Wang Chengzhu said modestly: "Commander Song was so ridiculous. Our Independent Battalion was able to achieve these military exploits entirely due to luck. As for the elimination of so many Japanese troops, it was not due to our Independent Battalion. Even our Independent Battalion cannot be regarded as the main contributor, nor is it the main contribution."

I just participated in these battles.”

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed his voice and continued: "In addition, I am a straight person. I wonder if our deputy battalion commander conveyed my thoughts to battalion commander Song?"

Song Hongwei: "My cousin has relayed all your thoughts to me. It is my honor to fight the Japanese with a commander like Battalion Commander Wang who can win battles and is considerate of his subordinates. It is my honor and it is every soldier's dream."

When I surrendered to the Japanese and became a traitor along with my commander, it was not because I was afraid of death, but because I didn't want to die a worthless death.

Now that he has the opportunity to serve his country and fight against the Japanese, and with such a wise commander as Battalion Commander Wang, Song certainly wants it!

So I am willing to join the Eighth Route Army!"

Wang Chengzhu said with a solemn expression: "Captain Song, before joining our Eighth Route Army, I must make it clear to you. First of all, the conditions of our Eighth Route Army are extremely difficult, and we don't even have military pay. Also, our independent battalion will often fight with little devils."

, Therefore, including me, there is a possibility of sacrifice at any time.

Finally, and most importantly, our independent battalion is only a battalion-level combat unit, so if you accept my adaptation, the most I can do is give you the military position of company commander, and it will still be without a military rank."

Song Hongwei said sternly: "Commander Wang, Song is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone a person who is greedy for glory and wealth.

Seeing the Japanese invaders occupying our land and slaughtering my compatriots, I have long wanted to revolt and fight against them.

It's just that Song knows his own abilities. It's impossible for me to defeat the Japs on my own, and I may even let my brothers sacrifice themselves in vain.

That’s why Song has lived an ignoble existence until now.”

"Now that I can fight with a hero like you, Battalion Commander Wang, let alone be a company commander, even if I can be a soldier charging into battle, I, Song Hongwei, have no objection at all!

It can be regarded as atonement for my previous sin of being a traitor!"

"Okay!" Wang Chengzhu nodded with great satisfaction: "Okay, from now on, you, Song Hongwei, and your brothers are members of my independent battalion and are also the brothers of my Wang."

"I can't guarantee promotion and wealth, but when I get to the battlefield, no matter what happens, I promise that I will never abandon you. Even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, Wang will advance and retreat together with you brothers! Live and die together! If anything happens.

If you break your promise, both humans and gods will punish you!"

Wang Chengzhu's sonorous and powerful words were extremely contagious, instantly bringing Song Hongwei closer to him and giving Song Hongwei a sense of belonging to the independent camp.

He immediately saluted and pledged: "Hongwei vows to live and die together with the commander!"

Wang Chengzhu returned the salute and then said: "Captain Song, we will postpone the matter of your refusal to adapt for a while. The real purpose of leading my troops to Wanjia Town tonight is to eliminate the remnants of the Japanese 4th Brigade. Now I need

Your help."

Song Hongwei: "I have long disliked these stupid little devils, and I am willing to serve you, sir!"

Immediately, Song Hongwei told Wang Chengzhu the situation of the Japanese 4th Brigade. Because he had first-hand information, Song Hongwei's department was even responsible for the eating, drinking, and diarrhea of ​​the Japanese 4th Brigade.

Therefore, Song Hongwei's account was much more detailed than the intelligence collected by Wang Shugen and Duan Peng.

After Nishiyama Masao led his troops to flee to Wanjia Town, he seized the barracks of Song Hongwei's troops and ordered Song Hongwei to entertain them with delicious food and drinks.

The little devils of the 4th Brigade marched for two consecutive days and fought fierce battles with the Independent Battalion and other units. Their physical strength was very serious and their mental state was extremely depressed.

In addition, Wanjia Town is located in the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area and has a city wall. In addition, there are a large number of Imperial Army soldiers on guard. Therefore, Nishiyama Masao and the Japanese soldiers of the 4th Brigade relaxed their heartstrings even though they were tense.

After eating and drinking, only some soldiers were sent to patrol near the barracks, and the rest all entered the barracks and fell asleep.

Originally, Wang Chengzhu's battle plan was to send Langya to kill the puppet troops on duty on the city wall, then open the city gate, let the main force of the Independent Battalion enter Wanjia Town, and finally conduct a sneak attack on the remnants of the Japanese 4th Brigade.

Now that Song Hongwei is acting as an internal coordinator and he knows the specific situation of the remaining members of the Japanese 4th Brigade, things are even easier to handle.

After Song Hongwei finished speaking, Wang Chengzhu's original plan remained largely unchanged. The only difference was that there was no need to send Lang Ya to kill the puppet troops on the city wall.

Immediately, Wang Chengzhu and Song Hongwei led the independent battalion troops and headed straight for Wanjia Town under the cover of night.

On the way, Wang Chengzhu asked Song Hongwei on the side: "Captain Song, I wonder if you have any relatives in the Imperial Alliance Army?"

Song Hongwei answered truthfully: "Yes, I still have several older cousins, nephews and uncles serving in the Imperial Association Army. Some are company commanders and some are platoon leaders. My third uncle has the highest military position and is the 3rd 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army."

The leader of the regiment."

Wang Chengzhu originally just asked casually. After all, several of Sun Desheng's old cousins ​​had surrendered to the Japs and became the Imperial Alliance Army, and Wang Shugen's old cousin Liu Qiang also became the Imperial Alliance Army.

Now there are two old cousins, Xu Hailang and Song Hongwei.

But what he didn't expect was that after asking him casually, Song Hongwei actually had many relatives who were members of the Imperial Alliance Army, and they were all doing well.

However, when I think about it, before the Japanese invaded China, warlords were constantly fighting in the country, and many people were almost related to each other. Then a large number of warlord troops defected to the enemy. It is not surprising that there are so many people in the Imperial Alliance Army who are related to each other.

Take the Sichuan Army as an example. There are more than 40 warlords, large and small, in Sichuan. The civil war has lasted for more than 20 years and more than 470 wars have occurred, an average of more than 20 times a year.

According to normal understanding, if fighting occurs with such frequency, the people of Sichuan should be miserable and suffer all the casualties, right?

However, the situation was exactly the opposite. During this period, Sichuan's population increased instead of falling, which did not affect the normal life of the people at all.

The reason is very simple, because many warlords are related by relatives, so they rarely kill people during wars, and they almost call it a day as soon as the bullets are fired.

Even if the opponent is defeated, he will not pursue him deeply.

If the other party electrifies and goes out of the field and has no money to spend, you have to give them money.

In this way, not one of the more than 40 warlords in Sichuan died in the war.

Even when warlords are fighting, there are many ordinary people nearby to watch the fun.

There was a war between warlords and the common people were watching the excitement. One of them was killed by a stray bullet, and the warlords even lost money.

Moreover, the Sichuan Army still has four major areas that it does not attack: it does not attack when farming is busy, it does not attack when harvesting, it does not attack in the crop fields, and it does not attack on weddings and weddings.

This is the Sichuan Army!

In fact, not only Sichuan, but also warlords in other places are similar.

This is exactly the case, so it is not surprising that a large number of relatives of the Imperial Association Army are also Imperial Association Army.
