Chapter 70: Two birds with one stone(1/2)
In a hurry, Ma Qing suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the enemies who killed you are here. They want to annihilate us in one fell swoop and never cause further trouble! We must not sit back and wait for death. Hurry up and get ready to attack!"
However, no matter how Ma Qing shouted at the top of his lungs, not many officers and soldiers of the 15th Security Regiment responded with their guns. Most of the officers and soldiers looked at their battalion and company commanders and other direct commanders in confusion, because they still can't figure out what happened.
Who should you listen to and who should you trust?
"What the hell is wrong with you all? Do you want to rebel or are you deaf? I am your leader, how dare you not even listen to my orders?" Ma Qing roared with red eyes.
Forced by Ma Qing's threat in the past, some officers and soldiers began to scatter hesitantly, raising their ammunition and preparing to attack the garrison. However, any fool could see that the current 15th Security Regiment would not be able to attack the garrison.
The soldiers have no fighting spirit and their morale is extremely low.
Liu Qinghua and other soldiers from the Guard Company did not disperse or take further action against Ma Qing. In any case, Ma Qing is still the leader of the 15th Security Regiment. If he is touched now, it will most likely cause internal strife in the entire regiment.
and chaos, and may even involve fighting each other and fighting with swords.
This is what Liu Qinghua does not want to see. Reason tells him that with the arrival of the garrison led by Yi Zhenhua, he only needs to wait and see what happens. Whether the brigade died at the hands of Yi Zhenhua or others will soon be known.
Then the truth can be revealed. If the host is really harmed by Yi Zhenhua, then he has nothing to fear and can just lead his No. 100 brother to fight with them.
As for Zhang Dechun, Mu Dequan, Zhou Fuyun and other battalion commanders, they also had similar ideas to Liu Qinghua, but on the surface they all returned to their respective command positions, waiting for the arrival of the garrison with their subordinates who had no intention of fighting.
.
Ma Qing leaned down behind a slope with a pistol in his hand and looked along the road. He saw a group of well-equipped Japanese officers and soldiers on the road rushing toward him.
Leading the way at the front of the team were several three-wheeled motorcycles with machine guns mounted on them. The small blue-sky and white flags hanging on the motorcycles told them that this must be Yi Zhenhua's garrison.
Along with the arrival of the garrison, there were more than ten police sentries from the 15th Regiment. During the frontal advance of the garrison, these dozen police sentries did not dare to shoot at the officers and soldiers of the garrison because they had not received the order.
, after firing the warning shot, he could only retreat nervously.
Seeing the garrison getting closer, a hint of viciousness flashed in Ma Qing's eyes. He knew that Yi Zhenhua must not be given a chance to defend himself, and he had to open fire immediately. As soon as the two sides started fighting, they would have a personal vendetta. The officers and soldiers in the regiment would attack him.
The retreat route for the garrison to surrender will be completely cut off, and they will have to follow their own path into darkness.
Thinking of this, Ma Qing immediately raised his gun and aimed at the garrison in front of him who was far away from the range of his pistol and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, if you want to survive, don't let them get close, give me a good beating!"
Before he finished speaking, he wanted to pull the trigger. As soon as the gunshot rang out, someone among the originally nervous and depressed subordinates would definitely shoot blindly in response, and in that way, his goal would be achieved.
However, at this moment, the muzzle of a pistol suddenly pressed against the back of Ma Qing's head, and then Liu Qinghua's cold voice sounded from behind Ma Qing: "Captain Ma, you have to pay attention, in case your
If you pull the trigger with your hand, when you hear the gunshot, your subordinate will probably subconsciously pull the trigger. You know, soldiers will have the desire to pull the trigger when they hear the gunshot..."
"Liu Qinghua, what do you want to do? Now that the enemy is facing us, we should be sincere and united to deal with the outside world!" Ma Qing broke out in a cold sweat and turned around slightly.
"Captain Ma, the garrison didn't take the initiative to attack us. Otherwise, our sentries could have escaped unscathed just now? So, in my humble opinion, we'd better not fire the first shot easily, otherwise many things will be ruined.
There is no proof and the explanation is unclear."
"Who said they won't attack? They will attack us soon..." Before Ma Qing finished speaking, Liu Qinghua pouted forward and said, "Look, the garrison has stopped advancing!"
Ma Qing turned around and looked forward, and sure enough he saw that the garrison that had been getting closer and closer just now stopped advancing, and a military jeep drove out from the group and was heading this way.
In the jeep, Yi Zhenhua sat calmly in the back seat, fiddling with a piece of telegram in his hand. This telegram was nothing else. It was the commendation and promotion order sent to him by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek not long ago.
, the message clearly stated in black and white that he was appointed as the deputy brigade commander of the 5th Security Brigade, major general, and the rank of colonel in the National Revolutionary Army!
According to Yi Zhenhua's previous arrangement, the driver drove the jeep to a location three hundred meters away from the enemy and stopped. Three hundred meters is a relatively safe location, because unless they are special-level magic shooters, they can only rely on the Hanyang-made weapons in their hands.
, it is not that easy to beat yourself up with the 38 big caps obtained from the official or captured ones.
Of course, this was just a precaution made by Yi Zhenhua. As Haoyue led the armored assault troops to Qiongzhong County ahead of them and launched a siege on Qiongzhong County, Yi Zhenhua knew better than anyone what was ahead of him.
The situation of the 15th Security Regiment at this point can be said to be that they are in a dilemma, with no external reinforcements and no fighting spirit internally. If the situation is solved by force, Yi Zhenhua is confident that the battle will be over within half an hour.
However, what surprised Yi Zhenhua was that he actually caught up with them when they were still nearly half the distance from Qiongzhong. Originally, he thought that as long as Haoyue could lead the armored troops to stop the 15th Security Regiment in Qiongzhong,
To the south, don't let them join the Japanese army, just wait until you lead your own army to pursue them.
Now it seems that either there is a disagreement within the 15th Regiment, or Ma Qing is a pig-brained man who dares to advance at such a slow marching speed, just lighting a lantern in the toilet - seeking death.
With doubts in mind, when the jeep stopped and the guards jumped out of the car to alert the front, Yi Zhenhua stood up from the back seat and calmly and calmly strode onto the front cover of the jeep. Yi Zhenhua raised his voice and shouted loudly to the other side.
shouted: "The tenth
Brothers of the Fifth Regiment, now that the enemy is facing us, why did you leave Wuzhishan and go north without authorization? Do you want to commit treason and surrender to the enemy and become traitors?" (As mentioned before, the Military Commission issued an order to the Fifth Brigade to station at Wuzhishan with the garrison.
)
Because the entire battlefield was very quiet, and because Yi Zhenhua used all his strength, the officers and soldiers at the front three hundred meters away could vaguely hear his words, but more people could not hear clearly.
, looking around to ask their companions.
Seeing that there was no response from the other party, Yi Zhenhua turned around and took a simple iron loudspeaker from the driver's hand. He held up the horn and repeated what he just said loudly. After speaking, without waiting for a response from the other party, Yi Zhenhua
Then he roared like thunder at the top of his lungs: "Where is Commander Ma Qingma? Please come out and see him!"
Behind the slope opposite, Liu Qinghua put his gun on Ma Qing's back and said: "Captain Ma, Yi Zhenhua wants to see you. Didn't you say he was the one who harmed our brigade? Just confront him face to face. If
He was really the one who killed Brigadier. You can just take the opportunity to kill him and avenge Brigadier. I think all the brothers present will follow you and fight to the death with the garrison!"
After talking about it, Liu Qinghua's eyes had turned to the other officers and soldiers of the 15th Regiment around him. When Liu Qinghua said this, the officers and soldiers of the 15th Regiment who were watched by the officers and soldiers of the Guard Company also unanimously turned their attention to Ma Qing.
.
Facing everyone's gaze, Ma Qing felt miserable. He knew that if he went out without fighting at this time, it would be unjustifiable. Not to mention leading his subordinates to betray the country and join the enemy as traitors, I'm afraid they wouldn't even recognize him.
The group leader said both.
In desperation, Ma Qing had no choice but to order Liu Qinghua, Mu Dequan, Zhang Dechun and others to lead guards to follow him out to confront Yi Zhenhua. His intention was obvious. With more people, he would be safer, and at least he could have someone to support him when he died.
This is what he was thinking at this time.
Liu Qinghua, Mu Dequan, Zhang Dechun and others each brought two guards and stood up one after another after Ma Qing and his two personal guards, and then walked forward hand in hand.
Yi Zhenhua also jumped out of the jeep and came up to him with four burly guards armed with Somi submachine guns. The two sides stood less than fifty meters apart.
Yi Zhenhua opened his mouth and asked: "Captain Ma, I wonder why you led your troops north in such a hurry? Did you have an order from the King's Brigade?"
Ma Qing was startled at first, and then yelled at Yi Zhenhua: "Yi Zhenhua, you ungrateful bastard, it was in vain that our fifth brigade worked tirelessly and bravely to fight to the death when your troops were besieged by the Japanese army.
Rescue me, but you, a despicable villain, secretly bribed our traitors to murder our host, and now you are still here pretending to be crazy?!"
"What a joke, how could I kill General Wang Yi!" Yi Zhenhua showed the commendation message in his hand calmly: "Open your dog eyes and take a closer look. I am a special appointee of the Military Commission of the National Revolutionary Army."
Major general and deputy commander of the fifth security brigade, it is necessary for me to murder Wang
A famous anti-Japanese general like General Yi? But you, Commander Ma, you should have known about the merger of the fifth brigade and our garrison for a long time. Even if General Wang Yi was killed, you led the troops without my consent.
The purpose of traveling north overnight is really intriguing!!"
"Hmph, it is precisely because you are the major general and deputy brigade commander appointed by the national government that you would murder our brigade, because once the brigade dies, you can legitimately become the brigade commander of the fifth brigade!" Ma Qingzheng
He bravely retorted loudly.
"You keep saying that I plotted to kill General Wang Yi, what evidence do you have?" Yi Zhenhua asked still very confidently.
"Of course there is. When your garrison and our fifth brigade received the appointment letter from the National Military Commission at the same time, you deliberately pretended not to know and prevaricated our brigade, so you did not cooperate with the co-organizer! Why do you dare to conceal your disobedience?
g
qìng Military Commission's order, it turns out that you had harbored evil intentions and attempted to murder our brigade commander and then annex our fifth brigade! So you later bribed Song Biao, a soldier of our regiment, even though he killed our brigade!" Ma Qing still persisted.
The scalp said loudly.
"Ma Qing, Ma Qing, I say you are really a fucking pig. If I want to be the commander of the fifth brigade, I can do it as early as when you go up the mountain! And if I am really the one behind the murder of General Wang Yi
Murderer, is it necessary to talk so much nonsense to you here? With your fighting power, it will not be easy for our garrison to eliminate you?"
After saying this, Yi Zhenhua turned his attention to Liu Qinghua and others on both sides behind Ma Qing. "Because, I know that most of the officers and soldiers of the 15th Security Regiment have been deceived by villains. I know that all of them
They are all upright men, passionate men on the anti-Japanese battlefield!"
"So, I will never do anything to my compatriots. As for you saying that I bribed the soldiers of your regiment." Yi Zhenhua waved his hand behind him, and soon several soldiers of the garrison were walking quickly carrying a corpse.
He ran over like flying.
When the soldiers put down the stretcher, Yi Zhenhua pointed at the body on the stretcher and said, "Is this the person you mentioned who was bribed by me?"
Song Biao, Liu Qinghua, Zhang Dechun, Mu Dequan and others all knew each other, because he had always been one of Ma Qing's trusted guards.
When Ma Qing saw Song Biao's body, he suddenly panicked. If Yi Zhenhua really bribed Song Biao, then Song Biao had made a great contribution by killing Wang Yi, and he would not have been killed anyway.
At the same time, Liu Qinghua and Mu Dequan also thought the same thing in their minds, and then thought of what Yi Zhenhua said. If Wang Yi was really killed by himself, he could completely eliminate his own side with his absolute military strength, so why bother to fight here?
Are we talking nonsense?
However, Ma Qing quickly argued: "You are deliberately killing people to silence them so that there will be no evidence to prove it! Yes, that must be the case!"
Yi Zhenhua sneered at Ma Qing's sophistry and snorted coldly: "Commander Ma, you insist on saying that. Well, let's not talk about it for now. First, tell me why you want to lead your troops north without authorization? Are you?
Don’t you know that both the north and the south are already Japanese war zones? Does Commander Ma plan to lead his men to fight guerrillas in the occupied areas? Or is there some ulterior secret? "
Liu Qinghua secretly thought, let's see how you explain it. At the same time, Mu Dequan, Zhang Dechun and others also turned to look at Ma Qing. Ma Qing has never given a clear explanation to this question. Where is he going to lead his brothers?
Fighting guerrillas? It’s impossible. Is it really Tou Benri himself?
Thinking of this, the eyes of Mu Dequan and others became more and more anxious.
Facing the inquiring eyes of his subordinates, Ma Qing said in a hurry without thinking: "Yes, because you harmed our brigade, if I don't lead my troops to leave, my fifth brigade will be swallowed up by you sooner or later.
, As for the purpose of going north, you are really right, I just want to lead my brothers to go north to resist the Japanese, fight into the occupied areas, and carry out guerrilla warfare!"
"What the hell are you talking about? You really can quibble. I want to ask you, why did the Japanese who had already given up on Qiongzhong suddenly come back and occupy Qiongzhong as soon as you retreated?" Yi Zhenhua
