Pu County was once again captured by the Independent Regiment.
However, the independent regiment has now been upgraded to a military division.
Counting from the first time Xu Rui captured Pucheng, this was already the third time.
For Yang Banan, this is also a return to his hometown. But last time, he appeared as the chief of staff of the Wannan Independent Regiment of the Third War Zone of the National Army. However, now, he is serving as the third officer of the Dameishan Military Division of the New Fourth Army.
The identity of the commander of the seventh battalion of the regiment appeared in Pucheng. The identity has been changed, and the position is also very different.
Seeing that it was Yang Banan who was in charge of the review of prisoners of war, Wang Yi, who was among the puppet prisoners of war, was extremely anxious. He and Yang Banan had worked together for several months and were very familiar with each other. His outfit could
He could hide it from others in the New Fourth Army, but it was impossible to hide it from Yang Banan no matter what.
Wang Yi decided to run away.
Because Wang Yi is very clear about the policies of the New Fourth Army. The New Fourth Army always punishes only the culprits and mostly treats the puppet army prisoners of war who blindly follow them with leniency. Therefore, if he can get through, he can escape calmly, but if he is attacked by Yang Bayan
If he is found out, he will be dead! Yang Banan will settle old and new grudges together and will not let him go no matter what.
However, escaping from the tight surveillance of New Fourth Army guards is not an easy task.
Just as Wang Yi took a few steps back, a bright bayonet was immediately pressed against his back. Looking back, he saw a New Fourth Army soldier already standing behind him with a bayonet in his hand.
"What do you want to do?" the New Fourth Army soldier asked coldly.
"You don't want to do anything, I just want to relieve myself." Wang Yi said with a flattering smile.
"Release yourself?" the New Fourth Army soldier said coldly, "Hold it in, if you can't hold it in anymore, just pee it in your crotch!"
Seeing that his escape failed, Wang Yi could only walk back to the original place with a slumped head and said: "Okay, hold it in."
In the blink of an eye, the long team of prisoners had almost been interrogated, and finally it was Wang Yi's turn.
"Go over!" A New Fourth Army soldier kicked Wang Yi on the butt. Wang Yi staggered and involuntarily came to Yang Banan. Yang Banan did not raise his head and asked out of habit: "What's your name?"
"Brother, Brother Yang." Seeing that he couldn't hide, Wang Yi immediately put on a smile on his face.
Yang Balan raised his head when he heard the sound and said in surprise: "Ah, isn't this the King's Tuan Zuo? Tuan Zuo, you're fine."
The reason why Yang Banan stayed was for Wang Yi. Otherwise, he should have led his troops and the regiment leader He Shuya to advance toward Pukou at this time. The last Pucheng Incident failed to capture Wang Yi, which made Yang Banan very difficult.
Annoyed, this time he refused to let Wang Yi go no matter what, so he stayed and personally presided over the interrogation of the prisoners.
"You're fine, you're fine." Wang Yi pretended not to understand the sarcasm in Yang Banan's words, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Yang, for caring about me. I've always been very good, brother, hehe."
Yang Banan just smiled and said nothing more. He just said to the guard: "Bring everyone up!"
The guard turned around and waved, and a group of soldiers escorted more than a dozen squires into the gate. However, several of these dozen squires were old acquaintances of the independent group, such as Qian Liufu, president of Pu County Chamber of Commerce, and Hon Hai Bank.
Shopkeeper He Honghai and Pu County Maintenance Chairman Chang Delu have already dealt with the independent group twice.
"Hey, isn't this President Qian? Shopkeeper He and President Chang?" Yang Banan smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Qian Liufu, Stanley Ho and Chang Delu were so shocked by Yang Banan's laughter.
Yang Banan didn't bother to talk nonsense to these traitors and said: "Chairman Qian, Chairman Chang and other shopkeepers, or else we should still follow the old rules? A hundred thousand yuan for each person's ransom?"
Upon hearing this, a dozen squires were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
"Sir Yang." Qian Liufu said with a sad face, "Can it be a little less?"
"Less?" Yang Banan smiled slightly and said, "Less is fine, but I have to be with Wang Tuanzuo if I can't help it, hehe." After saying that, Yang Banan took out Bolang.
Ning fired his pistol with a click and then pulled the trigger on Wang Yi's head. Wang Yi didn't even have time to beg for mercy before his head was shot.
After being shot in the head, Wang Yi fell straight down like a sawn wood, and fell in front of Qian Liufu and the others, and his eyes that had lost their vitality just looked at the three of them.
They were so frightened that they were afraid that they would follow Wang Yi and go to see the Lord of Hell in the next second.
Yang Banan said: "President Qian, and everyone else, you can choose for yourself."
Qian Liufu said pitifully: "But, Chief Yang, one hundred thousand oceans is too much."
Chang Delu also said with a sad face: "That's right, we really can't afford so much money."
He Honghai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "We have already paid ransom money twice to your army. Even if we are cutting leeks, we can't cut them so frequently. We have to be allowed a long time, right?"
"Okay, then you guys can grow up slowly." After Yang Banan finished speaking, he nodded to the guards on both sides.
A dozen guards on both sides immediately raised their 38 caps, loaded the ammunition with a loud click, and pointed the black muzzles at Qian Liufu and a dozen other squires.
"No, no, no, why don't we pay? Let's pay!"
Qian Liufu and a dozen other squires were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"If you had cooperated so early, it would have been over." Yang Banan said with a smile, "If you don't have a toast, you will be punished with a drink, so why bother?"
Qian Liufu and a dozen other squires exchanged glances with each other, and all of them lowered their heads. Damn it, is it easy for us to save a few hard-earned money, but in the blink of an eye we have joined the New Fourth Army again.
I can't live this day.
(Dividing line)
It was not only the three of them, Qian Liufu, but also Hisao Nishio who felt that their lives were difficult.
Nishio Hisao received the news of the fall of Pu County and Shanxian County a few minutes earlier than Xu Rui. When the news came, Nishio Hisao was holding a press conference to announce to reporters from China, Japan and Western countries, "
"Liberation of Wuhan" and claimed that it is a big step closer to the goal of co-prosperity in Greater East Asia.
However, the news of the fall of the two counties immediately disrupted the rhythm of the press conference.
Because all the media reporters present had their own reliable sources of information, just a few minutes after Nishio Hisao received the news of the fall of Pu County and Shan County, reporters from all walks of life also learned about the news, and immediately there was
A reporter from the Damei Evening News asked: "Your Excellency, General, you just said that China's organized resistance has been crushed, but the words are still in your ears. Pu County and Shan County were immediately lost. What is the explanation for this?"
Nishio Hiszo said: "I would like to add that when I said China's organized resistance, I meant that the armed resistance of the National Government as a central government has been crushed. Now the National Government has been downgraded to a local government. As for Pu County,
As well as the loss of Shan County, it was just the work of the guerrillas, and the scabies disease is not a concern."
Immediately, a reporter from Miller's Review asked relentlessly: "Your Majesty General, you said that Xu Rui just suffered from scabies? According to the information I got, your Japanese government is recruiting Xu Rui to surrender. I would like to ask, if
Xu Rui only suffers from scabies, so why should the Japanese government bother to recruit him?"
"This is a military secret, so I have no comment."
Nishio Hisao could only talk about him, but then, the questions from various reporters became more and more difficult to answer, and each one was more difficult to answer. At this point, the press conference could no longer continue. Nishio Hisao
He could only hand the microphone to Liang Hongzhi, who was hosting the press conference, and then left the venue in despair.
Returning to the youth garden headquarters, Hisao Nishio took off his saber and slapped it heavily on the big table. He said to Kawabe Shozo, the chief of staff of the Central China Condemnation Army who walked in immediately: "Kawabe-san, I can't live this life."
Oh! I don’t understand why the base camp is trying so hard to recruit Xu Rui? And Dofeiyuan, how long are they going to tolerate Xu Rui?”
Kawabe Shozo gritted his teeth and said: "The bunch of bureaucrats at the base camp don't understand the situation on the front line at all. They don't know that the chance of recruiting Xu Rui to surrender is very slim. Doihara Kenji's approach will only further help the Dameishan Independent Regiment."
The current strength is only in Pu County and Shan County, but in a few days, this storm will spread to more than a dozen counties outside Damei Mountain."
After a pause, Hebian Zhengzo continued: "What I am most worried about is that when the bureaucrats in the base camp wake up, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has become a prairie fire in central Anhui, northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu. By then
, those bureaucrats only need to casually say that they made strategic mistakes without even reviewing them, but we must repay them ten times or even a hundred times for their mistakes!"
"Who says it's not?" Nishio Shouzou said depressingly, "It's just the National Army, not to mention a mere 10,000 or 20,000 people, even if it's a corps with more than 100,000 people, it's nothing. But Xu Rui, his Dameishan Independence
But the regiment is different. It is not an easy task to take back a county town from the Dameishan Independent Regiment."
Kawabe Shozo was awestruck when he heard this, because Nishio Shouzou was telling the truth.
The Battle of Feicheng is not far away, and the Battle of Jiujiang happened not long ago. These two battles can fully prove Xu Rui's commanding ability and the combat effectiveness of the Dameishan Independent Regiment. If the Dameishan Independent Regiment is really allowed to capture more than a dozen people around it,
County, and asking Xu Rui to concentrate the manpower and material resources of these dozen counties would be a big trouble.
Kawabe Masami said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty General, it seems necessary to send another telegram to the Doihara agency to explain our point of view to them again. Xu Rui can try to surrender, but for the offensive of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, it is absolutely not possible.
Connivance must be curbed as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be irreversible!"
But Nishio Juzo waved his hand and said: "No, Kawabe-san, call the base camp directly this time! This guy Doihara has always been bold. Back then, he was just a small chief staff officer, and he dared to make decisions for Honjo, so I told him
It’s useless, the base camp must come forward to put pressure on him.”
