Chapter 762 Tanggou Captures Stubbornness (continued.)

Wang Laohu walked into the house as he spoke, the American-made high-power pistol in his hand was twisted with a silencer, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Xia Zhuyu and Wang Xuwu, who were standing in the direction of the main seat in a daze. **-**

It's summer, and it's drinking at the brigade headquarters in the town office, and there are guards standing guard outside the courtyard, in the courtyard, and at the door, and it's very safe, and the officers of Wang Xu's five departments all hang their guns on the walls and chairs, and only the uninvited county magistrate Xia Zhuyu and Zhou Faqian, who has just received the reward, have guns on them.

After Wang Xuwu threw out of the chair, he just wanted to make further moves to grab the pistol hanging on the wall, when he saw Wang Laohu striding to the middle of the room, and the muzzle of the black hole was already aimed at him. Rao was fierce and cruel, and he had to stay there.

Xia Zhuyu has a gun on his body, but he is a county magistrate and wears civilian clothes, so it is impossible to wear an armed belt and a cross-backed pistol like a soldier, but he puts a small pistol in his trouser pocket, and when he uses it, he can take it out as long as he puts his hand in his trouser pocket. It's a pity that Wang Laohu's skills are too loud, and as soon as Xia Zhuyu's hand is in his trouser pocket, Wang Laohu has already entered the house, and the muzzle of the pistol has been aimed at him.

Even if you are stupid, you know that the Eighth Route Army is coming to collect debts, but these guys who were still blowing the conch just now didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would come like this, and they didn't even let them drink the celebration wine.

The one in this group of people who is anxious is Zhou Faqian. In history, after Zhou Faqian killed Tang Shuhong, he was afraid of the revenge of the Eighth Route Army, and then ran to the ghost and became a traitor. If it weren't for Wang Laohu and them, when Xia Zhuyu was full of wine and food and wanted to arrest him, maybe he would still escape under the protection of Wang Xuwu and go to the ghost to be a traitor. Now he doesn't have this kind of opportunity, but he will never stand still, he knows that if he falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, others may be able to escape with his life, only he has no physiology.

Just when Wang Laohu smashed Wang Xuwu and threw out the chair, Zhou Faqian also started to act. This guy is full of martial arts, and his reaction is also, and with a click, he pulled out the Browning that Tang Shuhong had just carried on his back. When Wang Laohu strode into the middle of the supplies and spoke loudly, Zhou Faqian's muzzle was also pointed at Wang Laohu's chest, and he was about to hold the fire, when he heard a "poof", a bullet hit, hitting Zhou Faqian's wrist, blood dripping down, and the pistol fell to the ground.

Wang Laohu didn't look at Zhou Faqian, and sneered: "I have already said that I am always Wang Laohu, the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army's instructor special agent battalion." If you don't know how to read, you touch the signboard, and I always tell you, don't scare you. Listen to the old man, the Eighth Route Army attacked Taiyuan, attacked Tianjin, and captured Qingdao, and the old were all pioneers. Cleaning up your bunch of junks that can't be put on the table is a waste of old time. They all stood up with their heads in their hands. Who dares to play with the heart eye, always pinch out his egg yolk! ”

Although Wang Xuwu and others had not seen the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army instructors, they still knew about the Eighth Route Army's instructors' raids and occupation of Taiyuan, Tianjin, Qingdao, and the storming of Jinan. I heard that it was the pioneer of the Eighth Route Army, and then looked at Wang Laohu's extremely small posture wearing a steel helmet, wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, foot stool leather shoes, and the pistol in his hand. Don't look at the fact that they were still talking about screwing off Liu Yimin's head and giving it to Wang Xuwu as a night pot, and now their legs are starting to tremble.

Wang Xuwu was still a little unwilling, so he calmed down and said loudly: "Your Eighth Route Army is powerful, and you are not vegetarians. This Tanggou Town is an old territory, and when the old brothers feel it, you won't have time to run. Also, the 33rd Division is nearby, and as soon as a gun is fired here, they will reinforce it. I advise you to put the gun down, and if there is something to sit down and talk slowly. ”

Wang Laohu looked at Wang Xuwu and asked coldly: "You are Wang Xuwu, the captain of the Shuyang County Standing Brigade?" ”

At this time, Wang Xuwu knew that it was difficult to be good, so he stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Wang Xuwu is old, and old is Wang Xuwu." The Eighth Route Army is, and so is the old one. Your sneak attack on the old brigade headquarters is a sneak attack. I always have to go to Chairman Han to sue you! ”

Wang Laohu said good, good, good, his footsteps did not stop, and when he arrived in front of Wang Xuwu, a punch hit Wang Xuwu's abdomen.

Wang Xuwu is also a practitioner, and when he saw Wang Laohu's punch, he subconsciously crossed his hands into palms, wanting to block Wang Laohu's fist and protect his abdomen. With a click, Wang Laohu's punch hit Wang Xuwu's crossed wrists, breaking Wang Xuwu's wrist joints, hitting him in the abdomen, knocking him back a few steps, hitting the wall, and sitting on the ground with a pale face.

There were two tables in the room, Wang Xuwu's squadron leader and squad leader, plus Tang Da Monkey, Tang San Monkey and Shuyang County Magistrate Xia Zhuyu, a total of sixteen people. Wang Xuwu didn't say anything, he was already sitting on the ground with blood from the corners of his mouth, and the others had to stand up obediently and hold their heads in their hands under the threat of the muzzle of the black hole.

A few soldiers came in, took off all the pistols hanging on the wall, walked up to this group of guys, searched carefully one by one, and searched the pistol in Xia Zhuyu's trouser pocket and the pistol that Zhou Faqian fell to the ground, which pushed the group of guys out of the house and made them squat on the ground with their hands raised.

At this time, Xia Zhuyu reacted, stood up and shouted loudly: "I am the magistrate of Shuyang County, and your Eighth Route Army has no right to arrest me." I want to see your chief. ”

Wang Laohu had just listened to Xia Zhuyu's incitement on the roof, and he didn't know what kind of birdman this guy was, so he was thinking about interrogating him for a while. Hearing Xia Zhuyu say that he was the magistrate of Shuyang County, Wang Laohu came to his senses, swept his eyes to Xia Zhuyu's face, and then beckoned him to stand up and enter the house to speak.

Xia Zhuyu thought that his identity had played a role, put down his hands, stood up, and did not forget to dust off his clothes a few times with his hands, and walked into the house proudly.

Wang Laohu sat on the chair of the main seat with a big sword, looked at Xia Zhuyu who walked in with a smile, and didn't let him sit down, and asked directly: "What is the county magistrate's surname?" ”

Xia Zhuyu had a delusion when Wang Laohu asked him to come into the house to talk, Wang Laohu's polite questioning made him more wrong, thinking that Wang Laohu was just a deputy battalion commander in the Eighth Route Army, and when he saw him as a county magistrate, he was respectful or stammered, so he walked up to Wang Laohu, stretched out his hand to pull the chair, and wanted to sit down and get a good understanding of this small officer of the Eighth Route Army like Dian Wei.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand reached the back of the chair, there was a soft hum in his ear, and the table was pushed towards him flatly, overturning the chair and pushing him directly to the corner, so that he could not move against the wall.

Xia Zhuyu already knew that the deputy battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of him was very powerful when Wang Laohu punched Wang Xuwu, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, and he was so excited that he had an urgency to urinate, and there was a smell of urine in the house.

Wang Laohu was still full of smiles, and said lightly: "Answer my question first, you are satisfied, and you will not be too late to sit down." ”

Xia Zhuyu was honest, saying that his name was Xia Zhuyu, and he was the magistrate of Shuyang County, and on the orders of Chairman Han, Deputy General Manager Han, and Jia Yunshan, director of the Xu Huai Administration and commander of the 33rd Division, he came to Wang Xu's Fifth Division to arrest Zhou Faqian, the murderer of Tang Shuhong, and prepared to escort him back to the headquarters of the 33rd Division, so that he could be handed over to the Eighth Route Army in the future.

Hearing that Xia Zhuyu was here to arrest Zhou Faqian, Wang Laohu couldn't embarrass him anymore, so he pushed away the table and walked out of the corner, sat down and talked.

When Xia Zhuyu arrived at this time, he was so frightened that he had long lost the demeanor and demeanor of the county magistrate. However, he knew that his life was all about whether he was dealing with it properly, and he must not let the Eighth Route Army know that he was the mastermind of the booby trap Tang Shuhong. At this time, he regretted a little, he had known that the Eighth Route Army was descending from the sky, so he should have controlled Zhou Faqian as soon as he arrived here, gave Wang Xuwu a little more money, and killed Zhou Faqian. In that case, the responsibility for booby-trapping Tang Shuhong will be borne by Zhou Faqian. It's too late for the county magistrate to say anything, and he blames himself, what kind of wine do you drink!

Wang Laohu is no longer embarrassed by Xia Zhuyu, which does not mean that he believes what he said. I just heard it clearly on the roof, this guy is a die-hard score, he came to Tanggou, it is by no means as simple as just arresting Tang Shuhong, there must be an article in it.

Thinking about it, after receiving the order from the division commander, he led the whole squadron to ride in a car and on horseback, pretending to be a ghost for a while, and disguising for a while, driving more than 100 miles, and arrived at Tanggou to capture the backbone of Wang Xu's five departments, and he had to be carefully interrogated to find out the truth about Tang Shuhong's murder. Otherwise, sorry for the dead martyrs.

Just when Wang Laohu was making a surprise attack on the town office, the five squads of the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron, under the leadership of the guides sent by the Dongshuguan Independent Regiment, rushed to the stations of the various units of the Shuyang County Standing Brigade. The squadron leader and squad leader were not there, and as soon as the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared, these soldiers could not organize effective resistance at all, so they disarmed and surrendered. Even the youth training class, the propaganda team, and the villagers of Lianwuzhuang who were locked up in Tanggou Primary School were also released.

After meeting with the soldiers of the Dongshuguan Independent Regiment, who served as guides for the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron, the rescued soldiers of the youth training class and propaganda team, they immediately rushed to the town office to see Wang Laohu and report the atrocities of Wang Xu's Fifth Division.

After learning that Tang Shuhong had been killed, the soldiers of the Dongshuguan Independent Regiment were enthusiastic and demanded to return to Tanggou, eliminate Wang Xu's five divisions, and avenge the regiment commander. However, after studying the situation by the leaders of the Dongshu Guan Independent Regiment, in view of the fact that there were Jia Yunshan's 33rd Division, Guanyun County's Pukaixi Standing Brigade, and the Japanese puppet army stationed around Tanggou, once Tanggou was stormed, it would inevitably fall into the stubborn attack of the Japanese puppets, and not only would the Dongshu Guan Independent Regiment suffer heavy losses, but the youth training class, propaganda team, and even the people of Wuzhuang who were captured by Wang Xuwu might be killed. Therefore, the regiment leadership studied, and Zhang Kexin, deputy commander of the regiment, acted as the head of the regiment, and the troops reluctantly moved to Shuxi.

After encountering the No. 1 Special Warfare Squadron led by Wang Laohu on the way, Zhang Kexin and Chen Fei, director of the Political Department, were overjoyed, and because the No. 1 Special Warfare Squadron was advancing on horseback at this time, Zhang Kexin sent a guide to lead the No. 1 Special Warfare Squadron, and he led the No. 1 and No. 2 Battalions to follow up and return to Tanggou.

Wang Laohu understood the decision of the Dongshuguan Independent Regiment to withdraw westward, because this unit was pulled up by underground party members in the Dongshuguan area, and without any training, the soldiers fought ghosts with enthusiasm, and the weapons were all collected from the local area, and the only machine gun was thrown down by the 57th Army when it retreated, and it was picked up by the people of Tanggou and donated to the Eighth Route Army. According to Zhang Kexin, when the team was first pulled up, it was a group of scattered guerrillas, one of which ambushed 10 ghosts, and after 1 or 200 people, the 10 ghosts escaped back to the stronghold. There is no way, the guns are all old guns, and the soldiers are all hands, so they can't hit accurately. After being formed into an independent regiment, the situation was much better, the combat effectiveness was improved, and the last ambush of the Japanese fleet was very good.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had reoccupied Tanggou, every household in the town opened their doors and lit lanterns. When the villagers saw the Tanggou soldiers of the Dongshuguan Independent Regiment who served as guides for the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron, they all cried, and led the soldiers to Tang Shuhong's cemetery, asking the soldiers to pay tribute to their teacher and regiment commander first.

By the time Zhang Kexin and Chen Fei rushed to Tanggou with the first and second battalions of the Dongshuguan Independent Regiment, Wang Laohu had already figured out the truth about Tang Shuhong's murder and was reporting to Liu Yimin to report the details.

The four murderers who killed Tang Shuhong, Xia Zhuyu, Wang Xuwu, Tang Sanhou, and Zhou Faqian, all confessed, and they were clearly written in black and white. From conspiracy and deployment to deception and shooting, the entire Tanggou incident is clear and clear.

Liu Yimin, who received the report, immediately forwarded Wang Laohu's report to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, and reported it to the Central Military Commission, the Nationalist Government, and to Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Sulu Theater, and Han Deqin and Shen Honglie, deputy commanders, and copied the report to Li Zongren, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Zhang Zhi, and others.

The truth of the incident has been clarified, and the thinking of the chairman and the boss has also changed, and they also replied to Liu Yimin that since the truth has been clarified and the real culprit has been arrested, from the perspective of maintaining and consolidating the united front, the strategy for handling this matter should be more flexible. It can be announced by the Chinese News Agency, Shandong's newspapers, and radio stations, not only to publicize the truth and expose the crimes of Han Deqin's department in creating friction and brutally killing anti-Japanese generals, but also to publicize and call for unity in the War of Resistance, and there is no need to expand the situation. After screening, the captured Wang Xu Fifth Division and the officers and soldiers who had nothing to do with the incident were left behind and handed over to Han Deqin for handling along with the four real murderers, and the other officers and soldiers were handed over to the Han Department after education.

After reading the telegram of the chairman and the boss, Liu Yimin admired the wisdom of the great people in his heart. Thinking about it, as long as the confessions of Xia Zhuyu, Wang Xuwu, Zhou Faqian, and Tang Sanhou are announced, Han Deqin can't kill them if he wants to, and he doesn't have to dirty his hands. Let Han Deqin explain to the Chinese people by himself, maybe this guy can have a longer memory, and after the main force of the Eighth Route Army returns north, there will be less friction and more ghosts.

Liu Yimin called Jingjing and Huang Wei and asked them to report the truth investigation results of the Tanggou incident and the confessions of Xia Zhuyu, Wang Xuwu, Zhou Faqian, and Tang Sanhou in the newspapers and Wen Wei Po of our army in Shandong.

Liu Yimin said in his conversation that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has now entered the stage of strategic stalemate. The victory of our army in the Battle of Suizao shows that the strategic attack power of the Japanese army is obviously insufficient, and the garrison force is also insufficient. With the changes in the situation of our army's frontal battlefield and the battlefield behind enemy lines, the Japanese base camp is likely to have realized that they have fallen into the quagmire of the war of aggression against China, and then they will adjust their strategy of aggression against China, and change the military attack as the mainstay, supplemented by political persuasion, to seven political and three military points, and on the premise of striving to maintain an offensive posture on the frontal battlefield, the main forces will be used to consolidate the occupation area of the operation, and at the same time support Wang Jingwei to establish a traitor government, persuade a group of undetermined anti-Japanese armed forces, establish a large number of puppet army, and implement the use of China to contain China. The strategy of letting the Chinese fight the Chinese. Under such circumstances, the unity of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is particularly important. If we persist in uniting to resist Japan, the victory of the War of Resistance may come one day earlier. Destroying unity and resisting Japan, engaging in friction, and beating one's own people may allow the Japanese army to profit from it, prolong the War of Resistance into the city, and cause the people to suffer greatly. This truth is understood not only by strategists, but also by ordinary people.

It was late at night. Liu Yimin said that he was excited, and his face was shining under the light, and his eyes were shaking.

Let's listen to Liu Yimin continue: The Tanggou incident has sounded the alarm bell for us, and it shows a problem, that is, there are still some people inside who are thinking at the level of encircling and suppressing the Soviet area, limiting the Communist Party and hating the Communist Party. Even to the point that it was possible for the Japanese puppet army to occupy the occupied areas, but it was not possible for the Eighth Route Army to fight ghosts and establish base areas, this kind of thinking was both reactionary and ridiculous, and it was simply unreasonable. This shows that the propaganda of unity to resist Japan is not enough, and the bad elements that undermine unity and resistance among government personnel and troops have not been effectively eliminated.

Speaking of the Eighth Route Army's requirements for handling the Tanggou incident, Liu Yimin said straight to the point that the truth of the incident had been clearly investigated, and that it was Shuyang County Magistrate Xia Zhuyu who summoned Wang Xuwu and Tang Sanhou to conspire to trap and kill Tang Shuhong, the head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, who had made meritorious contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and that it was Wang Xuwu who directly ordered Zhou Faqian to carry out the task of shooting Tang Shuhong. Now is the period of the Anti-Japanese War, Xia Zhuyu and others are no different from traitors, and they should be dealt with in accordance with the traitor office, and their heads should be used to pay tribute to the sacrificed Tang Shuhong martyrs. In order to maintain and develop the anti-Japanese national united front and safeguard the state decrees and military orders, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army will hand over Xia Zhuyu and the four of them to the Jiangsu Provincial Government and the Deputy Commander's Department of the Sulu Theater for handling. The other officers and soldiers of Wang Xu's five divisions who were disarmed and the instructors of the Eighth Route Army will be handed over to Chairman Han Deqin. If Chairman Han can't deal with it impartially, the Eighth Route Army can hand over Xia Zhuyu and other criminals to him, and it can also enforce military law for Chairman Han and kill Xia Zhuyu and other criminals to thank the world.

Liu Yimin later said that the Tanggou incident fully proves that there is no good end to engaging in friction, and whoever engages in friction will not only lose his life, but will also leave a lasting infamy in history. Those who try to engage in friction are advised to think twice.

Dear friends: The mountain people will go to give a lecture tomorrow and return in the evening, without delay, at least two the day after tomorrow. Please support you! Thank you!
