Suzhou.

The Zhongjiu Army held a public trial in the evening of the day they occupied Suzhou.

It shouldn't have happened so quickly, but who could have made these stupid traitors gather together? When the Loyal Rescue Army rushed into Suzhou, these people were still discussing how to support the "Imperial Army" outside the city, but they were wiped out in one fell swoop.

The only regret was that the chairman of the maintenance association Zhou Jixian and the chief of the Japanese puppet police station escaped before the magic troops descended from the sky, otherwise the whole thing would have been perfect.

Xu Baichuan stood on a rooftop outside the crowd, observing the makeshift platform with a telescope. Looking at the traitor on the platform, who was trembling with dejected expression, he said to himself:
"Kill some and leave some alive. Brother Anping is really an expert at attacking people's hearts!"

This method was first proposed by Zhang Anping.

According to Xu Baichuan's previous idea, all traitors caught should be shot, but Zhang Anping believed that killing alone would not solve the problem. He proposed to shoot the traitors who committed heinous crimes, and leave the others alive.

This method has been tried in several small counties that have been conquered, but it is the first time it has been tried in a large city. However, based on the experience of the small counties, although these traitors who were lucky enough to survive continued to work for the Japanese after the city changed hands, most of them learned the principle of "leaving a way out for others so that they can meet again in the future", and they no longer worked for the Japanese wholeheartedly like before.

And through these traitors, the Loyalist Army can also obtain more intelligence channels.

On the makeshift platform, as the military judge announced the verdict, eleven traitors whose names were named were carried out by the soldiers of the Loyalty Rescue Army. They used to show off their might in front of the common people and fawn on the Japanese, but now they were like dead dogs. Some of them even had their shit and urine all over their bodies before they even entered the adjacent execution ground.

At the executioner's command, the sound of gun bolts being pulled in unison was heard, and the people held their breath, waiting for the gunshot.

"kill!"

With the clear sound of commands and the sound of gunfire, eleven extremely heinous traitors died collectively in the Northwest in front of countless Suzhou people.

The traitors who were forced to watch the execution turned pale and trembled continuously as the gunshots sounded.

Xu Baichuan watched the reactions of these traitors through a telescope, and when he saw their lucky expressions as they breathed a sigh of relief, he revealed a playful smile.

[Do you think this is the end? This is just the beginning! ]

The biggest purpose of executing traitors is to deter other traitors. Before the day of reckoning comes, the only way to deal with the numerous traitors is to use deterrence.

"I really hope that one day I can personally lead the reckoning of these scums!"

Xu Baichuan muttered quietly, then turned around - Suzhou was taken, but it was impossible to hold on to it. While the Japanese were chasing the Fourth Rebellion Division, they had to quickly replenish the "logistics" for the Zhongjiu Army, and then continue to "walk" the Japanese around the world.

Xu Baichuan thought he could stay in Suzhou for three to five days, but he did not expect that both the Japanese and the newly established Wang Puppet Regime were extremely embarrassed about the loss of Suzhou. Under the premise that Shanghai was unable to send personnel to capture Suzhou, they directly chose to send troops from Nanjing and rushed towards Suzhou with great momentum.

If it wasn't too late that day, they might have sent out the troops at that time.

Facing at least eight thousand enemies, although Xu Baichuan was confident that he could easily stop them, this was an occupied area. The enemy could send unlimited reinforcements, but the Loyalty Army he led could not defend indefinitely.

Therefore, Xu Baichuan ordered the blocking troops to block the enemy for only one day, while the main force led by him quietly evacuated Suzhou on the night of the 31st.

On April 4, the Japanese and puppet forces occupied Suzhou again.

As soon as Suzhou was occupied, newspapers in the occupied areas widely publicized that thousands of the Loyalty Rescue Army were killed and countless prisoners were captured in the battle to retake Suzhou. However, the Beijing-Shanghai area specifically distributed leaflets that night, stating that it was the Loyalty Rescue Army that voluntarily gave up Suzhou without losing a single soldier.

The slap in the face made the Japanese propaganda department jump up and down.

……

The Fourth Division of the Uprising.

Liu Xinjie was in charge of the uprising and led the uprising troops, which had made great contributions in the March 30th Uprising, to march towards the Kuomintang-controlled area.

Hu Guofei, a core member of the uprising and currently serving as the head of the Provisional 1st Regiment, came over angrily:
"Commander Liu, we have captured four deserters. What should we do with them?"

Although the Fourth Division of the Uprising made great contributions in this operation, most of the soldiers were coerced and passively participated in the uprising.

For this long-distance transfer, Liu Xinjie informed them in advance that they would be moving towards Kaihua, so some of the rebel soldiers wanted to escape.

[What a pity…]

Liu Xinjie sighed secretly, thinking that if he was leading the New Fourth Army troops, those political cadres would definitely be able to do a good job in the ideological construction of these people.

Although the Songhu Column led by him had strict military discipline and strong combat effectiveness, it was not our party's army after all, and there were no political cadres who could win the hearts of the people!
He asked calmly:

"What do you want to do about it?"

Hu Guofei answered without hesitation: "Shoot him! Kill him as a warning to others!"

Liu Xinjie shook his head: "Can't kill!"

"They are deserters!"

"Escapers cannot be killed either!" Liu Xinjie's voice became a little higher, and then he said in a gentle tone:

"Captain Hu, I know you are angry about these soldiers running away, but after all, they have fought for us - every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country, but when they are muddle-headed, can you blame them for not fulfilling their responsibilities?"

In fact, Liu Xinjie wanted to say that they were essentially puppet troops, but because of Hu Guofei's identity, he changed his wording for fear of causing misunderstanding on the other side.

Hu Guofei felt mainly ashamed, but Liu Xinjie's words made him feel more open-minded, so he nodded.

Liu Xinjie then said:
"Inform the entire army. Anyone who wants to leave will be given 10 yuan in severance pay. You can leave your weapons behind and go!"

"Ah?" Hu Guofei was shocked. "How could this be possible? Aren't you afraid that they will all leave?"

Liu Xinjie smiled and said:
"We are going to fight the devils! For this great country, we must fight the invaders to the end. If the team is not united, how can the combat effectiveness be improved?"

"Eliminating some of those who have no goals and no country in their hearts, although the number of people has decreased, the combat effectiveness will not necessarily decrease!"

"Captain Hu, don't worry. Although some people are muddle-headed, the vast majority of them are willing to live an upright life!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Although Hu Guofei was somewhat unhappy, he still carried out Liu Xinjie's order.

After receiving orders from the division headquarters, the other four regiments had similar reactions to Hu Guofei.

Although I didn't understand it, I executed it anyway.

After a whole day, out of the nearly 5,000 soldiers in the Fourth Uprising Division, about 400 people chose to leave - this ratio was much better than Liu Xinjie had expected. It seemed that after fighting with the Japanese, most of the soldiers in the Fourth Uprising Division had at least learned to hold their heads high.

Although this order delayed the process for some time, it brought about a significant change in the spirit of the Fourth Uprising Division, and it also temporarily solved the internal problems of the Fourth Uprising Division.

The internal problems have been solved, but the external problems are very serious.

It was obvious that the Japanese hated the 4th Division that had rebelled. Although Zhang Anping led several squadrons of the Songhu Column to bluff around Shanghai in an attempt to tie up most of the devils, the Japanese ignored them and concentrated their forces to pursue them.

Liu Xinjie deliberately set up a confusing formation and led his team to evacuate towards Taihu Lake. After leading the Japanese astray, he changed direction overnight and moved towards Jiaxing.

After the Japanese reacted, they sent all the garrison troops left in Hangzhou out to block the enemy. Fortunately, the Zhongjiu Army had six major headquarters. Although the main forces of each headquarters had been taken away by Xu Baichuan, there were still personnel left behind. The North Zhejiang Command was able to contact the Hangzhou Station, so Liu Xinjie learned the news in advance and ran to Wuzhen along the South Canal before the Japanese army blocked him.

He also made a false move to attack Hangzhou in order to delay the Japanese troops in Hangzhou. With the precedent of Suzhou's loss, the Japanese troops in Hangzhou retreated in fear. However, the Japanese advance team caught up with them. Fortunately, the Second Songhu Corps was responsible for the rear guard. After a fierce battle, they repelled the Japanese advance team, but a large amount of baggage was destroyed by the advance team.

……

Zhang Anping looked at the telegram in front of him and his expression became extremely solemn.

Sent by Liu Xinjie in the telegraph room, at this time, the rear guard of the 4th Uprising Division had shaken off the Japanese army under the cover of the 2nd Songhu Corps, but almost all the baggage was destroyed in the battle. The ammunition of each unit could still hold up, but there was only three days' worth of rations left.

According to Liu Xinjie's estimation, it would take at least ten days to transfer to the Kuomintang-controlled area of ​​Kaihua. If supplies could not be obtained, the Fourth Uprising Division and even the Songhu Column might collapse without a fight.

So Liu Xinjie asked if the evacuation could be postponed, and asked the North Zhejiang Command to cooperate in attacking a county town to obtain supplies.

An army without food will collapse without a fight!
The Fourth Rebellious Division was essentially a puppet army. Once their food supplies ran out, this unit would absolutely become a scourge to the region - having lost their military discipline, their only fate would be to be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army!

But once they captured the city, any delay would result in the Japanese army catching up and surrounding them.

If it were the current Loyal Rescue Army, Zhang Anping would not be worried, but once the Fourth Insurgent Division was surrounded, they would definitely not fight to the end.

Both options seem to be dead ends?
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Anping made a decision:
Let Liu Xinjie lead the Fourth Uprising Division to continue advancing towards the Kuomintang-controlled area!
As for supplies, he will find a way!

As mentioned before, the National Army learned guerrilla warfare from the underground party, and there were some results, but the only one that can be put on the table so far is the Zhongjiu Army.

The reason for this is that the National Army does not have a grassroots system of underground party. The underground party can go deep into the vast rural areas, unite with the peasants, and then establish bases, relying on the continuous development of the bases.

But the national army can’t do that!
The National Army was simply unable to establish a base like the underground party did. This was why Zhang Anping did not hesitate to report to Lao Dai to reorganize the Zhongjiu Army after its size had increased to tens of thousands of people. In the final analysis, the success of the Zhongjiu Army was due to Zhang Anping's huge financial support.

The Loyal Rescue Army could be supplied continuously through Shanghai, coastal cities and waterways, but this also restricted its number and development.

The reason why I have spent so much time and effort here is that at this moment, there are still people who can bring supplies to the Fourth Rebellious Division.

That is our party’s guerrilla force in Zhejiang!
Zhang Anping decided to seek help from the underground party in his capacity as the chief of the Beijing-Shanghai district of the Military Control Commission, and asked the underground party to find ways to provide food and fodder for the Fourth Uprising Division as it retreated to the Kuomintang-controlled area.

Zhang Anping's number one alias Zhang Shihao has a very bad reputation in the organization. Some comrades even angrily said that not even a punctuation mark in Zhang Shihao's words can be believed. However, Zhang Xiao, this alias, has not had any overt conflicts with our party.

Although the Military Control Commission’s hostility towards our party has never diminished.

After Zhang Anping released several underground party members rescued from No. 76, he successfully contacted the Zhejiang S Committee through the Shanghai organization. The comrades in Zhejiang believed that during the national war of resistance, mutual assistance was a must, but Zhang Anping "didn't trust them" and deliberately offered a lot of sincerity and asked the Zhejiang S Committee for help.

The comrades in Zhejiang did not expect that the people from the Military Control Commission were so "stupid and rich", but they would naturally not refuse the benefits that were offered to their doorstep, and they accepted the sincerity offered by Zhang Anping.

At this time, the party organization in Zhejiang also started to take action and provide all-round support to the Fourth Division of the Uprising.

Providing food supplements is the basic service, and additional services include harassing and blocking pursuers, allowing the Fourth Uprising Division, which had been chased by the Japanese several times, to escape at critical moments time and time again.

Liu Xinjie was also very happy. Because of his status, he seldom provided material assistance to the organization, but this time he was very blatant. As long as they could provide help to the uprising Fourth Division, they would send guns and ammunition.

You have to know that the 4th Rebel Division "killed" a puppet army division, and hundreds of people were killed, so the number of firearms it had was seriously exceeded. Giving weapons to friendly forces could also reduce the burden. No one thought this operation was inappropriate.

Sister Qian, who has been following this matter, was speechless. Zhang Anping from Shanghai sent it, and Liu Xinjie from the Fourth Uprising Division sent it blatantly. You... are you really not afraid of any problems?
With the help of the underground party in Zhejiang, the Fourth Uprising Division led by Liu Xinjie traveled more than 14 miles in days. They finally met friendly forces and escaped safely from the enemy's clutches.

At this time, there were less than 3,000 people left in the 4th Uprising Division, and the two corps of the Songhu Column, which were responsible for providing cover and engaged in fierce fighting along the way, had only 600 people left.

However, the successful retreat of the Fourth Uprising Division into the Kuomintang-controlled area brought a perfect end to the March 30th action.

The captain personally praised the rebel forces and organized them into a separate division instead of breaking them up and incorporating them into various units.

……

chongqing.

Old Dai held a pile of reporting documents with an expressionless face and said nothing for a long time, while several agents were sweating profusely.

Finally, when the spies were about to collapse, Old Dai spoke:

"Tell me why."

"Boss, the Communist Party didn't put forward any conditions at all. It was Zhang Xiao who took the initiative to send these supplies to them! This is collusion with the Communist Party!"

Old Dai said calmly:

"anything else?"

Seeing this, the spy plucked up his courage and said, "Liu Xinjie is the same! How could he hand over so many weapons to the Communist guerrillas? Isn't this aiding the enemy?"

"Finished?"

"That's it."

"Asshole!" Old Dai angrily threw the report materials at the spy's face and cursed:
"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

"If you are really stupid, then I am blind and let you, a loser, be an official! If you are fake stupid, then you are evil, evil as hell!"

Old Dai was furious and said:
"They just talk big and then turn around and ignore it. If a team of 5,000 or 6,000 people has problems, will you be responsible? Or do you have unparalleled faith in the Communist Party? Do you think they will help selflessly regardless of any interests?"

"say something!"

The spy was dumbfounded. He was just reporting according to the rules...

"There are five or six thousand people in this team. They are not related to you. Why do you think they will fight back as soon as you open your mouth? Ah!"

Old Dai was so angry that he turned around and smashed two vases. Then he cursed:

"There are also those who say that Liu Xinjie is in communist relations. Tell me, is it better to throw some equipment to others and let them block it, or to hold on to these equipment and delay the march, and let the Japanese swallow them all at once?"

"answer me!"

Under questioning, the spies who reported the incident could only tremble in fear.

"I'll say it once - I approved this matter. To be more precise, it was my idea! So am I also in favor of the Communists?"

Old Dai slapped the table and said angrily:

"Go report me to the Central Bureau of Investigation!"

The spies were completely defeated.

"Burn these things for me! If anyone makes a fuss about this in the future, they will be punished by family law!"

Old Dai’s words put the final nail in the coffin, bringing the so-called “collaboration with the Communists” incident to a perfect end.
