At the same time, just as Shangguan Zhibiao was heading towards Dongping County with his mobile troops, the battle in Dongping County was already over.
The Japanese county government building was breached and all the Japs inside were annihilated. Wu Zhiwen's pistol brigade also surrendered.
Wu Zhiwen, the job-hopping king, not only has high emotional intelligence, but also is wise. When he realized that he had no chance of winning and the imperial army was about to defeat him, he immediately waved the white flag and surrendered.
However, his security team originally had more than 700 people, but now only more than 300 people were left. The rest were either killed or ran away.
Zhou Tianyi is taking custody of the surrendered people and collecting their weapons.
Wu Zhiwen and all the officers of the security group, large and small, were escorted to the county government and handed over to the Dragon Boat Festival.
At this time, Duanwu was discussing the scouts with Zhao Weidong.
Part of the Bantian Regiment from Ningyang County has been wiped out, and what they will face next will be the Japanese from Feicheng and Pingyin County.
These two lines of Japanese reinforcements should be approaching Dongping County.
But Duanwu didn't panic, because now the entire Dongping County had fallen into his hands. He held on to the danger and it was difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to invade.
Therefore, as long as Shangguan Zhibiao can arrive in time, the battle will be almost certain.
But even so, Dragon Boat Festival must keep track of the enemy's movements to avoid missing anything.
For example, the number of Japanese reinforcements, firepower, etc.
So Duanwu asked Zhao Weidong to send scouts with radios to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Pingyin County and Feicheng. Once traces of the enemy were discovered, they could use the radios to report at any time.
Soon, the scouts were sent out. And Duanwu asked Zhao Weidong to send people outside the city to bring the horses from the cavalry camp into the city.
Previously, they entered Dongping County through a tunnel, so the horses could not get in at all. They were left with a squad of about thirty people from the cavalry battalion to guard them, and they were all tied up in the woods outside the city.
At this time, the battle has ended. The first reason for the war horses to enter the city is for safety, and the second reason is that the cavalry will be used during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The terrain near Dongping County tends to be flat, and it is also at night. Once the Japanese and puppet troops retreat under the city, he can use the cavalry to charge, which may have a surprise effect.
However, just when Duanwu was thinking about this matter and taking advantage of some free time to smoke a cigarette, Ma Pingan stood behind Duanwu with a smile.
Duanwu felt funny in his heart and thought: This old horse, I thought he just saved someone and just left. But I didn’t expect that he hasn’t left yet. Is he waiting to divide things?
At this time, Duanwu was feeling funny, but he didn't expect Jiang Wanchao to come with four guerrillas wearing Japanese uniforms.
Jiang Wanchao said: "Comrade Duanwu, these are the people who almost ruined your plan. It's up to you to deal with them."
Duanwu felt that this was a cruel trick. Because the four people not only violated his order, but also almost ruined the matter. So Ma Ping'an and Jiang Wanchao brought them here just to give Duanwu an explanation.
But this kind of explanation is usually a formal one. For example, if Ma Ping'an and Jiang Wanchao handed people over to Duanwu, Duanwu would say: Forget it!
Then the incident was over, so as not to affect future cooperation.
It can be said that as a responsible underground party member, Ma Pingan has been committed to getting closer to Duanwu and even wanted to develop Duanwu to become an underground party member.
And if Duanwu's status was not too high and he had nothing to offer, Ma Pingan would have taken action long ago.
I just didn't expect that at this time, Duanwu did not follow common sense and laughed with Ma Ping'an: "Hahaha, I don't know how your underground party handles violations of military orders before the war. But according to the regulations of the Central Army, disobedience before the war
Rectify the law on the spot. Hahaha, this is my suggestion. The army must be run strictly, otherwise the orders will be carried out but not prohibited, so what is the use of military orders?"
Duanwu's words made Ma Ping'an's heart instantly freeze, because Duanwu's words couldn't be more obvious. There is nothing to say about disobeying military orders and enforcing the law on the spot.
And let alone the Dragon Boat Festival troops, even for the Eighth Route Army, disobeying orders on the battlefield is a capital crime.
But these four people are all the backbones selected from the guerrillas. If they all die, the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas will be greatly reduced.
So thinking of this, Ma Pingan wanted to say a few good words for these four people. Although this went against his original intention, it was still four lives.
But at this moment, these four men puffed up their chests and said, "If the worst happens, we will shoot you. Twenty years later, I will be a good man again. I will pick up a gun and still fight the Japanese!"
"············"
Ma Pingan was extremely speechless and thought to himself: I can't save you.
Of course, these are all angry words, and you need to be saved if you need to.
Just when Ma Pingan was about to say something, Duanwu smiled and said: "Haha, what? Do you think we people will fight the devils for twenty years and wait for you? You think too highly of yourself. Without you, we
Aren't you going to fight the Japanese anymore?
Look at how cowardly you all are. You disobey military orders and almost directly lead to the failure of the operation, but you don't feel the slightest bit of guilt in your hearts. People like you will only be a disaster if you stay in the army. Are you going to fight the Japanese? You will really fight the Japanese.
Everyone was killed!"
Duanwu reprimanded, and at this time the four guerrillas finally lowered their heads in shame.
Duanwu snorted and said nothing more. Because according to military law, it is inevitable for these four people to be punished on the spot. But they are guerrillas of the underground party, and there is no need for him to have conflicts with the guerrillas of the underground party over this trivial matter.
.
And seeing that Ma Ping'an still regards these four people as his treasures, if he kills them, the old Ma will probably feel unhappy.
Therefore, it is better to give Lao Ma a favor during the Dragon Boat Festival, not to mention that I have to gain a lot in Dongping County.
This harvest naturally refers to traitors.
It's easy to kill a traitor, but after killing people, he has no reason to let these traitors shed any more blood.
Of course, those traitors who have committed the most heinous crimes must also be killed. But before they are killed, their assets must be confiscated.
It's just that Duanwu didn't know much about Dongping County. Instead, Ma Ping'an had intelligence personnel in the city.
Therefore, Duanwu had to give Lao Ma some face in this matter. What's more, Lao Ma is a very capable person, and Duanwu liked him very much.
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Duanwu. I will definitely punish them severely when I go back. I will punish them severely."
Ma Ping'an laughed repeatedly, but winked at Jiang Wanchao, telling him to pull him away quickly, lest the Duanwu brother in front of him change his mind again.
It can be said that if Duanwu wanted to kill these four people, there was nothing he could do. Disobeying orders on the battlefield, no matter in any army, has only one outcome, and that is to be shot on the spot, and will never be tolerated.
But he had to go through such a process, otherwise these four people almost ruined other people's plans. You didn't even say a word, so what did people think about Dragon Boat Festival?
So even if they die, these four people still have to show their faces in front of the Dragon Boat Festival.
But now, when this happened, Ma Ping'an showed his true colors, looking like a rich man. He was going to ask for something from the Dragon Boat Festival again. Who told the Dragon Boat Festival brothers to be nice and generous! If he didn't follow suit and get some benefits, then
He no longer called Ma Ping'an.
And this is why he hasn't left yet.
Because logically speaking, the important figure Dr. Qian has been rescued, and he should take him away quickly to complete his mission. But this old gentleman never left, and he didn't leave until the battle was over. This was a bit confusing.
Sima Zhao’s intentions are known to everyone on the road!
