Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Whether the Japanese surrender or not, they will die, so they drag the common people down with them."

"But we don't have any good solution right now."

"What do you think of the resistance of the devils in the city?"

Lin Tian then asked again.

"Their will to resist is not that high. They have come into contact with us before, but when they heard that we are from the same division, they didn't dare to surrender..." Fang Zheng said with a wry smile.

"What about the Locust Association? The Locust Association certainly doesn't want to follow the Japanese to die. We can turn a blind eye to the Locust Association as long as they haven't harmed the common people." Lin Tian touched his chin and thought for a while, then asked again.

"Speaking of the Locust Alliance, there are actually a few people who have expressed their intention to surrender."

"It's like this. Chang County is the 20th Mixed Brigade of the Locust Army. The leader is Zuo Guo."

"He sent someone to say he was willing to surrender, but the Japanese were watching closely, so he didn't have the chance."

Fang Zheng replied.

They had besieged Chang County for two days. The Locust Army was already scared to death, and when they heard that it was a division coming, they dared not fight them.

They are just trying to make a living. Asking them to go to the battlefield to fight against a division that even the Japanese cannot defeat would be courting death.

How can their fighting power compare to that of the devils...

"Okay, since their brigade commander has this intention, it will be much easier to deal with."

"Send someone to tell them that we have a lot of evidence of their crimes. If you want to spare their lives, just surrendering is not enough. We don't accept idiots."

"If they can start an uprising in the city, seize the Japanese' weapons while they are not paying attention, or kill them directly, we can forgive them for what happened in the past and give them credit for their achievements."

"We can also send a few people to help them."

Lin Tian thought for a while and decided that the Locust Army was a breakthrough point. A Japanese garrison regiment had only a little over 3,000 people and not many heavy weapons. Its combat effectiveness was definitely not as good as that of an ordinary Japanese infantry regiment.

A mixed brigade of the Locust Association must have at least 6,000 people, twice the number of the Japanese.

Moreover, the more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were not concentrated together, but were scattered in various fortifications in Chang County.

This is even more fragmented.

There may be dozens of Japanese soldiers in important fortifications, but there may only be a few Japanese soldiers in ordinary fortifications.

If the Locust Army could really revolt, it would not be very difficult.

When it got dark, Fang Zheng ordered his troops to pretend to retreat, so that the Japanese would surely let down their guard.

This is the opportunity.

"Okay, we agreed before that they will send someone over to discuss this at lunch time in the afternoon."

"It's past five o'clock now, and their people will be here soon."

Fang Zheng glanced at his watch and said with a smile.

If the commander's plan succeeds, Chang County could be captured without bloodshed.

The people held hostage by the devils will now be safe.

……

"Laizi, remember, when you get to Master Ba, you must fight for a way out for the brothers. No matter what they say, you must agree first, and we can discuss it later."

"The devils have been watching me very closely lately, so you better be careful."

"Go through the tunnel when you go out, don't let the devil find you."

Chang County, headquarters of the 20th Mixed Brigade of the Locust Association Army.

Brigade Commander Zuo Guo had sweat pouring down his forehead. He pulled open his collar and spoke to one of his men who had a bald spot on his neck.

"Remember, Brother Zuo, don't worry, I will talk to Master Ba nicely." Laizi nodded.

He also wanted to live, but he heard that the First Division would not spare any of the Locust Army members who had harmed the common people, and would shoot them directly after questioning them.

This is too scary. If I had known earlier, I would have been tougher and not become a traitor.

Now I am in a dilemma and am neither popular nor welcome.

"Zuo Sang, you are such a bad person, your conscience is so bad!"

Suddenly, a Japanese lieutenant walked in from outside the door. However, this Japanese lieutenant was a little drunk...

Zuo Guo and Lai Zi's hearts skipped a beat. Why was this guy here? Didn't they ask the people below to keep an eye on him?

How did this get out?

From what the devil said, could it be that their conversation just now was discovered?

This is how to do?

Zuo Guo and Lai Zi were sweating profusely, and their lips turned white from nervousness.

Zuo Guo quickly stood up to greet him.

"Hey, Nozuka-kun... Nozuka-tai-kun, what are you talking about? I strongly support the Locust Army."

Zuo Guo smiled flatteringly, but the smile was somewhat unnatural.

"No, no, no, I said your conscience is bad, then it's bad!"

Nozuka kept patting Zuo Guo's shoulders with his big hands, mumbling something, and reeking of alcohol, which made Zuo Guo feel uncomfortable.

"You! You have so much good wine, why are you giving it to me now?"

"Zuo Sang, isn't your conscience bad enough?"

Ye Zhong staggered, looked at Zuo Guo with a dazed look, and said unsatisfiedly.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Guo and Lai Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Zuo Guo gave a look, Lai Zi nodded, and left quickly.

"Oh, it's all my fault. I was too stingy before. Nozuka-kun, it's only in the half month since we've been together that I realized I should have met you too late."

"If I hadn't been so busy with official duties and needed to be vigilant against the Eighth Route Army, I would have been drinking with you long ago."

"Look, these are three gold bars. I gave them to you as a gift."

Zuo Guo is also a veteran, and not just anyone can be the brigade commander of the Locust Association.

Of course he is good at fooling the Japanese.

This Ye Zhong was addicted to alcohol and money. He was often drunk and robbed people of their property everywhere.

If the Japs weren't short of manpower this time, they wouldn't have sent this idiot to monitor Zuo Guo.

"Yoshi!"

"Yoshi!"

"Zuo Sang, you have a great conscience!"

Sure enough, after seeing the three golden bars, Nozuka's originally cloudy eyes immediately brightened up. He put the gold bars into his pocket and said happily.

"As long as Nozuka-tai-kun likes it..."

Zuo Guoxin's heart was bleeding, but he still had a greedy smile on his face.

Three gold bars! How much ammunition would he have to sell to the guerrillas to earn that much?

His heart is bleeding...

"Taijun, I have another bottle of good wine here. This is the best Fenjiu, 50 years old. Would you like to take it back and try it?"

Zuo Guo looked constipated again. He took out a bottle of Fenjiu wrapped in several layers of brown paper from behind his cabinet and presented it to Ye Zhong as a gift.

He spent a lot of money to connect with the Eighth Route Army.

I have given that bastard Nozuka 20 gold bars in the past few days...

This is the capital he will use to settle down at home after surrendering...

So it was given to Nozuka.

"Yoshi! Big Yoshi!"

"I'm going back to drink, you watch out for the Eighth Route Army!"

Nozuka picked up the bottle and took a deep breath. The aroma was intoxicating and he couldn't wait to go back and taste it.

After giving a symbolic explanation, Nozuka staggered out with the wine bottle in his arms.

"Please take care... take care, Madam."

Zuo Guo stood outside the door and wanted to kill Ye Zhong.

Just wait for me!
