Chapter 234 6. Capture Kang Ze alive and win a complete victory

During the mobilization of this siege battle, our army headquarters put forward three slogans: capture 10,000 prisoners alive; capture the American chemical mortar intact; capture the spy chief Kang Ze alive. The battle is over, and the first two slogans have been fully realized, but Kang Ze's whereabouts have not been found.This is just as the head of the column said, if Xiangyang cannot be captured and Kang Ze is captured, then the battle is only half won.This made Yu Fukun, the commander of the attack on Kang Ze's headquarters, very anxious. He called for the deputy instructor of the 2nd Battalion, Yao Bingren, and issued an order: "You immediately take someone to find Kang Ze! You must see people, and you must die." See the corpse! We must not let him escape!"

The search for Kang Ze started nervously.In the middle of the rush, there was a burst of jubilant cheers from the field: "Kang Ze has been caught!" In the crowd, several soldiers escorted a big fat man, who looked like a high-ranking officer. "Deputy instructor, we have caught Kang Ze." Yao Bingren hurried over to ask the fat man, and the fat man hurriedly argued: "No, no, I am not Kang Ze, I am the deputy commander Guo Xunqi." Guo Xunqi took the initiative to make a series of explanations to our army. He said that he was not a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, had a position but no power here, and was insulted and monitored by Kang Ze.And stated that he knew Commander Liu Bocheng.The soldiers told him not to be afraid, our army treated the prisoners preferentially and would never hurt him.Guo Xunqi was sent to the headquarters shortly after. Commander Liu talked to him and encouraged him to recognize the situation and stand on the side of the people.Soon he was released back to Sichuan. Sure enough, he played a role in instigating rebellion, which is a later story.

The search continued, and Yao Bingren found out from the captives Fu Qirong, Kang Ze's adjutant, and repeatedly mobilized him to tell Kang Ze's whereabouts.At first, Fu Qirong was still apprehensive, but after seeing the fact that our army did treat the prisoners leniently, he finally agreed: "Come with me, I will guide you to find him!" Yao Bingren took three or four soldiers including correspondent Gao Huaili, and followed Fu Qirong to the gate of Kangze's headquarters.Not far from the door is a dark cave, which can only allow one person to enter and exit.Below the hole is a tunnel, narrow and dark, filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, which makes people sick.Turning another corner, another big pit appeared. After passing through this pit, on a slope, there was a hole leading to the ground, and a dead body was hanging upside down from the hole.The correspondent dragged the dead body away, and then jumped up from the hole. It turned out that there was a small bunker that was blown up, and the bunker was full of dead bodies.

Due to the dim light, Bingren was asked to pick up a flashlight to check. Suddenly, one of the "dead corpses" suddenly got up, and a pair of frightened eyes blinked on the blood-stained face.When Fu Qirong saw the "dead body", he turned around and ran away as if he had been electrocuted. "Why are you running!" A messenger behind grabbed him.The deputy instructor then asked him: "Is that Kang Ze?!" Fu Qirong replied in a low voice: "Yes, yes, I dare not see him!" When Yao Bingren heard that it was Kang Ze, he took a step towards the "dead body" He yelled sharply: "Are you Kang Ze?" "I'm an officer, get me out!" The guy replied tremblingly.Bingren had to carefully take a picture with a flashlight, and saw that this guy was short and fat, wearing a grass-green shirt and a pair of shorts, with socks on only one foot, looking embarrassed and disgusting.Asking Bingren to take him to the courtyard, the prisoners shouted secretly: "Commander Kang has been caught!"

All units of our army coordinated and wiped out the enemy in Xiangyang by noon on the 16th, and captured the enemy's 15th Sui District Commander Kang Ze and Deputy Commander Guo Xunqi.So far, Xiangyang, an ancient city ravaged by the enemy, has finally returned to the embrace of the people.In this service, more than 3,500 enemies were killed and injured, and more than 17,000 enemies were captured alive.
