After Daping Kazuma, Fujita Ciye and others, Xue Degui and Zhao Chengqi walked in with their generals. If Xue Degui and Zhao Chengqi were still nervous before, they didn't know whether their choice this time was right or wrong. In other words, now, because of the appearance of Ding Yi, they are more sure. For Xue and Zhao, among the senior generals of the Xuebing Army, Ding Yi is definitely the most mysterious one, not only because Ding Yi has appeared in public, Moreover, because he is Langya's top instructor, to this day, Langya has long been awe-inspiring in the military circles around the world. The Langya logo has also become a symbol of invincibility and death. Xue and Zhao are not fools. They know , since Ding Yi appears there, it means that the Chinese Supreme Command has begun to pay attention to the Changchun war situation, because no matter what, they cannot put a senior general like Ding Yi into a desperate situation. For them, Ding Yi has actually already Becoming a "hostage"-like existence.
"From today on, we are a family." The first words Ding uttered made them feel as if they had taken a reassurance, and they were completely relieved.
This was not the only reassurance Ding Yi prepared for them. After a brief but warm exchange of greetings, he took a stack of documents from the adjutant and read them out in public: "These are several identification documents from the Martyrs Recognition Office of the Supreme Command. Hereby, It is determined that what Lieutenant General Li Penglai, the former deputy commander of the Ninth Division of the Fifth Army of the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force, did in the Kuancheng Defense Battle was to fight for the country and the nation against the Japanese invaders, and his sacrifice was for the interests of the country and the nation. , who meet the conditions stipulated in the "Martyr Qualification Assessment" formulated by the Supreme Command, are deemed to have sacrificed their lives for the country, and are specially granted the status of martyr of the Republic of China..."
There are more than twenty "Martyr Identification Letters" in total. Among them, those with the status of school officers and above enjoy the treatment of separate identification. The remaining lieutenants, sergeants and soldiers are uniformly identified by three letters of identification. Ding Yi read out a few He handed the certificate to Xue Degui and Zhao Chengqi and said: "Don't underestimate this martyr certificate. They are the only proof that the martyrs' families enjoy state compensation and subsidies. We Xuebingjun treats the families of martyrs." I have always been generous. With this certificate of recognition in hand, the survivors of the martyrs will at least have a worry-free life in the future. You must ask why Brigadier Huang Caimao of the Fifth Army and Deputy Commander Jiang Guangmin of the Thirteenth Army failed to obtain the qualification of martyrs. I I have been entrusted by the Martyrs Recognition Office to explain to you that it is because they committed too many crimes against the people in the occupied territories during their lifetime. However, if any of you feel that the country has wronged them, you can also file a complaint on their behalf. Under the Supreme Command The military arbitral tribunal will accept this complaint and give a fair judgment..."
Xue and Zhao, including their subordinates, were obviously unprepared for Ding Yi's move, so they were completely shocked at first. Then everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and the expressions on their faces were wonderful. In summary, the expressions on most of their faces were mostly happy, and some looked very uneasy or even downcast. Those who felt lucky were naturally those who usually exercised more restraint on their words and deeds, while those who were very uneasy, They must have committed minor crimes before. As for the ones with gloomy faces, it was obvious that they were usually local overlords and were used to preying on the local people.
"You can still appeal now, but you can do it after this time." Zhang Xuyun was about to remind them out of good intentions, but before he could finish his words, several pale-faced people stood up behind Xue and Zhao. One of them He even knelt down directly to Ding Yi and shouted sternly: "Commander Ding, I know I was wrong. I surrender. I am willing to bear the punishment for what I did before. I hope you will take it from me because I have also beaten the Japanese." Bypass the small one."
The meeting turned into what it is now, which far exceeded Xue and Zhao's expectations. The two looked at each other and quickly interceded for the subordinates who surrendered, hoping that Ding Yi would be noble and let them go.
This scene was what Ding Yi had expected, and it was what he was most happy to see, so he winked at Zhang Xuyun as he had agreed before.
Zhang Xuyun took two steps forward, first lifted up a few people who were kneeling on the ground, then waved his hand to silence the others, and said to them: "Your performance is not bad. I have discussed your matter with Commander-in-Chief Ding. We have also sought the opinions of the Supreme Command. Since you can take the initiative to surrender, it means that you have truly repented." At this point, he looked at Ding Yi and said: "Commander Ding, brothers. They have performed very conscientiously in the previous battles, so I think you will use your immunity to spare them this time."
The word "immunity" came out of his mouth, and those who were the first to bet immediately realized that they had made the right bet, and immediately turned to Ding Yi, asking for forgiveness or guaranteeing that there would never be a next time.
"I have some immunity, but based on your previous performance, it is not enough to atone for your sins. So, I promise you that as long as you perform well in the next war, I will We will definitely grant immunity to everyone, Commander Xue, Commander Zhao, what do you think?"
Xue and Zhao had no objections, so the matter was settled.
The matter regarding the identification of martyrs came to an end. Zhang Xuyun said to the generals of the Fifth Army and the Thirteenth Army who were already familiar with him: "I am very lucky for you. None of you want to get through. Haha, never underestimate the intelligence gathering capabilities of the CIA, everyone, please remember this sentence."
After listening to Zhang Xuyun's words, as he said, the generals who took the lead really looked happy. Ding smiled when he saw this and said to Zhang Xuyun: "Xiao Zhang, don't scare them, we are learning from the army." We are still very humane. As long as we have truly contributed to the anti-Japanese cause and have not caused public dissatisfaction, then the Xue Bing Army will still be merciful and merciful. Okay, since everyone is here, let's have a good discussion. Let’s talk about how to fight next. Everyone, the current situation is not optimistic because we are outnumbered and we are outnumbered.”
There is no doubt that if Ding Yi wants to realize the strategy he formulated when he was in Harbin, the Fifth Army, the Thirteenth Army and even the other puppet Manchukuo National Defense Forces in Changchun will become the key. This is also what he said when he met with Xue, Zhao and others. At this time, we first use the identification of martyrdom as the reason for the incident.
The matter of granting the status of martyrs to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force actually caused a lot of controversy within the Supreme Command, and because of Ouyang Yun's words, "If you want a horse to run well, but also want the horse not to eat grass, what in the world can you do?" "It's such a cheap thing." In the end, the Supreme Command decided to grant the status of martyrs to those officers and soldiers of the Manchukuo National Defense Force who sacrificed their lives in the battle with the Japanese army. However, at the same time, attention must be paid to screening, and distinctions must be made between those who did evil and caused public resentment. treat.
