Chapter 50: The Opponent Is a Puppet Army
"The enemy has twelve cannons? Could it be that we are encountering a Japanese artillery brigade? β
"It's not like the Japanese army." Cai Gaofeng shook his head and denied Yao Wenlong's speculation, "I have also dealt with the Japanese army before, and the accuracy of the Japanese artillery is much better than our current opponent!" With our artillery company, which had only recently been formed and was seriously inexperienced, if the opponent was the Japanese artillery brigade, it would not have been possible for the artillery company to hold out intact until now. I think it's like a puppet army. β
The truck suddenly stopped, and there was a knock on the door outside the window. Yao Wenlong rolled down the window, and a soldier's face was revealed outside the window, "Report to the company commander, the sharp knife squad caught a puppet army officer and killed two puppet army guards." The pseudo-officer has already brought it over, and the brothers in the knife squad asked the company commander what to do with this person? β
"Catch a puppet officer? That's great! Gao Feng, our brothers and sons are really lucky, let's go, take a look! Yao Wenlong was so excited that he opened the door and jumped out of the truck, and Cai Gaofeng also got out of the car through the door on the co-pilot's side.
The pseudo-officer was tied to the ground and kneeling, Yao Wenlong just glanced at it, and knew that the goods were not lightly packed, and his face was swollen!
"Can you still talk?" Yao Wenlong was a little worried that if he couldn't even speak, it would be troublesome.
"I can speak!" The soldier next to him went up and kicked him, "Damn, what about the chief asking you, are you deaf?" Do you want Lao Tzu to cut out your tongue and really make you a dumb person? Say it! "Ping Pong is another two slaps.
"I can speak, I can speak! Sir, I can speak. Woo-" The puppet officer cried sadly.
"Who are you? Where are you going? What are you going to do? Say! The two company commanders, Yao Wenlong and Cai Gaofeng, stood with their backs and looked condescendingly at the unlucky pseudo-officer with contemptuous eyes.
The pseudo-officer recounted what he knew in fits and starts. He will say whatever Yao Wenlong asks, and sometimes Cai Gaofeng is still on the side to add. The two of them asked for less than ten minutes, and they didn't ask many questions in total before they felt the seriousness of the situation. The two of them didn't ask, and directly took the kid to a truck and drove to find the battalion commander Ren Laifeng.
The battalion commander Ren is in a hurry. No matter who wins or loses in the end, this battle will definitely not be delayed for long. The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Flying Tiger Battalion, and after a long time, the Japanese army will be brought over, how can the Flying Tiger Battalion break through? But how can we bypass this enemy and go north to the northeast? Ren Laifeng has already sent scouts in both directions to the left and right, and there has been no response yet.
As soon as he heard that the artillery company commander and the fast company commander were coming together, Ren Laifeng immediately met with him. At the same time, he also asked the deputy battalion commander Lin Xincheng to be invited, who is a senior brother.
"Hello battalion commander! Hello Deputy Battalion Commander Lin! The two company commanders stood shoulder to shoulder, saluted at the same time, and greeted each other in unison.
"Good, good, two brothers." Ren Laifeng couldn't close his mouth when he saw these two people laughing. The two of them are as handsome and upright, and even the height difference seems to be, standing there from the inside out reveals a shrewd and capable temperament, who doesn't like it?
"Report to the two commanders, we have caught a pseudo-officer, and we have come to hand it over to the commander for personal interrogation!"
Catch a pseudo-officer and let the commander interrogate him personally? Did you talk like that? Was the prefect used to interrogate the captives? Hearing Yao Wenlong say this, Deputy Battalion Commander Lin Xincheng frowned. However, Ren Laifeng acted as if he hadn't noticed these at all, and immediately perked up when he heard Yao Wenlong's words, "Quick, bring him over!" β
The prisoner was pushed over, and Ren Laifeng asked regardless of the meeting: "What kind of troops are fighting against our army?" What is the official number? β
"It is a unit of the Peace Salvation Army, and its number is the Second Division of the Second Front Army. The division commander is called Yang Hongbiao. used to be a brigade commander under Sun Liangcheng. β
The Peace Salvation Army, Sun Liangcheng's Second Front Army? I didn't expect to fight for such a long time in the Central Plains, and before leaving, I finally didn't avoid dealing with this group of puppet troops who surrendered to the enemy! I said, why is the enemy on the other side so difficult? It turned out to be Sun Liangcheng's troops!
Speaking of which, the roots of the Flying Tiger Battalion are also in the Northwest Army, but he is only a battalion, and the other side is a serious division! Isn't it normal for a battalion to defeat a division? I don't care what the reason for your Sun Liangcheng to defect to the Japanese puppet, if you block my way and kill my people, then it won't work!
Ren Laifeng had a quick brain teaser, since he knew that the enemy on the opposite side was the old department of the Northwest Army and not a devil, then he had a chance to take advantage of it.
For the generals of the Northwest Army, Ren Laifeng still knows a lot. These people have the concept of a country and a nation in their hearts, and they are not stupid. Emphasis on righteousness, but more attention is paid to preserving strength. As long as these people are not pushed in a hurry, they can still be reasonable. The most important point is that Ren Laifeng is not going to fight with the puppet army on the opposite side, he is going north! Of course, it was the best outcome to be able to pass peacefully.
"Xincheng, I'll go see this Yang Hongbiao, and the troops will be handed over to you." If you don't enter the tiger's den, Ren Laifeng decided to meet Yang Hongbiao, the general under Sun Liangcheng.
"No way!" Lin Xincheng denied Ren Laifeng's decision, "Battalion commander, you are the backbone of the Flying Tiger Battalion, what if something goes wrong with our troops?" I disagree! β
"Yes, battalion commander, you can't go!" Cai Gaofeng and Yao Wenlong also expressed their opposition in unison.
"Xincheng, Gaofeng, Wenlong, I don't want to risk it. But this risk must be taken! Even if I really have any accidents, Xincheng can still lead the Flying Tiger Battalion to continue to resist the Japanese! Our Flying Tiger Battalion is the army of the state, the army of resistance against Japan, and not the property of my private people. For the sake of the thousands of soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and for the great cause of China's War of Resistance, I must go on this trip today! β
Ren Laifeng's words moved the three protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven to the point that their eyes were red, and Yao Wenlong even stepped forward and asked for his life: "Since the battalion commander is willing to take risks for the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, Yao Wenlong is also willing to accompany the battalion commander to take risks!" Battalion commander, let me go with you with Kuaturian! When I can't do anything, even if it's a robbery, I'm going to snatch you back! β
"Nonsense! I'm not a big girl, so I need you to grab it? Ren Laifeng relieved the tragic atmosphere of the scene with a word, "I took Wen Ying and Huang Tian with me, even if I really encountered any difficulties, with the two of them here, I should still be able to do it when I come back." Am I not heroic and righteous, you are crying and crying one by one, are you still like a big man? β
"Battalion commander," Lin Xincheng wiped his eyes, "I'll wait for you for four hours." After four hours, if you still don't hear from you, I'll immediately lead my troops into an assault! β
