Not long after the battle ended, Wang Gui and Liao Yong also arrived with a large army.

After the battlefield was almost cleaned, the Yang Chen reconnaissance battalion was sent out to act as scouts and collect intelligence.

At the same time, he ordered Xu Hailang, chief of staff, and Liao Yong, deputy regiment commander, to lead 90 percent of the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment to build field fortifications outside the city.

Then he led the rest of the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, and detained and integrated all the deserters of the Zhoukou Security Regiment into the vast open space outside the east gate.

The trial session began.

As a soldier, what Yang Chen hates the most is undoubtedly the deserter who escaped.

The Zhoukou Security Corps has nearly 3,000 people.

But it didn't even hold for half an hour, and the county seat of Zhoukou was captured by the little devils.

So much so that thousands of people in the city were bloodily slaughtered by the little devils.

It is one thing that the county town has fallen, the combat effectiveness of the security regiment is low, and the commander is incompetent.

But the biggest reason is that the vast majority of officers and soldiers abandoned the city and fled when they learned that the little devils were attacking, and they didn't even fire a shot.

Yang Chen was furious, and he felt that he had to severely punish these soldiers and officers of the security regiment who fled without a fight.

Especially officers.

Because without an officer taking the lead, a soldier would not dare to flee without permission.

Of course, there were too many deserters this time, and it was impossible for Yang Chen to deal with them all in accordance with military law.

Therefore, only some officers who took the lead can be punished to shock the prestige of the army.

This trial is a public trial.

Outside the east gate, a public trial platform has been temporarily erected.

In the audience, in addition to hundreds of soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment holding steel guns to maintain order, there were also thousands of people in Zhoukou.

There are also countless corpses parked next to it, the remains of the soldiers of the security regiment, the remains of the Bai family guards, and the remains of the people of Zhoukou.

Some of these bodies are quite intact.

And some were cut into two or even several pieces by cruel little devils.

When cleaning the battlefield, he was restrained by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment and put it together.

There are also some bodies that have been mutilated by the relentless destruction of artillery fire.

Of course, the protagonists of this public trial meeting are not the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, nor the surrounding people, nor the soldiers and civilians who have died.

Instead, directly in front of the audience, there were nearly 2,000 soldiers and officers of the Security Corps who had been disarmed.

That's right, in this battle, there were more than 2,000 deserters from the Zhou'an Security Regiment.

Some of them were killed by devils, and some of them disappeared.

So there are less than 2,000 people standing here.

In the spotlight, Yang Chenlong walked and came to the center of the high platform.

Behind him and don't follow Wang Gui and Rake Ears.

After he walked to the center of the platform and stood still, and turned to face the crowd, the rake ear decisively handed him the tweeter in his hand.

Yang Chen took the tweeter and looked around with a sharp gaze.

A group of deserters from the security regiment couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs when they looked at Yang Chen's murderous gaze, and subconsciously lowered their heads.

Yang Chen quickly retracted his gaze, and after trying the tweeter in his hand, he said loudly: "Here, first of all, I will introduce myself." The contemptible person's name is Yang Chen, and he is the head of the Tiger Ben Regiment. ”

"The head of the Tiger Regiment?"

"He is Yang Chen, the head of the first regiment in the world?"

"Is he really Yang Chen, the head of the first regiment in the world?"

“……”

As Yang Chen's voice fell, there was a commotion in the audience.

Although these ordinary people had heard before, this support army was the Tiger Regiment.

However, as Yang Chen spoke in person, they finally settled down.

I can't help but be excited.

Because in order to boost the morale of the three armed forces, as well as to enhance the anti-Japanese upsurge and confidence of the Chinese military and people.

The Nationalist Government deliberately used the Tiger Ben Regiment as a banner to propagate.

Of course, with the immortal feats of the Tiger Regiment, they are fully worthy of such propaganda.

As a result, Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan are almost household names throughout China.

Zhoukou is no exception!

At this time, the more the people believed in and revered the Tiger Bentuan, the more Yang Chen's heart was full of guilt.

"Folks, I'm sorry, blame me Yang Chen for being one step late, so that you were bullied and slaughtered by the little devils.

However, these Oriental devils, who are inferior to beasts, have now been completely annihilated by our Tiger Ben Regiment, and you can be regarded as revenge.

Rest in peace! ”

Yang Chen turned around and bowed deeply to the corpses of the soldiers and civilians lying on the ground.

"Head Yang, it's not your fault!"

"Yes, Captain Yang, you can't be blamed for this!"

"If it weren't for the timely arrival of the army led by you, I'm afraid we would all die at the hands of the little devils!"

“……”

The audience boiled again, but without exception, it was not thanks to Yang Chen and Hu Bentuan.

The more this happened, the more Yang Chen blamed himself.

The common people are like this, simple and kind, as long as you treat him sincerely, he will sincerely give back and support him.

After a long time, Yang Chen straightened up, looked around, and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Then he continued: "Soldiers, why are they soldiers?

Eating the public grain handed over by the people, it is our mission to defend the land and the country!

Then when the foreign enemy invades, we, as soldiers, must stand up and stand at the forefront of the battlefield to protect the stability of the country and the peace of the people!

When we put on this military uniform and pick up the steel gun in our hands, we should have such an awareness!

Even if you throw your head and spill your blood, this is also the duty and destiny of my generation of soldiers!

At this time, our soldiers are not on it?

Do you want to let those unarmed ordinary people get on? ”

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment were enthusiastic when they heard this.

The common people were in tears when they heard it.

I have long heard that Yang Chen, the head of the Yang Group, is dedicated to the people, and today, they have finally seen it.

Some people even had their blood surging at this moment, and they had the idea of joining the army and fighting devils with Yang Chen!

And as time goes on, this idea is also getting more and more intense!

Only the soldiers of the security regiment were hanging their heads at the moment, looking ashamed and worried.

Because they know that this matter is definitely not over.

Sure enough, at this moment, Yang Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Gui on the side, and shouted: "Chief of Staff, tell me, how should you deal with being a deserter on the battlefield according to military law?" ”

"Executed!"

The cold five words, as if full of endless penetrating power, entered the hearts of every deserter of the security regiment present, making them tremble.

Especially those who took the lead in escaping, they almost collapsed to the ground in fright.

"The 3,000 people of the security regiment can't resist even half an hour! Even if it's 3,000 pigs, I'm afraid they're all better than you! You guys, it's really China. Shame on the military! ”

"If you hadn't fled without a fight, how could the little devils have invaded the county so easily?

If the little devils didn't attack the city, how could these people be poisoned by the little devils?

The little devil is the culprit of this tragedy, why aren't you? ”

Yang Chen's sharp gaze swept from the venue, and many deserters from the security regiment were already scared into a cold sweat, their knees were weak, and they knelt on the ground and kept crying and begging for mercy.

I hope Yang Chen can give them a chance to live.
