Chapter 97 Find a way to live!

As the base camp of the puppet Mongolian army, the number of puppet Mongolian troops stationed in Zhangjiakou is undoubtedly much higher than that of other places. However, since the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army was executed by the Eighth Route Army, the role of the puppet Mongolian army in the minds of the Japanese army has plummeted.

Even in Zhangjiakou, the puppet Mongolian army still has a so-called King of De who can rely on. But in fact, everyone knows that the elite of the puppet Mongolian army are basically controlled by Li Shouxin, the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army.

Unfortunately, when this elite force followed Li Shouxin out of the city to reinforce Xilindunle League, he was completely wiped out by the Third Infantry Division under He Zhengdao. Even if Li Shouxin was finally executed by the Eighth Route Army.

It can be said that the news of Li Shouxin's execution spread, which also had a huge blow to the puppet Mongolian army. What made the puppet Mongolian army even more panic was that the Eighth Route Army did not take the opportunity to agree to Li Shouxin's so-called "anyway".

As a very famous speculator in the Republic of China, Li Shouxin was able to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian Army that the Kwantung Army valued, relying on speculation and finding support everywhere with the troops at hand.

But the problem is that this move seems to be useless in the Eighth Route Army. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, if they can successfully instigate Li Shouxin, perhaps for the Eighth Route Army, there may be a chance to recruit the puppet Mongolian army with good combat effectiveness.

In response to this different opinion, He Zhengdao, who decided to execute Li Shouxin at the time, also said coldly: "In the eyes of many people, if you know your mistakes, you should give others a chance. But I will not give any big traitors or traitors this kind of opportunity.

Perhaps killing a Li Shouxin will make the puppet Mongolian army hate our Eighth Route Army even more. But it is always better to make the people who have been bullied by the puppet Mongolian army hate us for being strong? We call ourselves the people's soldiers, and the people's opinions are the most important.

If the people were willing to give him a chance to survive when the public trial of Li Shouxin, I would follow the opinions of the people. If the people firmly demanded the execution of Li Shouxin and avenge those who died under his hands in the early years, then he would have to die!"

It was He Zhengdao's firm request that Li Shouxin, who finally felt that he could escape death, was eventually executed. Many officers and soldiers of the Third Infantry Division who learned the news felt relieved.

Originally, in Lu Zhencao's opinion, he was also worried that the Eighth Route Army would give Li Shouxin some preferential treatment. After all, in the eyes of many politicians, Li Shouxin is also a target worthy of winning. As for the opinions of ordinary people, how many people really pay attention to it?

As a result, He Zhengdao still did not forget his original intention and ignored the promises made by Li Shouxin. In fact, when Li Shouxin expressed his willingness to surrender the puppet Mongolian army, and even joined the Eighth Route Army to attack the Kwantung Army, He Zhengdao still did not waver his determination to kill him.

To what He Zhengdao said in the interrogation room at that time, it was: "You were able to betray the Northeast Army and join the Kwantung Army, but now you can betray the Kwantung Army and join the Eighth Route Army in order to survive. So one day in the future, will you betray again?

In fact, if you join the Kwantung Army and choose to betray, you may be able to explain it based on the current situation. But in recent years, in order to help the Kwantung Army rule the so-called pseudo-Mongolian government, how many anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians have you killed?

If you can save your life as long as you admit your mistake, who will avenge other people who have been killed by him? What's the point of revenge for them? What's the point of a force that can surrender to anyone at any time?"

It was precisely this that completely abolished Li Shouxin's fantasy. Not long after, Li Shouxin, who was tried in Ulanqab City, was directly sentenced by the Eighth Route Army to the end of the on-site execution of the Fa-rectification on the spot amid the shouts of people.

Originally, before leaving Zhangjiakou, Li Shouxin also retained a unit commanded by a confidant general in the city. In Li Shouxin's view, this is his old nest and he must not be lost at any time. He also leaves a way out for himself.

But with Li Shouxin's execution, the troops he left in the city also became targets of suppression by other puppet Mongolian and Japanese troops. Even the rebellion that broke out in Zhangjiakou in the previous period was caused by this army.

Although the Japanese army finally executed only the puppet Mongolian troops involved in the rebellion. However, the puppet Mongolian troops that survived became marginal figures. Even with the normal food supply, the Japanese troops in the city were still serving one meal after another.

What even made these puppet Mongolian soldiers feel aggrieved was that even if they wanted to leave the city, they were stopped by the Japanese army in the city. In a word, Zhangjiakou, which originally seemed to them as home, became a large prison for them to be imprisoned.

Hundreds of puppet Mongolian troops survived, so they could only grit their teeth and persevere. In their opinion, in this situation, they could only expect the Eighth Route Army to invade Zhangjiakou. As long as the Eighth Route Army enters the city, even if they die, it would be better than living like this.

The puppet troops who lived every day also became other targets of attack and fun belonging to King De. Until the Japanese army in the city suddenly withdrew from Zhangjiakou overnight.

In fact, these puppet troops have been looking for opportunities to escape from Zhangjiakou. Unfortunately, they all know that there are not many such opportunities. Not to mention the puppet troops in the city staring at them, even if there are patrols outside the city shooting and killing the so-called deserters at any time.

Hearing the report from the guard beside him, the only surviving puppet cavalry commander said in disbelief: "The Japanese are really gone? Can you be sure?"

‘The rank, really! Two days ago, our people found that the Japanese were secretly collecting supplies and loading them into the vehicle. They thought they had military operations, but this morning I went to the city and saw that there was no Japanese in the city.

Even the guy De Wang left, and the little Japanese and expatriates living in the city also left. Even the guys who obeyed King De earlier were now panicked, and they were all thrown into the city.'

Upon learning the news, the cavalry commander who was also Li Shouxin's direct lineage had been said in the end: "Go and find the second battalion commander!"

Not long after, a cavalry battalion commander who also seemed to be a little soulful, walked into the command room of the cavalry regiment. The reason he was called was that a comrade in the cavalry commander of the previous cavalry commander is now serving as a company commander in the Eighth Route Army cavalry unit.

Of course, not many people know about this news. However, the cavalry commander was an insider. He knew that the Japanese evacuated from Zhangjiakou overnight, so the puppet troops in the city who were furious could not stop the Eighth Route Army who came to take over the city at that time.

‘Lao Tie, can you contact your former brother?’

Faced with such inquiry, the second battalion commander shook his head and said, "It's a difficult regiment, the Eighth Route Army is uncertain. I haven't left the city for a long time. I really don't know if I can contact them!"

‘Old Tie, we are all old brothers, and I won’t hide some of the words from you. In this regard, even if you don’t do it for you and me, even for the sake of the old brothers of our cavalry regiment, you must help us!’

It is clear that in such a chaotic world, even if their cavalry regiment is no longer in line with their name. But after all, there are still hundreds of people living in the cavalry regiment. The reason why they did not participate in the rebellion was actually because the cavalry regiment commander felt that they were not sure.

Under the eyes of the Japanese, how could it be possible to make the Japanese rebellion successful? But he also understood that the rebellious officers and soldiers were actually forced into a dead end by the Japanese. If they were not to fight, they would die, but they would die. Why not take a gamble?

Listening to the commander's begging, the second battalion commander thought for a while and said, "Royal Commander, I'll give it a try! However, I think the Eighth Route Army should not kill innocent people indiscriminately, right? Although we have done a lot of bad things over the years, most of them are also on orders.

Most importantly, after we entered Zhangjiakou, we never fought against the Eighth Route Army. As long as we cooperate with the Eighth Route Army's actions, I believe they will give us a chance to atone for sins? And I have an idea, don't you know whether to speak or not?"

‘It’s time, just say what you have!’

After the Second Battalion Commander expressed his thoughts, the Cavalry Commander also said in surprise: "No? He also has contact with the Eighth Route Army. Isn't that guy the confidant of King De?"

‘Roun, who doesn’t want to leave more ways for themselves these days? I think if we can cooperate with him, maybe we can control the situation in the city. Isn’t it better for us to take the initiative to open the city and accept surrender than waiting for the Eighth Route Army to come over?’

‘Okay! Then you can do this!’

Not long after, a group of people soon came to the door of this cavalry regiment that few people usually care about. However, compared with the people of the cavalry regiment, these troops belonging to the puppet Mongolian army had much better mental outlook.

Looking at the middle-aged man walking in the front, many of the cavalry soldiers of the cavalry regiment said unexpectedly: "Isn't this the commander of the Sixth Cavalry Division? What did he come to our cavalry regiment to do at this time?"

In the eyes of many people, as the commander of the cavalry division captured by King De, not long after leaving the cavalry regiment, several carriages arrived at the cavalry regiment. Looking at the bullet boxes filled with the carriage, all the cavalry were stunned.

You know, in order to prevent them from rebelling, the Kwantung Army confiscated all the bullets of the cavalry regiment. Even though they were carrying guns on their backs, there was no bullet in the gun. But at this time, the Sixth Cavalry Division sent so many bullets!

When the cavalry regiment quickly completed the assembly, the cavalry regiment commander said seriously: "Brothers, I believe you all know that the Japanese ran away overnight and left us all in the city. Without further ado, you all know what this means?

In order to find a life for the brothers and to be able to live like individuals in the future, I decided to revolt in front of the formation and cooperate with the Sixth Division to capture the entire city. When the Eighth Route Army came, we defected to the Eighth Route Army to change our way.

Maybe the Eighth Route Army will not accept us, but you should all know that the Eighth Route Army still has preferential treatment for prisoners. Maybe we can't carry guns in the future, but at least we can survive. Do you do this business?"

'Dry!'

The cavalry commander was relieved by a very simple but unanimous answer. Not long after, the cavalry regiment, whose bullets were released, cooperated with the 6th Cavalry Division, who also chose to revolt in front of the formation, to control Zhangjiakou.

As for those pseudo-Mongolian officers and government officials who were extremely guilty and planned to escape, they were detained by them. Even the seized property was confiscated and handed over to the Eighth Route Army who were about to enter the city at that time.
