Chapter 278: Surprise Attack
Chief Li, what now? ”
In the southeast of Jin, a village called Wangzhuang.
The surname Wang is the largest surname in the north, so there are a lot of such villages.
On a relatively wide dam in the village, hundreds of ragged and dejected-looking soldiers of the Central Army were sitting together.
Outside their ranks, there were dozens of puppet soldiers with guns in their hands, as well as a few light machine guns.
"I know what to do?" Li Jing didn't have a good airway.
After the breakthrough of Nanjing, Li Jing, as the instructor of the teaching team, supported Qiu Qingquan to seize the power of Leng Jie, but did not follow Qiu Qingquan afterwards, but returned to the teaching team.
After the First World War in Nanjing, the teaching corps was reorganized into the 46th Division, and Li Jing became a battalion commander.
After the Battle of Lanfeng, the 46th Division was disabled, and only 3,000 people remained, and it was absorbed by Hu Zongnan.
At the beginning of this year, it was incorporated into the 27th Army and stationed in the southeast of Jin.
As a result, not long ago, the Japanese 20th Division attacked, Li Jing's regiment suffered heavy losses, the regiment commander was killed, except for some who fled, Li Jing and many of his subordinates were captured, of course, there were not only soldiers of his regiment, but also others.
"I've heard from these puppet soldiers that we're going to be sent to mine." Said one of the captives.
"Where to mine?"
"I don't know, but I've heard that's the case."
"If we had followed Chief Leng at the beginning, it might not be like this now." While Li Jing was discussing, there were also a few captives in the crowd who were talking, and it was a captive with bandages on his hands who spoke.
"Don't talk about this, if Chief Li knew, it would be miserable." The person next to him looked in Li Jing's direction and said in a low voice.
"Afraid of what? has become a prisoner of the devil's ranks, and he still thinks he is the deputy head of the regiment? Look at the Leng regiment commander, now they are all major generals and deputy division commanders, and most of the brothers who did not return to the 46th Division have been promoted and made a fortune, which is like us... ”
"You're only talking about this now, at the beginning, you could choose to follow Chief Leng, and no one forced you."
These two people are the old men of the teaching corps, and they also participated in the defense of Nanjing and broke through with Leng Jie and others. However, they followed Qiu Qingquan, not Leng Jie.
Afterwards, Qiu Qingquan was transferred to the 200th Division as the deputy division commander, and they were reorganized into the 46th Division along with the soldiers of the other teaching corps.
After the Battle of Lanfeng, the teaching corps basically disappeared, and less than half of the 3,000 remnants taught the corps. Today, among these captives, there are less than twenty old men in the teaching corps.
Of course, there are not many old people in the teaching corps of Leng Jie's department, there may only be a few hundred, after all, after experiencing the defense of Fuchikou Fortress and the defense of Nanchang, there are not many people Leng Jie brought out of Nanjing at the beginning.
"Chief Li, why don't we surrender? Although you want to be a puppet army, at least the brothers can live. Next to Li Jing, an officer suddenly said.
"What? Are you going to be a traitor? Li Jing stared at the other party with a somewhat unkind expression.
When you are a prisoner, you are defeated, but you can't be a traitor.
Seeing Li Jing's cannibalistic eyes, the person who surrendered was suddenly stunned.
"Sir, why don't we find a way to escape, only the puppet army is guarding us, and we have a good chance of escaping."
"Sir, run away. I can't stand this for devil mining, and I don't want to be a traitor, so I might as well try to see if I can escape, the big deal is to get a bullet. ”
For a while, several people were suggesting a way to escape. At this moment, someone saw that Japanese soldiers were coming from outside the village, and the team was not small.
"The devil is coming." Someone exclaimed.
"Who are those people in the devil's custody?"
At this time, someone saw that the devil seemed to be holding a lot of people, could it be their troops?
"It seems to be from the Shanxi New Army."
"Didn't they withdraw? This has not been withdrawn either? ”
"I don't know, these new troops are people from the Eighth Road, and they still have less contact."
"What's wrong with Eight Roads? Aren't they all anti-Japanese wars? ”
"You don't understand, we don't have to go all the way with the eight roads, and when we get rid of the little devils, we will definitely have to fight the eight roads."
Li Jing also found the captured Shanxi New Army, and also shook his head, but he didn't expect that these were also defeated by the Japanese army, and what was even more infuriating was that the Japanese army actually came back.
Just when he wondered whether to continue to escape as planned, the puppet battalion commander who went to meet the Japanese army was actually shot to death by the devil who was the leader.
Then the puppet army that followed the Japanese army back and the soldiers of the captured Shanxi New Army all picked up guns and pointed their guns at the original puppet army in the village, and after a fierce battle, dozens of puppet soldiers died, and the remaining puppet troops surrendered one after another.
This series of events stunned the prisoners of the 46th Division, until the Japanese second lieutenant came to them.
"You're from the Central Army? Who is in the highest position? Trouble come out. Lehi slipped the pistol into his pouch and spoke in fluent Chinese.
That's right, these pretending to be Japanese puppet soldiers are the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Regiment led by Li Haishuai.
When Lehi came to the captive ranks of the 46th Division, Mao Hong was directing his troops to clean up the battlefield and tap the spoils of war.
"Which unit are you from?" Li Jing stood up, but was a little suspicious of the identity of Li Haibu in front of him.
"Lieutenant Colonel? Looks like you're the highest-ranking of these people, right? Lehi glanced at the other party's military uniform and said lightly, "We are a decisive column, and you have been rescued." ”
"Death column?" Li Jing was a little surprised, isn't this the Shanxi New Army?
At this moment, Mao Hong came over and reported to Li Hai, "Director, we have killed a total of 26 puppet soldiers, captured 219 people, captured 35 pistols, 692 rifles, 16 light and heavy machine guns, as well as 7 mortars and grenadiers, and countless ammunition and money. ”
"What do you call this little brother?" Li Jing suddenly asked politely.
"Don't give your surname Li." Lehi turned his head and replied.
"It turned out to be a family member, and his brother was also surnamed Li, and he was the lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of the 46th Division. One of the seized weapons is ours, I wonder if it can be returned? Li Jing knew that without these weapons, they would not be safe on the way back, and it would not be easy for them to lie.
"You're thinking too much, aren't you? This weapon was captured by us. Mao Hong retorted.
"But these weapons are ours, is it possible for the Japanese army to use these weapons? You see, this is a Soviet-style rifle and a medium-fledged rifle. An officer next to Li Jing had a bad attitude.
The 46th Division is now Hu Zongnan's troops, equipped with a lot of Soviet-style weapons, which are not Soviet-style artillery, but there are some rifles.
If the officer of the Central Army did not say it, Lehi did not even notice that among the weapons seized was the Mosin Nagant rifle, which is the so-called water bead.
"Go and see how many Soviet-style water beads there are? How many bullets are left? Lehi asked.
