Wang San Mazi's bandit team was repulsed, Nanjiazhuang did not return to the former tranquility, the death of relatives made the orphans and widows heartbroken, some old people suddenly lost their sons, in the face of the grief of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people, they all shed muddy tears.

Yes, Nanfang Ren's nephew Nanda also died, he endured the pain in his heart and organized people to carry the sacrificed villagers to the ancestral hall in the village, and he didn't have time to comfort his nieces and nieces, so he led Chu Tiange and Zhang Xiaoquan into the house, and asked his wife to cook for them, saying that he wanted to treat the benefactor who saved Nanjiazhuang. Nan Nan Ren has seen the world as a soldier, and from the words and deeds of Chu and Zhang, he concluded that these two people are eating military food, and after inviting the two people to sit down, he poured tea for the two of them, and said sincerely: "If it weren't for the two military masters today, our Nanjiazhuang would be over, and I would like to thank the two of them on behalf of the men, women and children of the whole village!" After speaking, he clenched his fists and made a serious gesture.

Chu and Zhang hurriedly stood up and got out of the way, saying that they didn't dare, saying that this was what they should do. Chu Tiange saw the ferocity of the bandits for the first time, and felt no different from a little devil, a nameless fire burned in his chest, and he asked, "Isn't this place under the jurisdiction of the Yidong Special Police Column?" Why don't they send troops to exterminate these bandits?! ”

Nan Nanren sighed and said: "General Zhang is very resolute in fighting bandits, but this Wang San Mazi has an ambiguous relationship with Yin Rugeng, and has the support of the Japanese. The two places are mountainous and the terrain is complicated, and there are not enough troops, so it is quite difficult to encircle and suppress them. ”

Chu Tiange was puzzled: "Isn't Yin Rugeng the inspector of the Ji (County) Mi (Yun) District Administrative Office of the Hebei Hebei East African Military Region appointed by the National Government, it is his duty to exterminate bandits and maintain internal security, how can he collude with bandits?" ”

"What is this military master's surname?"

"Under the surname Chu."

"Chief Chu should be from Beiping, right?"

"Yes."

"Then it's no wonder, it seems that the matter of Yin Rugeng's collusion with the Japanese has not yet reached Beiping, and I think it won't be long before this place will soon become the territory of the Japanese."

"What?"

Nanfang Ren was about to answer, and a young man's voice sounded outside: "Dad! Nan Nan Ren was familiar with this voice, and said, "It's my son," and then shouted outside: "It's Nianxiang, come in." He said to Chu and Zhang at a very fast pace: "Yin Rugeng has long been sent to the Japanese through his Japanese wife, and now he has been sent to this place far away from the Emperor of the Heavenly High to fulfill his wish. ”

A young man wearing a military uniform of the Northeast Army walked in, shouted Dad again, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the two strangers, and hesitated: "Dad, I heard that Wang San Mazi called, there is nothing wrong in the village, right?" ”

Nan Nanren's face darkened, and he said, "The bandits have been beaten away, but your eldest brother and Huzi are all dead." ”

The young man's eyes widened, his hands clenched into fists, and he hissed, "What? Big Brother is dead? ”

"Come, let me introduce you to the benefactors first, if it weren't for them, our village would be a piece of rubble now. This is Chief Chu, and this is-" Nanfang Ren cleaned up his mood, introduced the three of them, looked at Zhang Xiaoquan and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I haven't asked this military master for his name." ”

Zhang Xiaoquan stood up shyly and said, "My surname is Zhang." ”

"Thank you both!" The young man saluted them first, shook hands with them warmly, and asked, "I don't know which unit the two of you belong to." ”

Zhang Xiaoquan looked at Chu Tiange, who thought for a while and said, "Brother Nianxiang, which unit are you from?" ”

Nan Nianxiang was refreshed and replied: "Below is the second brigade of the first column of the Yidong special police." ”

Chu Tiange was overjoyed when he heard it: "Ah! We are from the 29th Army Cadet Brigade, and we are looking for your column commander. ”

"The 29th Army Cadet Brigade? What is the relationship between the Cadet Corps and you? ”

"It was the predecessor of our brigade."

"Ahh Zhang Xiaoquan looked him up and down and shouted: "You are Chu Tiange, one of the two heroes of the Anti-Japanese War?" ”

Chu Tiange was taken aback: "You know me?" ”

"I've seen your photo in the newspaper, Brother Chu, thank you so much, Wang San Mazi's bandits are extremely vicious, if it weren't for the help of the two, the consequences would be really unimaginable! By the way, what are you looking for our Commander Zhang? ”

Chu Tiange told the truth.

When Nan Nianxiang heard this, she clasped her hands together and said happily: "Ah, it's really good, it seems that Commander Yu has not abandoned us." Brother Chu, Commander Zhang has gone to Tianjin for a meeting, can you stay here for two days? ”

"Okay!"

"Great, Dad, hurry up and order something delicious on the hour, I want to have a good talk with Brother Chu, hehe, this time, we don't need to be traitors!"

Coincidentally, this Nan Nianxiang is a squad leader in the second brigade of the first column of the special police, which is equivalent to a company-level cadre, and he has the opportunity to contact Zhang Qingyu and know some of the true thoughts of his own commander. Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian were arranged here by Yu Xuezhong, originally to maintain local law and order and prevent the infiltration of the Japanese, but with the development of the situation, the so-called situation is stronger than people, and as the Japanese become more and more powerful, there are only two fates left for the special police column, one is to accept the arrangement of the Japanese to act as a puppet army, and the other is to revolt and defect to the national control area. But the problem is that Yidong and Chadong are now equivalent to an isolated island hanging overseas, and they are not familiar with the 29th Army, so where should they retreat after the uprising? Without foreign aid, light infantry like them, who don't have a single cannon, would be vulnerable to the little devil's aircraft and artillery.

Nan Nanren is a temperamental Chinese old man, and he was very happy to hear his son say this, and he went to Zhang Luo for dinner in a hurry.

In the Japanese concession of Tianjin, in a Japanese-owned "Fuji" restaurant, a scandalous scene is being staged.

In addition to Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian, there are also security captains from Lulong, Qian'an, Funing, Changli, Luanxian, Leting, Linyu, Fengrun, Ninghe, Tongxian, Sanhe, Baodi, Jixian, Xianghe, Changping, Shunyi, Miyun, Huairou, Pinggu, Zunhua, Xinglong, and Yutian. At the main table in the middle, Yin Rugeng's brand-new Zhongshan suit and Tu Feiyuan's suit complement each other, but they are two competent protagonists.

At the beginning of the banquet, Tu Feiyuan stood up and said straight to the point: "Commissioner Yin, captains, I invite you here today to discuss the autonomy plan of the 22 counties in Yidong. The government of the Republic of China is rotten and the people are suffering, I think you should have a deep understanding of it, right? ”

Yin Rugeng immediately continued: "What the head of the organ said is extremely true," and then took the lead in applauding.

The applause crackled, and Tu Feiyuan waved his hand and said, "So, you all agree with autonomy?" ”

Yin Rugeng had a tacit understanding with him, stood up and bowed to him and said, "Your Excellency, I really bothered you, this is our family matter, but we have to worry about you. We have all read the autonomy plan, and for the sake of the well-being of the people of Yidong, we have gathered here to discuss the details of its implementation, and to express our deep gratitude to you and Commander Minamijiro in person. ”

Tu Feiyuan glanced at everyone with a smile: "Is this what you mean?" ”

Everyone nodded, regardless of whether they were true or false.

Daiki Dohihara: "Then let's open a champagne to celebrate!" ”

Unfortunately, the "Fuji" restaurant sold out of champagne. Yin Rugeng, the leading actor, is really hardworking, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "It's more interesting to celebrate with Japanese sake!" ”

So, the waiter brought sake to the shop, and everyone began to celebrate with it.

After three rounds of drinking, Tu Feiyuan saw that the goal was achieved, and was ready to leave with satisfaction, and before leaving, he specially called Yin Rugeng aside and instructed: "The matter of autonomy should not be delayed, as long as the established facts are created, then our Kwantung Army will definitely give full support." Yin Sang, you are a friend of the Great Japanese Empire, please. ”

Yin Rugeng bent down and nodded again and again, his appearance was seen coldly by Zhang Qingyu, and he said to Zhang Yantian: "Look, live a Pekingese dog!" ”

Zhang Yantian's face was a little solemn, and he said, "We became traitors like this?" ”

Zhang Qingyu sighed and didn't say anything - now in the whole of North China, the Central Army has all been evacuated, and the remaining 29th Army, Han Fuqu's Department, Yan Xishan's Department, and Fu Zuoyi's Department are all eyebrow-raising with the Japanese, they just don't want to be traitors, but the question is where to retreat?!

As the Chinese protagonist of the farce of "Yidong Autonomy", Yin Rugeng's degree of concern for labor is "admirable", and he rushed back to Tongzhou from Tianjin in spite of the wine and darkness that night, and arrived the next morning. Subsequently, he didn't eat breakfast, and before the dust was washed, he convened a meeting of the administrative leaders, announced the establishment of the "Yidong Defense Communist Autonomous Committee", and couldn't wait to hang the signboard of the "Hebei Eastern Defense Communist Autonomous Committee" at the gate of the Tongzhou Jimi Administrative Office. Immediately after, he began to intensively adjust the organizational structure, reappoint officials, and send troops to take over the telegraph office, telephone office, post office, and then take control of the railway station. After doing this, he held a press conference at noon, at which he issued a strongly-worded declaration of autonomy in the name of the chairman of the Autonomy Committee, and then telegraphed to the whole country: From now on, he will leave the central government and enter autonomy. At the same time, a telegram was sent to Song Zheyuan, Yan Xishan, Han Fuyu, Fu Zuoyi, Qin Dechun (chairman of the Chahar provincial government), and Shang Zhen, asking them to respond to their call and exercise autonomy, and to be willing to give up the post of chairman once the five provinces were merged.

From this point on, Yidong began to be chaotic, and the whole of North China may be involved in this farce of autonomy!
