This sentence kept echoing in the company commander's mind.
Seeing that the company commander didn't speak, Huang Sheng became anxious and continued to persuade.
"Old Zhang, do you still want to go back and work for the Japs? One day, you will be used as cannon fodder by the Japs like today, and you will be labeled a traitor when you die!"
"If you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about the dozens of brothers under your command. We have had enough brothers killed today. Although many brothers were killed by the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside, if there were no Japanese governor
Even if the team forces you to attack, they will not die."
"So their death will ultimately be blamed on the little devil."
"Today the Eighth Route Army was extremely benevolent and righteous, but the next time we encounter the Eighth Route Army, they will not be so benevolent and righteous, and our brothers will not be so lucky!"
"Also, the heavy machine guns and mortars that the Japanese brought into the mountains all fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army."
"Now the Eighth Route Army has at least four heavy machine guns and five light machine guns pointing at us. Do you think we can successfully withdraw?"
"Surrender, there is no shame. After surrendering to the Eighth Route Army, we will no longer have to bear the label of traitors. We will not be beaten to death and have no shame to go underground to meet our ancestors like we were traitors!"
"The Eighth Route Army only gave everyone five minutes to think about it, and they will shoot after five minutes. Now three minutes have passed, you must make a decision quickly!"
The company commander's face suddenly became extremely serious. He turned around and looked at his subordinates behind him and shouted: "Brothers, I think Captain Huang is right."
"Our lives were given by the Eighth Route Army. If they had not shown mercy, we would be dead by now!"
"Everyone has died once, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"It's too frustrating to continue to be a dog to the little devil, and I'm sorry for my ancestors. Even if I die, I can't hold my head high!"
"So I decided to listen to Company Commander Huang and surrender to the Eighth Route Army!"
"If there are people who don't want to surrender and want to continue working for the Japanese, I won't stop them. The main force of the regiment and the young Japanese are right in front. You can rush over on your own!"
"But I want to remind everyone that the heavy machine guns installed by the Eighth Route Army on the high ground are not vegetarian!"
"We surrender~" A squad leader dropped his rifle without thinking.
Others were more or less grateful to the Eighth Route Army, and they really did not want to work for the Japanese anymore, so they agreed to put down their weapons.
"It's done, captain, the puppet troops at the foot of the mountain have surrendered!" Chen Bing, who had been staring at the foot of the mountain, shouted excitedly.
Li Hao was also very excited, but he did not forget about it.
The main force of the Japanese and puppet troops has not gone far yet, and they may come over at any time to launch a counterattack against the guerrillas.
The more he did now, the more he had to stay calm, suppressing his inner excitement and commanding.
"Yang Ping, take your men and go down immediately. Let Captain Huang cooperate with you to clean the battlefield and send all the surrendered prisoners back to the secret camp and hand them over to the instructors."
"After this is over, you just stay in the secret camp and cooperate with the instructor to guard the prisoners. You will not participate in the next battle."
Yang Ping was reluctant and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But before the words came out, Li Hao glared back: "Execute the order, don't bargain!"
"Yes, captain!" Yang Ping could only answer with his head lowered.
Li Hao continued to order: "Zhao Wen, send someone to the mountainside immediately to call the deputy captain and troops over. Hurry."
"Company Commander Huang assisted the second platoon in cleaning up the battlefield and asked him to come over to see me. I have important matters to discuss with him."
"The other soldiers rest where they are, eat some solid food, and replenish their strength. This battle is not over yet!"
Surrender is more like a relief for the surviving puppet troops.
Therefore, Yang Ping cleaned the battlefield very smoothly without any trouble.
After receiving the order, Huang Sheng almost didn't stop at the foot of the mountain before looking for him. When he saw Li Hao, he saluted and reported.
"Hello, sir, I don't know what you want to see me for, sir?"
Li Hao waved his hand and replied: "I'm not a commander, and our Eighth Route Army doesn't like to be called that. You can just call me Captain Li!"
"Hello, Captain Li!" Huang Sheng quickly called out.
Li Hao nodded and said: "Captain Huang can fight on the battlefield anyway, and he has contributed a lot to helping us kill the little Japs here. Just now, he helped us persuade nearly a company of puppet troops to surrender, which is another great contribution. Here I will first talk about Captain Huang and
Your soldiers say thank you!"
"You are the real heroes, anti-Japanese soldiers!"
After speaking, Li Hao gave Huang Sheng a standard military salute.
Huang Sheng quickly replied: "Captain Li, you are so grateful. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of your Eighth Route Army, I wouldn't have the guts to lead my brothers anyway. We can succeed anyway, and we have to thank you!"
He is not arrogant, neither arrogant nor extravagant, and he has quite a lot of combat experience. He has prestige among his subordinates, and he must be good at leading troops. He is a talented person!
Li Hao secretly thought in his heart, and at the same time he also had the idea of leaving him in the guerrillas and using him for his own purposes.
Then he replied: "No need to thank you, this is what our Eighth Route Army should do!"
At this point, Li Hao changed the topic and continued: "Since Captain Huang has led the troops anyway, then we are our own people, and I won't be polite if we are our own people!"
"Tell the truth to Captain Huang, I have a problem that I need your help with now!"
Anyway, it sounds nice to say that I am on the battlefield, but only I know the pain in my heart.
Now the outside of the mountains is the territory of the Japanese. If you rebel against them and kill their people, the Japanese will definitely hate you to the bone.
As long as you go out of the mountain, you will definitely face crazy revenge from the Japanese and puppet troops.
Therefore, at this moment, apart from staying in the mountains and joining the Eighth Route Army, his only option was to leave the army and hide incognito to avoid being pursued by the Japanese and puppet troops.
I will definitely not take the second path.
The first path becomes your only choice.
Since he would join the Eighth Route Army sooner or later, Huang Sheng definitely wanted to have a good relationship with them from the beginning.
But Huang Sheng was also worried that the Eighth Route Army would take the opportunity to consume his troops and annex him.
He had seen this kind of thing too many times in his former army, and had already formed a conditioned reflex.
So he hesitated for a while before answering: "Captain Li, if you have anything to do, just give us your orders. As long as it's about fighting the Japanese, we'll do it without any hesitation!"
When saying this, Huang Sheng also left a backup plan, just in case.
That is to fight against the Japanese. If it is to fight against the Japanese, I will definitely help you.
If it is not to fight the Japanese, even if I want to stay in the Eighth Route Army in the future and need to have a good relationship with them, I'm sorry, but I won't do this favor myself.
Li Hao could see his little thoughts at a glance, but he didn't take it to heart.
The reputation of the Eighth Route Army has not yet been fully spread. Anyone who does not understand the Eighth Route Army will have this idea.
Looking at the other person, he was happy to answer.
"Okay, I just like your cheerfulness, Captain Huang!"
"To be honest, although the Japanese and puppet troops who entered the mountain have withdrawn, I don't want them to leave so easily. I plan to continue to attack them until they leave the mountain below!"
"But there is a problem. I don't have many troops in hand. I need Captain Huang to spare a platoon of troops to cooperate with us in the battle!"
"Captain Huang can rest assured that you are cooperating in the battle. At most, you will perform some cover, clean the battlefield, and guard the prisoners. We will never let you rush to the front and fight the enemy head-on!"
Huang Sheng obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied: "I'm going to draw troops now, and I will definitely bring the thirty brothers with the best combat effectiveness!"
