Su Yuan followed Yuan Zhen's fourth battalion, the vanguard of the entire regiment, to advance towards the puppet army. As a commander, he must be at the forefront to grasp the various enemy situations on the battlefield and any changes that may occur at any time, so as to make timely decisions.
Make deployments.
This operation must be cautious. According to the previous deployment, Su Yuan wanted to completely repel the puppet troops, and then concentrate his forces with the Eighth Route Army in the base area to jointly deal with the invading two groups of Japanese. Although this move could also achieve victory in the counter-mopping up, it
That would inevitably lead to a fierce battle with the Japanese who were prepared. Moreover, it would be a bit dangerous. Once he was entangled by the puppet troops and the Japanese quickly came to reinforce him, Su Yuan did not want to engage in such a battle.
Now Yuan Zhen proposed that if he could borrow a path from the puppet army, he could directly attack the Japanese and at the same time cooperate with the Eighth Route Army. As long as he quickly annihilated the Japanese all the way, he would have taken the initiative in the entire counter-mopping campaign.
The troops were marching under the cover of night, and Su Yuan was also thinking about various possible problems. At this time, the leading soldiers exploring the road came to report that puppet troops were found ahead.
Yuan Zhen inquired carefully and reported to Su Yuan: "Regiment seat, there is a puppet army regiment in front, and I know their regiment leader. In this way, you can lead the troops here, and I will go meet him."
"Captain Yuan, I have considered what you said." Su Yuan replied: "I believe that these puppet troops are indeed looking for a way out for themselves, but these guys are following the wind and are short-sighted. Otherwise, they
They should mutiny and revolt. When the Japanese came, they surrendered to the Japanese, but now they see that the situation is not good and they want to establish contact with the national army. We must deal with it carefully."
"We are just borrowing a road, and they generally do not fight with our national army." Yuan Zhenze said.
"Yes, that's normal." Su Yuan explained: "Today's situation is special. If they let us go, how will they explain to the Japanese? After all, the Japanese still have the momentum, these guys will not think of this."
"Then what should we do?" Yuan Zhen understood somewhat, and he immediately said: "Otherwise we will forcefully pass through and fight."
"It's not that far yet." Su Yuan said: "I don't expect them to sit idly by now. What I need is a safe passage without alerting the Japanese. As long as we get to grips with the Japanese, the next situation will be easy to control."
"Master, it's me who talks too much." Yuan Zhen also had concerns at this time. He considered that even if he passed, it would be difficult for the puppet troops to attack from behind. He had just surrendered, so there was no guarantee that others would not suspect that it was his.
Conspiracy, although Su Yuan believed in him, he was afraid of not being able to explain clearly to others, so he finally suggested: "Let's follow your previous deployment, let's fight against the puppet army, and my battalion will take the lead, I promise...
…”
"No, I have already discussed it with the commander of the Eighth Route Army. As long as we fight against the Japanese, they will quickly pounce on us to cut off the connection between the puppet army and the Japanese and work with us to eliminate the Japanese. This plan cannot be changed."
"Then..." Yuan Zhen sincerely admired Su Yuan's belief in him, and he actually trusted the Eighth Route Army so much. This put the entire regiment in danger. Once the Eighth Route Army did not cooperate, he could not imagine it. Moreover, such a deployment seemed to be responsible.
The pressure was on him, and he felt a little unbearable.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you to meet the group leader." Su Yuan decided.
This shocked Yuan Zhen, but after hearing Su Yuan's firm tone, he knew that he could not stop him, so he decided to bring more capable men with him just in case.
"No, it's just the two of us." Su Yuan said, "Once the agreement is reached, Chen Xing will lead the troops to pass quickly."
"But this is too risky!" Yuan Zhen was in a state of confusion.
Su Yuan made some preparations, and at the same time ordered Chen Xing to lead the team, and then he and Yuan Zhen walked forward together.
Blocking Su Yuan's path was the Royal Association Army's security regiment. Its leader, Gong Changlin, was just as Su Yuan had judged, a guy who acted according to the prevailing circumstances. At this time, he followed the Japanese and became a traitor, but he also saw the current situation.
Although the Japs still had considerable strength at the moment, he also saw that the Japanese army was already showing a downward trend. Although he did not know the international war situation due to the Japs' concealment, he saw the changes in the Japs around him.
The Japanese army has not received replenishment of troops, weapons and ammunition for a long time. Even if some new recruits are added, they are all young boys aged 16 or 17, while those veterans who should have retired are still in the army and have not returned to the country, and there are fewer and fewer of them.
Even the Japs' clothes were not changed, and the Japs' clothes hanging around him were a bit shabby. It seemed that the Japanese army was deteriorating. For this reason, he started his own plan and began to have secret contacts with the National Army.
However, he also knew that at this time, the Japanese army could still gather heavy troops to fight south and win, so he was still a little confused, so he still acted as the commander of his puppet army and followed the Japanese.
And this time it was a raid on the Eighth Route Army's base area. He was not polite to the Eighth Route Army. Firstly, he and the Eighth Route Army were sworn enemies, and he had been defeated miserably at the hands of the Eighth Route Army many times. Secondly, he also knew about the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. This time the Kuomintang army
Didn't he also invade the Eighth Route Army base area with the Japanese army? He also wanted to use this to gain some achievements for himself in the national army, so he worked very hard this time.
At this time, his troops had penetrated deep into the base area, and he became a little cautious. The opponent was the elusive Eighth Route Army, and they could not move casually at night, so he ordered the troops to station and sent out warnings at the same time.
At this moment, his subordinates came to report that Battalion Commander Yuan of the National Army Guard Brigade had arrived. This news made him feel happy. It seemed that the National Army had also taken action and was nearby.
"Please." Gong Changlin ordered immediately.
Soon, two neatly dressed national army officers followed the guards and walked in. Gong Changlin knew Yuan Zhen and didn't pay attention at first when he saw Su Yuan with the rank of lieutenant next to him.
"Brother Yuan," Gong Changlin said fawningly: "It seems that your actions are not slow either."
"Both each other." Yuan Zhenying replied.
"Who is this..." Gong Changlin asked, looking at Su Yuan beside him.
"This is my first company commander." Yuan Zhen replied according to Su Yuan's previous instructions.
"Nice to meet you," Gong Changlin said, but when he saw Su Yuan's face carefully, he couldn't help but feel shocked. There was a kind of intimidation in the other's eyes. When his own eyes touched his, he didn't dare to look at him.
And when he looked at Yuan Zhen again, they were together. Yuan Zhen was also a dignified battalion commander of the national army, but in front of this man he was like his follower.
"This person is unusual. He cannot be the company commander under Yuan Zhen." Gong Changlin was moved in his heart, but he did not expect that this was Yuan Zhen's current commander, because he looked too young and might be someone sent by the national army.
Thinking of this, he became even more enthusiastic, "I wonder if Yuan Yingdao has come here to give you any advice? Just tell me if you have anything to say, brother, I have long wanted to follow you."
"Okay." Yuan Zhen said immediately after hearing this: "I want to borrow a way from Commander Gong."
"Borrowing a way?" Gong Changlin was a little confused.
"Yes, I want to pass through you." Yuan Zhen replied.
"This is not easy." Gong Changlin agreed without thinking, but as soon as he said the words, he immediately felt strange that there were Japanese troops over there. So he said politely: "Aren't you also here to fight against the Eighth Route Army?
There are Japanese troops on the other side from me."
"You don't have to worry about it." Yuan Zhen said immediately.
"You are the only one in the battalion?" Gong Changlin said in a somewhat evasive manner: "I know brother, you want to fight the Japanese, but do Brigadier Li and Commander Wang know?"
"Our group is the only one who has arrived, so the host will know about it," Yuan Zhen replied.
"But no matter which way you look at this action, it is very strange." Gong Changlin said: "Firstly, it is not your offensive line. Secondly, it is clearly an attempt to deal with the Japanese. Does Commander Wang know?"
"Yes, we just want to fight the Japanese." Yuan Zhen couldn't hide it and replied: "And we are indeed a group, you can see this."
"This..." Gong Changlin hesitated a little. Once he let them pass, would the Japanese let him go? Even if he shied away, what would he do if there was a real fight? Should he join the war? He would not dare to let him and the Japanese fall out at this time.
.
"Hey, is Brother Yuan involved with the Eighth Route Army?" Gong Changlin, a cunning old man, wanted to use this as an excuse to evade.
"You should know that I will not join the Eighth Route Army." Yuan Zhen said immediately: "We are a team of the national army."
"Then please ask Commander Wang to come and borrow the passage in person." Gong Changlin said immediately.
Seeing the two people arguing, Su Yuan stepped forward and said, "Captain Gong really doesn't want to give way?"
Seeing Su Yuan's awe-inspiring expression, Gong Changlin couldn't help but feel frightened. Just now, in order to hide himself, he had already sent the people out of the room, and now he couldn't help shouting: "Here comes someone!"
However, he didn't expect that the other party acted very swiftly. Before he could finish his words, Su Yuan stepped forward and grabbed his collar with his left hand. At the same time, he drew a gun and put it on his forehead with his right hand.
"Let them get out." Su Yuan shouted.
"Yes, you go out." Gong Changlin shouted to the guards who broke in.
"Keep your troops where they are and let my troops pass by." Su Yuan shouted.
"This can't be done!" Gong Changlin did not dare to agree because of the consequences. At the same time, he mustered up the courage to reply: "If you have the ability, shoot, and you won't be able to escape."
"Hmph, listen, as soon as I fire, my regiment will attack you, and we can finish you off in less than half an hour." Su Yuan shouted: "Do you want to give it a try?"
"Your regiment, who are you?" Gong Changlin asked in surprise.
"This is the anti-Japanese hero Su Yuansu of the Fifth Theater Zone." Yuan Zhen said immediately.
As soon as he heard this name, the last line of defense in Gong Changlin's heart immediately collapsed. This person couldn't afford to offend him, and it was not a lie to kill him with his ability. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll give way."
"You know what's going on!" Su Yuan immediately said to Yuan Zhen: "Inform the troops to pass quickly."
"Yes." Yuan Zhen took the order and went.
"Captain Gong, please give us a ride." Su Yuan put his gun to Gong Changlin's head and shouted.
"This is my brother's honor." Gong Changlin responded.
In front of their eyes, Su Yuan's entire regiment passed quickly. Seeing the well-armed and well-trained troops in front of them, Gong Changlin felt very frightened. Fortunately, they didn't come to deal with him. As for the future, he would just take it step by step.
Seeing the troops passing through quickly, Zhang Hao, who was responding behind, led his men to wait for Su Yuan. Su Yuan then let go of Gong Changlin and led the troops to continue approaching. At this time, Gong Changlin did not wake up until the figure disappeared. What should he do?
What to do? After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to chase after him, but he also had lingering fears, so he ordered the troops to fire violently and randomly. This way, he could resist, and he would be able to explain to his master in the future. As for the pursuit, he still had to do enough.
, but his cautious pursuit still brought him disaster...
