blood feud

At the end of the public trial, there were conflicts between the views of the provisional government and the villagers regarding the judgment of the 169 bandits.Later, Zhao Meiyan knew that these people were young people from nearby villages after the villagers present again recommended representatives to come to the stage to state their opinions.

They became bandits because they couldn't bear the bullying of landlords and tyrants, some killed people, some set fire to the landlord's house, and finally they were forced to become bandits.They did not do any evil at ordinary times, and the villagers felt that they should be treated differently.

After another negotiation by the collegial panel, these people were acquitted and released on the spot!The entire trial process lasted until after seven o'clock in the afternoon, when it was already dark.

The public trial meeting with representatives of ordinary people was a complete success. As many as 711 bandits were sentenced to death, 1130 were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, and 408 were released on the spot.It is quite difficult to shoot so many people at once.In the end, Bai Shujie decided to implement it in installments and batches. On the first day, Xu Erhei and his leaders of the Eight Great Divisions were executed, a total of 39 people.

The old guy sent by Huang Yu, Bai Shujie asked him to accompany him to kill.In other words, every time a group of bandits were shot, he would be "invited" to watch once, and he would stand inside the death row prisoners and watch the law enforcement team shoot!

Where is the execution ground?The mass grave just outside the south gate, less than two kilometers away from this cross street.The villagers wanted to see with their own eyes what happened to the villain Xu Erhei, so they all flocked to the execution ground.

For fear of accidentally injuring the masses, the soldiers of the firing squad worked for a long time, and finally stepped aside to shoot directly.

The first person to be executed by shooting was the bandit leader Xu Erhei.The executioner was none other than Shang Ziyi!He wants to execute it himself today to avenge Geng Fengbiao!

Just at this time, from the southwest direction, a few cannon shots were faintly heard, and the earth shook!The villagers at the scene suddenly panicked and began to flee in all directions!

Xu Erhei and the other 38 people, who had closed their eyes and waited to die, immediately lifted their spirits when they heard the sound of the cannon!Xu Erhei desperately raised his neck and shouted mournfully: "My rescuers are here, let me go now, you can still survive!"

"Folks, don't panic!"

Bai Shujie had already changed into a military uniform, and rode over on a dark cloud, and then stood on the horse and said loudly: "Folks: You have all seen dramas. Since ancient times, when emperors kill people, they have to fire a few soul-chasing cannons, right?" Huh? Let's be the emperor for once, let's fire a few soul chasing cannons and kill a group of big bandit leaders!"

Speaking of this, Bai Shujie turned his head to stare at Xu Erhei and sneered: "Raise your dog's head and listen carefully, this is the [-]-type infantry artillery of the little devil! Who has this kind of artillery in this place? Only I have it! Today even the Emperor and I will not save your life! Execution continues, shoot!"

Beep, beep, the gunshots finished almost at the same time, and the heads of the 39 people below Xu Erhu were all fired!The villagers immediately screamed excitedly. As soon as the law enforcement team left, the rotten bricks and broken stones became tools for the villagers to vent their anger. The 39 corpses were smashed into a pile of minced meat.This is a precursor to the awakening of the masses, and it is also a vent of a certain emotion deep in the heart, not to mention.

The sound of rumbling cannons came from the southwest direction, could it really be the so-called soul chasing cannon that Bai Shujie got?of course not!

As soon as the execution procedure for the condemned prisoners was over, Bai Shujie asked Shang Ziyi to lead the Seventh Company to strengthen the defense of Raoyang County, and he rushed to the front line with a guard squad.Twenty minutes later, Bai Shujie had arrived at the artillery position of Tangfeng Town.

"How's the situation?" Bai Shujie saw Wei Chong who rushed over earlier, raised his binoculars, and asked casually, "Have you figured it out? Who is it?"

"Reinforcements came in two ways, the first of which was the Li Guangdong Cavalry Battalion in front of us now. After the two shells issued a warning just now, they stopped two kilometers away. The other way was in front of Tiegan Town in the west, and there was about a regiment .It was blocked by two shells from the infantry artillery, and it also stayed two kilometers away."

Wei Chong said indifferently: "There are only such a few people, there is no need to deter them at all. As long as you give an order, our two battalions will rush up and make a surprise attack, and we will beat them to pieces."

"Nonsense!" Bai Shujie had already seen the opponent's cavalry through the binoculars, as well as the unique gray cloth uniform of the Northwest Army on his body: "Do you know that they were the ones who fought bloody battles with the little devils at the entrance of Xifeng back then. We are all anti-Japanese heroes, how can we kill each other? They are not moving now, and none of you are allowed to shoot at random, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

Bai Shujie then asked: "This side is led by Li Guangdong, who is on the other side, have you found out?"

"Not yet." Seeing that the enemy could not fight, Wei Chong looked a little dejected: "San Juzi has sent people out, hoping to find out the origin of the opponent as soon as possible, and find out whether it is Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division of the Northwest Army or Zhou Fucheng of the Northeast Army The 116 division."

"Okay, I'll go to Wang Sanju's side to see what's going on." Bai Shujie got on his horse and said, "I want to emphasize again, you must be patient, and don't use heavy machine guns and mortars unless absolutely necessary. If the opponent launches a charge, use an infantry The gun intercepts head-on. Unless the opponent rushes within 500 meters, the light machine gun can fire to block the shooting."

It took Bai Shujie more than 40 minutes to reach the front of Tiegan Town, but he didn't expect the situation here to be quite different.The machine guns on the ground didn't even have the safety on. About a platoon of cavalry from the Northwest Army formed a small phalanx, standing 100 meters away from the fortifications.

"What's going on here?" Bai Shujie inspected the position and was puzzled when he saw this strange phenomenon. Fortunately, Zou Baogen, the second battalion commander, rushed over immediately after seeing Bai Shujie.

Zou Baogen heard the detachment leader's question and hurriedly reported: "Report to the detachment leader. Opposite is the fifth regiment of the 20nd Division of the No. 132 Ninth Army in the Northwest. Their regiment leader Zhao Dengshun and divisional deputy Shan Yongan came to negotiate in person. Now Deputy Wang Sanju The regimental commander is talking to them at the temporary command post behind."

"Well, there is still such a thing, take me there to have a look." Bai Shujie finally calmed down a lot when he heard the negotiation, and then ordered the temporary security squad leader: "Hurry back to Raoyang County to find the county magistrate Zhao, and say that I want to transfer Read all the dossiers about Xu Erhei. Hurry up and go back!"

Bai Shujie had seen the name Zhao Dengshun when he read related materials in his previous life.It is precisely because of his existence that Zhao Dengyu has gained the reputation of "General Iron Face".

Zhao Dengshun is Zhao Dengyu's cousin. He has been wandering outside with his cousin since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a trusted general of Zhao Dengyu's subordinates.

Once, Zhao Dengshun violated military regulations and should be punished with 40 military sticks for his crime.Zhao Dengyu's mother asked someone to tell her, because of the brotherhood and the bloody battle, she hoped that the punishment would not be too heavy.

However, Zhao Dengyu violated his mother's wishes and still punished Zhao Dengshun with 40 military sticks.Then he returned home with the military stick used to punish his cousin. Zhao Dengyu knelt in front of his mother and asked her to punish him.Zhao Dengyu was filial all his life, and this was the only time he violated his mother's wishes, and it became a good story for a while.

Hearing that such an interesting person came to the front of the two armies, Bai Shujie naturally would not miss the opportunity to meet.

The temporary command post is located in Daxing Village, one kilometer behind the right rear wing of the artillery position, and Bai Shujie saw it in the blink of an eye.It was mid-July, and there were six torches in the open space outside the command post, and there were indeed four people sitting on the ground.

The two people on the east side were wearing the unique "black but not autumn, not a few flowers" military uniform of the Jehol Front Army. They were Wang Sanju, the deputy commander of the independent regiment, and Zhao Qinglin, the deputy battalion commander of the second battalion.Sitting opposite were two soldiers in gray cloth uniforms, needless to say, they were Zhao Dengshun and Shan Yongan.

The four guys are all professional soldiers, even if they are sitting on the ground, their upper body is still straight.The so-called sitting upright is probably what it looks like.Bai Shujie didn't go forward immediately, but got off his horse and leaned against a big tree to be the audience.Those four people may have been too involved, and they didn't notice an unexpected visitor nearby.

"Commander Zhao and Adjutant Shan, according to what you said just now, and the warrant of Commander Zhao that you brought out, Xu Erhei belongs to your establishment, I understand right?" Wang Sanju said expressionlessly: "In that case , What Xu Erhei did, can I understand it as an order from the 132nd Division?"

"If there is a major military operation, it will naturally require a military order from the division. Commander Wang's understanding is not wrong. However, some of the details may be handled flexibly by Xu Erhei and the others. This cannot be generalized."

Bai Shujie noticed that the speaker was a young officer in his early thirties opposite the division.His face was pale and tender, completely bookish, not as tough as a man from Northwest China.He speaks softly and slowly, without the aggressive look of a soldier at all.

"Of course, we are all soldiers. If we can sit together, we will naturally talk about military issues." Wang Sanju has followed Bai Shujie for many years, and it is impossible to lose his mouth to others: "Commander Zhao, you should have seen it just now. If you want to To deal with a battalion like ours, is this a military operation, or is it a detail that Adjutant Shan said can be used temporarily?"

"I've already seen it. The battalion of Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao is almost catching up with one of my regiments. If you want to take military action against such a unit, it is naturally not a small matter. Without the order of the division, No one dares to act rashly."

As soon as this person opened his mouth, Bai Shujie confirmed that he was the head of the fifth regiment under Zhao Dengyu's department, and also Zhao Dengshun, the cousin of Master Zhao.Whether it's the voice, body shape or the way he speaks, they all have the tough style of a Northwest man.

"Then it's over!" Wang Sanju's face suddenly became gloomy, and his tone became serious: "Last month, that is, on June 23, 20rd year of the Republic of China, there were more than 132 people from the 800nd Division of the No. 19 Ninth Army. Thirty kilometers southeast of Xiongxian County, we deliberately attacked more than [-] members of our Jehol Front Army's southward procurement team, resulting in a guard battalion, which is the battalion you see now, and [-] people under the sixth company commander Geng Fengbiao died heroically. Now, let Zhao Tuan Commander, give me an explanation! Otherwise, I will not be able to appease the anger of all officers and soldiers!"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
