The headquarters of the supplementary regiment was set up in a private house in the center of Jiangqiao Town. Liu Ming meant that four streets could be controlled remotely from here, and he could respond immediately no matter what happened on that street.
Although his supplementary regiment is temporary, and once the mission here is over, it may be directly dismantled and reorganized into the main regiments that have suffered greater losses, Liu Ming is not worried about his future at all.
All the main force regiments that need to be repaired are basically crippled. As a major and deputy commander, he might be able to become a deputy of the main force if he can be repaired. As long as he doesn't die unluckily, his future will be bright.
Liu Ming slept soundly, having a sweet dream, murmuring and giggling, which was particularly charming in such a dark night.
Snapped--
Liu Ming was awakened by a crisp gunshot, and his sweet dream was shattered. He sat up and found that he was still sleeping on the cold and hard wooden board.
"Shooting there?!" Liu Ming stood up from the wooden bed, put on his shoes, and shouted outside.
With a creaking sound, a soldier holding a weak lantern pushed open the door and walked in: "Deputy Liu, it seems that the Second Company on South Street is shooting."
Liu Ming had a sulky expression on his face as his sweet dream was disturbed. When he walked out of the house, he saw a platoon of security guards sleeping in other houses, all disheveled and running out with their guns in hand. He was a little flustered but his reaction was quite quick.
The guard platoon of the supplementary regiment headquarters blocked the door at the platoon leader's shout. Everyone loaded their bullets, and the muzzles of their guns stretched out along the courtyard wall and were pointed at the dark street.
There was only one gunshot, then disappeared in a flash. Liu Ming stood on the steps of the yard with a short gun in his hand and listened carefully. Indeed, there was no gunshot again, as if no gunshot had been fired just now.
What happened to the Second Company? Liu Ming was not sure, because the gun only fired once, and then the surroundings fell silent again. Could it be that the Japanese had come over? But there shouldn't be only one shot. There were more than a hundred people in the Second Company.
Isn't it possible that all the numbered people were touched by the Japanese? Liu Ming was shocked by his own thoughts.
Liu Ming was really not sure, so he kicked a soldier standing nervously beside him and said, "Go to South Street and see what the Second Company is up to."
The soldier was already nervous, and his calves were trembling as he looked at the dark lights outside: "They... their guns must have gone off..."
"You talk so much nonsense, just go if you are told!" Liu Ming saw that the soldier he ordered could not move, so he kicked him again and urged.
The unlucky guy held the gun and walked back into the dark outside three times. As soon as he poked his head out of the courtyard gate, he heard the messy footsteps coming from the street, and immediately retracted: "Someone... someone is coming!"
The soldiers in the guard platoon lying on the wall of the courtyard were pulling the bolts of their guns, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
When the third company commander Li Tiezhu heard the gunfire and could not tell what happened, his first reaction was to go find Deputy Liu to join him, so he led his men straight to the temporary regiment headquarters.
Li Tiezhu was running without noticing the black muzzle protruding from the wall of the regimental courtyard. With a bang, the bullet hit half a meter in front of Li Tiezhu, sending sparks flying in the dark night.
Li Tiezhu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He braked suddenly and dodged a row of bullets. The people behind him also scattered and hurriedly took cover.
"Grandma, we are our own people!" Li Tiezhu was angry because he was almost reimbursed by his own people, and his voice was a little irritable.
"It seems to be the third company commander?" The soldiers in the guard platoon who fired because of nervousness looked at each other and secretly said that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple.
"Let Li Tiezhu come in." When Liu Ming heard Li Tiezhu's voice outside, he felt more at ease and asked someone to reopen the door.
Although Li Tiezhu was angry, he could only hold it in when facing Liu Ming. During the meeting, the two parties were not clear about the initial gunfire, so Liu Ming had to go and see it in person.
As soon as he stepped out, the people sent by the 1st and 4th companies to inquire about the situation also arrived. Liu Ming himself didn't know what happened, so he directly ordered the 1st and 4th companies to stick to the existing positions and be on guard.
Logically speaking, Jiangqiao was close to the side and rear of the battlefield, and the Japanese should not have attacked so quickly. However, just to be on the safe side, the men from the regimental security platoon and the third company still moved toward South Street in combat formation.
At this moment, on the South Street of Yangling's Second Company, torches were lit. Soldiers with guns surrounded all the more than 30 refugees. A dead man wearing a double-breasted coat was lying on the ground next to him, and the air was floating in the air.
A faint smell of blood.
A few meters away, there were three men dressed as refugees who were pinned to the ground by the soldiers. They were giggling and still struggling. They were Japanese soldiers dressed as refugees.
Lao Wang was sitting with his head against the wall, and a soldier was bandaging his arm. His arm was cut with a bayonet, and he grinned in pain.
Lao Wangtou noticed that something was wrong with some of the refugees, so he followed Yang Ling's order and arrested them for interrogation before delivering food.
But Lao Wangtou underestimated the vigilance of these Japs disguised as refugees. As soon as Lao Wangtou and the others approached, they wanted to run away. Fortunately, Lao Wangtou and the others were prepared and took action directly.
Even so, more than a dozen of them still spent a lot of effort to subdue the four spies and shot one to death. No one was killed among the soldiers, but all were more or less injured.
Yang Ling was not surprised to find Japanese spies among the refugees. The Japanese had been plotting against China for a long time, and their spies were spread all over the country. Now that the refugees were heading to Nanjing, they were probably also serving as a frontline for their troops.
Yang Ling stood under the torch, silent and did not speak. He glanced at the faces of the surrounded refugees and asked with a sullen face: "Are there any Japanese spies among you?"
A Japs spy was discovered among the refugees. The refugees were in a panic, fearing that they would be executed for colluding with the Japs. The leader, a man in a gray robe, hurriedly explained: "Sir, sir, it's really none of our business. These days
We met everyone on the road, and then we left together. We really didn’t collude with Little Japan..."
"I'm not asking you if you have colluded. I'm just asking if there is anyone in your team who has joined in the middle. If you take the initiative to explain, I can treat you leniently. If I find out, huh!"
Yang Ling said half and half, which was full of warning.
"Sir, sir, we are all neighbors who fled together. I promise, I promise there will be no Japanese spies." The man in gray robes said hurriedly.
Yang Ling waved to the platoon leader behind him: "Look through their shoes——"
The wolf-like soldiers swarmed forward, threw the refugees to the ground, and opened the soles of their shoes to identify them. They found that the four Japanese spies were all wearing military shoes with cleats, so they only needed to check again.
identify.
There were both men and women among the refugees. Faced with the wolf-like soldiers, they suddenly screamed and panicked. However, after the inspection, no similar situation was found. This made Yang Ling breathe a sigh of relief. The only spies who had sneaked in were probably
Four.
Yang Ling doesn't speak Japanese, and neither do the top soldiers around him. It's impossible to interrogate these Japanese spies. They are still struggling at the moment.
Fortunately, regimental deputy Liu Ming brought people over at this moment. Looking at the refugees who were surrounded by a circle, and then seeing the dead people in the same clothes lying on the ground, Liu Ming's expression darkened, and he asked with all his face: "Yang Ling, you
How to shoot people!"
"Vice-General, they are Japanese spies." Lao Wangtou stood up and explained.
"Spy?" Liu Ming was stunned and turned his head suspiciously. Just in time to hear the struggling Japanese spy screaming, he immediately believed what Lao Wangtou said.
Seeing the jabbering Japanese spies, Liu Ming suddenly felt very angry. He went up and kicked him several times, breathing out his bad breath for his dead comrades.
When he was a battalion commander, he was guarding Baoshan, and a battalion was completely destroyed, so he became angry when he saw the Japanese.
