Chapter 36 Chaos in Shen County (2)
Liu Jiantang, the leader of the first squadron, spread dissatisfaction with this everywhere, coupled with his strict warlord style and domineering, Lu Shilong criticized and educated him many times, and he just didn't want to repent. Later, because he instigated his heralds to beat the county government officials, Lu Shilong removed him from his post and appointed Cao Bin, a member of the first squadron, as the leader of the first squadron.
Since then, Kuomintang diehards Ma Jinhong, Zhang Tengkui, and Liu Jiantang have been even more complicit, always looking for opportunities to take revenge on Lu Shilong.
Besides, Li Shuchun, the director of Luxi Xingyuan, delayed Fan Zhuxian in the city, causing Fan Zhuxian to be trapped in the dangerous city, and finally died in the city. Li Shuchun took a car and went out of the West Gate quickly, where did he go after he left the city? His next target is Lu Shilong, and he wants to kill Lu Shilong again.
Li Shuchun sat in a car and went directly to the Shenxian County Government, and he directly found Lu Shilong and said: "The Japanese army is besieging Liaocheng, and Commander Fan is going to the city to command the operation." He called you to quickly lead the troops to the rescue. ”
Li Shuchun has any kind eyes, what he means is that it will be easy to send Lu Shilong out of Shen County. He was able to contact various anti-Lu forces and overthrow the anti-Japanese regime in Shen County in one fell swoop.
Lu Shilong had already received the information that the Japanese army was attacking Liaocheng, and he thought that Fan Zhuxian had already left the city, but he didn't know that it was precisely because of Li Shuchun's delaying plan that Fan Zhuxian was trapped in the dangerous city. Lu Shilong originally wanted to personally lead the troops out of the city to rescue, but after thinking about it, in this troubled autumn, the situation is changing rapidly, and there may not be any stories in Shen County, so it is better for him to personally take command.
Which force should be sent to the rescue? The second company and the third company, he was not at ease, so he urgently ordered the first company of the county brigade, that is, Cao Bin's first squadron, to quickly drive to Liaocheng to rescue Fan Zhuxian.
After receiving the order, Cao Bin immediately assembled the whole team and marched towards Liaocheng. After Liu Jiantang was dismissed, he has not been idle, he has already co-opted several of his close friends, looking for an opportunity, and wants to take back the military power of the first company. He got very close to the county party department and tried every means to win the support of the county party department.
Li Shuchun originally wanted to lure Lu Shilong out of the city, but seeing that Lu Shilong did not fall for him, he failed to make a plan, so he made another plan and ordered the people in the county party department to find a way to prevent the troops from supporting Fan Zhuxian.
The first company had just left the city, and when it reached the vicinity of Suntun, the three platoon commanders of the first company instigated the soldiers to mutiny, and they refused to move forward. Cao Bin had a premonition that something was abnormal, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Lu Shilong. Lu Shilong felt that there was a reason for the incident, and in order to prevent accidents, he hurriedly ordered a company to stand by on the spot and not to enter the city.
This is the matter of the 14th, and today it is noon on the 16th.
Han Xing led the guard company before he arrived at Suntun, and saw soldiers standing guard in Suntun. Han Xing keenly felt that this Suntun was not a strategic location, but the limited troops of Shen County were going to be stationed here, and there must be a reason for it, so he said to Zhang Xiaosan: "Company Commander Zhang, send a few people to quietly 'invite' that sentry over, I have something to ask him?" ”
With the word "please", Zhang Xiaosan understood what was going on, and hurriedly ordered Li Dazhong to carry out this order.
Li Dazhong quietly touched the sentry, and grabbed him in front of Han Xing like a chicken.
Han Xing had already hidden the team in a big deep ditch, and immediately interrogated the soldier: "Which army are you from?" ”
The soldier was dizzy just now, and only now did he have a chance to catch his breath, and he said a little breathlessly: "We are the first squadron of the Shenxian County Brigade. ”
"What is your mission?" Han Xing asked.
"Fan Zhuxian, who was going to support Liaocheng, didn't expect that when the troops arrived here, the three platoon commanders told us not to go, and arrested the company commander Cao Bin and instructor Song Ying and locked them in a small room. It's been two days. ”
Han Xing understood as soon as he heard it, and as expected, this was the first squadron of the mutiny. Han Xing asked him, "What do you guys think?" ”
The soldier said, "What do you think, it's a good thing to reinforce Fan Zhuxian." Who would have thought that the platoon commander would not ask us to go, there is no way, those who are soldiers listen to those who are officers, this is also the duty of soldiers. ”
Han Xing reprimanded him and said, "Your Commander Cao is also your commander, why don't you listen to him?" It is nonsense to say that the soldiers should obey the orders of their superiors. ”
"That's right," said the soldier, "the original company commander Liu Jiantang stayed for a long time, and there were some people under him. And the newcomer Cao Lianchang, who has been here for a short time, is certainly not as powerful as Liu Jiantang. There's nothing we can do! ”
Han Xing scolded in his heart, this is really some brainless dog soldiers, how can they fight Japan with such thoughts.
Han Xing said to him again: "I am Han Xing of the Liaocheng Guerrilla General Headquarters, if I order you, can you carry out my orders?" ”
As soon as he heard that the commander in front of him was the famous commander of Han Xing, this soldier couldn't wait to kneel down to Han Xing, and said with a stammer: "Deputy Commander Han, don't complain about our affairs, we soldiers can only listen to the orders of the commander, there is no way." Of course I will listen to your orders, and I will never say anything! ”
"Very well," Han Xing said to the soldier, "you will lead the way in front, lead us to rescue Company Commander Cao, and identify the officers who are leading the rebellion." ”
The soldier nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, resolutely obey Deputy Commander Han's orders." ”
Han Xing called Zhang Xiaosan and Wu Xiaoming to him and said to them: "Originally, County Magistrate Lu sent them to aid Fan Zhuxian, but unexpectedly, they mutinied and locked up Company Commander Cao Bin and instructor Song Ying. At present, our main task is to penetrate into Suntun Village, rescue Company Commander Cao Bin and his instructors, and control this company. ”
The two of them nodded, and they both said in unison: "Resolutely carry out the order, you will command." "The first reactionary officer of the rebellion is to suppress it."
Han Xing ordered: "Okay, the first platoon and the second platoon are led by Company Commander Zhang, so I will rescue the company commander and instructor and control this company, and I will lead the third platoon to block the various exits of the village, and never let a soldier escape." ”
The order was given, Zhang Xiaosan quickly took a platoon and two platoons, and under the leadership of this soldier, touched the village, rescued Cao Bin Company Commander and instructor Song Ying, and captured the three platoon commanders who led the mutiny. Han Xing led the three platoons, tightly controlling all the major crossings on the street, and never let a single soldier run out of the village.
The officers and men of the guard company, who were also from the special operations battalion, were all well-trained and had a good way of fighting, and the battle ended after only a few gunshots rang out in the village. Cao Bin and Song Ying were rescued, he ran to Han Xing's side at once, and asked anxiously: "Which is the deputy commander of Han Xing, you are, Fan Zhuxian is in danger, hurry up and save it!" ”
How did they know that in the past two days, things have developed a lot and quickly, Commissioner Fan has already died, and Lu Shilong is even more dangerous. The dead can no longer be regenerated, but the living have to be rescued.
Han Xing held Cao Bin and Song Ying's hands tightly and briefly told them what had happened in the past two days.
Cao Bin was anxious again, and said, "Then let's hurry back and save County Magistrate Lu, County Magistrate Lu is also in danger!" ”
Han Xing comforted him and said, "Your most important task at the moment is to control your company, how many more people can you lead?" ”
Cao Bin then looked at his first squadron, and the three platoon commanders who launched the mutiny had already been killed and wounded, and there were more than a dozen reactionary soldiers. There were also a few party members in the first squadron, some activists, dozens of people, and then some soldiers who fell with the wind.
Cao Bin told Han Xing about these situations. Han Xing's face tightened, and he said to all the officers and soldiers of the first squadron: "What kind of crime is sedition, arresting your own commander and imprisoning him, this is the crime of treason." It's more than innocent! Someone comes, shoot immediately. ”
A few people came up, and the two remaining platoon commanders were immediately pulled out not far away and shot. Still unconvinced, they cried out, "You can't do this, you don't have the right to do this." "Company Commander Liu will avenge us, and he won't let you go."
I can only hear "Horn!" Trumpet! "Two gunshots rang out, and their dog's life was over.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary means, it is useless to treat such die-hard elements at all.
Han Xing also asked Cao Bin to remove all the reactionary soldiers, and Han Xing reprimanded them: "I know that you are all deceived, and I can't blame you." From now on, if you are willing to follow Company Commander Cao and me, I didn't say it. If you have to get along with me, and you can't get along with Lian Chang Cao, then it's hard to say......"
Han Xing looked at the two corpses lying not far away and said.
Cao Bin also beat them and said: "I also know what you have done, but if you change it today, our previous things will be written off." You don't know who this chief in front of you is, he is the famous General Han Xing! Tens of thousands of Japanese were killed by them, and he could still see this little devil in front of him, let alone Liu Jiantang......"
The constant beating of the two people also made these people psychologically effective, and the team began to divide.
Han Xing said to them again: "Are you willing to follow Liu Jiantang, or are you willing to follow us!?" ”
These people are also good men who don't suffer immediate losses, and say that if they follow Liu Jiantang to do it, they will not be shot! Even if you think in your heart, you can't say it with your mouth. Some shouted: "We are willing to follow Company Commander Cao and Commander Han." ”
Han Xing said to them again: "Okay, let's test you for the first time, that is, first grieve for a day, and when Shen County is settled, it will naturally release you, those who are willing to go home will go home, and those who are willing to follow us will do it, we welcome it." ”
Han Xing had them all tied up, locked them in a hut, and sent two soldiers to guard them. If they are all killed, it will be a little too bloody, and they will be afraid of making trouble if they are kept. It's just shut up and stop them from making trouble, which can be regarded as the golden mean.
If you kill it, if you close it, the rest will be easy to do. Han Xing discussed with Cao Bin and appointed several party members as platoon commanders. As for the squad leader, if it's good, I'll continue to serve it, and if it's not good, I'll make a temporary adjustment.
Han Xing also asked Cao Bin to tell the soldiers about the current situation and the main combat missions, and Song Ying also encouraged the officers and soldiers. The first squadron of the county brigade can be regarded as being organized.
Only then did Han Xing lead the first squadron and his own team, and quickly entered Shen County to rescue Lu Shilong and save the anti-Japanese regime.
