What a beautiful white lotus

In order to get rid of the Japanese army in the rear, Gu Xiuge took the remnants of his men and fled all the way into the mountains.

That night, when the soldiers rested in the mountains, Gu Xiuge held a meeting with a few of his cronies to discuss the next step.

Before Gu Xiuge could speak, Liu Wen strongly suggested that the troops should not rest at this time, but should march day and night, retreat westward before the Japanese army caught up, and look for other troops of the national army to join up, and then make future plans.

Gu Xiuge asked him: "When we return to the military headquarters, how do you think Jun Zuo will arrange us?"

Gu Xiuge is the general of the defeated army.Of course, almost all generals are now defeated generals, but defeated generals are also different from defeated generals.Judging from the lack of food and supply at the peak when they were holding their positions, it seems that they have already abandoned their pawns.If we go back now, the most glorious moment of Gu Xiuge's life may be when he just annexed Ding Honglei.

Liu Wen remained silent and turned his gaze to Guo Wu.

Guo Wu had a prominent background, was born in the Whampoa Military Academy, and had connections in the central government.He was reduced to this team because he insisted on following Gu Xiuge.He contributed a lot to Gu Xiuge's annexation of Ding Honglei.

But this time Guo Wu did not respond to Liu Wen's gaze.He said: "My uncle said that the next time he sees me, it must be when I transfer to the army."

Liu Wen had nothing to say.He knew that Gu Xiuge must fight, because Gu Xiuge was ambitious, he still wanted to lead troops and fight more beautiful battles, he must make achievements, so that Shangfeng had to pay attention to him.For this, no matter what price he pays, no matter what kind of battle, Gu Xiuge will fight.

So Gu Xiuge took out a map, pressed a corner of the map with the local pistol he had just received, pointed to Ruichang County and said, "There is a team here, Chinese, seven hundred people."

Liu Wen was taken aback for a moment: "Redified elements again?"

Gu Xiuge looked into his eyes with indistinct emotion: "Puppet army." These news came from the scouts and the previous militia team.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

Although a batch of weapons used by the militia was collected just now, their guns and ammunition are still far from enough. If they want to fight, they must first get weapons.

Guo Wu asked him: "Are we going to fight them? Take their supplies?" Over the past few years, they have also encountered many puppet troops on the way.However, the policy of the national army is generally not to conflict with the puppet army.No one wants to fight, even the devils can't be killed, how can they have the heart to kill the Chinese?

Gu Xiuge said: "No fight. I will instigate a mutiny against them."

Liu Wen immediately objected: "Tuan Zuo, that's wrong! They have 700 people, I'm afraid the weapons are better than what we have now. It might be okay if our whole division is here, but we only have 100 people! If they There is still a little bit of national righteousness in my heart, so it would be fine not to sell us to the Japanese army, but if they are more black-hearted, it would not be surprising to sell us to the Japanese army, or even kill us with their own hands!"

Gu Xiuge said: "What about 700 people? What kind of situation can the puppet army become? They are Chinese, but they sacrifice their lives for the Japanese. Can they feel better? The reason why they will sacrifice their lives for the Japanese government is because our army is not strong enough. , we can’t protect them. As long as I prove to them that I can fight off the Japanese devils, they will cooperate with me!”

Liu Wen looked at Gu Xiuge in horror, and said for a long time: "Tuan Zuo, who do you want to send to instigate rebellion?"

Gu Xiuge said, "I'll go in person!"

Liu Wen patted his forehead hard.He knew it would be like this.He persuaded: "Tuan Zuo, if you fail to instigate rebellion and arrest them, without you, what will our brother No. [-] do?"

Gu Xiuge was very calm: "You are my adjutant. If I'm not here, the hundred people will be under your control. You can take them wherever you want."

Liu Wen suddenly stood up, his chest heaving with excitement: "I disagree!" He had been with Gu Xiuge for several years, and he could count all the words he said with one hand.He tremblingly said, "You are a group seat, you can command from the rear, but you rush to the front every time. Forget it, I will never allow you to go in person for this kind of death! What's more, there is no supply , the military department has completely forgotten that there are people like us, and you still want to use these hundreds of brothers to fight against each other? I don't agree!"

Gu Xiuge pointed to his epaulettes: "Lieutenant Liu, look clearly. I am a lieutenant colonel. I am your regiment seat. I am not dead yet. I decide how to fight." For the first time, Xiu Ge used his identity to suppress Liu Wen.

Liu Wen stared at Gu Xiuge unconvinced.

The soldiers who were resting not far away were a little awakened by the sound of the dispute, and they curiously looked at the place where Gu Xiuge and the others were, but no one dared to approach.

Liu Wen lowered his voice and said, "They entrusted their lives to you."

Gu Xiuge touched the holster on his waist, sighed, and looked up at the stars in the sky: "They are all soldiers. You are, and so am I."

The next day, this team sneaked out of Ruichang County. Liu Wen and his troops stationed outside the city, and Gu Xiuge brought three or four of his followers, but went into the city.

Ye Rongqiu stayed outside the county seat, while Heigou and Guo Wu followed Gu Xiuge as personal soldiers.Before entering the city, Gu Xiuge distributed the best remaining weapons and grenades in the army to the soldiers who followed him, and asked the only few soldiers with damaged uniforms to take off their uniforms and put them on for the soldiers. Then he put on a bamboo hat and felt to cover up, and then led the people into the city.

The leader of the puppet army was originally a big landlord in Ruichang County, named Zonghao, and many of the puppet army were local gentry and local tyrants who had hoarded a lot of weapons and food in the past.Later, in order to fight against the Japanese invaders, the nearby guerrillas were short of food and guns, and adopted the wrong "Left" policy. In need of supplies, these gentry simply recruited soldiers and bought horses to join the Japanese bandits as puppet troops.However, although these puppet troops often fought against the militia, they still kept secrets about the formally organized national army. They always adopted an evasive attitude and did not dare to fight against the regular army.

Gu Xiuge first sent a few scouts into the city to find out that Zonghao's headquarters was in a factory, and then walked into the factory with a few followers.

Several puppet soldiers vigilantly stopped them from entering. Gu Xiuge took off the bamboo hat on the outside to reveal the national army uniform inside. The puppet soldiers were shocked and immediately took out their guns and aimed at Gu Xiuge. But no one dared to shoot rashly.

Gu Xiuge smiled slightly, turning a blind eye to the black holes pointing at him, took off his pistol and grenades, put them on the ground, and kicked them aside.Heigou, Guo Wu and the others followed suit and unloaded their weapons on their own initiative.

Only then did Gu Xiuge speak, with a composed and calm expression, as if everything was under his control: "Call Zonghao out."

Several puppet soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to relax their guns in the slightest. One person entered the factory, and after a while, a middle-aged man wearing a puppet army uniform came out from inside.

The man had a fat head and big ears, and was short and bloated, but his eyes were squinted.At a glance, he was already smiling when he wasn't smiling. He squinted and couldn't see the black eyeballs clearly, making people wonder where he was looking.He glanced at three or four soldiers in national army uniforms, then squinted at the guns on the ground, frowned and let go, waved his hand, and the people with guns around him stepped back a few steps.

Gu Xiuge looked at him, guessed that he was Zonghao, smiled slightly, with a respectful but not flattering attitude, clasped his fists and said, "Zongye."

Zong Hao didn't step forward, and said with a flattering smile: "A few military masters have come to the cold place, what advice do you have?"

Gu Xiuge said, "I'm protecting the Zongye."

"Oh?" Zonghao paused for a moment, but still had a half-smile: "Why did the military master say that?"

Gu Xiuge strode forward, Zonghao backed back again and again in fright, the puppet soldiers at the side immediately pointed their guns at Gu Xiuge's head, but he held Zonghao's hands forcefully without fear, and said impassionedly: "Recently The Japanese invaded your county, killed many people, and robbed a lot of land. This is the result of our soldiers' ineffectiveness in the war. You have suffered! It is only right and proper for the army to protect the people, and it has been like this since ancient times On behalf of the army, I apologize to you, and now my regiment is stationed outside the city, and I am here to correct our mistakes! Please give us this opportunity!”

Because of Gu Xiuge's approach, three out of Zonghao's seven souls were frightened away, and after hearing his words, the souls regained their composure.He looked at Gu Xiuge in amazement, noncommittal.

Gu Xiuge said: "I don't know if Zong Ye has something to say here?"

Zong Hao narrowed his eyes even more, and calmly withdrew his hand from Gu Xiuge's hand, took two steps back, thought for a moment, gestured to the people around him, and then said with a smile: "Mr. .”

The puppet army led Gu Xiuge and others to a wooden house behind the factory. Gu Xiuge and Zong Hao entered the wooden house. Zong Hao brought two entourages in together, but Gu Xiu Ge let the black dog Guo Wu and others guard Outside the house, a single person walked in.
