Chapter 35 The Flag in Front of the Provincial Building

Three Air Force C47 transport planes flew over the provincial airport, Chen Zikun looked down at the provincial city at his feet, and his heart was full of emotion, eight years, the Anti-Japanese War was finally won, and he finally came back.

The Japanese army has received a notice from the Third Theater Command that it is not allowed to surrender to the armed forces, and is on standby, waiting for the national army to come to receive it, so when the blue sky and white day transport plane appeared in the air, the airport personnel immediately emptied the runway and lined up to greet them.

The plane landed in a row, and more than 100 heavily armed soldiers came out of the cabin, dressed in an American style, and a dozen or so soldiers led by the plane, who were even more serious US troops, and the troops immediately took over the airport and seized the guns of the airport defenders.

Chen Zikun got off the plane, looked around, the airport has already changed, it was just a flat land back then, it was built into a modern airport bit by bit, after eight years of occupation by the Japanese, the airport was expanded even bigger, and the hangar and higher tower were repaired, the flagpole was bare, and the plaster flag had already been lowered.

Leaving a squad to guard the airport, Chen Zikun took the rest of the soldiers into the provincial capital, riding the requisitioned Japanese truck, the convoy drove to the central street, Chen Zikun ordered to stop, all got off, sorted out the military appearance, a big soldier raised the national flag and walked in the front, followed by a military band composed of 30 people, while playing the "Three ** Righteous Songs" while advancing forward, and then a small army led by Chen Zikun, lined up in a double column, and drove into the provincial capital on foot.

On the streets at noon, a small army with the blue sky and white sun flag suddenly appeared in the provincial capital, which immediately attracted the attention of the common people, and the news of Japan's surrender had already spread, but seeing the Chinese army appear in front of them with their own eyes, this kind of shock was still unparalleled, and people cheered in oblivion, and many people spontaneously followed behind the team, and marched towards the center of the city.

Central Street, doors and windows on both sides of the road are fully opened, citizens hang out the national flag, light firecrackers, the street is noisy, the sound of military music is covered by cheers, although there is only a small army, but in the hearts of the people, it is equal to thousands of troops, the war of resistance is finally won, people can finally raise their eyebrows.

In front of the troops marching to the provincial government building, Liu Youjin, the puppet provincial chairman, led the civil servants and police to greet me, and Chen Zikun stepped forward to shake hands with me: "Lao Liu, you have suffered. ”

Liu Youjin couldn't stop the old tears, the enemy camp had been in the camp for eight years, endured humiliation and burdens, and was waiting for this moment.

"Commander-in-chief, please come in." Liu Youjin said on one side.

"Wait, there's another ritual." As soon as Chen Zikun stretched out his hand, the orderly handed over a cloth bag, which was a carefully folded flag, this flag, once fluttered in front of the Jiangdong Provincial Government Building, had given the soldiers endless courage during the defense of North Thailand, it had experienced the test of blood and fire, the flag was full of bullet holes, and the edge was scorched black by the flames of war, it was not only a national flag, but also a battle flag.

The blue sky and white sun flag rose in front of the provincial capital, the national anthem sounded, the army stood solemnly with guns, Chen Zikun slowly raised his hand and saluted, and suddenly, the bustling people on the entire central street were all quiet, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes saluted, watching the national flag rise to the top of the flagpole, suddenly the sky was beautiful, a gust of wind blew, the national flag was waving in the wind, the clouds saw the sun, the sun was slowly sprinkled, shining on the flag with red light, everyone felt that their eyes were moist, and their throats were choked.

……

Provincial government building, Chen Zikun stood in front of seven or eight senior officers of the Peace Army, Japan has surrendered, the puppet government is naturally scattered, personal care, the big boss of the puppet army near the provincial capital is panicked, and he has long been looking forward to getting in touch with the central government, just now Liu Youjin called them, saying that the allied generals came to receive it, and ordered them to report quickly, this gang of goods immediately ran upside down, and saw that the person who came was Chen Zikun, and he was even more tearful, slapping his mouth, what is Balabala in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and the curve to save the country.

Chen Zikun didn't care, stopped their performance, and said: "Japan has surrendered, you don't have to be traitors, you all restrain the troops for me, don't make trouble, don't disturb the people, don't surrender to others, understand!" ”

When the horns of traitors are all exquisite, I heard the meaning from Chen Zikun's words, and he is not allowed to surrender to others? Could it be that there is someone else to receive it? But they didn't dare to think about anything else, Chen Zikun was the old master of Jiangdong, and no one could compete with him.

Subduing a group of puppet generals, Chen Zikun rushed to the Japanese garrison camp with a small team, and a mixed brigade was stationed in the provincial capital, the brigade commander was Major General Arakihiko, who had received a telegram from the third theater of operations, and all his subordinates were gathered in the barracks, and the weapons were handed in, leaving only the gendarmes to guard the gate.

More than a dozen cars came to an abrupt stop at the camp gate, and four GIs jumped out of the cars, ordered the Japanese military police to leave their posts, and took over the gate, and then the captain of the car drove straight in and stopped in front of the small building of the brigade headquarters.

The door opened, Chen Zikun, who was wearing a steel helmet on his head and wearing a military uniform, got out of the car and looked at these little men with lap legs, the Japanese army's military uniform has changed greatly after years of improvement, Major General Araki and his subordinates are wearing summer turn-up military uniforms, the big collar of the white shirt is turned out, and they look nondescript, and the staff officers have thread ornaments on their shoulders, their faces are gloomy and dejected.

Major General Araki wore glasses, looked polite, nodded and humbled with a humble attitude, and asked Chen Zikun's subordinates and ranks, and after learning that the other party was the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, he couldn't help but hesitate: "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, our department was ordered to surrender General Gu Zhutong's troops in the Third Theater, you see ......."

Chen Zikun said: "You must surrender to me, this is non-negotiable. ”

Major General Araki said, "However, we received an order to surrender to the Chinese regular army. ”

Chen Zikun said: "I am a first-class general of the Chinese Army, a senior liaison officer of the Allied Forces, I repeat for the last time, you must surrender to me!" ”

Major General Araki looked at his dress, and then looked at the group of blonde and blue-eyed American soldiers behind him, and had a plan in his heart, this master's background must be greater than Gu Zhutong, anyway, they all surrendered, and there was not much difference for him.

"Hay, I surrender to Your Excellency." Major General Araki unsheathed his saber and picked it up.

Chen Zikun waved his hand, the guards came over to pick up the sabers, and the officers began to count the rosters of the Japanese army, the materials in the warehouse, and take stock before receiving.

Leaving a platoon of soldiers to take care of the Japanese army, Chen Zikun returned to the provincial capital to sit in the town, there were too few people available under his hands, he was ready to use the puppet police first, the foundation of the police station was still those old people before the Anti-Japanese War, maintaining order during the enemy and puppet period, and not doing many bad things, unlike some traitors who acted for the tiger, it was not an exaggeration to shoot a hundred times.

At this time, Ou Guangyan's convoy had just entered the provincial capital, and he brought a battalion of guards, dressed very decently, and the pseudo-policemen who maintained order did not dare to stop them, and let them come to the provincial government building, but they were stopped by two soldiers guarding the door.

Ou Guangyan was about to get out of the car, and his subordinates reported: "The one who guards the door will not let us in." ”

"It's upside down! These dog traitors, Lao Tzu shot them. Ou Jinbao was furious, jumped out of the car, lifted the armed belt, pressed the pistol holster, and walked over majestically, intending to teach these blind guys a lesson.

When he came to the door, he was dumbfounded, there had been a sentry in front of the gate of the provincial capital, and they were two authentic American GIs, carrying carbines and wearing ship-shaped hats.

Ou Jinbao has been arrogant and domineering since he was a child, but he is not a fool who doesn't know the severity, ordinary people can provoke, and Lord Yang is a ruthless character who can't even be provoked by his father, not to mention himself, a major of the Central Army who has never been on the battlefield.

A battalion of troops was stationed in front of the provincial capital, Shengsheng was blocked by two American soldiers, Ou Guangyan was very anxious, could not receive the provincial capital, not to mention the vain, the loss was huge, he personally stepped forward to negotiate, the American soldiers ordered him to stand at the door, and only after the report was allowed to enter.

Chen Zikun was not surprised when he saw that it was Ou Guangyan, everyone could guess the thoughts of the highest authorities in Chongqing, and took advantage of the opportunity of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War to reshuffle the cards, Ou Guangyan had been the director of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Department, and Chen Zikun had an old grudge, and his brother was the commander of the 89th Army, so it was very suitable for him to be the receiving officer.

Ou Guangyan was taken aback, Chen Zikun is not only old enough, but he has been in the limelight recently, and he can't fight him.

"It turned out to be an old man, welcome welcome, the district director doesn't know what is going on?" Chen Zikun pretended to be confused.

Ou Guangyan put on a smile and said, "Sir Gu, come to Jiangdong to receive it, and ask Commander Chen for convenience." ”

Chen Zikun said: "What do you receive? Koto has already been received. ”

Ou Guangyan said: "Dare to ask whose order Commander Chen is on?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Jiangdong is my home, do I need to be ordered by anyone to go home?" ”

Ou Guangyan said: "In this case, please ask Commander Chen to withdraw from the provincial capital and let my brother perform his duties." ”

Just when Liu Youjin came in and wanted to talk about something, Chen Zikun was impatient to entangle with Ou Guangyan, and sent him away: "I still have something, please go back." ”

Ou Guangyan said: "General Chen, you are blatantly disobeying orders, I will go to Chief Gu to sue you." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Please, let Gu Zhutong talk to me if you have something, you are not qualified enough to send off guests." ”

Ou Guangyan angrily rushed out of the gate of the provincial capital, took his battalion of men and horses, and went straight to the 89th Army garrison hundreds of miles away.

The 89th Army was still confronting the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the two sides were scolding across the defensive line, and seeing that a fight was about to start, Ou Guangwu saw that the eldest brother came in a hurry, and wondered: "Big brother, why don't you take it over in the provincial capital?" ”

Ou Guangyan said: "Don't mention it, Chen Zikun was the first to go, he went by plane." ”

Ou Guangwu was furious: "Isn't this disobedience, I will send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Gu immediately." ”

Ou Guangyan said: "Wait, this little thing still needs to be taken care of by the chief, doesn't it seem that we are a bag, I don't think Chen Zikun has many soldiers, why don't you send a regiment to me, and I will rob the provincial capital." ”

Ou Guangwu said: "It's okay, but a regiment can't stop the scene, I'll go in person and bring a division's men and horses." ”

When the 89th Army was mobilizing its personnel, the provincial airport was extremely busy, transport planes took off and landed, and every 20 minutes a plane landed, and all the elite of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were rushed from Jiangbei.
