[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 399: Death Mingzhi (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

While he was talking, suddenly a combat staff officer hurriedly walked in, and then whispered a few words in Yang Chengwu's ear, as if he was reporting something.

Everyone was speculating about what was going on, and the combat staff officer needed to report at the meeting, but they heard Yang Chengwu say in horror: "What, why did he commit suicide?" ”

"This one hasn't been investigated yet."

"Investigate now!"

After the combat staff officer went out, Ma Zheng immediately asked: "I heard you just now mean that someone committed suicide, who is it?" ”

Yang Chengwu immediately said: "Just now there was a call from the field hospital, saying that Huang Yuhu, the commander of the second battalion of the second regiment, committed suicide by swallowing a bomb while recuperating from his injuries, and is now being rescued!" ”

Jiang Hao, who had just reported the situation, suddenly burst into tears when he heard this, and said loudly: "It is said that the sky is falling and I am the head of the regiment, why don't you listen?" ”

Ma Zheng asked in a deep voice, "Head Jiang, do you know the reason why Huang Yuhu committed suicide?" ”

Jiang Hao wiped his tears, and then said: "Report to the commander, I know, it is still related to the shooting of the people two days ago." ”

"Tell me, what does it have to do with this?" Ma Zheng immediately asked.

Jiang Hao calmed down his grief and indignation, and then said: "Since that kid would rather die than affect us, then I will also say it bluntly, in fact, the order to shoot at the common people was not issued by the regimental headquarters of our Second Regiment, but the decision made by the commander of the Second Battalion himself. ”

"What, it's Huang Yuhu's order?" Yang Chengwu and the others asked in surprise.

"Well, I only found out about this after the fact. On the one hand, due to the urgency of the situation at that time, as a front-line commander, Huang Yuhu had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise after the civilians approached the trenches, the Japanese would inevitably detonate the explosives on their bodies, and the entire defense line would inevitably collapse at that time. The second is that Huang Yuhu doesn't want us to be embarrassed by the higher departments, whether such a thing is reported to the regiment headquarters or the brigade headquarters, or even the division headquarters, it is difficult for us people to make a decision, after all, no matter what the reason, it is not right to shoot at the people, so Huang Yuhu personally ordered the soldiers under his command to shoot. ”

"Then why do you have to admit that you gave the order?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"Commander, this matter is an unsolvable problem, and it is a test for everyone in front of it. Huang Yuhu didn't embarrass us higher-ups, he took all the blame himself, and as his immediate boss, how could I bear to watch him be imprisoned or even tried. What's more, in this battle, Huang Yuhu took the lead, fought desperately with the Japanese, was seriously injured and could not get out of the line of fire, and when he arrived at the field hospital, the whole person was already in shock, he is our hero! I didn't expect this kid to be so strong that he actually swallowed a bomb and committed suicide! Speaking of this, Jiang Hao burst into tears again.

Everyone in the entire conference room was silent, and the truth of the matter turned out to be like this, which was indeed unexpected by everyone, including Ma Zheng himself.

He thought that the matter was like that reported by the 93rd Division, but he didn't expect that there were so many inside information, and these internal information were so moving. The battalion commander did not want to embarrass the regiment commander and the brigade commander, and gave the order knowing that he might suffer the most severe punishment, and the regiment commander preferred to carry the black pot himself in order to protect the battalion commander, and even was imprisoned.

But if you think about it, there always seems to be something wrong, yes, judging from this incident, the battalion commander is undoubtedly innocent and wronged, and the regiment commander is not wrong, he is doing his best to protect a subordinate who has been misunderstood or even wronged, in addition to the hateful Japanese, it seems that there is also a role to act as a villain, that is, he is the commander.

Thinking of this, Ma Zheng slapped the table, got up and said, "Don't open it, let's go, go to the field hospital!" ”

The field hospital of the 93rd Division is in the city, and it is not very far from the division headquarters, just a ten-minute walk.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the field hospital, I saw that many soldiers were gathering, many of them were even crying, and many more were crying silently.

Seeing Ma Zheng and others coming from a distance, the soldiers immediately surrounded them, and a young man with a wound on his face pushed everyone away, walked to Ma Zheng's side step by step, and then knelt down with a plop, and then cried and said: "Commander, you can be regarded as coming, our battalion commander should not die!" ”

The young man in front of him, Ma Zheng, knew that he was a member of the second batch of grassroots officer training classes, and he was also in this battalion.

"Get up, come with me to see your battalion commander!" Ma Zheng said.

When the group came to the rescue room, they saw that the door of the rescue room was open, and the doctors and nurses were all standing outside the door, and their eyes were red.

Ma Zheng knew that it might be too late, and sure enough, when he walked into the emergency room, he found that the operating table had been covered with a white cloth, which was a sign that the wounded had died.

Pulling open the white cloth, Ma Zheng saw this rough-looking man, just now in the conference room when Jiang Hao told him the name Huang Yuhu, Ma Zheng didn't think of who it was, but seeing this face, Ma Zheng suddenly got on the number, and the impression of this guy Ma Zheng was still very deep, I remember that this guy came to the Eighth Route Army with more than 1,500 people, but when he learned that Ma Zheng appointed him as a main battalion commander, he was not happy, and he had to be the regiment commander.

And this incident only happened half a year ago, but I didn't expect to meet again half a year later, and Ma Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

At the same time, Ma Zheng's eyes also turned red, and then he said softly: "Huang Erhu, why are you bothering? It's the same for everyone in that situation, and it's not your fault, you're doing the right thing. We will not blame you, and all the Chinese will not blame you, this account and this blood debt should be borne by the Japanese, and it is not worth it for you to do so. ”

Then Ma Zheng said again: "I know that you are sad and feel sorry for those innocent people, but being born in this troubled world is the greatest sorrow, and no one is innocent in this troubled world, because you were born in this troubled world." ”

As he spoke, a doctor in a white coat came over, handed a letter to Ma Zheng, and said, "Commander, this was found from the pocket of Battalion Commander Huang, and the signature on it is for you to open it personally!" ”

Ma Zheng took the letter, opened it and took out two pieces of paper from it, the content was very simple, that is, he told what happened that day, which was more detailed than Jiang Hao's. In the letter, Huang Yuhu took all the responsibility on himself, and hoped that Ma Zheng would not hold the head of the regiment Jiang Hao responsible. At the same time, I hope that Ma Zheng can one day return to the Northeast with a million heroes and save 30 million people from the iron hooves of the Japanese devils.

After reading the letter, Ma Zheng was silent. Although Huang Yuhu did not mention it in the letter, Ma Zheng could feel that he cared about the honor of the Suicha Military Region very much, and committed suicide not only to correct Jiang Hao's name, but also to defend the reputation of the 93rd Division and the Suicha Military Region with his own life.

Although this incident is essentially a sin made by the Japanese, it is those brutes who have lost their bottom line as human beings and as soldiers. But in any case, no one can change the fact that it was the Eighth Route Army that shot at its own people. People may morally approve of the Eighth Route Army's approach, but emotionally they will never believe in and support the Eighth Route Army as much as before, and there will even be some pedantic people like guardians who will jump out and bombard Ma Zheng and the Eighth Route Army.

As hard as this result is, this is the reality, and the reality is so cruel. Obviously, Huang Yuhu thought of this, so he didn't ask his superiors for instructions from the beginning, he knew that this matter was an unsolvable situation, whoever came was the same, the most rational choice was the most ruthless approach, instead of being ordered by Jiang Hao, the regiment commander or Yang Chengwu, the division commander, it was better to be ordered by him, a small battalion commander, even if someone was held accountable in the end, it was enough for him, the front-line commander, to take responsibility and explain to everyone, from the beginning he had the meaning of dying to make his will clear.
