Hu, Guo Danian, Guo Xiaoliu and others came one after another.

"Commander, what are your orders?" Guo Hu saw that there were many people, so he changed his name.

Xu Guoren told them the information, and Guo Hu was a little surprised: "Brother, then what should we do?" Isn't this time going to be attacked on the back of the abdomen? ”

Xu Guoren smiled and said, "What are you panicking about? Our biggest advantage this time is that Zhou Shibin and the Northwest Army don't know about it, and we already know their intentions in advance, otherwise, it is really possible to be succeeded by them in a roundabout way! ”

"Brother Guoren, do you mean to learn to ambush halfway like last time in the first line of heaven?" Guo Danian said.

"Of course not, let's not say that we don't know the enemy's specific route of march, I think since it is a detour, Zhou Shibin will definitely choose a route that we least expect to march, even if we release all the scouts and find them, I'm afraid it will be too late to mobilize troops to set up an ambush halfway.

Moreover, with a ray of experience, Zhou Shibin will definitely be vigilant, and it will be too difficult to ambush halfway.

Moreover, my goal is to completely annihilate this roundabout army led by Zhou Shibin, so the method of ambushing halfway can no longer be used! Xu Guoren said with a smile.

"What, do you want to annihilate this Zhou Shibin's troops?" Guo Danian was a little surprised: "Can it be done?" ”

"Of course, we must be completely annihilated, otherwise even if he fails to make a roundabout sneak attack, it will greatly contain us, under his constraints, we will be like a fish in the throat, like a mang in the back, let alone defeat the main force of the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army, even Pingyang may have to be lost." Xu Guoren said.

"Brother, you must have something to do?" Guo Hu couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, Guoren, if you have any good ideas, just say it quickly, everyone is in a hurry." Guo Shiyin couldn't help but urge.

Xu Guoren smiled and said: "Actually, the method is very simple, follow the example of the ancients, I want to sing an empty city plan!" Give somebody a dose of his own medicine! ”
