Just when more than sixty officers of the 174th Division protested against their censorship during the Dragon Boat Festival, a bright gunshot was heard.
However, the gunshot did not come from the scene, but from a place far away from them.
More than sixty officers of the 174th Division were all stunned because they didn't know where the gunfire came from.
But they knew that something bad would definitely happen next.
Sure enough, at this moment, Duanwu said coldly: "Everyone, please remove your weapons immediately. Otherwise, you will be punished as traitors."
After that, Duan Wu waved his hand, and the armed guards held their guns against all the officers. Among them were Zhong Jiushan and Brigadier Tang Shuhua.
The officers who were still protesting just now became silent for an instant. Although they were still very angry, they felt that there might really be a spy among them.
Otherwise, why would the special commissioner come to the 174th Division's position when a war was imminent? And forcibly unloaded the guns of all high-ranking officers.
And at this time, for some unknown reason, a battalion-level officer following Tang Shuhua's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground with one knee.
Although he was quickly helped up by others, Duanwu still saw this detail.
When the guns were put away, he smiled and pointed at the officer whose legs had just gone weak and said, "Bring him out."
"yes!"
The guard stepped forward to pull him away, but Tang Shuhua felt something was wrong. He cursed in his mind that all his subordinates were losers for being so frightened at this time.
He knew that once the Dragon Boat Festival pulled this person out, all his plans would be ruined.
He tried his best to stop him: "What on earth are you going to do? Do you want to surrender and win? Our Gui army is not afraid of death."
"Whether you are afraid of death or not will only be known after the trial. And it seems that he is your subordinate. You are so excited, hahaha!"
Dragon Boat Festival smiles weirdly, it’s obvious what he is referring to?
At this time, the other officers were not fools. They saw that Tang Shuhua's officers had weak legs just now. Moreover, Tang Shuhua seemed to have been opposing the censorship, which was even more strange.
Tang Shuhua saw the distrustful looks from around him, and when he turned around, he winked at his two other subordinates.
One of Tang Shuhua's men pointed at the weak-limbed officer and roared: "Ah? So you are the spy? It's a waste that the brigade boss trusts you so much!"
"me,......"
The officer with weak legs was shocked and dumbfounded. But at this moment, another of Tang Shuhua's men came around behind the officer with weak legs. He twisted his head with both hands, and only heard a click.
The soft officer's neck bones were broken, and the dead body fell to the ground.
"ah?"
When the other officers saw this, they all made sounds of surprise.
Tang Shuhua took the opportunity and said: "Special Commissioner, the spy has been executed on the spot."
"Well, he killed people and silenced them. He did it very simply. He was ruthless and ruthless. I admire you brother, I admire him! Hahaha!"
The Dragon Boat Festival gave him a thumbs up. The people around him, including those officers from 174, naturally knew what was going on.
But Tang Shuhua didn't care. Because the only person who could identify him was dead, and the others were his most loyal brothers. He didn't believe that Duanwu could convict him without a confession. And without his order, his 113
No one will listen to the Dragon Boat Festival.
He had already given his orders before leaving. Although all the battalion-level officers were here, the company-level officers were still there. Without his orders, even if Duanwu was a special commissioner, he would not be able to mobilize his troops. In the end, Duanwu still had to come.
beg him.
And in this way, if he sells the Yushan position to the Japanese under this unfavorable situation, will the Japanese rely on him even more?
And at that time, when the Japanese invaded Guangxi, he would be the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi clique, and he would be able to get whatever wind and rain he wanted.
Tang Shuhua was thinking about his own good things, but at this moment, Duanwu sneered and said, "What a pity, he may not be the only one who can identify you."
"Report to the special correspondent, we caught an officer who came down from the mountain to inform the Japanese."
Before the Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, Zhou Dabang and the soldiers of the Special 1st Company dragged a man back. It was the brigade staff officer Wang Ye who had gone to the foot of the mountain to report to the Japanese.
Wang Ye's leg was broken by the sharpshooters of Special Company 1, and then he was dragged back.
The pain in his legs made Wang Ye keep screaming. When he was thrown to the ground, he was like a puddle of mud, unable to move.
"Do you know him? Who is he?"
Dragon Boat Festival question to all the officers of the 174th Division.
Everyone, including Zhong Jiushan, looked at Tang Shuhua.
Tang Shuhua was breaking out in a cold sweat. Because Wang Ye was the one he sent down the mountain. He felt that he was going to be finished. Once Wang Ye confessed, he would be completely finished.
"Tang Shuhua, isn't this your person?"
At this moment, it was Zhong Jiushan who questioned Tang Shuhua. Zhong Jiushan had always suspected that there was a Japanese spy around him. But he had never been able to find out who this person was. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be his most trusted brother.
Tang Shuhua and him had gone through life and death, and the two of them had been fighting in the same trench twenty years ago. But I didn't expect that he would be the one to betray him.
Zhong Jiushan asked heartbrokenly: "Old Tang, why is this happening? We have been together through life and death for so many years, why do you do this?"
Tang Shuhua saw that he had been exposed, so he simply broke the jar and said: "Yes, you and I have been brothers for more than 20 years. You are a first-class private, and I am a second-class private. You are the squad leader, and I am a first-class private. You are the platoon leader, and I
You are the squad leader, you are the company commander, I am the platoon leader, you are the battalion commander, and I am the company commander. You are the regiment commander, I am the battalion commander, you are the brigade commander, I am the regiment commander, you are the division commander, and I am still the brigade commander.
For twenty years, you have always been holding me down. As long as you are here, I will never be able to get ahead.
I wanted to be transferred to another army. But you went to the military headquarters and took me back by force. You said that we have been brothers for twenty years. You cannot say that we are separated, so we are separated. You said that we are brothers for life.
,you need me!
Yes, you need me, you need me to work hard for you. I am the one fighting the battle, but all the credit is yours.
Just when I thought I could finally get rid of you and was promoted to deputy division commander of the 176th Division, you forcefully took me back.
You keep telling me that we are brothers, and when you find an opportunity, you will definitely give me a deputy division commander. Working in the 174th Division is better than working in the 176th Division. But have you ever considered my feelings?
I am not going to the 176th Division to be the deputy division commander. I am going to show my talents and ambitions. I want to surpass you and become your immediate boss. Let you also feel what it is like to be overtaken by your own brothers.
Feel.
But you destroyed him. You destroyed my only chance.
So the Japanese still recognize heroes. They said that as long as I surrendered to the imperial army, Guangxi would be mine.
Moreover, don’t say that brothers are unjust. I have reserved the position of deputy commander of the Gui Army for you! Haha, hahaha!”
When Tang Shuhua said this, he laughed heartily and crazily.
"Are you crazy?"
Zhong Jiushan asked sadly. Because just for such a ridiculous reason, Tang Shuhua betrayed him.
Twenty years, twenty years, he thought that he and Tang Shuhua were brothers. But behind the brotherhood, there was Tang Shuhua's dissatisfaction.
He never thought that Tang Shuhua would have such thoughts about his eldest brother. He always believed that he and Tang Shuhua were very close. Although they did not have the same surname, they were better than brothers with the same surname.
When Tang Shuhua was transferred, he thought it was also the intention of the military. Although Tang Shuhua was appointed as deputy division commander at the time, he had no real power at all. He was just given the position of deputy division commander.
Because it was Tang Shuhua who took the initiative to find someone to help him with the 176th Division, the other party didn't take him seriously. They just gave him a false title casually.
But Tang Shuhua didn't know it yet, thinking that he would be able to show his ambition when he reached the 176th Division!
At that time, when Zhong Jiushan learned about this, he was afraid that his brother would go and be ostracized, so he went directly to the military headquarters and asked Tang Shuhua back.
But who would have thought that this was Tang Shuhua's own idea. And because of this trivial matter, he actually defected to the Japanese and betrayed him.
His family members were all captured by the Japanese, but not many people know the specific location of his family members.
But now he figured it out, it was his best brother who betrayed him.
But at this moment, Zhong Jiushan burst into tears, but it did not arouse the sympathy of his former brothers.
Tang Shuhua said confidently: "Yes, brothers, I defected to the Japanese. But I also thought about the brothers. How many people died in our Gui army during the Battle of Songhu? I think each of you knows better than me.
Chiang Kai-shek just wanted to send our Guijun to death. He wanted to eradicate our Guijun with the help of the Japanese.
And now, Chiang Kai-shek has left us as cannon fodder in Yushan.
Think about it, can our defenses withstand the enemy's aircraft and artillery? When the war breaks out, this Yushan Mountain will be our tomb.
Brothers, wake up!
Even if we win this battle, what will we get? Promotion and wealth are still matters for the Central Army.
So we don’t have to sacrifice our lives for them. Why don’t you follow me and join the Japanese? Not only can we save our lives, but I can also guarantee that everyone will be promoted and make a fortune in the future!”
"Yes, Brigadier Tang is right!"
"We support Brigadier Tang!"
············
Before Tang Shuhua finished speaking, his subordinates raised their hands and cheered.
But at this time, there were no people around them raising their hands to support them as they imagined.
This is treason. No one is willing to follow Tang Shuhua and join the Japanese. What's more, their guns have been removed and they have become meat on others' chopping boards. Is it really appropriate to say such a thing at this time?
Bang bang bang!
But I didn't expect that at this moment, someone was applauding.
Everyone went out looking for the name, but they saw it was the Dragon Boat Festival.
Everyone looked at Duanwu in surprise. But at this moment, Duanwu smiled faintly and said: "That's very good. I almost feel moved by what you said. But it's a pity that I am Chinese. I like to be Chinese. I
I don’t want to be a dog for foreigners. Maybe I will die in battle today. But I will die as a Chinese.
You may survive, but you will survive as a traitor and will be reviled by Chinese people for eternity.
What's more, it seems like you won't survive today.
Do you know? At the foot of our mountain, the Chongteng detachment is a group of traitor troops. They are crooks and were once Chinese. But now, they are willing to be dogs for the Japanese. And they are crazy about our Chinese army.
attack.
The Chairman of the Generalissimo ordered that this traitorous force should be eliminated at all costs. So I brought a division of troops to the position of your 174th Division. Hahaha! Hahahaha!..."
The maniacal laughter of the Dragon Boat Festival resounded throughout the Yushan position. His laughter stunned Zhong Jiushan and other senior officers of the 174th Division, and even made traitors such as Tang Shuhua and their livers and gallbladders burst into tears.
How many people does a division have? In other words, in addition to the people brought up by Dragon Boat Festival, there are also troops under Yushan Mountain.
But they didn't realize it at all.
Some people even sighed in their hearts, thanks to their own troops, otherwise, how could the Yushan position still exist?...
