Chapter Thirty-Eight: Earning a Big Penny!

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army appointed by the Kwantung Army, Li Shouxin is undoubtedly a well-known figure in the northwest and Suimeng regions, and there are naturally many people who know him.

This kind of fame can bring a lot of benefits to Li Shouxin in many cases. But when he is in trouble, his fame will make him die. Even if you want to get by, you can't escape the eyes of the intelligence officers of the Eighth Route Army.

When registering the prisoners before, the Eighth Route Army, which had been observing the movements of these prisoners, obviously felt that Li Shouxin looked a little wrong. Even if he blackened his face, he didn't know that it was easier to be suspicious.

After the ordinary cavalry captives were registered, they were taken into custody by the Eighth Route Army one after another, preparing to wait for the next one to be escorted to the rear for trial and labor reform. But for the officers of the puppet Mongolian army, the Eighth Route Army also implemented a policy of solitary detention.

The intention of this is also very simple, that is, to minimize the possibility of the captives colluding in trouble. Without these officers taking the lead, ordinary cavalrymen would not dare to easily violate the capture policy of the Eighth Route Army, and could only obediently accept the follow-up arrangements.

When it was Li Shouxin's turn to register, he seemed to be very honest and reported a name. As a result, the scout of the Eighth Route Army, who was in charge of registration, also said directly: "Wipe the dirt off your face first!" ”

Faced with such a request, Li Shouxin wanted to refuse. But he knew that under the gaze of so many Eighth Route Army, he had no capital and reason to refuse. In desperation, he could only take a piece of clothing torn from the dead body and wipe his face clean.

By the time he wiped his face clean and was still praying that no one would recognize him. A scout of the Eighth Route Army said with a happy smile: "The dignified commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army actually pretended to be a small soldier, don't you feel a little condescending?" ”

'Sir, I don't understand what you're saying!' ’

'Really? How could such a smart person as Commander-in-Chief Li not understand me? I thought you'd be with the infantry brigade that left the city. I didn't expect you to come over with the cavalry division in person, it's rare! ’

After saying this, looking at the several scouts of the Eighth Route Army who had already walked over in an encircled posture, Li Shouxin also knew that his identity had been revealed. I opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't know what else to say.

And this scout of the Eighth Route Army also said in a timely manner: "Commander-in-Chief Li, you are a big man that our commander and division commander are very concerned about. Being a prisoner of a small soldier does wronged you. How about coming with us! ”

Although the puppet Mongolian prisoners next to them wanted to save Li Shouxin. can see the submachine guns in the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they all know the fate of rushing to the rescue, and it is very likely that they will be killed on the spot by these Eighth Route Army.

Unarmed, how could they be the opponents of the main forces of these elite Eighth Route Army? The result of forcibly coming out is likely to be to bury your life in vain. For the sake of small lives, no one dared to say anything.

In fact, the previous ambush battle in the valley had already frightened the courage of these pseudo-Mongolian cavalry. They all know very well that they are lucky to be alive until now. It's not difficult, they will be a dead corpse long ago.

When Li Shouxin was escorted to the headquarters, when he looked at Lu Zhencao, Li Shouxin said in surprise: "You are the commander of the 647th Regiment of the 116th Division?" Have you joined the Eighth Route Army? ”

Looking at Li Shouxin's somewhat stunned expression, Lu Zhencao also sneered: "Thanks to Commander-in-Chief Li, I still remember the little head of the regiment Lu." Back then, Lu led his troops to fight in Rehe, and he has a deep memory of what Commander-in-Chief Li did! ”

In the face of Lu Zhencao's ridicule, Li Shouxin also felt a little panicked on his face. When the Japanese army occupied Rehe, he was the first regiment commander to lead his troops to surrender to the Japanese army in the 17th Brigade of the Northeast Army.

Even after defecting to the Japanese army, it was he who led the troops to attack Duolun, which was still under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Army at that time. But no one could have imagined that a few years later, Lu Zhencao would lead his troops here to ambush the puppet Mongolian cavalry division under his command.

'Whoever wins, princes, losers, Kou! Li is planted in your hands today and has nothing to say! It's just that for the sake of everyone who used to belong to the same army, you can give these brothers under my command a way to live. After all, they are innocent! ’

After learning that Lu Zhencao was the person in charge of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, Li Shouxin knew very well that he had no chance of survival. For a traitor like him, any officer and soldier from the Northeast Army will not easily forgive him.

Just thinking of those soldiers who survived, Li Shouxin finally felt that begging for mercy for these soldiers might make Lu Zhencao feel that he still had the Northeast Army in his heart, at least a good commander who loved soldiers like a son.

As a result, Lu Zhencao, who heard this, sneered directly: "Innocent, this word came out of your mouth, why does it sound so harsh?" Are those of your men innocent?

In those years, who did the people and soldiers whom you killed seek justice? You don't know yet, do you? Many of the troops I commanded were old brothers of the Northeast Army.

Even if the Northeast Army exists in name only, we will never forget our identity, and we will never forget the blood feud owed by the little devil. People like you don't deserve to say things like innocence. When you listen to that, you will feel like throwing up, understand? ”

Thinking about the Northeast Army, which is now less than one in ten, Lu Zhencao also feels very cold. Although the Northeast Army will fall into the current situation, it cannot be completely blamed on others, and they also have many problems of their own.

But for these people who defected to the enemy and treasoned the country, Lu Zhencao really couldn't find a reason to forgive them. After some reprimand, Lu Zhencao also said bluntly. He will not shoot Li Shouxin easily, and will still hand it over to his superiors to deal with him.

Based on what Li Shouxin has done in the puppet Mongolian government over the years, I am afraid that it will not be enough to kill him ten times. But Lu Zhencao also understands that in this puppet Mongolian army, Li Shouxin still has a higher prestige than King De.

As he spoke, Lu Zhencao also said directly: "Send a main battalion to escort this guy to the front line." Tell those recalcitrant little devils that there is still a puppet army, and they have no second way to go except to surrender. ”

In fact, such a decision was not made by Lu Zhencao's original intention. It was a telegram sent by He Zhengdao after learning the news. At least at this stage, He Zhengdao feels that Li Shouxin still has some effect.

At least the news of Li Shouxin's capture will also cause panic and anxiety among these traitors if it reaches the ears of the high-ranking officials of the puppet Mongolian government who are still staying in Zhangjiakou. Even the commander-in-chief was captured alive, what chance did they have?

With this news, it may also play a certain role in plotting against the puppet Mongolian army and some officials of its government. If those people don't want to die, then accepting the conditions of the Eighth Route Army is their only chance to live.

In addition to Li Shouxin, the commander of the cavalry division, who had planned to pretend to be the supreme commander, was also escorted by Lu Zhencao to the next ambush site. Even if Lu Zhencao wanted to go over in person, he knew that He Zhengdao would not allow it.

After all, after solving the puppet Mongolian cavalry division, their division will also continue to deploy defense in the surrounding area. Also cooperating with the 2nd Infantry Division, which was beginning to advance in the direction of Duolun City at this moment, prepared to meet the main force of the Kwantung Army from Chengde.

And the Duolun defenders, who were still waiting for reinforcements at this moment, thought that they would be able to hold out until the arrival of Li Shouxin's cavalry division. As a result, it didn't work out, but what was waiting for them was that Li Shouxin's department had lost contact.

Even after the ambush of the Third Infantry Division ended, He Zhengdao immediately issued an order to attack Duolun. The two main cavalry regiments that had already entered the city one after another also launched a full-scale attack.

After the troops of the Eighth Route Army successfully advanced to the garrison headquarters, even the Japanese barracks were occupied. Looking at the few remaining troops around him, Miyagita, the garrison officer of Duolun City, also knew that he couldn't wait for reinforcements.

'Send a farewell message to Your Excellency the Commander, we, the Duolun Garrison Brigade, swear to live and die with Duolun! ’

Shortly after the brief farewell telegram was issued, several infantry shells accurately hit the room where the headquarters radio station was located. And Mei Jiji, who received this telegram, also felt that the next battle would not be easy to fight.

The most terrible thing is that in the previous contact with Miyagida, Mei Xianji Miro already knew that the war materials they had transported to Duolun before had now become the trophies of the Eighth Route Army.

This also means that the independent mixed brigade heading for Duolun from the direction of Chengde is afraid that it will have to stop for the time being. If they continue to travel lightly, they will also fall into the dilemma of insufficient supplies when they arrive in Duolun.

Except for the 11th Division, which is currently advancing from the direction of the Hung Yen League, the reinforcements sent from the other two routes have problems. This made Mei Xianji Miro also feel for the first time that the Eighth Route Army in the Guannai seemed to be really difficult to mess with!

On the other hand, after receiving a telegram from the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Cavalry Division, informing them that a large amount of supplies had been seized in Duolun City. He Zhengdao also said happily: "With this batch of materials, we can also let go of our hands and feet to fight this battle next!" ”

'Yes! The little devil will probably jump off the wall in a hurry. With so many supplies stored in Duolun City, I didn't want to make a wedding dress for us. However, it is almost dawn, and these supplies must be transferred as soon as possible. ’

'Okay! Leave this to the two cavalry regiments! First of all, we will transport the ammunition and food to our rear base outside the city and store them. In addition, let them be responsible for confiscating the property of the Japanese puppet army and the government in the city.

Precious metals and currency, according to our previous policy, are to be escorted to the rear. Duolun is a major commercial city, and I believe that the harvest there should not be too little. You can make a lot of money in this battle! ’

As the newly formed Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, He Zhengdao knew very well that if he wanted to expand his troops, weapons, ammunition, funds, and food were all things that needed to be prepared. It's hard and this time, they really made a lot of money!

With these materials and funds, I believe there will not be too many problems if He Zhengdao expands an infantry division in the future. As for the funds, He Zhengdao also hopes to seize a little more and escort him back to Yan'an.

I believe that this fund is like a charcoal in the snow for Yan'an and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army at this moment. With the backing of funds, I believe it will be a lot easier for the Eighth Route Army to engage in a large-scale battle with the Japanese army this year! (To be continued.) )
