The cheers on the entire battlefield lasted for nearly 10 minutes!
However, this is still a battlefield after all, and the joy of victory must be returned to the station. The soldiers finally calmed down from the excitement and began to return to their respective groups.
However, the regiments and battalion commanders who had calmed down long ago had begun to issue orders one after another through the signal corps generals in an orderly manner.
According to the instructions from Brigadier Cheng of the 683rd Brigade Headquarters, all the battlefields in Beiganling were handed over to the 771st Regiment and the third battalion of the 772nd Regiment for cleaning. The 769th Regiment was severely damaged, and the entire regiment lost all its baggage during the march.
, so the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 772nd Regiment escorted them back to the 683rd Brigade station for repairs.
Since there were still unfinished tasks in Lucheng, the main force of the Fourth Army Regiment continued to march toward Lucheng. After the third battalion of the 772th Regiment finished cleaning the battlefield, they stayed in the Beiganling area to wait for the main force of the Fourth Army Regiment to return from Lucheng.
Brigadier Cheng's meaning is very clear. The war is now over. The Japanese troops in Lucheng have withdrawn. They should not leave much supplies for China. Lucheng is basically an empty city except for its own people, but the Chinese army must
Entering the city has more political significance than military significance. The battle report sent to the war zone will include the victory of recovering two counties!
The reason why the Four Lines Regiment has to work is naturally because the Four Lines Regiment only has two infantry battalions, but because it also has artillery, cavalry and other auxiliary units, its combat effectiveness is stronger than any infantry regiment here. If it encounters a Japanese counterattack,
They are also the most powerful to compete with them and deliberately left an infantry battalion in the Beiganling area just to be prepared.
Needless to say, those Japanese prisoners were naturally escorted by the 772nd Regiment to the 683rd Brigade station first. Although these guys were forced to sign and fingerprint the surrender document, in order to prevent them from having any unrealistic thoughts, the officer in charge of escorting them was
Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang used the old trick of escorting refugees in ancient times.
Because it is inconvenient to tie the feet while walking on the mountain road, the arms are tied firmly, but this is not enough. There are seven melons on a vine and seven Japanese soldiers on a hemp rope as thick as a thumb. Unless it is seven hearts.
If they have the same thoughts, otherwise it would be impossible to escape. Even if seven people have the same thoughts and want to escape, if seven people run together, the target
The infantry company commander in charge of the escort issued orders to his soldiers in front of the Japanese prisoners. Anyone who tried to escape could be shot immediately without warning!
"Commander Wang, doesn't your army's propaganda slogan always give preferential treatment to prisoners?" Li Jijin couldn't help but be curious as he looked at the team of Japanese prisoners tied up like a string of rice dumplings.
Of course what he was curious about was not what happened to the Japanese, but that he had fought with this army before.
"First of all, I am Deputy Commander Wang. Comrade Li, please don't yell nonsense!" Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang was a proud type at the moment, but he was not too distracted. He squinted and corrected Li Jiujin's title, and then explained in an extremely serious manner.
.
"Besides, I didn't beat them or scold them, and I did it to prevent them from having some illusions and avoid making some irreparable mistakes. If this is not preferential treatment, then what's the law?"
Some of these words are unfounded. Deputy Commander Wang asked Second Lieutenant Kuroki Komatsu, who was not far away and was the leader of the Japanese surrender but was still tied into a big rice dumpling: "Little squirrel, tell yourself, is this true?"
"
"Hi, Wang Jun, we all understand what you mean. Thank you for your care!" Kuroki Kosong clasped his hands behind his back and nodded with a grimace.
Li Jiujin.
Some people want to refute it! But what this person said seems to make sense, especially when he explains with a righteous face.
Besides, these little devils all seem to be willing to do it.
However, Li Jijin always made a fuss in front of Tang Dao. How could he be intimidated by a deputy commander of an allied army? He blinked and said: "Deputy commander Wang, do you know if it were replaced by
How will our group cope with these little devils?"
"You Tang Tuan leader? That's a ruthless man!" When he mentioned Tang Dao, the somewhat arrogant Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but grin. "If it doesn't go well, he will have all the legs of these guys broken off.
Just one piece!"
"Ouch! No wonder our group said that in addition to the head of Brigade Commander Cheng, Deputy Commander Wang of your 683 brigade, you can become his best friend." Li Jijin was 'surprised' and gave a thumbs up.
This is indeed the style of the Tang Tuanzuo. They solve everything from the root, just worry about them running away and interrupting the legs that can run. Anyway, the Si Xing Tuan has no shortage of carriages, and it is no problem to drag one or two hundred people.
As for what to do if you can’t put off that much, you have to think about it yourself!
Kuroki Komatsu, who eavesdropped on the chat between the two Chinese officers with his ears raised, shuddered all over. This guy must be a devil! Suddenly, he felt that the rope behind his back became cute.
After being praised by Li Jiujin and hearing that he was so recognized by Tang Dao, the arrogant Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang smiled with a gentle smile and shook veteran Youzi's hand hard: "Tell you Tang Tuanzuo for me, please
Don’t worry, I will personally lead the third battalion of my regiment to stay behind you. If there is a Japanese army coming, just withdraw towards my position!"
"That's really troublesome for you, Deputy Commander Wang!" Li Jijin couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
A deputy commander, and a senior officer with a higher rank, such as Chief Tang, who had personally said that he would definitely become a regiment commander, brigade commander or even a higher rank, for the sake of the safety of the Four Elements Regiment, actually waited for you in the mountains and outdoors. This is a veteran.
It was something that I couldn't even think about in the original army.
It has always been the case over there, brothers, hold on first, and I will come to support you when I call for reinforcements.
The endorphins generated by the emotion were still rippling in the nerve endings. I saw an indescribable smile on Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang's face. He could be called shy or vulgar and said: "Of course, if we can inform you in advance,
It's best for me to be prepared. However, you members of the group should know that our group only has a field radio station and will go with the main force of the group."
Li Jiujin.
I am still superficial after all!
"You, Li Jiujin, are really too superficial. He, Lao Wang, is the one who has been arguing with you for a long time just because of a radio station!" Tang Dao, who had already mounted his horse and was about to lead his troops forward, smiled slightly after hearing Li Jiujin's report.
, firmly attach the superficial label to veteran Youzi.
"What else does he want?" Li Jijin heard something in Tang Dao's words.
"Hehe, even if you look at it, you may say that the Japanese have been scared away. Lucheng is an empty city, but my army of nearly 10,000 people is six kilometers away. Time is running out. Do you think it is more important for the Japanese to escape for their lives or for supplies?" Tang Dao chuckled.
.
"Of course your life is important. What do you mean, sir?" Li Jijin came to his senses.
"That is the headquarters of the 108th Division. In addition to the combat troops, there are also various auxiliary arms. With the military order to retreat, those technical soldiers who usually do not participate in combat can still calmly burn the materials that cannot be transported. It is inevitable
Still leaving them there. What's more, Lucheng is richer than Licheng, and there are many traitors who have taken refuge with the Japanese. Can the Japanese take them with them when they run away? Even if they take part of it, the money and food at home will still be lost.
But they can't be taken away." Tang Dao said with a smile. "That one! But he is a thief than many people here. He knows that if our troops capture a lot, we will never treat our friendly troops poorly, especially considering that he is the leader of a regiment.
All the officials eagerly guarded the honor of the wilderness."
"Fuck!" Li Jijin's heart felt like ten thousand bison stampeding through him.
He underestimated that arrogant deputy captain!
Good guy, I dare to have a deputy leader of the lover's family guard here, and he plans to share half of it when we meet! Compared with these, a field radio station is nothing!
However, Tang Dao and Wang Xiaoqiang, who was guarding the field battlefield with the dignity of a regiment leader, really thought about it.
Lucheng is really a golden nest!
Just the few hundred people under Xiong Yuan and the more than 200 people in the Imperial Alliance Army brigade that took half a month to build up, really can't get away with much.
As soon as the cavalry company of sixty cavalry who entered the city first entered the city, they followed Tang Dao's military orders and used thunderous means to kill more than a dozen local ruffians who were looting and trying to resist in the city, and quickly stabilized the situation in the city.
Moreover, they immediately used the special contact means provided by the 683 Brigade to contact the underground intelligence personnel in the city, and located the garrison points of various Japanese military units in the city and the residences of several traitors who had firmly surrendered to the Japanese army and participated in the persecution of the people in the city.
Without exception, the traitors who took the initiative to surrender to the Japanese invaders and were accepted by the Japanese invaders were either the captain of the security team or the numerous rich men in the city. In order to save their lives and wealth, they not only chose to offer their knees to the Japanese invaders, but also immediately transformed into
As a pawn, he carried out brutal persecution against the people in the city who had disobeyed him.
As the headquarters of the 108th Division, Xia Xiong Yuan also hoped that the risk factor of the city where he was located would be minimized. Therefore, he allowed these newly recruited minions to persecute the so-called dangerous elements with a completely laissez-faire attitude.
In less than 20 days after the Japanese army occupied Lucheng, nearly a hundred residents and businessmen were massacred on trumped-up charges. Even three underground intelligence agents developed by the 683 Brigade died in the line of duty.
The three famous tyrants of Lucheng in the city were the first to bear the brunt of all this.
One of them is the captain of the newly established Lucheng Imperial Army Brigade, one is the largest grain merchant in Lucheng, and the other is the owner of the brothel of the largest casino in Lucheng.
The officers and soldiers of the Si Xing Regiment who entered the city, whether they were cavalry or special forces, were basically from poor backgrounds. They already hated these profiteers who had been preying on the poor all year round and drank their blood. When I heard that they had done such evil deeds, where could they?
Still able to bear it?
Heizi immediately made a decision. In addition to obeying Tang Dao's military order and sending three reconnaissance groups of 9 people to Changzhi, carrying a field radio, the remaining 55 cavalry and 12 special forces entered the city, leaving 15 cavalry and 4 special forces at the east gate.
On alert, the remaining 58 people were divided into eight groups to search and protect the valuable Japanese aggressors' residences in the city, and ransacked the homes of three traitors to pursue the murderers.
This can be a big surprise.
Needless to say, the three big traitors knew that their crimes were extremely heinous. If they stayed in the city, the Chinese soldiers would definitely attack them once they entered the city. Naturally, they would have to drag their entire family with them to escape with the Japanese.
Xia Xiong Yuan knew that his departure from Lucheng was only temporary. If he came back in the future, he would have to rely on these shameless people who had forgotten their ancestors to monitor the Chinese people. Moreover, if he wanted to kick them away at this time, he would also let the lackeys from Changzhi
They were heartbroken, so naturally we took them with us.
But as Tang Dao said, if a monk can run away, he cannot run away from the temple, and if a person runs away, his family wealth cannot grow legs.
And everyone has a sense of luck. What if the Chinese are not so bold to march to Lucheng? Therefore, almost no one is determined to burn their wealth.
The three big traitors only left some lowly servants and a locked door. How could they stop the angry and armed soldiers?
Needless to say, the grain merchant built a large granary in his backyard for safety. The entire granary covered an area of one acre and was built from five meters underground to nearly four meters high. According to the grain store where he was caught
The steward said that this granary can store millions of catties. If the granary is opened to store grain, it can feed the entire population of Lucheng for three months.
Therefore, when the steward of the grain bank opened the granary tremblingly, a group of soldiers headed by Shen Laoliu were completely stunned.
That is really a hill made of grain!
People in Jin Province love to eat pasta. In this super granary, you can find 20,000 bags of ground flour alone. Calculated at 20 kilograms per bag, it is 400,000 kilograms; plus 100,000 kilograms of wheat that has not yet been ground.
, 200,000 jins of corn, 50,000 jins of rice, and 750,000 jins of various grains in the entire granary.
Moreover, this was after the big traitor donated 100,000 jins of rice and 50,000 jins of corn to the Japanese army, otherwise there would have been 900,000 jins of grain.
"This is a very good thing. If I had so much food and wanted to keep it, I would probably have to become a traitor!" The stunned Shen Laoliu couldn't help but lick his lips and said something from his heart.
This is actually very real human nature!
In this world, not everyone has lofty ideals and beliefs. More people belong to the general public. They are born and raised in the world. How can they transcend the world?
Especially for farmers like Shen Laoliu, who have been hungry since they were sensible, the food that can feed the whole family is their ideal and belief.
"Women are not loyal, but they are not tempted enough. Men are not loyal, but the stakes for betrayal are too low." This sentence from the future can completely explain the heart of Shen Laoliu, an ordinary soldier at this moment.
Of course, being able to say this calmly means that Shen Laoliu, who has experienced countless battlefields at this time, will not become such a person.
Now, he is no longer the farmer who only wore military uniforms for military pay. Tang Dao, who leads them forward, is letting these ordinary soldiers understand what a soldier is, a real soldier.
It was like a pie falling from the sky that made Shen Laoliu and the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment dizzy, but they soon woke up. While arranging people to report to Heizi, they used this big traitor's fortress-like home as a defensive position.
.
In Shen Laoliu's later words: "Te Liang, ever since I saw this grain mountain, I have decided that as long as it is not our group of four groups, let alone the Japanese, it is the king of heaven who comes. How many people are there in me?"
No one can take away a grain of food before death."
Shen Laoliu was indeed very clever. In order to fulfill his promise, he not only built a small defensive position, but also put enough oil and firewood on the bottom of the granary. If the Japanese really wanted to come back, a fire would be enough to kill them.
This big granary was burned clean.
That's two hundred kilograms of soybean oil spilled! Later, when Zhuangda's chief of staff found out this, he pointed at Gu Xishui and cursed him for a long time. The main idea was that he had brought a bunch of 'prodigal' soldiers.
It doesn't matter if you don't save ammunition on the battlefield, and it doesn't matter if you capture it.
You know, when it comes to saving food, the chief of staff of his regiment doesn't even see a drop of oil in his bowl.
However, Tang Dao felt that Shen Laoliu did a good job. Although it was a bit wasteful, he was very thoughtful.
It was still a battlefield at this time, and no one knew whether the Japanese army would be stubborn. There were still more than a thousand people in Changzhi City, and it was nothing new to come back with an order.
Materials, no matter how abundant or good they are, can only be considered yours if they are captured.
But in the case of Shen Laoliu, a veteran who once fully felt that he was "superficial" gave him the exact words: Your child has never seen the world! Calm down, calm down, do you understand?
Shen Laoliu was as puzzled as pie and answered willingly: I am superficial!
In fact, taking into account the capture of the three major traitors and the various Japanese military bases when the Four Troops entered Lucheng this time, the 750,000 kilograms of grain in this large grain mountain can only be ranked among the top three.
Shanxi Province looked barren with many mountains and few rivers, but under the painstaking management of Shanxi Old Man, a master of economics, it took twenty years to become one of the top five provinces in China's economy at that time.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about depositing silver. In the 24th year of the Republic of China, statistics were compiled and the current silver reserves in Shanxi Province exceeded 80 million taels. This is not talking about silver, but white silver.
If we average the 104 counties under the jurisdiction of Jin Province, each county can have an average of 800,000 taels of silver.
Of course, all this cash was in the hands of some wealthy households and had nothing to do with the vast number of poor people, but this can also explain the prosperity of commerce in Jin Province at that time.
The old man from Shanxi was a regimental leader when it came to fighting, but he was definitely a master when it came to farming and doing business.
And Lucheng is the second largest city in Shangdang area!
The big traitor known as one of the Three Hegemons has controlled the most lucrative sideline business in this big city for ten years!
Everyone has heard of banks and bank accounts, but have you ever heard of the word "silver cellar"?
I have never heard of it, but today Lu Zhongda and six soldiers saw it with their own eyes.
