Chapter 91: Rebels
A Willis jeep drove up at a gallop, the driver braked sharply, and the jeep came to an abrupt halt between us and the rebels, and in the car sat Geng Huaiqi, the commander of the 7th Brigade, and his adjutant.
Geng Huaiqi jumped out of the car with a gloomy face, looked at our group, turned his face to those rebels and shouted: "You rabbit cubs are going to rebel!" ”
Only then did I know that these rebels were all from the Seventh Brigade.
Those rebels were dumbfounded when they saw Geng Huaiqi, looked at each other, and stood up from their hiding places and walked out. One of the leaders shouted: "Brigade seat, this gang of jungs of the military commander has arrested our battalion commander!" We are also forced to be helpless! ”
Geng Huaiqi: "They didn't kill people when they arrested people, why are you panicking?" Go back to Lao Tzu! ”
The adjutant who followed Geng Huaiqi said loudly: "Don't you still understand? This is to save you! ”
Geng Huaiqi still had a deterrent effect, as soon as he appeared, these rebels lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything more.
I walked over and saluted: "Brigade Commander Geng, An Sihu of the new 200th Regiment is ordered to suppress the rebels." ”
Geng Huaiqi nodded and said, "Commander An, these soldiers of mine have caused you trouble, I will make amends for you for them!" ”
Me: "Brigadier Geng, you are doing a terrible job, I am also acting on orders, since there is nothing to do......"
The door of the single building opened, Huang Jie walked out with a few people, and walked straight to me: "Camp Commander An, are you here to suppress or to reminisce about the past!" Why haven't these rebels been brought to justice? ”
Geng Huaiqi didn't look at him either, and said coldly: "Camp Commander An, who is this, what a big tone, if you say arrest people, you will arrest people!" ”
Me: "This is the stationmaster of the military commander's Linmeng station. ”
Geng Huaiqi: "It's the Huang stationmaster who took advantage of my absence to arrest people in my Seventh Brigade?" ”
I thought to myself that I am not your subordinate, and I can't deal with you like cross talk, so it will inevitably offend Huang Jie, so I took a step back and stopped answering his words.
Huang Jiepi said with a smile: "It turns out that Brigade Commander Geng's big driver is also here, forgive Huang for being clumsy." ”
Geng Huaiqi didn't seem to be a very good official, and finally showed an impatient look at this time: "Stationmaster Huang, let me ask, what is the basis for your arrest?" Which article and which paragraph of the military law regulations did Battalion Commander Sun violate? ”
Huang Jie: "According to the information we have, Battalion Commander Sun made two remarks about redness at his battalion headquarters at the beginning of this month and in the middle of this month! We now suspect that he himself is a redman! ”
Geng Huaiqi laughed: "You say he is a red element? What a joke! He's just whining. Your military commanders are in my territory, and you have arrested more than a dozen people indiscriminately! I still don't know that there are so many red elements in my army! ”
Huang Jie: "Brigade Commander Geng, we are also to rectify military discipline, whether Battalion Commander Sun is a red element or not, we will give you an explanation after we verify it!" ”
Geng Huaiqi: "That's it, Stationmaster Huang, you hand over Battalion Commander Sun to me, he was a soldier who followed me to death when he was in Burma." I brought it back for the first trial, and he must have said something! If he is really like what you said, don't worry, I, Geng Huaiqi, will not tolerate it! Bring it to you personally! Kill or chop whatever you want! ”
Huang Jie: "Brigade Commander Geng, if you say this, I can't promise you...... Otherwise, you give Boss Dai a call? As long as Boss Dai agrees to release people, I will never say anything! ”
Geng Huaiqi's face changed, and he took a sip: "The surname Huang, you don't use the surname Dai to press me!" He is your master, not my Geng Huaiqi! ”
When those rebellious soldiers saw that their commander was no longer polite, they naturally clamored: "If you don't let people go, let's go in and rob people!" ”
"Holy shit, we're fighting with the little devils, and they're stumbling in the back!"
"Fuck it! Break in and tear down their kennels! ”
Huang Jie said inwardly: "Brigade Commander Geng, you are a dignified brigade commander, you must pay attention to proportions when you speak!" ”
Geng Huaiqi sneered: "If Lao Tzu is not measured, you will not have a chance to stand and talk to me at all!" ”
Then Geng Huaiqi turned his face to me and said, "Commander An, I have taken all my people away, you don't have to be embarrassed, I will go and explain to the military department." ”
Seeing Geng Huaiqi leave with the troublesome rebels, Huang Jie said angrily: "Battalion Commander, why don't you order the arrest of these rebels!" ”
I pretended to show weakness: "Stationmaster Huang, you also saw it, Brigade Commander Geng is in charge himself, and I am a small battalion commander, you just borrow me a gut, and I don't dare to shoot at the brigade commander." ”
Huang Jie thought about it for a while, and said hatefully: "It's too unusual!" I'm going to call Chongqing! Sue him Geng Huaiqi for arsonism and covering up his subordinates! ”
I took people back to Longwan, and the result was perfect for me, no one wanted to kill each other, no one wanted to shoot at their comrades.
Within a few days, the military command station released the battalion commander Sun who caused the turmoil. The reason is very simple, Geng Huaiqi made a preemptive strike and reported the incident of arresting people everywhere at the Linmeng Military Headquarters to the headquarters of the expeditionary force overnight.
After the headquarters communicated with Chongqing, a few minutes after the Linmeng Military Command Station, it released all the arrested personnel without conclusive evidence, and turned a blind eye to the incident of the chaotic soldiers storming the Military Command Station, as if it had not happened.
Towards the end of the month, the storm of the military command station's large-scale inventory was also ordered to stop on the grounds that "the war is approaching, and it is not appropriate to cause incidents, so as not to adversely affect the morale of the army."
"Brigade Commander Geng really has nothing to say to the people below!"
"For the sake of a battalion commander, I did not hesitate to risk offending the military commander and personally called Commander Chen to complain!"
"Such a chief, it's worth it to give him his life!"
"I heard that the battalion commander saved Brigade Commander Geng's life in Savage Mountain......"
In the regiment headquarters, these battalion commanders and company commanders of the new 200th Regiment were talking about Geng Huaiqi's feat.
Huang Wenlie walked in from outside, and everyone immediately stopped their mouths and saluted in unison.
Huang Wenlie looked around: "According to the order of the military headquarters, before the end of the month, the Seventh Brigade will cross the Nu River as a whole and establish a guerrilla war on the west bank. As a follow-up receiving force, our regiment must also ensure that it can cross the river to participate in the battle at any time to provide support! ”
General Stilwell, the commander of the Allied forces in India, had postponed the planned offensive in northern Burma due to friction with the Chinese commanders, but this did not prevent the western Yunnan expeditionary force from planning an offensive.
Ten days later, the 7th Brigade divided into the front and rear armies, adopted a roundabout tactic, and forcibly crossed the river in the lower reaches of the Nu River, where the Japanese defense was the weakest.
This was a good strategy, although it would take more time to actually reach the rear of the Japanese army, but it could also avoid being intercepted by the Japanese army during the crossing of the river.
Our intelligence work has always been lax, and even if the lessons learned from it abound, it still does not attract sufficient attention.
The messages between the 7th Brigade and the military headquarters had already been deciphered by the Japanese army before this, and God knows what the commanders in charge of intelligence in the military department thought about such an obvious loophole.
They still used the original coded messages, did not change the frequency of the station, and continued to use the previous method of coded transmission.
This incredible absurdity brought about a serious leak of military information, and the Japanese army intercepted the telegram and prepared for an ambush in advance.
