The fighter plane was fleeting, and Xiao Siming, who galloped all the way back to Leling City, talked with Wang Lushui and others, and did not care about resting, and led the cavalry company, the first battalion, the third battalion, the fifth battalion, the sixth battalion, the artillery battalion, and the heavy machine gun battalion, and set off in the direction of Qingyun City overnight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leling City to Qingyun City is more than 30 kilometers.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on April 9, Xiao Siming arrived at Qingyun City.

Ma Zhenhua and Xing Renfu reported to Xiao Siming that the inner line in the city had been contacted yesterday, and when the troops launched an attack after a while, the city immediately organized a response, and about 30 puppet soldiers were willing to do it anyway!

Xiao Siming nodded, and immediately ordered the thirty-first team to bypass the north gate and block the other city gates, preparing to capture the prisoners.

After Ma Zhenhua and Xing Renfu left, Xiao Siming looked at his watch, and then ordered the 92nd infantry artillery to be pushed up, and the heavy machine guns occupied the position and prepared to attack the city.

To deal with the puppet army in Qingyun City and Zhang Ziyun's troops who occupied Wudi City, it was enough to use the cumbersome Gaoping dual-purpose cannon and the rapid-fire gun that specialized in fighting tanks, the 92nd infantry gun and the two mortars that captured Liu Motou.

The Eighth Route Army was killed under Qingyun City, and the puppet army in the city panicked and all went to the city wall. This time I saw a cannon set up outside the north gate, and those artillerymen were still wearing steel helmets one by one, and they panicked.

The political work cadres of the Eighth Route Army raised their iron horns and began to shout: "Brothers of the puppet army: We are the troops of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and we are a team that specializes in fighting little devils!" Lay down your arms and shoot them or kill them! Those who are willing to join the Eighth Route Army will fight devils with us! Those who do not want to participate in the Eighth Route Army will be given two oceans per person and can go home! Give you 5 minutes to think about it, after 5 minutes, our army will attack the city, and anyone who dares to shoot at our army will be treated as traitors after being caught, and will be shot in public trial! ”

This is a political offensive, in the past, the independent battalion, the advance brigade has never been used, considering that there are many miscellaneous armed forces and puppet troops in the Jilu border area, Xiao Siming asked the troops to launch a political offensive before the attack for the first time, the purpose is to break up the puppet army.

Cannons, heavy machine guns, and the regular army of the Eighth Route Army came, and the puppet soldiers on the wall of Qingyun City were suddenly stunned, and they were silent one by one, and no one answered!

Xiao Siming looked at his watch, and as soon as the 5-minute time was up, he immediately ordered the cannon to be fired!

The artillery battalion has experienced a series of battles, and the level of technical warfare is already relatively high. With Xiao Siming's order, the flat 92 infantry cannon let out an angry roar, and when he heard the two sounds of "boom" and "boom", the closed gate of the north gate of Qingyun City was blown away.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light and heavy machine guns opened fire, and the bullets swept towards the city wall like a wind, suppressing the puppet army.

A loud charge sounded, and a battalion was in front, like sharp knives, rushing towards the north gate of Qingyun City.

Immediately behind the first battalion were the third, fifth, and sixth battalions.

This offense shows the gap. The attack formations of the first battalion and the third battalion are all infantry squad attack formations taught by Xiao Siming, and the soldiers are all cat-waisted, with the squad as a unit, a group of three, alternately covering, and four groups of firepower, assault group, blasting group, and support group. The battle formations of the 5th and 6th battalions were still the tactics of the Red Army, and the formations were too dense, shouting and rushing forward.

Seeing that Xiao Siming frowned, he thought to himself, after taking Wudi and Yanshan, he would have to concentrate on training for a period of time no matter what. In particular, the company platoon cadres of the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 31st battalions all had to join the teaching team! In battle formations like the 5th and 6th Battalions, when they are surrounded by devils or need to capture Japanese strongholds, the casualties will definitely be very large!

Just as the troops rushed to the north gate, a puppet platoon platoon instigated by the underground party in the city revolted and opened up in the city.

At this time, the internal and external attack, and when the first battalion rushed into the north gate, the puppet army had already escaped from the city wall, ran around the city, saw the Eighth Route Army, and surrendered directly.

By the time Xiao Siming and Hu Qingyun walked into Qingyun City, the troops had already captured the puppet county magistrate and the puppet battalion commander, and Qingyun City was full of jubilation.

The cadres and soldiers of the 31st team who cooperated with the operation saw that the advance brigade was attacking the city with artillery to bombard the city gate, and the two cannons blew open the city gate, without any mud and water, and after entering the city, they were very excited, and they directly merged with the first battalion, the third battalion, the fifth battalion, and the sixth battalion of the advance brigade, shaking hands and hugging, like a family!

Qingyun City did not even have a shadow of the Japanese army, only more than 200 puppet soldiers were stationed, and after checking the results of the battle, they found that they had found nothing except the weapons, ammunition and some food of the puppet army. Moreover, like Ningjin County and Leling County, Qingyun City is lifeless, there are no industrial enterprises, and there are only some businesses dealing in daily necessities.

Hu Qingyun sighed to Xiao Siming: "Jilubian is really poor! Fight ten battles here, and you can't resist fighting a battle in Shanxi! ”

In the past two years, natural and man-made disasters have caused natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Jilu border region, and this year has been particularly dry, coupled with the scourge of the Japanese puppet army and the miscellaneous armed forces to levy grain and distribute funds, the lives of the common people cannot be saved, and the economy is naturally a group of witherers. It is a huge county, and there are not as many merchants as a decent market town in Shanxi!

Hu Qingyun didn't know, but Xiao Siming knew very well that although the beautiful Jilubian was stubbornly ruined by the Japanese puppet, the people here were not short of ambitions. Historically, in order to resist the war, the people of Jilubian demolished all the walls of all county towns and market towns, in order to look forward to the Eighth Route Army attacking the city, and the Japanese army could not rely on the city wall to defend it!

Ma Zhenhua and Xing Renfu came to ask Xiao Siming, what to do with the puppet army that rebelled anyway and the puppet army that surrendered? Isn't it to educate them, pay them some travel expenses, and let them disband and go home?

Xiao Siming looked at Ma Zhenhua with a smile and replied, "Why do you want to pay them for the journey?" How much money do we have? Don't you think that these puppet soldiers have received a certain amount of training, and if they join the army as the Eighth Path, it will save us a lot of training time? ”

Ma Zhenhua was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said for a long time: "Didn't you shout before the siege that as long as you lay down your weapons, those who are willing to go home will pay them the passage money to let them go home?" We have to keep our promises! ”

Xiao Siming's face was still smiling, and he still said slowly: "Yes, we said that we were willing to go home and pay them the passage fee." The problem is that it is now the period of the Anti-Japanese War, and Chairman Chiang has already said in his speech on Lushan that there is no distinction between north and south, and people regardless of age and age have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war! These puppet soldiers are also Chinese, and they should also respond to Chairman Chiang's call to turn their guns and fight devils! Why do we fight with devils, but they dress neatly, eat and drink, and beat us behind the devil's buttocks? They have to make atonement for their sins! ”

Ma Zhenhua is a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and cultivated veteran party member, who is very prestigious in the Hebei-Shandong border region, and has always spoken with a spit and a nail, and he never imagined that Xiao Siming, the captain of the advance brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, would speak in a somewhat scoundrel tone.

Ma Zhenhua suddenly felt blushing, and his voice was much lower: "We have to be trustworthy, it's better to let the disbandment go home!" ”

Xiao Siming laughed, patted Ma Zhenhua on the shoulder and said, "Old Ma, good my old brother, you are Mr. Li in the minds of the people of Jilubian, why can't you figure it out?" The reason why these puppet soldiers are puppet armies is that, except for some bandits and ruffians, everyone else is the children of poor families, and they are either arrested and strong, or they are just trying to eat. What they lack is the ideals and standards of life, and nothing else. As long as we let them understand the truth of resisting Japan and saving the country, and know who to carry guns to fight for, they will be reborn and become real anti-Japanese fighters. On the contrary, if we do not educate and save them, they may continue to be puppet soldiers when they return. When there is another war, when we have the upper hand, they will naturally surrender with their guns. When we are unlucky, they will not be polite to us. Instead of that, let's organize them! You say, isn't that the truth? ”

Ma Zhenhua feels that he doesn't know Xiao Siming a little, is this still Xiao Siming who assigned tasks to everyone one by one at the Ningjin Joint Conference?

Knowing that Xiao Ming's statement is sophistry, his reasoning is still one set at a time, and he can't refute it!

Ma Zhenhua immediately thought in his heart, this Xiao Siming is different from Wang Lushui, I can't tell what is different, anyway, this person is not simple!

Xing Renfu, who was following Ma Zhenhua, had already seen that Xiao Siming was not simple at the Ningjin joint meeting. At this time, what Xing Renfu thought in his mind was that if the captured puppet army could be integrated into the Eighth Route Army, it would be equivalent to letting the Japanese puppet train and arm soldiers for the Eighth Route Army. If this battle continues, there will be more and more guns in the Eighth Route Army, and the team will expand like a snowball!

Without waiting for Ma Zhenhua to say more, Xiao Siming waved his hand and ordered Hu Qingyun: "Pick out the officers in the puppet army, and those who have blood debts on their hands will be handed over to the 31st detachment for custody, and after the establishment of the anti-Japanese democratic government in Qingyun County, they will be tried and shot!" All the other puppet army soldiers were handed over to the artillery battalion and the heavy machine gun battalion, and they were responsible for carrying out ideological education and mobilizing to join our army! ”

Listening to Xiao Siming's order so decisively, Xing Renfu thought to himself: "This doll captain is a ruthless character!" ”

County Magistrate Hu Qingyun is already familiar with the prisoner policy of the advance brigade, that is, no one will be spared, except for those who have committed the most heinous crimes and must be shot, everyone else must be trained and incorporated into our army.

Hu Qingyun agreed, and went to deal with it specifically.

Ma Zhenhua still reminded: "Captain Xiao, absorbing so many puppet soldiers is not conducive to the stability and consolidation of the troops, right?" ”

Xiao Siming replied that it didn't matter, as long as his thinking changed, all problems would be solved. Our army has a set of political and ideological work methods for transforming prisoners and making up for them when they are captured.

Ma Zhenhua asked what is the solution?

Xiao Siming replied that it was the grievance movement.

Ma Zhenhua and Xing Renfu didn't know what the grievance campaign was, and when they wanted to ask again, Xiao Siming said that they would go back and gather the company platoon cadres of the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 31st battalions, and enter the teaching team to study for a month, or at least a week, and when the study was over, I believe that their technical combat level will reach a higher level!
