"Report to the brigade commander, the rout of the 28th Division in front and the local militia are fighting, what do you think should be done?"

"Hurry up and control the situation, no matter who is wrong, you will be severely punished!"

Although he said so, Zhang Tinglan also had an account in his heart, most of the responsibility was on the rout, once the soldiers were defeated, they would become inferior to bandits, and the local militia were all responsible for local security, if they were not forced to a certain extent, they would definitely not go crazy and confront the regular army.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan also felt a little bad in his heart, Feng Jun has been working hard to improve the image of the army and clean up the hearts of the people, if the 28th Division of the rebels make such a fuss, it will hit the prestige of the Feng army. Moreover, the Jifeng border is still the reclamation area that Zhang Tinglan is responsible for, and the militia here is also formed by him, if this gang of rebels shakes their prestige, it will be even more troublesome.

Zhang Tinglan hurriedly found Zhang Haipeng, and they led the men and horses to the scene of the incident, where two groups of people were facing each other at this time, one was more than 100 defeated soldiers, and the other was a local militia, and they were shooting at each other.

The militia didn't have any good weapons, they were all old rifles, some big lifting rods and the like, and some people were holding big knives and spears and other weapons, and they were stubbornly guarding the gate of the village, and the rout army on the opposite side was fighting fiercely.

Although the combat effectiveness of the rout army is not good, it is still handy to bully this group of militiamen, three or five militiamen have been shot, and more than a dozen people have been injured, seeing that the militia can not hold on, at this time Zhang Tinglan led the army to rush over like a whirlwind.

At the sight of the menacing soldiers, both sides of the war were terrified, the rout feared that they would be held accountable, and the militia feared that they were all in one group. They all looked at the situation in front of them with trepidation.

Zhang Tinglan ordered his subordinates to surround the rout first, let them all surrender their guns, and wait for processing, at the same time, Zhang Tinglan urged the horse to the outside of the militia's village, and shouted to all the militiamen: "Folks, we are a unit from Mukden, specially cleaning up the mess, you can rest assured, we will definitely not favor these chaotic soldiers." Let's put away our weapons first, send a few representatives, and let's figure out the merits. ”

Zhang Tinglan shouted several times in succession, but none of the 100 or so militiamen reacted, and their eyes were full of distrust.

Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to continue: "Fellow countrymen. My name is Zhang Tinglan, and I am in charge of Tuntian's work. I divide your fields and farms. Moreover, the regulations of the reclamation and the loan help you enjoy are also drawn up by me, please believe me, I will definitely call the shots! ”

After saying this, these militias all reacted somewhat. Talking to each other. At this time, in the village, a little old man in his forties and fifties ran out, followed by several middle-aged people.

"Uncle Wan Jin, that young man said that he was the official in charge of Tuntian. If it's true, he is our great benefactor, and we can survive by others, I'm afraid that he wants to trick us into opening the stockade and then killing and robbing. ”

The others were still a little worried, the little old man thought for a while, and said, "You are all biedong, my old bones are not afraid of anything, let me go over and take a look!" ”

There were a few young people who wanted to stop it, the old man insisted on coming over, at this time Zhang Haipeng had already commanded his men to control the group of routs, he also arrived in front of the stockade, the old man walked to Zhang Tinglan, and was about to kneel and kowtow, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly grabbed the old man.

"Don't do this, let's talk slowly."

"Sir, are you the official in charge of Tuntian?"

"That's right, I'm the director of the Reclamation Department, and the Jifeng Border Area is still the responsibility of my Reclamation Brigade, if there's anything that isn't enough, just say it, I'll remember it and go back and correct it."

When the old man heard this, he suddenly burst into tears, and said excitedly: "I should kowtow to this little old man, without you, we might have died a long time ago, and you are our great benefactor!" ”

In all fairness, there are too many selfish thoughts mixed in the work of Tuntian, strengthening local control, using bank loans to control the farm, and then using the rich returns from the farm to support industrial development, so in Zhang Tinglan's view, this work is just an equivalent exchange transaction, and he also calculated these honest farmers.

Therefore, seeing that someone had to kowtow to him, Zhang Tinglan was also a little guilty, and hurriedly helped the old man up, and the old man continued: "The little old man's name is Liu Wanjin, and he has a rich name, but he has been poor all his life, and he came to the east of the country in the early years, and lived by farming for the landlord, but last year he also suffered a disaster, and there was no harvest, and the family was going to starve to death. Fortunately, thanks to the policy of tuntian, we have redivided villages and towns, distributed life-saving food, and divided land, and also got farm tools and seeds at the beginning of spring, as long as we work for another five years, we can have our own land, and there are still such haode things in this world! ”

The old man was very happy to say it, but Zhang Tinglan was very unhappy in his heart, the common people are always the ones who ask for the least and are the easiest to satisfy, but the world always makes them unable to live.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Let's talk about the things in front of us, what's going on with these rebels, the militia weishenme clashed with them?" ”

"Sir, these guys are such bastards, I heard that they lost the battle in front of them, and they scattered in all directions, and as a result, many of them came to our side. At first, they just wanted food, and then they wanted the ocean, and Zuihou became a blatant robbery, not far from here, there was also a village, so they let the rebels rush in, and as a result, they robbed the whole village, and the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law all suffered, and Zuihou also burned the village with a fire. They came to our side again, and we people were forced to have no choice but to fight with them, and finally had a home, how could they ruin it. ”

Listening to Liu Wanjin's narration, Zhang Tinglan has basically understood that the so-called soldiers are not as good as bandits, although a lot of officers of the 28th Division have been transferred, but the soldiers in the underground are still the old foundation of the bandits back then, and the military discipline is not as good as the original 27th Division, and now that it has been defeated, it has become inevitable to rob the common people.

"Master Zhang, you must be clear about the situation, how do you think you should deal with it?"

Zhang Haipeng also looked ashamed, he also came out of the 28th Division, and now the Feng army is talking about regularization, emphasizing military discipline every day, but as a result, these people can't fight, and the scourge of the common people is first-class, it is even worse than bandits, Zhang Haipeng is also full of anger, and he knows very well that he must deal with these guys.

But Zhang Haipeng was a little concerned about the incense situation, after all, there were his old subordinates here, so he said: "I think I should be severely punished, and I can't let go of any soldier who makes a mistake, but I think that at present, if the Ji army kills it, someone will have to resist, and the marshal asked me to collect the rout, I think I will give these people a chance to atone for their crimes." ”

"Division Commander Zhang, a team without military discipline is ineffective, the reality is in front of you, their hundreds of defeated troops can't even compare with the militia, the reason is very simple, that is, they have become bandits, not worthy of being called soldiers, these militias also know that they protect their homeland, can fight to the death, if you want to resist the Ji army, in my opinion, using the militia to cooperate with us, it is better than using them!"

Zhang Tinglan spoke very politely, and directly equated the people of the 28th Division with bandits, Zhang Haipeng had the heart to refute, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, don't look at him and Zhang Zuolin are people of the same generation, and don't look at him in the name of the division commander, Zhang Haipeng knows very well in his heart that when it comes to power and influence, he and Zhang Tinglan are not of the same grade at all, and Zhang Tinglan really wants to do something, and he can't stop it.

"Division Commander Zhang, I think so, first send people and horses, collect all the rout, temporarily send them to the rear, and conduct careful screening, as long as there are people who kill people and set fires, they will all be shot, and all those who participated in the robbery will be dismissed, and the army must not want these black sheep, and then notify the farms everywhere, and the militia will all be mobilized, on the one hand, strengthen patrols, and cooperate with us to resist the attack of the Kyrgyzstan army when necessary."

"Sir, you are really the Lord of the Blue Sky, I will find someone to notify the surrounding villages and let their militia obey your orders."

Don't look at Liu Wanjin as just an ordinary old peasant, but he can get the trust of other farmers, it turned out that the surrounding villages were trembling, for fear of routing the army to kill the past, and now when they heard that the official who finally came to do things for the people, they were all overjoyed.

In addition to the disaster victims, tenants, and immigrants in the Guannai, these people are all beneficiaries of the Tuntian policy, so they know that it was Zhang Tinglan who brought the troops over this time, and the officials in charge of Tuntian, they are all very grateful and extremely active.

With the cooperation of the people, the action became much easier, after Zhang Tinglan's order was issued, the Feng army soon spread out, and all the routed troops on the border of the two provinces were gathered, and some of the most heinous rout soldiers were directly shot on the spot, and the common people applauded.

Zhang Tinglan also ordered the weapons of the rout army to be collected and distributed to the militia to improve the combat effectiveness of the militia.

Speaking of Ji Jinchun is unlucky enough, after the army was defeated, the pursuers also targeted him, and pursued him relentlessly, Ji Jinchun had to flee to the mountains, relying on the wild fruits on the mountains to satisfy his hunger, and finally met a few more subordinates, only to make a long detour and escape back.

Seeing Zhang Tinglan, Ji Jinchun was extremely embarrassed and ashamed, and he still wanted to defeat Heilongjiang and remove the first two words of his acting division commander, but now it is even more thorough, and even the last two words are gone, how can he have the face to see people.

"I am ashamed of the commander, and I am ashamed of the brothers of the Fengjun, there is only one point, I want to remind you that Gao Shiwei's subordinates are better equipped than before, and there are a lot of Japanese guns, you have to pay attention!" (To be continued......)
