Chapter 49: Recruiting the Defeated Soldiers
Zhang Lezi and his security team were all annihilated, and Sun Weiguo asked the soldiers to tidy up.
After tidying up their clothes, the soldiers, under the leadership of Sun Weiguo, began to enter Zhixi Town.
The people of the town heard the sound of gunfire outside, and they were so frightened that they hid in their homes and did not dare to go out.
Two infantry platoons and a machine gun squad of the county brigade began to enter Zhixi Town, and Hong Zhiqiang and other veterans pacified the people with the assistance of the soldiers of Zhixi Town.
Sun Weiguo first had a brief conversation with the defeated soldiers, and then led the soldiers to the center of the town.
Looking at the head hanging in the center of the town and the female corpse without any clothes, Sun Weiguo's forehead burst with blue tendons.
The warriors hurriedly lowered the head and the corpse, and one of the warriors came to the head and the corpse and wept bitterly.
The head and body were the father and sister of the soldier, Guan Zhou, who was a soldier of the fifth squad of the second platoon.
Many soldiers who were also in Zhixi Town shed tears, and Cheng Zhan and Liu Xi came to Guan Zhou's side and comforted Guan Zhou softly.
Guan Zhou cried bitterly, he fainted on the ground, and several soldiers were afraid that Guan Zhou would have an accident, so they hurriedly carried him to the town's medical center.
"Find the old man's body, then buy the coffin, and control the traitor Zhang Lezi's house in a row." Sun Wei said coldly in Chinese.
He really had the idea of killing all of Zhang Lezi's family to vent his anger, but in the end, his reason prevailed over his crazy thoughts.
The people knew that the county brigade was coming, and they walked out of their homes one after another, and when they learned that Zhang Lezi's gang of traitors had all been eliminated, the people rejoiced.
They took out all kinds of food to comfort the county brigade, but the county brigade would not collect it, not to mention that the soldiers were still in the mood to eat food now.
"Chief Sun, we have given all these weapons to the county brigade, and we are also following Zhang Lezi, and we are willing to accept your punishment."
Zhao Wei came to Sun Weiguo with more than a dozen defeated soldiers, they put the heavy machine guns and mortars aside, and said guiltily with their heads down.
"I understand your situation, I am not to blame for the previous incident, are you willing to join the county brigade to fight devils and traitors?" Sun Weiguo asked softly.
"Chief Sun, we still have the old and young in our family, we want to ......," Zhao Wei and the others said in embarrassment.
Before they could finish their sentences, they were interrupted by a distant voice.
"You brutes, the county brigade doesn't care about you being traitors, let you follow the devils and fight traitors, you still don't want to, do you still want to be traitors."
"We don't need you to take care of it, if you die on the battlefield of fighting devils, it will be a matter of glory to the ancestors, if I am not old, I will go to fight devils."
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, the Eighth Route Army is different from your previous troops, they are really anti-Japanese and fight devils, you can't help but join the county brigade."
More than a dozen family members of the defeated soldiers came here, and they looked at the defeated soldiers and said with a sad face.
The routs had their heads down, everyone's faces were red, and if there was a crack in the ground, they would definitely not hesitate to get in.
"We are the Sichuan Army, and we didn't want to join the county brigade before, but it was a pleasure to follow Platoon Commander Sun to fight devils. There is no deceit in the county brigade, and they are all comrades who can block each other's bullets. In Meng County, dozens of us killed a squadron of devil soldiers, you take care of the family and I know, but the little devils are on our territory, we can't take care of our relatives even at home, only by beating the little devils away, we can have a peaceful birthday. ”
Liang Tieniu looked at the dozen or so defeated soldiers, and he said with a serious face, with an excited expression on his face.
"Relatives can all move to the base area of Nanzhuang Village, where there is a lot of land to cultivate. If you are still a man who can pick up a gun, make a choice, whether you are willing to die on the kang at home, or you are willing to die on the battlefield of fighting devils! ”
Sun Weiguo said with a solemn face, and at the same time he made a decision, he wanted to bring all the relatives of the soldiers to Nanzhuang Village.
The tragedy of Guan Zhou's father and sister must not happen, and this matter must not be left like this.
"Chief Sun, in the future, we will follow you to fight devils, and we will die on the battlefield of fighting devils. Today, we joined the county brigade and died in order to fight devils, and only by dying on the battlefield of fighting devils can we wash away the shame of being traitors. Zhao Wei, who lowered his head, raised his head and looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said with a firm face.
The rest of the defeated soldiers agreed to join the county brigade, with tears in their eyes, and from this moment on, their wish was to die on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.
The relatives of the fighters began to gather, and hundreds of relatives took their belongings with them and prepared for the transfer.
Guan Zhou in the hospital came to his senses, he put on a filial piety suit, and began to bury his father and sister.
Sun Weiguo and other cadres of the county brigade carried the coffin, their arms wrapped with white cloths, and everyone's faces were full of grief and indignation.
Guan Zhou's father and sister were buried outside the town, and a tombstone was erected, and Guan Zhou broke down in front of the tombstone and wept bitterly.
Sun Weiguo came to Guan Zhou, he looked at Guan Zhou, and said in a heavy tone: "Guan Zhou, this matter will not be settled like this, if you don't annihilate all the traitors in Pingding County, I, Sun Weiguo, will not be a man." ”
After finishing speaking, Sun Weiguo gently patted Guan Zhou's shoulder, he called the fifth squad leader of the second platoon and explained him carefully.
The fifth squad had to escort their relatives to Nanzhuang Village, and at the same time they had to deal with the traitors' family property, and they could not continue to fight with the troops for the time being.
The reason for choosing the fifth class for this task is naturally Guan Zhou, his father and sister were killed, and it takes time to adjust his emotions.
"Are you going to go back to rest with Class 5 for the time being, or will you follow us to fight traitors?" Sun Weiguo found Zhao Wei and asked.
"Sir Sun, we are willing to follow you to fight traitors." Zhao Wei and others immediately answered.
These eighteen defeated soldiers were assigned to the machine gun platoon by Sun Weiguo, and he directly expanded the machine gun platoon into a reinforced machine gun platoon.
The two heavy machine guns were organized into a heavy machine gun squad by him, with eight personnel, and Zhao Weilai served as the squad leader.
Two mortars were organized into a mortar squad by him, with ten personnel, and Shi Lai served as the squad leader.
All the oceans seized from Zhang's house were returned to the people of Zhixi Town, and gold bars and other items were sent back to the county brigade.
After dealing with the situation in Zhixi Town, and resting for a short time in Zhixi Town, Sun Weiguo led the troops to set off towards Suogong Town, southeast of Zhixi Town.
He wants to annihilate all the traitors in Pingding County, and the little devils use traitors to deal with the relatives of the soldiers, so Sun Weiguo will annihilate all these traitors.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many recruits in the county brigade, Sun Weiguo would have gone directly to attack Pingding County.
The troops began to set off, and many people in Zhixi Town went out of the town to bid farewell, and of course there were some young people who wanted to join the army, and these young people would follow the fifth class back to Nanzhuang Village.
