The next morning, the large army of the 136th Division reached Shuozhou. Although the Cavalry Regiment sent a telegram yesterday that Shuozhou City was massacred by the Japanese, when everyone actually reached Shuozhou City, they were still deeply shocked by such a miserable scene.

Zhang Yunfei saw ruins everywhere, ruins turned into ashes everywhere, blood was everywhere on the ground, and many corpses on the ground had not yet had time to clean and bury them.

Yesterday, although the surviving people helped clean up for a day and the fire was basically put out, many of the bodies still did not have time to be buried. Early in the morning, the people spontaneously cleaned and buried the bodies.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yunfei felt extremely heavy and angry at the Japanese devils. He thought to himself, "You Japanese devils, one day you will pay your blood debts."

Many soldiers even cried when they saw this scene, as if they had lost their relatives. Some soldiers had nowhere to vent their sadness and anger, so they had to whistle and shout to the sky.

Several brigade commanders around Zhang Yunfei were also full of grief and anger. Wang Haiyang, the commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, said to Zhang Yunfei: "Terminal Commander, I would like to fight for all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade, and let me lead the troops to attack Xinkou and Taiyuan, and kill all these inhumane Japanese devils."

The other brigade commanders were also ready to ask for a fight with Wang Haiyang. Zhang Yunfei patted Wang Haiyang on the shoulder hard, and wanted to speak several times, but he was so choked that he could not speak.

After a long time, Zhang Yunfei said: "I can understand everyone's mood, and I am as sad as everyone else, but our current priority is to help the people rebuild their homes as soon as possible and restore their confidence in life."

After pausing, Zhang Yunfei said again: "We want the whole world to know the Japanese's beastly behavior, use the troops' high-power radio stations, and use clear codes to send newspapers. On the morning of September 3, the ghost stationed in Shuozhou carried out an inhumane massacre on the people in Shuozhou City. Tens of thousands of innocent people were killed and thousands of houses were burned."

A clear radio wave from Zhang Yunfei immediately spread throughout the country. The next day, major newspapers published the Japanese's beastly conduct in Shuozhou. Some patriotic students and workers held a massive parade in major cities, further propaganda of the Japanese's crimes, and at the same time put pressure on the Kuomintang authorities to actively resist Japan and severely punish the Japanese.

When Lao Chiang, who had moved his capital to Chongqing, saw this news, he was helpless except to curse "Niangxipi". At present, the battle in Wuhan has reached a state of intense heat, and millions of elite troops have been put into the Wuhan battlefield. Lao Chiang's control over Shanxi is now very weak.

Zhang Yunfei, who is in Shanxi, does not know about these, which has caused such a great response across the country.

At this time, Zhang Yunfei had led his troops to clean up the bodies, clean up the streets, and repair destroyed houses in Shuozhou City. At the same time, a large number of soldiers and political cadres entered the families of ordinary people who had lost their relatives, helping them rekindle their hopes of life and publicize the Eighth Route Army's determination to fight against Japan.

At noon, the soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment returned. Because of the great victory, most of the soldiers could see a smile on their faces. Only the regiment commander Sun Chuanzhi was nervous and didn't know how to report to the division commander.

Yesterday evening, without asking for instructions, I led the cavalry regiment to pursue the fleeing Japanese. Although I annihilated an infantry brigade, I was still worried that I would be severely punished.

"Report, Cavalry Commander Sun Chuanzhi came to accept the punishment of the division commander." Sun Chuanzhi's loud voice sounded outside the door.

At this time, Zhang Yunfei was working in the temporary office. At present, all the Japanese have fled back to Xinkou. If the troops continue to move south, they must first capture Xinkou. However, there are currently tens of thousands of Japanese divisions stationed in Xinkou, and the time to attack Xinkou is not ripe.

While Zhang Yunfei was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, a loud voice sounded outside the door.

"Please come in"

Seeing Sun Chuanzhi pushing the door in, Zhang Yunfei immediately changed into a serious expression and looked at Sun Chuanzhi who stood straight in front of him after entering.

Zhang Yunfei said seriously: "Captain Sun, do you know the consequences of sending troops without asking for instructions?"

Hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, Sun Chuanzhi thought to himself, "I have learned from the division commander, when did the division commander send troops to fight, and when did he ask for permission from his superiors. But every time he made merits repeatedly, and he had no punishment from the superiors."

Although I thought so in my heart, Sun Chuanzhi still answered loudly: "I know, commander, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Zhang Yunfei walked back and forth several times in front of Sun Chuanzhi. His serious eyes made Sun Chuanzhi feel distressed, and he didn't know how the teacher was going to punish him.

"In this way, you go to the kitchen team to take the blame for a month. The Cavalry Regiment has no combat mission this month. The Cavalry Regiment returns to Datong for training. During this period, the Cavalry Regiment is temporarily commanded by your regiment chief of staff." Zhang Yunfei finally spoke.

"Teacher, this is not enough. I'll just punish me personally. Why do I punish the entire cavalry regiment? Now all regiments and brigades are fighting on the front line, and our cavalry regiment is huddled in Datong for training. The people from the infantry brigade don't laugh at our cavalry regiment." Sun Chuanzhi was anxious and said loudly.

"This is a command, it must be executed."

Seeing that there was no room for bargaining, Sun Chuanzhi immediately became like an eggplant made from frost, and he was lost.

From then on, in the next month, there was a group leader who took the blame in the cooking squad of the division headquarters, and the commanders and brigade commanders. Later, when they saw Sun Chuanzhi, they all jokingly called Sun Chuanzhi "Sun Da Dakuo". Of course, this is a later story.

Zhang Yunfei punished Sun Chuanzhi like this after repeated thinking. The cavalry regiment led by Sun Chuanzhi fought a big victory yesterday and wiped out more than a thousand ghosts who were worse than beasts. From the bottom of his heart, this gave everyone a breath and avenged the murdered people.

Zhang Yunfei himself also wanted to strip this group of inhumane Japanese alive. If it were him, he would lead the troops to catch up without hesitation.

But now, as the commander of the first division, Zhang Yunfei still needs to maintain his own authority in the army. He must punish Sun Chuanzhi, but the punishment must be grasped.

If the punishment is severe, it will make the soldiers feel cold. After all, if the cavalry regiment wins a big victory, it will not be as easy as the punishment is light. If it is light, it will not serve as a good warning.

That's why Zhang Yunfei thought of asking Sun Chuanzhi to take the blame in the cooking squad of the division headquarters. The regiment commander took the blame in the cooking squad. It would definitely be explosive news. It won't take long before all the officers and soldiers of the division knew that it would not only punish Sun Chuanzhi, but also serve as a good warning. It was a killing two birds with one stone.
