Chapter 277 Burning the Barracks(2/2)
Its daybreak.
Now, it is already 8 o'clock in the morning.
In addition to sporadic gunshots outside, there were more bursts of cheers.
A huge flag was flying there, and the rebel officers and soldiers were waving their guns happily.
Japanese corpses can be seen everywhere.
"Director Meng, Director Meng!"
Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Yantian, and Shen Weiqian came over excitedly. As soon as they met, Zhang Qingyu said loudly, "Report to Director Meng, the fighting in Tong County has stopped. I will revolt with the officers and soldiers, capture the puppet government chairman Yin Rugeng alive, and kill all the people including the education department." Office consultant Zhu Tengmao, gendarmerie captain He Tian Naixiong, Tong County consultant Shen Mao and the president of Jidong Bank were the first-day people, 260 people."
"good!"
The uprising was a great success.
This is equivalent to almost wiping out the Japanese in Tong County.
"Prepare to retreat." Meng Shaoyuan immediately ordered.
The Japanese revenge will come soon.
According to the plan, once the uprising succeeds, the troops will immediately evacuate Tongxian County and break out and move towards Baoding.
Soon, the insufficiency of the uprising troops was exposed.
During the uprising, everyone charged and fought fiercely out of righteous indignation, regardless of life or death.
But when the uprising succeeded, these officers and soldiers became procrastinating.
Some of them live in Tong County all year round and have settled their homes here. All they think about is how to send their wives, children and family members away.
Some broke into Japanese homes and plundered valuables.
As a result, it lasted until almost noon before the assembly was barely completed.
This point was something Meng Shaoyuan did not calculate.
Originally, at this time, they were already on their way to Baoding.
But it's already 11 o'clock and they are still in Tong County!
"Plane! Plane!"
Suddenly, someone pointed at the sky and shouted loudly.
More than 20 Japanese aircraft appeared.
They rushed to the sky above Tong County with great momentum and bombed indiscriminately.
The insurrectionary officers and soldiers who had just completed their assembly fled in all directions under the sudden air raid and suffered heavy casualties.
"First team, gather the team, withdraw, withdraw!"
Meng Shaoyuan roared.
"Director Meng." Zhang Qingyu pulled Meng Shaoyuan to a relatively safe place nearby. Amidst the explosion, he had to shout loudly to let Meng Shaoyuan hear what he was saying clearly:
"Director Meng, I have discussed with the Second Corps and Commander Shen that we are not going to Baoding, we are going to Peking."
"What? Peking?"
"Many people in the security team used to be bandits. As you saw after the victory of the uprising, they had no military discipline. I thought, once we arrive in Baoding, what will we do if we cause harm to the place? Let's go while they are still here.
Peiping, join up with the 29th Army and fight against little Japan."
"No." Meng Shaoyuan said hurriedly: "The 29th Army is fighting fiercely with the main force of the Japanese army. There is no way to meet us. The Japanese will definitely encircle us. With the security team, we cannot stop it!"
"Director Meng!" Zhang Qingyu, however, was particularly stubborn: "We have been traitors for a long time. Now it's over and there's trouble. Let's do it vigorously."
Meng Shaoyuan was silent.
The explosions outside became more and more violent.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Assemble the security team, rush out of Tongxian County, split into two groups, move towards Pingxi, and try every means to join the 29th Army!"
"yes!"
"Also, that Yin Rugeng." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly remembered this person: "Kill him!"
"Kill?" Zhang Qingyu hesitated for a moment: "Director Meng, Yin Rugeng committed a heinous crime and should have been killed, but he was once a confidant of Acting Chairman He Yingqin and Chairman Huang Yong. In case... I think we should be escorted to Peking and handed over to Song Zheyuan.
Deal with it."
Can't kill?
This person is of no use anyway.
