The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 359
to [-] days.

There are still six days until New Year's Eve.

It has been nearly two weeks since the comrades of the enemy industry department lurking in the [-]st Regiment handed over to reporter Shen the film that proved that the [-]st Regiment was resisting the Japanese on the surface, but actually colluded with the Japanese.

In the independent regiment, Wang An, head of the enemy industry department, felt that the head of the regiment believed in the wrong person.

"She is a woman, even if she knows the truth, what can she do? Stand out and shout that the [-]st regiment is a traitor colluding with the devils? It's hard to say at that time, someone in the national army will even arrest this reporter stand up."

"It's been almost two weeks, and we haven't seen any news. Captain, it seems that our film was given to the wrong person."

Kong Jie remained calm.

"Be patient. The water is too muddy. If you want to see the underwater situation clearly, you have to wait a little longer."

"Let's not talk about that. During these times, your enemy's Ministry of Industry should first focus on confirming the situation of the major maintenance associations in the surrounding villages and towns in the devil-occupied area. We will sort out the information years ago, and then we will visit them one by one."

"Yes!"

……

On the 21th.

Just before the Chinese New Year, a big event happened in Northwest Shanxi.

The news came from the Kuomintang-controlled area controlled by the Central Army and the local national army in southern Shanxi:
In the latest issue of the "Anti-Japanese National Daily" published by Jinnan Newspaper, Shen Wenyue, a reporter from Jinnan Newspaper, personally wrote an article, expressing in encouraging words that he would correct the "February [-]" issue published in previous issues. The regiment is a model of heroic resistance against Japan in the enemy's rear".

Shen Wenyue said in quite sharp, shocking and sharp remarks:
"The so-called [-]st Regiment's heroic resistance against Japan is purely a hoax. The truth of the matter is that the [-]st Regiment has been loitering without fighting ever since it was stranded behind enemy lines, and even communicated with the Japanese army in secret.

Lu Duoxian, the head of the [-]st Regiment, said that they fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Taiyuan. The truth is that the head of the [-]st Regiment led by Lu Duoxian originally went to the direction of Taiyuan City to surrender to the Japanese army.

As a result, it was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army halfway, which triggered a firefight between the Japanese army and the [-]st Regiment. The [-]st Regiment was defeated and hundreds of people were killed by the pursued Japanese army. "

As soon as the report came out, the newspapers of the day were quickly sold out.

The National Army did not even have time to take action against the supervision department of the news newspaper. The news spread in all directions like a tide.

Once spread.

Not only the Kuomintang-controlled area in southern Shanxi, but the entire San Jin was in an uproar.

The [-]st Regiment of the National Army stood on the cusp of the storm.

Surrounding the topic of "Is the [-]st Regiment a heroic anti-Japanese team, or a traitor who secretly colluded with the devils", it soon became the content of common people's comments in the streets and alleys.

Then, in the newspaper of the current issue of "Anti-Japanese National Daily", some military and current affairs content below.

Shen Wenyue actually teamed up with a number of reporters to co-author an article exposing how the [-]st Regiment secretly colluded with the devils, betrayed the enemy and traitorous country, yet managed to resist Japan glamorously on the surface, and even became a model of the Anti-Japanese War in the enemy's rear.

Below this report is a joint report by as many as a dozen reporters. Such a lineup can be described as spectacular.

Not only Chinese reporters, but also foreign reporters, including some reporters from the United States and the Soviet Union.

In the newspaper, the films that Wang An asked comrades from the enemy Ministry of Industry to hand over to Shen Wenyue have also been developed into photos by Shen Wenyue and published in the newspaper.

In addition, it was mentioned in this report that many journalists, including foreign journalists, went to the [-]st Regiment many times to actually check.

And found those soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to the Japanese, and conducted private interviews.

It was only then that the matter was revealed one by one, and as it went deeper, more and more inside information was revealed.

Only then did the truth surface. It turned out that the [-]st Regiment was secretly supported by little devils from the beginning of its establishment.

Lu Duoxian, the head of the [-]st regiment, played well with one hand, was exquisite in all directions, and flattered both sides.

While paralyzing the people, it also paralyzed the judgment of the military government.

In the report, the reporters also took photos one after another, "lazy troops of the [-]st Regiment", "soldiers and officers smoking opium with bongs", "it's already around ten o'clock in the morning, and there are still no One-man training ground".

Then came the question from the soul:

"Just such a lazy army with no discipline, no organization, and a smoking gun, can he be a heroic anti-Japanese team?"

The people were silent, and they seemed to have an answer in their hearts.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, the military government of Jinnan Kingdom dared to hesitate in the face of public criticism from the public. They didn't care to clean up the Jinnan Newspaper, and quickly clarified that the government was also deceived by the [-]st Regiment. We will step up efforts to verify and give the public a satisfactory answer as soon as possible.

In this way, although it was a bit of a slap in the face, it was explained clearly anyway.

Not long after, Boss Jiang, who believed in the wrong person, was furious and ordered to thoroughly investigate the authenticity of the [-]st Regiment.

Independence Corps.

The news also came over.Wang An rushed to the regiment headquarters with the latest edition of the Anti-Japanese National Daily in Jinnan to report the situation to Kong Jie.

Seeing Kong Jie, Wang An was full of emotion:
"Leader, you should remain calm, it's because I was wrong.

I really didn't expect that reporter Shen, a woman, can be so troublesome. Good guy, it seems that reporter Shen not only has the strength of a reporter and a literati, but also has the wisdom to deal with the enemy. Foreign reporters have come here, no wonder There is no way for the national army to stop it. "

Kong Jie smiled, but he was also a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this reporter Shen has such great energy, and he really got things done.

Wang An chuckled and said: "Leader, if you say that the foreign reporters are really not afraid of death, those reporters just broke into the [-]st Regiment.

The comrades of our enemy industry department lurking in the [-]st Regiment responded, guided these reporters, and found those soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to the little devils at the beginning. In this way, when these reporters interviewed, everything was exposed. "

"You boy, I really have you!" Kong Jie laughed.

"Thanks to this reporter Shen." Wang Andao.

"By the way, Commander, apart from this matter, during this period of time, the news newspapers in the Kuomintang-controlled area have also been promoting the matter in southern Anhui. There are many people who accuse the reactionaries of the national army, and they are all crying for the injustice of our New Fourth Army! "

Kong Jie said: "The people's eyes are discerning. Paper cannot contain fire. Sooner or later, the plots of the reactionaries will surface."

"In the Southern Shanxi Kuomintang-controlled area, there should be some of our internal comrades working in the newspaper office to expose this matter to the public."

"This is not something we should worry about for the time being, and we still have to be vigilant about the next move of the [-]st Regiment.

The public opinion in front of us has pushed the [-]st regiment to the cusp of the storm, this rabbit will bite people when it is cornered! "

"The [-]st Regiment will definitely do something crazy in the future, and our latent comrades must always be vigilant."

"Yes!"

……

After Wang An left, Kong Jie called Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, again.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

Kong Jie nodded and asked, "How is the situation around the nearest camp of the First Battalion?"

Wang Leihu said: "It's quite stable. With the help of the large-scale looting of the devil-occupied area not long ago, the guerrilla area of ​​our first battalion has expanded a lot. Now we have turned from offense to defense, and we are temporarily at a stalemate with the little devil.

It's almost the Chinese New Year now, and the devils have settled down a lot, and there should be no more wars in a short time. "

Kong Jie said: "In this way, your first battalion will continue to fight steadily, guard the garrison, and send me another [-] elites. I don't care how you train or how you assign tasks. There is only one requirement, and you are ready to fight at any time."

When Wang Leihu heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Commander, is there a battle?"

Kong Jie nodded with a smile, and said, "Have you heard about the [-]st Regiment of the Recalcitrant Army?"

Wang Leihu said: "Regimental Commander, I heard that the [-]st Regiment is really shameless. It is obviously a group of mobs who surrendered to the devils. They just gave themselves the name of heroic resistance against Japan in the enemy's rear.

Now it's better, being exposed by other reporters, the old face is completely humiliated.

I'd like to see how the national army will end up in the end. "

Kong Jie said: "It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. You don't know the urine nature of the national army. In addition, the [-]st regiment was originally behind the enemy's rear. It's okay for the national army to hide behind the enemy and let them go deep into the enemy's rear. Going to fight the devils, don't count on it."

"In addition, the devils will never watch the incident of the [-]st regiment being exposed, and may step up their efforts to persuade the [-]st regiment to surrender."

"In the final analysis, the [-]st Regiment has thousands of troops. It is not a small armed force. Whether it is the national army or the devils, they all want to take advantage of this piece of fat."

"And the [-]st Regiment is behind the enemy lines, and the little devil is closer. Naturally, the near water and the tower will win first."

"The Jinnan Central Army will definitely send people to contact the [-]st Regiment, but we don't know how the [-]st Regiment should choose whether to stand firmly against the Japanese, or continue to collude with the little devils, or even entrap the national army in turn. , can only be prepared in advance.”

"If the [-]st Regiment really wakes up and picks up guns to fight the devils and resist the Japanese, it's nothing to worry about. But if the [-]st Regiment is determined to be a traitor, we can't just watch."

Wang Leihu said knowingly: "Regiment leader, don't worry, if the [-]st Regiment is determined to be a traitor, then we will kill the rabbits, clean up the devils and puppet troops, and clean up the [-]st Regiment together."

Kong Jie said: "That's right, that's what it means.

It's just that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and according to the little devil's pissing nature, he may even use the New Year's celebration to divert his attention on the New Year's Day and secretly incorporate the [-]st Regiment.

The comrades in the first battalion may have to work harder. "

Wang Leihu said happily: "Commander, you don't know that, as long as the brothers in our first battalion can kill devils, they will be happier than New Year's Eve.

If we really go to war on the day of the Chinese New Year, then I will lead the soldiers of the first battalion to take down the devils, the puppet army, and the [-]st regiment. "

"You boy, well said, go get ready!" Kong Jie laughed.

"Yes!"

After everything is ready for Kong Jie.

The incident of the [-]st Regiment ostensibly resisting Japan but secretly defecting to the enemy continued to be brewed through the propaganda of the "Anti-Japanese National News".

The people criticized the [-] regiment for their duplicity, despicability and shamelessness, and they scolded them quite fiercely.

Many literati also came out to join in the fun, writing an article or two, severely criticizing the traitorous actions of the [-]st Regiment.

In the Kuomintang-controlled area, the comrades of the underground party of the Eighth Route Army even took action immediately, through some news newspapers, and then published this report:
"Yesterday's hero, today's traitor, who is swimming but not fighting? Who is secretly colluding with the Japanese invaders? Who is pretending to resist the Japanese behind the enemy's rear, but actually supporting the enemy and rebelling against the enemy?"

This series of questions successfully transformed the [-]st Regiment from an anti-Japanese army into a traitor to the enemy, and completely pushed it to a climax.

This communication seems to come to slap the national army in the face.

I remember that just before the [-]st Regiment’s secret defection to the enemy was exposed, the national army’s newspapers took advantage of the [-]st Regiment’s heroic resistance against the Japanese behind the enemy lines to vigorously criticize the Eighth Route Army for not fighting, and slandered the Eighth Route Army for secretly colluding with the Japanese invaders. .

Now it's all right, the feelings are all good things done by their national army.

It is true that the eyes of the people are blind.

But it's hard to fool!

At the same time, Lu Duoxian, the head of the [-]st Regiment who was pushed to the forefront, is now like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.

Lu Duoxian was very angry and wanted to kill the female reporter surnamed Shen.

The [-]st Regiment fell into the hands of a reporter.

And those photos published in the newspaper made Lu Duoxian even more frightened.

He didn't know where the reporter took these photos. It was obvious that he was secretly meeting with Japanese military officers in private.

How high he was praised at the beginning, how miserable he is now!
Lu Duoxian knew that he was about to die, at least on the side of the national army.

After the incident was exposed this time, even if it was out of righteousness to appease the anger of the people, the military government would never let it go.

No matter how many backgrounds he has, it is useless.

All he can rely on now is Roh Duo-hyun...

"Only our Great Japanese Empire, Commander Lu, do you still have any hesitation?"

On the 22nd, Tatoshi Kudo, the new chief of the Japanese Army’s special service in Taiyuan City, said this when he came to the [-]st Regiment to meet with Lu Duoxian in private.

To say that Kudo Tatoshi was really brave enough, he brought a dozen devil soldiers and dared to rush to the [-]st Regiment to have an interview with Lu Duoxian.

The reason is very real, Kudo Tatoshi has already firmly grasped Lu Duoxian's heart.

"Commander Lu, now your dealings with our Great Japanese Empire have been completely exposed. Your government will never let you go, and you have no way out now."

"The Great Japanese Empire is your only choice. In addition, the promise made to you by the head of the Takeda Agency at the beginning is still in effect."

"As long as you are willing to lead the people to surrender to our Great Japanese Empire, you will still be the group commander of the North China Security Force."

"I came here this time to ask for your clear answer, Commander Lu."

Having said that, Kudo Tatoshi paused, "Of course, you can also refuse my invitation."

"It's just what will be the consequences of that? Head Lu, you should understand better than me. Head Lu is a person who understands current affairs, so he won't ruin his future, right?"

Lu Duoxian is indeed at a loss, even if there are only a dozen people in front of Kudo Takatoshi and his party, he does not dare to conceive the idea of ​​taking down Kudo Takatoshi and others.

The big backer of the national military government has fallen, and there is only the last straw in front of us-the Japanese.

For a life-saving person like Lu Duoxian, why would he hesitate?

He just wants to break free from the current vortex now.

"Your Excellency, Major, I am willing to lead a team to surrender to the Imperial Army! The time and place are all up to Your Excellency, Major."

"No hurry, no hurry!" Kudo Tatoshi, who was holding the winning ticket, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Commander Lu, I have another idea."

"Your Majesty, please tell me!"

Kudo Tatoshi said: "After this incident, if nothing else happens, the National Army will definitely send troops to your [-]st Regiment to find out the truth.

I suggest, in order to express the sincerity of Head Lu to our Great Japanese Empire.

At that time, the head of the Lu regiment will personally move the guns and destroy the national army troops who came to the [-]st regiment to investigate.

To show the world that Head Lu is determined to surrender to the Great Japanese Empire. "

"This……"

Lu Duoxian was a little dazed, Engineering Duojun was right, the national army would definitely send people to the [-]st Regiment to investigate the situation.

The number of people is estimated to be quite large. If there is no accident, it is still the Central Army, and the official position of the officer leading the team is even higher than that of the regiment leader.

If he led the [-]st Regiment to surrender to the little devils, even though he would bear the reputation of a traitor, in the final analysis, the law does not blame the public, and there are not a few national army troops who rely on this method to save the country.

Surrender to the devil today, and then he will be sentenced to escape and come back later.

The military government of the country is quite broad-minded in this regard.

In addition, at Lu Duoxian's level, he knew some information in the national army at that time.

"I'd rather surrender than surrender!"

"I would rather surrender to the Japanese than the Eighth Route Army!"

This is by no means groundless.

It is basically impossible to return to the arms of the national army after surrendering to the Eighth Route Army.

But surrendering the little devil and then going back is often a matter of course.

But if Lu Duoxian took the initiative, he would kill the officers and troops of the national army in turn.

That nature is too bad.

Facing Kudo Tatoshi's staring eyes, Lu Duoxian had no choice but to nod slowly.

Kudo Tatoshi then laughed, "Don't worry, Commander Lu, the Empire of Japan will definitely share weal and woe with sincere friends.

I think Head Lu will never regret today's choice.

After Commander Lu surrenders to our Empire of Japan, our Empire of Japan will definitely guarantee the safety of Commander Lu's life. "

And the reason why Lu Duoxian took the initiative to turn his guns to deal with the national army.

This Kudo Tatoshi naturally has his own considerations.

The original plan of the Duojun project was that when the soldiers and civilians in the Kuomintang-controlled area thought that the [-]st Regiment was a great anti-Japanese hero, they would suddenly pull the [-]st Regiment into the water, and let the [-]st Regiment surrender to the Empire of Japan in order to suppress the Chinese. The role of anti-Japanese sentiment.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong halfway, the reporters from the Kuomintang-controlled area actually exposed the background of the [-]st Regiment first.

Active and passive effects are completely different.

Now if Lu Duoxian surrendered to the Japanese again, he would be imprisoned for the fact that he secretly colluded with the Japanese army, nothing more.

It didn't achieve the effect Kudo Tatoshi expected at all.

Therefore, Kudo Tatoshi thought of another trick and asked Lu Duoxian to destroy the national army troops who came to the [-]st Regiment in turn.

In this way, it will definitely arouse greater public opinion.

It must have been a big blow to the morale of the national army.

It can also achieve the effect expected by Kudo Tatoshi.

In addition, it can also prevent the [-] regiment from being capricious after surrendering.

This is a good thing.
