"I'll go!" Gai Longquan and Chen Shou are on the same page.

These two are at odds with each other at every turn. Chen Shou said: "I've had enough of the hard days in the mountains, and I want to go to the city to enjoy the blessings, don't fight with me, be careful that I turn my face." ”

Gai Longquan said: "It's not your turn, I'm older than you, seniority is older than you, haven't you seen the Japanese bounty notice, my head is more expensive than your head." ”

The two quarreled lively, Chen Zikun didn't say a word, but his nose was a little sour, the old brothers were fighting to jump into the tiger's mouth, this kind of thing has been extremely dangerous since ancient times, and the whole army was wiped out if there was a slight accident, and there was not even a whole corpse left.

In the end, Gai Longquan had the upper hand, he said: "I have no one in the Gai family, I am not afraid of being dug up the ancestral grave, pointing to the backbone and scolding the traitor, there are still many people in your Chen family, and you have to have face, besides, you and the surname Xia are feuds, and you have to fight when you meet, so let's go." ”

Chen Shou couldn't compete with him, so he had to agree.

The matter was kept secret, and the people who knew it were limited to a few heads of the lineage, and in the early hours of one morning, the guerrilla garrison sentry suddenly found that the camp was empty and urgently reported Chen Shou.

Chen Shou knew it, but he pretended not to know and went over to see that the men and horses of Gailongquan really left overnight, and there was no one left, he sighed and said: "It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, let him go." ”

The subordinates all blew up the nest, and during these days, the Japanese kept sending planes to throw leaflets to persuade them to surrender, but they didn't expect King Gai to really lose his mind and do such disloyal and unrighteous things.

"Commander, I'm willing to take a few capable brothers and catch up and kill Gai Longquan!" Liu Xiaoyong angrily asked for his life.

"No one is allowed to move!" Chen Shou raised his voice, and then said in a low voice: "The days in the mountains are hard, if we continue to survive, we will starve to death without the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese, Lao Gai did this, but also to keep the seeds of the Jiangbei Army, the road leads to the sky, go to one side, no one should be embarrassed for anyone, and when I see Gai Longquan's team in the future, don't shoot, this little incense is still there." ”

The subordinates were silent, some wavered, and some were more convinced.

……

In mid-May 1940, more than 300 people from the Gailongquan Department left Daqingshan to surrender to the Nanjing government.

The two-and-a-half-year-long war of law and order in Jiangbei finally ended in the "victory" of the imperial army, and the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters sent a senior officer to inspect it, and the Wang government treated it with a high profile, and Wang Jingwei personally rushed to Beitai to preside over the reorganization ceremony.

If the matter is big, you have to go through the gang, saying that it is good that 8,000 people surrendered, only 300 people came, not even a fraction is enough, the king of the royal ryu was very angry, on the one hand, he hated Chen Zikun for not counting, on the other hand, he was worried about how to explain, the dispatch army and the Wang government were ready to make a big deal about this matter, and many reporters would be present at that time, and the cowhide was blown up, and everyone couldn't hang on their faces.

At the critical moment, Yan Qingyu persuaded him: "Yusang, you might as well let go of your thinking, the number of people is not enough, you can find someone to make up." ”

A word to wake up the dreamer, the king of the imperial ryu once again sighed, the wisdom of the Chinese is infinite, he is a smart person who draws inferences from one another, the next thing is much easier, borrowing a regiment of the imperial alliance army, and then pulling more than a thousand strong men, all put on military uniforms and issued empty guns without bullets, lined up on the colonel's field, emergency drills, the country strong men are not divided between left and right, and the steps are frequently wrong, but the grinding guns are not bright and light, so that they can be counted, and the scene will not be very humiliating.

The Japanese army stationed in Beitai gave a lot of help to the imperial organs, and in the past two years they shouldered the heavy task of clearing out the guerrillas, and the combat intensity was more tiring than fighting with the regular army of the Kuomintang on the front line, and even General Tian Lu was killed in battle, and in a corner of Jiangbei, it occupied the strength of a brigade of the imperial army, which made the high-level extremely angry, and later the use of the cage policy only achieved initial results, but the cost was too great, and the construction of railways, highways, and artillery towers consumed a lot of steel, cement, masonry, and manpower, except that manpower could drive the local people, everything else cost money, Japan is a country with a small territory and poor resources, and one yen is eager to be broken in half, and if the whole of China resists Japan in this way, then the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere will be a soap bubble.

Therefore, the surrender to Gailongquan not only relieved the Beitai garrison, but also relieved the base camp, and finally could save troops to do more important things, and Nanjing Wang Jingwei had just "founded" the country, and also needed a morale-boosting activity, and the two sides unanimously wanted to make this matter bigger.

The king of the royal ryu did his best, transferred 8,000 sets of military uniforms from the Shanghai quilt factory, and the remaining German-style steel helmets in the Kuomintang warehouses were also pulled in one go, tweed leggings, big scalp shoes, cowhide belts, canvas bullet belts, and Czech-made firearms.

Gai Longquan brought out more than 300 old, weak, sick and disabled, thinking that he would be subjected to all kinds of difficulties, but he didn't expect to ascend to the sky in one step, and he couldn't believe his eyes with good treatment.

"The Japanese son is really filial, and he is more attentive than serving his father." Gai Longquan sighed.

The reorganization of the troops proceeded very quickly, and by the end of May, it was almost over, when the European battlefield was full of success, and Japan's ally, Germany, bypassed the Maginot Line, beat the British and French forces to the ground, left behind tens of thousands of remnants and countless heavy equipment, and fled back to the British mainland.

Wang Jingwei and his wife Chen Bijun and his deputy Zhou Fohai went to Beitai to inspect the Jiangbei Garrison Division of the Peaceful Founding Army of the Xincheng Army.

The new mayor Xia Jingqi wore a ceremonial dress to greet him, and Wang Sanliu, the commander of the Beitai garrison, also attended the welcome ceremony with shiny saber and riding boots, but the expression on his face was a little unnatural, he was originally a person from the Xing'an Army of Manchukuo, and the completion of the garrison division would inevitably make him increasingly marginalized.

In the city hall square, colorful flags fluttered and reporters gathered, including reporters from the Nanjing Central News Agency, the Japanese Allied News Agency, and reporters from major newspapers in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Beiping, and the farthest away were reporters from Xinjing, Manchukuo.

King Ryu sat in the corner of the rostrum in a suit, quietly watching the lively scene, and his heart was very proud.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the artillerymen fired a salute, and Wang Jingwei, who was armed with a sword, personally awarded the flag of the Jiangbei garrison division to Gai Longquan, and shook hands with him cordially.

Below is the military parade, 3,000 patchwork troops are marching through the rostrum, the military uniforms are new, the leather shoes are shiny, that is, the people are stumbling, all of them are skinny, there are vegetables on their faces, the reporters are snapping photos, and suddenly a person sprang out of the ranks, raising a gun and shouting: "Shoot the traitor!" ”

The incident happened suddenly, no one reacted, and Gai Longquan pounced in front of Wang Jingwei and shouted: "Protect Chairman Wang!" ”

The assassin fired only one shot, and was subdued by the gendarmes when he pulled the bolt, and no one was injured on the rostrum, but the parade had to end hastily, and the face of the king was gloomy and dripping, but fortunately no one was killed, otherwise all his hard work would have been in vain.

Yan Qingyu was also very worried, this shot was too sudden, it was not in the plan, I don't know which stunned Qing did such a thing with his back on his back, which made everyone very passive, but then again, Gai Longquan's performance is really remarkable, he played on the spot, there was no mistake at all, if he joined the entertainment industry, he would not be able to run the crown of an actor.

The soldier involved in the case was taken away by the gendarmerie and died of poison before he could be interrogated, but his identity could not be concealed, this person turned out to be not a soldier under Gai Longquan, but a member of the Imperial Army, who was a country gambler before joining the army and owed a lot of debts.

Who masterminded, who planned, who arranged, who provided the bullets, and the clues were all interrupted with the death of the assassin, but it is self-evident who is behind the scenes, Wang Sanliu and Xia Jingqi have motives, but the parade queue is far away from the rostrum, the assassin has no military training, and his marksmanship is extremely poor, and the purpose of finding such a half-hung assassin is probably only one, that is, to disrupt the situation.

It is said that Zhou Fohai sent a message not to continue the investigation, the king of the imperial ryu was also happy to be idle, and the newspapers also received a ban on reporting, and the reorganization of the Jiangbei guerrillas into the Peaceful Founding Army finally ended perfectly.

The garrison division took over the defense of the imperial army, stationed in various artillery towers, and undertook the hard work of running out of oil and water, and did not block the financial road of the imperial army.

At the beginning of his tenure, Gai Longquan made a big move, raising troops into the mountains to crusade, in order to show his loyalty to the imperial army, he personally led a group of men and horses, and drove into Daqing Mountain, familiar with the way to find the station of the guerrillas, the two sides began to shoot at each other across a valley, and the fight was called a lively, but the muzzle of the gun was facing the sky.

The battle was very fierce, and the Peace Founding Army used heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and it took two hours to stop. ”

Not long after the puppet soldiers left a mess and withdrew, the scrawny guerrillas came over and searched for a large number of unopened canned Japanese military food on the position, which they directly pried open with bayonets and ate them, as well as thousands of bullets, 100 grenades, and 500 catties of rice, all of which were gifts left by Gai Longquan.

"This old guy didn't forget the brothers." Chen Shou sighed.

On the way back, Gai Longquan was in a good mood, and rode on a horse and sang Peking Opera: "In Cao Ying, I will treat you with kindness, get on the horse and get off the horse, and the silver beauty and red robe ......"

Suddenly, a shot came, Commander Gai shook twice, fell under the horse, and his subordinates hurriedly fired back, and the sound of gunfire like bursting beans sounded halfway up the mountainside, and the machine guns were intensive.

"It's the Eight Roads! I fell into an ambush on the Eighth Road. An officer shouted hoarsely.
