Chapter 240: The First Signs (Second Update)

After Lehi came, he realized how bad the situation of the Death Column was at the moment, especially on the side of the Third Column.

Although Lehi was familiar with history, he didn't know much about the Death Column.

But he knew that at the end of the year, Yan Laoxi would do it, so he still had more than half a year to prepare.

The strength of the 8th Regiment is not much, only more than 900 people, and there are still a lot of guns, more than 700, which is also thanks to Yan Laoxi.

After all, this Jin Sui Army boss built the Death Column as his own troops, and the luxury of weapons must not be compared with the Jin Sui Army before the Anti-Japanese War, but it is also much better than the Eighth Route Army.

Each squad platoon has a light machine gun, each company has a Jin-38 heavy machine gun, in addition to mortars and grenadiers, and even an artillery battery of 4 82mm mortars.

Although the quality of Jinzao's weapons is a bit problematic, it is good to have them.

Strictly speaking, the 8th Regiment is one of the main regiments of the Decisive Column, and it is not a security regiment and a guerrilla regiment, and it is normal to have artillery.

Seeing those cannons, Lehi was worried about them, and he must keep them.

After coming to the 8th Regiment, Li Hai appointed Mao Hong as the commander of the 2nd Battalion, and Zhang Cheng as the deputy battalion commander and company commander of the 3rd Battalion.

As for Li Daniu, he served as his guard.

"Director, there's something wrong with the situation of this death column."

On this day, Mao Hong hurried to Lehi's room and whispered.

"What's wrong?" Lehi asked.

"I found that in the entire 8th Regiment, our people did not actually control the army, and those old officers were very hostile to us, the Eighth Route Army." Mao Hong replied.

"Huh? Nothing big! Lehi shook his head with a smile.

"Director, this is not a trivial matter, what if these old officers really mutinied?" Mao Hong was a little anxious.

"Afraid of what? Didn't I send you to the 2nd battalion as a battalion commander? Lehi said.

"Could it be that the director has already noticed?" Mao Hong was stunned.

"If I didn't notice, how could I let you be the commander of the 2nd Battalion, and send Zhang Cheng to the 3rd Battalion as the deputy battalion commander and company commander? Your task now is to find a way to bring me under control of the 2nd Battalion, find out the officers in question, and then tell me that I will find a way to kick them out. Lehi commanded.

It is not realistic to control the entire regiment, but it is necessary to make sure that you have a force at your disposal.

After all, the current commander of the 8th Regiment is Sun Ruikun, an officer from the Jin Sui Army. Li Hai asked Mao Hong to be the commander of the 2nd Battalion, and the other party was not very satisfied, but finally agreed.

"Director, that's not appropriate, is it? What if the Jin Suijun side takes the opportunity to say that we are targeting them? Mao Hong reminded.

"So I'm going to find a good reason to make it impossible for them to find fault. If you can turn the 2nd Battalion into a loyal unit within three months, it will be a great achievement. "Li Haidao.

"Then why don't you tell Deputy Director Chen and other instructors about this?" Mao Hong said.

"Not for the time being, but now that they say it, they won't necessarily believe it."

It's not that Leng Jie doesn't say it, but most of these instructors have never fought and don't know the cruelty in between.

If there is a real conflict, it will be a real thing, and there can be no mercy.

Ordinary soldiers are nothing, but those who lead the mutiny must be dealt with seriously.

From the 8th Regiment, Li Hai regarded this regiment as his own troops, and naturally he couldn't let the people of the Jin Sui Army take his troops.

But the other political workers of the 8th Regiment do not need and cannot do so, and when the time comes, they can still be brought out and let them join together.

。。。。。。

"The surname is Li, what do you mean by that? Why did you arrest my people? ”

Within a few days, Sun Ruikun, the commander of the 8th Regiment, led people to break into the gate of Li Hai's courtyard, while Li Daniu and several other soldiers remained on guard.

"Head Sun, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by someone who has captured you? Although Lehi knew what the other party meant, he still pretended not to know.

"It's Sun Biao, the company commander of the 2nd Battalion and 1st Company, and Wang Bin of the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company, why did you arrest them? And removed them from their posts? Is there my consent?

Don't forget, I'm the leader. Sun Ruikun, who is in his thirties, has a bad face.

When Lehi first arrived, he really didn't take him seriously, because Lehi was too young, what could a little doll do?

Unexpectedly, it has only been less than a month, and he has begun to do something to his subordinates, and Sun Biao is his cousin.

Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it either.

"Head Sun, are you here for this?" Li Hai naturally didn't fear the other party, but said lightly, "Then does Regiment Leader Sun know what mistakes the two of them have made?" ”

"Isn't it your Eighth Route Army that wants to exclude dissidents?" Sun Ruikun scoffed.

"It seems that Head Sun really misunderstood. Sun Biao, deducting military salaries and bullying people's daughters, such a person is scum.

As for Wang Bin, he should be shot if he smoked opium, sold guns, and colluded with traitors.

At present, I have only arrested two people, if the two are handed over to the column, Commander Sun guesses what the result will be for the two of them? Lehi asked rhetorically.

"This..."

Sun Ruikun knew that his cousin was indecent, but he didn't expect to do it like this, and he was caught.

"Even if that's the case, shouldn't Director Li discuss it with me?"

"I didn't shoot them, didn't I just wait for Captain Sun?"

"Then let them go now, and this matter is over." Sun Ruikun's attitude is a little tough.

"Impossible, Wang Bin smokes opium, colludes with traitors, and sells guns, so he must be shot. Even if Sun Biao is not guilty of death, he should be dismissed from all positions and leave the 8th Regiment, our troops cannot have such rat. Lehi's attitude was also very resolute.
