Chapter 55: Execution of Zhang Mawu (8)
Under these circumstances, Zhang Mawu did not dare to resist the order, and watched as the squadrons left their original positions and entered the new ones, leaving their own control.
Under the banner of having a party, the troops of the new 8th Brigade were directly stationed at the stations of the squadrons of the security brigade.
On the evening of the same day, that is, on the night of August 17 of the lunar calendar, the troops of the New 8th Brigade and the County Security Brigade held a warm celebration at each station. Towards the end of the party, the leaders of the various units separately announced the crime of Zhang Mawu's defection to the enemy, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the county party committee ordered all squadrons to lay down their arms and accept the order of the reorganization of the new 8th Brigade.
Wu Fengchao's pistol team was also transferred to the place of birth, originally he had a ghost in his heart, and when he saw these changes, he expected that it would not be a good thing. So secretly colluded with his henchmen, and as soon as there was a change, he immediately mutinied.
When Zhang Xiaosan, the commander of the special operations battalion of the new 8th Brigade, finished announcing these two orders. Wu Fengchao pulled out his pistol and shouted loudly: "Brothers, this is all a conspiracy, a conspiracy, it's the opposite!" β
The pistol team was immediately ready to move, and a dozen pistols were drawn, and it seemed that they were about to fight.
What did Zhang Xiaosan do, he had already instructed the officers and soldiers below, and dozens of assault rifles were forced on Wu Fengchao's chest. As soon as they fired, the assault rifle was not vegetarian either, and immediately burst them out.
At this time, the instructor of the pistol team still played a great role, he shouted loudly: "Comrades, we resolutely obey the orders of our superiors. This is the party's troops, not anyone's private arms. The regular troops are comrades of the new 8 brigade, not our enemies. Lay down your arms, lay down your armsβ"
At the shouts of the instructors, some of the fighters of the pistol squad laid down their weapons one after another.
Wu Fengchao saw that the situation was uncontrollable, and he wanted to die and struggle, he knew that if he was caught, he would not be able to live. So he desperately incited: "Comrades, who knows who they are!" Why should we take our guns? A soldier can't fight without a gun! Hit! Rush outβ"
His sworn friends surrounded him, and it seemed that Wang Ba was eating the scales - with an iron heart. I have to rescue Wu Fengchao!
Zhang Xiaosan saw that this Wu Fengchao was already incorrigible, and it was useless to say anything, so he could only speak by force. Zhang Xiaosan shouted: "Hit-"
Hundreds of bullets flew over, and some of Wu Fengchao's henchmen who protected them died under the indiscriminate gun.
Wu Fengchao had to run away with his life, how could he run, and immediately countless bullets flew over, and his body was beaten into a hornet's nest, and he fell to the ground and died.
Zhang Mawu's brother Zhang Yuncheng was in charge of the Sixth Squadron, and like Wu Fengchao, he attempted an armed mutiny, but was also disarmed by the troops arranged around.
Zhang Mawu's county security brigade headquarters was transferred to Chang'er Village in accordance with the order of the Guantao County Armed Forces General Headquarters. Two companies of the New 8th Brigade lived in Qianningbao and Houningbao, which were only 200 meters away from Chang'erzhai, and the county armed headquarters lived in Beiguaiqu, two miles away from Chang'erzhai.
These three villages are naturally connected together, forming an encirclement of Chang'er Village.
Ever since the new 8th Brigade was stationed in Guantao County, and the county armed headquarters ordered the squadrons to disperse and transfer, Zhang Mawu felt a little panicked in his heart, and had a premonition that the situation was not good. No, I think it's all for me! As soon as the squadrons were transferred, the subordinates could not control it, and the communication was lost again, and no one could be found. No matter how great his prestige is, but at this time, he can't give any orders!
Zhang Mawu also knew that if he couldn't pull away the people and entered the city alone, he would not even be as good as a dog in the eyes of the Japanese Commander Yamada. Of the six squadrons, only two squadrons, the pistol team and the sixth squadron, were his descendants, and the other four squadrons were not easy to take away.
For this reason, he discussed with Wu Zuoxiu, the commander of the puppet army, and after the rain stopped, he asked the Japanese and puppet troops to send out and surround the security brigade with arms. By that time, he used the pistol team and the sixth squadron to coerce other squadrons to surrender. Otherwise, then settle it by force and pull the remaining team into the city.
In the evening, Company Commander Wu Xiaoming of the Guard Company of the New 8th Brigade came and invited the troops to participate in the party.
Zhang Mawu took a look, this person knew, wasn't it the person who came to hang out last night!? After they came, Han Xing couldn't find it, whether they rescued it or not, he couldn't be sure.
"Yo, isn't this Company Commander Wu of the guard company! What's the matter, what's the matter? Zhang Mawu said enthusiastically to Wu Xiaoming.
"That's right," Wu Xiaoming also said enthusiastically, "We are stationed in Qianningbao, and we want to invite the comrades of the security brigade to have a party, which is lively." β
"This ......" Zhang Mawu squeaked, isn't this a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, in case of a big event, where can I find someone to go to." No way! We still have things to do in the evening. β
"What's the matter, our new 8th Brigade has finally arrived at your territory, and you are not welcome, right? When the new 8th Brigade arrived at this place, the devils still dared to come, but they didn't dare to come. Comrades," Wu Xiaoming said again, encouraging the soldiers, "there are performances by female soldiers at night, and there is also supper, if you don't go, you won't get anything." β
The soldiers have not been lively for a long time, and when they heard that it was a show and a supper, they were all willing to go, so they gave their own leaders' advice. "Squad leader, the regular troops are here, and our local troops should be warmly welcomed!" "Isn't it interesting for us to go again?" "Leave a few people on duty, and we'll go to the bustle."
The subordinates asked, and Zhang Mawu had nothing to do, so he had to agree. Originally, there were more than 40 people at the brigade headquarters, and most of them went, leaving only four guards on duty.
Not long after Zhang Mawu's brigade headquarters left, Zhang Linzhi, secretary of the special committee, and Liang Yimin, secretary of the county party committee, personally arrived with a company of the new 8th Brigade, and they came to the courtyard where Zhang Mawu lived and immediately surrounded the courtyard. Then a correspondent from the county armed headquarters was sent in to transfer Zhang Mawu.
As soon as this correspondent entered the courtyard, Zhang Mawu's guard immediately asked loudly, "Who?!" β
The correspondent replied unhurriedly: "I, correspondent Xiao Chen, invite the captain to a meeting." β
Zhang Mawu walked to the door of the house when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was the correspondent of the county armed headquarters in the moonlight, he asked, "What are you doing here?" β
"Report, captain, Liang Yimin, secretary of the county party committee, please go to an emergency meeting immediately."
"Emergency meeting?" Zhang Mawu asked, "What's the matter?" β
"I don't know." Correspondent Xiao Chen said.
Zhang Mawu hesitated for a moment, probably he also felt that it was not good not to go to the meeting. So, he shouted feebly to the guards: "Prepare the horses!" β
Zhang Mawu returned to the house, took a twenty-round shell gun and tucked it in his waist before coming out. Seeing that the three guards were waiting for a long time, he anxiously said to one of the guards beside him: "What's going on, look at it!" β
The guard said yes and walked out the door. Wang Xiu'e, Han Xing and others, who were guarding outside the door, immediately pressed him with their guns: "Don't move!" β
Although the voice was small, Zhang Mawu still heard it, and he pulled out his legs and ran to the backyard. Wang Xiu'e pulled out a pistol and then gave chase.
There was a barley straw stack in the backyard, and Zhang Mawu took out a pistol and shot backwards while running around the wheat straw stack. Wang Xiu'e wanted to capture Zhang Mawu alive, but when he saw Zhang Mawu shooting, he quickly fired two shots at Zhang Mawu from behind, but one shot was in the leg and the other in the shoulder, and he didn't hit the vital point.
Zhang Mawu staggered to the wall, exerted all his strength, and jumped onto the courtyard wall. But when he saw that the courtyard was surrounded and impassable, he immediately turned back again. At this time, Han Xing, Wang Xiu'e, and several warriors were already on his body.
Zhang Mawu saw that he couldn't run out anymore, so he had to surrender with his gun.
At this time, Zhang Linzhi, secretary of the special committee, Zhang Weihan, commander of the new 8th Brigade, and Liang Yimin, secretary of the Guantao County Party Committee, had already come to Zhang Mawu.
As soon as Zhang Mawu saw that the secretary of the special committee, the patriarch of the new 8th brigade, and the secretary of the county party committee were here, he knew that the matter had been exposed, but he still wanted to deny it, and shouted: "Secretary Zhang, Secretary Liang, Brigade Commander Zhang, I am wronged, I am wronged." β
Zhang Linzhi glanced at him, and if he didn't give him a clear explanation of these things, he would not admit his guilt. Then he cried out, "Bring me into the house." β
The oil lamps in the house were still on, and the warriors re-turned the wicks to make the oil lamps brighter. Zhang Linzhi and Zhang Weihan sat in the middle, and Liang Yimin, Han Xing, and Wang Xiu'e were separated from each other.
Zhang Mawu knew that he was already dying, but if he didn't kick twice, this was not his character. He shouted and said: "Secretary Zhang, Secretary Liang, you know me, I have worked hard for the party, I have no merit in leading the Guantao Security Brigade, and I am also working hard, you treat me like this, it's not fair, it's not fairββ"
Zhang Linzhi said coldly: "People are doing, the sky is watching, if you want people not to know, unless you have done nothing." You think you're doing something that you don't know, but you're wrong. Comrade Wang Xiu'e, just tell me about his crimes! β
Wang Xiu'e stood forward in a sassy and heroic manner. There were a lot of people just now, Zhang Mawu didn't see it clearly, only then did he see it clearly, isn't this little girl the Wang Xiaomei of the Guanxian guerrillas who was arrested last night, what? She is Wang Xiu'e. I have long heard that Wang Xiu'e is an excellent agent who specializes in enemy work.
Zhang Mawu slapped his face fiercely, he regretted this! It's true that there are some medicines sold in the world, but there are no regret pills for sale, if this Wang Xiu'e had been dealt with in a timely manner last night, where would there be these troubles.
But Zhang Mawu is still quite cunning, she pointed at Wang Xiu'e and said: "This female comrade, blame me, blame me, blame me too much, I don't know gold and jade, I don't take good care of you, and I think you are a traitor." You have to tell the truth with red lips and white teeth, you can't wronged a good person!? β
