Regarding the central army's takeover of Guizhou's military and political power, the most unhappy is undoubtedly the original 'King of Guizhou' Wang Jialie. But when the Red Army crossed Chishui for the second time, almost all of Wang Jialie's descendants near Zunyi were disabled.

Hou Zhidan and others, who had not dealt with Wang Jialie before, were promoted and reused by the Central Army. Although they pressed a tight spell on their heads, these people were still happy, and felt that in Guizhou in the future, they would also be regarded as the descendants of the Central Army.

In order to motivate these Guizhou warlords, support the rule of the Central Army in Guizhou, and cooperate with this encirclement and suppression of the Red Army. In addition to giving money, the Central Army naturally also allocated some weapons and ammunition to redress these Guizhou troops.

With money and guns, it is natural to serve the Central Army. The descendants of the troops, who were afraid of waiting for the burden, also sent a division to the north bank of Chishui to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the Red Army. And in Renhuai, he still retained a division.

It's just that He Zhengdao doesn't know that the Qianjun Division stationed in Renhuai has actually been controlled by the Central Army. In the previous battle to encircle and suppress the Red Army, Hou Zhidan has been detained by the Central Army because of the defeat in the battle.

After being stationed in Moutai, He Zhengdao, who learned of this situation, immediately felt that his eyes lit up and said: "Order the first battalion to send the captured commander of the Qianjun battalion to the headquarters for me, and I will personally interrogate him." ”

There is a saying that 'a plan is better than a change', and Ho Zhengdao, who learned of this situation, ordered all battalions preparing to operate to suspend their attacks. He felt that maybe he could use this news to make the Central Army fight with the Guizhou Army.

When the battalion commander was escorted to Moutai Town, He Zhengdao looked at the battalion commander who seemed to have some military temperament and said, "How did you know this kind of news?" It stands to reason that you're just a battalion commander? ”

In response to He Zhengdao's inquiry, the commander of the Qianjun battalion quickly said: "When you attacked, I happened to go home to visit my relatives. Actually, I was a battalion commander of the newly formed 103rd Division, and my division commander was General He.

The previous time, our Chairman Wang, was defeated by your main force in Zunyi, and the Central Army bribed General He and General Bai. The remnants of our 25th Army are currently reorganized into two central divisions. And the news of Hou Zhi's detention is not a secret. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the General He and General Bai you mentioned should be the two division commanders under your Chairman Wang, right?" ’

'Yes! ’

He Zhengdao, who learned the news, also felt that Wang Jialie was unlucky enough. Not to mention that the nest was occupied, even his henchmen and cronies were rebelled by the central army. The chairman of the committee who is now going to Guiyang in person, this bribery trick is very skillful!

'Then which division is currently stationed in Renhuai?' ’

Hearing He Zhengdao's inquiry, the commander of the Qianjun battalion was stunned, and said with some surprise: "You want to fight Renhuai?" ”

'Answer my question! If you want to live, I advise you to tell me honestly what you know. ’

felt that this commander of the Qianjun battalion seemed to have a good conversation, and He Zhengdao felt that the other party should have some culture. But in this case, he is not worthy of He Zhengdao's solicitation. After all, he didn't have enough votes!

Regarding He Zhengdao's serious inquiry, the commander of the Qianjun battalion also said with a bitter face: "At present, there is actually only one main regiment of the Qianjun army in Renhuai City. The rest of the main forces of the Guizhou army are currently resting in Guiyang and Qianxi. ”

This news made Yao Shengjun and Wang Tianlin, who accompanied the interrogation, feel bright. Although it is not yet possible to confirm whether the information revealed by this guy is correct. But they all knew that if Renhuai only had one main force of the Guizhou army, it would be much easier to deal with.

In order to find out the news as soon as possible, He Zhengdao said directly: "Correspondent! Ordered the reconnaissance company to enter Renhuai City in advance for reconnaissance. Find out how many troops are currently stationed in Renhuai City. ”

'Yes! ’

The correspondent who received the order quickly issued He Zhengdao's order to the reconnaissance company. Knowing that there was only one main regiment of the Guizhou Army in Renhuai City, the four battalion commanders who were also waiting for orders also felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

Knowing the confirmation message, it will take some time. He Zhengdao stared at the commander of the Qianjun battalion and said, "What's your name?" And your background, it's best to explain them all. This will determine whether or not I give you a chance to live. ”

In the face of He Zhengdao's inquiry, the commander of the Qianjun battalion, who also looked very young, said quickly: "My name is Wu Zhefeng (provided by a book friend), a student of the second phase of the Infantry Department Teaching Regiment of Yunnan Martial Arts School.

Because I am a Renhuai person and my father also has a small amount of assets, after finishing my studies, I joined the 25th Army and served under General He. In this reorganization, I was promoted to battalion commander because of my qualifications in the martial arts school. ”

As for the Yunnan Martial Arts School mentioned by Wu Zhefeng, it was actually founded by Long Yun, the current 'King of Yunnan'. Its predecessor is the Yunnan Lecture Hall, which is known as the three major martial arts halls of the Republic of China.

According to the situation that He Zhengdao learned in later generations, the teaching group of the Yunnan Martial Arts School only ran three periods in total. Later, in order to meet the needs of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Yunnan Jiangwutang also became the fifth branch of the Central Army, and its principal was also appointed by Chairman Chiang.

He Zhengdao, who heard this answer, also looked a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect that you still came out of Yunnan Martial Arts Hall!" Speaking of which, you, Mr. Zhu and Commander Ye are also alumni. ”

Regarding He Zhengdao's words, Wu Zhefeng smiled bitterly: "The chief is serious! I respect your Mr. Zhu and Commander Ye very much, but since I have chosen to join the Qianjun, there are times when I can only act on orders.

I know that most of your Red Army officers are very hostile to us, the officers of the National Army. I just hope that you don't embarrass my family too much. If I could, I would prefer to be a businessman.

My father sent me to the Yunnan Martial Arts School in the hope that I would protect my family and defend the country. But now I am really disgusted by this kind of civil war. Just wearing this military uniform, many times I can't help myself! ”

He Zhengdao naturally agreed with these words, but he still said calmly: "If the grassroots officers of your national * army have your thoughts, we will not let the Japanese invade our three eastern provinces."

Our attitude towards the officers of the national army is not to kill them all at once. We won't do anything to your family. Now it's the Republic of China, and we, the Red Army, won't do this kind of thing.

But one thing, if you want to live, the first thing is that you can't have the blood of the Red Army on your hands. If you have the blood of my Red Army soldiers on your hands, then I can only say that you are an enemy of our Red Army. ”

As a result, Wu Zhefeng smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, since your Red Army entered Guizhou, I realized that the Guizhou Army, which had backward training equipment, was not your opponent at all. And the current situation also confirms my suspicions.

Although I have been with the troops, I have been to the Zunyi area to fight with you. It's just unfortunate that we were caught off guard by your main force. If I hadn't acted with the division headquarters at that time, I'm afraid I would have become your prisoner.

So, I really don't have the blood of your Red Army on my hands. I wouldn't want to kill any of my fellow citizens if I could. I hope that what I have learned can be used to defend my country in the future, not in the civil war! ”

Although it takes time to confirm this, He Zhengdao feels that if this guy is telling the truth, he may be able to attract the independent group. He Zhengdao was also disgusted by the civil war, but now he had to fight.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao said again: "That's it! As for the information you provided, I still need time to verify. If you're telling the truth, I'm in charge of giving you a chance to live.

It's just a talent like you, and I still don't want to let you go back. Because, I think you stay in a unit like the Qianjun, I'm afraid that you will waste some talents. So, for the time being, you can only stay in my independent regiment.

As for what you said about not liking civil wars, in fact, we don't like it either. If I could, I would like the two parties to join hands to fight against the Japanese invaders who look down on our great rivers and mountains. But the chairman of the committee did not give us such a chance.

In order to preserve our strength, and to achieve our goals and ideals, we can only fight them to the end. As for you, what choice to make in the end, I will give you some time to think about it.

Who to fight for, and why, I'm sure you'll understand after spending some time in our Independent Regiment. For the time being, you will stay in our logistics battalion and follow the arrangements of our political commissar.

In addition, you are afraid that you will not be able to return home in a short time. If there is anything you need us to convey to your family on your behalf, you can write a letter to tell them. But I advise you that it is better to tell your family about it and not to publicize it too much. ”

'Thank you, sir! I know what's heavy! Everything I say has been investigated! ’

Hearing that He Zhengdao didn't plan to kill him, Wu Zhefeng also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. But he knew that there weren't many options left for him. I can't go back to the troops, I can't see my family, I have to act with the Red Army.

This means that he was coerced by the Red Army. Once the independent regiment encounters a battle, I believe that those units of the national * army that encircled and suppressed the Red Army would not give him too many opportunities to explain! So is joining the Red Army really the right choice?
