Wu Zhe led the 1st Independent Regiment into the Fangcun garrison, and as soon as the disbandment of the unit was announced, Ma Zhu, the staff officer of the regiment, sent the latest order from the military headquarters: In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, the whole regiment will be equipped with imitation Mauser M1924 rifles, and equipped with some Thomson submachine guns and Czech light machine guns to replace the previous Japanese-style equipment.

Wu Zhe was a little restless, took two steps back and forth, and looked at Nomura Nakasa, who came behind him at some point. Nomura Nakasa took out a pack of "Phoenix brand" cigarettes produced by Maoliangwu Tobacco Factory from his pocket, stuffed it into Ma Zhu, and asked in his mouth: "Chief of Staff, change your clothes, why do you want to hand over your current weapons and equipment?" ”

Ma Zhu took the cigarette and put it in his bag, but he didn't appreciate it at all:

"The weapons and equipment that have been replaced will be collected and sent to the Changshan battalion, and the three newly recruited infantry regiments will be equipped with Japanese-made weapons...... Now that we have good equipment, why do we need the rags of the little devils, we just need to wait for the new equipment to be released! I'm talking to the head of the regiment, you'd better not interject, Zhiludao? ”

Nomura scratched his head a little embarrassedly, gave Wu Zhe a look, and stepped aside with a grin.

"Platoon Commander Ye was also concerned about the things in the regiment just now...... Before their batch of recruits came to our regiment, the brigade commander had specially greeted me, and Platoon Commander Ye was trained as an important officer in the division, and it will be of great use in the future, don't kill him! ”

Wu Zhe smiled, sloppy eyes, and then leaned into Ma Zhu's ear and asked in a low voice: "Chief of Staff, tell me, what's going on?" Every time you change your outfit, you turn in the old weapon when the new weapon arrives, why did you change the rules this time? ”

Ma Zhu looked around and whispered: "As far as I know, the military seat will personally come to our regiment with weapons and equipment later, and the guard regiment will give a special order to ensure the absolute safety of the military commander, let us hand in the weapons first and then issue new weapons, and the bullets will have to wait until the military seat leaves before issuing them!" ”

"The military seat is coming to our independent regiment?"

Wu Zhe's brows furrowed, and after thinking about it, he was still a little strange: "Why are the requirements so strict this time?" In the past, the military seat went down to the grassroots level, eating and living with us, and it has never been like this! ”

Ma Zhu coughed lightly, pulled Wu Zhe's sleeve, walked to the side and said with a smile: "Tuanza, I'm afraid you're going to be developed this time...... According to the people in the military department, Chairman Chiang heard that you had worked in the 11th Division of General Cixiu, attended the Central Military Academy, and were from Zhejiang, so he specially came to inspect our regiment. ”

"In consideration of the issue of face and safety, the military seat personally came to our regiment to change our clothes, and everything was done in accordance with the specifications of the chairman of the committee to inspect us, check and fill in the gaps, and avoid mistakes."

"Chairman Chiang wants to come to our delegation to inspect?" Wu Zhe was shocked and quite puzzled: "With my level, it is difficult to enter the eyes of Chairman Jiang, right?" ”

"Commander, be quiet, don't let people hear!"

Ma Zhu pulled Wu Zhe's sleeve and took the initiative to explain: "I have specifically inquired about it, there are three unwritten rules for Chairman Jiang's employment, the first is to reuse soldiers from the Huangpu department, you are from the Central Military Academy, and meet the standards, the second is to reuse fellow villagers in Zhejiang, you are from Quzhou, this is also satisfied, and the third is to reuse people who are very loyal to Chairman Jiang personally...... I think he came this time to see if you have the value of training, as long as you perform well and say a few words of allegiance, I am afraid that it will not be long before you become the brigade commander and division commander! ”

"Oh, I see............"

Wu Zhe was extremely depressed in his heart, if he hadn't been coerced by the Japanese, he would have behaved better during Chiang Kai-shek's inspection, and he would have been able to rise to the top, but unfortunately everything was over now.

Ma Zhu glanced at Wu Zhe a little strangely: "Commander, this is a great event, why are you unhappy?" ”

"Glad fart...... The object of my allegiance is the army commander, and Chairman Chiang is high, so what's the use of him appreciating me? Wu Zheqiang squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, I'll send people to each battalion and company to inform them to carry out the orders of the military headquarters!" By the way, the guard platoon is also going to be disarmed? ”

"That's right, the meaning of the military department is that all troops must be unconditionally disarmed!" Ma Zhu nodded.

"Okay!"

Wu Zhekou replied unwillingly and left.

Looking at Wu Zhe's back, Ma Zhu strode into the grove next to the barracks, just in time to see the heavily armed Lu Kuiyuan and others waiting for news.

Seeing Ma Zhu coming over, Lu Kuiyuan gave Ma Zhu a thumbs up and praised: "Chief of Staff Ma, you should go to the movie, your words will definitely be able to bluff Wu Zhe's bastard." ”

Ma Zhu knew that the special forces lurking nearby had already passed the news, shook his head at the moment, spread his palms and said to Lu Kuiyuan: "Look, my palms are full of sweat, if it weren't for Section Chief Ye of the Intelligence Section to teach me how to say it, and rehearsed a few times in advance, Wu Zhe would definitely see through me!" ”

"Okay, you have successfully completed the task, good ......" Lu Kuiyuan patted Ma Zhu's shoulder enthusiastically: "You have made a great contribution this time, otherwise these little devils don't know what kind of basket they will poke...... Get ready to get moving, and hopefully nothing happens! ”

"Good!"

Ma Zhu nodded to the several officers behind Lu Kuiyuan, and immediately began to surrender their guns.

######

At the temporary headquarters of the station, after Wu Zhe informed Nomura Nakasa that he would hand in his weapons first and then issue them, a smile appeared on Nomura's face that the conspiracy had succeeded.

Shimazu Shaoza frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "The soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire should not leave their weapons, we ......"

"Alright, don't say it! I know you're afraid we'll be in danger when we leave our weapons! Nomura Nakasa interrupted Shimazu's words and sneered: "If Ma Zhu had already set his sights on us, there would be no need to hide it like this, after all, this is the heartland of the New Second Army, simply send a few regiments over, and we will die." He was so cautious, then Chiang Kai-shek's visit to this place is probably true! ”

Shimazu pouted and didn't say anything. Nomura Nakasa coughed lightly, and his tone became stern: "Shimazu-kun, I know that your brother who served in the 114th Division died at the hands of the New Second Army, but you must be rational now, and you can't be rash!" ”

Without waiting for Shimazu to answer, Nomura Nakasa patted Shimazu's shoulder vigorously: "You have to think about it, when the devil Wu Ming accompanies Chiang Kai-shek to the barracks of the First Independent Regiment, we will find the opportunity to kill Chiang Kai-shek and Wu Ming together." At that time, there will be civil strife in China, and the brilliance of the great god of sunshine will shine on the entire territory of China, and we will also become heroes of the Great Japanese Empire! ”

"Hay—"

Shimazu had no choice but to agree.

The officers and men of a company from the Quartermaster Department, under the leadership of regimental staff officer Ma Zhu, collected all the weapons of the officers and men of each battalion and company of the 1st Independent Regiment.

After the last, the officers and soldiers of the regiment with bare hands, led by Wu Zhe, came to the garrison school to wait for the army commander Wu Ming.

The school field is quiet, but everyone is not at peace in their hearts.

Most of the officers and soldiers were looking forward to the entrance of the station, wanting to see the demeanor of the military god up close, but Wu Zhe looked sad, his brows twisted into a lump, and his heart was in chaos. Nomura Nakasa and the others, who had no weapons, huddled in the crowd, for fear that their unusual size and movements would arouse the suspicion of others.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a car at the gate of the 1st Independent Regiment's garrison, and more than 20 trucks broke into the garrison like a violent wind, came to a stop around the school yard, and jumped from the cars More than 600 officers and men of the special service battalion with live ammunition, together with the baggage soldiers and gendarmes who had come here to carry out their tasks, surrounded the officers and men of the 1st Independent Regiment.

At this time, Lu Kuiyuan, accompanied by Ma Zhu and others, walked out of the house slowly, and carefully looked at the neatly lined up officers and soldiers on the school field with a pair of eyes.

Lu Kuiyuan is the colonel of the Army Guard Regiment, and at the same time the position of the commander of the special service battalion, and is a big celebrity in the entire new Second Army system.

The vast majority of officers and soldiers were very fresh, but Nomura Nakasa in the queue was sweating in his vest, and Shimazu Shaosa and other devil soldiers next to him also noticed that something was wrong.

The sweat on Wu Zhe's face seeped more and more, but he still forced himself to calm down, strode forward, and smiled at Lu Kuiyuan: "It turned out to be Captain Lu, I don't know which gust of wind blew you to us!" ”

"It's the east wind of your Grand Master Wu!"

Lu Kuiyuan also walked over, grabbed Wu Zhe's hand, took advantage of Wu Zhe's kung fu, leaned into Wu Zhe's ear, and whispered: "The matter of your collusion with the little devil, the military seat has already known the way, you better tell it honestly!" Turn around, I'll ask the military seat to give you a good time. ”

"Ah...... You, you're ......" Wu Zhe's eyes widened in shock.

"Do you want to ask me how I know the Dao?"

Lu Kuiyuan clapped his hands indifferently, looked up at the sky, and said mysteriously: "Commander Wu, do you know what the common people call our military seat?" They say that the military seat is the white tiger star in the sky, and he specializes in reincarnating to destroy the Japanese devils, but he is omniscient and omnipotent. ”

"The military seat has long known about your persecution by the Japanese, and has been waiting for you to confess to him yourself. However, he waited left and right, and he never waited for you, so he had to send me to invite you! ”

Lu Kuiyuan's half-truths and half-truths scared Wu Zhe to the core, he sighed heavily, tears welled up in his eyes, took Lu Kuiyuan's hand, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "It turns out that Junzuo is really a god in the sky...... That's right, I was persecuted by the little devils, and dozens of lives in the whole village were tied to me, and I ......"

Lu Kuiyuan gently patted Wu Zhe's body and asked in a low voice: "Please tell me how many Japanese soldiers have been mixed in your regiment, and where are they all?" ”

At this time, Wu Zhe had completely let go, and there was no longer any luck, and he said: "Commander Lu, these devil soldiers have special physical signs and language barriers, in order not to let people see through, they only sent more than fifty people to my side to form a reinforced platoon, and they are all on the school field now!" ”

With Wu Zhe's guidance, the next thing was easy to do, as the surrounding troops were transferred, the ghost soldiers of the guard platoon were revealed. After the surrounding loudspeakers issued a warning in Japanese, "Kneel down and beg for mercy," the unyielding bushido spirit of these Japanese soldiers broke out instantly, and they shouted the slogan "Long live the emperor" and rushed towards the officers and men of the special battalion who were threatening to go up, but they died under the dense bullets of Suomi submachine guns.

After dealing with the devil soldiers on the school field, Wu Zhe didn't care about appeasing the frightened officers and soldiers, and took Lu Kuiyuan's hand and reported: "There are still eight or nine hundred devil soldiers in the mountain!" ”

"Huh!? Why do you say it now? What if they hear the gunshots and run away? No, I need to inform the military seat and solve the problem as soon as possible! Lu Kuiyuan was a little angry.

"Captain Lu, you don't have to worry, most of the little devils are lapped, their physical characteristics are more obvious, and there is no one who understands Chinese to lead the way, as long as they come out of the mountain, they will be discovered!"

Wu Zhe patiently explained.

It's a pity that he didn't know that things had really changed unexpectedly, creating a rift in the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Wu Ming.
