The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 363 Who Is More Cunning
Dai Yong had his own reasons for ordering to guard the courtyard of the regiment headquarters of the [-]st Regiment.

As a colleague, he understands the heart of people like Lu Duoxian at the moment, even if he surrenders, he wants to bring more people together.

Until the last moment, Lu Duoxian would not really wipe out all of them here.

Of course, there is also an element of gambling.

"Brothers, the gate of the courtyard is narrow. Although our firepower is insufficient, as long as the firepower is properly deployed, it is enough to hold on for a while!"

While taking the lead in fighting, Dai Yong encouraged him.

The adjutant followed Dai Yong. Just now, when he repelled the charge of the [-]st Regiment, in order to cover Dai Yong, he helped Dai Yong block a shot, and his left arm was wounded.

"Qiu Bai, what's the matter, is the injury serious?"

"Don't worry, sir, I was bitten by Gou Ri's traitor." Qiu Bai shouted lowly, and then smiled wryly: "It's just, sir, this is the territory of the [-]st Regiment after all, and we are already besieged in the courtyard. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck."

Dai Yong nodded, noticing that the offensive of the [-]st Regiment outside the courtyard had weakened, he said, "Obviously, that bastard Lu Duoxian wants to use up all the ammunition we have, and then capture me alive."

"Qiu Bai, although we have been working together for a short time, I believe in your character. I want to ask you one thing, is it possible?"

Qiu Bai said decisively: "Sir, you just give the order."

Dai Yong hummed and said, "I am a soldier. Although I may not be considered a pure soldier because of the nature of my organization, in my opinion, since I am a soldier, there is no difference."

"A soldier should die standing up, not live on his knees!"

"Since I joined the army, I have also killed many traitors and Japanese invaders, and eradicated many spies and spies."

"Lu Duoxian's rebellion against the enemy is an unforgivable crime. If we can survive today, in the future, even if it is an assassination, I will definitely take the life of this traitor."

"It's just that the current situation is terrible. I'm afraid there is no room for turning around. I want to ask you to protect those reporters. No matter what, let them live, even if it is temporarily surrendering to the enemy, even if it is temporarily being a traitor, even if it is humiliation. , and must ask them to live.”

"It is a fact that Lu Duoxian, the head of the [-]st Regiment, has rebelled against the enemy. I, Dai, hate traitors the most in my life."

"If we all died here today, the surrender of the [-]st Regiment to the Japanese invaders would still be exposed, but it might not attract much attention."

"Since the Japanese invaded China, have there been fewer incidents of troops defecting to the enemy?"

"I hope that things can be stopped from us, so that these reporters can live. As long as they have the opportunity to leave and return to the newspaper office, they can make today's events public and sound the alarm for the people of the country, so as to wake up those capitulators and compromisers."

"There are fewer surrenderers and compromisers who betray the enemy and the country. Perhaps this is the key to this Sino-Japanese war!"

"In addition, if no one has passed on the news today, the truth that Lu Duoxian has completely betrayed the enemy and colluded with the Japanese may not be passed on in a short time.

If Lu Duoxian just makes up an excuse, and the follow-up troops come in by mistake like ours, I'm afraid we will repeat the same mistakes again. "

Qiu Bai said with emotion: "Sir, you can ask other people for this matter, Qiu Bai is willing to fight to the death with you."

Dai Yong shook his head and said, "No, the only one I can trust is you."

Qiu Bai was silent for a moment, then said: "Sir, there is a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. You are the elite of the party and country. Why don't you surrender to the Japanese for a while, save the country, and then serve the party and the country in the future?"

Dai Yong laughed and said: "It's such a curve to save the country, I am afraid that I will surrender and surrender. It won't be long before I forget all about the bullshit curve to save the country."

"Dai is not a person with a firm mind."

"In addition, because of my identity, once I surrender, it means that a large amount of information in my hands will be revealed."

"These are things that are more important than my life. All I can do is to die loyally. It doesn't matter."

Dai Yong's words were very decisive, and Qiu Bai was a little shocked by his calmness in the face of death.

Qiu Bai solemnly paid a military salute to Dai Yong, and replied:

"Don't worry, sir, even if Qiu Bai puts his life to death, he will definitely fulfill the commission of the chief!"

"please!"

After receiving the order, Qiu Bai, the adjutant, immediately led a few soldiers towards a corner of the courtyard, in the direction of the reporter.

……

……

Outside the courtyard, when Lu Duoxian commanded the soldiers to charge towards the courtyard, Takatoshi Kudo, the head of the devil's secret service, rushed over with a few Japanese guards.

Now in front of Kudo Tatoshi, Lu Duoxian's attitude is more respectful.

There is no way, for Lu Duoxian, the exchange of fire with Dai Yong and his party in front of him can be regarded as a complete statement of his position. From now on, only the Japanese will be backed by him. How can he dare to swing at both ends like before? ?
Of course, if Lu Duoxian can use his tricks, he will unite with Dai Yong and his party to wipe out Kudo and his party of Japanese inside the garrison in front of the reporters.

Maybe it can also be used to wash away his infamy of rebellion against the enemy.

Of course, such an idea probably only passed in Lu Duoxian's mind for a short time.

After all, it's still too cowardly.

Looking at Lu Duoxian's completely different respect from the previous days, this is what Kudo Tatoshi wanted.

"Commander Lu, is this what you mean by persuading surrender? Now it seems that the effect is not very good."

Kudo, who had arrived, spoke with some sarcasm.

Lu Duoxian said with a smile: "Your Excellency, wait a moment, Dai Yong and the others are not regular troops. They only have some pistols and not much ammunition. If I launch two more charges from my side, they will run out of ammunition. , then all of them will be captured alive.”

Kudo frowned slightly: "Commander Lu, you must have felt compassion for your colleagues, right?"

Lu Duoxian hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Zhongzuo, you are joking, this is absolutely impossible, and now I am determined to serve the Imperial Army of Japan.

Your Excellency, you think, Dai Yong is a member of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission. He must have a lot of information in his hands, including some important information of the Central Army.

If this person can be captured alive, wouldn't it be more beneficial to our Great Japanese Imperial Army? "

Lu Duoxian said this to the point, and directly touched Kudo Takatoshi's heartstrings.

Kudo immediately patted Lu Duoxian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yuxi, Commander Lu, you are indeed loyal to our Great Japanese Imperial Army!"

"Hi! Willing to serve the emperor and serve His Excellency!" Lu Duoxian said seriously.

The two were talking, and the messenger came to report:

"Report to the group, brat... Taijun and the others are here!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Kudo's mouth: "Captain Lu, it seems that our Imperial Japanese Army Squadron has arrived."

"After this discussion, Commander Lu and your regiment will be reorganized into the Fourth Army of the North China Security Army under the Imperial Japanese Army."

"At that time, Commander Lu will be the commander of the Fourth Army. Commander Lu, congratulations!"

It's just a false name, but Lu Duoxian's heart seems to have been wiped with honey, and his face is full of smiles.

"Hi, thank you, Lieutenant Commander, for letting me go. I will devote my allegiance to the Empire of Japan and my lordship to the Emperor."

Kudo Tatoshi said: "In addition, the Royal Army Squadron came here this time, except for the handover with Commander Lu."

"In the future, we will also assist Commander Lu's team to be responsible for the garrison of the jurisdiction."

Lu Duoxian asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, Zhong Zuo, what does this mean?"

Kudo Tatoshi smiled and said: "According to Taiyuan City, the instructions of the First Army Command of the Empire of Japan in Shanxi.

The Fourth Army of the North China Security Army, which was reorganized from Commander Lu's [-]st Regiment, was temporarily stationed at the original station after it was formally established, and cooperated with the surrounding Imperial Army troops to garrison the occupied area. "

Speaking of this, Kudo Tatoshi said in relief: "It means that Commander Lu's team is still temporarily stationed in your area.

In this way, perhaps the soldiers of the Fourth Army will adapt a bit. "

Lu Duoxian was a little confused, "Your Excellency, Zhongzuo, I...I still want to lead a team to the county."

Lu Duoxian is not stupid, it's freezing outside, how can I stay comfortably in a county town?

In addition, once the news of his rebellion spread out, the Central Army might come to destroy him. It was too unsafe to stay outside.

Over the years, he has always had the intention of surrendering to the Japanese, isn't he thinking that after becoming a traitor, he can enjoy peace and happiness?
It's just that Kudo Tatoshi obviously won't follow Lu Duoxian's wishes.

It's just that the two sides use each other.

"Commander Lu, don't worry, staying in this outlying station is only temporary. When the time is right, Commander Lu can naturally lead the Fourth Army to enter the county." Kudo said.

Kudo has his own plan.

After the [-]st regiment surrendered to the Japanese army.

On the one hand, the Japanese army will send troops to be stationed at the [-]st Regiment's garrison. On the other hand, officers at all levels of the [-]st Regiment can also arrange for Japanese officers to take over and command.

On the other hand, the Japanese can do a lot more by taking advantage of the defection incident of the [-]st Regiment.

For example, right now, as long as the news does not leak out, how can the national army know the news that the [-]st Regiment has surrendered to the enemy?
Kudo even wanted to use the [-] regiment to catch some big fish.

In addition, the [-]st Regiment has been a double-faced middleman over the years, buying supplies from the national army, and then doing business with the Japanese army as a link, which has made the Japanese a lot of profits.

Now that the [-]st Regiment has surrendered, Kudo is reluctant to interrupt such a good business chain.

Therefore, if the [-]st Regiment's original mode of getting along with the national army can be stabilized, it will naturally be the most wonderful for Kudo.

As for Lu Duoxian, now he has completely lost the capital to negotiate fairly with Kudo. Even if he knows that he is being used by Kudo, he can only bite his steel teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Hi! This subordinate takes orders!" Lu Duoxian reluctantly responded, forcing a smile on his face.

Takatoshi Kudo laughed.

Then the topic changed, Kudo Tatoshi said: "There is one more thing, Commander Lu, this is the first handover between our Royal Army Squadron and your [-]st Regiment, please Commander Lu, please ensure the loyalty of your team."

Lu Duoxian asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Kudo Tatoshi said: "Could it be possible that Commander Lu forgot the surrender incident in Taiyuan City last time?"

Lu Duoxian said bitterly: "I can't forget, they are all those bastard Eighth Route Army!"

If it weren't for the Eighth Route Army, Lu Duoxian could have negotiated with Kudo happily, and even stabilized the relationship with the national army.

Eat both sides, how can you be so passive like you are now?

Kudo said: "It's not just the Eighth Route Army. From that accident, it's not hard to infer that Commander Lu's team may have been infiltrated."

Lu Duoxian said: "Your Excellency, Zhong Zuo, isn't what you said a little too much? Last time, the Eighth Route Army wore the clothes of soldiers from the [-]st Regiment and mixed in with them, which led to a misunderstanding between us, but my [-]st regiment A group of brothers, that is definitely of one mind with me.

Over the years, my brothers and I have walked all the way without any accidents. Isn't it because my [-]st regiment is united? "

Kudo said with a smile: "Commander Lu can guarantee that his team will be united when facing the national army, but what if Commander Lu's team is infiltrated by the Eighth Route Army?"

"This……"

Lu Duoxian was taken aback.

Tatoshi Kudo hit the rails while it was hot: "Did Commander Lu forget the photos that were exposed in the Anti-Japanese National Daily in the Kuomintang-controlled area about you and I meeting in private? Why were these photos leaked? It is not difficult to judge, it is very likely that it is Commander Lu The team has been planted spies."

The shrewdness of the Japanese in front of him made Lu Duoxian secretly startled, and the reason Kudo said really made Lu Duoxian a little shaken.

"But Commander Lu, don't have to worry. In the future, the Japanese Imperial Army will replace Commander Lu and find out the internal spies one by one."

"It's just that Commander Lu needs to pay attention to one thing right now, that is, when handing over to the squadron of our Great Japanese Imperial Army, he must ensure the loyalty of the team behind him.

If someone hides in it again and suddenly fires, leading to a firepower conflict similar to the one in Taiyuan City at that time, then you will fall into the enemy's trick again.

In the future, after the Imperial Army and your Imperial Association Army are fully integrated, such misunderstandings will not be easily caused. "

Lu Duoxian nodded and said, "Hey, don't worry, your Excellency, Lieutenant Commander. For this handover, I will select soldiers from the [-]st Regiment who have more than two years of military experience. Such soldiers will never be infiltrated by the Eighth Route Army."

"Yaoxi, it's safe like this." Kudo Takatoshi said with a smile.

……

On the other side, just as the Japanese squadron was heading towards the [-]st Regiment's station.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, who led the team in ambush, immediately detected the situation.

"Old Kong, the little devil is here. Damn it, the national army sentry at the entrance is leading the way for the little devil! If it's not a traitor to the enemy, it's damn hell."

Kong Jie said: "The gunshots in the [-]st Regiment's garrison are still ringing intermittently. It seems that the batch of Central Army, Jinsui Army officers, and reporters who went in before have not been eliminated."

"It is estimated that this devil's stubborn army wants to catch him alive." Li Yunlong said.

Kong Jie agreed, "It's very possible."

"Old Li, then we will divide our troops into three groups according to the plan. One way will capture the artillery company of the [-]st Regiment of the Recalcitrant Army, the other way will capture the machine gun company of the [-]st Regiment, and the other way will focus on attacking this Japanese squadron. Machine gun and artillery battery support."

"As long as this Japanese squadron can be quickly defeated."

"The [-]st Regiment was not united and did not formally surrender to the Japanese army.

In addition, the comrades of the enemy industry department of our independent regiment who were lurking in the [-]st regiment will secretly support them at that time, and drive the soldiers in the [-]st regiment who are unwilling to surrender to the devils to become traitors anyway. "

"We've got our hands on this battle."

"Okay!" Li Yunlong said...
