Chapter 1163 From persistence to collapse
"I checked, and after being imprisoned, Commander Xie and the lone army still insisted on militarized management, but what exactly is it?" Li Yi asked again.

After all, I was not in power at that time, so many materials are missing, and many things that can be found today may not be exquisite.

Therefore, many of the information Li Yi can find are different.

But if you want to shoot the following plot, this is very important, and it can provide him with a key reference.

Lao Yang took out a cigarette, handed Li Yi one, lit it, and took a puff.

"Yes, despite being imprisoned, the solitary army is still practicing every day, and the military appearance is pruned! But this is not what the Wanuo Merchant Group and those islanders want to see. Daily needs can only be picked in and out by an old man.

Can you imagine what that long-term claustrophobia means to those soldiers who have already experienced bloody battlefields? "

"The old man mentioned something. At that time, there were more than 30 white pigeons in the military camp. These pigeons could lay six or seven eggs every day. Whenever a hen hatched, the soldiers would write their names on the eggs. I look forward to the day when the fluttering little white dove can fly out of the cage with its own name.

Officer Xie, who is alone, hasn't had a good night's sleep since he entered there.

He appealed to the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau and published a newspaper requesting international support, claiming that the lone army was neither a defeated general nor a prisoner of war, and should not be treated in this way that violated international law.The complaint was fruitless, and a lawyer was invited to come forward, but there was nothing he could do. "

Li Yi asked puzzledly: "According to the situation at the time, they should be fully capable of breaking out, right? Why didn't they do that?"

Lao Yang smiled wryly, and said with some sarcasm: "Yes, the guards were not strict at the time. Although they were disarmed, there were many of them after all, and they were all soldiers. Soldiers who have experienced life and death, want to break out. It's difficult.

In fact, Captain Xie also thought about breaking out of the siege. After all, for them, even if they died in battle during the breakout process, it would be better than being imprisoned and confined day after day, so he wrote a letter to Lao Chang.

Because Lao Chang had personally ordered the isolated army to be rewarded and all non-commissioned officers to be promoted to a higher rank, the regiment leader Xie hoped to use this to plead for a diplomatic solution to the dilemma, and claimed that if it was really difficult, the isolated army could riot on its own and break out of the encirclement.

However, Lao Chang replied: The letter was received on May [-], and Shang hoped to endure all hardships to preserve the honor of the country. "

"Haha, how ridiculous, to protect the national honor, it depends on them who survived the war, relying on them imprisoned people, what is such a national honor?" Lao Yang couldn't help laughing out of breath.

"You know, it is completely easy for a lone army to break through.

The guards of dozens of people from the Wan Guo Merchant Group seem to be tight, but in fact they can't stand the impact of hundreds of officers and soldiers.

There have long been non-government groups secretly contacting the lone army, willing to support them when they break out of the siege. At that time, as long as they rush to the rental area, the world will be brighter.

But Lao Chang was afraid that the lone army would do this. He repeatedly sent messages asking for "be patient", and considering the sensitivity of the international situation, the lone army never took any action and insisted on defending the isolated city. "

"Patience, patience, as you can imagine, at that time, Lao Chang still continues to ask them to be patient! Fuck his grandma for patience!"

"On August 1938, 8, it was the first anniversary of the 11th Army's swearing-in mission. The Solitary Army decided to hold the flag-raising ceremony. The flagpole was cut off by 88 feet. In order to raise the flag smoothly on the Memorial Day, the lone army agreed to this exchange condition.

But even such a flag-raising, the concession business team can't tolerate it.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the flag was hoisted.At 12 noon, the commander of the merchant group entered the camp and demanded that the flag be lowered immediately.After being rejected, more than 1000 troops from various countries in the concession gathered, armed with bayonets and sticks, broke into the solitary barracks, and came to seize the flag by force.

Due to weapons control, the officers and soldiers of the lone army could only pick up chair legs, bricks, etc. to resist. In the end, under the offensive of tear gas, the lone army was defeated and the flag was taken away by the coalition forces.In this service, 4 lone soldiers were killed and 111 officers and soldiers were injured.

Afterwards, in order to prevent the mutiny of the lone army, the Belarus Ding Regiment broke into the lone army camp again and took away 17 officers including Commander Xie.The other officers and soldiers had no choice but to go on a hunger strike in protest.

In the small garden of the Solitary Army Camp, four new graves stand side by side.In front of each grave, the bloody clothes worn by the flag guards when they died were hung high on bamboo poles.The lone army sat around the grave without saying a word or moving, but within 4 days, a large number of soldiers passed out.Hearing that his hero was bullied like this, the citizens came to build up his momentum. The Jiaozhou Road, Jinyao Road, and Changping Road leading to the Solitary Army Camp were crowded with people every day.

In the end, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce agreed to return the national flag, release the quarantined officers, open the solitary barracks, and give 4 yuan to each of the four soldiers who died. "

Li Yi let out a sigh of relief, the real history is far more cruel than the movie.

Compared with the soldiers who died on the battlefield, these people are even more tragic.

Lao Yang continued: "In 1939, although the Solitary Army Battalion allowed the public to come to condolences, they were trapped for more than a year, and the will of the [-] strong men in the camp inevitably slipped to collapse."

"Crash?" Li Yi asked.

"Yes, collapse! How can it not collapse? At the end of March 1939, two soldiers died of illness one after another. On the night of their burial, a soldier from the machine gun company disappeared. On the second night, the squad leader of the company led two soldiers and fled overnight. Out of the lonely barracks.

Before fleeing, he left a note saying: "After the three of us go out, we will definitely do something famous, and then come to see the regiment leader."

Later, the company commander conspired to assassinate the regiment leader.He planned to write a good article and publish it in the newspaper, and then take the poison himself to Laishaer, and use a kitchen knife to fight Xie Tuan desperately.

You know, he has been fighting with the army for nearly 10 years. During the defense of the Sixing Warehouse, he had a chance to escape, but he insisted on returning to the army at the risk of death, which is full of military demeanor.He and Commander Xie had known each other since 1932, and after 1934, they were in the same brigade. They often discussed with each other how to lead troops, and their friendship was very good.

The old comrades-in-arms, but they can't wait to fight each other with swords and axes.Not for anything else, but because Commander Xie insisted on carrying out the order and sticking to the lone army camp, and refused to find another way out for the lone army.Even people like him, let alone other soldiers.

However, the assassination this time did not take place because it was discovered in advance.

But in [-], even though the Pacific War had not yet broken out, countries such as Britain and the United States withdrew due to the situation, and the Japanese and puppet regimes actually controlled the concession.Withdrawal of foreign capital, the collapse of the industrial bubble, and skyrocketing prices, even food for the lone army has become a problem.

The lone army who had been in a purge of the military began to frequently contradict their superiors, slack off at work, and even fought violently in order to steal a bite of food.In the past, Commander Xie's punishment for soldiers who made mistakes was only confinement.Today, he even has to form a 10-man law enforcement team to impose whips and clubs on every soldier who makes mistakes.

It seems that at the beginning, only a few lashes were needed to be effective, but in the end, several people even took turns to execute the sentence.

Just at this time, an untimely letter to announce the good news was sent.

The person who wrote the letter was the squad leader who led people to flee in 1939.In the letter he wrote:
"Yu has become the company commander! Yu was a guerrilla in northern Jiangsu, belonging to the ninth guerrilla zone. He specialized in fighting yellow dogs and white dogs in the puppet army. Yu had 104 brothers, 11 machine guns, and more than 60 Rifles, and a small steel cannon that was handed over. The guerrilla area of ​​this company under Yu has a county commander."

After receiving the letter from Captain Xie and reading it, the squad leader's former superior, the company commander, burst into tears, so sad that he couldn't talk to others.

On April 1941, 4, the high-pressure valve of the lone army finally detonated.

Leader Xie was stabbed to death by the playground that day.

Company Commander Shangguan, who stopped the four murderers, was also stabbed six times and seriously injured.

The perpetrators were 4 lone soldiers.
They all had personal enmity with Head Xie, but no one could explain why they chose to assassinate Head Xie.

In July of that year, the court sentenced four people to death for homicide.What is the story behind the scenes and whether someone manipulated it has become an unsolved case since then.
