The Japanese puppet army originally stationed in Wuchang County was transferred out to encircle and suppress Li Yanping's headquarters of the Fourth Army, and the hundreds of Japanese puppet troops who had just gotten off the train were completely annihilated by Meng Qingshan. The Japanese puppet army, which represents Wuchang County, has been basically wiped out.

At this moment, there are only a few puppet Manchurian policemen left, plus more than a dozen Japanese military policemen, and the county town of Weihe is almost undefended. Meng Qingshan easily took this small county seat without any difficulty.

The only two places where Meng Qingshan faced in the county seat of Wuchang could only be described as mild resistance occurred at the railway station and the gendarmerie. The resistance of a dozen gendarmes armed only with rifles and pistols in these two places did not make Meng Qingshan much effort, and he was quickly eliminated. After clearing the last resistance in the city, Meng Qingshan issued four orders in a row. The first is to quickly rescue the captured ** people, this is an important soldier, and the Zhong ** people with firm beliefs did not surrender for the temptation of the little devils, these veterans are the troops that Meng Qingshan and the Anti-Japanese Federation are needed.

Article 2 In the name of confiscating enemy property, all Japanese shops and banks in Wuchang County were confiscated. In particular, after the September 18 Incident and the fall of the entire Northeast China, the batteries and equipment that could be used by the radio station, as well as the medicines and other materials urgently needed by the troops, were strictly controlled by Japan, and some of the money came to buy the materials we needed in large quantities.

The third is that under the leadership and identification of the arrested so-called anti-Manchu anti-Japanese personnel who have just been released from the gendarmerie and the puppet Manchu prison, the traitors and the entire Weihe county will be arrested. Article 4 ordered the propaganda team to set up a stage in the county town to perform programs and recruit soldiers. After a brief public trial, all the captured puppet Manchurian military police military personnel at the rank of lieutenant and above, the military police squad leader and above, and the section chief of the puppet Manchurian county government were all publicly executed. In particular, the few traitors who were captured by the Anti-Japanese Federation did not leave any of them.

"Division commander, you see that we actually captured a train of devils transporting ammunition and supplies to Haierbin at Wuchang Station." Qian Zhuang, who had just finished delivering the order and went to count the loot, interrupted their conversation, and handed over a stack of materials in his hand to Meng Qingshan with some excitement. "Qian Zhuang, you take someone to hurry up and clean up the supplies, and tell the brothers to count the seized materials, this is not a place to stay for a long time. According to the reaction speed of the devils, they will find out our whereabouts by tomorrow at the latest, and after cleaning up the supplies, they will rest and wait until it gets dark before setting off. After explaining the money village, Meng Qingshan turned his head to Wang Wennian on the side and said, "Huzi, you go to check it, you must pay attention to the discipline of the masses." When collecting mules, horses, and supplies, they are all purchased in cash. Forced buying and selling is not allowed. Doing a good job in mass work and strictly grasping the discipline of the masses is the basis for our survival. Therefore, we must repeatedly emphasize mass discipline with regard to the troops. ”

"Also, to show our attitude to those who are going to join the army. However, it is necessary to send people from the 10th Army to ask the comrades of the Fifth Standing Underground Party to check the gates. Those who have misdeeds should not smoke big cigarettes. In addition, it is necessary to strictly prevent enemy special elements from mixing into the troops. Our troops have a small number of personnel, especially not a single qualified political worker. You can discuss with Commander Wang and see if you can recruit some comrades from the county party committee to participate? Although he had already made preparations, Meng Qingshan was still a little lamented by the abundance of seizures in the capture of Wuchang County, and made his bold decision to attack this county town with a team of less than 500 people. In addition to the prisoners who were held on the train, the train also carried some equipment, which allowed each formed squad to have a light machine gun, and a heavy machine gun for each company, and also formed a mortar company.

After seizing this long arms train with more than 10 wagons, the degree of fullness of the troops' equipment made Meng Qingshan himself a little unbelievable, he could get such a big result, as long as there were personnel to replenish, he would immediately be able to expand the strength of a reorganized division, this is not a division of the Anti-Japanese Union, just a few dozen people, but the ace division of the regular army of the Kuomintang. According to Meng Qingshan's thoughts, these equipment, even compared with the main force of the best-equipped Central Army in the Guannai, are only strong and not weak. The only thing that made Meng Qingshan feel a little pity was that the train actually carried 500 rounds of 75-mm mountain artillery shells and 200 rounds of 150-mm heavy artillery shells. But what made Meng Qingshan angry in the car was that there were only shells and no cannons, didn't he look at it dryly?

But this batch of shells can make some fuss, Meng Qingshan touched his chin and thought. When Meng Qingshan's department had just entered the county seat of Wuchang, the common people in the city were still wearing a variety of military uniforms, including the puppet Manchurian police uniforms, the puppet Manchurian regular army uniforms, and the Japanese military uniforms were very dismissive. Most people thought it was the little devil who had won the battle again. But it was this army dressed like the little devil that quickly changed its outfit and put on the anti-coalition uniform set up by Meng Qingshan after eliminating the resistance. This made the common people, who always saw tattered clothes, see such an army for the first time, and felt very novel. In addition to the murder of those puppet Manchu military police gendarmes showed some vicious methods, this army, which only robbed the Japanese and did nothing to the rest of the people, even if it was a polite force, still aroused great interest among the local people. As soon as the battle was over, the men of the Independent Division and the Tenth Army put up banners in the middle of the county town and began to recruit troops.

In the early stage, the people gathered at the recruiting office of the Tenth Army, after all, these five permanent people are the old base of the Tenth Army, they often heard about the prestige of the Tenth Army, and Zhang Zhongxi, the deputy commander of the Tenth Army, was very happy to see the people gather over, but before his smile was put down, the crowd around them immediately ran to the opposite side. Soon the people gathered around the stage in a county town, and a beautiful female soldier in gray military uniform, represented by Li Ting, came to the stage, saluted the people, and guided everyone's thoughts to the three eastern provinces of Baishan and Heishui with a sweet voice. ”

A male soldier team interjected and chanted even more sadly, "My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China, where there are my compatriots and the aging father." Then men and women interspersed with a cry of grief and indignation: "Ninety-one-eight, ninety-one-eight, from which miserable time, I broke away from my hometown, abandoned the endless treasure, wandered, wandered, wandered all day long, which year, which month, can I return to my lovely hometown, which year, which month can I recover my endless treasure, Daddy, Daddy, when can we gather together." ”

Several ragged old people and children staggered with sticks and bowls, and appeared on the stage with desperate faces and shaking, interacting with the singing voices of the audience, and freezing in the center of the stage. The audience and the audience were deeply moved by the heart-wrenching performance effect and the melody that seemed to grab the sky and the earth in this sad, helpless, and desperate singing.

In the midst of their tears of grief, some of the common people raised their arms and shouted, "Down with Japanese imperialism," and all the people stood up and shouted, "Down with Japanese imperialism," and the hatred from the bottom of their hearts turned into anger and rushed into the sky. Next, a group of very heroic soldiers in gray military uniforms sang the military song of the independent division, so that the crowd at the scene was surrounded by a sea of people, and the recruiting office next to the platform was also very full, and a group of young people rushed to sign up for the army. This performance was very successful, so that the Independent Division of the Anti-Japanese Union received nearly 200 young people, and Zhang Zhongxi, the deputy commander of the Tenth Army on the opposite side of the stage, also stayed with a few soldiers and shouted recruiting with a gong, and told about the battle of their Tenth Army while recruiting soldiers.

Walking over, he happily patted the shoulders of the two young men and said, "The two little brothers are welcome to join our Tenth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance." "What do you say! I can't hear you?" With that, the young man turned and left. This made Zhang Zhongxi, who was already a little depressed, a little blue, and so many years of experience quickly made him suppress his unhappy thoughts, turned around and continued to look at the other young man who had not left with a smile, and before he could speak, the young man who had not left spoke.

"Look at what I'm doing, when are you leaving?"

"You're not a soldier, what are you doing here?"

"I want to wait for you to leave, and use your place to watch the show opposite, where there are so many people that I can't squeeze into, your place is high, I want to climb up to watch the show."

"Commander, do we still recruit troops?" A soldier of the Tenth Army asked Zhang Zhongxi.

"Recruit a fart, didn't you see that everyone ran to the other side, his grandmother's surname Meng was not good, I said why is he so generous to let us recruit with him, he is the stepping stone for us, I will go to him to settle accounts." After Zhang Zhongxi finished speaking, he threw the gong in his hand to the ground.
