Chapter 88 088 Zhou Weiguo: Assault on Lincheng County (4.2K)

Compared with the Japanese side, the atmosphere of the independent battalion is happy and active.

After all, he had just won two big victories in a row, seized so many weapons, equipment and supplies, and his morale was high.

"Battalion Commander, the 474 captives from the new Tenth Regiment of the Public Security Army have assembled outside, do you see?" Ou Xiang reported to Wang Lianghui who was discussing work with Sun Shulin.

Wang Liang signaled Ou Xiang to wait for a while.

What Sun Shulin reported to Wang Liang was the recent progress of Liu Cheng's business development.

Since Wang Liang provided sufficient start-up capital, Liu Chengcheng has not been idle.

Immediately went to Xing City to do research, and within a few days, the business was really started.

According to Sun Shulin, Liu Cheng has already opened a restaurant in Xing City and found a backer.

The identity of the backer is Kazuyoshi Fujita, a senior employee of Japan Matsuchang Corporation in Xing City.

This person once served as a low-level military attache at the Japanese Legation in North Korea, ranging from officer to lieutenant, and then came to China to do business after retiring from the army.

After hearing the resume of Fujita Kazuyoshi, Wang Liang couldn't help frowning.

Songchang foreign firm, senior staff, minister attaché, retired lieutenant.

The superimposition of these names gave Wang Liang a feeling that this person would definitely not be a simple businessman.

agent?spy?
Wang Liang couldn't help worrying, he was really afraid that Liu Cheng would be exposed and something bad happened.

After all, he had worked in the Shishi Railway Guard before, and he was wanted after his identity was found out, and there was quite a commotion at that time.

Sun Shulin's next words dispelled Wang Liang's worries to a certain extent.

First of all, Liu Cheng used fake identities and names when he was working in the Shishi Railway Guard, and then Yaozi ran over there, stole all relevant materials and photos, and destroyed them.

The relationship with Fujita Kazuyoshi was also before working on the railway, and the two did not have any intersection during the incubation period.

Moreover, Liu Cheng and Fujita Kazuyoshi are old acquaintances, and they have saved their lives.

It turned out that Fujita brought his family with him when he came to China. His daughter contracted malaria as soon as she arrived, and the doctors in the hospital were helpless.

In the end, Liu Cheng helped him find a special medicine that was in short supply through his relationship with the military commander, and rescued his daughter who had already stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.

Therefore, Fujita and Fang have always been very grateful to Liu Cheng and regarded him as a lifesaver.

This time I was very happy to see Liu Cheng in Xing City. Hearing that Liu Cheng was going to do business here, Fujita even introduced many officials to him.

With the help of Fujita, Liu Cheng's restaurant did not encounter any trouble during the whole process from preparation to opening.

Now Liu Cheng is studying to open a factory.

Hearing Sun Shulin say such a great deal, Wang Liang became somewhat interested in this Fujita and Fang.

If this person can be used for himself like Takeda Heiji, then his Japanese identity has a lot of development and utilization value.

Wang Liang planned to go to Xing City in the near future. On the one hand, he wanted to see Liu Cheng's business and get in touch with Fujita and Fang.

On the other hand, Wang Liang is now a major inspector of the Military Command Inspectorate Office, so he has to go to the Military Command Xingshi Station to inspect it.

After chatting with Sun Shulin, Wang Liang and Ou Xiang went to deal with the 474 prisoners of the puppet army.

At that time, Wang Liang had done research. Diao Xuexue’s security guards were really ruthless in their daily activities of crusade and suppression, and they had the blood of anti-Japanese fighters on their hands. Animals are naturally not allowed to stay.

As for the captives of the 10th Regiment, Wang Liang learned that quite a few of them were forced to make a living or were arrested and joined.

Moreover, the 10th Regiment was newly formed. It had been trained for more than half a year, and it was completely wiped out by its own independent battalion before it had ever fought a serious battle.

So Wang Liang's idea is to absorb what these people can absorb.

When I came to the open space at the east end of Ximeng Village, my good fellow, the little five hundred people seemed to be quite a lot, a large densely packed area.

Zhao Shoutian has already prepared the megaphone for Wang Liang.

The captives were dejected one by one, because they didn't know what the result was waiting for them.

And today, Eighth Road brought them to this open space, and they couldn't help thinking of the scene of Japanese soldiers massacring Chinese prisoners of war.

As soon as the machine guns were set up, hundreds of people fell into a pool of blood, and then Japanese soldiers would check and replace the guns one by one.

Thinking of this, some prisoners have already begun to wipe their tears.

Seeing this gang of spineless and soft bones, Wang Liang didn't fight anywhere, and shouted:

"What the hell is everyone doing with their heads down? I know I've become a traitor and a bitch, so I'm sorry?! Can't hold my head up?!"

"Or do you think that today's posture seems familiar, afraid of being suddenly killed by Lao Tzu's machine gun? Afraid of death?!"

"Let me tell you, our Eighth Route Army is not a Japanese devil!"

"Today, as the commander of the Independent Battalion of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, I promise that none of you will die! You can all live well!"

"Hold your head up for me!"

Hearing this, the prisoners could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Liang said again: "Okay, okay, look at you gang of spineless things."

"I originally wanted to mobilize you to join the Eighth Route Army and fight devils with us."

"But look at your cowardly looks now, I don't want any of you anymore!"

"Ou Xiang!"

Ou Xiang hurriedly came out: "Yes!"

"Register information for them, pay travel expenses, and tell them to leave immediately, I don't want to see them again!" Wang Liang said angrily.

"Yes!" Ou Xiang trotted again, and immediately arranged for someone to implement it.

Wang Liang said to the captives: "After taking the travel expenses, hurry home, farm the land honestly, and live a life of being enslaved by the Japanese."

"But I'll put my ugly words in front of you. I have registered your names and addresses."

"If you become a traitor again and get caught by me again, you won't be able to get the toll back home like today. I'll send you back to your hometown directly!"

Having said that, one of the prisoners, an officer with a major card, couldn't help it: "Report!"

"Talk!" Wang Liang glanced at this guy and knew that his name was Cao Jiawei, a staff officer of the newly formed 10th Regiment, and a native of Northeast China.

According to Wang Liang's understanding, Cao Jiawei was also from the Fengjun Army, and he had always opposed Liu Jinhuan and Liu Yinhuan's troops to join the Japanese.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Yinhuan was squeezed out, and Liu Yinhuan directly gave him the position of battalion commander and made him a staff officer in the regiment headquarters.

As the saying goes, if a staff officer doesn't have a commander, he won't fart.

In the new 10th Regiment, the company commander didn't take a look at him, the major's staff officer.

After Cao Jiawei came out, he was filled with righteous indignation: "Sir, my family is from Shen City, Liao Province. My family is gone. May I ask which family you want us to return to?"

Cao Jiawei pointed to the captives behind him and said: "These brothers, more than half of their families are also from the Northeast. Since the 21st year of the Republic of China, we have no home! We have long been subjugated slaves!"

"It's not what we want to be a traitor. It's just for a quick bite. We were all tricked into being a puppet army by Liu Jinhuan and Liu Yinhuan. If there is a better way out, who would like to be a traitor?"

"It's the blood and flesh of a Chinese man, how could he be a horse and an ox for the Japanese?! His children and grandchildren will leave a bad name!"

"Sir, I, Cao Jiawei, will not go anywhere. If the Eighth Route Army is willing to take me in, then I will apply to stay and fight Little Japan with you, and fight back to our home!"

"If you don't like me, please give me back my gun, I'll kill Little Japan!"

"Killing one is enough money, killing two is enough to earn one. I've already fucking had enough of this kind of people who are neither human nor ghost!"

Cao Jiawei's words undoubtedly expressed the aspirations of these captives.

Yes, the big family has fallen, and the small family has already been destroyed.

Which home are you going back to?What kind of land do you plant?
The captives shouted:
"Sir, don't look down on us. When we were two dogs, we shot our own compatriots. Our guns were always raised two inches. As long as you let us join the Eighth Route, we promise to be no worse than your soldiers!"

"Hit the devils! Drive the devils out of China!"

"I don't want travel expenses! I want to stay and participate in the eight-way fight against devils!"

"I want to join the Eighth Route!"

"Sir, give us a chance!"

"I'm not going home! My family is gone! I'm going to follow Eight Routes!"

Hearing the hoarse cry, Wang Liang who turned around showed a satisfied smile.

This is the real purpose of organizing this dismissal meeting today.

"I wish I could die against the Japanese, and leave it as a shame today. If the country is broken, why should I regret it?!"

"Okay! Those who are willing to stay and join the Eighth Route Army are welcome!" Wang Liang said.

In this way, all 474 prisoners chose to join the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Liang asked Sun Shulin to organize elite personnel to conduct secret political trials, and at the same time arranged for Zhou Weiguo and Ou Xiang to conduct military training and political studies for these people respectively.

After the prisoners were dealt with, Wang Liang called the members of the independent battalion team together for a meeting. This time the scope of the meeting was expanded to the level of company commanders and instructors.

The theme of the meeting was to rescue Hao Yiren, the leader of the guerrilla detachment in Xing City.

In fact, Wang Liang has never forgotten this matter, and has always kept it in his heart.

The Japanese claimed that Hao Yiren had defected, but according to the information obtained by Wang Liang's investigation, there was no direct evidence that Hao Yiren had defected to the enemy.

So the mission is still defined as a rescue.

Wang Liang directly stated the theme of this meeting:

"At present, according to the information, Captain Hao has been transferred from Xing City to the Lincheng Gendarmerie. I plan to carry out a rescue operation in the near future. If you have any suggestions and ideas, please talk to them."

Yin Hua was very excited when he waited, so he volunteered:

"Battalion Commander, Hao Zhi is my old superior, and he is also a friendly brother. I want to personally participate in this rescue operation, please approve!"

Wang Liang smiled and beckoned him to be calm: "Old Yin, don't get excited, our meeting today is to work out a preliminary plan first, and we will formulate a specific action plan later, and we will let you participate."

Ou Xiang first said: "After the Japanese and puppet forces in the Lincheng area lost one after another, it can be clearly felt that Kawamoto is increasing his rule, and the security of the county has also been strengthened."

"I think we can think of a way to see how the Japanese can transfer Captain Hao from Lincheng. Let's start on the road, so the chance of success is higher."

Wang Liangliang nodded: "Ou Ou provided a good idea, and everyone discussed it."

After finishing speaking, Wang Liang looked at Zhou Weiguo again: "Old Zhou, tell me."

Zhou Weiguo expressed different opinions: "Our independent battalion has won several battles in succession. My idea is that while morale is high, we can launch a rescue by raiding Lincheng County."

"At the same time, if possible, take the opportunity to kill Kawamoto Masahito, a strong opponent, so as not to stay as a scourge."

Zhou Weiguo could be said to be so inconspicuous, he directly proposed to raid Lincheng County.

Chen Feng, Sun Chenghai, Sun Desheng, Magnet, Ji Zhengshan and others couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, thinking that Zhou Weiguo really dared to think.

It is true that the independent battalion is now strong and strong, but it still sounds unbelievable to attack the county.

Moreover, Masakawa Kawamoto is a thoughtful person. Whether it is city defense or public security, his management is in an orderly manner, and it is difficult to find loopholes that can be exploited.

In this way, after Ou Xiang and Zhou Weiguo each expressed their own ideas, everyone began to talk about it.

After the meeting, Wang Liang left Yin Hua alone.

Wang Liang handed Yin Hua a cigarette, and after helping him light it, he opened his mouth:
"Old Yin, this time the enemy sent a security team to sneak attack on our battalion headquarters. Thanks to you for providing the information in time, I have already reported it to the brigade headquarters and credit you."

Yin Hua smiled modestly: "Hey, Battalion Commander, my old Yin has worked in Xing City for such a long time, and has developed a lot of underground traffic officers. They are spread across all walks of life, and they are serious and responsible in their work."

"The intelligence this time was also collected and analyzed through the information they provided. If I were to receive an award for meritorious service, the credit should not belong to me alone. It should be given to them. Their contribution is even greater."

Wang Liang admired Yin Hua's attitude of not being arrogant: "Then you, old Yin, will convey the organization's praise to these underground traffic workers on my behalf, and ask them what difficulties they have."

"These traffic officers risked their lives to collect intelligence and deliver letters for us. We must care about their lives, provide timely help, and solve difficulties."

For the safety of underground traffic personnel, a single-line communication method is generally adopted.

Even if he was a superior, Wang Liang would not ask Yin Hua for specific information about these traffic officers.

Therefore, the praise and concern can only be conveyed by Yin Hua.

As for the award for meritorious service, that can only be kept in Yin Hua's heart, and will be awarded when the traffic officer turns to the ground.

"Okay, no problem. I will convey to them the organization's concern for them on your behalf. I think they must be very encouraged." Yin Hua laughed.

Wang Liang went on to say: "Old Yin, when we fought against the enemy's new 10th Regiment, I saw your performance in battle."

"Since joining our independent camp, I have kept in mind both your work ability and work attitude."

"Let's say hello to you in advance. The organization is studying it and will use it for you further. You have to be prepared for this."

Wang Liang's meaning is very clear, to promote Yin Hua.

Yin Hua looked very indifferent, pinched off the cigarette that had burned down to the butt, and said:

"Yes, Battalion Commander, I must obey orders, follow instructions, and do a good job."

After sending Yin Hua away, Wang Liang looked thoughtful while looking at the cigarette butts still emitting a trace of smoke on the table.
