Chapter 840: Restoring Order

The sun flag hanging on the roof of the town office in Qinghe Town was torn into rags and fell to the ground with the wind, and a blue sky and white sun flag rose along the flagpole, the cold wind howled, and the hunting sounded.

"Salute!"

Dozens of guerrilla officers and men with dirty and tattered uniforms had their faces as hard as iron, stood upright on the ground, raised their hands and shook a standard military salute in front of the hulala banner waving in the wind.

In just a few months, they purged the devils of Qinghe Town and recovered Qinghe Town, and they will not forget those brothers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the recovery of Qinghe Town.

A group of pseudo-policemen with their heads hung down and their faces like ashes walked out with their heads in their hands under the cold gaze of the gun-wielding brothers.

The devils are the backers of these pseudo-policemen, and now that the backers have been eliminated by the guerrillas, they have become rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, who makes them do a lot of evil on weekdays.

Yang Ling led the guerrilla command personnel into the town office, looked up and saw the blue sky and white sun flag facing the wind, hula, and after a slight pause, he stepped into the house.

The guerrillas did not encounter fierce resistance in the town office, and these pseudo-policemen knew that they were not opponents of the guerrillas, so when they saw that the devils were eliminated, they directly threw away their guns and surrendered, so the town office was basically intact.

In the past, when Zhang Liechen was in charge of the guerrillas, he was not soft on the puppet army, puppet police, traitors and others.

This practice has led to serious consequences, so much so that the puppet army and the puppet police are desperately following the devils and the guerrillas, because they know that once they fall into the hands of the guerrillas, there will be absolutely no good end.

Yang Ling changed the policy of killing, but chose to treat them differently, and for those who followed the devil to do evil, he was naturally severely punished and dealt with by shooting.

But for those who were forced to become puppet soldiers and puppet policemen to support their families, Yang Ling focused on warning and education, instilling patriotism in them, making them realize their mistakes, and turning their guns to fight devils.

Many of the brothers in the 3rd Guerrilla Detachment had been puppet soldiers at the beginning, but were captured by the guerrillas and educated to become brave guerrillas.

Because of the lessons learned from the past, now those puppet soldiers and puppet policemen are no longer fighting the guerrillas to the end, and seeing that the general trend has gone, they have raised their hands and surrendered.

"Quickly put up a notice to reassure the people, restore order in Qinghe Town, and announce to the townspeople that our guerrillas have recovered Qinghe Town."

"Gather the squires of the town for a meeting and set up a temporary management committee."

"Send a company of brothers to be responsible for patrolling the town, and severely crack down on the ruffians who take advantage of the chaos to rob the townspeople."

"Send someone to take care of the ammunition in the warehouse of the devil puppet army, and without my order, no one is allowed to carry it privately."

"Send someone to arrest the main personnel of the Qinghe Town Maintenance Association and detain them pending trial."

"Send two companies to guard in the direction of Huaiyin County to prevent reinforcements from devils, and at the same time send people to contact the commander of the Ninth Guerrilla Column, so that our troops have successfully recovered Qinghe Town, and will immediately attack and advance in the direction of the county seat after resting."

......

Yang Ling set up his temporary headquarters in the compound of the town office in Qinghe Town, and issued a series of orders to maintain stability and settle down before he could sit down.

The staff officers of the detachment headquarters also quickly got busy, and a group of high-flying guerrilla officers and soldiers drove into the streets, and the post-war order in Qinghe Town quickly settled down.

The townspeople of Qinghe Town hid in their homes in fear, and whenever there was a war, they were extremely worried, because it meant that their lives and property were not guaranteed in any way.

Because war will lead to chaos, those rebels and local ruffians will take advantage of the chaos to cause chaos and rob money.

But this time, Yang Ling and the others directly blocked the devil soldiers in the camp and eliminated them, and the action was very fast, when many people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob shops and break into private houses to rob money, the guerrilla officers and soldiers had already driven into the streets.

Yang Ling and the others were ruthless against these gangsters and bullies who took advantage of the chaos to loot their goods, and if they didn't listen to the warnings, they were directly shot on the spot.

Many gangsters and bullies robbed their property and wanted to run, but in the face of the guerrilla officers and soldiers with guns, how could their legs outrun the bullets, and after a burst of random shooting, they fell into a pool of blood.

Yang Ling's iron hand quickly restored order in Qinghe Town, and there was no large-scale looting except for a few residents who were frightened by looting.

The officers and men of the guerrillas were bound by strict military discipline on weekdays, and now the guard platoon directly under Yang Ling was still patrolling, so they did not dare to mess around.

The 3rd Guerrilla Detachment recovered the town of Qinghe, restored order, took over the house, set up a cordon, and contacted friendly forces...... There are a lot of things going on, and the staff officers are busy going in and out.

And just as Yang Ling listened to the report on the restoration of order, staff officer Lei Xiong walked into the room from the outside.

"Chief Yang, the second battalion commander Wu Changqing is now less and less interested in you."

Yang Ling looked at the pale-faced staff officer Lei Xiong, and waved his hand to let the other combat staff officer go first.

"Staff Officer Lei, what's going on, tell me about it?"

"A few brothers have made old mistakes and want to get some money to spend, but Wu Changqing actually ordered them to be shot without asking for instructions, which is simply not taking our fingers in our eyes and not taking you in our eyes......" Lei Xiong said indignantly.

"These brothers are all old brothers who follow me, and they rush to the front every time they fight devils, even if they don't have merit, they have hard work, just make some mistakes and correct them, Wu Changqing is too cold-blooded and ruthless, and he will order to be shot if he doesn't agree with him, and who of the brothers will be willing to rush to the front in the future......"

After Yang Ling heard Lei Xiong's words, he also understood the ins and outs of the matter in his heart, and after pondering, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can get busy first, I know about this." ”

Lei Xiong was originally the battalion commander, but after Yang Ling arrived at the Third Guerrilla Detachment, in order to achieve control over the troops, he promoted them to the position of staff officer.

Now that the battalion-level troops have been restored again, Lei Xiong is hot and wants to lead the troops, but unexpectedly, Yang Ling promoted a few young people, and he still has no power as a staff officer, and he feels uncomfortable.

This time, several of his old brothers made a mistake, he happened to act with the second battalion, and when he heard that Wu Changqing, the commander of the second battalion, was going to shoot them, he opened his mouth to intercede.

Who knew that Wu Changqing refuted his face, which made him very dissatisfied, and he ran back directly to complain to Yang Ling.

But who knew that he talked for a long time, but Yang Ling didn't react lightly, which made him even more uncomfortable.

"Chief Yang, this matter can't just be left at that, Wu Changqing is good at killing his brothers, which will make the brothers feel cold." Staff officer Lei Xiong walked a few steps, but he really couldn't think about it, and turned his head back.

Yang Ling raised his head and looked at Lei Xiong and said, "Then what do you think of this matter?" ”

Staff Officer Lei Xiong said without hesitation: "In my opinion, the second battalion commander Wu Changqing will be removed from his post and investigated to comfort those dead brothers. ”

Looking at the puffing staff officer Lei Xiong, Yang Ling shook his head and said, "Staff Officer Lei, then may I ask you that military discipline that Battalion Commander Wu violated?" ”

Staff Officer Lei Xiong thought about it and shook his head, but he still said unwillingly: "But he went too far by ordering the shooting of several errant brothers without authorization. ”

"No, Battalion Commander Wu has not done anything wrong, he must be punished for violating discipline, otherwise what is the use of military discipline?!" Yang Ling said seriously: "If everyone takes the opportunity to loot the people like those brothers, then how can we win the support of the local people and gain a firm foothold? ”

Yang Ling reminded: "Don't forget, everything we eat and drink is given by the people, if we loot and loot the people at will, what is the difference between it and the devil?" ”

Yang Ling's words made the staff officer Lei Xiong speechless, although he felt uncomfortable, but he felt that what Yang Ling said was also reasonable.

"But ......"

"There is nothing, even if he is a hero who has killed devils, he can't ignore military law and wantonly bully the people!" Yang Ling's face became serious, and he spoke loudly.

Staff Officer Lei Xiong came violently, and finally had to leave in disgrace.

Looking at the back of Lei Xiong leaving, Yang Ling also shook his head helplessly, the brothers' sense of military discipline is weak, and it seems that there is a long way to go.

However, he strictly restricts military discipline, and also hopes that this army can survive here, instead of becoming a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.

Many of the troops stationed behind enemy lines were hated by everyone because they had a weak sense of military discipline and did not pay attention to building good relations with the local residents.

Not only could he not collect food to fill his stomach, but he couldn't get the help of the people when the devils encircled and suppressed, and he was finally broken by the devils, Yang Ling didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Huzi."

"Yes!"

"Go back and send more death benefits to the families of the dead brothers in the second battalion."

"Yes!"
