Chapter 232 Fighting for Credit
As Chen San and the others waited anxiously, Elder Gao finally brought over three carriages. Two of the carriages had canopies.
Without delay, Chen San immediately ordered his soldiers to move the Emperor and his family into a carriage and lock them up. Then, he loaded some guns and other spoils of war onto the flatbed cart.
A group of people escorted the three carriages back!
Along the way, they acquired two more large trucks, and all three flatbeds were piled high with various materials.
Teams like theirs were not uncommon on the battlefield; many units sent people back to deliver spoils of war. Chen San's group did not attract much attention from others.
"Company commander, just in case, I'll go find the regimental commander first and have him come to the defensive line to pick up the men. The south side isn't the Fifth Division's defensive line; going that way is the safest!"
With only a few miles to go before reaching the encirclement, Mei Zhengyou led a few soldiers to deliver the message, while Chen San led the main force to follow slowly.
"Damn it! They're all living the high life in Tokyo, while I'm stuck here picking up scraps." Mo Biao was throwing a tantrum in the command post.
His regiment was the first unit of the New Army to enter the city, and they were fighting fiercely inside. Because they fought so fiercely and advanced so quickly, they were the closest to the north of the city and were sent out to support the Fifth Division.
Seeing his prize money slip away, Mo Biao felt a nameless rage with nowhere to vent it. They already had enough battle merits; all they wanted was to acquire more wealth.
Although we captured quite a lot while pursuing the Japanese army, it certainly couldn't compare to what we got in the city.
"The division commander is so unfair! He treats us like stepchildren. We never get any of the good things!"
"Old Mo, shut up! How dare you make up stories about the division commander!" Deputy Regiment Commander Zou Lin quickly chased the others out.
"Can't you just tone it down a bit? You've caused enough trouble with that lousy mouth of yours!" Zou Lin pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him.
"It's just some spoils of war! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Our regiment was the first to break through the city this time, so our merits will definitely be considerable. At this crucial moment, instead of keeping a low profile, you're here complaining. Do you really want to be a regimental commander for life?"
Zou Lin couldn't help but shake his head. His experience as a regimental commander was quite extensive. He came from the Wuwei Army and was an instructor when the new army was formed. He started as a company commander and became a battalion commander when the First Division of the Shandong New Army was established.
Who would have thought that over the years, he'd never make a major mistake, but he'd constantly make minor ones. And since he refused to go to military school, he's still just a regimental commander.
His contemporaries had long since risen through the ranks. For example, Jiao Long, who was his earliest partner, is now a deputy division commander.
Even his old subordinate Zhang Tieniu has now been promoted to senior colonel and brigade commander. He's still as shameless as ever, carrying a colonel's badge without a care in the world.
The First Division Commander, Shen Daowu, took a liking to him and specially recruited him to the First Division. This kid didn't know how to be grateful and even dared to gossip about him behind his back.
Although everyone knows he just has a foul mouth and is actually a very straightforward guy, you can't just say things like that, boss!
Zou Lin gets a headache just thinking about it!
"Report! Political Instructor Mei Zhengyou of the First Company, Third Battalion, has important military intelligence to report!" the guard suddenly announced as he entered.
"The 1st Company of the 3rd Battalion! Chen San's company, what important military intelligence do they have?" Zou Lin and Mo Biao exchanged a glance.
"Let him in right away!"
Chen San was also the most senior company commander; Mo Biao had known him for a long time.
Mei Zhengyou was quickly brought into the regimental headquarters!
"What did you say? You captured the Emperor!"
With a loud bang, Mo Biao slammed his fist on the table. He stood up excitedly.
“That should be it, Commander!” Mei Zhengyou then briefly recounted the events.
"Okay, okay, where is he?" Mo Biao asked, rubbing his hands together.
“It’s like this, Commander, Deputy Commander…” Mei Zhengyou repeated his concerns and arrangements.
"Very good, you've thought of everything very thoroughly. These were all your ideas, weren't they? Chen San, that roughneck, would never have thought of them!" Mo Biao nodded approvingly at Mei Zhengyou.
"There's no time to lose, Lao Zhou, let's go together. We'll meet them at the blockade!"
"Their concerns are valid; Cai Shixiong is capable of doing something like that! But I'm not afraid of him! Hehe!"
Cai Shixiong also came from the Wuwei Army. Although he was a battalion commander before he came here, while Mo Biao was just an outsider, Cai Shixiong is now a division commander. However, Mo Biao is not afraid of him.
Mo Biao grabbed his pistol, and the group hurriedly walked outside.
"I don't know what I ate for dinner, my stomach is upset today, I've thrown up a few times! Ugh!"
