Chapter 145 The defenders of Chidong County ran away!
In fact, the last time the Tiger Guards tried to win over the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, many soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wanted to join the Tiger Guards.
But not everyone is welcome to be a Tiger Guard. Some are opium smokers, veterans, hooligans...
The Tiger Guards don't want any of these people.
Because these people have no determination to resist Japan, they are difficult to manage.
If the Tiger Guards Division had those who dared to fight and were determined to resist the Japanese, the wounded soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were basically soldiers who dared to fight the Japanese.
These soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division are welcome.
This is also why the officers of the Tiger Guard Division wasted a lot of medicine to treat the wounded soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
The regiment stationed in Chidong County now is the one that the Tiger Guards Division does not want.
The only people in this regiment that the Tiger Guard Division targeted were dozens of wounded soldiers.
In fact, the Tiger Guards looked down on him.
The leader of this group was a young man from a wealthy family in Jin, and he bought his position with money.
Although he did not cause much harm to the people after becoming the regiment commander, he also did not fight against the Japanese.
He used his soldiers to transport his own goods and suppress his business rivals all day long.
The soldiers under his command had no combat effectiveness at all, and those who had combat effectiveness were killed by this regimental commander.
So when the regiment commander heard his soldiers report that the Japanese were attacking, he took his soldiers and ran away.
Only the platoon of soldiers guarding the north gate was left.
Because of the captain's escape, the people of Chidong County were in panic.
The villagers who had just run in from the north gate also spread the news that the Japanese were coming.
The regimental commander did not receive Sun Chu's rotation order because he had been in the military camp for the past few days.
For a time, the entire Chidong County was in chaos.
This chaos was soon discovered by the soldiers guarding the north gate.
"Platoon leader, platoon leader, it's bad. The city is in chaos. The wealthy businessmen are all running away."
"The leader has already run away, let's run too!"
A soldier quickly ran up to the platoon leader and said.
This soldier was sent by the platoon leader to contact the regiment commander again. The first soldier sent had already run away with the regiment commander.
"I've known for a long time that this rich kid is unreliable. He scared the devil away before he even arrived."
"By the way, where are Platoon Leader Wang and the others?"
After hearing this, the platoon leader cursed the regiment commander a few times, then asked the soldiers.
"Platoon leader, Platoon Leader Wang didn't run away. He is organizing some soldiers who didn't escape to support us." The soldier replied quickly.
"Support, what the hell? There aren't real devils coming. They're the Tiger Guards, friendly troops."
"Hurry up and inform Platoon Leader Wang to control the chaos in the city. We must not allow it to continue."
The platoon leader said quickly after hearing this.
When the soldier heard the platoon leader's words, he was about to go and inform Platoon Leader Wang, and just as the soldier ran a few steps.
The squad leader next to the platoon leader hurriedly shouted, "Wait." After seeing the soldier stop.
The squad leader said to the platoon leader, "Platoon leader, don't worry about it, let's run away."
"The Tiger Guards Division is different from our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The Tiger Guards Division has very strict military discipline and regulations."
"Now that the city is in such chaos, someone needs to take the blame. The Tiger Guards will probably make us take the blame!"
The platoon leader was slightly stunned after hearing what the squad leader said, then said with some disbelief: "We are not soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division, they shouldn't be able to control us, right?"
After hearing this, the squad leader smiled bitterly and said, "Platoon leader, do you have any concerns about the Tiger Guard Division trying to win over our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers last time?"
"No, I have no concerns at all. The Tiger Guards Division is part of the Central Army, and Commander Yan has no control over it."
"So killing a few of us is no big deal. Besides, they are right to criticize the Tiger Guards."
"The chaos in Chidong County is our fault. Killing us is perfectly normal."
After hearing what the squad leader said, the platoon leader thought about it and felt that the squad leader was right. Besides, the platoon leader was also afraid.
In particular, the platoon leader knew that this squad leader knew the Tiger Guard Division very well.
It is said that the squad leader did not join the Tiger Guards Division last time because the division's military discipline and regulations were too strict.
In fact, this squad leader is just bragging.
It is obvious that the Tiger Guards Division does not want this squad leader.
Of course, this squad leader also knew something about the Tiger Guard Division.
"Yes, we can't take the blame, so let Platoon Leader Wang take the blame. Isn't he always thinking about joining the Tiger Guard Division?"
"He wasn't here last time, but this time the opportunity has come. Let's see if he's lucky enough."
"Go and inform the brothers that we are retreating from the south gate. We are going to find the commander."
After the platoon leader made the decision, he immediately spoke to the people around him.
After saying that, he went down the city wall directly.
At this moment, the soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the Huben Division outside the city had no idea what they had brought to Chidong County.
These soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division are still waiting for the arrival of the main force.
Inside the city.
Wang Fuguang, the platoon leader of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, has organized more than seventy Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers to remain in Chidong County.
It's sad and regrettable.
A whole regiment, more than 1,700 people.
Only these seventy or so people were willing to take up arms and resist after hearing that the Japanese were coming.
"Platoon Leader Wang, there's no one at the north gate anymore. Sun Ergou has already escaped."
"And those who came weren't the Japs, they were the Tiger Guards. They weren't coming to attack us, they were coming to relieve us."
"That bastard Sun Ergou reported the situation to the regiment commander without even understanding it clearly."
"When the regiment commander heard the Japanese were coming, he immediately ran away with his brothers, and the city was in chaos."
"There's only one soldier at the North Gate right now, and he's a half-grown boy. He wanted to join the Tiger Guards and didn't run away."
A soldier sent to the north gate by Wang Fuguang ran back and said to Wang Fuguang.
"You bastards, you're all bastards. You ran away without even figuring out the truth."
"And those unruly people, they know nothing but talk nonsense. Look at the chaos in the city now."
"Alas! I've known for a long time that the leader is unreliable, but I didn't expect him to be so unreliable."
"The devils were scared away before they even arrived."
"Forget it, we don't want to be part of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army anymore. We'll just join the Tiger Guard Division."
"But the most important thing now is to stabilize the city."
"You are to take people to stabilize the city now and tell the people there that the Japs are not coming, but the Tiger Guards."
"There was a robbery. Kill all the thugs who were robbing me."
"I'm going to the north gate now to get the Tiger Guards into the city. As long as they enter, the city will be completely stable."
"By the way, remember to send someone to the Qiao Family Compound to notify them."
"After today, the Qiao family will become prosperous. You all know about Miss Qiao and the Tiger Guard Division and the Division Commander!"
"If we want to join the Tiger Guard Division, we must not offend the Qiao family."
After hearing what the soldiers said, Wang Fuguang first cursed his regimental commander, and then gave orders to the soldiers around him.
Finally, soldiers were sent to Qiao's compound.
After all, the Tiger Guards will be stationed in Chidong County in the future, and the status of the Qiao family in Chidong County will change.
It is also necessary to show goodwill to the Qiao family now.
