Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 560 Park Xiuzhu

After dispelling the last bit of doubt in his heart, Wei Dong stood up and bowed to the mayor.

"I am Weidong from the Independent Column. I have not asked for your name, sir. Could you please enlighten me?"

"Don't dare, Park Xiuzhu!"

This was the official acquaintance of the two.

"Mayor Park, are there any people from Yishun'e and Gandunzhu in this city? If so, please tell us for the safety of the people!"

Park Xiuzhu thought for a moment and answered decisively:

"Probably not. Yi Shun'e had long since left the Fourth Prince Banner, taking with him almost all of his family property and subordinates, and he also looted a lot before leaving.

Gan Dunzhu was originally just a tribal leader, not a warlord. It was not until a group of E countrymen came a few days ago that his people were armed. "

Weidong nodded, this was pretty much what he knew.

"Mayor Park, this is an extraordinary period. Our independent column has just arrived, so we still need to be cautious. Therefore, we will arrange large and small checkpoints in the city. Mayor Park, please explain it clearly to everyone.

Except for the officers and soldiers guarding the city, the rest of our independent column will live outside the city and will not disturb the normal life of the people.

Once the situation here stabilizes and Gan Dunzhu and Yishun'e are completely wiped out, we will set out and form a new people's government here!"

Park Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Yi Shun'e escaped, he had been in charge of the Fourth Prince Banner Town alone and managed it in an orderly manner. Apart from occasionally handing over some property to Yi Shun'e, no other taxes were collected.

However, such days were too worrying. I was afraid that Yishun'e would make a comeback and oppress the people, and I was also afraid that Gandunzhu would cause trouble. I was exhausted.

"That's great. Now that you're here, I can finally put down the burden on my shoulders!"

"No, Mayor Park. Our independent column is here to rescue everyone, not to disrupt everyone's lives. You still have to manage this town. As for the subsequent work arrangements, we will talk about it after our work team arrives.

Now you still have to carry this burden.

The people of the Four Princes Banner all listen to you, and we will still have to rely on you for help!"

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Park Xiuzhu temporarily agreed to take the job.

"Okay, your independent column has a good reputation. Even though the common people don't know about it, I know it! Don't worry, I will tell the common people.

In addition, the barracks of Yishun’e’s troops were originally located in the west end of the city. Now that they are empty, let the soldiers move in.”

Wei Dong stopped being polite and followed Park Xiuzhu to the military camp to settle the soldiers down.

Under Park Xiuzhu's comfort, the Fourth Prince Banner regained its former vitality. This border town, except for a few patrol teams and barricades on the streets, had no other changes.

Wei Dong ordered the artillery battalion to build artillery positions in the center of the city and mark the firing parameters in advance.

Then the four infantry battalions were responsible for guarding the four directions of the four princes' flags, namely the southeast, northwest, and northeast. The troops directly under the brigade were responsible for the security of the city.

The armored reconnaissance battalion was hidden to the north of the Fourth Prince Banner Town Government, ready to attack the enemy's cavalry at any time.

By evening, the troops had built fortifications and machine guns were on the city walls.

Wei Dong hosted a banquet in the military camp to entertain Pu Xiuzhu.

"You are too polite, Commander Wei. We should have hosted a welcoming party for you and the soldiers of the Independent Column, but our town hall has no spare money. Please forgive us!"

"You're welcome. The military and civilians are like one family. Mayor Park, please take good care of me in the Siwangzi Banner in the future."

"Of course. If you need any help from my old bones, just let me know!"

Weidong put down his chopsticks and took a breath.

"Mayor Park, speaking of helping, I really do have something I would like you to help me with?"

Seeing Wei Dong's serious expression, Pu Xiuzhu also put on a serious expression and put his elbows on the table.

"Captain Wei, please speak!"

"Then I won't be polite, Mayor Park, I have a question, I don't know why Gan Dunzhu suddenly formed a team to resist our independent column?"

"I don't know the specific reason. I just heard a rumor and told the brigade commander about it.

Originally, Gan Dunzhu was just a tribal leader, a title that was considered unreal. But later, the E countrymen came to him and asked him to lead his people to escape from the control of the Japanese.

This is actually a good thing, breaking away from the control of the Japanese and returning to the embrace of China.

But later I heard that the Mongolians were not going to return to China, but to merge with Outer Mongolia to the north to establish a Mongolian People's Republic belonging to the Mongolians themselves.

Isn't this divisive?

However, these herdsmen had no concept of the country. They identified more with their leaders than the government. Add to that the ethnic antagonism. As a result, the National Salvation Army was established! "

"Hiss, so not all the people in Gan Dunzhu's National Salvation Army are vicious criminals, and most of them are ordinary people who have been deceived?"

"Yes, that's right! Even Gan Dunzhu is probably just an ordinary master. He can't be considered a vicious person."

Wei Dong fell into deep thought. If he had to kill so many ignorant herdsmen to capture the Fourth Prince's Banner, the price would be too high!

"What about the personnel composition of Yishun'e's Puppet Mongolian Army Fifth Division?"

"Oh, those guys are just bastards who are determined to do the same thing as mine. They followed the Japanese and harmed our people. If I hadn't stopped them and tried to persuade them, I'm afraid most of the herdsmen in the Four Princes Banner would have been killed by them!"

Weidong now had a clear idea in his mind. Their goal now should be to win over Gan Dunzhu, split their so-called resistance alliance, and then completely annihilate the Fifth Division of the Pseudo-Mongolian Army!

But as Master Sangjue said, as long as these herdsmen hide their guns and blend into the yurts, they will be like a drop of rain entering the sea, leaving no trace.

If you search, you'll find nothing.

As soon as you leave, they come back again.

Therefore, we still have to mobilize the masses and root out the bad guys who are mixed in with the masses.

"Mayor Park, I have an unwelcome request. In order to protect the common people from suffering, please agree to it!"

"Tell me quickly, if I can do something for the people of the Fourth Prince Banner, I will be willing to do it even if it means breaking my old bones."

"If possible, please help me meet Gan Dunzhu. I want to persuade him to lay down his arms and ask the herdsmen to put down their guns. As long as they are willing to return to the side of the people, I promise to forgive them for their past!"

Park Xiuzhu stood up and picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Oh, that's great! I'll contact them tomorrow! No, tonight!"
