Chapter Ninety-Seven: Find a Way to Survive!
As the base camp of the puppet Mongolian army, the number of puppet Mongolian troops stationed in Zhangjiakou is undoubtedly much more than that in other places. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But since the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army was executed by the Eighth Route Army, the role of the puppet Mongolian army in the hearts of the Japanese army has plummeted.
Even the puppet Mongolian army in Zhangjiakou has a so-called King De to rely on. But in fact, everyone knows that the elite of the puppet Mongolian army is basically in the hands of Li Shouxin, the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army.
It's a pity that when this elite went out of the city with Li Shouxin to reinforce the Xilin Dunle League, it was completely annihilated by the Third Infantry Division under He Zhengdao. Even if Li Shouxin was finally executed by the Eighth Route Army.
It can be said that the news of Li Shouxin's execution spread, and the blow to the puppet Mongolian army was also very huge. What made the puppet Mongolian army panic even more was that the Eighth Route Army did not take the opportunity to agree to Li Shouxin's so-called 'anyway'.
As a well-known speculator in the Republic of China, Li Shouxin was able to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army valued by the Kwantung Army.
But the problem is that this trick doesn't seem to work with the Eighth Route Army. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, if they can successfully plot against Li Shouxin, perhaps for the Eighth Route Army, there will also be a chance to incorporate the puppet Mongolian army with good combat effectiveness.
In response to this different opinion, He Zhengdao, who decided to execute Li Shouxin in public trial at that time, also said coldly: "In the eyes of many people, if you know that you can change your mistakes, you should give others a chance. But I will not give this kind of opportunity to any big traitors and traitors.
Perhaps killing a Li Shouxin will make the puppet Mongolian army even more hostile to our Eighth Route Army. But it's better than letting the people who have been bullied by the puppet Mongolian army hate us, right? We call ourselves the people's soldiers, and the people's opinion is the most important.
If the people are willing to give him a chance to live, I will follow the opinions of the people. If the people insist on the execution of Li Shouxin to avenge the people who died under his hands in their early years, then he must die! ”
It was He Zhengdao's resolute request that Li Shouxin, who finally felt that he could escape death, was finally executed. Many officers and men of the Third Infantry Division who learned the news felt relieved.
Originally, in Lu Zhencao's opinion, he was also worried that the Eighth Route Army would give Li Shouxin some preferential treatment. After all, in the eyes of many politicians, Li Shouxin is also a worthy target. As for the opinions of ordinary people, how many people really attach importance to them?
As a result, He Zhengdao still did not forget his original intention, and simply ignored the promises made by Li Shouxin. In fact, when Li Shouxin said that he would persuade the puppet Mongolian army to surrender, and even joined the Eighth Route Army to fight the Kwantung Army, He Zhengdao still did not waver in his determination to kill him.
In the words of He Zhengdao in the interrogation room at the time, that is: "You were able to betray the Northeast Army and join the Kwantung Army, and now in order to survive, you can betray the Kwantung Army and join the Eighth Route Army." So one day, will you betray again?
In fact, if you join the Kwantung Army and choose to betray, it may be explained by the current situation. But over the years, in order to help the Kwantung Army rule the so-called puppet Mongolian government, how many anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians and innocent people have you killed?
If they can get their lives back as long as they admit their mistakes, then who will avenge the hatred and hatred of the other people who were killed by him? What's more, what is the use of a force that can surrender to anyone at any time? ”
It was such words that completely dispelled Li Shouxin's illusions. Not long after, Li Shouxin, who was tried in Ulanqab City, was directly sentenced by the Eighth Route Army to correct the law on the spot amid the shouts of the people.
Originally, before leaving Zhangjiakou, Li Shouxin also retained a force under the command of a confidant general in the city. In Li Shouxin's view, this is his old nest, which cannot be lost at any time, and it is also to leave a way back for himself.
But with the execution of Li Shouxin, the troops he left in the city also became the targets of other puppet Mongolian troops and Japanese soldiers. Even the rebellion that broke out in Zhangjiakou a few more time ago was caused by this force.
Although in the end, the Japanese army only executed those puppet Mongolian soldiers who participated in the rebellion. But the puppet Mongolian soldiers who survived were even more marginalized. Even if it is a normal food supply, the Japanese soldiers in the city are also not supplied with a meal.
Even what made these puppet Mongolian soldiers aggrieved was that even if they wanted to get out of the city, they were stopped by the Japanese troops in the city. In a word, Zhangjiakou, which originally seemed like their home, became a big prison where they were held.
The hundreds of puppet Mongolian soldiers who survived could only grit their teeth and persevere. In their opinion, in this situation, they can only expect the Eighth Route Army to enter Zhangjiakou. As long as the Eighth Route Army enters the city, it is better to be afraid of death than to live like this.
These puppet soldiers, who live every day, have also become other targets of attack and amusement under the heart of King De. Until the Japanese army in the city suddenly withdrew from Zhangjiakou overnight.
In fact, these puppet soldiers have been looking for an opportunity to escape from Zhangjiakou. It's a pity that they all know that there aren't many such opportunities. Not to mention that the puppet army in the city is staring at them, even if there are patrols outside the city to shoot the so-called deserters at any time.
Hearing the report of the guard next to him, the only surviving puppet cavalry commander said in disbelief: "The little devil is really gone?" Can you be sure? ”
'Tuanza, really! Two days ago, our people found out that the little devil was secretly collecting supplies and loading the truck. I thought they had a military operation, but when I went to the city this morning, I saw that there was no one in the city.
Even the guy from King De is gone, and none of the little devil expatriates who live in the city are gone. Even those who had obeyed King De's orders earlier were now panicked, and they were all thrown into the city. ’
Hearing the news, the cavalry commander, who also belonged to Li Shouxin's lineage earlier, finally said: "Go and find the second battalion commander!" ”
Not long after, a cavalry battalion commander who also looked a little lost walked into the command room of the cavalry regiment. And the reason why he was called was that one of the former comrades-in-arms of the cavalry battalion commander is now serving as a company commander in the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army.
Of course, not many people know about this news. And this cavalry commander is an insider. It is clear that the little devil withdrew from Zhangjiakou overnight, so only these panicked puppet troops in the city will not be able to stop the Eighth Route Army that will come to take over the city at that time.
'Old Tie, can you contact your former brother?' ’
Faced with such an inquiry, the second battalion commander shook his head and said: "Tuanza, I'm afraid it's difficult, the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army are uncertain. I haven't been out of town for a long time, so I really don't know if I can contact them! ”
"Lao Tie, we are all old brothers, and I won't hide some things from you. At this point, even if it's not for you and me, even for the sake of these old brothers in our cavalry regiment, you must help us! ’
knows that in such a troubled world, even if they are a cavalry regiment, they are no longer worthy of their name. But after all, there were still a few hundred people alive in the cavalry regiment. The reason why they did not participate in the rebellion was that the cavalry commander felt uncertain.
Under the nose of the little devil, how can you succeed in creating a rebellion for the little devil? But he also understands the rebellious officers and soldiers, who are actually driven to a dead end by the little devils. It's not death, it's death, so why not gamble?
Listening to the regimental commander's pleading words, the second battalion commander thought for a while and said, "Tuanzao, then I'll try it!" However, I don't think the Eighth Route Army will kill innocents indiscriminately, right? Over the years, although we have done a lot of bad things, most of them have also acted on orders.
The most important thing is that after we entered Zhangjiakou, we did not fight against the Eighth Route Army at all. As long as we cooperate with the actions of the Eighth Route Army, I believe they will also give us a chance to atone for our sins? And I have an idea, I don't know if to talk about it? ”
'When is it, just say what you have!' ’
After the second battalion commander said his thoughts, the cavalry commander also said with surprise on his face: "Isn't it? He also has contact with the Eight Roads? Isn't that guy a henchman of King De? ”
'Tuanza, these days, who doesn't want to leave a way back for themselves? I think if we can cooperate with him, maybe we can control the situation in the city. Wouldn't it be better for us to take the initiative to open the city and surrender than to wait for the Eighth Route Army to fight? ’
'Okay! Then you can do it! ’
Not long after, at the door of this cavalry regiment, which is rarely talked about, another group of people soon came. It's just that compared with the people in the cavalry regiment, these troops, who also belong to the puppet Mongolian army, have a much better mental outlook.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was walking in the front, the cavalry of many cavalry regiments also said with some surprise: "Isn't this the commander of the Sixth Cavalry Division?" At this time, what did he come to our cavalry regiment for? ”
Not long after the commander of the cavalry division, who was known to many as the commander of the cavalry division collected by the German king, left the cavalry regiment, several carriages arrived at the cavalry regiment. Looking at the cart full of bullet boxes, all the cavalry were stunned.
You know, in order to prevent them from rebelling, the Kwantung Army collected all the bullets of the cavalry regiment. Even though they still had guns on their backs, there was not a single bullet in the guns. But at this time, the Sixth Cavalry Division sent so many bullets!
When the cavalry regiment quickly completed the assembly, the cavalry commander said very seriously: "Brothers, I believe you all know that the little devil ran away overnight and left us all in the city. Needless to say, you all know what that means?
In order to find a life for my brothers, and for us to live as individuals in the future, I decided to revolt before the battle and cooperate with the 6th Division to take the whole city. When the Eighth Route Army comes, we will take refuge in the Eighth Route Army and change our way of life.
Maybe the Eighth Route Army won't accept us, but you should all know that the Eighth Route Army still treats prisoners very favorably. Maybe we won't be able to carry a gun in the future, but at least we'll be able to survive. Are you going to do this business? ”
'! ’
The simple but unanimous answer made the cavalry commander breathe a sigh of relief. Not long after, the cavalry regiment, which had completed the distribution of bullets, cooperated with the Sixth Cavalry Division, which also chose to revolt before the battle, to control Zhangjiakou.
As for the puppet Mongolian officers and government officials who committed the most heinous crimes and planned to escape, they were all detained. Even the confiscated property was confiscated and planned to be handed over to the Eighth Route Army that entered the city at that time.
It can be said that, compared with the earlier rebellion, the alliance between the Sixth Division and the cavalry regiment this time was hardly hindered. The puppet Mongolian army, who tasted the bitter fruit of abandonment, was not willing to work for the little devil anymore! (To be continued.) )
