Chapter 317: Helpless Decision

readx;? Han Xi hurriedly followed his subordinates to the front yard to take a look, and the subordinates in the yard were a little panicked, not knowing what to do. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this time, someone outside the courtyard shouted: "Listen, people inside, I am Li Yuanhong, deputy commander of the 93rd Division of Jing County." You have the audacity to detain the commander of the theater and his men for no reason! Release the men immediately, or we will attack!"

Han Xi's head buzzed when he heard this, and he said in his heart: "Didn't I just detain Liu Yong, the head of the security department? What kind of theater commander is waiting to be detained? Besides, if you lend me courage, I don't dare to detain the commander of the theater of operations! It's bad, I'm afraid that there is Commander Wang among these people, and they are all fucking wearing civilian clothes, and I don't recognize them." Thinking of this, a cold sweat suddenly popped out of Han Xi's head.

The people outside the courtyard shouted again: "I'll give you five minutes, and if you don't release the people after five minutes, we will attack!" A platoon commander under Han Xi came over and asked Han Xi, "Company commander, do you want to release the people?" Han Xi didn't care about the battalion commander's orders at this time, and said repeatedly: "Release people, release people quickly!" After speaking, he stumbled to the door of the room where Wang Haitao was being held.

The two soldiers standing guard at the gate were also at a loss for what to do, and they were relieved to see the company commander coming. Han Xi said in a loud voice: "Open the door quickly!" The two soldiers hurriedly opened the door, and Han Xi rushed into the room. But as soon as Han Xi rushed into the door, a pair of hands stretched out from behind the door, and Han Xi was restrained at once, and someone came up and pulled out the shell gun from Han Xi's waist.

At this time, Han Xi saw clearly that these people who had been tied up with all the flowers had broken free, and there was a person sitting directly opposite him, and everyone else was surrounding him. As soon as Han Xi understood, the muzzle of a gun was pressed against his head, and Han Xi, who was frightened, knelt down as soon as his legs became weak. Han Xi shouted: "Commander, spare my life! It was all ordered by our battalion commander He, I have to listen!"

Wang Haitao, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, glanced coldly at Han Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Mountain Leopard, take him out, order the soldiers in the courtyard to put down their weapons, open the courtyard gate, and let Master Li and them in." The Tangshan leopard, who subdued Han Xi, responded: "Yes, military seat." Escorted Han Xi out of the house. The soldiers in the courtyard did not know what to do, and when they saw that the company commander was escorted out, and they were ordered to lay down their weapons, they put down their weapons one after another and opened the courtyard gate.

When Li Yuanhong led people into the courtyard, Wang Haitao had already controlled the situation, and when he saw Li Yuanhong coming in, he said: "Yuanhong, hand it over to the security team here, you and I will go to the command headquarters, and we will meet Liao Zhen." After speaking, he took the lead and left the courtyard, Tangshan Leopard escorted Han Xi to follow Wang Haitao, Li Yuanhong and Liu Yong hurriedly explained to Lin Yuxi, and followed Wang Haitao with several members of the security team.

As soon as Wang Haitao and his people came to the gate of the headquarters of the 150th Division, they saw the soldiers of the guard battalion at the gate with loaded guns and ammunition. After Wang Haitao learned that Wu Jianzhou had already gone in to negotiate with the people of the 150th Division, he strode into the gate of the headquarters. Liao Zhen saw that it was Wang Haitao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, and hurriedly greeted him.

Liao Zhen said nervously to Wang Haitao: "Commander Wang, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! This group of turtle sons under my command has no eyes, and they actually arrested Commander Wang as a Japanese spy, I will definitely punish these turtle sons in a while, Commander Wang, you have a lot of adults, I will make amends to Commander Wang at noon!" Wang Haitao smiled and said: "Senior Commander Liao, I won't blame your subordinates too much for arresting me, but Senior Commander Liao really doesn't know why I came to Yangong Town in plain clothes?"

Wang Haitao's words first relieved Liao Zhen, but he was stunned by the question again. Yes, this Commander Wang will not come to my Yangong Town in civilian clothes for no reason, listen to Commander Wang's tone, this is something to say! Liao Zhen was a little confused, and asked: "Ah, I really don't know why Commander Wang came to this Yangong Town in civilian clothes." ”

Wang Haitao saw that Liao Zhen's expression didn't look like a fake, and his heart was also relieved, and said, "Then you have to ask your subordinate Han Company Commander I brought." Speaking of this, Wang Haitao beckoned, and Tangshan Leopard brought Han Xi up and pushed him in front of Liao Zhen. Liao Zhen stared at Han Xi suspiciously, and asked, "Aren't you Han Xi, the company commander of the first company of the special service battalion, tell me what good things your turtle son has done?"

Han Xi glanced up at Liao Zhen and Camp Commander He beside him, hesitating whether to speak. Liao Zhen was already impatient, reached out and took out a pistol from his waist, aimed it at Han Xi, and reprimanded: "You turtle son, say it quickly, or Lao Tzu will collapse you!" Han Xi was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he said in a loud voice: "Shizuo spare my life! It was all ordered by Battalion Commander He to do it, and I also acted on orders!"

Liao Zhen's whole body shook and turned to look at He Jingui, the commander of the guard battalion behind him. At this time, He Jingui already knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only start to remember it from the moment he fell in love with Liu Xianglan, until his subordinates misfired and inadvertently killed his father-in-law Liu Xiucai. Liu Xiucai's son immediately refused to give up, and in the end, He Jingui should pay a thousand yuan in compensation to let Liu Xiucai's son let go of something.

Afterwards, Liu Xiucai's son came to the door every day to ask for money, but He Jingui didn't want to pay the money at all, so Liu Xiucai's son threatened to go to the Jing County Police Station to file a complaint. He Jingui learned that Liu Xiucai's son really went to sue, and when he became angry, he asked his subordinate Han Xi to kill Liu Xiucai's son and throw the corpse on the mountain. He also went from house to house in the town to warn the people not to talk about the matter.

At this point, everything came to light, and Liao Zhenqi's hands trembled. He scolded: "You turtle son, if you really don't give Lao Tzu a long face, won't it be a thousand yuan? You don't have Lao Tzu to give it to you! You did this kind of thing without me, and I can't help you now." After finishing speaking, he shouted to the soldiers of the 150th Division in the courtyard: "Come on, tie up He Jingui and Han Xi to Lao Tzu." ”

A soldier came over and tied the two of them down, and Liao Zhen said: "Commander Wang, the lowly position is not strict with the discipline of his subordinates, and if this kind of thing happens, the lowly position must give Commander Wang an explanation." Wang Haitao saw that Liao Zhen was already like this, so he couldn't say it anymore, so he said: "Since Division Commander Liao was stationed in Yangong Town and Dingjiaqiao Town, it has been good, and the people are also very supportive of the officers and soldiers of the 150th Division, which is a good thing. ”

After saying this, Wang Haitao was about to leave with the troops, Liao Zhen repeatedly retained, and Wang Haitao couldn't be too unsympathetic, so he stayed with Wu Jianzhou, Li Yuanhong, Tangshan Leopard, and Liu Yong, and all the troops were taken back to Jing County by the chief officer. Liao Zhen set up a banquet in the best restaurant in Yangong Town, and wanted to make amends to Wang Haitao.

At the banquet, Liao Zhen said to Wang Haitao: "Commander Wang, this He Jingui is a good hand in war, and now is the time to employ people, Commander Wang, I want to ask for a favor, can Commander Wang raise his noble hand and leave He Linggui alive, Liao is grateful." "In fact, this matter is nothing to put in Sichuan, with the strength of Liao Zhen's first division, killing a small common man, if you kill an ant. This is the warlord.

Wang Haitao also knows this very well, and besides, the 150th Division must be the Sichuan army, not his own army, and Wang Haitao is also a little helpless about this matter. So Wang Haitao could only make a reluctant decision to sell this favor to Liao Zhen. Wang Haitao replied: "Master Liao, this matter has come to this, and I will not pursue it anymore, just let Master Liao deal with it, but Master Liao still has to give an explanation to the people of Yangong Town." ”

Liao Zhen was overjoyed and said: "Commander Wang, don't worry, I promise to give an explanation to the people of Yangong Town." Sure enough, on the third day after Wang Haitao and the others returned to Jing County, a report was sent by the Yangong Town Office, which was personally sent to Wang Haitao by the county magistrate Wang. According to the report, Zhang Ergou, a second-class soldier of the 1st Company of the 150th Division's Special Service Battalion, killed Liu Xiucai when he was robbing his relatives at Liu Xiucai's house, and then he was afraid that Liu Xiucai's son would complain, so he killed Liu Xiucai's son and threw his body into the mountains. This person has confessed all the facts, and in order to strictly enforce military discipline, Zhang Ergou was specially executed.

Wang Haitao knew at a glance that this was a strategy to hide from the sky and cross the sea, in order to protect He Jingui and Han Xi. In this regard, Wang Haitao can only turn a blind eye and no longer pursue it. This is also An Liaozhen's heart's move, although this move is really against Wang Haitao's principles. But at the moment when this great enemy is present, stability must come first.

After this incident, Wang Haitao focused on the war against Tongling again. The 93rd Division is almost ready, and the heavy artillery battalion and armored battalion are also in place. Wang Haitao thought about it for a while, leaving the 279th Brigade and auxiliary units stationed in Jing County, and the 2nd Battalion of the Guard Regiment also stayed in Jing County to serve as guards for several key departments.

Wang Haitao, Li Yuanhong, Wu Jianzhou, and Tangshan Leopard led the 277th Brigade and 278th Brigade, the 1st Battalion of the Guard Regiment, the 150th Howitzer Battalion of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, the 75th Mountain Artillery Battalion, the Light Tank Battalion and the Combat Vehicle Battalion of the Armored Regiment to Nanling County. Huang Gang, commander of the 279th Brigade, was solely responsible for Jing County.

In Nanling County, Wang Haitao and Yang Junchang, commander of the 171st Division, formed a temporary joint command headquarters at the headquarters of the 171st Division to command the Tongling Battle. In Wang Haitao's plan, this time he wanted to capture Fanchang County, which belonged to Wuhu City, and Guichi County [now Chizhou area] between Tongling and Anqing, so that his territory could be linked to Anqing.

The task that Wang Haitao was going to hand over to the 171st Division was to capture Fanchang County and cut off the Japanese army's reinforcements from Wuhu to Tongling. Considering that there were only more than 4,000 people left in the 171st Division, Wang Haitao drew the 569th Regiment from the 277th Brigade and the 171st Division to act together. The 75 Mountain Artillery Battalion of the Heavy Artillery Regiment was also placed under the command of the 171st Division.

The 568th Regiment of the 277th Brigade took the 278th Brigade as the main attacker, and the armored regiment assisted in the attack. The 1st Battalion of the Guard Regiment was on standby in Nanling City as the general reserve for the battle. Because Guichi County was close to Huangshan and Anqing, and there was only one squadron of Japanese troops stationed there, it was handed over to the New Fourth Army to attack, which also laid the groundwork for the New Fourth Army to cross the river in the future.
