Chapter 281: Containing the Defeated Soldiers
On the outskirts of Xinyang, Qiu Wei led a platoon of a company to the destination in half an hour, and the soldiers had just entered the camp to rest for a long time, and received a new order.
But after all the words, these veterans still accepted the order and carried it out very seriously, and after the battle, they all knew their responsibilities.
When they marched from the direction of Lanfeng to Xinyang, they followed the flow of people, and now they had to walk from the periphery of Xinyang City to the suburbs, which was equivalent to going against the flow of people.
"Control both sides of the road, and pull out when you see a rout!" Qiu Wei said to the platoon commander beside him, the platoon commander nodded, turned to the troops and gave an order, the entire infantry platoon was divided into two parts, which controlled both ends of the road respectively, forming an invisible cordon control line.
A platoon of soldiers spread out on the side of the road, three Soviet-style turntable light machine guns were erected on the side of the road, the muzzles of the guns were raised, and the soldiers monitored the crowd for the presence of uniformed routs.
In fact, there were many defeated troops, the national army was in the retreat stage, the battle situation was urgent, the troops retreated in all directions, and there were not a few soldiers who were scattered.
The situation on the battlefield is chaotic, and there will naturally be loopholes in the management of the troops, and deserters will have an opportunity to take advantage of, and there will be many armed escapees.
The platoon led by Qiu Wei dispersed to search, and soon someone found the figure of the soldier in the crowd, several dark green summer military uniforms and a gray and black German-style steel helmet, which looked very conspicuous among the people wearing a variety of clothes.
"Look at those few!" A squad leader of a company shouted, pointing to several soldiers in the distance.
Qiu Wei looked at it, wearing a steel helmet and a dark green military uniform, what else could he be if he wasn't a soldier?
"Go! Pull people over! ”
"Yes!" Half of the soldiers rushed out and got into the crowd, and the rout soldiers caught in the crowd only cared about fleeing in a hurry, and without making any decent reaction, they were surrounded by half of the squad of the company, and half of the squad that captured people rushed into the crowd against the flow of people, surrounding the four rout regiments, and the rout soldiers reacted, stopped, raised the rifle in their hands, and faced the soldiers of the company who went to arrest people.
"Put the gun down!" The squad leader of the first company shouted.
The only rout soldier wearing a steel helmet among the four ignored the crowd around him, shook the Hanyang Zao in his hand fiercely, and put a bullet on it: "What the fuck did you say let me put down the gun and put it down?" When Lao Tzu is a three-year-old? ”
"Don't nonsense, a group of routs, hurry up and hand over the guns!" The squad leader who led the team did not show weakness, and the rout shook Hanyang, he pushed the middle in his hand forward, and the four rout soldiers were surrounded by six soldiers of a company, and the two sides held each other with rifles in a stalemate, and no one gave in.
Qiu Wei in the distance was also staring at the situation here, this was the first group of routs to see that they were in a stalemate, and Qiu Wei immediately rushed over with a light machine gun crew.
"What's going on?" Qiu Wei, who rushed to the rout, asked the squad leader. "Company commander, they won't put down their guns."
Qiu Wei looked at the defeated soldiers in front of him, all of them were made in Hanyang, one person had cloth shoes on his feet, the other three were straw shoes, and one had a German-style steel helmet on his head, Qiu Wei thought to himself that this should be the Central Army, specifically that unit, he couldn't see it for the time being.
"You guys, I order you to put your guns down!" Qiu Wei shouted.
It was the defeated soldier with a steel helmet who replied, he saw Qiu Wei's iron plate collar badge, and knew that it was an officer, but he was actually a little stunned in his heart.
"Why put down the gun, you ...... What is the origin? "Qiu Wei not only came over, but also brought a light machine gun crew, and the machine gunner was behind Qiu Wei with a turntable light machine gun, facing the rout.
"Why? Hmph, it's up to you to break away from the army without permission and run away armed with weapons! In accordance with the Criminal Law of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army and the Law of the Revolutionary Army in Wartime, those who escape from the battle will be killed! Armed escapees, kill! In other words, any officer, even any soldier, is qualified to order you to lay down your arms, and is qualified to shoot you! ”
Qiu Wei glanced at a few people, everything was done as Zhang Wei said, asked them to surrender their guns, and moved out of the military law of the army to scare them.
"It is for your own good, to leave a way for you to live."
"If you don't hand it over, I'll see if your four Hanyang Machines can beat the turntable machine gun behind me!"
Kara screamed, and the light machine gunner cooperated and pulled the bolt of the turntable machine gun.
After Qiu Wei finished speaking, the four defeated soldiers in front of him panicked on the spot, military law and machine guns, no matter how you think about it, it is a dead end, and the four of them began to panic.
"It's not too late to hand over the gun in your hand, we are from the rout shelter, specially here to collect you people, put down the gun now, I will protect the four of you from dying."
"Either you confiscate the gun in your hand and go with us, you have something to eat and drink, or you don't surrender the gun, and you have something to eat, but you are invited to eat the gun!"
Zhang Wei's radish and stick method is very useful, and it is right in the defense area of the psychology of these routs, and Qiu Wei moved out word for word.
Qiu Wei finished the call, the psychological defense line of the four defeated soldiers could no longer hold on, Qiu Wei is an officer, and he has a prestige in his own right, and they are just deserters, Qiu Wei has a machine gun and a man, and he moved out of the military law, and finally gave them a way to live, in this case, even a fool knows what to do, he can still have a life if he surrenders the gun, and if he doesn't surrender the gun, he will die.
"Sir, can you really not shoot us?" The rout soldier wearing a steel helmet asked tentatively, and the Hanyang Zao in his hand slowly put it down.
"Of course, we are talking about it, your lives are still useful, I really want to kill you, why don't I give the order to fire now!" Qiu Wei said.
"Sir, let's surrender the guns, brothers, hand over the guns." The routs in steel helmets threw Hanyang to the ground.
The other three looked at each other and finally dropped their rifles on the ground.
"Up!" As soon as Qiu Wei waved his hand, a company of soldiers around him swarmed up, picked up the four Hanyangzao on the ground, returned the bullets in the chamber, and stepped forward to escort the four routs, searched their bodies, and unloaded all the bullets, grenades, bayonets and other weapons on the routs.
"Company commander, these routs have all been disarmed, there are four Hanyang-made, more than 100 rifle bullets have been found, as well as three Hanyang-made bayonets and five grenades." The squad leader of the first company disarmed the rout and reported to Qiu Wei.
Qiu Wei nodded, Zhang Wei's method is very useful, basically he can make these deserters soften, and pull through the first batch of routs, which is a good start and a good sign, this time he brought in half a squad of soldiers.
Qiu Wei smiled and nodded. "Take it away, don't tie it up, just watch it, and continue to catch the rout!"
