Chapter 367 Military Stick
When Yu Xiaoqing took the telegram and read it, his brows were furrowed like iron lumps.
Just now, a shell from Knuber's artillery battalion landed in front of Yu's position, and the two infantry battalions of the Sichuan Army Corps had begun moving towards their wings, cutting off their ground communication with Zenda.
"A bunch of trash!"
Yu Xiaoqing must have been furious, not only because of the Sichuan Army's bold actions, but more because of the incompetence of his own troops.
Yu Xiaoqing originally had three regiments, the first main regiment, the second main regiment, and Long Wenjian’s cannon fodder regiment.
Although they became friendly forces behind the cannon fodder group, they were still strong in both men and horses.
The First Main Regiment and the Second Main Regiment, as well as the special service battalion, tank battalion, guard company, and divisional artillery, total nearly 15,000 people.
According to the organization of the Chongqing troops at that time, in addition to the three infantry regiments, there were only company-level attached troops, with a combat force of only about 8000 people.
With so many attached troops, Master Yu could have been as large as an army in Chongqing at that difficult time.
Yu Xiaoqing didn't expect that his howling troops would be frightened and defeated by two infantry battalions and an artillery battalion.
In fact, it is not the fault of Yu Xiaoqing’s troops that they are not strong enough, but the power of the heavy howitzer is too terrifying.
The artillery battalion assigned to the Yu Division had only twelve mountain cannons, while an infantry battalion of the Sichuan Army Corps had an artillery company equipped with eight 75mm mountain cannons.
Moreover, the shells that fell in front of the Yu division's position were carefully selected 150mm howitzer shells by Krupp, which destroyed all grass within a radius of meters.
The explosion scene made the soldiers and officers of the Yu Division begin to doubt their lives. If another round of salvos came, the semi-permanent fortifications of their positions would not only fail to protect their safety, but would become their graves instead.
Yu Xiaoqing whispered four words into the communications soldier's ear: No retreat!
Tensions.
However, soon the sound of roaring engines was heard from the sky. A formation of thirty planes was flying low over Zenda, circling continuously.
Yu Xiaoqing then remembered that ten minutes before he went to watch the excitement, Baoshan Airport sent a telegram saying that the Flying Tigers were going to conduct routine combat readiness duty and flight training, and asked Commander Yu to be careful in identification and not to cause any accidental injuries!
Isn't this just a warning to him?
Thirty F6F Hellcat fighters flew low over the sky, and the huge bombs mounted under their bellies were clearly visible.
If it were just a battle of ground forces, Yu Xiaoqing would surely win.
With the addition of artillery, Yu Xiaoqing is confident that he can win a draw.
But with the addition of air force, it is still uncertain who will win in the end.
However, he also dared to conclude that as long as Master Yu did not do anything excessive, the Sichuan Army and Wang Meng would not attack them.
Such a big fuss is just to get an explanation.
Yu Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, then we'll go to court!"
Wang Meng took the walkie-talkie from Meng Fanle and shouted loudly:
"I am Wang Meng. All camps should rest in place!"
Yu Xiaoqing sat on a stool and asked the military police in question to explain what happened again.
When the people around heard this, they all shook their heads, thinking that the so-called affair was just speculation by the gendarmes and had no basis at all.
After listening to this, Yu Xiaoqing understood that it was no wonder that Wang Meng mobilized all his troops just for an explanation. If this happened to him, he would have drawn his gun and killed people long ago!
"Finished?"
The military police nodded fearfully and then said nothing.
"Each person receives twenty military sticks!"
Yu Xiaoqing turned around and looked at Wang Meng and Zhao Gang, seeing that they had no expression on their faces.
"Each person receives forty military sticks!"
The first five or six gendarmes were beaten so hard that they screamed and howled like ghosts. After the execution, they were dragged away.
"Political Commissar Zhao, Chief of Staff Wang, are you satisfied?"
Wang Meng pointed at He Shuguang behind Yu Xiaoqing.
"Commander Yu is indeed swift and resolute, and fair and strict, but you won't just beat up these military police and get away with it, right? You don't care about your own soldiers?"
He Shuguang was about to argue when he was scared away by a look from Yu Xiaoqing.
"Okay, then it's up to you! Forty military sticks!"
Zhang Lixian and a group of elite soldiers all took a step forward and began to plead for mercy.
"Commander! Forgive him this time, he is ignorant!"
"You don't understand? If you don't understand, then start to understand from this! He has been staying by my side all the time, but he has not learned anything else, but he has learned to take advantage of others' power. Today I will let him know that he should not always sit in the back of the jeep and wander around the Zen Hall with his bare chest!"
He Shuguang was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He lay on the ground and shouted at the military police holding military batons.
"Come on, forty military sticks!"
After forty blows of military sticks, He Shuguang didn't say a word, and was finally carried away by the elite soldiers like a dead dog.
"Are you satisfied now? Then let's go!"
This was equivalent to giving Yu Xiaoqing and Master Yu a slap in the face in public.
His Master Yu was certainly a good fighter, but he was also quite proud.
However, to put it nicely, it is pride, but to put it bluntly, it is arrogance and tyranny.
Bullying the Sichuan Army and parading around in Zenda, no one dared to mess with them! Just because they were the elite!
But now it’s different. With the Sichuan Army, they are no longer elite, but ordinary troops like the Sichuan Army, or even worse.
Their faults and pride must be pulled out one by one like the quills of a hedgehog, and of course there will be bloodshed.
And today, it is the elites' buttocks that are covered in blood and flesh.
Wang Meng stood up, stood on a stool, and shouted to the onlookers:
"Today you abused the families of our Independent Column's Sichuan Army Corps. You should be arrested and given twenty slaps each!"
The onlookers all lowered their heads and touched their faces, as if those slaps were about to hit them.
"However, considering that this is your first offense, all those who have scolded Xiaozui should leave their names and addresses. If it happens again, the military police of the Independent Column will come to your door! Don't even think about escaping or getting away with it. If you don't take the initiative to leave your name, you will be slapped forty times when you are exposed!"
Meng Fanle and Xiaozui looked at Wang Meng with gratitude. They were afraid that no one in Zenda would speak ill of them anymore in the future.
Under the protection of a battalion of Meng Fan, Xiaozui returned to the yard.
Zhao Gang's work has not yet been finished, and he is now even more anxious.
"Mengzi, it seems that Zenda's mass base is not very good now! I think we may have to develop our own local armed forces!"
Wang Meng nodded, that was indeed the case.
Without the support and assistance of the local people, the Japanese sneaked in without them knowing.
"Okay, then we can start with the military families, organize a women's rescue association, and then start a militia!"
Milong came closer to listen to the conversation between Wang Meng and Zhao Gang, showing a slightly embarrassed expression.
