Chapter 53: Good News

"Shoot or kill!" "Shoot or kill!"

The peasant self-defense army roared angrily, as if they could not say anything but these four words.

A small group of SDF troops rushed to a barracks where they had been living until yesterday. At the entrance of the barracks stood a dozen bare-handed Nationalist soldiers, two of whom carried a wooden stick. Their guns were all on the playground last night, and the two sticks were still improvised on the legs of the bed. The Self-Defense Forces had black and shiny guns and bright knives in their hands, and they ran to the front of them with murderous vigour, pushed open the doors of the national soldiers, and rushed into the room first.

Half a minute later, the peasant army that entered the house said, "Oh! A voice rushed out, his eyes glared at these national soldiers, and his eyebrows stood up, "Surrender the gun and don't kill!" This guy shouted at the national army coldly, not only the national army, but also their own people were startled. The hands holding the leg of the bed trembled, and the leg fell to the ground. The two looked at each other and grinned, surrender their guns or not kill? How can we have guns? Are these two sticks guns too?

"That's my bed, who told you to tear it down? You two, go in and fix it for me! When I entered the room, I couldn't help it, and yelled at the two who were holding the bed leg just now! You can live in the house, but why do you want to tear down my beloved bed legs?

The two men who took the legs of the bed looked at each other again, bared their teeth, and went into the room to repair the legs.

This phrase "surrender the gun, don't kill" is the slogan specially prescribed by Zheng Guotai for tonight's night raid. This was formulated by Deputy Commander Zheng and Head Shi after joint research. The peasants in the Self-Defense Army were not very educated, and the vast majority of them were illiterate farmers, and it was obviously too difficult for these big bosses to understand that tonight's action was only to collect weapons and to demoralize the 28th Division.

Not to mention, as soon as this catchy slogan was shouted, the peasant army really treated the prisoners preferentially. Just like the one just now, the two national soldiers broke the bed leg, and if they want to change it to normal, the two gangs have already started fighting! But because of this slogan, the matter changed from a martial arts fight to a verbal fight, and the soldiers of the national army also knew that it was wrong to break someone's bed, so they honestly went in to repair it, and a possible weapon fight disappeared.

After Zheng Guotai went to the headquarters, he successfully met Shi Lei and his scouts, and the people on both sides had endless words to talk about, but now the matter is not over, and there is no time to talk about it in detail. Zheng Guotai and Shi Lei had a brief conversation and explained the progress on both sides, and then drove all the officers in the command outside the headquarters, and then pulled out the regiment commanders and battalion commanders in the barracks, and all the officers and men of the 28th Division of the National Army were fully assembled.

In addition to the unlucky division commander Chen Guangran, and the dozen or so main officers of the 28th Division who were with him died in an accident, there were also a few guards at the camp gate. Because when the self-defense army first entered the camp gate, the defenders resisted fiercely, and as a result, more than 20 people were seriously injured, and seven of them died of serious injuries and unfortunately hung up.

Originally, there were several brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders in the 28th Division, but when I checked later, these unlucky guys had an accident with Chen Guangran in the division commander's office, and there were two regiment commanders at the same time. Except for the other two regiment commanders, who were not in good health because they had just arrived and were not accustomed to the water and soil, and they were slightly ill and did not come to the meeting, which can be regarded as an escape, the chief of staff of the entire 28th Division is now in charge. Chief of Staff Shi never dreamed that he would one day be able to monopolize the power of the 28th Division! It is estimated that this is the only officer of the 28th Division who benefited from this night raid.

"Officers and men of the 28th Division, we are all Chinese. Right now, the devils are invading our China, and you are also Chinese soldiers, and you are needed on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! Therefore, it is not difficult for us to be sorry for you! We have seized your weapons, and that's because our self-defense forces lack weapons at hand, and we don't have the ones to take advantage of the devils! If you don't have a gun, you can go back and ask Commander Tang for more! Chen Guangran, commander of the 28th Division, because he shot and killed the people and was a bad village, our peasant self-defense army in southern Henan has made it clear that Chen Guangran, a bully warlord and murderer, has been a typical example in order to avenge all the people killed in southern Henan! Now, you're good to go! ”

With a wave of his hand, the camp gate was opened, and the soldiers of the Self-Defense Army drove the empty-handed soldiers of the National Army out. Shi Lei finally pinned a piece of hair to Chief of Staff Shi's waist, no matter what, he is also the supreme commander of this army, and it is always not good to be empty-handed.

Chief of Staff Shi stood straight, saluted Shi Lei, turned around and walked away with the orderlies to follow the troops. It is said that he should say something grateful, but in today's situation, he really doesn't know what to say.

This night attack incident ended perfectly, Zheng Guotai and Shi Lei reported the situation here to Junzuo Gaoquan overnight. This time the incident was a bit big, and the two of them were afraid that the situation would get out of control.

Gao Quan knew that Shi Lei and they were going to deal with the 28th Division tonight, so he didn't go back to sleep, and he was smoking cigarettes, drinking tea, and studying the current Sino-Japanese war situation with Biao Zi, Qian Sixi, Jin Feilong, and Cheng Bajin in the command headquarters.

Qian Sixi came to the military department to do business, and Jin Feilong and Cheng Bajin came to the military department to inquire about Wang Hua's news. Just in time for Gao Quan to stay up late tonight to wait for news, these people stayed behind and waited for the information in front by the way.

Tonight's command of the 500 Army was not deserted at all, and in front of the huge combat sand table, the officers of the 500 Army were chatting and laughing, and more than a dozen staff officers and orderly soldiers were busy coming in and out. Since the beginning of the Battle of Henan, the military headquarters of the 500 Army has not been idle, and continuous rotation is even more commonplace. At any moment, there may be a war zone report or a confidential interception of the Japanese army's top-secret information sent to this war room. Staff officers should promptly mark the real-time developments of the units on both sides on the operational sand table, and at the same time make corresponding operational plans for this.

This is a high level of demand. During the war, it was a great time to train military talents, and Gao Quan wanted to make use of every campaign, whether it was a protracted large-scale battle or a short-term sneak attack war, and whether or not the 500 troops participated, Commander Gao asked the operational staff officers of the military headquarters to take the 500 Army as a party participating in the battle and to design a set of operational plans that would be most beneficial to the 500 Army.

"Throne, telegram!" The correspondent ran in from outside and handed Commander Gao a telegram.

Gao Quan swept through the ten lines at a glance, "Haha, Sixi, Lao Jin, look, Director Zheng has won a complete victory!" ”

"Really?" Qian Sixi and the others immediately looked at each other and smiled, took the telegram draft handed over by Gao Quan, Qian Sixi read it first, and then handed it to Jin Feilong, and Bajin also came over to read it together. In the end, I called Biaozi over to see it, and everyone shared the joy brought by this good news.
