Chapter 178: Leaving Two Letters
The Japanese puppet army in Pingding County has already begun to garrison on the city wall, and these Japanese puppet troops are very tired, but they can't leave their posts.
Knowing that Sun Weiguo's independent regiment was likely to come to attack the county seat, the Japanese puppet army could be described as frightened, and they had seen the strong combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.
Time passed quickly, more than four hours passed in the blink of an eye, because it was already more than two o'clock in the morning when they returned to the county seat, so it was dawn at this time.
The fiery red sun slowly rises from the eastern sky, and the vibrant sunlight shines on the ground.
Pingding County was very quiet all around, and the extremely tired Japanese puppet soldiers on the city wall seemed to be able to hear their own breathing.
Zhu Shiqiang, the commander of the puppet army, came to the city wall, and after returning to the county seat, Zhu Shiqiang was ready to escape.
However, the independent regiment did not attack the county seat, which made Zhu Shiqiang breathe a sigh of relief, and after getting up in the morning, he received an order from Takano Shuichi.
Zhu Shiqiang did not dare to disobey Takano Shuichi's order, and he could only come to the city wall to inspect the garrison of the Japanese puppet army.
"Division commander, this Eighth Route Army should not dare to come, their losses in yesterday's battle were not small, I don't think they will dare to come here."
A puppet army officer stood behind Zhu Shiqiang, looking at the empty road and ground outside the county seat, and the puppet army officer said disapprehrovingly.
Zhu Shiqiang couldn't help yawning, he looked outside with half-squinted eyes, and soon in the open space outside the city, Zhu Shiqiang vaguely found something.
"Ahh Look, that'...... Where ......" Before Zhu Shiqiang could raise his telescope to take a closer look, someone exclaimed.
More and more Japanese puppet soldiers discovered the abnormality in the open space outside, and some of the timid puppet soldiers had already sat down on the ground in fright.
Zhu Shiqiang raised the binoculars, he looked towards the clearing, and when he saw a headless corpse in the clearing, Zhu Shiqiang's body couldn't help but tremble.
Especially when he saw that the corpses were wearing the uniforms of the puppet army or the Japanese army, Zhu Shiqiang's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and he hurriedly dodged.
"This ...... What's going on. Zhu Shiqiang asked with a pale face.
"Division commander, a few officers of our puppet army instigated the Japanese army to go to Zhixi Town to ransack it, it is estimated that they angered the independent regiment, it seems that this is the revenge of the independent regiment."
A puppet army officer who knew the truth of the matter approached Zhu Shiqiang's ear, and he whispered.
When Zhu Shiqiang heard the words of the puppet army officer, he almost sat down on the ground directly.
"Bastard, aren't they looking for death?" Zhu Shiqiang cursed fiercely.
The Japanese puppet army in Pingding County found these headless corpses, and this incident quickly alarmed Shuichi Takano.
When Shuichi Takano, who had come to the castle wall in person, saw this, his face became extremely embarrassed.
Even though he couldn't be sure if there was an ambush force from the Independent Regiment outside, Takano Shuichi immediately gave the order, and he sent the puppet army to collect the corpses outside.
These headless corpses placed there had too much impact on the morale of the Japanese puppet army, and Takano Shuichi naturally would not ignore them.
Dozens of puppet soldiers came out of the city under the intimidation of the machine guns of the devil soldiers, and they came to these corpses in fear.
After quickly burying the corpses, these puppet soldiers ran towards the county seat.
They were worried that there would be an ambush by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment nearby, but Sun Weiguo did not arrange an ambush force, and after pulling the body here and dropping it down last night, Sun Weiguo left the county with his troops.
Of course, Sun Weiguo left two letters when he left, which he wrote in the name of the Independent Regiment.
The puppet army officer who was in charge of leading the team outside had already seen the two letters, and he sent them back to the county seat as soon as possible.
The two letters were written in Japanese and Chinese, one for the commander of the Japanese army and the other for the commander of the puppet army.
The titles of the two letters were "Pingding County Independent Regiment Tells the Japanese Army" and "Pingding County Independent Regiment Tells the Puppet Army" respectively.
Shuichi Takano had already opened the letter, and after seeing the contents inside, Shuichi Takano couldn't help frowning, and the expression on his face was complicated.
Sun Weiguo wrote a lot of atrocities of the Japanese army, and at the same time, Sun Weiguo also wrote about the achievements of the Independent Regiment since its establishment.
At the same time, Sun Weiguo also warned the Japanese troops in Pingding County that as long as the Japanese troops in Pingding County dared to wantonly slaughter the people, then the independent regiment would definitely cut off the heads of all the devil soldiers and make them headless corpses.
After Takano Shuyi finished reading the contents of the letter, his face turned red with anger, but he didn't have the slightest way to deal with Sun Weiguo.
And the situation on Zhu Shiqiang's side is not very optimistic, after Zhu Shiqiang read the content of the letter, his face became as pale as paper, and his body kept trembling.
Sun Weiguo's letter to Zhu Shiqiang is very simple, Sun Weiguo gave the puppet army ten days, if they do not abandon the secret and surrender to the light within ten days, there will be no living mouth of the puppet army left in the future battle between the independent regiment and the puppet army.
The contents of the two letters were unknown to no one except for Shuichi Takano and Zhu Shiqiang, and Shuichi Takano immediately had the letters burned.
He felt that this would not affect the morale of the Japanese puppet army, but those headless corpses had already frightened the Japanese puppet army.
On this day, dozens of puppet soldiers secretly left the county town to become deserters, and they knew that if they continued to be puppet soldiers, their lives would definitely not be saved.
In Chengguan Town, Pingding County, the sign of the regimental headquarters of the Pingding County Independent Regiment directly under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has begun to hang outside a private house.
Sun Weiguo relocated the regimental headquarters to Chengguan Town, and he deployed the cavalry battalion in the villages near Chengguan Town.
Liu Qian's health team also moved to Chengguan Town, where the health team was treating the wounded.
Some of the wounded puppet soldiers were also treated by the health team, and the health workers of the health team used their kindness to influence these puppet soldiers.
Yang Tiezhu was knocked out by a cannonball, and when he came to his senses again, he was already receiving treatment in the courtyard.
Watching a hygienist take care of himself carefully, and listening to the whispered discussions of the wounded soldiers of the Independent Regiment, Yang Tiezhu felt very uncomfortable.
Especially seeing that those people came to visit the wounded soldiers with all kinds of food every time, Yang Tiezhu couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in.
The people looked at the eyes of the puppet army, and Yang Tiezhu would never forget it for the rest of his life, and there was an expression of guilt and self-blame on his face.
And Sun Weiguo, who returned to Chengguan Town, also came here many times, Sun Weiguo first comforted the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, and then talked with these puppet soldiers.
Most of the puppet soldiers surrendered as traitors with their commanders, their essence is not bad, and these puppet soldiers Sun Weiguo thinks that they can be won over.
