Chapter 20: The Reason for the Traitor

On a low-lying piece of land near Hujiatun, Xue Ru, Lai Changwen and Hu Yan crouched on a mound, looking at the small village with some faint lights in the distance.

Along the way, Hu Yan introduced the situation in the village. This is a company under the 1st Brigade of the Yasukuni Army, which can be regarded as a logistics baggage company. The attacking Japanese army did not trust them at all, besides

These Yasukuni troops were also not active in attacking the positions of the national troops, and once they were counterattacked, they retreated.

Even the puppet Manchurian army transferred from the northeast is not good, although the combat effectiveness is similar to that of the third-rate baggage troops of the imperial army, but the will to fight is not good at all. Munetake Yamamuro, of course, understood, that the main thing was to face the Chinese army. These puppet Manchurian troops are absolutely not soft in their attack on the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and their combat effectiveness is still okay. However, as soon as they entered the customs and faced the national troops, the strength of the team immediately dropped to zero.

This is a psychological factor, and Kenji Dohihara, the head of the secret service of China Tong, is of course very clear. Matsui Ishine accepted the advice of the secret service that the main offensive force was still the troops directly under the Imperial Army.

After all, the Songhu battlefield is not the North China battlefield, and the elite Central Army of the Chinese government army is concentrated here. Therefore, the two brigades transferred from the northeast became the garrison of the occupied zone.

And this last-class Yasukuni Army is even more miserable, they don't even count the stepmother's support. A soldier of the Northeast puppet Manchurian army felt superior to them. These national troops who were scattered and captured and surrendered were all reorganized together. The brigade commander Chang Shukun was a regiment commander of the former 51st Army in North China, because he was more loyal to the Imperial Japanese Army and was an officer of the Northeast Army, he recruited some people to form a force to surrender to the devils.

During the Battle of Songhu this time, most of the Japanese troops did not know Chinese and did not understand Chinese, so two brigades were transferred to the northeast and the Yasukuni Army in northern China was transferred at the same time. But it didn't work, they couldn't even get a translator out.

In order to cope with the rapidly expanding occupation zone, Matsui transferred many Koreans to Korea and asked them to serve as interpreters for various units. The puppet Manchurian army became a garrison force, and the Yasukuo Army became a transport team.

As the Japanese army advanced, it was difficult to replenish the land by sea, and although the Chinese air force was not many, they were not afraid of death, piloting the Hawker aircraft and the old Soviet N-series aircraft, and they also took off tenaciously to bomb the Japanese supply lines.

Without the containment of the Chinese Air Force, the Songhu battlefield would have been even more difficult. The Japanese began to have a hard time, and Chief of Staff Katamura Shihachi Daisa gave Yamamuro Munetake a suggestion, that is, let the Yasukuni Army pretend to be the Chinese army to grab food around, and at the same time protect the storage of supplies.

This would not only increase the resentment of the Chinese people against their own army, but also solve the food problem for the army, and these garbage-like surrendered troops would be of little use anyway.

As the Chinese troops withdrew to the south of Yunzaohama, there were no more Chinese troops in this area, and the very bold Yasukuni Army began to grab food for the Japanese. Of course, it's not just food, it's about what you grab.

The people around them were unlucky and fled from here, and if they didn't escape, they wouldn't be able to live.

Many of these surrendered soldiers were captured and surrendered by the officials, bullied by the Japanese, and were angry with the puppet Manchu army, and at the same time the Chinese hated them even more, making them not human inside and out.

Hu Yan was also a small platoon commander, who was surrounded by devils at that time, believed Chang Shukun's words, and joined the Yasukuni Army, but soon began to be dissatisfied, contacted some brothers, prepared to escape, defected to the national army, and set himself up as the king if he didn't work.

But before the operation, a well-connected soldier mutinied, and when the brigade commander wanted to arrest him, a brother took the risk to inform him that Hu Yan escaped. was chased here by the Yasukuni Army, and was covered by the people of Gujia Village, that is, Fan Tiezhu saved him. It is because of this that the Yasukuni Army took the opportunity to seize this place. In order to hunt down nonsense, he was robbed twice.

As far as Fan Tiezhu's head is concerned, the iron heart who was fooled followed by nonsense after three strokes and five divisions by two. When Xue Ru and the others came, the Yasukuni Army had just been gone for a short time, and they caught up with the burning of the sixth aunt's house, how could she know what the central army or the local army was, and regarded Xue Ru and them as a group. Seeing that the sixth aunt was kicked, he rushed out angrily.

But he was caught by Xue Ru, but he was interceded by the village chief and let go. As soon as Hu Yan, who was hidden in the shadows, heard that Xue Ru and they were planning to move this Yasukuni Army company, he felt that it was an opportunity, so he secretly told Fan Tiezhu that he knew the place and took them there.

Hu Yan has his own plans, so he wants to take some people away, if he joins the national army, he can become an officer, and if he is self-reliant, he will have capital. If you have a gun, you are the king of grass, and he knows this too well.

But Fan Tiezhu was too anxious, and easily let Xue Ru see through, so he had to come forward himself. I believe that as long as you kill those devil advisors and puppet Manchurian officers, most of them will be able to follow them. At that time, Xue Ru and they only had twenty people, and they had to listen to themselves, so they didn't have to give them anything.

I can't say these words, but the others are not hidden from Xue Ru, and I still have to count on her subordinates. Xue Ru rarely interjected and listened to him all the time. looked at the Yasukuni Army in the distance, and whispered a few words to Xiao Yong.

Xiao Yong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and ordered a few of his people in a low voice. Suddenly, he pressed Fan Tiezhu and Hu Yan to the ground and tied them up. This surprised Hu Yan, but the mouths of the two were gagged.

Xue Ru didn't look at them either, and said directly: "The whole action is lurking in, catch the company commander Zhang Ziyue, and kill the Japanese adviser." The besieging soldiers forced them to surrender, and those who have nonsense should be fine. ”

Lai Changwen gave a thumbs up: "Gao Ming." ”

Hu Yan thought that he was very smart, but he definitely didn't expect Xue Ru to be much smarter than him, and this time he was busy working for nothing to lay a good foundation for others. Looking at Xue Ru with angry eyes, the is really shameless.

Xue Ru didn't even look at him, checked whether the binding was firm, waved his hand and threw the two of them here, and led people to the puppet army station under the earthen hill.

Zhang Ziyue didn't expect that there were still people who dared to fight his idea, and the surrounding national troops all retreated, and there were no resistance troops at all. The Imperial army attacked quickly, the Kuomintang troops retreated, and many local governments also withdrew, leaving only the people behind.

He was very excited these days, and the imperial army just said that he wanted food, and he didn't care about anything else. This is an opportunity to make a fortune, of course, depending on what you rob. Whether it is the rich or the common people, it is just swept away, but the nonsense that escaped and was not caught made him a little angry.

Today I robbed Hujia Village again, but it was too poor and there was nothing at all, so I would like to lead people to a farther place tomorrow to rob it. This is the area around Shanghai, in the hinterland of the plains, and it is very rich. Even ordinary people are very rich, not as poor as in northern China.

Zhang Ziyue, who had a good calculation, fell down to rest, and planned to go to Xincheng tomorrow to have a look, I heard that it was a big town, and there were many rich families. I was dreaming and sleeping, but I didn't know that the four sentry posts I arranged were beaten unconscious and tied up.

There is information provided by Hu Yan, of course, it is very accurate, Xue Ru took Guo Yongcai and Zhao Dejiang directly to Zhang Ziyue's residence. When Zhang Ziyue was awakened, he saw two bayonets and a pistol.

Seeing this national army uniform, Zhang Ziyue knelt on the ground at that time: "General, woman, uncle spare my life, I was also forced." ”

Xue Ru knew that Zhang Ziyue was from Tieling, Liaoning, and he was a hardcore traitor at all. This person was born in the Northeast with a beard, and he wouldn't believe anything, but he just smiled and said: "It's okay, let your people, lay down their weapons, we just want things, don't die." ”

Hearing Xue Ru's words, Zhang Ziyue felt relieved. He saw that Xue Ru was not wearing a military uniform, it was obvious that he was a straggler and took the opportunity to make a fortune. Nodding again and again: "I listen to orders, I listen to orders." ”

Such a smooth process was somewhat unexpected by Xue Ru, and Zhang Ziyue was escorted out. The people of the village rushed to the edge, and the center was surrounded by barbed wire and a wooden fence, in which grain and some looted goods were stored, and they watched the Japanese soldier kneeling on the ground.

What kind of adviser is the devil who supervises the puppet army, he is just a senior soldier, not even a sergeant, and he is very arrogant and even manages a company of the Yasukuni Army. He is like the emperor here, living in a room alone, but before his Baga Yalu can scold him, he was beaten unconscious.

At this time, he was pressed to his knees and looked at Xue Ru and the others with hateful eyes. The more than 100 Yasukuni Army soldiers and officers were pressed in the middle, surrounded by more than a dozen * facing them. Xue Ru looked at Zhang Ziyue: "Company Commander Zhang, what do you say I should do with you?" ”

Zhang Ziyue now understands a little, these people are not asking for money and things, I am afraid they will die. He bowed again and again: "Sir, the villain was also forced to be helpless." Please raise your noble hand and spare my life, I will never be a traitor again. ”

Xue Ru said to these scared soldiers: "You are all Chinese, devils occupy our country's territory, kill my compatriots, as men, as soldiers, do you not want to serve the country and the people, but you are willing to be a lackey traitor, don't you feel shameful?" Are you worthy of the parents who raised you, and have the face to see your ancestors? ”

These words are not a big truth, but when they come out of the mouth of a girl, many people are ashamed. One of them took a step forward and said: "I am the Northeast Army, and it has been six years since the Northeast fell, what help has the government given us?" We run out of ammunition and food, we are surrounded by devils, what can we do if we don't surrender? ”

Xue Ru was a little speechless, because she knew that what the Northeast had lost was not worth it. Hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army, without firing a single shot, all retreated. Later generations said everything, whether they complained about Zhang Xueliang or Chiang Kai-shek, whoever said it made sense.

However, one thing is undeniable, from the beginning of the 31st year to the 37th year, the Guannai Nationalist Government did not give any assistance to the Northeast, which was almost the same as acquiescence. At first, there were more than 300,000 resistance troops, but later there were less than 30,000 people, and they were still divided.

But it was impossible for Xue Ru not to speak: "I don't want to ask who your name is, because you are too shameless." If the Nationalist Government doesn't help, you can not resist the Japanese, but why did you surrender? What did you do after surrendering? Haven't you killed the Chinese? Didn't you help the Japanese to harm the Chinese people? Haven't you robbed the Chinese people's supplies when you entered the customs? Do you dare to say no? ”

The man was speechless for a while. Xue Ru said: "Brothers, I believe that most of you are filial sons, the country is like parents, no matter how wrong they are, we can ignore him, but we can't help outsiders come back and bully their parents, brothers and sisters, is that still human?" It's like this shameless person has become a lackey, and he is still uplifting and reasonable. The Japanese killed your compatriots and sisters, not only did you not have the courage to stop it, but you also helped them, what is it, are you still human? ”

The man was said to bow his head, and he was also ashamed. This is what he has always believed, when he was surrounded, in the face of surrender, he felt that such words were too reasonable, and let him become a traitor with peace of mind.

Xue Ru saw that many people lowered their heads and said: "Team Leader Xiao, it is a scourge for such a person to stay, he not only defected and surrendered himself, but also found a reason for himself, completely forgetting that he was Chinese. Let him pay for his actions and correct the Fa on the spot. ”

A gunshot rang out, and the man, who didn't even say his name, was shot in the head.

What's going on? Obviously he has already made this man ashamed, why do you want to kill him? Even Xiao Yong, who executed it, didn't understand.

Xue Ru's face wanted to be ugly, because everything aroused a lot of angry thoughts in her later life. Those who posted on the Internet, a boycott of Japanese products, made many shameless people say, because Chinese goods are not good, the quality is not as good as Japan, and the cost performance is high, and it is very shameless to say, who makes Chinese goods bad?

Even the ancients knew: "The son is not ugly to the mother, and the dog is not to be poor", but there are so many traitors who have milk and are mothers, and they are looking for reasons for their shameless betrayal.

But in a society governed by the rule of law, what can Xue Ru do no matter how angry he is? Today she came to this era, and she held the power of life and death in her hands, so she took the anger in her heart out on this person and ordered the execution of this person who shamelessly found reasons for his apostasy and surrender.

This action can't help but say that it scared the entire puppet army, which of them hasn't done anything bad? Although they were all reluctant to surrender, they still chose to bend their knees in the face of death. Xue Ru said: "I'll give you one last chance, if you want to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, stand on the left." If you want to go home, stand on the right, and if you still want to be a traitor, don't move, start. ”

These people rioted for a while, in fact, most of them wanted to go home, no one wanted to resist the Japanese, they were already frightened. The Japanese are too strong, and China can't beat the Japanese.

However, there were also many people who had enmity with the Japanese, and in five or six minutes, a company of 160 people stood only about 50 people on the left and more than 100 people on the right. Lai Changwen said in a low voice: "Captain, in fact, these people are made up together, and they have to bear it, there is no need to let them go, there are not many of us." ”

Xue Ru sneered: "A good tiger can block the way, a black blind man has a hundred and fifty pairs of bears, such a person has a million and a fart." The number of the national army on the battlefield is several times that of devils, and what are the casualties? What the special combat team needs is a crack soldier, not an indiscriminate soldier. ”

Lai Changwen felt proud for a while, yes, no wonder Xue Ru just wanted more than 20 people of his own, and he didn't expand at all. Nodding his head, he said, "What about these people?" ”

Xue Ru said: "Bring Hu Yan and Fan Tiezhu." ”
