Chapter 144: The soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division are ready to change guard!
Chidong County.
In the early morning, a platoon of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was guarding the north gate of Chidong County.
Outside the north gate was a group of villagers queuing up to enter the city. These villagers were all from villages near Chidong County.
These villagers usually go to Chidong County early in the morning to sell vegetables, fruits, or deliver goods.
But just as these villagers were queuing up to enter the city.
A large number of cars appeared in the distance outside the north gate, which scared the villagers.
The villagers ran towards the city.
The platoon leader of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was a good man and did not stop the villagers from entering the city.
On the contrary, soldiers were organized to command the villagers to enter the city quickly.
Soon, all the villagers outside the north gate ran into the city.
The car in the distance was approaching the north gate.
"Quick, go inform the regiment commander that the Japanese are attacking Chidong County."
"Tell the commander to send troops to support us immediately."
"Also, tell the brothers to prepare for defense quickly. Don't show your heads. The Japanese are very accurate with their guns."
The platoon leader guarding the north gate, after closing the city gate, hurriedly gave orders to the soldiers around him.
"Yes!" After hearing this, the soldier did not salute, but ran directly into the city to inform the commander.
"Platoon leader, why do I feel like these don't look like Japanese?" A squad leader walked up to the platoon leader and said.
"Bullshit, who else could it be if not the Japs? Our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has so many cars."
"In Jin, there are only our Jinsui Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Japs."
"You said these weren't Japs, could they be the Eighth Route Army? Everyone knows what the Eighth Route Army is like."
The platoon leader immediately cursed when he heard what the squad leader said.
In the platoon leader's opinion, the one who could deploy so many cars must be the Japanese.
"Platoon leader, there are more than just the Jinsui Army, the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese, and the Tiger Guards in Shanxi now."
"The last time the Tiger Guards came to take away the wounded from our regiment, they sent out several vehicles."
"I looked at those cars for a long time and even chatted with the car soldiers for a while."
"The car outside the city is the same as the one that came in last time. Platoon Leader, do you think this could be the Tiger Guard Division?"
The squad leader ignored the platoon leader's scolding, but looked at the platoon leader and spoke slowly.
In fact, the squad leader was an old soldier, and he knew very well that the Japanese would not send so many cars to attack the county town.
Besides, although Chidong County is not far from the front line, it is impossible for the Jinsui Army to hide the Japanese invasion.
After hearing what the squad leader said, the platoon leader thought for a moment, then said to the squad leader, "Wait for the cars to come over, and go up and ask."
The squad leader was stunned when he heard this, and then cursed in his heart.
"What? You don't want to?" The platoon leader asked loudly after seeing the squad leader's expression.
"Platoon leader, I won't go up. I'll let others ask." After hearing this, the squad leader was still cursing the platoon leader in his heart, but he spoke respectfully on the surface.
"It's up to you. I just want to know whether those outside the city are the Japanese or the Tiger Guards." The platoon leader said after hearing this.
The platoon leader didn't care who to ask, he only cared about his own life.
After a while, the car outside the city stopped dozens of meters away from the city gate.
Before the soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could ask.
At the sound of the car, several soldiers came down and ran towards the city, shouting: "Brothers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, we are the Tiger Guard Division."
"We have been ordered to take over the defense zone of Chidong County. Now you must open the city gates."
After hearing this, the platoon leader of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army on the city gate looked at the squad leader beside him.
Then he said to the squad leader beside him, "Go and ask about the situation."
Upon hearing this, the squad leader quickly said, "Platoon leader, I..."
The platoon leader interrupted the squad leader before he could finish, "If I tell you to go, you go. If you don't, I'll kill you."
As the platoon leader spoke, he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the squad leader.
The squad leader had no other choice, so he stood up cautiously, looked at the several Tiger Guards soldiers below the city, and shouted, "How do you prove your identity?"
"Do you have military orders for a rotation?"
Upon hearing this, the Tiger Guards soldiers below the city shouted, "Your commander should know the situation."
"The commander of our Tiger Guard Division has already communicated with the commander of your Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"Your commander should have received the order to change guard."
Upon hearing this, the squad leader on the city gate looked at the platoon leader squatting behind the city wall, and then whispered to him, "Platoon leader, you heard it too."
"Have you received the commander's order to change guard?"
After hearing this, the platoon leader also said in a low voice: "Bullshit order, there is no such order at all."
"The commander hasn't been in the barracks these past few days, and I don't know if he went to his lover's house."
The squad leader was stunned when he heard this, and then asked the platoon leader: "Platoon leader, what should we do?"
"If the Tiger Guards are dissatisfied with this, they might even open fire."
"I saw it, there were cannons behind the cars!"
The platoon leader was also overwhelmed when he heard this, and then said: "Tell them that the regiment commander will be here soon, and we can talk to him after he arrives."
"Anyway, I just sent someone to notify the team leader, and he should be here soon."
The squad leader nodded quickly after hearing this, and then shouted to the Tiger Guards soldiers below the city: "Brothers of the Tiger Guards."
"We haven't received any orders to change guard, but our commander will be here soon."
"Wait a minute, wait until the leader arrives, then we can talk."
After hearing this, several Tiger Guards soldiers below the city whispered to each other for a few words, and then one soldier shouted to the city: "We can wait."
"But we are just the vanguard, the main force will be here soon."
"If your captain still hasn't appeared by the time the main force arrives, you must open the city gates."
"Because there are too many troop vehicles, we can't stay outside the city for too long."
Say it.
Several soldiers from the Tiger Guard Division left the city and returned to their vehicles.
The squad leader at the city gate saw the Tiger Guards soldiers leaving and quickly said to the platoon leader, "Platoon leader, they have left temporarily."
"But you heard what they said. What if their main force arrives and the commander hasn't shown up yet? What are we going to do?"
Upon hearing this, the platoon leader stood up and looked at the cars outside the city and the artillery pulled by the cars.
Seeing those cannons, he swallowed and said, "What can I do? What can I do?"
"You haven't seen those cannons. One shot from them could have shattered the city gate."
"Wait until their main force arrives. Open the city gates for me before the commander arrives."
"I don't want to be bombarded by artillery. Besides, I have already sent someone to inform the commander."
After hearing this, the squad leader quickly expressed his agreement.
The last time the Tiger Guards came to Chidong County to take away the wounded soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, this squad leader chatted with the people of the Tiger Guards for a long time.
Therefore, this squad leader understood the strength of the Tiger Guard Division and was also ready to join the Tiger Guard Division.
But the platoon leader of the Tiger Guard Division looked down on this old soldier.
You have to know that the Tiger Guards don't accept just anyone.
The Tiger Guards will not accept these veteran soldiers.
