Devil's Army

At this time, the soldiers came to report that the 54th Regiment of the 338th Division had arrived at the outskirts of the 54th Division headquarters and surrounded us.

Although the 54th Regiment of the 338th Division and the Division Guard had nearly soldiers, the regiment led by Deputy Regiment Commander He had less than soldiers. But Deputy Regiment Commander He and his men were not timid at all.

These 1000-plus soldiers had crawled through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood of the Japanese army, so how could they be afraid of these 3000-plus mobs?

Deputy Regiment Commander He ordered the soldiers to shout to the 54th Regiment of the 338th Division, asking them to retreat immediately, otherwise they would blow up the 54th Division headquarters.

At this time, Division Commander Kong ordered the 337th and 339th Regiments to move closer to their division headquarters.

The commander of the first brigade led the second regiment to surround the 338th Regiment and placed the four 75mm mountain guns in the regiment in front of the position.

The dispute between the two armies was about to get out of control. Commander Tan of the 195th Division immediately rushed over with the 1131st Regiment to mediate.

"Kong Hechong, if you don't release my people, I will order the artillery to blow up your division headquarters." Deputy Regiment Commander He shouted at the 54th Division Command.

Kong Hechong called his superior, Commander Yang of the 20th Army, and asked him to help him out.

Commander Yang also couldn't stand Kong Hechong's usual behavior, so he asked Kong Hechong:

"Commander Kong, you arrested a group of soldiers from the First Army. You said they were Communists. Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes, the way they persuaded the people to join the army is very similar to the Communist Party's red propaganda."

"Nonsense! The country is in crisis right now, and you think encouraging the people to join the army is red propaganda? I think you walk more like a communist."

"Captain Yang, why do I walk like a Communist?" Kong Hechong has been "abandoning the dark and joining the light" for so many years, and has captured and killed many Communists. Why does his superior say that he walks like a Communist?

"Because you walk on two feet just like them."

"Commander Yang, what should we do now?"

"Hurry up and release him!" Commander Yang hung up the phone. If it weren't for the urgent need for troops to fight the Japanese, he really didn't want Kong Hechong, this fool.

At this time, a mortar shell whizzed and hit in front of the 54th Division headquarters.

Master Kong's confidant ran over in a panic, shouting as he ran:

"Commander, Commander, they really opened fire."

"Crazy, a bunch of crazy people. Let them go!"

Kong Hechong also started to panic.

A group of soldiers from the 54th Regiment of the 338th Division on the periphery heard the sound of mortar explosions coming from the division headquarters and immediately rushed forward to surround it.

"Boom!"

All that was heard was the explosion of a 75mm mountain artillery shell behind the 338th Regiment.

Several soldiers from the 338th Regiment were so frightened that they lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, not daring to move.

Then the commander of the regiment shouted to the soldiers of the 338th Regiment:

"This is a test fire and also a warning. If you dare to take another step forward, the next round of shells will fall next to you."

Kong Hechong straightened his military uniform, followed the guards escorting the conscription team, and said to Deputy Regiment Commander He with a smile:

"Isn't this Deputy Head He? It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We have already found out that it is a misunderstanding."

"Wait!" The deputy regiment commander stopped the 12 soldiers of the conscription team who were walking towards them and said to Kong Hechong:

"Master Kong, you beat my men like this, and you're going to let it go just because of a misunderstanding?"

"Does Deputy Captain He have any suggestions?" Kong Hechong asked with a low smile.

"We soldiers are so injured, we have to go to the hospital and spend some money on medical treatment, right?"

"How much does Deputy Captain He want?"

"100 yuan per person, 12 people is 1200 yuan. We have come to your division headquarters with a large force to be your guests, you can give us another 300 yuan, a total of 1500 yuan."

Kong Hechong had a dark face and said nothing.

"Artillery ready!" Deputy Regiment Commander He gestured to the four mortar soldiers behind him, and the artillery soldiers immediately prepared to load ammunition.

"Here, here. These are the compensations we should give you for the mistakes we made at work."

After a while, Deputy Regiment Commander He took the money and led his conscription team and soldiers to withdraw from the headquarters of the 54th Division in a line.

The soldiers of the 54th Regiment of the 338th Division did not dare to stop them and immediately made way for Deputy Regiment Commander He and his men to pass.

After Deputy Commander He and his men left, the commander of the 54th Regiment of the 338th Division came to Commander Kong and asked:

"Commander, are they really members of the Communist Party? Why aren't they afraid of disrupting the united resistance against Japan?"

"I think they are more like bandits. They start shooting and firing cannons if they disagree with something." Commander Kong shook his head and said.

When Commander Kong turned around, he saw his confidant standing beside him, still trembling. He was so angry that he kicked him down and cursed:

"What a waste! It cost me 1500 dollars in one fell swoop."

The confidant was kicked to the ground and dared not speak.

He originally wanted to capture a few Communists and get rewarded together with Commander Kong, but he hit a wall this time.

As soon as the First Regiment Commander and Deputy Regiment Commander He left the 54th Division headquarters, they met the 195th Division Commander Qin who came to mediate.

"Commander Qin, you were alarmed by such a small matter. Come on, I will treat you to a meal and apologize to you!" The regiment commander took Commander Qin's hand and walked towards the restaurant.
