Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Sir, I don't know which commander's team you are in? We have just paid the concubine tax for this commander. Please go back and rest earlier, sirs, at this late hour!" An elder, he still looks a little old and knowledgeable, his face is full of wrinkles and he speaks very modestly.

Li Weidong nodded, took off his military cap, pointed to the cap badge on it and said, "Our chief is indeed Zhang, but it's not Zhang Zongchang who harmed the people in Shandong, but the commander of the First Division of the Youth Army, Zhang Zizhong from Linqing, Shandong." General, folks, we are the youth army from the south. The plum blossom emblem on this hat is the symbol of our youth army. We are here to expel the warlords and resist the Japanese army. We are the army of the national government. Please don't be afraid, folks! "

After a pause, Li Weidong continued: "This elder, my name is Li Weidong, an officer of the First Division of the Youth Army of the Nationalist Government. We were ordered here to carry out anti-Japanese missions. May I ask this elder's name?"

When they heard that it was the army from the south, the whole village breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. Although they were in a backwater rural area, merchants who came from south to north mentioned that the court in the south was better than the court in the north. , at least there are not so many exorbitant taxes, the business is easy to do, and the lives of ordinary people are also easy.At the same time, there are also strong men in the village who were captured by Zhang Zongchang to fight. They were released after being captured a few days ago. Talking about things outside, they also said that the army in the south has strict rules, treats people politely, and does not trouble the common people.

The elder replied very indifferently: "This old man's surname is Wang Shan, and his given name is Yunfu. He is a scholar from the previous dynasty and is the patriarch of the Wang family in Dawangjia Village. The name of your army's benevolence and righteousness has already spread all over the world. Why are you surrounding the village tonight?"

Li Weidong put on his military cap and gave a military salute: "Mr. Wang, to tell you the truth, the Japanese invaders landed in Qingdao and are about to call in. I was ordered to lead my troops here to investigate the Japanese army's military situation. I chose to borrow money in Guicun tonight." Staying overnight, in order to avoid leaking information, we had to surround the village. We will leave early tomorrow morning, and it will be convenient to go to Guicun. In addition, we will not stay in vain. We will pay for accommodation and food, please do not reject..."

What came out of the gun was not only the political power, but also the power to forcibly enter other people to add accommodation. This old man named Wang Shi is very sophisticated, so in the end Li Weidong and the others were allowed to enter the village to stay overnight, and Wang Shi took the lead in letting his house to the village. More than half of it was paid for Li Weidong and the others to stay.After walking for a day, many soldiers fell asleep after barely soaking their feet in hot water under the force of the officers. . .

Originally, I thought I would just spend the night like this, and continued to search for fighters early the next morning, but I didn't expect the village to be noisy again in the middle of the night. . .

From [-]:[-] midnight to [-]:[-] a.m., the ninth company, three platoons, and one squad were in charge of patrolling. The deputy squad leader of the first squad was a Shandong soldier whose name was not very good. His name was Zheng Guanxi, from Qinghe, Shandong. He was from the same town as the division commander. .The origin of his name is very strange. His father was an honest farmer with little education. When his son was born, he happened to be listening to a story in a tea shed. In the section "Xi", it happened that my surname was Zheng, so my son was called Zheng Guanxi, and I probably didn't know whether Zheng Guanxi was a decent or a villain.Zheng Guanxi, like his teacher Zhang Zizhong, joined the youth army after being captured in Hengyang.However, because of his bad temper, he was not promoted to an officer, but because of his bravery in combat, he was finally transferred to the first division and became a non-commissioned officer.The only advantage is that this person is quite honest as a soldier, and he is not troublesome on weekdays, so the three past platoon leaders of this platoon are very wise not to provoke this thorn.

Moreover, Zheng Guanxi, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, still has the refreshing and heroic spirit unique to Shandong people. He saw that everyone was very tired that night, so he took the initiative to stand quietly from twelve o'clock to two o'clock in the morning. Ordinary people are the sleepiest and tiredest. a group of posts.

Standing guard with Zheng Guanxi tonight is a new recruit named Shu Wenqing, from Chenzhou, Hunan.Although the First Division is not a team like the Guards Division, which is so awesome that it does not accept recruits, the recruits who can come in are definitely top picks from various recruit bases.This Shu Wenqing is of medium build, characterized by his explosive power.The name is gentle, but the ability in fighting is definitely not bad, which Zheng Guanxi recognizes.But this kid is very witty and good at being a man. He is very polite to seniors like Zheng Guanxi. He always follows Zheng Guanxi obediently. He does whatever the deputy squad leader does. Zheng Guanxi is very satisfied with this.

So the two stood at the entrance of the village facing the cold wind. According to the rules, one was a clear whistle and the other was a dark whistle.

But before standing there for a long time, I heard footsteps and panting from afar.Shu Wenqing, who stood at the sentry post, immediately took down the rifle from his shoulder, loaded the bullets, and shouted in the direction of the person coming: "Who is it, stop, or you will shoot!"

The person who came seemed to be taken aback, and immediately stopped in place and replied, "Is this Dawang's Village? I'm from Gaoxinzhuang. Something serious happened. I'm looking for your patriarch, take me there quickly."

After speaking, the person came running over again, causing Shu Wenqing to fall to the ground with the butt of the gun, and then the muzzle of the gun was firmly pressed against the back of the head.The person who came seemed to feel the murderous intent. He felt that the man with the gun might really shoot, and immediately shouted nervously: "Aren't you from Dawang's Village? My uncle is the son-in-law of your royal patriarch, you, you. . . ”

Zheng Guanxi jumped out immediately, stopped Shu Wenqing's next move, and then brought him to the company headquarters together with Shu Wenqing.

"Report to the company commander, a spy has been caught."

"Sir, I'm not a spy. I was sent by my uncle to find the head of the royal family. You, who are you?" Before Li Weidong could ask, the captured man hurriedly shouted for grievances.

At this time, the patriarch of the royal family opened the windshield and walked in: "Commander Li, Commander Li, I know this old man. He is the eldest follower of my naive son-in-law, Adong. Get up, Adong, what happened in a hurry? Is it? It made you so flustered!"

Li Weidong nodded, and Zheng Guanxi and Shu Wenqing let go of Adong.A Dong stood up and said: "Patriarch Wang, patriarch Wang, something is wrong, something is wrong, sir, something is wrong, something is wrong."

The patriarch of the royal family was startled: "What happened, please speak slowly!"

That Adong's facial expression was very exaggerated, but he whispered: "The eldest young mistress has an accident..."

"Something happened to Tweety, what happened, you should hurry up and tell me!" The patriarch Wang was in a hurry, and Li Weidong could tell that this Tweety was probably the patriarch Wang's daughter.

"Last evening, a group of Marshal Zhang's soldiers suddenly came to Gaoxin Village. They also brought some Orientals. Because the officers leading the team had contacts with our Gao family, the uncle allowed them to enter the village without thinking twice. No idea, no idea..."

What else is there, these Japanese soldiers went to China on an expedition, and naturally they didn't come to help the poor, so the uncle's beautiful daughter-in-law was naturally ruined by the little devil, and then the husband was naturally beaten by these birth groups, and the woman was unbearable Insulting the scene of hanging himself.

"That bastard Gao Qiang, why is he so useless, when I entrusted my daughter to him, he, he..." Patriarch Wang suddenly vomited blood and passed out.

Li Weidong couldn't care less after seeing it. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed A Dong's collar and said, "Are they still in Gaoxin Village now? How many people are there in total?"

A Dong surprised the patriarch Wang and Li Weidong, but he still said with certainty: "My uncle just asked me to call for rescuers. He planned to bring the strong men in the village to fight with them. They are still there. I don’t care about my uncle because of having a gun. There are about 200 people in Marshal Zhang’s team here, and there are about 50 people in the Eastern Army. My uncle probably can’t do it, so I asked me to call in reinforcements...”

"Okay, got it, you lead the way, we'll go with you" Li Weidong interrupted A Dong's endless chatter and repetition, and then shouted loudly: "Notice, let the brothers get up for me, fuck you and follow me! "

All the more than 150 brothers of the Ninth Company gathered at the entrance of the village, and then they were about to set off.At this time, the royal patriarch had come to his senses. He heard that the army that came last night was going to fight the devils, so he immediately asked his son to help him out: "Company Commander Li, Chief Li, I heard that you are going to fight the devils to avenge the old girl. I have nothing to repay, I can only kowtow to you and your gang of heroes."

After speaking, the royal patriarch knelt down and kowtowed, and Li Weidong was shocked beyond measure.Before he could stop the royal patriarch, he could only take a deep breath and shout to the assembled officers and soldiers: "Brothers, do you know? Just less than six miles away from us, a group of shameless traitors and little Japanese are killing us Our compatriots, insulting our sisters, the daughter of the royal patriarch was ruined by the little devil, should we settle the score with these beasts, and pay back the blood debt for the royal patriarch."

"Yes, kill these bastards!" The soldiers became agitated after being incited by the royal patriarch's kneeling and the company commander's words. . .

Chapter 449 The First Shot ([-])

"Quick, quick, keep up, keep up" Li Weidong kept urging the team to speed up, as if he was afraid that the devils in Gaoxinzhuang would run away.

Zheng Guanxi just ran to Li Weidong at this time, and immediately reminded with a smile: "Commander, we don't need to run so fast. If we run too fast, it will affect our combat effectiveness later. When we chased Feng Guozhang back then, Because I ran too hard, I almost failed to hold the position."

Li Weidong was taken aback, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zheng Guanxi, a well-known veteran in the company. He laughed and scolded: "You flower picker who robs civilian women, you are the only one with a lot of experience, if I hadn't raided Feng Guozhang's headquarters and let this old boy run away , where is it your turn for the grandsons of the second division to have the opportunity to fight the chase? Okay, you old fritters, let go as soon as possible if you have any farts?"

Zheng Guanxi, who is usually very indifferent, actually smiled and said: "You can say it, but company commander, if you win this battle, you have to loosen your broken rules. If my old Zheng wants to drink again, you are not allowed to punish him again." I."

Li Weidong came up from the lowest level, so he naturally refused to take this set and cursed loudly: "Stop talking around here, talk to me about conditions, I won't take this set, hurry up and say it!"

"It's very simple. Your old man asked me, Lao Zheng, to take a group of brothers to the front station to check the situation. You lead the large team to walk slowly. It's only less than ten miles away. You can climb it before dawn no matter how you climb. Let's make a surprise attack and catch them off guard while they are asleep."

Li Weidong thought for a while, this method is fine.So he immediately called Ah Dong over to give instructions. . .

"Squad leader Zheng, this is my uncle." Following A Dong's eyes, Zheng Guanxi, who has always boasted of being bold, couldn't help being taken aback.A middle-aged man with red and swollen eyes was standing less than 200 meters away from Gaoxinzhuang with a kitchen knife in his hand.

It's a pity that this man named Gao Qiang didn't realize that he was surrounded by more than 20 men from the village, all of whom were men from his own family. What happened last night completely ruined his life.However, this man remained calm despite his rage. At least he didn't foolishly take more than 20 men from his family to find those beasts who defiled his wife. He was really ashamed to see his father-in-law himself.

"A Dong, you're back, what did my father-in-law say? Who are these soldiers following you?" Gao Qiang's tone sounded almost like a dead person.

A Dong hurriedly replied: "Master, these are the youth troops from the south. They said they came to our Shandong to fight against the small Japanese and the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces. The young ones happened to meet when they arrived in Dawangjia Village. They were entrusted by Mr. Wang. He came here to avenge the young mistress."

Gao Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he jumped up and said, "Okay, then let's do it now, I'm going to hack Liu Dongqiang to death with my own hands, that bastard Liu Dongqiang, who actually brought a little devil to insult my wife, I'm a bastard if I don't eat him alive Egg..."

Zheng Guanxi and the others were so bluffed that they quickly covered their mouths, snatched the knife, and threw them directly on the ground to crush them to death. The traitor soldiers woke up.

Zheng Guanxi said to Gao Qiang with a Shandong accent: "My fellow, we all know about you, don't worry, let's kill these bastards together later, I need your help now, the big troops are behind, at this time Let's not let these bastards get ready, as soon as the big troops arrive, we will scoop them up."

Gao Qiang's chest rose and fell sharply, and it took him a while to control his emotions, and he blinked at Zheng Guanxi cooperatively, and Zheng Guanxi let go.

At this time, Shu Wenqing volunteered to take people to investigate in the village, but was immediately stopped by Gao Qiang: "Little brother, there is no need to inquire. I know their situation best. There are 120 traitors in the Zhishan coalition army. All of them live in the ancestral hall of our Gao family, and 49 of the beasts in Little Japan live in my house. Squad leader Zheng, I am a beast, and I have transferred the mother and children to my uncle. Well, I originally planned that as soon as my father-in-law's hand arrives, I will quietly lead someone to set it on fire. This house is gone, and I don't want the house either, and burn these bastards to death..."

Come on, stop talking, Zheng Guanxi hurriedly interrupted the powerful demon who was gnashing his teeth and talking about the murder plan there, turned his head and said to Shu Wenqing: "I will bring a few brothers here to monitor, you and Xiao Liu will go back immediately and arrest the company commander. They brought..."

Twenty minutes later, Li Weidong came up with Jiulian, and rushed to Zheng Guanxi's side: "Old Zheng, what's the situation?"

Zheng Guanxi tilted his neck and said, "Hey, this is Gao Qiang, the son-in-law of the patriarch Wang. He knows the situation in the village like the back of his hand."

"Yes, sir, I'll take you there later, burn my house down, and make all those small Japans into roast mice," Gao Qiang said excitedly.

"Don't, don't, don't worry about burning it, you treat the guy in our hand as a fire stick, wait and see, I will catch you later, let you kill..." Zheng Guanxi interrupted Gao Qiang if.

At this time, Liu Dongqiang, the company commander of the Zhishan Allied Army, was not asleep. He was playing mahjong with some of his platoon leaders.A few years ago when Zhang Zongchang called, this kid immediately gathered a group of people to join the Zhi-Shandong Allied Army. After two years, he became a company commander. This is also the characteristic of the Zhi-Shandong Allied Army. You can be as big as you can recruit. official.

However, the combat effectiveness and equipment of the troops expanded in this way are not very good. The money Zhang Zongchang has on hand is generally used to arm the direct line troops except for his own squandering.And Liu Dongqiang's non-direct lineage is basically a money-making group. It's okay if you let them steal, eat, drink, whore and gamble, but if you let them have a little foresight to buy some new weapons, I'm sorry, I don't have the spare money.

Therefore, there are more than 120 people in the entire company, and there are no more than 40 rifles, and the rest are either bird guns or broadswords.There is basically no heavy firepower. The box cannon on Liu Dongqiang's body is considered to be the most powerful firepower in the entire company. This kind of force is naturally limited in deterrence against the sturdy Shandong people, so many people Gao Xinzhuang's high strength is one of them. Xinzhuang's Gao surname is the patriarch.On weekdays, Liu Dongqiang would stay in the town and do his best, but the surrounding villages with powerful clans did not dare to come out.This time it was different. With the support of the 50-member Japanese army, Captain Mao Li, Liu Dongqiang really had a lot of courage.Moreover, he clearly knew that after Gao Qiang's death his wife married a young and beautiful wife, so he intentionally brought Captain Maoli in, and as a result Gao Wang was raped and then hanged himself.Then Liu Dongqiang took the opportunity to beat up Gao Qiang and drive him out, and took the opportunity to steal Gao's house, land, gold and silver for himself.With money in hand, the gambler Liu Dongqiang naturally wants to practice his luck.

I don't know if this thing was done too lowly and morally tonight, anyway, Liu Dongqiang didn't win even at this time.The officers who played mahjong with him are already yawning again and again, because they have already won all the company commander's money, and now they should win again. What's the point of that.However, this company commander Liu has a red eye, and he won't let them go without saying anything. Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, this card is not easy to play.

"Liu Lianchang, let's play this card. The brothers are all tired, and we have to continue westward with the imperial army tomorrow."

"Fart, I don't believe this anymore. I haven't played any cards. I..." Before Liu Dongqiang finished speaking, the door was kicked open, and dozens of soldiers rushed in. Liu Dongqiang was about to open the door. Cursed, but found that they were different from myself in yellow uniforms, all in blue military uniforms.Blue military uniform?Liu Dongqiang's face changed drastically. Grandma's, isn't that the legendary youth army of the Southern Nationalist Government?Liu Dongqiang immediately realized that there was a lot of trouble.He immediately knelt down and shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, please forgive me! I have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. I..."
