Chapter 692 There is no second way
Tang Yufeng responded in response to Yuan Shushan's panic-filled gaze: "Don't worry, they are intact, there is not even a single injured person!"
"I'll tell you one more thing. In the middle of the troops you sent to ambush the regiment commander, except for the correspondent next to me who was from the regiment headquarters, the remaining two deputy company commanders and more than 60 soldiers were all insiders who had found you."
"If I expected it was right, they should have sent the team leader here soon!"
Speaking of this, Tang Yufeng immediately shouted to the troops beside Yuan Shushan: "What are you waiting for? The regiment commander was not beaten to death by Yuan Shushan. The National Salvation Army was still the original National Salvation Army. You have been surrounded by the troops of two battalions, and there is still a continuous stream of troops coming over, and there is no chance to break out!"
"I ask you to put down your weapons immediately and surrender to the regiment headquarters, otherwise everyone will die!"
Yuan Shushan suddenly collapsed on the ground, without any strength on his body.
Tang Yufeng's explanation just now directly shattered his last hope and cut off his retreat.
The leader Zhou Cheng was not dead, and he was on the way back to Yangquan.
Zhou Cheng also thought of the plan to catch turtles in the jar, with the purpose of obtaining direct evidence of his own crimes...
Faced with this crisis, Yuan Shushan subconsciously felt that after Zhou Cheng obtained the evidence, he would definitely take the opportunity to kill himself and solve the only hidden danger within the National Salvation Army that could threaten his status.
He didn't want to die yet, but he racked his brains and couldn't even think of any capital he had to negotiate with Tang Yufeng and let him let him go.
Finally, he thought of more than 300 subordinates who were also trapped in the command center.
Although these people betrayed the regiment headquarters and followed their subordinates, the real culprit was themselves and the officers in the team. Most of the soldiers were innocent. They would do whatever the commander asked them to do. I wonder if the commander had brought them into a dead end.
Tang Yufeng had just threatened everyone to surrender, and he must have seen this. He didn't want to see hundreds of innocent soldiers dying in internal friction.
If I use them as bargaining chips to negotiate with Tang Yufeng, I might have a way out.
But there is a prerequisite for doing this: the more than 300 people in the command center must be tied to the same chariot as them, without any unfair intentions, trust themselves unconditionally, and do whatever they say.
If there are people in the team who are disobedient and everyone cannot work together, the plan will not continue.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shushan mustered up his courage to stand up from the ground, looked at his panic-looking subordinates beside him and shouted: "Brothers, you have heard what Tang Yufeng said just now! They want to find direct evidence of our crimes by catching turtles in the jar."
"Now we are surrounded by the command center, with both people and physical evidence and evidence, and the following crimes are committed, and the crime of seizing the command of the National Rescue Army by force will definitely not be able to escape."
"No matter where you are, the following are all guilty of death and will be shot, and the National Salvation Army is no exception."
"If we choose to surrender, we must have been arrested and shot as soon as we put down our weapons and ammunition."
"So we certainly can't surrender, otherwise everyone will die!"
A deputy company commander asked in panic: "Sir, what should we do?"
"Deputy Commander Tang has more troops than us. The troops surrounding us are also equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars. There is definitely no hope of breaking through!"
Yuan Shushan looked at his subordinates with panic-filled eyes and replied: "Continue to negotiate with Tang Yufeng and let them leave us here."
"We have more than 300 people. If we really want to fight, they will pay a huge price, and they will hurt the innocent and destroy Yangquan County. Tang Yufeng certainly doesn't want to see this result, so he forced us to surrender again and again."
"We can use this to negotiate with them to evacuate Yangquan City, and at least we must take you officers out!"
Seeing that many people showed a consent expression, Yuan Shushan was afraid that they would think about this matter for too long and have too many concerns, which would affect their judgment. He seized the opportunity and shouted to Tang Yufeng: "Surrender is impossible."
"We have committed serious crimes that the following people have committed. We cannot escape death if we surrender or not. We will definitely not be fooled!"
"Either let us leave here, and I will leave with the troops around me and feel like I will continue to fight the Japanese, or both sides will fight to the death."
"I suggest you better let us go."
"Although the troops around me betrayed the regiment headquarters, they are all veterans who have fought against the Japanese."
"If both sides really fight to the death here, not only will a large number of innocent soldiers be beaten to death, but Yangquan City will also be beaten to pieces."
Tang Yufeng really didn't want to fight Yuan Shushan. In his eyes, the best way to end this accident was to surrender voluntarily.
I never expected that Yuan Shushan would be so backbone today and would rather fight to the death than surrender.
Just as Tang Yufeng looked puzzled and hesitated whether to attack immediately, the voice of the regiment commander Zhou Cheng suddenly rang behind the team.
"Yuan Shushan, when do you want to make trouble? Don't be shameless!"
Zhou Cheng's appearance disrupted Yuan Shushan's plan instantly.
His prestige in the regiment was too high. When he fought to the command department, Yuan Shushan felt great pressure.
The subordinates around him were even more unbearable, and many people didn’t even have the courage to look up at Zhou Cheng.
After saying a word, Zhou Cheng did not give Yuan Shushan the opportunity to speak or argue, and continued to shout at the top of his voice.
"Listen to the rest of the command center, I know that most of you are innocent, and they were encouraged and instigated by Yuan Shushan before participating in tonight's operation. Now, as the leader of the regiment, I promise everyone that as long as you surrender, I will regard the incident tonight as never happened. I am willing to serve in the army in our National Rescue Army or continue to serve in the army, but everyone must go to the recruit battalion to return and redistribute it."
"I have a reason for doing this. Such a big thing happened tonight. If you continue to return to the old army, you will definitely be rolled by others. Since that's the case, it's better to stay in the recruit camp for two months first, and then the regiment headquarters will be uniformly assigned!"
"If you don't want to continue to serve in the National Rescue Army, I won't make things difficult for everyone. Each person receives a lot of money for the big ocean. Except for not being able to be a traitor, you can go anywhere you want. Our National Rescue Army will never stop you."
"As for officers, you are the culprits of this operation tonight, even I myself almost died at your hands. The National Salvation Army will definitely not be able to stay anymore."
"As long as you take the initiative to put down your weapons, I promise you as the regiment commander that the National Salvation Army will not only not settle accounts after the fall, but will also shoot you, but will also send you out of the National Salvation Army defense zone."
"Yuan Shushan, didn't you just say that you want to leave the National Savior Army and fight the Japanese by yourself? I agree, but the soldiers and weapons and ammunition belonging to our National Savior Army must be left behind, and no bullet can be taken away!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Cheng hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, I can't watch you go deep into the enemy-occupied area and fight the Japanese with bare hands and kill you in vain!"
"If you don't want to continue to serve in the army of our National Rescue Army, and don't want to take the road fee home, our National Rescue Army will send you a rifle and thirty bullets to you, and then send it out of the National Rescue Army defense zone, and go to the enemy's backbone to fight the Japanese!"
Zhou Cheng's words just now undoubtedly touched the hearts of many soldiers.
Before Yuan Shushan could react to the shock that Zhou Cheng suddenly appeared, a deputy company commander with a strong desire to survive could not help but shout: "Captain, you really don't plan to hold us accountable. Not only will you send us away from the National Salvation Army, but you will also give us guns!"
"I, Zhou Cheng, keep my word!" Zhou Cheng replied without hesitation.
As soon as this sentence was spoken, most soldiers and officers at the command center showed heart-warming expressions on their faces.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng's voice came to their ears again: "You have no other way out except surrender!"
"I heard right. It seems that someone said he would fight to the end here, threaten Deputy Commander Tang with casualties, and force Deputy Commander Tang to let you go!"
"In my opinion, the person who came up with this idea is a fool!"
"As long as the regiment headquarters is willing, they can wipe out everyone without losing a single soldier!"
"Some of you must think I'm talking big, but I don't, because the person who brought up this stupid idea forgot the real strength of our National Salvation Army. We not only have infantry, but also an artillery battalion equipped with dozens of artillery artillery. The command center is so big. I just need to transfer an artillery company to come over, and the troops don't need to attack. You can all be killed with shells!"
"In addition, I have a more convenient way to deal with you!"
"The command center has been cleared by Deputy Commander Tang, and there is no food inside. You must not bring any food when you attack the command center. We are surrounded outside without attacking. In just two days, you will be hungry and lose your combat power. If you launch an attack at that time, you will definitely be able to capture all of you in one go!"
Yuan Shushan sat on the ground again.
As soon as Zhou Cheng spoke, his new plan went bankrupt.
Looking at his subordinates who wanted to surrender immediately, thinking of Zhou Cheng’s promise just now, he had to choose to surrender.
Two days later, more than 30 officers led by Yuan Shushan were sent out of the defense zone by the national rescue military gift.
They had nothing except for one rifle, thirty bullets, three days of dry food, and more than one hundred yuan that Yuan Shushan personally saved up.
At the same time, Deputy Regiment Commander Yuan Shushan was invaded and led his troops to attack the regiment headquarters. The telegram that was captured was sent to the Chief of Staff of the War Zone.
"Who made him act without permission? No pig is as stupid as him, and he was captured in the end. It was so embarrassing that he was thrown home!" The chief of staff cursed after reading the telegram.
The commander-in-chief was also very angry, and cursed with anger outstretched, "This Yuan Shushan is indeed a guy who has not succeeded in the country but has not even stood firm for so long. There is no reason for this. It seems that what we are entrusting is not human!"
The chief of staff scolded him, but he did not lose his mind. He hesitated to remind: "Sir, Zhou Cheng did not shoot Yuan Shushan on the spot, but just gave him gifts out of the country. This is enough to give face to the war zone. We have no reason to refute it. What should we do next? The intelligence department said that the negotiations between the National Salvation Army and the Japanese are coming to an end. Now something happened to the deputy commander of the National Salvation Army. If they really reach an agreement, no one will implement it if we want to destroy it!"
