Chapter 558: Driving the People Out
"Hahaha, rest assured. If those bandits dare to come, these 400 or so brothers under my command are not vegetarians. ”
"Then there's Chief Laohu, pour wine."
In the large living room, a large round table is full of big fish and meat. There were two groups of people at the table, one was the local tyrant and plundering gentry, and the other was the officer of the local security regiment.
The head of the security regiment is surnamed Hu. Originally, the security regiment was in Zhongmu County, but because the Japanese army would come soon, they were afraid that the national army would let them guard the county seat as cannon fodder, so they left the county under the pretext of leaving the county.
Coincidentally, the bandits have been happy recently, and the security group has become fragrant. So they went around deceiving, eating, drinking, and cheating.
The bandits drove the people everywhere and burned down the villages, causing panic in several counties near Zhengzhou. In addition to driving away the common people, the bandits also liked to raid the homes of landlords. They distributed the grain and goods they had gathered this year to the poor people.
The poor people were torn in their hearts whether they wanted this gang of bandits to come; But the landlords absolutely did not want it, and they only hated the bandits. No, the security corps brought in by the landlords to protect their food and property.
A maid stepped forward to pour wine for this head Hu, and this lustful embryo took the opportunity to get stuck and said with a smile: "Rich people are good, even the maids are so handsome."
The old landlord was a very sensible man, and shook his hand. A subordinate hurriedly stepped forward with the box, and then opened it, and it was full of oceans.
The old landlord said: "This is five hundred oceans, and it is to honor the head of Hu." As long as you can stay in this town, protect the grain we have harvested this year, and there will be filial piety in the future. ”
"Well said, well said."
Captain Hu smiled and ordered his subordinates to put away the money, and then looked at the maid behind the old landlord with a smile.
The old landlord waved his hand and said, "Understood, understood." As long as you are willing to stay, you stay for a few days, I will ask this maid to serve you for a few days, and I will definitely serve Captain Hu comfortably. ”
"Hahaha"
Head Hu was overjoyed, picked up the wine glass and said, "Cheers!"
At this time, a squire on the opposite side was worried: "Now that most of the national army has run away, the devil is in front of you." In case the devil ......"
The squire's words suddenly made the people around him lose interest.
"Don't worry!" Hu Tuan An soothed: "It's a big deal, let's be obedient to the people." They must be short of food when they come from afar, so we will give them some food, and their lives should be saved. ”
"Yes!" The old landlord slapped the table and said, "Honor the imperial army with food, and don't give it to those poor ghosts!" At least the gold and silver treasures can be preserved. ”
Indeed, the town has been targeted by bandits. It should be said that it is not a bandit, but an independent battalion of Shao Fei.
This area is about to become an ocean, and hundreds of thousands of people will be killed in the belly of the fish in an instant. Shao Fei just wanted to drive away the people here as much as possible before the embankment burst at the mouth of the garden. But I can't say it myself, I can only pretend to be a bandit.
In the poplar forest outside the town, the independent battalion was already ready to go, waiting for the special combat team to come back after reconnaissance and report. Now the independent battalion has grown to nearly 1,000 people, all of whom volunteered to join after the attack on the village.
In the woods, several company platoon commanders were together with Shao Fei, but Gao Yi was nowhere to be seen. Shao Fei told him to go to Zhengzhou to carry out a special mission as an officer of the Yunnan army.
At this time, Shang Bin suddenly asked: "Battalion commander, what are we pretending to be, bandits, or devils."
"I'll talk about it when the sprinkle comes back."
Shao Fei replied and asked Shang Bin: "Follow me every day to do bad things, don't you ask why?"
"What is there to ask, we are sure that you will not harm the people. Company Commander Gao explained before leaving, and it will naturally come to light after a week. ”
Not long after, Sabu rushed back and reported the situation in the town to Shao Fei.
Shao Fei got up and ordered: "The first and second companies change into devil clothes and follow me into the town." The third company and the logistics staff will protect the supplies and wait for us to finish before entering the town. ”
Sabu didn't understand very much, and asked, "Pretending to be a devil, aren't you afraid of a fight with the security group?"
Shao Fei replied: "Pretending to be a bandit will definitely cause a fight. The people of these security groups do not go to guard Zhongmu, they go to the town to cheat and eat and drink, and they look like traitors. Let's start with a tentative attack. ”
The only thing that the independent battalion can't pretend to be is the national army. If he could, the chairman would not have blown up the entrance of the garden without evacuating the people. But this is still secondary, and the most important reason is that Shao Fei doesn't want the Dian army to be involved.
"Don't, don't! Help me! ”
A woman's cries for help kept coming from the room. The evil landlord Lao Cai has already given this poor maid to Captain Hu.
In the room, the maid struggled hard and pushed Captain Hu away.
"Damn, I don't know how to lift!"
As he spoke, Head Hu took out a pistol and pointed it at the maid and threatened: "Be honest, otherwise I will kill you!"
The maid was frightened and stopped resisting, and stood there stupidly. Just as Commander Hu was doing evil, gunfire erupted outside the town.
Not long after, a soldier rushed in in a hurry and said, "Regiment commander, the devil is coming!"
"How many?"
"That's a lot, at least five hundred!"
Regiment Commander Hu immediately ordered: "Don't fight back, send someone to tell the devils, no, we should change our words to the imperial army and tell them that we surrender."
"Yes!"
The soldier immediately ran out of the house.
"I'm back and I'm taking care of you." Head Hu pointed to the maid, and then walked out of the room.
"Yoxi~"
In less than half an hour, Shao Fei took the first and second companies to occupy the town. Rows of vigilante soldiers lined up in a large clearing in the middle of town. Shao Fei had a mustache under his nose and a katana in his hand walking back and forth in front of the team, constantly muttering in his mouth.
"Taijun, Taijun. We surrendered on our own initiative and were willing to be obedient citizens of the Great Japanese Empire. ”
Head Hu walked up to Shao Fei like a dog and nodded.
"Good." Shao Fei patted Captain Hu on the shoulder vigorously, and then instructed with an accent: "You know what we want, you call all the big households in the town who have food, if you expose one, you will die!" ”
"Hi~Hi~"
Commander Hu immediately turned around and brought those landlords and squires with a few of his subordinates. The 1st Company of the Independent Battalion continued to stay in control of the situation, while the 2nd Company ran to arrest the civilians here.
Not long after, this clearing was crowded with people, and Chief Hu also came with the landlords.
Shao Fei asked the landlords with a fierce face: "Are you willing to serve the imperial army?" ”
"Yes, we are willing to donate all the food to honor the imperial army."
"Yes, we do."
“……”
The landlords rushed to express their hearts, fearing that Shao Fei would not feel that loyalty.
Shao Fei shook his head, took a submachine gun from a soldier and gave it to Commander Hu, and ordered: "Go, kill all these people for me." ”
"This ......" Head Hu still hesitated.
"I want to see your loyalty to the Imperial Army." Shao Fei said in a calm tone.
"Understood, understood."
Commander Hu hesitated a little, picked up the gun and aimed it at his people. But none of those people came out to resist, not even scolding, but with fear and anger in their eyes. Perhaps that anger was their last resistance.
Captain Hu pulled down the insurance, then pulled the trigger, "Ah~ah~" and shouted. But the muzzle of the gun could not shoot a single bullet.
Just as Commander Hu was wondering, another gun was already aimed at his head.
"Bang!" With one shot, Shao Fei ended the life of Tuan Chang Hu without saying a word. The soldiers and civilians of the surrounding security regiment were dumbfounded, and they had no idea what was happening.
Shao Fei and the others said loudly: "From the moment this person takes the initiative to surrender to the devil, he deserves to die!" Now he is holding a gun at his own people, that is a sin that deserves death! That's right, we're not devils, we're bandits! ”
Now the people understood everything, and the landlords had long been dumbfounded, and they all regretted the loyalty they had just shown.
Shao Fei then said loudly: "I am a bandit, but I am also Chinese!" You all know my rules, why should I drive you out of Henan, because the devils will come soon, and the whole of Henan will be occupied by the devils! They will kill you and spoil your sisters, wives and daughters. I came from the east, and there is no one alive in the land through which the devil passes! ”
"Then why are you burning villages and towns?"
Since Shao Fei and they are not devils, the people are not afraid of them, and some people have the courage to question Shao Fei.
Shao Fei shouted: "There are tens of thousands of devils, I don't want the devils to have a place to live!?" Damn, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. took his family, saluted, and distributed the landlord's money and grain out of town! Whoever dares to stay, will be killed! Also, I will send a small team to secretly follow you and watch you leave Henan. ”
After Shao Fei finished speaking, he gave Shang Bin a look, and the soldiers of the second company began to assist the people to leave the town. Not long after, the 3rd Company and the logistics team also rushed over and joined the team to disperse the people.
In the end, only the soldiers of the security regiment were left in the open space, and Shao Fei said to them: "Those who are willing to stay and work with us, I welcome!" If you don't want to, lay down your weapons and fuck off! I advise those who don't want to die to leave Henan immediately. ”
Shao Fei didn't expect that half of them were willing to stay. As a result, the number of separate battalions exceeded a thousand.
For Shao Fei now, the more people in the team, the better. Only then will they drive more people away.
After the incident, Shao Fei and Shang Bin each took a team and went to the villages around the town to continue the drive. However, there is not much time left for them, and it is impossible for the independent battalion to kill all the tens of millions of people out of Henan. At this time, the "wise" Chairman Chiang was planning to blow up the Yellow River embankment.
