Chapter 8: Bandits Become Traitors
This time it's not like last time. Last time, Gao Quan led Liu Qi's supplementary brigade to raid the third division of the devils, and he went down the mountain in the dark, and many people fell on the mountain road on the way, and some even fell off the cliff and died. This time, there was no devil division at the bottom of the mountain, and the troops of the 500 Brigade lit torches, and from a distance, they looked like a hovering fire dragon descending Tongbai Mountain.
Halfway through, I received an official order from the military department, asking the 500 Brigade to exterminate the Dongzhuang Guardian Team, especially Zhang Erfat, the leader of the Guardian Brigade, who wanted to be a traitor, must be eliminated!
Before Gao Quan went to sleep, he still remembered to give Qian Sixi a formal order. With this order, Qian Sixi has to kill that Zhang Erpang by any means! Dongzhuang is not far from Tongbai Mountain, and it can be said that there is such a guy who wants to be a traitor under Gao Quan's nose! Immediately get rid of this kid, and it will definitely be able to deter this militant who is active for dozens of miles!
Dongzhuang, whether it is Zhang Erpang or his owner Liang Shancheng, he hasn't slept well in the past few days.
It can be said that Zhang Erpang did it single-handedly. This kid used to occupy the top of the mountain on the side of the copper mountain, pull the pole and occupy the mountain as the king, and lived happily. In recent years, the Japanese have come, the national army has also come, and the Xinyang area has become a war-prone area. The armies of the two countries have been fighting non-stop for several years, and even bandits like Zhang Erpang, who rely on robbing roads and kidnapping tickets as their main occupation, have a hard time!
One year, Zhang Erpang heard that Liang Shancheng's family in Dongzhuang was quite rich, so he wanted to tie up the ticket of the rich man Liang and get some money to spend. Coincidentally, when this guy led dozens of his men down, he was just in time for another group of bandits to rob in Dongzhuang. The gang of bandits who came first also had few people, and the guys in their hands were not good, so it was okay to bully and bully the honest villagers, and they had to lie down when they encountered any armed gang.
Zhang Erpang came to take a look, and secretly screamed bad luck! It's too late to tie up a ticket! I was unwilling to take someone back, so I quietly led the two people to the entrance of the village to see which hill boss made the first move. It's okay not to look at this, but when I see Zhang Erfat, I am angry, and I dare to rob Lao Tzu's business with these crooked melons and cracked dates? As soon as he whistled, Zhang Erpang rushed into the village with his men and horses, and beat the little bandits who were snatching Xingtou into scattered and fled.
By mistake, Zhang Erpang, who was going to kidnap the ticket, turned out to be a hero who saved the entire village! Liang Shancheng took out the bride price and put on a banquet to express his gratitude. Before the banquet, he discussed with Zhang Erpang to see if he could stay in Zhuangzi, he wanted to set up a team to protect the village, and intended to let Zhang Erpang be the captain.
Liang Shancheng is not a fool, what are these people doing with knives and guns, running to the edge of Zhuangzi in the middle of the night? No need to ask, just like the gang of people who were beaten away, they are all robbers and gangsters! Since people are eyeing Dongzhuang, they can't do it today, maybe they will come again one night! Since you can't hide sooner or later, and the money will have to be spent sooner or later, it is better to spend money to hire these people to protect Zhuangzi.
Zhang Erpang's heart moved when he heard it. When the bandit says something good, a small fight like him is also hungry and full, since there is a fixed place to eat here, who doesn't want to have a serious identity? So, the two people with ghosts hit it off, and since then, the bandit Zhang Erpang has become the captain of the Dongzhuang Guardian Team! His gang of men also changed their careers to become village guards.
When Zhang Erpang was a bandit, he always wanted to develop and expand his team, and now with the financial support of the rich man Liang, this guy immediately began to recruit troops. First of all, all the strong laborers of Dongzhuang were absorbed into the team of protecting the village, and then they picked a small number of bandit nests nearby, and even bought and struck, and wantonly absorbed the bandits and bandits in the vicinity, and the power grew stronger day by day, and by now, there are nearly 1,000 people under his command!
In the last battle of Zaoyi, the 68th Army fought devils near Tongshan, and Liang Shancheng also donated a batch of military rations to comfort the national army. Zhang Erpang saw the magnificent scene of the battle of the large army at close range, and he also deeply felt the weakness of his team.
Because he was afraid that the national army would destroy him as a bandit again, Zhang Erpang quietly went to contact the 68th Army, expressing his desire to return to the national army. When Liu Ruming and the Third Division of the Devil were entering a white-hot state, how could they have the heart to deal with such a worm-like thing? Finally, the officers of the 68th Army saw the face of the consolation goods, and saved a little face for Zhang Erpang, and did not beat him out with a stick, but only said with a clear attitude: We will not recruit troops now.
was rejected for his enthusiastic refuge, and Zhang Erpang was very disappointed for a while. Since the 68th Army didn't want him, of course, this kid also put out the idea of defecting to the army, and planned to honestly guard this Zhuangzi for the rest of his life.
There is a guy who is a traitor in Xinyang City and comes to Dongzhuang to visit relatives. Come here and take a look, yo, how can there be such a team here? There were people in the village, which attracted the attention of the village protection team, and as soon as the two came into contact, Zhang Erpang understood the bottom of this traitor. The two came into contact a few times, and the traitor described his current good life to Zhang Erpang. After Zhang Erpang heard this, he was fascinated leisurely. Since the national army doesn't want him, then he should take refuge in the Japanese!
After the traitor returned to Xinyang, he reported Zhang Erpang's situation to the head of the Xinyang secret service. First the secret service, and then the representatives of the army, after several back and forth negotiations, the matter of the surrender of the Dongzhuang Guardian Brigade to the Japanese was finalized.
Liang Shancheng disagreed at first, but he is a rich man, what can he do in the face of a bandit leader like Zhang Erpang and a devil from Xinyang? With the idea that it is a blessing or a curse, and that it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, the rich man Liang went to his own home and loved it!
For three days in a row, a mysterious person came to talk to Zhang Erpang every day, and Liang Shancheng felt that things seemed to be going fast. Because Liang Shancheng has been really good to him in the past two years, Zhang Erpang did not hide it from the rich man Liang, and directly told the owner that the Japanese would send him a batch of guns and ammunition in two days, and from then on, their Dongzhuang Zhuangzhuang team became one of the Imperial Army, and Zhang Erpang himself was named a major general and division commander by the Japanese! And Dongzhuang will be the location of the division headquarters of the 22nd Division of the Imperial Army, that is to say, the home of the rich man of Liang will become the base of traitors!
He didn't dare to resist, so he had to resign himself to fate. Liang Shancheng coughed and sighed behind closed the door, and told his family not to go out in the near future, so he sat at home and waited for fate to come.
The Zhuang team held meetings continuously, and Zhang Erpang unified the thoughts of his backbones, and waited for the Taijun to send weapons over. The national army can't mix there, and I can't imagine that another village will find a chance to soar here from the Japanese! Division commander, or major general! How big does that have to be? Zhang Erpang hugged his little honey and widow Zhang couldn't sleep after midnight, and her mind was full of good things about the imperial army giving him a gun and a title tomorrow.
