Chapter 16 To show sincerity, personally dispatched
"Which camp should I join?"
Xu Hailang fell into deep thought. Although they had decided to revolt and turn to the light, they had not decided which side to join.
The Central Army must not be able to choose.
Before surrender, they were originally the Central Army, but under the order of the command of their superiors, they were forced to surrender to the Japanese army and had long lost confidence in the Central Army.
Deputy Company Commander Liu Qiang naturally knew this.
Although he had already contacted the Eighth Route Army, he was not sure what the company commander Xu Hailang meant, so he asked tentatively: "Company Commander, I don't know who do you prefer to the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army?"
Xu Hailang pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Eighth Route Army!"
"Some time ago, a regiment of the Eighth Route Army defeated a Japanese regiment, killed the Japanese regiment commander, and seized a gang flag. This is the first time since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War."
"The Eighth Route Army has blood and faith. They are truly the troops who want to fight the Japanese."
The capture of the Japanese wing flag was not only the first time since the War of Resistance Against Japan, but also a great opportunity to boost the morale of the army and strengthen the confidence of the national military and civilians in fighting against Japan.
After the Eighth Route Army received the flag of the Bantian United, the boss made a lot of publicity. Not only the Eighth Route Army, but also Yan Laoxi, the commander-in-chief of the Second World War Zone, and the chairman far away in Chongqing, also made publicity without hesitation this time, and even held several press conferences.
Of course, they would not mention the Eighth Route Army, but instead took their military achievements on their own. After all, the Eighth Route Army was the 18th Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army.
Therefore, in their opinion, the military achievements of the Eighth Route Army were the military achievements of the National Army, and there was no problem at all.
However, this is just their wishful thinking and deceiving themselves. Everyone knows what's going on.
Because of this, it is not surprising that Xu Hailang knew that the new regiment defeated Sakata United.
After a pause, Xu Hailang continued: "As for Yan Laoxi's Jinsui Army, their weapons and equipment are good and their military pay is sufficient. But it gives people the feeling that Yan Laoxi, who was born as a warlord, has been preserving his strength and is unwilling to fight against the Japanese head-on. It is obvious that he wants to be his King of Shanxi."
Liu Qiangben echoed: "Indeed, if it is to fight the Japanese, following the Eighth Route Army is undoubtedly the best choice."
Xu Hailang was silent for a moment and said with some concern: "I just don't know if the Eighth Route Army is willing to accept us."
Liu Qiang said: "I have a cousin in the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. If the company commander, you really decide to join the Eighth Route Army, I can contact you."
Xu Hailang: "Okay! Then I'll leave this matter to you. The faster the better, so as to avoid the nights getting longer and more dreams."
"yes!"
Liu Qiang focused on the key points.
...
On the other side, after nearly an hour and a half, Wang Chengzhu, who disguised himself as an ordinary person, finally arrived in Shilipo Town.
Wang Chengzhu ordered the soldiers to wait for news in a small forest outside the town, and only took Wang Shugen toward the entrance of the town.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the town.
There is a squad of puppet troops standing guard at the entrance of the town to inspect the people entering and leaving the town.
A simple barricade fortification was stacked with sandbags next to it, and a light machine gun was mounted on the fortifications.
There were not many people entering the town today, and it was soon Wang Chengzhu and Wang Shugen.
The two puppet soldiers stopped the two and asked in a bad tone: "Where are you from? What are you doing when you go to Shilipo Town?"
Wang Shugen next to him immediately said, "Boss, my name is Genzi. We are from Wangjia Village. Your deputy company commander Liu Qiang is my cousin. This time I came to Shilipo Town, so I made a special trip to him."
When the puppet army blocked the road to inspect, they heard Wang Shugen call out their deputy company commander's name, they naturally did not doubt the other party's identity. Their attitude changed 180 degrees and greeted him with a smile: "Oh, brother, you are the cousin of our deputy company commander. Please, please, please, please."
The puppet army immediately gave way to Wang Chengzhu and Wang Shugen, and finally led the way to the two of them in front.
The puppet army's plan is very simple. As long as we have a good relationship with Wang Shugen and let the other party say a few words to the deputy company commander Liu Qiang, he, as the deputy squad leader, can be transferred to a regular position.
Of course, Wang Chengzhu and the other two would not refuse. With the guidance of the deputy squad leader of the puppet army, they could save a lot of trouble on the road.
This puppet soldier is also very good at being accustomed to his affairs. He continued to get along with Wang Shugen along the way. He was called brothers and brothers with Wang Shugen at just 500 meters.
"Brother Genzi, this is our company."
The deputy squad leader of the puppet army directly led Wang Chengzhu and Wang Shugen into the company compound. At this time, Liu Qiang and Xu Hailang finished their talks and were walking out of the company.
"Monkey, you kid are not on duty at the entrance of the town, why do you run to the company headquarters to do?"
Deputy Squad Leader of the Puppet Army: "Deputy Company Commander, see who I brought to you."
As he said that, he put his body aside, and Liu Qiang noticed Wang Shugen and Wang Chengzhu following the other party.
"Genzi, oh, why are you here? I won't say to my brother in advance, so that I can go to the town entrance to pick you up in advance."
Wang Shugen smiled and said, "Cousin, I think you are busy with military affairs, so I came by myself."
Seeing that Wang Shugen and his deputy platoon leader were so close, the deputy squad leader of the puppet army felt more and more that how wise his choice was today.
He saluted Liu Qiang and said, "Deputy Company Commander, if there is no other instructions, I will go back to the town entrance to work."
"Go and go, do it well." Liu Qiang waved.
"yes!"
The deputy squad leader of the puppet army responded, and when he turned around, he still winked at Wang Shugen. The meaning was very obvious, that is, don’t forget to say a few more beautiful words in front of his cousin.
After the deputy platoon leader of the puppet army left, Liu Qiang looked at Wang Chengzhu on the side and said, "Genzi, who is this brother?"
Wang Shugen said in a voice that only three people could hear: "Cousin, this is our platoon leader Wang Chengzhu. He killed Sakata Nobuzhe in Cangyunling with one shot, and it was also the Japanese corps flag he seized."
Liu Qiang looked surprised: "Oh, it turns out that you are Wang Chengzhu, the combat hero in my second war zone. He has long been revered to Daming and Daming!"
