Moments before the arrival of the No. 2 head of the military department, the public trial and sentencing meeting had just ended.
In the final result, except for Doihara Kenji and Kawashima Yoshiko who were executed by firing squad, the other dozen prisoners of war like Inaba Shiro were sentenced to 120 years of imprisonment! In other words, if nothing else goes wrong, this
More than a dozen Japanese generals and lieutenants could only spend their entire lives in the labor camp of Dameishan.
The meeting ended, and the onlookers left with satisfaction.
This public trial really fulfilled the wish of the people in the base area to "witness the killing of Japanese invaders". They watched helplessly as Kenji Doihara and Yoshiko Kawashima were shot to death by militiamen holding pistols to the back of their heads. Not to mention how happy they were. These dogs said
You little devils, you deserve to come to China to kill people and set fires, you deserve this!
However, the face of the second-ranking military commander dropped.
"You just killed Doihara and Yoshiko Kawashima?" Chief No. 2 frowned and said, "This is nonsense."
Xu Rui chuckled and said: "Chief, you also saw the behavior of the people just now. This shows that we did the right thing in executing Doihara and Kawashima Yoshiko. This is something that the people like to see, hey."
"I didn't say it was wrong for you to kill Doihara and Yoshiko Kawashima." The No. 2 leader said with a face, "I mean, why did you kill them without waiting for me to arrive? Is it difficult to wait a few minutes to execute war criminals?
The masses like to hear and see the execution of the Japanese, so why don’t I, Xiang, like to see it? It’s true.”
"Gah?" Xu Rui was immediately stunned.
But Wang Husheng asked in a low voice: "Secretary Xiang, don't you blame us?"
"What do I blame you for?" said the No. 2 leader with his hands behind his back. "I would say you did the right thing and killed well. These little bastards came to China to kill, set fire, and plunder. They should be arrested.
Get up and shoot them, oh no, shooting them is a light sentence, according to my opinion, they should be Ling Chi!"
Wang Husheng added: "But the National Government sent an official letter saying..."
"Don't worry about the National Government." The No. 2 leader waved his hand and said domineeringly, "As I said, we are pursuing an independent anti-war policy. Kenji Doihara and Yoshiko Kawashima were captured by us from the battlefield. They were captured by the National Government.
Don’t worry about it, if they want to have some kind of public trial, they can go to the battlefield and arrest them themselves.”
When Wang Husheng heard this, he immediately became calm and said, "I completely agree with Secretary Xiang's opinion."
The No. 2 leader looked around and said, "Why, are you planning to invite me to drink the northwest wind here?"
Wang Husheng immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said repeatedly: "How can this be possible? How can this be possible? I just asked the cooking team to kill a pig this morning. Secretary Xiang, the pig head and meat are enough!"
"Xiao Wang, it's better for you, remember I like to eat pig head meat." The No. 2 leader said as he followed Xu Rui and Wang Husheng to the military division headquarters, "You don't know, the conditions in southern Anhui are really difficult.
, I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I’ve eaten pork head meat, and I’m totally addicted today.”
Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "Chief, on the day you leave, ask your guard platoon to bring five hundred kilograms of bacon! This will be our military division's annual gift to honor the head of the military department."
"This is what you said, Xiao Xu." The No. 2 leader said, "Five hundred kilograms of bacon, not even a kilogram less."
"It's quite a lot, a pound is a lot!" Xu Rui said decisively, "Even if I eat rice bran myself, I will never lose the weight of the leader."
"Xiao Xu, don't do this with me," said the No. 2 leader, "Are you trying to silence me with words, because you're afraid I'll reach out?"
"How can you not, Chief, you are unjustly accusing me." Xu Rui said, "As you know, our military subdivision has a large population, and life is actually not that easy, hehehehe."
"Don't do this to me. You just made a fortune! Are you eating chaffy vegetables to trick ghosts?" As he spoke, the group had arrived at the headquarters. After entering the office, several guards came
He immediately guarded the gate to prevent anyone else from disturbing the conversation between the military chief and Xu Rui and Wang Husheng.
The No. 2 leader sat down and asked carelessly: "Tell me, what happened to that batch of gold?"
"Gold? What gold?" Xu Rui looked confused and turned to Wang Husheng, "Old Wang, do you know?"
Wang Husheng secretly sighed that Xu Rui's acting was really good. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. What gold?"
"Pretend, keep pretending. The Nationalist Government has already sent the complaint to Yan'an. This is the telegram just sent." The No. 2 leader took out a telegram from his pocket and slapped it on the table, and continued, "The Nationalist Government said
, you used this operation to salvage one million taels of gold from Yangcheng Lake that originally belonged to the National Government, is there such a thing?"
"What a joke!" Xu Rui jumped to his feet and scolded, "The Kuomintang reactionaries don't have any good guys. They just spread rumors and gave back one million taels of gold. Why didn't they say that I smuggled one billion US dollars from Shanghai that originally belonged to the National Government?
?With this billion US dollars, all their military expenditures will be covered."
"Don't change the subject, what's a billion dollars?" said the No. 2 leader, "This million gold is real. It was originally escorted out of Shanghai by the security battalion directly under the Tax Police Corps of the Bank of Eight Nations. However, it was ambushed by the Japanese army on the way.
All members of the security battalion directly under the Tax Police Corps were killed in the battle, and this batch of gold disappeared into the sea."
Xu Rui said: "Is this over? The entire security battalion of the Tax Police Corps was wiped out, and the gold was also missing!"
The No. 2 chief said: "But people have said that the security battalion directly under the Tax Police Corps was not really wiped out, but one person survived. This man is Liang Gang, the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the security battalion."
Xu Rui said coldly: "Then let them find Battalion Commander Liang Gang?"
Chief No. 2 said: "But now Liang Gang is in Dameishan, under your command!"
"In Damei Mountain, under my command?" Xu Rui was stunned for a moment and said, "Chief, are you kidding? I have more than ten battalion commanders, but none of them have the surname Liang."
Wang Husheng also said: "There is a person named Liang over there at the Border District Office, but she is a female college student."
"Don't do this!" The No. 2 leader seemed to be irritated and said, "The People's Government has said that the commander of the security battalion directly under the Tax Police Corps is the captain of the Spike Force, Leng Tiefeng!"
"Leng Tiefeng?" Xu Rui was surprised, "Can't you?"
Wang Husheng also shook his head like a rattle: "This is impossible."
The No. 2 leader said impatiently: "Get me this Leng Tiefeng."
"Yes!" Xu Rui responded, then turned and shouted outside the door, "Leizi? Thunder!"
Lei Xiang hurried in, stood up at attention and said, "Captain, what are your instructions?"
"What's the captain? It's the commander!" Wang Husheng corrected him, and then said, "Go and find Captain Leng."
Lei Xiang agreed and turned around. About five minutes later, Leng Tiefeng walked in dusty. He stood up to attention and then saluted Xu Rui and Wang Husheng. He said: "Report to the commander, report to the political commissar, Dameishan Military Division."
Directly under the Wolf Fang Team, Captain Leng Tiefeng has been ordered to report here, please give instructions!"
Xu Rui returned the military salute and said: "Take a break."
"Yes!" Leng Tiefeng put aside his right leg.
Wang Husheng pointed to the No. 2 chief again and said: "This is the No. 2 chief of the military department."
Leng Tiefeng once again stood upright, saluted first and then said loudly: "Hello, Chief!"
The No. 2 leader casually returned the military salute and asked: "Captain Leng, I have a few questions for you. Where is your ancestral home?"
"Reporting to the leader, I don't know where my ancestral home is, because as long as I can remember, I have been working as a cook in the Fourth Regiment of the Guangdong Army. My old squad leader told me that I was an orphan he picked up from the Route Army." Leng Tie
Feng paused for a moment before saying this, and then added, "But I was picked up by the old squad leader in Chenzhou, so my ancestral home may be Chenzhou, Hunan."
"Orphan? The Fourth Regiment of the Guangdong Army?" The No. 2 leader couldn't help but look back at Xu Wang.
He was born in the Guangdong Army and was an orphan, which rounded out Liang Gang's identity.
Chief No. 2 asked again: "I heard that you know a lot of modern military knowledge. Have you ever attended a military academy?"
"Reporting to the commander, I have never been to a military school. All my military knowledge is learned from the commander." Leng Tiefeng said, "Maybe it is because I have been with the commander for a longer time, I am smarter, and I work harder.
So I learned more knowledge, at least enough to teach the students in the youth training camp."
Well, I learned all military knowledge from Xu Rui, which closed the last loophole.
Chief No. 2 asked again: "Captain Leng, let's get straight to the point. Are you really not Liang Gang, Battalion Commander Liang of the Tax Police Corps?"
"Commander Liang Gangliang of the Tax Police Corps?" Leng Tiefeng said in surprise, "Chief, why do you ask that? Do I look very much like Battalion Liang?"
Commander No. 2 stared into Leng Tiefeng's eyes and asked again: "Are you really not Battalion Commander Liang?"
Leng Tiefeng stood up sharply and said: "Reporting to the chief, my name is Leng Tiefeng, cold cold, iron of steel, sharp edge of blade, Leng Tiefeng, not Liang Gang! Complete answer!"
"Okay, I got it, go back first." The No. 2 leader let out a long sigh of relief.
Xu Rui waved his hand again, and Leng Tiefeng turned around and walked away, but Wang Husheng clearly saw that the moment before Leng Tiefeng turned around and left, Xu Rui gave him a thumbs up in a very subtle way.
After Leng Tiefeng left, Chief No. 2 said: "It seems that Captain Leng is really not Liang Gang."
"That's for sure." Xu Bu said cheerfully, "How can Leng Tiefeng be Battalion Commander Liang?"
"Okay, then this matter has been investigated clearly, and I will report it to Yan'an truthfully." The No. 2 leader quickly dropped the topic, and Wang Husheng couldn't help but glance at Xu Rui, which really made Lao Xu guess right.
Yes, it seems that the head of the military department is deliberately pretending to be confused and does not want to delve too deeply into this matter.
"Let's get over the gold thing first." The No. 2 leader smiled and said, "Now let's talk about the second thing, about the Meishan branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University."
