Chapter Twenty-Nine: Checkpoint Conflicts
When I was eating in the town, I clearly felt an atmosphere of imminent battle, and the sound of gunfire was already very close.
The speed of the Japanese army's advance was very fast, and the defeat in the local battlefield could not change the general trend of the battle, but it was still possible to delay the offensive a little.
From time to time, I saw Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky, buzzing like flies, and listening to them made people's hearts flutter.
"Hurry up and eat, we're still on our way when we're done!"
"Big brother, what do you see the troops outside?" Cong Hu whispered.
Leng Feng turned his head slightly, and saw the team hurrying by on the street outside, not only with inferior weapons and equipment, but also with spears and knives, and the soldiers were also wearing thin clothes.
What is the difference between going to the front line and fighting the well-equipped Japanese army like this and sending them to death?
This is the sorrow of the country's poverty and weakness, with strong enemies invading outside, but still fighting for power and profit internally, our nation has always been full of disasters and difficulties.
"Boss, another bowl!"
"Ah, yes, sir." The boss's face is ugly, now the streets are full of soldiers, and it is common for him to eat without money, if it weren't for his life, he would have closed down a long time ago.
"Cong Hu, settle the meal money to the boss first!" Leng Feng commanded.
Cong Hu nodded, took out a piece of ocean and handed it over: "Boss, prepare some dry food and water for us for the rest." ”
"Hey, okay, okay." The first time I saw the chief who was so happy to give money for dinner, the boss nodded excitedly.
Soldiers and bandits, soldiers and bandits, the people are most afraid of being soldiers, which has been said since ancient times.
In this chaotic world, whoever has the gun has the right to speak, and what the great man said is not bad at all.
The noodles in the bowl of the sea, Niu Miao ate three bowls in one go, a veritable "tripe", no wonder he was reluctant to go back to the old army, this day of not having enough to eat, it was really sad.
Out of Dongliu Town, along the highway to the west, the four of them walked for more than an hour, the largest city gate in the east of the outer city of Nanjing, the Qilin Gate arrived.
The highway was very busy, people and vehicles came and went, there were people who fled outside, and there were routed soldiers who did not know where to withdraw, and retreated in groups in the direction of Nanjing.
Along the way, there are a number of military stations to contain the rout.
Most of them were directly taken away by these containment stations, and the reduction of the troops was very serious, and these routs were always stronger than Xinding.
The position of the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps is the right flank position of the Tiger Cave, the second peak of the Purple Mountain, and it goes west along the Nanjing-Hangzhou National Highway from the Qilin Gate.
I didn't walk for an hour, rested for ten minutes, ate some dry food, drank some water, and then continued on my way.
At three o'clock, Leng Feng and his party arrived at Maqun Town.
Maqun Town is located in the main traffic artery, naturally very prosperous, the people here are much calmer than Dongliu Town, behind them is the capital of the national government, the war has not yet burned here.
They believed that the national army would be able to defend the capital and protect their homeland.
In order to prevent Japanese spies from infiltrating the city of Nanjing, the Military Commission and the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters set up temporary checkpoints at all important passages and passes that could enter and exit Nanjing.
In addition to personal identification, there are also body searches, and only those who can speak Chinese will be released.
Although the inspection is strict, if there are really Japanese spies mixed in, it can only be a rough screening, and this will not work at all for traitors who have forgotten their ancestors.
Leng Feng and the four of them encountered this trouble.
The Japanese attack was imminent, except for the troops that withdrew to Nanjing in formation, the stragglers were almost contained by the front military station, and there were not many to see here.
In front of the Ma Herd checkpoint, they were stopped by a group of soldiers with loaded guns.
Leng Feng reported his name and showed his military ID, but these were useless, and when the second lieutenant platoon commander at the checkpoint heard his name, he ordered the soldiers to surround them and unload their guns.
"Yes, his name is Leng Feng, and there are three people with him, two soldiers of the Cantonese army, and one seems to be an ordinary person!"
"Look, I'll come right over!" A stern voice on the other end of the line commanded.
"Yes!"
"Brother, we are really not Japanese spies, you listen to my explanation." Leng Feng stopped Niu Miao and the others from impulsively, but he also regretted it a little in his heart, why didn't he send a telegram to Qiu Qingquan and ask him to send someone to pick it up, there would be no such thing now.
But who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
"Dog traitor, Chief Leng Feng has been martyred, do you think you can deceive us with Chief Leng Feng's military ID?" The second lieutenant platoon commander said solemnly.
Leng Feng was speechless, the real Leng Feng was indeed dead, he didn't know if it was a martyrdom, but he was Leng Feng now.
"This brother ......"
"Who's your brother, dog traitor, phew!" A mouthful of spat flew over, and Leng Feng could only dodge it.
"Dare to hide!" A soldier picked up the butt of his rifle and gave Leng Feng a look.
This came with hatred for the "traitor", Leng Feng was hit like this, and he couldn't help arching himself in pain.
"Big brother!" The three of Cong Hu were excited, and Niu Miao was even more angry, breaking free from the shackles of the two soldiers, rushing up, and about to beat the soldier.
"Big bull, don't!" Leng Feng endured the pain, raised his hand, and grabbed Niu Miao's fist.
"Big brother!"
"Da Niu, it's not his fault." Leng Feng shook his head and said, "Your fist shouldn't be against your own people. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the platoon leader's eyes.
"This brother, you said that Leng Feng was martyred, is there any evidence?" Leng Feng slowly straightened up and asked.
"Evidence, don't say it, I really have it here." The platoon leader turned back and took a newspaper.
"Jinling Daily", the news published on it is subject to strict scrutiny, and its credibility is naturally high.
The newspaper is still today, December 7, and it should have been printed last night.
The front page headline, a huge photograph, shows a press conference with a soldier in the uniform of a General of the National Revolutionary Army giving an impassioned speech.
"Swear to live and die with Nanjing!"
Eye-catching typing in black, three exclamation points in thick black! The prominent expression, sharp eyes, and powerful fists really give people a very strong shock.
In the distributed news, Leng Feng found evidence that he had been "martyred".
It turned out that he had become an anti-Japanese hero, Lizigou destroyed a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army in the first battle, and then drove the captured Japanese tank to attack from behind the Japanese army, destroying seven Japanese tanks, but he fell into the Japanese army surrounded and martyred!
Who wrote this such a mess, when did he fall into a heavy siege, fight with dozens of Japanese soldiers, and finally die heroically?
Seeing this Acura report, Leng Feng couldn't cry or laugh.
"Look, there's a picture of a hero here, look at you, it's a little bit like ......"
Leng Feng looked down, he was really a little stunned, the person in the photo was not himself at all, although the tank was Japanese-style, it was a 94 ultra-light tank, commonly known as the "bean tank".
This is ironclad evidence.
"I don't have anything to say, I already knew that you were a spy, and you dared to pretend to be an anti-Japanese hero, and when Chief Ye came in a while, he would directly collapse you!" The platoon leader snatched the newspaper and snorted coldly.
It's really troublesome now, the radio station was confiscated, and he didn't have a chance to publish it to Qiu Qingquan again.
Qiu Qingquangui is the chief of staff of the teaching corps, and even if he still thinks about himself, this chaotic army and the control of communications, he may not know what is happening at a small checkpoint under his eyes and nose.
This time it's really a smart one, and I've been confused for a while.
"Drive, drive......"
A team of plastic surgery officers came, led by a young major with a grim face.
"Report to Chief Ye, it's these four people, all of them are controlled, they not only carry guns and ammunition, but also a Japanese-style radio station, just swaggering like this, this Japanese spy is quite bold."
"What about the radio?" Major Ye glanced at Leng Feng and asked.
"In a lowly checkpoint!"
"Take me there." Major Ye gave an order, followed the second lieutenant platoon commander into the checkpoint, stayed for about two minutes, and then came out.
"Bring the radio station, and people will find a place to finish." Major Ye walked over and ordered lightly.
"Yes, sir!"
"Chief Ye, it doesn't seem appropriate to ignore the people like this without asking or judging, right?" Leng Feng was furious, he knew that there were people and ghosts in the ranks of the national army, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
This is the Army Teaching Corps, known as the "Iron Guard", so what will the military discipline of the troops below become?
He didn't resist, there was still some hope,
"In extraordinary times, it is better to kill 3,000 by mistake than to let go of one."
"What if it's the wrong kill?" Leng Feng was furious, what was the reason?
"That's just to blame you for your bad life!" Major Ye smiled contemptuously, as if a human life was not as good as an ant in his eyes.
"So we have to die today?"
"That's right, even if the king of heaven is here, he can't save you." Major Ye said, "But don't blame me, if you want to blame yourself, you brought a radio station to swagger through the market, I really haven't seen a stupid Japanese spy like you." ”
"Chief Ye, they also forged Officer Leng's military ID."
"Oh, aren't you Japanese intelligence agencies very powerful, it's really stupid and incorrigible to disguise yourself as a dead man." Major Ye's eyes were even more disdainful.
"Chief Ye, if there is a commander like you in the teaching corps, Chief Gui is not very good at employing people." Leng Feng said coldly.
"Platoon Commander Jiang, take someone to execute it, I should go." Major Na Ye put away the officer of the cold front and said.
"Wait a minute?"
"You've got a good watch, take it off!" Major Ye saw the watch on Leng Feng's left wrist, the style was very new, he had never seen it before, and he immediately became greedy.
Leng Feng really couldn't help it, this watch was the only memorial of his previous life, and it was also a token of love left to her by Qin Hong, and he would never let people touch it.
Careless of human life, and greedy Ruosi, such a person can still be a major in the national army?
"Major Ye, this is my personal belongings."
"Presumptuous, you are a Japanese spy, what qualifications do you have to say such things to me?" Major Ye was furious.
In his eyes, Leng Feng is already a dead man, and the dead man's things are ownerless, what is he afraid of?
"Platoon Commander Jiang, go, take my watch off for me!"
"Yes, Chief Ye." The Jiang platoon commander walked over and stretched out his hand to grab Leng Feng, but Leng Feng had been forced to have no way out, so he could only fight back!
If you want him to be killed by the cold front, it is impossible.
"If you want something from me, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" Leng Feng will not make a move, and once he makes a move, he will never hesitate.
Click!
Leng Feng hated this platoon commander for not distinguishing between right and wrong, acting for the tiger, and breaking his wrist at once.
Platoon Commander Jiang screamed miserably, and Leng Feng removed the box cannon from his waist, and then blocked the person in front of him.
"Big bull, take the gun!" Leng Feng threw the box cannon to Niu Miao.
"What are you doing in a daze, come on, hurry, shoot, kill this Japanese spy!" Major Ye was terrified, and reached out to touch the pistol on his waist,
"If you dare to shoot, I'll kill him!" Leng Feng pinched Platoon Commander Jiang's neck and said in a cold tone, "Everyone has a life for a life, it's worth it." ”
Just when everyone thought that Leng Feng was going to take Platoon Commander Jiang hostage in order to get out, Leng Feng suddenly pushed Platoon Commander Jiang towards Major Ye.
Catching this major surnamed Ye is his real purpose.
Major Ye had already pulled out his pistol at this moment, and when he saw Platoon Commander Jiang rushing towards him, he directly pulled the trigger!
