Chapter XXXIV

Ye Xuefeng single-handedly entered the tiger's den, with his fearless spirit to impress Hashimoto Takayoshi, the Japanese army in North Thailand surrendered, saw the white flag raised over the turret, Wu Changqing let out a sigh of relief, put down the binoculars, and ordered the troops to enter the city.

3,000 Japanese soldiers gathered on the large playground, the officers handed over their sabers, the soldiers piled their weapons into a hill, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were on guard all around, strictly preventing anyone from jumping over the wall if they were unwilling to fail, but the strange thing was that so many Japanese soldiers had guns and cannons, ammunition, food and grass were sufficient, and the emperor really surrendered with a word, and no one had the intention of resisting.

Seeing the former invaders hanging their heads, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were happy in their hearts, and the people of Beitai heard that the devils had surrendered, and they all poured into the streets to jump and jump, and the sound of firecrackers came and went, which was more lively than the New Year.

The Japanese expatriates who had been superior in the past were huddled at home, the doors were closed and they did not dare to come out, the imperial army surrendered, their umbrella was gone, for fear that the angry Chinese would tear them to pieces.

The puppet soldiers were panicked, although they had long expected this day, but they didn't expect that it was the Eighth Road that came to receive it, and their private relationship with the Eighth Road was not good, seeing that the catastrophe was coming, the little wife of the official with gold and silver treasures took the opportunity to slip away, and the soldier threw away the gun, picked up the military uniform, and ran away, and there was also the master who was unwilling to fail, and wanted to go out of the city as bandits with dozens of brothers, but was shot by the Eighth Route Army for a while, and all of them were killed on the street.

Takayoshi Hashimoto finally met the legendary old opponent, Wu Changqing, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, the Chinese army is strong and strong, and there are many people.

"Your Excellency, I would like to say a few words to the soldiers, is that okay?" Takayoshi Hashimoto.

"Please." Wu Changqing's expression was serious, polite and courteous.

Takayoshi Hashimoto stepped onto the stage and said with great pain: "Soldiers, Japan has surrendered, we have been defeated, and we are enemies of the whole world, we cannot win, I hope everyone can return home safely and reunite with their wives and children......

With a "snap" shot, Hashimoto was shot in the thigh and fell to the ground on the spot.

The Japanese troops on the playground were in an uproar, but the discipline was still there, all of them lay down, no one ran around, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were in charge of guarding quickly locked on the person who fired the gun and restrained him.

Wu Changqing's face was pale, and he asked the health team to treat Hashimoto's injuries and Ye Xuefeng to deal with this emergency seriously.

The murderer was Cheng Xuanzhu, he sneaked into the city and ambushed on the roof of the building, hit Takayoshi Hashimoto five hundred meters away, and when he was about to fire the second shot, a stinky man delayed the big thing and was caught by the patrol, he did not resist and was calmly restrained.

Ye Xuefeng interrogated the bolt pillar, he first asked people to untie the rope, handed him a glass of water, and asked him: "Bolt pillar, was it you who shot the bolt?" ”

"It's me."

"Dog's shot is quite accurate, and he can shoot from a mile away, which is worthy of being a spy company."

"Political Commissar Ye, my marksmanship was not learned in the spy company, but was practiced in the mountains."

Ye Xuefeng smiled: "Tie Zhu, the devil surrenders and is a prisoner, our Eighth Route Army does not want to kill prisoners, do you know?" ”

Bolt Zhu said: "I know, but I am not the Eighth Route Army, I want to avenge my father, my uncle, and hundreds of villagers in our village." ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "The Chengjiazhai tragedy, I know, I can't wait to slash Hashimoto, but discipline and policy don't allow me to do this, and I don't allow you to destroy the overall situation, if you kill Hashimoto, you will trap the Eighth Route Army in injustice, do you understand?" ”

Zhu Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Understood." ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "Okay, you can go." ”

Zhu Zhu wondered: "You don't cure my sin? ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "What are you guilty of, it's just that this shot was not at the right time, don't worry, Hashimoto can't escape justice punishment, he is a war criminal, and we will try him." ”

The messenger came in and reported: "Political commissar, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is coming, and the commander tells you to go over immediately." ”

Ye Xuefeng's heart sank, he still came, he patted the shoulder of the bolt pillar: "The battle is not over yet, if you want to join the Eighth Route Army, you are welcome at any time." ”

After that, he put on his military hat and hurried to the temporary command post, the Japanese flag on the wall had just been torn off, and the interior still maintained its original style, with wooden floors, tatami mats, and screens, Wu Changqing stood in front of the map thoughtfully.

"Lao Wu, the Kuomintang came very quickly." Ye Xuefeng walked in.

Wu Changqing smiled heartily: "It's better to come quickly than to come by chance, after all, they are one step late, I have already made the troops ready for battle, and the soft and hard ones will be accompanied to the end." ”

Outside the city, the troops of a brigade of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were in a murderous spirit, staring at each other, mortars and heavy machine guns had already been erected, and the troops were squatting in the field eating canned food.

Chen Shou was so angry that he smoked, walked around, stomped the cigar under his feet, and scolded: "The Eight Roads are really not exquisite, isn't this a interception!" No, I have to talk to them, Double Happiness, you go in and tell them to get out of the way, or we'll start fighting. ”

Shuangxi is now a colonel and brigade commander, a general of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, he personally went out and rode into the city in a jeep, found Wu Changqing and Ye Xuefeng to negotiate, asked them to evacuate, and handed over the prisoners and the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army.

"I'm sorry, we've already received it." Wu Changqing said.

"The supreme authorities ordered the Eighteenth Army and the newly formed Fourth Army to stand by in place, who let you go out without authorization? You are disobedient, you know no! Double Happiness asked aggressively.

Ye Xuefeng said: "We are under the order of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and we will surrender nearby, Beitai has always been the scope of our army's activities, and we came first, your army must always pay attention to the first come, then come." ”

Shuangxi said: "You tell me to come first and come first, okay, let me tell you, Beitai was built by our Commander-in-Chief Chen himself, and this city is ours." ”

Ye Xuefeng sneered: "Beitai is built brick by brick by brick by working people, and it has nothing to do with a specific person. ”

Shuangxi said: "If you don't leave, are you ready to fight?" ”

Wu Changqing said: "Listen to it." ”

When passing by the playground, he saw that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was fiddling with the trophies, which were more than a dozen Type 92 infantry guns, the secret passage was not good, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangbei Column has always been good, coupled with sufficient Japanese weapons, this battle may not be able to be won.

Coming back to report to Chen Shou, the scouts also heard the intelligence of the Eighth Road, this time the Jiangbei Column was dispatched by the whole army, plus the county brigade, the district team, the martial arts team, etc., there were more than 10,000 people, occupying an absolute advantage.

"This battle is not easy to fight, send a telegram, please ask the commander-in-chief." Chen Shou mourned.

……

In the south of the Yangtze River, the large army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was marching in the fields, the team was winding for several miles, like a long snake, Chen Qilin was standing on a small hill in an American-style military shirt, looking at the troops with binoculars, full of ambition, suddenly a motorcycle came galloping, and the signal corps reported: "Military seat, the 89th Army is blocking the road in front and will not let us pass." ”

The 89th Army is a unit in the third theater of operations, and the army commander Ou Guangwu is a favorite general under Gu Zhutong, and has a bad relationship with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

The other side has long been in full position, digging trenches, setting up machine guns, and there is an artillery regiment in the rear, which clearly shows that it is going to fight a big battle.

Ou Guangwu and Chen Qilin are alumni of the Whampoa Military Academy, but they are one year lower, and at this time they smiled and said: "I don't know that Brother Qilin is here, and I am really sorry, but the wind blew you here?" ”

Chen Qilin sneered: "The district commander is polite, you put so many troops here, isn't it just to prevent me?" ”

Ou Guangwu said: "Where is it, our unit is stationed here on the orders of the highest authorities to prevent the New Fourth Army from receiving enemy puppets. ”

Chen Qilin said: "Our department is not the New Fourth Army, what are you doing to stop us?" ”

Ou Guangwuqi said: "Why is the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army here? Commander Gu clearly has a telegraphic order, all local armed forces are stationed on the spot, and they are not allowed to act without authorization? ”

As he spoke, he took out Gu Zhutong's warrant and showed it complacently.

Chen Qilin gritted his teeth in anger, he also graduated from Huangpu with dignity, and he actually became a miscellaneous army.

"The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is a pilot of US military aid, and the Sino-US coalition army, how can it be a local armed force? Open your eyes and see, is there such a place where there is arming? Chen Qilin pointed to his guards and shouted.

His guards drove four jeeps, all wearing khaki uniforms and high military boots, wearing steel helmets, carrying carbines and submachine guns, chewing gum in their mouths, and looking at the brothers of the 89th Army, they were still coarse cloth uniforms, canvas bullet belts, leggings cloth shoes, medium formal rifles, yellow muscles and thin faces, and untidy military appearance.

Ou Guangwu said with a smile: "Brother Qilin, to put it bluntly, don't you just want to rush to take over the provincial capital?" I'm sorry, brother, I was ordered by Shangfeng, no one is allowed to pass, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, it's useless for you to say anything, either you send a telegram now and ask the principal to give an order in person, or you lead troops to attack, brother, I will accompany you to the end. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qilin had no choice but to brush his sleeves away, and several jeeps drove away with smoke and dust, and Ou Guangwu sneered: "Fight with me, you are inferior." ”

The staff officer stepped forward and said, "Junzao, they won't really fight, the brothers can't resist." ”

Ou Guangwu said: "He dares, fight here, and Chief Gu over there will sue the commission, remove him from his post, and punish him." ”

The staff officers all laughed.

Ou Guangwu looked at the south, and secretly said in his heart, I don't know if the eldest brother will rush to the provincial capital.

His eldest brother, Ou Guangyan, is the Jiangdong receiving commissioner appointed by the highest authorities, and at this moment he is rushing to the provincial capital with a battalion of men and horses to accept surrender before everyone else, collect Japanese weapons and munitions, reorganize the puppet army, and establish a regime.

Outside the city of Jiangdong Province, the convoy was moving, and Ou Guangyan sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's been more than ten years, and it's changed a lot." ”

"Dad, this time to receive Jiangdong, it's a big achievement." Ou Guangyan's son, Ou Jinbao, was dressed in a major uniform, sitting majestically on the side, wearing a tweed military uniform on a hot day, but he was not lightly covered, and his fat head was full of sweat.

"Well, that's nature." Ou Guangyanzhi was full of pride, squinted in front of him, and the scenes from fifteen years ago came to mind, Chen Zikun, Lao Tzu is back.

A roar came overhead, and several transport planes flew low at altitude, and the blue sky and white sun on the wings were very eye-catching.

"Daddy, plane!" Ou Jinbao is rare and strange, pointing to the sky and shouting.

Ou Guangyan wondered in his heart, who would be on the plane?
