The first thousand two hundred and forty-six chapters clean up the portal

Xie Zhengxiang, with a bruised nose and swollen face, became a prisoner of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. The puppet troops gathered under his command also died, fled and dispersed.

Zheng Gang, who was in charge of covering the rear, unexpectedly defeated the puppet army chasing behind them and captured Xie Zhengxiang, commander of the puppet army, which was considered a small victory.

However, they also learned from the interrogated prisoners that this puppet army only had more than 500 people. Apart from those who were captured and killed on the spot, there was also a group of more than 100 puppet soldiers who escaped when the situation was bad.

Moreover, behind this puppet army, the little Japanese from the Yamaguchi Infantry Brigade followed closely. Zheng Gang and the others suffered more than a hundred officers and soldiers casualties in the battle, which was also a heavy loss.

Therefore, after cleaning the battlefield and burying the bodies, under the order of the battalion commander Zheng Gang, everyone immediately left the battlefield with the captured weapons, ammunition and prisoners, chasing Zhang Liechen and others who had evacuated earlier.

Zhang Liechen and the others, carrying numerous machines and equipment, as well as old, weak, women and children, were not walking very fast on the rugged mountain road. Zheng Gang and the others caught up with them at noon.

Battalion Commander Zheng Gang and Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming immediately found Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen and handed over the task to him.

"Sir Zhang, we have eliminated most of the more than 500 puppet troops chasing us, except for more than 100 who fled, and we also captured more than 100 people."

"Okay, well done!"

Zhang Liechen's original intention was to let Zheng Gang and others stay behind to block the attack and buy some time for the people to evacuate.

But what was unexpected was that Battalion Commander Zheng Gang and the others not only completed the task of blocking the attack, but also almost wiped out all the pursuers. This undoubtedly made Zhang Liechen breathe a long sigh of relief.

Although they now have tens of thousands of people, most of them are unarmed civilians. If they are really caught up, it will be really troublesome. Fortunately, the pursuers have been defeated now.

"Although we defeated the puppet troops, we learned from the captured puppet troops that there was a group of Japanese soldiers chasing after them."

Although they won a small victory, Zheng Gang and the others did not feel relaxed at all.

"You don't need to worry too much. Now we have gone deep into the mountains. The Japanese are not familiar with the terrain in the mountains, so I don't think they dare to go deep into it rashly."

Facing the little Japs behind him, Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen didn't have too many worries. After all, the Japs were always very cautious when fighting in unfamiliar areas and would never be as reckless as the puppet troops.

"Sir Zhang, among the puppet troops we captured, we found that the leader of the puppet army is Xie Zhengxiang. How should we deal with it?"

After giving a report, the battalion commander Zheng Gang asked deputy captain Zhang Liechen for instructions.

"Xie Zhengxiang?"

"Yes, he has been appointed by the Nanjing puppet government as the colonel commander of the first regiment of the fifth division of the puppet army. This time he led his men to chase after them." Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming replied.

"He surrendered and became a traitor, which had a great impact on our Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. I didn't expect that he would actually help the tyrants and bring puppet troops to attack us in an attempt to eliminate us. Since he is unkind, he cannot blame us for being unjust."

Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen thought for a while and then said: "I mean to shoot him immediately to set the record straight. What do you think?"

"I support it. This can shock those people with evil intentions and let them know the consequences of being traitors!"

"Now our Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has lost Huaiyin and its future is uncertain. There have been several deserters in the past two days. Now we can kill traitors in public to stabilize people's hearts."

"Okay, then I will ask other people's opinions later. You are also tired. Go and take a rest to replenish your strength. I have already sent people to Xiaoqingshan Black Wolf Village to find out the news. I'm afraid you will have to take action then.

Take down the Black Wolf Village."

"yes!"

Battalion Commander Zheng Gang and Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming saluted and went to rest immediately.

Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen immediately summoned the staff officers and asked for their opinions on how to deal with the traitor Xie Zhengxiang.

Everyone was already angry about Xie Zhengxiang's surrender to the enemy and the fall of Huaiyin. Now that they heard that he led people to hunt him down again, they were all filled with righteous indignation and supported the execution of this traitor.

After unifying everyone's opinions, deputy captain Zhang Liechen took advantage of everyone's break in the river valley to inform everyone that they were ready to execute the traitor Xie Zhengxiang immediately.

Tens of thousands of workers, civilians, and family members of military officers and soldiers were exhausted after traveling long distances, and all the reasons were due to the loss of Huaiyin, which caused them to lose their foothold.

When they heard that Xie Zhengxiang, the traitor who surrendered to the enemy in Huaiyin, was to be shot in public, everyone clapped their hands and gathered to watch the execution. For a while, the crowds were crowded, and the river valley was filled with people.

Many people couldn't see it and had to climb up nearby slopes and rocks. Some even climbed up tree trunks to watch.

The place where the execution was carried out was also very crude. The brothers in the engineering class temporarily cleared a higher-lying area to serve as the execution platform.

When the common people and family members of the troops gathered together, Zhang Liechen did not want to waste time and ordered Xie Zhengxiang to be taken into custody.

Although Xie Zhengxiang was still wearing the uniform of a colonel of the puppet army, his nose and face were swollen and he was in a miserable state.

When he saw the dark crowd of onlookers, he knew that his life was in danger. His legs became so weak that he couldn't even walk.

The two officers and soldiers who detained Xie Zhengxiang did not care about the number of people and directly carried the ashen-faced Xie Zhengxiang to the place of execution.

When everyone saw Xie Zhengxiang being carried to the execution platform, those family members whose relatives had been killed in Huaiyin began to curse with righteous indignation, and the crowd was filled with emotions.

"Kill the traitor!"

"Kill the traitors like dogs!"

...

Seeing the excited people, Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen hurriedly stepped forward to silence everyone. Then he looked coldly at Xie Zhengxiang, who was limp as mud, and began to read out the decision of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.

Zhang Liechen first accused Xie Zhengxiang of his crimes, and then in full public view, announced that the traitor Xie Zhengxiang would be executed immediately.

"No, no, you can't kill me!"

When he heard Zhang Liechen personally announcing that he would be shot immediately, the frightened Xie Zhengxiang finally reacted and shouted hurriedly.

"I am an officer appointed by the theater command. You have no right to kill me. I want to see the theater commander!"

"Hmph! Execution!"

Seeing the traitor Xie Zhengxiang who was still shouting before his death, deputy captain Zhang Liechen just gave him a cold look and waved to the five officers and soldiers who were being executed.

"Zhang Liechen, you are killing indiscriminately, you are using lynching! The war zone commanders will not spare you!"

If he went directly to the military court, Xie Zhengxiang felt that if he refused to admit it, he might just be sentenced. But who knew that Zhang Liechen would not follow common sense and actually wanted to shoot him immediately? He suddenly panicked.

But no matter how much Xie Zhengxiang screamed, no one stood up to plead for him. They all looked on with cold eyes, watching him threaten like a clown and beg for mercy in tears.

"Raise the gun!"

The five execution brothers raised their guns and aimed at the tied-up Xie Zhengxiang, with serious expressions on their faces.

"shooting!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Five bullets immediately rushed out of the gun chamber and entered Xie Zhengxiang's body at close range. His body was shaken by the impact of the bullets, and streams of blood flew out. Xie Zhengxiang's screams stopped abruptly.

Soon, Xie Zhengxiang fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness, tilted his head, and died.

"Sir, the traitor Xie Zhengxiang is dead!"

Soon, a brother who came to inspect reported loudly to Zhang Liechen.
