Chapter Eighty-Eight: Military Law is Ruthless
Rao Guohua lost his body to the country. His sacrifice shook Chiang Kai-shek, who was deeply aware that his army urgently needed to be reorganized, and that a team without military discipline would be scattered. The Japanese army was able to defeat itself because of this, in addition to advanced weapons, and more importantly, it had strict military discipline. The first battle of Lihu made Chiang Kai-shek see that although his troops were far more numerous than the Japanese army, but the two armies were facing each other, and the fierce and desperate combat momentum of the Japanese army suddenly overwhelmed the national army, and he mobilized millions of troops, all of which were the trump cards of his trump card, but he failed in the face of the Japanese wolf. He wanted to rectify military discipline, but because of the repeated wars and the bad habits that had been formed for a long time, it was not easy to change military discipline all at once. China's armed forces do not have uniform military discipline in the first place. The internal friction of the whole country is the king of each mountain. In order to suppress the Communists, he connived at the Japanese to occupy the three eastern provinces and established the Manchurian State. Raising tigers is a problem, and it has been scolded by the Chinese people. Unexpectedly, Japan had to make inches and delusionally wanted to swallow up the whole of China. Cornered him to the precipice. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng captured him alive and forced him to resist the Japanese, and he accepted the mediation of the Communist Party, united with **, and resolutely resisted Japan. In any case, Rao Guohua's death sounded the alarm of the national army's lax military discipline and nepotism. Of the 150,000 defenders of Nanjing, less than 100,000 were really capable of fighting tough battles, while the 200,000 combat troops of the Japanese army were all well-trained, disciplined, fierce and tenacious troops. Chiang Kai-shek had studied in Japan and knew that Japan's militarist enslavement education had secretly frightened Chiang Kai-shek. The defeated generals apologized for their crimes, and those who fled and disobeyed their superiors were all shot. As a result, very few Japanese soldiers escaped from the battle. It is rare to be a captive.
Chiang Kai-shek ordered Tang Shengzhi to immediately execute Liu Ruze, who did not listen to the command and did not save him. Rao Guohua was posthumously recognized as an army general.
Rao Guohua's death also dealt a blow to Tang Shengzhi, who knew the great significance of the army's combat discipline in combat. He immediately convened a military conference to focus on the importance of military discipline. and appointed Xiao Shanling as a military discipline enforcement officer. Tang Shizun, deputy commander of the Sichuan Army, immediately executed Liu Ruze to rectify military discipline. Xiao Shanling was not worried about Tang Shizun, and ordered Xiao Jian to personally supervise the execution of Liu Ruze's death order.
Xiao Jian rushed to Yuhuatai with the Falcon Special Combat Team, and with his super firepower and accurate shooting, he quickly repelled the devil's lifeless charge. Guarding Yuhuatai was the newly appointed reinforced battalion commander Liu Genlai.
Xiao Jian handed over the guard Yuhuatai to Liu Genlai, who returned to the army after being discharged from the hospital, and he, like Xiao Jian, was promoted two levels from a platoon commander. Xiao Jian came to the Tang Shizun headquarters with Tang Shengzhi's order, and Tang Shizun saw that Xiao Jian personally came to supervise the beheading, knowing the seriousness of the matter. Tang Shengzhi was not at ease with him, and Chiang Kai-shek was extremely dissatisfied with Tang Shizun's tolerance of his own nephew. In order to keep his official hat, Tang Shizun seems to be unable to kill Liu Ruze.
Tang Shizun immediately ordered to arrest Liu Ruze!
Xiao Jian sat in Tang Shizun's office, and Tang Shizun said: "Team Leader Long, Liu Ruze has made many military exploits, and the national disaster is at the head. ”
Xiao Jian said coldly: "Commander Tang, do you know how Division Commander Rao Guohua died? After a pause, Xiao Jian said: "Because Liu Ruze escaped from the battle, Guangde was lost, Guangde is the gateway to defend Nanjing, and it is not an exaggeration for Liu Ruze to shoot ten times!" When a national disaster is at hand, how can deserters be tolerated? ”
At this moment, Liu Ruze's angry scolding came from outside: "Why do you want to arrest me? What did I do? ”
After a while, two military policemen escorted Liu Ruze into Tang Shizun's office.
"Get on your knees!" Tang Shizun's face was cold. In fact, he also hated deserters on the battlefield in his heart.
"Uncle, why do you want me to squat? Master Rao didn't kill him. He himself is going to die, who is to blame? ”
Xiao Jian said sharply: "As the head of the regiment, you have no superiors, and you will not be saved when you see death." Let the devil tear open the mouth of Guangde, how many soldiers of the national army have been killed, you are a sinner through the ages! ”
"Who are you? Our Sichuan army only listened to what Commander Liu Xiang said. ”
"Humph! You have no generals, you really deserve to be killed! Xiao Jian said as he pulled out the Zhongzheng Sword.
When Liu Ruze saw Zhongzheng Jian, he panicked all of a sudden. He knew that the Sichuan army was listening to the chairman. Suddenly burst into tears of pain: "Uncle save me!" I don't want to die! I'm here for you, too! The devil is amazing! I can't help it! ”
"You are a soldier, why can't you die on the battlefield in the face of evil criminals?" Tang Shizun's face was pale, and he looked at Liu Ruze, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and a wisp of murderous aura floated out of his face. This nephew is really too angry! I also hated the behavior of running away from the enemy in the face of cowardice, seeing no superiors, and not saving him when he saw death. He promised his sister not to kill him, but at the moment of the great enemy, he could not tolerate deserters, so he had to kill his relatives in righteousness. Tang Shizun finally gave up his heart, waved his hand, turned his head, with tears on his face, and said coldly: "Pull it out and kill it!" ”
Liu Ruze pleaded loudly: "Uncle, you can't kill me!" I'm dead, and my mom won't be alive. You can't kill me, I don't want to die! ”
After a while, with a gunshot, Tang Shizun suddenly slumped in his chair.
