Chapter 338: Not Leaving This Time!
Looking at the Eighth Route Army that rushed into Zuoyun City from the side one after another, the puppet army in the city that cooperated with the battle seemed to feel it. The little devil who frightened them in the past seems to be the same thing today, and it seems to be easy to kill.
It's just that compared to the excitement of ordinary soldiers, Zhu Dachang and these officers know that today they can capture the South Gate so quickly, and the role of Captain Qin's group of people should not be underestimated. The marksmanship of these people amazed Zhu Dachang and others.
Especially the soldier who was carrying a rifle with a scope, almost every bullet would take the life of a little devil. It is the accurate marksmanship of these people that makes the little devil's machine gun impossible to fire at all.
If not, they would have to pay an unbearable price if they wanted to open the gates smoothly. No matter how the troops, once the casualty figure increases, the morale of the military will be low, and the same is true for the little devils.
In terms of numbers, Zhu Dachang and they have a clear advantage. In terms of marksmanship, the marksmanship of Captain Qin and these people is even more accurate than that of the little devils. In this case, the little devil guarding the south gate can only watch the city gate being opened.
The commander of the first regiment of the second division, who was standing at the headquarters outside the city, looked at the first battalion that rushed into the city and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, the first battalion has rushed in!" Command the artillery units and start to stop the shelling. For the rest, it's up to the battalion! ”
As the first battalion successfully entered the city, the stubborn enemy at the south gate was quickly cleared, leaving a company commander to take over the city gate. Zhu Dachang seemed to know that at this time, he should follow the Eighth Route Army to beat the water dogs.
It is never a bad thing to make more meritorious contributions!
'Well, since you are willing to fight with us, let's do it together!' Commander of a battalion, bother to give them some bullets! ’
Hearing Zhu Dachang's invitation to fight, Captain Qin did not refuse their wishes, and directly told the commander of the first battalion who rushed into the city. As the company commander of the regimental reconnaissance company, Captain Qin and these battalion commanders are naturally old acquaintances.
As boxes of bullets were disassembled, many of the puppet soldiers who had run out of bullets each received ten more bullets and began to cooperate with the first battalion to carry out the clearing of the other three city gates. Under this kind of two-sided attack, the Japanese army defending the city can also be said to be defeated one after another.
By the time the main forces of the remaining three battalions of the first regiment also entered the city one after another. The first battalion had already taken the lead and attacked the Japanese barracks that had been baptized by artillery fire. The little devils in it also didn't last long.
Looking at the Japanese captain who was directly killed in the room, Zhu Dachang scolded hatefully: "It's cheap, this little devil!" ”
On the other hand, Captain Qin said, "It's a pity! Battalion Commander Zhu, now you will lead the team to cooperate with us and find out all the squires who are doing things for the little devils! Who is good and who is bad among these people, I believe you also have the bottom in your heart, right? ”
'Yes, please rest assured, Captain Qin. Who of these people has done the most evil, and my old Zhu also has an account in his heart. My platoon commander's family was sold by these guys. Damn, now it's my turn to settle this account with them. ’
During the period of siege, many family members of the puppet army were also poisoned by the little devils. But there are also many puppet soldiers who are very smart, and let their families leave Zuoyun City in advance and go to the nearby countryside to temporarily avoid the sword soldiers.
Such a small abacus undoubtedly allowed the families of these people to escape. The squires who are still trapped in the city at the moment are really not very good to talk about. But Zhu Dachang also knows that at this time, he can't casually refer to the deer as a horse.
Since Captain Qin asked him to lead the way, Zhu Dachang also knew. After today's incident, he and his subordinates can only die with the little devil from now on. It can even be said that they will not even have a chance to surrender to the little devils in the future.
As the gunfire in the city gradually subsided, many squires who were hiding at home and shivering, as well as traitors of the puppet government, were pulled out of their homes by the Eighth Route Army. As for their property, it was naturally confiscated in boxes.
The traitors who were afraid of the most heinous crimes were also imprisoned by the Eighth Route Army. When the time is right, these people will be taken to the execution ground for public trial, and finally they will be sentenced to death one by one in front of the people.
For such an ending, many traitors watched the Eighth Route Army enter the door, and their legs were already weak. Even if some people feel wronged, they don't want to be traitors with the little devils. But if you have done iniquity, you should pay the debt of your life.
As for these people, what punishment will be imposed in the end, there will also be the staff of the relevant border district government to deal with it. However, the arrest and seizure of their property will be the responsibility of the 2nd Division and 1st Regiment that attacked Zuoyun City.
These seized materials and property will also be escorted back to Yulin City one after another. And this city, from now on, will be under the control of the border district government. The entire territory of Zuoyun will also be included in the base defense area of the independent column.
The people who had fled from Zuoyun City before heard the sound of gunfire coming from the city this time. Although there were some surprises that the Eighth Route Army dared to attack the city during the day, as the gunfire subsided, the people were also curious about who would win.
While the people were watching, the guerrillas who had recently patrolled Zuoyun City soon came to the village and said, "Folks, the main force has successfully captured Zuoyun City, and now it needs manpower to help carry supplies.
In addition, I told the villagers good news that this time the main force captured Zuoyun and would not go back in the future. From now on, we will also become a liberated area, and in the future, the villagers will no longer have to worry about the little devils going to the countryside to collect grain and sweep. ”
Upon hearing this, the people of the village were very happy and said, "Captain Liu, is the Eighth Route Army really not leaving this time?" ”
'Well, don't go!' Earlier, I learned from the main force that this time the large army will not leave. In the future, there will be a main force stationed in Zuoyun City. The little devil wants to capture Zuoyun again, unless he defeats our main force first.
And soon after, Zuo Yunhui will establish a democratic anti-Japanese government, and as long as everyone works hard in the future, I believe that good days will come soon. The good news is that the force should be expanded by then.
Lao Li, those two boys in your family, if the two of you are willing, you can send one to the army. Although the Eighth Route Army does not pay now, it also gives out a lot of things during the New Year's holiday, and there are brand new cotton clothes to wear.
If your kid fights for luck, he may be able to become an official and a half-post in the main army in the future. When the time comes, your family will have a better life. In short, in the future, we no longer have to worry every day, afraid that the little devils will enter the village. ’
A situation like this is staged in the countryside around Zuoyun City. As the guerrilla squads were mobilized one after another, many people came to Zuoyun City to help clean up the battlefield and carry supplies in the drizzle and cold wind.
Although there will be troops stationed here, some supplies still need to be transported. When the people arrived, they looked at the traces of guns and cannons everywhere in the city, and they also knew that the previous battle was still quite fierce.
It's just that after many people entered the city, they were a little surprised to see those puppet soldiers and said, "Why weren't these two dogs killed?" ”
The puppet army who heard this felt a little unbearable on his face. can think of the fact that earlier, they accompanied the little devils to the countryside to sweep, and it is natural for the people to hate them.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the side all received orders from their superiors. Hearing the people's inquiry, he said with a smile: "Folks, they still helped a lot with Zuoyun City today.
Even in the previous battle with the little devils, they had killed quite a few people. When everyone makes mistakes, for those who owe the blood debt to the people, our Eighth Route Army will definitely punish them severely.
In addition, after a while, the villagers can come to the city to watch the public trial organized by the anti-Japanese government. Many of these puppet soldiers are hard-working people. Now that they know that they are wrong, they also ask the villagers to give them a chance to mend their ways. ”
The explanation of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army made these puppet soldiers feel warm in their hearts. It's just that many people think that even the cotton clothes on their bodies are very warm. But if they had a choice, they would rather change into the cotton clothes of the people.
On the other hand, many people entered the barracks and began to clean up the collapsed houses after the shelling, looking at the corpses piled up in the playground. I was a little startled, but I still felt very relieved.
Especially when I saw that those who died were still little devils, the people spat from afar, as if they wanted to spit out the resentment against the little devils in their hearts. It's just that when they saw the sacrificed Eighth Route Army and the puppet army, the people were more full of respect for the former.
Regarding this situation, Zhu Dachang, who was still standing with Captain Qin and organizing the cleaning of the barracks, suddenly said: "Captain Qin, my old Zhu has a request, and I hope that Captain Qin can help talk to your chief, okay?" ”
'Camp Commander Zhu, please speak! ’
As the previous soldiers of the Eighth Route Army said, this time Zuoyun City was able to capture smoothly, and this puppet army brigade really helped a lot. The puppet army, which originally numbered thousands of people, lost nearly 400 people when it completed the recovery of Zuoyun City.
More than 200 of them were wounded, and such bravery was that even the commander of the regiment who entered the city was also very surprised. In a sense, some people have too much pent-up anger in their hearts, and the combat power that erupts is unimaginable.
I am afraid that Zhu Dachang was also injured in the arm, seeing that the other party was so desperate to help, Captain Qin and the soldiers of the regiment, who originally despised them, quickly dispelled a lot, and were willing to say something good for them.
'Captain Qin, what do you do with me next, my old Zhu won't say anything. But these brothers of mine all followed me to the little devil, and now they are also obeying my orders, and finally died in the battle with the little devil.
If you are buried in the future, can you give them a change of uniform? I don't dare to ask them to change into your military uniform, can you let them be buried in the military uniform of the Jin Sui Army? This is the only thing I, the battalion commander, can do for them. ’
Perhaps at this moment, Zhu Dachang also really realized that the pseudo-military uniform was very eye-catching. His request to change his military uniform for burial did surprise Captain Qin. Even though Captain Qin wanted to agree, he knew that he needed to ask his superiors for instructions.
Perhaps only after experiencing the trials of life and death will you truly know that sometimes death is not terrible. What is really terrible is that when you are alive, you feel that life is better than death! (To be continued.) )
