Lost and Spy

Chapter 733 Destroy the Japanese Governor

On May 1938, 5, Meng Shaoyuan arrived near Yancheng.

Immediately, Han Deqin, acting chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government and commander of the 89th Army, quickly sent someone to get in touch with Meng Shaoyuan. To ensure the safety of the observer, Han Deqin sent a platoon of troops to meet Meng Shaoyuan.

The first person to receive Meng Shaoyuan was Xiao Fugen, the "Hengjiang one-stop, exterminating Japanese governor".

This reckless hero has thousands of Qing Gang disciples under his command. He has relatively complete weapons and belongs to the local powerful faction, but he refuses to accept the leadership of Han Deqin or the Fourth Route Army.

In Xiao Fugen's own words, it means being free and easy, hitting devils if you want to, and running to the Dazong Lake for a while if you want to be lazy for a few days.

There is no need to listen to this order and that command all the time.

"Xiao Fugen threw [-] disciples from the Subei Youth Gang to welcome the young master!"

That style, that ostentation, really did a great job.

This is just the beginning.

Xiao Fugen took a step forward, clasped his fists with both hands, knelt on one knee, and said loudly:

"The leader of our sub-sub-sub-sub-gang of our gang. Since the flag is red with borders, jade-colored streamers, red and black bright moon, the dragon and phoenix flags and jade-colored streamers are played on the 15th day of the first day. Go to Beijing to fly the five-color moon dragon and phoenix flag, and go out to Beijing to play the apricot-yellow flag , cross the Yellow River, beat the red boy. Jinsheng amber sparrow pole, jade-colored streamer. Three-star bucket head, amber yin and yang office, 56 boats. 51 grains, 660 tons of white grains, [-] grains One thousand two hundred loads. Three Pacific boats!"

Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded.

He couldn't understand a word of what these words meant.

"Please." This was the only thing Meng Shaoyuan could say.

"It's my good fortune for Yancheng, and the good fortune for North Jiangsu, for the young master to come to Yancheng."

Xiao Fugen was slightly excited: "Master, please!"

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I saw two rows of Qinggang disciples lined up facing each other. They were all wearing black bunts with open skirts. On the left side of the wide belt was a hatchet and a revolver was stuck in the right side.

Why is it like singing?
The rules of the Youth Gang have always been strict, plus Meng Shaoyuan's status is extremely high, and he is on an equal footing with Zhang Renkui, the old man of Jinghu. Wherever he goes, there is no reason for the local Youth Gang disciples to welcome him with all their might?
Xiao Fugen really thought hard about this.

His old man Xu Baoshan was close friends with Zhang Renkui back then, coupled with Zhang Renkui's status, this time Meng Shaoyuan was able to come to northern Jiangsu, which he regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

His base camp was originally in Funing. After the Japanese army occupied Yancheng, Xiao Fugen quickly moved and set up a base by the Dazong Lake. Once the Japanese surrendered, they could immediately retreat to the lake.

As soon as I entered, there were drums and music in unison, and I saw hundreds of big men in black, shouting in unison:

"Congratulations, little master!"

Meng Shaoyuan was taken aback.

I rely on.

what is this?
Are you afraid that the Japanese will not know that you have arrived in Yancheng?
Xiao Fugen was extremely proud: "Master, the banquet is ready, please."

Do as the Romans do, Young Master Meng can only go as he pleases.

There were already two people waiting inside.

Xiao Fugen called himself the "Captain of Exterminating Japanese", and the team he commanded was known as the "Army of Exterminating Japanese".One of those two was Huang Liangde, the military adviser of the "Warrior Suppression Army", and the other was Tong Changdao, the deputy governor of the "Smite Japanese Army".

Meng Shaoyuan wondered if he was in ancient times now.

What kind of military division commander, where is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms played?

The banquet is prepared with the highest standard of twelve cold dishes and 24 hot dishes.

It is estimated that the cook is not a serious cook, so it must be a headache to make up these dishes.

For chicken alone, there are five kinds of hot and cold dishes.

"Master, please take your seat."

Meng Shaoyuan was also polite and took the first seat.

Xiao Fugen was chattering again and again, and the welcome speech lasted about ten minutes before the meeting was officially opened.

Gan Ning and Xu Zhu were already hungry.

"Young master, please, please." Xiao Fugen kept persuading the food attentively.

Meng Shaoyuan's mind was not on the food either: "Xiao Fugen."

"exist."

"How many guns do you have in total?"

"Return to the young master." The answer was Huang Liangde, the military adviser: "It is said that there are 1 people in the outside world, but the real number is 3000. If you count the disciples who did not worship the mountain gate, there are about 6000 to 3000 people. These 1000 people It is further divided, the regular number of the Exterminating Japanese Army is 2000, and there are [-] more, if something happens, they can be summoned within two days."

1000 people?It is also enough for a regiment.

"In terms of weapons, we have twelve machine guns of various types, two of which do not fire, and one which does not work at all. One cannon."

"Cannon?" Meng Shaoyuan was taken aback: "Do you still have cannon?"

"It's actually a thunderbolt cannon."

Thunderbolt?
Oh, it's a mortar.

Huang Liangde then continued: "Other weapons, counting long and short guns, these 1000 people can actually do one shot each, and they are a little rich. It is just to arm the remaining 2000 people. Yes, then there is more than enough energy, some of these weapons are accumulated in normal times, and some are bought from the retreating soldiers of the national army when the national army is retreating. No matter what, self-protection is still possible.”

When this man speaks, his mantra is "really".

At this level, it's really good.

Meng Shaoyuan asked, "How is the living condition?"

"It's pretty peaceful." Xiao Fugen said this time: "After the Japanese occupied Yancheng, they didn't care about us for the time being. They sent someone to contact me, saying that I just need to surrender and give me a commander to teach the brigade Do. Although I, Xiao Fugen, am not a good person, if you want me to be a traitor, then don't even think about it.

The Fourth Route Army also sent someone to talk to me, and he was also the commander, the commander of the guerrilla column. I think that many troops of the Fourth Route Army do not have as many guns as I do, and they still need to send some political commissar to control me. Declined.Han Deqin sent a letter of appointment, the head of the security team, Colonel, I am still hesitating. "

Meng Shaoyuan understood his thoughts.

The Japanese would not go there, but for the Fourth Route Army, the commander is actually a title.

As for Han Deqin, he was the chairman of the Jiangsu provincial government appointed by the decent Nationalist government. The head of the delegation he appointed was real and justifiable.

The reason why Xiao Fugen hesitated until now and refused to accept the appointment was nothing more than that he was used to a comfortable life and was unwilling to take orders from others.

"Xiao Fugen." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "You are worshiping the king of northern Jiangsu, Mr. Xu Baoshan. You have the final say on the territory of northern Jiangsu. But today is different. Where there are any kings of northern Jiangsu, they all belong to them." Under the jurisdiction of the National Government. Right now the Japanese have occupied so many places in northern Jiangsu, but the National Government is still organizing forces to resist.

You are also fighting against Japan, I know, but you have no status, to put it bluntly, in the eyes of others you are a bandit.Why don't the Japanese make great efforts to deal with you?One is that you can't spare energy, and the other is that you think that armed forces like you will not pose much threat to them.Don't pay attention to what I said is unpleasant. "

"Don't dare, dare not, I am willing to listen to the teachings of the young master."

"That's good."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said: "Only when the name is right can the words be smooth. Han Deqin fought against Japan, Xuzhou battle, and Han Deqin fought on the southern front, which indirectly contributed to the victory of the Taierzhuang Battle. The Fourth Route Army is also fighting against Japan. The guerrillas harassed the Japanese army and contributed a lot. Speaking of which, behind closed doors, everyone is a family.

However, the conditions in the Fourth Route Army are harsh and there are many rules and regulations. If you, Xiao Fugen and your brothers voted, you may not be able to adapt, and there may be some unhappiness.I think you want to get rid of the title of bandit, and it is good to accept Han Deqin's appointment.He is from Yanghe, northern Jiangsu, and you are fellow villagers. When fellow villagers see fellow villagers, their tears are in tears.

Han Deqin commanded operations in the Suining and Suqian areas. Although most of Yancheng, Funing, Huai'an, and Baoying fell, there were still many base areas under his control. You are in Yancheng, echoing with Han Deqin's troops to consolidate In the base area, how could he not appreciate you and reuse your principles?I think it will take less than two years for you to be promoted to brigade commander or even division commander. "

Xiao Fugen became a little excited.

Although he called himself the "Captain of Exterminating the Japanese", he was appointed by himself after all, and it was different from the one officially appointed by the national government.

It's not that no one has said these words to him before, but most of them are still hesitant.Now, these words are spoken from the mouth of my grandfather, so the weight is naturally different.

"Han Deqin is the highest military and political officer in Jiangsu, and his every move represents the government." Meng Shaoyuan said solemnly: "This man has various problems, but one thing is that he is determined to fight with Japan. People do it to the end. Based on this alone, I don’t think it’s shameful for you to be his subordinate.”

"Since the young master has spoken, Xiao Fugen dare not disobey." Xiao Fugen also made up his mind: "This time, the young master is going to see Han Deqin, please give him a few more words of kindness in front of Chairman Han."

"Naturally." Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "Let me add an insurance policy for you. Xiao Fugen, I accept you as the head of the Yancheng Detachment of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command."

Xiao Fugen was overjoyed.

Although the captain of the Yancheng Detachment of the Military Command is not as imposing as some regiment commander, brigade commander, and division commander, it is equivalent to giving himself the backing of the Military Command.

In case of falling out with Han Deqin in the future, there will naturally be a young master and a military commander to help him.

Gan Ning has been eating there without saying a word.

But his heart was clear, Director Meng took this opportunity to quietly recruit Xiao Fugen.

In this way, the special office is equivalent to adding another military force in northern Jiangsu.

The identity of the little master really helped a lot.

"Xiao Fugen, you have to remember." Meng Shaoyuan made a special reminder: "You don't get involved in any partisan disputes, and you just focus on fighting the Japanese."

"Don't worry, little master." Xiao Fugen patted his chest and agreed: "I, Xiao Fugen, am a big bastard, and I don't understand those things, but I know one thing. Where the Japanese are, my people are there!"

"That said, I'm relieved!"
