Chapter 96 Siege of Liaocheng (8)
At this time, although we rescued him in many ways, Yang Jinqi was still killed by the military commander's agents. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFor people like Zhao Hongwu, Han Xing has been studying, he has multiple personalities, in fact, it is also normal, that is, beliefs are different, and faith has devoured his soul.
Wang Xiu'e said to Han He again: "This third brother is also quite strange, he actually helped us speak. ”
Han Xing shook his head and said, "He is not helping us speak, but standing in their position and thinking about them. He is also our enemy, and we cannot have any illusions about him. ”
From August 1945 to May 1946, eight or nine months had passed, and Wang Jinxiang's puppet army besieged in the city was in a state of extreme hunger. During this period, they sent small groups of troops out of the city to grab food, but they were all intercepted, and the Jinan Kuomintang Provincial Government also sent planes to drop supplies to Liaocheng, but they were afraid that our machine guns would strafe them, so they either dropped them on our military and civilian garrisons in Siguan or into the moat.
So, they played another trick, using the sign of the International Rescue Agency, to deliver supplies to the puppet army in the name of relieving the people in the city.
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of May 3, 1946, under the escort of more than 10 people from the "Jinan Executive Group" and the International Relief Administration, five jeeps and 12 large trucks full of daily necessities arrived in Liaocheng. In Dongguan, it was checked by the democratic government of Zhuxian County and Wu Xiaoming of Hanxing.
The U.S. representative was replaced by Si Shiru, and the Kuomintang representative was replaced by Cong Daquan. When Sun Datu and Wang Laosan were about to go up to check, Si Shiru didn't even get out of the car, and said to Sun Datu in half-baked Chinese: "Yours, don't check, this is the material that was transported to Liaocheng to rescue the trapped people in Liaocheng." ”
Sun Datu was not happy and said: "There is a puppet army stationed in the city, you send food to Liaocheng, who knows whether it is for the puppet army or the people." In any case, we were ordered by our superiors to inspect all the materials entering the city. ”
Cong Daquan, a representative of the Kuomintang, came up again to block it, saying: "This is food for the people of Liaocheng, and you cannot stop the food we send to the residents." ”
Wang Laosan was also not happy: "What kind of trick is Wang Jinxiang, everyone can see it, I don't believe it, he can give these grains to the people, and he would have already put these grains for himself as military rations." ”
When Si Shiru saw that the soldier was not a bird himself, he was anxious, got out of the car and waved his arms loudly and said: "If anyone obstructs us from delivering food again, we will go to the international court to accuse them!" ”
At this time, Han walked up and said to Si Shiru in a hurry: "This American representative, I am friends with many of your Americans, they helped us fight the Japanese, and we respect them very much. I hope you can also get our respect, and don't help these Japanese lackeys, these puppet soldiers are our common enemy. ”
"I can't do that much. Who do you know? Si Shiru looked at Han Xing proudly.
Han Xing smiled and said, "Do you know Mr. Wall?" ”
Si Shiru's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Mr. Wall, I recognize him, he was a very politically minded businessman before the war between the United States and Japan. I heard that he sold our M2 tanks to a Chinese military strategist, so that our American tanks played a very good role in the war against Japan. ”
Han Xing said: "I am an old friend with Wall, and he sold the M2 tank to our Southern Expeditionary Army!" We taught the Japanese a hard lesson, and the Japanese tanks and cavalry were crushed and completely defeated. ”
Si Shiru's eyes widened in surprise again and said, "Then who are you, have you ever heard of it, it is Han Xing who does business with Mr. Wall, do you know him?" ”
There is no need for Han Xing to confess himself, Wang Xiu'e hurriedly introduced Si Shiru and said: "This is the commander of Han Xing who does business with Wall, and he is a military strategist who led the M2 tank battle against the Japanese army. ”
Si Shiru's eyes widened when he heard this, and he opened his mouth wide in shock, and after a long time, he finally stretched out his right hand and shook it with Han Xing, the handshake was not too enjoyable, and he hugged Han Xing for a while. "It's an honor, it's an honor, it's an honor to be able to hug General Han Xing, it's the honor of my life, the glory of my life!"
After recounting the friendship for a long time, Han Xing said to him: "I am on official business, and I am ordered to check the materials stationed in Liaocheng, you won't embarrass me, right?" ”
Si Shiru waved his arm heroically and said, "You and Wall are friends, and I and Wall are also friends, so I am naturally friends with you." Check it, according to your Chinese words, the body is not afraid of shadows, these are mainly food, and you are not afraid of any inspection. ”
Wu Xiaoming's soldiers began to check, first inspected 12 large trucks, it was indeed food and general daily necessities, and there was nothing prohibited, 5 jeeps first checked what the Kuomintang was sitting on, and there was nothing prohibited, and finally only Si Shiru was left. Han Xing said to him: "Si Shiru friend, check your car too!" ”
"I don't think so!" Si Shiru shook his head vigorously, "Does my friend's car still need to be checked?" Don't you trust your friends? ”
Han Xing said: "Just because you are friends, if there is no problem with your car, doesn't it prove your innocence even more?" ”
Si Shiru had no choice but to let the soldiers inspect it. Wang Laosan checked it very carefully, and under the back seat of the jeep, he suddenly turned out some letters and handed them to Han Xing.
As soon as Si Shiru saw that the letter had been found in his jeep, his face changed drastically, and he pointed to Cong Daquan, a representative of the Kuomintang, and said: "You people, how dare you even deceive me." I am the negotiator of the U.S. side, and I am the one who brought about the end of the civil war between the two of you, not a tool that you use. ”
When Cong Daquan saw that he had found physical evidence, his face changed in fright, he didn't dare to say a word anymore, and lowered his head.
Han Xing opened it and saw that it was a handwritten letter written by He Siyuan, deputy director of the Kuomintang Shandong Appeasement and Unified Command, to Wang Jinxiang. The letter reads:
Dear Commissioner Wang and Your Excellency Commander Wang,
Your Excellency led your troops to hold Liaocheng, which has been more than nine months, although the military needs are insufficient, and the hardships are one after another, you can still bravely resist the communist army, persevere, and the spirit of loyalty to the party and the state is admirable and respectable. At present, the Shandong Military Region has been arranged, and the national army will soon move north from Ji, and will attack Linqing and Liaocheng from Gaotang, and then the communist army will collapse without a fight.
At present, US representative Si Shiru, our representative Cong Daquan, and representatives of the General Relief Administration have delivered a batch of supplies to your attention to relieve your urgent needs, and the provincial military district will guarantee that bullets and other materials will be delivered to you by plane. I hope that the letter will be warmly entertained by the delegates.
The main materials are: white flour, beef jerky, canned pork, perfume, incense powder, rouge and so on. A total of 20 million yuan of legal currency was converted.
After reading the letter, Han Xing smiled coldly and said to Si Shiru: "Mr. Si Shiru, you keep saying that these materials are for the people of Liaocheng, but if you look at this letter, is this for the people of Liaocheng?" It is clearly a puppet army that helps Liaocheng. Can you explain? ”
Si Shiru took the letter and read it, and became even more angry, shouting loudly: "You Kuomintang, you deceived me and asked me to escort the supplies, I really thought that this was to help the people of Liaocheng." It seems that I misunderstood, this is to help the puppet army in the city. Why are you lying to me? Why lie to me? ”
The evidence is ironclad, Cong Daquan and his gang are self-defeating, and they have nothing to say.
Han Xing took the letter and shook it to Si Shiru and said: "According to the relevant agreement between the two sides, if it is to aid the people of Liaocheng, we can release it, but if it is to aid Wang Jinxiang's materials in the city, this is the enemy, and we will temporarily withhold it." ”
Si Shiru shook his rhubarb head and said, "Oops! This is so that the human and physical evidence are all in the hands of Balu, so that I can't speak? ”
Han Xing caught Li and said: "The illegal documents seized will be kept by our side, and the 'enforcement team' will investigate their origins, and the bearers will be severely punished." From the seized documents, it is proved that He Siyuan is ready to use planes to transport bullets to support the puppet army in the city, which is a violation of the armistice agreement, and the Chinese communists will not be responsible for any accidents caused in the future. Third, the seized 20 million yuan of materials in legal tender should be confiscated as proved from illegal documents to be used by He Siyuan to help the puppet army. ”
When Si Shiru heard this, he was anxious and shouted: "It can't be confiscated, because our American representative has finally persuaded the Nationalist Government to come to support the residents of Liaocheng in the name of the International Relief Administration." ”
Han Xing said: "Yes, our Zhuxian anti-Japanese government has also helped the residents of Liaocheng many times, and also asked the Liaocheng puppet army to release them, but they have collected a lot of food, but the personnel can let them go, and they use the residents of Liaocheng as a bargaining chip." In this way, this batch of materials will be handed over to the Food Committee for storage for the time being, and when the two sides have made it clear, they will be handed over to the residents of Liaocheng in person. ”
Si Shiru saw that things had worked hard to get to this point, and he was considered to be dedicated, so he had to nod his head and agree. Cong Daquan, now that the evidence of the crime is in the hands of others, he has nothing to say, so he has to admit it.
Wang Jinxiang's puppet army couldn't get a grain of food in the city, and they were really hungry with skin and bones, and their eyes were green. On the night of May 4, while the people were asleep, they dispatched from the West Gate and the East Gate respectively to harass our Dongguan Street, Mishi Street, Xiaolibeisi Street, and Yaowangmiao Street, burning and looting everywhere, as long as they could eat, they all grabbed the essence.
Residents outside the city complained to the local Eighth Route Army one after another, and resolutely demanded that the puppet army in the city be eradicated as soon as possible and eliminate harm for them.
The 20,000 residents of the city living under Wang Jinxiang's butcher's knife are even more dark, and they are in dire straits every day, and all the food, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home have been robbed. As the weather became hotter and the plague spread, the number of people who died of illness, starvation, and suicide by hanging themselves and jumping into wells increased day by day.
In order to save the lives of 20,000 residents in the city, the Zhuxian County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, the anti-Japanese government, and the Eighth Route Army stationed in Liao repeatedly appealed to Wang Jinxiang to open the door and release the people, and transported grain to Chengguan three times to relieve the residents in the city, but Wang Jinxiang was afraid that our army would enter when the door was opened, so he refused to open the door to receive food. When the news spread, 700 residents knelt in front of Wang Jinxiang and asked to leave the city, and Wang Jinxiang replied to the residents who asked for it, but later the residents still had to resolutely leave the city, and Wang Jinxiang simply asked the soldiers to disperse them with rifle butts and wooden sticks.
