Chapter 165: The Commander Asks for Punishment
"Twenty kilometers?!"
Upon hearing this, all the people were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they broke out in cold sweat.
Even the old mayor couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Yuan Shuai then took off his military cap and bowed to the old mayor to apologize.
"Everyone, I was indeed reckless just now. I apologize to you all, but I really did it for your sake. Look, there are many children among you. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the children!"
"Old mayor, he is right. If the Japanese artillery shells really hit here, we will be finished!"
"The child is only one year old, I'd better take him away quickly!"
"Let's leave quickly too!"
"Old mayor, you should leave as well. You are old now, don't drag down these soldiers!"
Some people did not forget to remind the old mayor as they walked.
"I...ah, damned little Japs, damned little Japs, this general was just being old-fashioned! You're right, if not for ourselves, we should at least think about the children. Let's retreat, everyone retreat quickly, make room for the generals, and leave some food for them. They came all the way here to help us fight the Japs, it's not easy!"
The old mayor quickly asked the people to evacuate.
Looking at the scene of people evacuating, both Lu Huawei and Jiang Zhengwu were dumbfounded.
They just refused to shoot.
When Hu Dacai and others opened fire, their hearts were in their mouths.
After all, this is an ordinary people's house.
If the common people started a quarrel with Yuan Shuai and others, and the matter reached higher authorities, there would be no way to resolve it.
By then, this guy Yuan Shuai might be dragged to the execution ground and shot to serve as an example and to quell the people's resentment.
But who would have thought that Yuan Shuai would make the people withdraw with just a few words.
Not only did the people not blame us, they also took the initiative to leave some food and vegetables.
Damn, this is more effective than any sincere persuasion.
In a short while, all the people in the town were evacuated.
Not only that, some people quickly notified the surrounding villages and asked the villagers to evacuate quickly.
However, some villagers withdrew, but some villagers did not want to leave their homes and chose to stay.
Yuan Shuai didn't know about these things, and he didn't have enough time to care about them.
He asked the team to take the time to rest and eat in Yangliu Town so that the brothers could recover their strength.
However, when Tao Lu, the commander of the 62nd Division, heard that Yuan Shuai had shot at civilian houses, he was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed.
"The damn Black Wolf Army is nothing but bandits and robbers. Come on, prepare the car. I want to go there myself!"
He was very clear about the relationship between the army and the people. Once the relationship was broken and they lost the support of the people, their food and supplies would be in trouble.
Moreover, this is his defense zone, and once the blame is placed on him, he cannot escape responsibility.
In Yangliu Town, after finishing his meal, Yuan Shuai asked him to collect various iron nails, horse king nails, wild boar traps, iron sand, lime powder and other materials, and even had people dismantle the wooden boards of some dilapidated houses.
Although the team was following orders, many people still didn't understand.
It would be fine if we just lived in someone else's house, but we actually want to demolish it.
What kind of army are we? How is this different from bandits?
Even the monkey and the fat man couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, aren't we going too far?"
"It's better not to tear it down, it's such a pity!"
Yuan Shuai was about to explain when gunshots were heard in the distance ahead, followed by a jeep and several cars speeding towards them.
"Everyone, stop it!"
The convoy stopped and Tao Lu stood on the open jeep and roared loudly.
"Yi Jiachan, are you still soldiers? You are a bunch of bandits! Call your supreme commander over!"
Accompanied by his shouting.
His guards immediately got out of the car and pointed their guns at the surroundings.
However, the Black Wolf Army was no pushover. When they saw something was wrong, they confronted each other with guns drawn.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? We are all Chinese. Chinese don't fight Chinese. Put your guns away!"
Yuan Shuai shouted and rolled his eyes.
Seeing the look in his eyes, the brother not only did not put away his gun, but instead became prepared.
After all, you can't lose momentum!
As long as they don't put down their guns, the other party will not dare to do anything.
Yuan Shuai quickly ran to the jeep and saluted.
"The Black Wolf Army's Supreme Commander Yuan Shuai reports to the division commander!"
"You are Yuan Shuai!?"
Tao Lu was stunned.
The soldiers around also looked at each other in bewilderment.
Because Yuan Shuai is only a sixteen-year-old boy, and his face still looks childish.
You're so young and you're already the leader of the Black Wolf Army, you must be kidding.
"Damn it, don't fool me, call the leader of your Black Wolf Army over here!"
Tao Lu gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
"Report to the division commander, he is indeed the leader of our Black Wolf Army!"
"That's right, Commander, he is indeed our boss!"
At this time, Lu Huawei and Jiang Zhengwu each ran over with their guards.
"Aren't you Lu Huahua? Why did you join the Black Wolf Army?"
Tao Lu had met Lu Hua once before, and he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that Lu Hua called Yuan Shuai "boss".
Moreover, Jiang Zhengwu was also the head of the Northwest Bureau, and his badge is still there.
An old Northwest Army Corps commander who is in his thirties actually calls Yuan Shuai the boss.
What the hell, what ability does Yuan Shuai have that could make the commander of the Gui Army's Wolf Soldier Regiment and the commander of the Northwest Broadsword Team sincerely call him the boss.
Lu Hua gave an awkward explanation.
"We were separated, and it was the brothers of the Black Wolf Army who saved us! Later, we had no choice but to join the Black Wolf Army, but we joined voluntarily! Because joining the Black Wolf Army can help us win battles and save the lives of fewer brothers!"
Lu Hua spoke out what was in his heart.
Tao Lu gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
"You are the Gui army, the wolf soldiers. Even if you join the Black Wolf Army, you should not follow them to do evil, drive away the people, and demolish people's houses!"
"I……"
Lu Hua didn't know how to explain and could only look at Yuan Shuai helplessly.
Yuan Shuai explained without fear.
"Report to the division commander, we did not drive the people away, they left on their own. Besides, Yangliu Town is less than 15 kilometers away from the coastline, and the Japanese naval guns have a long range. The 127-year type 50mm/18.4-caliber naval gun has a maximum range of 155 kilometers, the 27.4 naval gun has a maximum range of 50 kilometers, the 200-caliber 1mm 22.6-year type 50 main gun has a maximum range of 200 kilometers, the 2-caliber 28.9mm 45-year type 203 main gun has a maximum range of 18 kilometers, and the -caliber mm -year main gun has a maximum range of kilometers."
"The entire Yangliu Town is within the maximum range of the Japanese naval guns. I asked them to retreat to protect them!"
"I……"
Tao Lu was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
He was in the army, and he knew that the Japanese naval guns could fire very far and had great destructive power, but he did not understand the Japanese naval guns and could not remember so many types of naval guns and their specific maximum ranges.
But this little brat in front of me actually knows so much about naval guns.
He quickly looked at the chief of staff beside him.
