After all the soldiers of the 251st Regiment disarmed under the instigation of Dai Yong.
There are quite a few guns that were lost. The 251st Regiment has been going back and forth between the Japanese army and the Chinese army in recent years, and its development is really good. Basically, the entire regiment has a rifle.
How many guns are there in front of you? That’s more than two thousand rifles.
This is not a small sum.
Taken together, the independent regiment troops brought by Kong Jie and the new second regiment troops brought by Li Yunlong have less than 600 soldiers in front of them.
This means that it is not easy for the Eighth Route Army soldiers to take away more than two thousand rifles.
Each person has to carry three to four guns on his back, plus the guns everyone brought with them, then he has to carry four to five guns.
But don’t forget, there are also equipment and ammunition seized from the Japanese squadron and the 251st Regiment Guard Battalion!
In addition, the seven or eight artillery pieces captured by Zhang Dabiao and the dozen or so heavy machine guns captured by Wang Leihu are not light. You have to take them!
You have to bring the remains of the soldiers who died in the previous battle, right?
In addition, the guns and ammunition stored in the 251st Regiment's station.
If you calculate it carefully, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie will probably have a headache. If the equipment is good, they will make a fortune.
But it would be embarrassing if I couldn’t even take it with me.
Fortunately, the logistics department of the 251st Regiment also has a lot of transportation tools.
There are more than twenty pallet trucks, as well as some bicycles, motorcycles, etc., all of which are used, so this batch of equipment can be transported easily.
Comrades from the enemy's Industry Department lurking in the 251st Regiment secretly assisted, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers quickly obtained various transportation tools from the logistics department of the 251st Regiment and loaded all the equipment and ammunition.
Some of the soldiers stayed where they were, continuing to hold their firearms, always on guard against the soldiers of the 251st Regiment causing chaos, while some of the soldiers went to collect the firearms surrendered by the soldiers of the 251st Regiment.
Looking at the firearms that were being collected by the soldiers, just like cabbage on the roadside, Li Yunlong winked at Kong Jie and said: "Old Kong, damn, we are rich!"
This is the truth. Kong Jie was equally ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.
This time I came to ambush the Japanese squadron and took advantage of the situation to capture the stubborn 251st Regiment. The harvest was quite fruitful, far exceeding the expectations of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.
While the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and seizing equipment, Dai Yong, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong stood side by side at the former guard camp position of the 251st Regiment, looking at the busy Eighth Route Army soldiers below and talking.
Soldiers have always been generous, and within a few words, the three of them changed their names.
The familiarity between Li Yunlong and Kong Jie even made Dai Yong a little uncomfortable.
There was laughter from time to time during the conversation.
Kong Jie said: "Brother Dai, as you said, when you came to the 251st Regiment this time, you fell into the trap of the Japanese and Lu Duoxian."
Dai Yong nodded and said: "Yes, if Brother Kong and Brother Yunlong hadn't arrived in time, Dai might have died in the battle at this moment."
Kong Jie said: "The 251st Regiment is located behind enemy lines. The changes here cannot be concealed for long. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Brother Dai, what are you going to do next?"
Dai Yong said: "The culprit Lu Duoxian has been shot. Although the officers and soldiers of the 251st Regiment also made mistakes, they are not guilty of death. I am going to take them back to southern Shanxi and listen to the arrangements of my superiors."
Kong Jie said: "The soldiers should not be implicated in the fault of the officers."
"It's just that there are too many people, and people's hearts are not unified. Brother Dai, you have limited troops at hand. How can you ensure that all the soldiers of the 251st Regiment are brought back to southern Shanxi?"
Dai Yong nodded, this was indeed a troublesome matter. After thinking about it, he said: "I have also considered this matter. I am going to initially select a group of soldiers with patriotic sentiments from the team, and they will assist me in leading these soldiers."
We return to southern Shanxi."
Having said this, Dai Yong looked at Kong Jie and Li Yunlong:
"Brother Kong, Brother Yunlong, Dai has a cruel request!"
"Brother Dai, please speak!"
"The number of soldiers selected will not be too many. I initially estimate that a hundred people will be enough. This team of one hundred people can ensure that the soldiers will not be in turmoil. Secondly, if they encounter an enemy situation, they can also serve as a rear guard.
.
It’s just that it’s not appropriate if you don’t have any firearms on hand, so I’m wondering if Brother Kong and Brother Yunlong can lend me a hundred guns and some ammunition?”
Dai Yong's words were really polite.
Just a few minutes ago, Li Yunlong patted his chest and said to Dai Yong: "Brother Dai, please rest assured that we, Mr. Li, are only keeping these captured weapons temporarily for your national army. When we find an opportunity in the future, we will return them to you."
."
It’s all right now. I need a hundred guns, and I said so politely—borrow them!
Do you want to borrow it or not?
Dai Yong looked at Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong closed his mouth tightly and said nothing, scolding his mother in his heart.
"Damn it, what do you think I'm going to do? I'll divide the equipment I got this time into 30%. There's an extra bullet hole that even a fool wouldn't be able to use. Do you think I'm being taken advantage of? If you want a gun, ask Kong Er fool to borrow it!"
”
Seeing that Li Yunlong didn't express anything, Dai Yong smiled bitterly and looked at Kong Jie again.
How come a smart guy like Dai Yong can’t understand the equipment in front of him?
The two Eighth Route Army commanders in front of them were obviously interested in the captured equipment.
The 251st Regiment has been in the hands of the Japanese and the National Army for so many years, and has benefited from both sides. The equipment on hand is not bad. Such a large amount of equipment and ammunition will make everyone jealous.
Dai Yong understands this very well. In addition, if the 251st Regiment had rebelled against the enemy this time, if the Eighth Route Army had not arrived in time, he, Dai Yong, would have already pledged his allegiance to the party and state, let alone the equipment in front of him.
In addition, it is the Eighth Route Army that has the initiative at this moment.
Dai Yong also admired the courage displayed by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong in the battle, so he was very polite at the moment.
Kong Jie felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Dai Yong, and secretly thought that he was not as thick-skinned as Lao Li, but on the surface he looked upright:
"Brother Dai is too polite. Logically speaking, although the 251st Regiment rebelled against the enemy and our Eighth Route Army seized the equipment this time, this batch of equipment should belong to your national army, but it is not convenient at the moment. Old Li and I also
I can only keep it for the time being for Brother Dai."
"It's just a hundred guns and ammunition. Brother, please don't worry about this, I'll take care of it."
As he said that, Kong Jie saw Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando team not far away, waved to Ye Min and shouted: "Ye Min."
"Here, leader, look for me!" Ye Min trotted over quickly.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Ye Min is my favorite because he does things safely."
"Ye Min, take the soldiers to pick out a hundred guns from the captured guns. You want the best. Then equip yourself with enough ammunition and prepare it for Brother Dai."
"Hurry up and remember, the gun must be the best and the ammunition must be sufficient."
"Yes!"
Ye Min looked upright and responded solemnly. After saying that, he turned around and went to prepare.
Dai Yong was filled with emotion and quickly thanked him: "Brother Kong, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Dai will remember this favor!"
"Why are you so polite? You and I are both soldiers. We are all here to fight the Japanese and defend our country. That's what we should do." Kong Jie said with a smile.
Li Yunlong on the side did not speak, but looked at Ye Min's retreating back with some suspicion.
This kid Ye Min may have been influenced by Kong Jie, and his temperament is very similar to Kong Jie's, wilting is bad and wilting is bad.
Can he honestly follow Lao Kong's orders, choose a good gun, and have enough ammunition to give it to Dai Yong?
Li Yunlong was thinking, but his thoughts were interrupted by Dai Yong's next words.
"Brother Kong, thanks to the life-saving grace this time, I helped Dai put down the rebellion of the 251st Regiment. Dai has nothing to repay, but he has a list of names. Maybe he can share it with Brother Kong."
"Oh?"
Dai Yong whispered in Kong Jie's ear for a while, then took a step back and said, "I am ashamed to say that in May last year, all members of the Taiyuan group of our army were arrested by the Japanese military police. The Japanese army followed suit and our army almost unified the Shanxi station.
All were uncovered, a total of more than 120 members were arrested, and more than 40 people were executed by the Japanese military police."
"This series of events has resulted in the almost destruction of our military's power in Shanxi, and intelligence activities against the Japanese aggressors have basically been forced to a standstill."
"There are many factions within our national army, and they are not of the same mind. This has led to many things. Although Dai knew it well, he was also powerless."
"Just like the 251st Regiment in front of us, this situation of collusion between the 251st Regiment and the Japanese army is not unique among the many national army troops stranded behind enemy lines."
"The lists I told Brother Kong are among them."
"I think distant water cannot save close fire. On the battlefield behind enemy lines, it is more convenient for your Eighth Route Army to do things. If Brother Kong is interested, I would like to ask Brother Kong to lend a helping hand."
Li Yunlong on the side was immediately stunned.
What?
Is there such a good thing?
It means that there are many teams like the 251st Regiment of the stubborn army in front of me who secretly colluded with the Japanese and are waiting for him to disarm?
But what does Dai Yong mean?
Such important news and such a good opportunity to make a fortune, you only told it quietly to Lao Kong, as if you were afraid that I would hear it. What does this mean?
Could it be possible because of those hundred broken guns?
What a small loss, a big loss!
Lao Li suddenly felt regretful, but he thought in his heart that since Lao Kong knew, he would definitely be indispensable, so he didn't rush to speak.
Kong Jie was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that a hundred guns would bring such important news.
Kong Jie was also a little surprised by Dai Yong's style.
How disappointed do you have to be with the National Army that you want to use the Eighth Route Army to deal with these rebel troops?
Kong Jie even joked: "Brother Dai, it's rare for a national army officer to meet a general like you who sincerely serves the country and the people.
If Brother Dai is interested, how about joining our Eighth Route Army?"
There were only Kong Jie, Dai Yong and Li Yunlong in front of him, but when Kong Jie said these words, Dai Yong was still startled and said quickly: "Brother Kong, this is not a joke. Dai would never dare to join the Eighth Route Army."
Yes, Dai hated traitors the most in his life."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "How can you become a traitor if you join our Eighth Route Army? Our Eighth Route Army is a team that sincerely fights the Japanese for the sake of the common people."
Dai Yong said helplessly: "The politics are different, and our military generation has nothing to do."
"Then why did Brother Dai tell me this information? Kong Jie asked back.
Dai Yong smiled and said: "Dai would never dare to ask me to join the Eighth Route Army. However, if I can use the help of your Eighth Route Army to get rid of some traitors who secretly surrender to the enemy, Dai will be obliged to do so."
Kong Jie said seriously: "If you say so, please rest assured, Brother Dai, I, Kong Jie, will help with this!"
Li Yunlong on the side quickly responded: "That's right, Brother Dai, just leave this matter to me and Lao Kong."
Kong Jie glanced at Li Yunlong.
Lao Li's expression remained unchanged.
Well, Lao Li is really thick-skinned.
……
Not far away... "Captain Ye, with such a good gun, do you really want to pick some good ones and give them back to the 251st Regiment?"
Ye Min scolded: "Stupid, when the regiment commander gave the order, he specifically emphasized that he should choose a good gun and provide enough ammunition. Do you think this was his original intention? Let me tell you, if you really choose a good gun,
Send them over with enough ammunition, and the regimental commander will definitely scold you when you turn around."
"What does the leader mean?"
"Don't you understand this? Just pick a hundred guns and it will work. It's best to pick those that have problems, are inaccurate, or are missing some parts. Of course, it all depends on the general situation.
Just get by, but don’t go too far.
In addition, in terms of ammunition, five bullets for each gun are enough.
When our Eighth Route Army was having a hard time in the War of Resistance, having three or five bullets was considered good."
"Hey, that's what happened. Captain Ye, don't worry, we'll be ready right now."
……
"Reporting to the leader, one hundred rifles and ammunition are all ready. According to your order, they are the best guns selected, and according to the standard equipment of our team, sufficient ammunition is provided."
After completing the task, Ye Min returned to report the situation to Kong Jie.
Kong Jie nodded and looked at Dai Yong with a smile, "Brother Dai, without further ado, the soldiers have almost finished cleaning the battlefield. I think it's time for us to set off."
Dai Yong solemnly saluted Kong Jie and Li Yunlong with a military salute and said: "Brother Kong, Brother Yunlong, I am grateful!"
While the three of them were talking, there was a click not far away.
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were startled for a moment. They looked not far away and saw a young man walking over with a camera.
Kong Jie is very unhappy. My photos have never been leaked. The notices posted by the Japanese offering a reward for me are all roughly drawn. What does this guy mean by taking photos?
Dai Yong smiled and introduced: "Brother Kong, Brother Yunlong, this is reporter Yu from Jinnan Newspaper."
Yu Ming trotted over quickly, shook hands with Li Yunlong and Kong Jie who were a little dazed in a familiar manner, and then said with a smile on his face: "Captain Kong, Commander Li, I have long admired my name, hello!"
Dai Yong said: "Journalist Yu is a reporter with great integrity. After we were trapped in the courtyard, Reporter Yu fought with us. What happened today when the 251st Regiment rebelled against the enemy will probably require Reporter Yu and others to pass through the newspaper office."
Publish it."
Kong Jie nodded, but there was still no smile on his face.
"Reporter Yu, our Eighth Route Army is behind enemy lines, and appearance is an important factor in ensuring safety. I hope the photos you just took will never fall into the hands of the Japanese."
"Otherwise, the next time I enter the county town, the Japanese will post a notice offering a reward for me, and I'm afraid I will have to put a photo of a real person on it."
Yu Ming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Commander Kong was not happy from the beginning.
"Captain Kong, please rest assured that I will keep this photo as a private collection and will never leak it to the public."
Kong Jie then nodded, remembered something, and asked: "I remember that not long ago, the "Anti-Japanese National Daily" published by your Shannan newspaper office mentioned the rebellion of the 251st Regiment."
Yu Mingdao: "That's right. That newsletter was reported by my colleague at the newspaper. I don't know where my colleague got the information. At that time, we all thought it was impossible. This was obviously a heroic anti-Japanese team.
How come you suddenly turned into a traitor?"
"When I go back today, I'm afraid I have to apologize to her face to face. What she said is indeed the truth."
After a pause, Yu Ming seized the opportunity and said: "Our newspaper office is in the rear and has not had much contact with your Eighth Route Army generals. Commander Kong, can I ask you a few questions?"
Kong Jie said: "You ask."
Yu Ming just did what he said. As a reporter, he was very dedicated. He immediately cheered up, took two steps forward with a serious face, made an interviewing gesture, and asked: "Captain Kong,
There have been rumors recently that your Eighth Route Army is passively resisting the war and wandering instead of fighting. What do you think of this?"
As expected of a passionate young man, Yu Ming’s question hit the nail on the head.
"Captain Kong, don't mind, I just asked directly because I had something in mind."
Kong Jie nodded and said: "It doesn't matter. As for the answer to this question, I think you should ask the little devils. They know better who is wandering but not attacking."
"Not long ago, our Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale Battle of Zhengtai. More than tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops were eliminated. It almost paralyzed the entire Japanese army's communication lines in North China. Is this what they call loitering without attacking?"
"A few days ago, our army took the initiative to repel the Japanese and puppet troops, wiped out more than a thousand Japanese soldiers, and rescued the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army who had robbed and retreated from the Japanese-occupied areas. Is this what they call guerrilla but not attack?" p>
"Looking at our Eighth Route Army troops, in the absence of material supplies from the national military government, a very important source of equipment and materials is to fight against the Japanese and seize them from the Japanese and puppet troops.
Including the guns and ammunition used by these soldiers behind me, I can pat my chest and say that basically every gun and every bullet was seized from the hands of the Japanese. This is what they call "you do not attack".
?"
"If you want to impose a crime, there is no reason to hesitate. If you contact a unit like the 251st Regiment of the National Army behind enemy lines, I will probably understand what it means to catch a thief when a thief shouts?"
"Some stubborn troops behind enemy lines do not fight the Japanese, but target our Eighth Route Army everywhere. I don't know if this phenomenon can be seen by the national military government?"
"I don't know how the national military government will explain what happened in southern Anhui more than 20 days ago."
"Whether it's just wandering around without attacking, trying to incriminate someone, or avenging a private vendetta, who knows?"
"Having said all that, I actually hope that you, as journalists, will take on the responsibility of newspaper reporters. The people's eyes have been blinded by the authorities and they cannot see the truth. You are the only one who can make them see the truth clearly."
Yu Ming was shocked when he heard this, and quickly replied: "Captain Kong, don't worry, I will report truthfully what I saw and heard today!"
Kong Jie said: "Okay, I am willing to believe reporter Yu. Do you have anything else to ask?"
Yu Mingdao: "Commander Kong, there are rumors that your Eighth Route Army is behind enemy lines, and most of its supplies are snatched from the hands of ordinary people. How do you explain such rumors of disturbing and bullying the people?"
Kong Jie couldn't help but laugh: "For reporters, seeing is believing and hearing is believing.
If you have the time, you might as well go to a village near our Eighth Route Army base and ask a civilian about the situation. Even if he is a child, I think he will tell you that our Eighth Route Army has iron discipline and does not take the common people for granted.
Stitch by stitch!"
"We in the Eighth Route Army are the people's soldiers. We treat our fellow villagers as we treat our own parents. Will any of you bully your own parents?"
Damn, well said!
Li Yunlong on the side slapped his thigh fiercely and couldn't help but applaud Kong Jie from the bottom of his heart.
Yu Ming was a little stunned by this answer. He subconsciously took two steps back and said seriously: "Captain Kong, I understand."
"Anything else you want to ask?"
Yu Ming shook his head, with a firm look on his face, and said, "No, if I ask any more, I'm just humiliating myself."
"Paper can never cover fire, good and bad, right and wrong, one day the truth will be revealed!"
