On the day Zhang Yunfei's troops entered Datong, that is, on 28 June 1938, major newspapers across the country published the Eighth Route Army's great victory.
The news that the 136th Division of the Eighth Route Army annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, captured more than 4,000 people, and recovered Datong, an important town in northern Shanxi Province, spread all over the north and south of the river and the land of the motherland.
At this moment, whether it is the occupied area or the Guotong area, whether it is the streets and alleys, or the wine shops and teahouses, they are all talking about this great victory.
Many Chinese people saw a long-lost smile on their faces, and many troops who insisted on resisting the war saw hope.
There was also a nationwide upsurge of participation in the Eighth Route, with many people from all over the country rushing to Datong to ask to join Zhang Yunfei's troops, including workers, students, and even peasants and peddlers.
has achieved such a big response, which is also what Zhang Yunfei did not expect.
On the contrary, in the country, the annihilation of a permanent division and an elite brigade caused a great shock in the base camp.
At present, the base camp is divided into two major factions, and there is a fierce quarrel.
The young Zhuang radicals, who are mainly young and strong, believe that it is a shame to suspend the Wuhan battle plan, transfer heavy troops from the front line, and encircle and suppress Zhang Yunfei's troops.
The diehards, led by the diehards, believed that the Battle of Wuhan should be the most important thing, and that the Battle of Wuhan should be carried out first, so as to quickly destroy the Chinese political axe, and then destroy the remnants of China's resistance, including Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division.
Just when the two factions were arguing, Emperor Momoto intervened and ended the quarrel.
Emperor Momoto believed that the top priority was to prepare for the Battle of Wuhan and quickly destroy China.
Datong, the headquarters of the 136th Division, Zhang Yunfei was convening a meeting of officers above the company level.
At the meeting, Zhang Yunfei made a lot of arrangements, and Zhang Yunfei believed that after the occupation of Datong, the command center of the troops should be transferred from Xin'an County to Datong.
With regard to the garrison of the troops, Zhang Yunfei demanded that the divisional guard battalion, cavalry battalion, and artillery regiment be stationed in Datong, the first infantry regiment should be stationed in Xin'an County, the second infantry regiment should be stationed in Beiyang County, and the third and fourth infantry regiments should take the opportunity to recover the two counties around Datong and garrison these two county seats.
The anti-aircraft artillery battalion was temporarily stationed in the Huanglongxia Industrial Zone and was responsible for air defense and vigilance there.
At the same time, in the territory of Datong, some landlords who usually oppress the people and sell the country to seek glory have confiscated their property and confiscated all their property.
The more than 4,000 little devils who were captured, except for the officers above the rank of junior assistant, were all used to do coolies, and the development of the base areas in the future required a large amount of labor, and these little devils could just be used to engage in heavy physical work such as road construction and mining.
As for the officers above the rank of Shaozuo, including the commander of the Fifth Division, An Tengliji, who was captured alive, Zhang Yunfei was ready to carry out a public execution in front of the common people.
On July 7, 1938, the first anniversary of the official outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Datong City ushered in a special day.
Today, hundreds of little devil officers and big Han Xia Gong will be publicly executed in the northwest of the city.
In the morning, hundreds of little devil officers to be executed were firmly tied up by the soldiers with five-flower ties, tied together with ropes, and paraded along the streets of Datong City.
At the front of the list is the devil lieutenant general An Teng Liji, followed by the Han Jian Xia Gong, and then behind are hundreds of little devils Dazuo, Zhongzuo and Shaozuo.
The idea of street parade was conceived by Zhang Yunfei, the people of Datong City, since the fall of Datong in September last year, have been oppressed by the little devils for almost a year, and many people's relatives have been killed by the little devils, and many people hate the little devils to the core.
It is just to take advantage of this opportunity to let the people vent, and at the same time, it can also improve the prestige of the Eighth Route Army in the hearts of the people, and it can also hit the arrogance of Xiao Yueben.
At this time, on both sides of the street where the procession is going to pass, a large number of ordinary people gathered, when the little devil team who was tied up by the five flowers appeared, many people threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs on the head of the little devil, and hundreds of little devils were very embarrassed, and their heads were full of debris thrown by the common people.
Some ordinary people even stepped forward and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the little devil's face, and when they saw someone going up to spit, the surrounding people would let out a burst of cheers.
After a morning of marching, almost all the streets in Datong City were toured.
After touring the streets, the little devil was escorted to the west of the city by the soldiers.
In an open field in the west of the city, the soldiers had already set up a platform according to Zhang Yunfei's request, and a vacant land of thousands of square meters was left in front of the platform.
On the platform, Zhang Yunfei and other high-ranking members of the 136th Division sat down, and ten special combat team members were scattered around, responsible for vigilance and security.
Just as everyone was waiting excitedly, the crowd in front of them was scratching, and after a while, everyone took the initiative to get out of the way, and the soldiers escorted the hundreds of little devil officers into the open space in front of the stage.
At this time, the little devil officers had long lost their previous arrogance, and most of them were pale and trembling.
Seeing the bear-like appearance of hundreds of little devil officers below, Zhang Yunfei was very satisfied, basically meeting his own requirements, Zhang Yunfei just wanted to let everyone see that the once invincible little devil is also afraid of death, and in the face of death, like ordinary people, he is also very afraid of death.
First of all, the political commissar Fang Zheng read out the verdict, and the more than 100 little devil officers and the big Han Jian Xia Gong were sentenced to death and immediately executed.
The first to be executed were dozens of devils Shaozuo, these dozens of devils were lined up, kneeling on the ground, facing the common people, and behind each little devil stood a soldier of the Eighth Route Army.
Every soldier of the Eighth Route Army was holding a rifle with a good bullet, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the back of the little devil's head.
Seeing that he was ready, Zhang Yunfei gave the order for the execution.
After a burst of "bang, bang, bang" gunshots, these dozens of devils and young people all went to see their Amaterasu.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people suddenly cheered and began to shout, long live China, long live the Eighth Route Army.
Several reporters who were watching the execution saw this scene and pressed the shutter of the camera again and again to film this scene.
The rest of the little devil officers, seeing that dozens of little devil Shaozuo were already dead on the ground, their eyes were full of fear, and a few of them even began to faint in fright.
The seventy-year-old man Jian Xia Gong also rolled his eyes in fright, his face turned pale, and he fell straight to the ground.
The commander of the Fifth Division, Antengliji, was so frightened that he was incontinent and emitted a foul smell.
Looking at the ugliness of the little devil, Zhang Yunfei pursed his lips disdainfully, thinking of it, what about his grandmother's shame, and the lieutenant general of the army?
In order to completely crack down on Antenliji, Zhang Yunfei executed the devil Shaozuo, and then shot the devil Zhongzuo and Dazuo, and finally began to execute Antengliji.
When the executing soldier stood behind Antengi with his gun, pulled the bolt, and pressed the muzzle of the gun against the back of Antengliji's head, ready to shoot.
In the surrounding crowd, I don't know who shouted "bang" mischievously, and Antenliji, who heard the sound of "bang", fell to the ground crookedly and weakly.
The soldier who was executing hurriedly leaned down and checked it, only to find that the little devil lieutenant general was scared to death.
