Chapter 36 Return to Beitai
Ou Guangwu is ready to use force, the third theater is located in the hinterland of the occupied area, during the Anti-Japanese War, except for a few hard battles with the New Fourth Army, has not fought much, the troops are poorly equipped, lack of oil and water, and finally won the victory, seeing that the provincial city is in hand, a lot of gold bar tickets are at their fingertips, but they were robbed by Chen Zikun, and no one can swallow this breath.
The troops drove to the outskirts of the provincial capital, set up a checkpoint on the road, a lonely wooden house, a car parked on the side, and a dozen soldiers stood behind the barricades, all holding rifles and looking at military uniforms, which should be the men and horses of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
Ou Guangwu relied on the strength of the crowd, so he didn't send anyone to negotiate, and directly asked one to go over and disarm the other party, but he still explained: "It's better not to use force if you can." ”
The 100th person of the vanguard company rushed over directly, the other party was even more unambiguous, set up a machine gun and fired, a rain of bullets came, this side was all lying down, Ou Guangwu saw that the other party fired first, so he no longer had scruples, threw the cigarette butt, and said fiercely: "Open the cannon, hit me!" ”
Several mortars were set up, shells were fired, the huts at the checkpoint were blown to pieces, the anti-Japanese salvation army got into cars and fled in a hurry, and Ou Guangwu was proud: "Pull out!" ”
The troops continued to advance, encircling the provincial capital, choking all the roads out of the city, the soldiers began to dig trenches and fortifications, and the communications staff officers ran panting and reported: "Military seats, Gu Commander's phone. ”
Ou Guangwu took the microphone with a big grin, stepped on the car pedal with one foot, and said majestically with his waist crossed: "Sir Gu, I am Ou Guangwu, I am Ou Guangwu." ”
There was a rustling of electricity, and Chief Gu's roar came from the earpiece: "Ou Guangwu, Lao Tzu shot you!" Can you fucking not make trouble for Lao Tzu! ”
Ou Guangwu Khan came down, he couldn't help but stand upright, and his voice trembled slightly: "Sir Gu, I don't understand my humble position, please make it clear." ”
Chief Gu said: "Who asked you to shoot the Americans, injured several American soldiers, and the commission was furious, I can't protect you, you quickly withdraw the troops to the original defense, and come to see you!" ”
"Sir Gu, you have been wronged by your humble duties." Ou Guangwu was about to cry, the shelling just now actually injured the American soldiers, what is this, but judging from this reaction speed, it is definitely not fake, he hurriedly handed over the military affairs to the division commander, the rear team of the army became the front team, where did he come from, and he drove to the headquarters of the third theater of operations and asked Gu Zhutong for his guilt.
……
Chen Zikun's soldiers broke up the offensive of the 89th Army without bloodshed, and this time he took over the provincial capital, he borrowed half a platoon of American GIs from Lieutenant Colonel Chandes, and it was really good, whether it was to deter the Japanese or to deal with Ou Guangwu, it came in handy, and it was just an excuse for someone to be injured.
Chen will arrive at the airport one after another, take a car into the city, and take over the provincial government buildings, barracks, radio stations, banks, factories, warehouses, docks, and railway stations with the highest efficiency.
Chen Zikun had a whole set of teams under his hands, including the financial propaganda of the civil affairs police, and he quickly appointed officials, Yan Su was the acting provincial chairman, Zeng Jiao was still the police chief of the old bank, Gai Longquan was responsible for accepting the puppet army, Gong Zijun was responsible for receiving banking and financial institutions, and Wang Sanliu was responsible for managing Japanese prisoners.
There is also one of the most important tasks is to receive the enemy's fake assets, Chen Zikun personally took the lead, what bad things these traitors in the provincial capital have done, how much civilian wealth has been looted, Liu Youjin has an account in his hand, he remembers it clearly, according to the map, it is absolutely wrong.
A battle report came from Jiangbei, Chen Shou's troops were blocked by the Eighth Route Army outside the city of Beitai, Chen Zikun was furious when he heard the news, and almost immediately ordered the siege of the city, but he still held back, paced back and forth in the office for a few steps, and had an idea: "Let Chen Shou be stationed on the spot, and I will strive for a peaceful solution." ”
In addition to the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army, there are tons of reserve notes and fiat currency in the bank vault, but there is not a single tael of gold, and it is found that it was smuggled by the senior staff of the fake bank.
After eight years of operation by the Japanese, it has to be said that the construction of the provincial capital is good, a new bridge has been built on the Huaijiang River, there are dozens of more buildings along the street, there are electric light factories, coking plants, iron and steel factories and machinery factories in the suburbs, which can repair locomotives and produce small arms and bicycles, and many cherry trees have been planted on the maple forest road, and the scenery is very green.
Trucks roared past on the streets, loaded with heavily armed soldiers, with a white armband on their arms, on which were written "Eliminate traitors" in two red letters, this is a joint anti-traitor team formed by the Law Enforcement Department and the National Police Agency, led by local police, arresting traitors, confiscating property, and those who dare to resist are shot on the spot.
It is said that more than 300 heads collapsed in one day, and people were happy for a while.
……
Chongqing, at the end of August, it is still very hot, in the living room of the Chen Mansion, the ceiling fan is turning unhurriedly, and a group of cultural people are talking.
Lin Wenlong said: "Hurley and Zhang Zhizhong flew to Yan'an and invited Mao Zedong to Chongqing for negotiations, which is an excellent omen, the government has taken the initiative, with the heart and wisdom of the people, naturally will not refuse people thousands of miles away, Mao Zedong will definitely accept the invitation to come to Chongqing, since both sides have sincerity, the civil war can be stopped." ”
A bespectacled professor shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that someone in the government will set up a Hongmen banquet, arrest all the leaders of the world, or create a plane crash, then the civil war will be inevitable." ”
Lin Wenlong said: "Categorically not, Jiang Gong will not be so unbearable, besides, American friends will not agree, China's stability is beneficial to the United States, and a chaotic China is not what Truman and MacArthur want to see." ”
"That's right!" A person walked in outside, it was Ruan Mingchuan, a special reporter of Xinhua Daily, who smiled and said: "The latest news, Chairman Mao Zedong has accepted the invitation and flown to Chongqing." ”
There was a spontaneous applause, and the literati were overjoyed and nodded their heads at each other.
Hearing Ruan Mingchuan's voice, Yao Yilei came out of the upstairs room and said, "Reporter Ruan, I just have something to look for you, you can come up for a while." ”
Ruan Mingchuan and Yao Yilei have also been old friends for many years, and they went upstairs to the study with a smile, Yao Yilei took out a letter from the drawer and said: "This is a handwritten letter from Zikun airlifted from Jiangdong, please give it to Mr. Zhou Enlai." ”
"I will do it." Ruan Mingchuan solemnly put away the letter.
That night, Chongqing held a banquet to welcome the representatives of the peace talks from Yan'an, Zhang Zhizhong, Wang Shijie, Shao Lizi and others attended, Zhou Enlai held a wine glass and talked and laughed with them, suddenly the secretary came and whispered a few words, Zhou Enlai said to the guests that he was not accompanied, came to the door, took the envelope from the hand of a comrade of the Xinhua News Agency, took out the letter paper and read it at a glance, and said: "Okay, I know." ”
The radio waves shuttled between Chongqing and Yan'an, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army received an order, and an urgent telegram was sent to Jiangbei, and the code was translated and handed over to Wu Changqing and Ye Xuefeng.
"Commissar, what do you think?" Wu Changqing said.
"Resolutely support the decision of the Party Central Committee to withdraw from North Thailand." Ye Xuefeng Road.
Wu Changqing nodded: "The withdrawal must be withdrawn, but my opinion is whether to take a batch of accumulated materials with you when you evacuate." ”
"No!" Ye Xuefeng immediately vetoed, "If you want to withdraw, you can withdraw cleanly, and you will not take away a stitch or thread, and you will not let others pick on it." ”
Wu Changqing thought for a while, but he still reluctantly made up his mind: "Okay, I agree, but I'm afraid it's very difficult to do the ideological work of cadres and fighters, after all, the city we took was handed over to the Kuomintang, and no one could swallow this breath." ”
Ye Xuefeng said: "The military must be subordinated to political work, everything is based on the overall situation, Chen Zikun is an old friend of my party, and he can't break off the solid friendship he has built over the years for the sake of a city. ”
In the camp of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army outside the city, Shuangxi hurriedly walked into the tent: "Third brother, the Eighth Route Army has withdrawn!" ”
"What!" Chen Shou was taken aback, got out of the tent and climbed up the hill to look through the binoculars, and the large troops of the Eighth Route Army really began to evacuate, and they were lightly armed and did not take anything.
"Ye Xuefeng sent someone to invite us into the city, third brother, do you want to enter or not?" Double Happiness waited for him to come up with an idea.
"Come in, why don't you go in." Chen Shou laughed.
The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army pulled out the camp and marched into Beitai City, and only one battalion of the Eighth Route Army was left to be responsible for the handover, and the Japanese prisoners, weapons and ammunition, and factory facilities were all available, so it can be said that not a single needle was taken away.
After signing the handover order, Chen Shou asked Ye Xuefeng: "Which one are you singing?" ”
Ye Xuefeng said: "When Nantai City was down, your army let us go, and now it's time for us to return this favor, Beitai will return to its original owner, I hope you will build this city well." ”
Shuangxi said: "Where is your army going?" ”
Ye Xuefeng said: "Where did you come from, where are you going, life in a big city is not suitable for us, Commander Chen, Brigade Commander Chen, goodbye." Then he got on his horse and galloped away.
Chen Shou touched his head: "Dog's day, back and forth, go to the city gate." ”
Shuangxi said: "The Eighth Route Army will definitely not be so kind, it must be the marshal who spoke to them." ”
Chen Shou said: "It's this reason." ”
An adjutant came in and said, "Report, the bolt is outside the door." ”
Shuangxi said: "Let him in." ”
Zhu Zhu walked in and said, "Sir, I have something to ask for." ”
"This kid, what's polite, say."
"Takayoshi Hashimoto is in the prisoner camp, I want to kill him and avenge my uncle and the villagers!"
"That's hard to say, come here, take the bolt pillar to the prisoner camp to pick up people, and bring out the devil surnamed Hashimoto, whether it is cut or shot, it's up to you."
Shuangxi sent a squad of soldiers to the prisoner camp with Cheng Xuanzhu, and counted the roster first, and sure enough, there was the name of Takayoshi Hashimoto, but no one could be found, so all the prisoners were gathered on the playground to look for them one by one, and there was still no whereabouts.
"Oh no, the dog day must have slipped away when the Eighth Route Army was handed over to us!" Shuangxi slapped his thigh and said with chagrin.
At this time, Takayoshi Hashimoto was huddled on a steamer bound for the provincial capital, the air in the Odori cabin was foul and smelly, and the former gendarme Shaozo was wearing a Chinese people's cardigan coat, curled up in the corner and did not move.
