Chapter 106: Keeping the chicken and scaring the monkey

Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Do you really think they are the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops who have broken down from the battlefield? The Baoqing War has just ended, and a small group of Japanese and puppet troops escaped from the encirclement and broke up here. This is not a strange thing, but Have you ever seen a defeated army with such neat uniforms and not even a single slightly wounded person? You are also a veteran who has fought on the front line. You should know what it looks like coming off the battlefield."

"In addition, for traitors, especially those who have caused huge losses to the army and the local area because of their greed for life and fear of death, they will be executed even if they are hunted to the ends of the earth. This is the policy of our army. Besides, we do not have so many vehicles with them. Go ahead and follow these traitors, it is not against policy, let Zhang Zixiong cooperate with you and conduct screening."

Seeing Yang Zhen's resolute attitude, the staff did not dare to say anything and took Zhang Zixiong to interrogate the traitors. Wang Zihua, who had committed a heinous crime but still wanted to live, kept a small life in order to reduce his guilt. He was like a bamboo tube during the interrogation. It's like pouring beans, so what's the point?

When the results of the interrogation came out, not to mention that the staff officer was shocked, even Yang Zhen couldn't help but frowned slightly when he saw the interrogation record. Zhang Zixiong was right, this Wang Zihua was indeed Wang Zifu's confidant, and he knew it There were quite a lot of things. In his confession, he not only told the inside story of the collapse of the Third Division and the rebellion, but also the inside story of the collapse of the entire Eighth Army.

Judging from this confession, the Eighth Army became the army with the most senior cadres and troops defecting to the enemy among the anti-alliance armies. The reason for its collapse was not just as simple as what was written in later history books. There were quite a lot of hidden secrets in it. Many of them involve the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, and the deputy commander of the military region Zhao, who is now sent back to Yan'an to study.

Yang Zhen, who had not paid much attention to these confessions at first, read them very carefully after seeing the words involving the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the Third Anti-Alliance Army. When he put down the confession in his hand, Yang Zhen closed his eyes, and in his mind It is imaginable that the commander-in-chief failed in several joint operations because Commander Xie conserved his strength. Especially before the Western Expedition, the commander simply refused to execute orders and killed several political cadres and was angry.

There are not many things related to the commander-in-chief. The main ones are the differences over unified command, the Eighth Army commander's refusal to execute orders, unfavorable cooperation in many battles, and his open welcome to political workers, but secret rejection, and even As for other people, there are many conflicts caused by the assassination.

After Yang Zhen pulled out the confession about the commander-in-chief, he hesitated and pulled out the confession about the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army and deputy commander Zhao, lit a fire and burned it. There were no people left, and he still did such things. What to do with so many famous names? Since there are only vague topics left in future generations, then let him continue to be passed down.

After handing the rest of the confessions to the staff for safekeeping, he nodded to the group of traitors and signaled for immediate execution. As for the few remaining people, a platoon was left to escort them to Baoqing County and hand them over to Liu Changshun for disposal.

Seeing Yang Zhen nodding, Zhang Zixiong, who was already impatient, shook the Type 44 rifle in his hand, showed his bayonet and was about to kill Liu Shuhua, director of the Political Department of the Eighth Army, and Wang Zihua, one of the murderers of his father. Go down, just when his bayonet was pressed against Wang Zihua's chest, Yang Zhen over there suddenly shouted "Stop". Hearing Yang Zhen's shout, Zhang Zixiong was slightly startled, but the movement of his hand stopped. .

Yang Zhenhe stopped Zhang Zixiong, hesitated for a moment and said to the staff beside him: "The original plan is cancelled. First escort them all back to Baoqing County. They will be handed over to Liu Changshun's custody first. Tell Liu Changshun that if one of them runs away, I will question him and check the vehicle." , let’s rush back to Jiamusi.”

Hearing that Yang Zhen had changed his original mind and seeing his father-killing enemy being taken away, Zhang Zixiong thought that Yang Zhen had changed his mind. Zhang Zixiong said in a hurry: "Chief, you can't let these people go. They have them all." Blood debt, could it be that Director Liu, my father, and the Eighth Army cadres who died in their hands were all in vain."

Hearing Zhang Zixiong's anxious tone, his tone changed slightly. Yang Zhen, who was about to get in the car as he opened the car door, smiled slightly and said: "Who said I should let them go? Let their heads be stored for a while first. I will keep them to be useful." , As for when you need to use it, you will know it in a few days. Okay, don’t think too much, you have been waiting for such a long time, and it is not too late."

Zhang Zixiong was confused by Yang Zhen's words. What use could a few traitors have? But the chief didn't want to explain clearly, and he had no choice but to hope that the chief was not joking with him. Those traitors, especially that Wang Zihua's head, really It was only kept for a few days. In Zhang Zixiong's opinion, as long as this Wang Zihua could be executed, even if he did not do it himself, it would be enough to comfort Director Liu and his father who were brutally killed by him.

After properly comforting Wang Zihua, Yang Zhen got into the car, closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and then said to the little Huzi in the front seat of the car: "Huzi, what do you think of this Zhang Zixiong?"

When Xiao Huzi heard Yang Zhen's words, he was stunned for a moment and then said: "No. 1, this person is very skilled, especially his marksmanship. Even if he is assigned to be an instructor in the reconnaissance camp directly under the military region, it will not be a problem, but this kid has His murderous intent is a bit strong, his identity is a bit sensitive, and his temperament is a bit wild, but I don’t understand why you suddenly changed your mind if you weren’t determined to be these traitors.”

Hearing Xiao Huzi's similarly confused tone, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Huzi, do you still remember the trouble Du Kaishan's troops encountered in Dong'an? These people should and must be killed. reasons, but now is not the time to kill. This battle has only been half fought. We will liberate more places in the future. Sometimes the heads of these people can be used to deter some dishonest people who are determined to give up to the Japanese. A hard-core traitor who works hard for his life.”

After hearing Yang Zhen's explanation, Xiao Huzi suddenly realized and said: "No. 1, I understand. The reason why you are keeping them alive now is because you will use their heads to kill chickens and monkeys when you liberate a new city. Let’s scare those spies so that we don’t run into similar troubles as we did in Dong’an.”

Hearing this, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Huzi, you are already twenty this year. You are not young. In the Red Army, many people at your age became division commanders. You can't always be there." I work as a security guard, have you ever considered working in the grassroots army for a few years?"

Hearing that Yang Zhen asked him to leave the army, Xiao Huzi's face changed drastically and he turned to Yang Zhen and said: "No. 1, if you want to drive me away, did I do something wrong? If I didn't do well, I won't be able to change it if you tell me. Yes, but don’t drive me away.”

Seeing that Xiao Huzi's eyes were a little red when he said these words, Yang Zhen sighed and said patiently: "Huzi, to be honest, I can't bear to let you leave the army. We have supported each other all the way from Guan Nei to now. , it’s really not easy. To be honest, I have always treated you as my brother, but you can’t always be by my side. That will limit your own development. You are still young and there is still a long way to go in the future. You can’t Always limited to one guard platoon leader."

"Before the launch of this campaign, when there was a shortage of grassroots cadres for the army expansion, I wanted to get you to leave the army. But firstly, I was really reluctant to let you leave my side. Secondly, considering that you still have some experience in leading troops. "No, it will be good for you to stay with me and exercise more, but now it seems that my original decision was wrong. I should have put you down earlier and trained you for a while."

"I have chosen two positions for you. One is for you to go to the reconnaissance camp. The reconnaissance camp is now preparing to expand into a special operations brigade and is in urgent need of a large number of outstanding grassroots cadres. When this campaign is over, you will go to the military region political cadre training group to study After a period of time, I will first serve as an instructor in the Special Operations Brigade. You are with me and have little experience in leading troops. You will first serve as a political cadre. Once you are familiar with it, you will make a decision based on the situation."

"Second, as this campaign progresses, it is imperative to expand the base area. The military region is preparing to establish county security brigades in the newly liberated counties to serve as local security brigades, under the dual command of the military division and the military region's social department. We I want you to serve as the instructor or deputy captain of one of the brigade, look at Hulin, Mishan, Dong'an, Yilan and Boli counties, where do you want to go?"

Seeing Yang Zhen's arrangements for him, Xiao Huzi's eyes turned red: "No. 1, you have really made up your mind, but I can't bear to leave you. When I was in the customs, I served as your correspondent. When I arrived in the Northeast, I I have always been by your side, but now that I am gone, you don’t even have a close person around you anymore, who will take care of your life."

Seeing that Xiao Huzi couldn't let go of him, Yang Zhen patted his shoulder and sighed: "Huzi, to be honest, I can't let you go either. I really can't. I feel at ease with you by my side, and I have never I have been worried about trivial matters, but even when I sleep, I feel at ease."

"But it is precisely because I have always regarded you as a biological brother that I hope you will have a good future in the future. Being a guard by my side means becoming a guard company commander. How much can a guard battalion commander do? If you are young, you should learn more and practice at the grassroots level for a while, which will be good for your future."

"As for the person who will succeed you, I have already thought about it. Zhang Zixiong is good behind him, but his temper is a little wild and his murderous spirit is too strong. Let him go to the grassroots. Others may not be able to control him. I will lead him Being by my side means that I can take over your job and stay with you for a while."

"The nature of the feudal patriarchs within the Eighth Army is too strong. It doesn't look like an army, but more like an armed group of bandits who want to talk to each other. He is from the Eighth Army and comes from a bearded family. This kind of appearance is not unusual, but this kind of person Often, as long as you give him a good beating and rub the wildness out of him, he will become a good soldier."

"After you return to Jiamusi, let Chen Bo's Ministry of Social Affairs review it. If there are no problems, you can take him with you for a while. When the battle is over and you go to the military region's political training group to study, he will take over your job. "

Having said this, Yang Zhen was silent for a while and then said: "Huzi, don't have any psychological burden. As an elder brother, I hope that your future will be brighter and not be limited to such a big palm next to me."

In the world, there are several battles in life. If you don't fight now, then when will you fight? In this era of great changes, you should have a broader vision and have your own world."
