Chapter 111 Pull the first and second battalions into the water (three thousand words chapter)
At the headquarters of the National Salvation Army of Zhangzhuang Town, Huang Yonggui got into Wang Dehou's office as soon as he came back.
"Commander, the matter of intercepting the weapons, ammunition and Dayang of the Third Battalion was resolved. After Zhou Cheng took the medicine, he not only had no complaints, but also was grateful to us. In addition, I went to the Third Battalion and brought back an unexpected surprise!" Huang Yonggui reported excitedly.
Wang Dehou was also very happy.
The ten rifles and supporting ammunition intercepted by the headquarters were indeed used to expand the troops, but there were no fifty oceans, and all of them were put into his and Huang Yonggui's pockets.
He said to himself: "This kid Zhou Cheng is quite sensible in the current affairs. He must meet him if he has the chance."
"It's not only a pity for such a person to fight, but also be greedy for money, power, and know the current affairs. If you can tie him up with us, it will definitely bring us great benefits. If you have the chance, I must have a good contact with him, see his ideas, and find a way to win over him."
After several contacts, Huang Yonggui was completely out of alert for Zhou Cheng and agreed with this idea very much: "I think it would be great if I could try it. It would be great if it could be used for me."
Speaking of this, Huang Yonggui suddenly thought of the good news he had just brought back, and his eyes lit up and reminded: "Commander, there is a chance in front of us now."
Wang Dehou immediately asked: "It's just that you said unexpectedly??"
Huang Yonggui nodded: "The Guerrillas had fought many wars with the Japanese before they were reorganized into the National Salvation Army, and seized a large number of broken 38 covers and crooked hands. Zhou Cheng was very clever. Not only did he take away all the broken weapons, but he also collected the nameplate for killing the Japanese."
"This kid told me today that he wanted to cooperate with the headquarters to create a raid, and to use these things as evidence of our elimination of the Japanese and puppet troops to his superiors for requesting merit."
"I thought about it and just arrange the fire exchange location, direct and act in a battle there, and then send the nameplate representing the Japanese's identity and those broken weapons. I can't find any problem even if I want to check it."
"Destroying more than 120 Japanese devils in one battle is not an ordinary military achievement."
"After the operation is done, we will definitely make a name for our pacification of the National Salvation Army, and the rewards will be very generous."
"Zhou Cheng said that no matter how many oceans and weapons and ammunition are rewarded by the Shangfeng, they will all be 50% off for us. He took half of them and the remaining half will be returned to the headquarters."
"The only condition is that the medicine cannot be moved, and half of the medicine supplies must be taken away from one or two battalions."
Wang Dehou only has money and power in his eyes. As for the life and death of the soldiers under his command, he doesn't care.
There are many people in China, and they can recruit soldiers with guns in their hands.
He didn't care at all whether the wounded had medicine to treat the wounded. He died if he died. At worst, he could recruit new recruits.
To take a step back, even if the medicines that Zhou Cheng was leaving were handed to the battalion commander of the 1st and 2nd Battalion, at least 80% of them would be resold by them and would not be used by the wounded soldiers.
Instead of asking the two battalion commanders to resell medicines and fill their personal bags, it is better to take them out and make up for Zhou Cheng and exchange them for the real money and weapons and ammunition he likes from him.
Wang Dehou calculated the deal very clearly and made a decisive decision: "Isn't it just medicine? Zhou Cheng gave it to him if he wants it. In the face of weapons, ammunition and real money, that little medicine is nothing?"
"But it must be carried out in secret, and the first and second battalions cannot be discovered."
"You claim to the public that the medicines you supply to us at the peak are half less than before, and they only have half of them."
"As for the matter of using what Zhou Cheng has in exchange for military achievements, I agree, you are responsible for contacting him and strive to fight a war tonight. I will report my military achievements tomorrow during the day, the faster the better."
"The Japanese in Pingding City have been in and out these days and must have received a lot of supplies. I guess they will send troops to attack us within half a month."
"If we report our military achievements earlier, we will be able to receive the rewards and supplies from the top as soon as possible. The stronger the army will be, the easier it will be to defeat the first attack of the Japanese on us."
When Wang Dehou was the head of the security team, Huang Yonggui was his deputy and his well-deserved confidant.
When he decided to go deep into the enemy's back and became the commander of the National Salvation Army, in order to get Huang Yonggui's support, Wang Dehou specifically told him his idea of going deep into the enemy's back and forth.
Surprisingly, the two people's ideas coincided.
After arriving at the National Salvation Army, one was still the commander and the other was the chief of staff, and they cooperated with each other.
So he knew better than anyone else about the commander's plan to surrender to the Japanese in the future.
Since the National Salvation Army will surrender to the Japanese sooner or later, and now they are beaten too hard, will it affect the impression of the National Salvation Army in the hearts of the Japanese and cause trouble for the future resignation of the Japanese?
Huang Yonggui quickly expressed his worries, and his brows became deeper and deeper. He couldn't understand what the commander was thinking, and he actually gave such an order. Isn't this embarrassing himself?
Wang Dehou shook his head: "Chief of Staff, my thoughts are completely opposite to yours."
"I have the idea of surrendering to the Japanese when I have no way out in the future to save my brothers' lives and status, but this cannot be done overnight."
"When we really get to that point, the stronger the strength we show, the more the Japanese will pay attention to us and give us more benefits and high officials and generous salaries."
"If we don't have the strength and the National Salvation Army is too poor in combat, the Japanese may not pay attention to us if they take the initiative to send them to their door."
"If the Japanese want to recognize us, the easiest way is to repel their attack on the battlefield."
Huang Yonggui was convinced: "Commander Yingming, I will set out now to ensure that the battle of the Third Battalion will be successfully launched tonight?"
To pacify the west of the city, a unit was smearing and advancing under the darkness of the night.
Zhou Cheng walked in the middle of the team, following Xiang Feng, who had already become the commander of the 7th Company of the National Salvation Army.
"Battery Commander, we really won't fight the Japanese tonight, we just come out to perform a show for them?" This is the third time Xiang Feng asked this question along the way. Cheng Cheng laughed but said nothing in the first two weeks.
Just when Xiang Feng thought the battalion commander was still not going to answer him, and a hint of disappointment slowly appeared on his face, Zhou Cheng finally spoke.
"When did you see me leading my troops out with great fanfare and finally returning empty-handed?"
Just one sentence revealed that Zhou Cheng’s actions tonight were not as simple as he saw on the surface.
Xiang Feng laughed as soon as he heard this, and the disappointed expression on his face was wiped out. He stared at Zhou Cheng with his eyes lit up and asked, "Then where will we fight?"
"Before leaving, I learned about the enemy situation here. There are two Japanese strongholds around, and the garrisons are all over 100!"
"Including a Japanese infantry squad and a company of the Imperial Army."
"We brought grenade launchers and heavy machine guns. As long as we were well prepared, we would definitely be able to capture one of the strongholds."
After saying that, Xiang Feng looked at Zhou Cheng with a eager expression, ready to give orders.
The result was disappointing. After Xiang Feng finished speaking, Zhou Chengru began to shake his head, and then decisively deny it: "We can't hold a stronghold tonight!"
"Whether it is our third battalion or the other two battalions of the National Salvation Army, we are speeding up the time to expand the troops. The newly recruits who have just replenished their troops have almost no combat effectiveness and need a lot of time to train before they can recover their combat effectiveness."
"During this period, we won't fight if we can't fight with the Japanese, so that this balance will last as long as possible."
"If the attack on the strongholds angered the Japanese in the county, broke the balance between the enemy and us, and sent troops to attack us in advance, it would be more than worth the loss."
Apart from the two strongholds I just mentioned, there are only some traitors left, and there are no other enemies.
The first attack target was rejected by the battalion commander, and that was definitely the second one.
Ask quickly: "Attack and fight against the nearby traitors!"
Zhou Cheng finally nodded: "Picking up the persimmons and pinching them, beating the traitors will not cause excessive reactions from the Japanese, and it can also seize a large amount of supplies, so why not do it?"
“But one thing to pay attention to.”
"After fighting the traitor, everyone must declare to the outside world that they are the soldiers of the First and Second Battalions of the National Salvation Army, and they must not reveal the number of the Third Battalion."
Xiang Feng glared at his eyes and shouted unwillingly: "Why? I can't figure out why we have to give them the military achievements we have worked hard to fight!"
After saying that, I kept a close eye on Zhou Cheng, hoping that he could give himself a reasonable explanation.
Otherwise, even if you execute the order, you will be dissatisfied.
Zhou Chenghui glared at Xiang Feng: "You are just a stubborn mind and don't know how to turn."
"Think about it carefully, is it important to eliminate dozens of Japanese devils' military achievements, or to make a fortune in silence."
"If the Japanese knew that the traitors were killed by the First and Second Battalions of the National Salvation Army, what do you think the Japanese would do?"
Xiang Feng understood a little, frowned and analyzed: "There are faults and debts, and the Japanese will definitely keep this account in the first and second camps and ignore us."
"Then our goal will be achieved!" Zhou Cheng replied happily.
"In addition to acting tonight, the most important task is to pull the first and second battalions into the water, so that the devils in the county will also hold them a grudge."
"Otherwise, when the Japanese send troops to attack the National Salvation Army, they will only attack us, not the First and Second Battalions, then we will be under great pressure."
"Since we are all part of the National Salvation Army, we must have difficulties and share blessings. We cannot just think about sharing the military achievements from us, taking advantage of the benefits, and not suffering losses."
Xiang Feng completely understood that the battalion commander wanted to frame him.
On the surface, they were divided into military achievements for the first and second battalions, but in fact they were causing trouble for them and sharing the pressure brought by the Japanese and puppet troops in the county to the third battalion.
Hurry up and make sure: "Don't worry, battalion commander, I will tell you all when you act."
"We are affiliated with the First Battalion of the National Salvation Army. We were ordered to enter the enemy-occupied area to kill traitors and fight Japanese devils, and have nothing to do with the Third Battalion."
Zhou Cheng nodded with approval, and then began to give orders: "You lead the first and second platoons of the Seventh Company, pretend to be the first battalion of the National Saving Army. I will take the remaining people to pretend to be the second battalion of the National Saving Army, and now we will start to divide the troops."
"We attacked a local armed force by one, ended the battle within three hours, and then rushed to Xiao Lizhuang to meet up, where we performed for the Japanese."
