As soon as the train left the transfer station, the monk breathed a sigh of relief, then patted Li Changguo on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you've done a good job!"
Li Changguo hurriedly replied: "I dare not say that I have made meritorious service, company commander, I can only atone for my sins... To be honest, we brothers..."
As he spoke, he looked at the prisoners next to him and said: "It's actually not easy for us. We just want to survive. Otherwise, who would be willing to follow the Japanese!"
The monk nodded and said, "That's OK. You can follow us from now on. Are you willing?"
"Yes, of course I am!" Li Changguo answered without thinking: "Thank you, sir, for your cultivation!"
Other prisoners also answered one after another:
"Follow the commander to fight the Japanese from now on!"
"We have long wanted to defect to the Eighth Route Army, but this time we are in luck!"
…
The monk only believed half of their words. He glanced at Li Changguo and others, and then said to Shi Sha: "Give them the bullets and get ready for battle!"
"Yes!" Shi Sha responded, and ordered the soldiers to return the bullets to the prisoners...the prisoners' guns were on their bodies, because they had to pretend to be "normal" along the way to cheat the checkpoints. If they didn't have guns, they would definitely
It's not normal anymore.
Li Changguo hurriedly thanked him, and then he thought... If I go, will this save my life?
It's not surprising that Li Changguo thought this way, because if he had been worried about taking prisoners from the beginning, he shouldn't have given bullets now.
On the other hand, this Eighth Route Army is a reconnaissance company, and it will still participate in the battle when it reaches the front line. Another meaning of not firing bullets is that before the battle starts in Yuncheng, it is to get rid of the prisoners as soon as possible?
Shooting bullets now means that you can truly trust them, or that you believe they are willing to fight the Japanese.
Thinking of this, Li Changguo whispered to his subordinates: "Brothers, you have also seen that this Eighth Route Army is not simple. All of its men have real skills. If we want to survive, there is only one way to go to the dark and follow them.
Japs, if anyone gets his mind wrong... he may kill all of us, and I won't spare him the first one, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Understood, let's listen to the platoon leader!"
…
In fact, some people didn’t really understand it until this moment. Not long ago, they were still hesitant about whether to rebel on the front line!
It is actually normal for prisoners of the puppet army to have such thoughts, because they have been working under the Japanese for a long time so that they basically have no standpoints such as "nation", "national humiliation" and "honor". They only have "survival" and "fear".
If they only want to survive, then they will definitely weigh it in their minds: bet on the Japanese to win or bet on the Eighth Route Army to win.
There is actually nothing to bet on. Most people would bet on the Japanese to win.
Since you know that the Japs will win, if you still follow the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japs, isn't that like being kicked in the head by a donkey?
So, although they responded to the monk with their mouths, they had other plans in their hearts.
It wasn't until Li Changguo said those words that they realized that the Eighth Route Army had actually been wary of them, and they would be the first to die if anything went wrong.
So, from the perspective of survival, it was impossible not to fight this time, so I made up my mind.
In fact, what Li Changguo thought was right.
Although the monk is a big man, it is difficult for him to trust people... The monk is the kind of person who either doesn't believe it, but once he believes it, he trusts it unconditionally. For example, he believes everything he says to Li Yunlong and Xiao Dongbei, but as for others, then
You'll have to fight a few times with your fists to know if it's reliable.
Of course he didn't believe in these prisoners who had just surrendered from the puppet army. The lack of bullets for them was a clear proof.
The monk actually made up his mind to solve these "trouble" as soon as he arrived on the battlefield.
Just kidding, they are fighting behind the enemy's rear. Although they have an independent regiment to cooperate with them when they arrive in Yuncheng, the reconnaissance company is surrounded by Japs on all sides. If they are not careful, everything will be lost. How could the monk still put some uncertain factors in place?
By your side, isn't that asking for death?
But after Li Changguo showed his hand, the monk was shaken.
Because if Li Changguo had not sincerely surrendered, it would have been enough just not to speak at that moment. For them, just now was the best time for them to rebel, especially Li Changguo, who had already got off the train. All he had to do was run in the direction of the Japanese and then
If you shout a few times, Li Changguo will most likely survive.
Li Changguo did not do this, but helped the reconnaissance company survive the crisis.
At the same time, what Li Changguo said still left evidence with the Japs... If Li Changguo turned against the Japs again, the Japs would recognize him: "This is the person who said there were 'special shells' on the train.
It was he who helped the Eighth Route Army pass through the transfer station."
Then he tied it up twice and there was a "bang" sound...
Therefore, Li Changguo actually had no way out, and betraying him would mean death, so the monk decided to give them a chance.
Shi Sha also saw this change, and what he was thinking about was another angle: Li Changguo is good, he has some brains, and he can consider recruiting him into the reconnaissance company. There are many sharpshooters and tough guys in the reconnaissance company, but there are
Not many are smart.
At this time, the train was almost leaving the city, and the monk gave an order: "Get ready for battle!"
The soldiers each checked their equipment and finally loaded the bullets.
The Yuncheng headquarters had just received the telegram from the monk at this time... Four minutes was not too long, the correspondent sent it here and received it, decoded it and sent it to Li Yunlong, and it was almost over.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others were worried about the train getting stuck just now. In the blink of an eye, they received a telegram that the train had passed the transfer station and was about to arrive at the designated location. They were surprised and happy at the same time.
At this time, they no longer cared about how the train passed through the border. Li Yunlong grabbed the phone and loudly ordered: "Give me the order, beat! Beat me hard!"
The first thing to fire was Yuncheng's seventeen artillery pieces.
The difference between artillery and rocket launchers is that artillery has higher accuracy.
Therefore, a feint attack before the war can play a role... During the feint attack, it will attract Japanese firepower. Artillery observers secretly observe and measure, and calculate the coordinates and directions of these firepower points one by one in advance and pass them to the artillery.
The artillery then aggregates these firepower points, and once the war comes, it can implement relatively accurate firepower coverage to knock them out... If it is a rocket launcher, it is difficult to do this, so it is used to deal with large targets or enemies.
The artillery positions would be more practical.
Then the soldiers of the first battalion rushed upward. They attacked the enemy's No. 9 position from three directions: left, center and right.
The second battalion serves as the second echelon, and the third battalion serves as the reserve team.
The Fifth Battalion with tanks was waiting behind...the tanks were used by Li Yunlong for the final impact.
