The public trial went to Zuihou, and the opinions of the provisional government and the villagers were contradictory about the verdict of the 169 bandits. Later, after the villagers present once again recommended the representative to the stage to state their opinions, Zhao Meiyan learned that these people were young people from nearby villages.

They were bullied because they couldn't stand the bullying of the landlords, some killed people, and some set fire to the landlords' houses, and Zuihou was forced to become bandits. They usually don't do evil, and the villagers feel that they should be treated differently.

After another negotiation by the collegial panel, these people were acquitted and released on the spot! The whole trial lasted until about 7 o'clock in the afternoon, when it was already dark.

As many as 711 bandits were sentenced to death, 1,130 were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, and 408 were released on the spot. It's still more difficult to shoot so many people at once. Zuihou Bai Shujie decided to execute it in phases and batches, and shot Xu Erhei and his eight major leaders on the first day, a total of 39 people.

The old guy sent by Huang Ying, Bai Shujie asked him to accompany him to behead. That is, every time a group of bandits is shot, he has to be "invited" to watch once, and he is standing inside the death row prisoners and watching the law enforcement team shoot!

Where is the execution ground? The mass grave just outside the South Gate is less than two kilometers from this cross street. The villagers wanted to see with their own eyes the fate of Xu Erhei, the big villain in their hearts, so they all rushed around the execution ground.

Fearing accidental injury to the crowd, the soldiers of the firing squad worked for a long time and finally got out of the way of shooting the front.

The first person to be executed was the bandit leader Xu Erhei. The one who served as the executioner was Shang Ziyi! He will personally execute it today to avenge Geng Fengbiao!

At this moment, in the southwest direction, there were faint cannons, and the earth shook! The villagers at the scene suddenly panicked and began to flee in all directions!

Xu Erhei and 38 other people, who had already closed their eyes and waited for death, heard the sound of the cannon, and their spirits were immediately lifted! Xu Erhei desperately raised his neck and shouted miserably: "Lao Tzu's rescue is here, now let go of Lao Tzu, you can still live!" ”

"Don't panic, folks!"

Bai Shujie had already changed into a military uniform, rode over on a thousand miles of dark clouds, and then stood on horseback and said loudly: "Folks: You have all seen the drama, since ancient times, when the emperor kills people, he has to set off a few soul-chasing cannons, right?" Let's be the emperor again today, let go of a few soul-chasing cannons, and kill a group of big bandit leaders! ”

Speaking of this, Bai Shujie turned his head to stare at Xu Erhei and sneered: "Raise your dog's head and listen carefully, this is the little devil's Type 92 infantry cannon!" Who has such a cannon in this place? Only in the hands of Lao Tzu! Even if the emperor goes down to earth today, he can't save your dog's life! The execution continues, shoot! ”

Horn horn, the gunfire was almost completed at the same time, and all the heads of the 39 people below Xu Erhu were opened! As soon as the law enforcement team members left, the rotten bricks and broken stones became the tools for the villagers to vent their anger, and the 39 corpses were suddenly smashed into a pile of minced meat. This is a precursor to the awakening of the masses, and it is also a catharsis of a certain emotion deep in their hearts, not to mention.

The rumbling cannon kept coming from the southwest direction, could it really be the so-called soul chasing cannon obtained by Bai Shujie? Of course not!

As soon as the execution procedure of the death row prisoner was over, Bai Shujie asked Shang Ziyi to lead the seventh company to strengthen the defense of Raoyang County, and he had already rushed to the front line with a guard squad. Twenty minutes later, Bai Shujie had already arrived at the artillery position in Tang Fengzhen.

"How's it going?" Bai Shujie saw Wei Chong, who had rushed over earlier, and while raising the binoculars, he asked casually, "Do you know if you have any, who is here?" ”

"There are two ways of reinforcements, the first of which is the Li Kong Dong cavalry battalion in front of us. After the warning of the two shells just now, they stopped two kilometers away. The other road is in front of Ironcore Town to the west, and there is probably a regiment. It was blocked by two shells from infantry guns, and also stayed two kilometers away. ”

Wei Chong said indifferently: "It's just such a little person, there is no need to deter them at all." As soon as you give the order, our two battalions rush up and make a surprise attack, and they are destined to be beaten to the ground. ”

"Nonsense!" Bai Shujie had already seen the other party's cavalry in the telescope, as well as the unique gray cloth military uniform of the Northwest Army: "Do you know that in Xifengkou back then, they fought with the little devils and never retreated." These are all anti-Japanese heroes, how can we kill each other? They don't move now, and none of you are allowed to fire at will, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law! ”

Bai Shujie then asked: "Li Guangdong is leading the team here, who is on the other side, do you find out?" ”

"Not yet." Seeing that the enemy couldn't fight, Wei Chong looked a little depressed: "Sanjuzi has already sent people out, hoping to find out the origin of the other party as soon as possible, and find out whether it is the 132nd Division of Zhao Dengyu of the Northwest Army or the 116th Division of Zhou Fucheng of the Northeast Army." ”

"That's okay, I'll go to Wang Sanju's side to see the situation." Bai Shujie turned over and got on his horse: "I emphasize again, you must be patient, and do not use heavy machine guns and mortars unless you have to." If the opponent charges, use an infantry cannon to intercept it head-on. Unless the opponent rushes within 500 meters, the light machine gun can open fire to block the fire. ”

It took Bai Shujie more than forty minutes to rush to the front of the hardcore town, but he didn't expect the situation here to be very different. The machine guns on the positions did not even open the safes, and about a platoon of cavalry of the Northwest Army lined up in a small phalanx, standing a hundred meters away from the fortifications.

"What's going on?" Bai Shujie inspected the position and was puzzled when he saw this strange phenomenon, but fortunately, Zou Baogen, the commander of the second battalion, rushed over immediately after seeing Bai Shujie.

Zou Baogen heard the detachment leader's question, and hurriedly reported: "Report to the detachment leader, opposite is the fifth regiment of the 132nd Division of the 29th Army in the Northwest. Their regiment commander Zhao Dengshun and division adjutant Shan Yongan personally came over to negotiate, and now Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Sanju is talking to them at the temporary command post behind. ”

"Well, there's something else going on, take me over and have a look." As soon as Bai Shujie heard the negotiation, his heart finally calmed down a lot, and then ordered the temporary guard squad leader: "Hurry back to Raoyang County to find County Magistrate Zhao, and say that I want to access all the files related to Xu Erhei." Go back quickly! ”

The name Zhao Dengshun was seen by Bai Shujie when he read relevant materials in his previous life. It is precisely because of his existence that Zhao Dengyu has gained the reputation of "Iron Mask General".

Zhao Dengshun is Zhao Dengyu's cousin, who has been wandering outside with his cousin since he was a child, and can be regarded as a member of Zhao Dengyu's cronies.

Once, Zhao Dengshun violated military regulations and should be punished with 40 military sticks. Zhao Dengyu's mother let people talk, for the sake of brotherhood and bloody battles, I hope that the punishment will not be too heavy.

However, Zhao Dengyu went against his mother's wishes and still heavily blamed Zhao Dengshun for 40 military sticks. Then returned home with the military stick that punished his cousin, Zhao Dengyu knelt in front of his mother and begged his mother to punish him. Zhao Dengyu has been filial all his life, this is the only time he went against his mother's wishes, and it was a good story for a while.

Hearing that such an interesting character came to the front of the two armies, Bai Shujie naturally would not let go of the opportunity to meet.

The temporary command post was in Daxing Village, one kilometer from the right rear flank of the artillery position, and Bai Shujie had already seen it in the blink of an eye. It was the middle of July, and there were six torches in the open space outside the command post, and sure enough, four people were sitting on the ground.

The two people on the east side were wearing the military uniforms of the Rehe Front Army's unique "black does not slip in autumn and flowers do not pull a few", and they were Wang Sanju, deputy commander of the Independent Regiment, and Zhao Qinglin, deputy commander of the second battalion. Sitting opposite sat two soldiers in gray cloth uniforms, no need to ask, these are Zhao Dengshun and Shan Yongan.

All four guys are professional soldiers, and even if they sit on the ground, their upper bodies are straight. The so-called upright sitting is probably like this. Bai Shujie did not step forward immediately, but turned over and dismounted, leaning on a big tree to be a listener. The four men were probably too engrossed and didn't notice an uninvited guest nearby.

"Head Zhao, Adjutant Shan, according to what you just said, and the warrant of Master Zhao that you took out, Xu Erhei belongs to your establishment, I didn't understand it wrong, right?" Wang Sanju said expressionlessly: "In this case, what Xu Erhei did, can I understand it as an order from the 132nd Division?" ”

"If there is a big military operation, then it is natural to get the military order of the division, and Commander Wang's understanding is not wrong. However, some of the details may be handled flexibly by Xu Erhei, which cannot be generalized. ”

Bai Shujie found that the one who was talking was a young officer in his early thirties opposite the division. His face was white and tender, he was completely bookish, and he did not have the fierce form of a northwest man. He spoke softly, slowly, and without the aggressiveness of a soldier at all.

"Of course, we are all soldiers, and to be able to sit together and talk about military issues is of course." Wang Sanju has followed Bai Shujie for many years, and it is impossible for his mouth to lose to others: "Commander Zhao, you should have seen it just now." If you want to deal with a battalion like ours, is this a military operation, or is it a matter of detail that the single adjutant said can be used for temporary maneuvering? ”

"I've already seen it, and this battalion of Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao is about to catch up with one of my regiments. If you want to take military action against such a force, it is naturally not a trivial matter. Without the order of the master, no one dares to act rashly. ”

As soon as this person spoke, Bai Shujie had already confirmed that he was the head of the Fifth Regiment of Zhao Dengyu's department and Zhao Dengshun, the cousin of Zhao's division. Whether it is the voice, body shape or speaking demeanor, it has the fierce style of a Northwest man.

"Then it's over!" Wang Sanju's face suddenly became gloomy, and his tone became solemn: "Last month, that is, on June 9, the 23rd year of the Republic of China, more than 2,000 people from the 132nd Division of the 29th Army deliberately attacked more than 800 people from the southward procurement team of our Rehe Front Army in 30 kilometers southeast of Xiongxian County, causing the escort battalion, which is the battalion you see now, and 19 people below the sixth company commander Geng Fengbiao died heroically. Now, please give me an explanation! Otherwise, I will not be able to appease the anger of all the officers and soldiers! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
