Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Order of Surrender
"Yang Laosi, let me tell you, if you don't do what I say, Xiaoju, you don't want to marry you." Looking at Yang Shuang, who still wanted to quibble, Xie honestly glared and scolded, "Our Xie and Yang families are world friends, and you also grew up under my watch, the Japanese called, this is not to blame you, the Japanese have killed so many villagers, this is not to blame you." But if you don't learn to do well, you will become a translator for the Japanese, and my Xiaoju will not enter your family if she does not marry for the rest of her life, if you are still a gentleman, give me a happy word today. ”
"Uncle Xie, you can't do this, if this is known by the Japanese, not only me, but even my father, my mother and this big family will not be able to escape." Yang Shuang squatted on the ground with his head on his face crying, Xie Xiaoju, who had already had a marriage contract with him, wanted to go over and comfort him, but when he saw his father's face, he stopped again. Yang Shuang and Xie Xiaoju grew up together, and the Xie and Yang families are indeed world friends, but since the Japanese came to the town and killed a lot of villagers, the father has never been waiting to see Yang Shuang, if it weren't for the old lady still helping Yang Shuang, I am afraid that the door of his own family would not be opened for Yang Shuang.
"I'm afraid of something, I don't think the little devils will live long, I heard that the village west of the town saw the guerrillas a few days ago, and I haven't heard what the little devils did to those guerrillas." Xie honestly didn't care what Yang Shuang said, he just forced Yang Shuang to do what he wanted him to do, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a morning, and finally Xie Xiaoju spoke, and Yang Shuangcai had no choice but to agree.
In fact, it is not difficult for Xie Laoshi to ask Yang Shuang to do it, he just asked Yang Shuang to record the number of Japanese puppet troops in the town and the configuration of weapons, mainly the exact time when the Japanese puppet army in the town went to the county seat to get supplies. Xie Laoshi is not a member of the anti-Japanese armed forces, but this man who has been a landlord for half his life is a clear-eyed master, and when the guerrillas of the national army sent people to find him, Xie Laoshi agreed to help the guerrillas find out the intelligence of the Japanese army. However, what Xie honestly valued was not the oceanic silver dollars sent by the guerrillas, nor the ambition of resisting the country, but the title of anti-Japanese soldier promised by the guerrillas.
Fortunately, Yang Shuang grew up watching by himself, and he had a soft personality, Xie Laoshi only waited at home for two days, and the nervous Yang Shuang sent information as instructed, and squinted Xie Laoshile's eyes into a slit. "Shuang, I can tell you, following the Japanese can only be a dead end, Dad is saving you, you know? If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to watch Xiao Ju stay alive and widowed in the future and the infamy on your Yang family's back, I wouldn't care if you lived or died. Xie honestly tilted his neck and poured the wine into his mouth, and honestly and unceremoniously taught Yang Shuang, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
"Dad, I know that you are always good for me, but I just don't know the bottom of my heart, the guerrillas have been making trouble on our side for several years, and I haven't seen them beat the Japanese away, in case this matter is known by the Japanese, the guy who eats on your son-in-law's neck will be gone." Yang Shuang poured the wine full for Xie honestly with a bitter face, but he didn't touch the wine. It was a big risk to get information for the guerrillas, and Yang Shuang had seen the Japanese methods of dealing with those captured guerrillas, and if this was used on himself, Yang Shuang did not know if he could carry it like those captured guerrillas.
Xie Laoshi glared, and put the wine glass he had just picked up on the table, "I'm afraid of something, the guerrillas have said that these Japanese soldiers in our town are not enough for them to fight, and they will bring more Japanese soldiers to our town this time, and it is best to kill all the Japanese soldiers in ten miles and eight towns, so that we can live a comfortable life as soon as possible." Xie Honest's words made Yang Shuang's hanging heart drop a little, although he is an illiterate father-in-law, but there are a lot of Taoism in his heart, since the old man said that it was okay, then this time it must be fine.
Yang Shuang's intentional flattery, coupled with Xiao Ju and her mother's favoritism, Xie Laoshi's meal was quite comfortable, and Yang Shuang's scolding was a lot less, "Dengden Dengden" Yang Shuang helped Xiaoju send Xie Laoshi back to the main house and was about to leave, but there was a knock on the courtyard door. It's dark in the middle of the night, who will come to knock on the door of Xie Laoshi's house, Yang Shuang coaxed Xiaoju and her mother back to the house to stay, and walked towards the courtyard gate with the Wang Ba box of pistols issued by the Japanese.
"Don't move, if you dare to move, it will kill you." Yang Shuang then put his left hand on the latch, and his back was pressed by a hard object, and then he reached out from behind him and took away his Wang Ba box pistol. "Your name is Yang Shuang, you are the translator of the Japanese army in the town, there are also your father and mother and a brother at home, this family's surname is Xie, it is your father-in-law's family, there are three people in the family, your father-in-law's mother-in-law and your daughter-in-law Xie Xiaoju, Yang translator, am I right?" The words of the man behind him made Yang Shuang tremble like chaff.
The pistol on his back is not what Yang Shuang is most afraid of, what he is afraid of is that the person behind him knows everything about himself, and the Japanese and the detective team will not make such a joke with him, so he is also their translator. I have long heard that the guerrillas have been hoeing and raping, dealing with people like themselves who are Chinese but do things for the Japanese, and their own family and the father-in-law's family are known to the other party, could it be that they are here to deal with their own guerrillas? Yang Shuang, who was shocked into a cold sweat, was completely dumbfounded.
"Don't be afraid, open the door first, we still have people waiting outside." The words of the man behind him made Yang Shuangru fall into the ice cave, and he took down all of them, and there were accomplices outside, which was not called his own life. Yang Shuang, who was weak in his hands and feet, took off the latch and opened the courtyard door tremblingly, there were no more than a dozen people in Wu Yang as Yang Shuang imagined, and there were only three people standing outside the door of the old man's house, and all of them were dressed as Zhuang people.
"Mengzi, put away the gun and scare Yang Yi's family." The man standing in the center spoke, and the man behind Yang Shuang smiled and put away the gun, and Yang Shuang, who felt relaxed, quickly let the three people outside the door get up. "Don't be afraid, we have released people outside, and if the detective team and Japanese soldiers come, there will be someone to warn them." Seeing that Yang Shuang was a little frightened, he looked left and right outside the door, and the man in charge said with a smile.
"Translator Yang, we are the vanguard of the guerrilla column of the national army, and we have dealt with your father-in-law, Mr. Xie several times, Mr. Xie understands the righteousness and actively supports the war of resistance, and also protects you, I hope you will not let Mr. Xie down." was invited into the room by Yang Shuang and sat down, and the man at the head looked at Yang Shuang, who was a little cramped and uneasy, with a smile. The other party's outspokenness made Yang Shuang's heart gradually settle down, especially when the other party said that he had dealt with his father-in-law Xie honestly, that is, the things that his father-in-law arranged for him to do could not be his own name.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as I can help, a few of you can just say it." Yang Shuang did not mention that he had collected intelligence according to Xie Laoshi's instructions, since these people said that they had dealt with their father-in-law, they believed that people would know about the things they had done sooner or later, so why bother to let the other party look down on themselves. Beckoning Xie Xiaoju to make some new meals, Yang Shuang accompanied a few people from the guerrillas to have a simple meal, and after sending a few people away, Yang Shuang's eyes were a little more resolute, which made Xie Xiaoju look happy.
The surrender order was a new trick played by Zhao Zhi after the bounty order, and there were not only a large number of Japanese troops in Hebei, but also many puppet government officials who were threatened by the Japanese army with bullets and bayonets. Zhao Zhi does not believe that these people are iron men and traitors who follow the Japanese all the way to the black, as long as the Nationalist Government shows its sincerity appropriately, Zhao Zhi believes that there will be many people who dare to take risks to provide information to the Nationalist Government, and Yang Shuang is just one of them.
Zhao Zhi infiltrated Hebei this time to command the Tinder troops to attack and harass the Japanese puppet army in Hebei, not only bringing elite mercenary troops and some heavy weapons, but also bringing a large number of blank surrender orders stamped with the seal of the national government. Before leaving Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Zhao Zhi to have full authority to deal with those Hebei enemy and puppet officials who had the intention to do so but suffered from no chance, as long as the name of the defector was filled in on the blank surrender order, the person who received the surrender order immediately became a part of the Nationalist government, and even after the war, those who received the surrender order would not be punished by the government as traitors.
The Japanese occupy half of China, but this does not mean that all Chinese like to be slaves to the country and like to do things for the Japanese to slaughter their compatriots, this is the case in the national control zone, and the same is true in the Japanese war zone, but those people living in the Japanese war zone suffer from having no way to serve the country and are afraid of the bayonets and guns of the Japanese. Zhao Zhi's surrender order made Yang Shuang, a person who is unwilling to do things for the Japanese, see the opportunity, Shanxi has been recovered by the national government, Hebei is next to Shanxi, who can guarantee that Hebei will not be recovered, if you don't sign the surrender order now, do you have to wait for the Japanese to go back to their hometown and wear the hat of a traitor to be paraded in the streets?
"The Chinese are never short of blood, in the face of major right and wrong, they can clearly distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend, as long as one person stands up and signs our surrender order, there will be more enemy and pseudo officials to stand up to help us, but don't force them, surrender is voluntary." Before each squad rushed behind enemy lines, Zhao Zhi, as the commander-in-chief, would give a few words. It was not enough to rely on the guerrillas to scout the movements of the Japanese puppet army, Zhao Zhi needed more information, and the information in the hands of the defectors was the resource that Zhao Zhi was most eager to get.
