At the Japanese and puppet army stronghold in Fengyun Town, except for a few Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet soldiers who were scattered throughout the stronghold on guard duty, all the remaining Japanese and puppet troops fell asleep.
The gunshots that suddenly rang out in Tianjia Village were barely heard here. However, the Japanese on duty still woke up the squadron leader immediately.
Because, there has been no gunfire in Fengyun Town for more than half a month.
However, the gunfire lasted too short, with dozens of gunshots ringing out before and after. Although the sleepy squadron leader was curious about who dared to touch the imperial army's brow at this time, he didn't take it seriously. Even if it took two days,
I had just received a reminder telegram from Major General Matsumoto and it was still on the table.
He frowned and began to issue orders: "Contact the nearby garrison immediately and ask them to go to Tianjiacun to find out what the gunshots were about just now, and then report it quickly!"
"Also, Lieutenant Inoue is reminded to be careful of the enemy's attacks in the east and west. The attack on Tianjiacun is false, but the attack on his stronghold is real."
Lieutenant Inoue's response was very fast. Before the squadron leader's order could be given, the three Japs led a squad of puppet troops to Tianjia Village to maintain the meeting. After waiting anxiously for nearly two hours, the reconnaissance troops finally returned.
"Captain, they are bandits. The bandits attacked the maintenance association in the village. Everyone in the maintenance association was killed by the bandits. Everyone had many fatal wounds on their bodies, including knife wounds and gunshot wounds." Leading the Japanese army, Sergeant Yi rushed to Lieutenant Inoue.
I reported it with lingering fear in front of me.
"Bandits... Are there any bandits in Fengyun Town? Also, although those people in the Maintenance Association have little fighting power, they have guns in their hands. Even if they were bandits who attacked them, they would not be wiped out in such a short time...
..." Lieutenant Inoue asked with an expression of disbelief.
Then he stared at the sergeant in front of him and asked: "Is it possible that it is the Eighth Route Army? They have been missing for such a long time and should be coming out soon?"
"Impossible..." Sergeant said without thinking.
"The Eighth Route Army is not that bloody. You don't know. There were both gunshot wounds and knife wounds on the bodies of more than a dozen people in the maintenance meeting. They must have been killed by bullets. The bandits were seeking revenge. In order to vent their hatred and anger, they used knives on the bodies.
Stab. The Eighth Route Army has strict discipline. No matter how much hatred they have against those people, they will not vent their anger on corpses."
The squad leader was silent for a few seconds and replied: "Your analysis makes sense, but there are too many doubts in it. After dawn tomorrow, I will go to Tianjiacun myself..."
At nine o'clock in the morning, a burst of neat footsteps sounded on the only stone-paved village road in Tianjia Village.
More than thirty Japanese soldiers, carrying rifles with mounted bayonets, and more than thirty lazy Wei troops, rushed into the village like a show of force.
The village that was lively just now suddenly became quiet, and everyone hid in their homes, fearing that it would attract the attention of the Japanese and lead to the destruction of their families.
Lieutenant Inoue was in the middle of the team, and he followed the troops directly into the Maintenance Association compound where the smell of blood still filled the air.
After carefully checking the bodies in the yard, he found nothing suspicious.
"Taijun, I have also seen the low-level officials in the room. All the finances have been robbed, only a small part of the food has been robbed, and all the weapons and ammunition of the maintenance committee have been robbed. It should be the bandits. In order to avoid our pursuit.
They only took away their finances and a small amount of food. If it was Tuba Road, they would definitely try their best to evacuate the entire maintenance association. They were so poor that they didn't even have enough to eat. It was impossible not to move out the maintenance association's warehouse.
Nearly a thousand kilograms of food..." The puppet company commander who was searching at the maintenance meeting reported with a depressed look.
The bandits robbed everything of the maintenance association. If nothing else happened, I would definitely gain nothing if I came out this time, and it would be impossible not to feel depressed.
Lieutenant Inoue frowned and said nothing.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he ordered: "Go and capture some Chinese people near the maintenance meeting. They are so close to the maintenance meeting. They must have seen a lot of things..."
In addition to the seven or eight panicked people, Wang Jianxin also came over.
Ordinary people's legs weakened when they saw the Japanese, let alone being held by several shining bayonets. Because of fear, they could not even say a smooth word, let alone understand the situation from their mouths.
Lieutenant Inoue directly turned his attention to Wang Jianxin.
"Wang Sang, you are the most prestigious gentleman in Tianjiacun and the most loyal friend of the empire. I want to know what happened in Tianjiacun last night?" Lieutenant Inoue knew Wang Jianxin and spoke with a hint of threat.
asked.
"Taijun, they are bandits. I am sure that they are killing people and shouting for revenge. It seems that some of the bandits' family members were killed by the president, and these people came here to seek revenge..."
"When we entered the village, they shouted for revenge and told us to hide in our homes and not come out, otherwise the bullets would not have eyes. However, I took a look through the crack of the door. There were more than a dozen of them. After killing everyone, each of them carried a big bag.
gone......"
Lieutenant Inoue said nothing and quickly turned his attention to the remaining civilians.
"Yes, it is...."
"Taijun...I...I also heard the bandits shouting...revenge..."
"Yes...it's a dozen bandits, I...I also saw it through the crack in the door..." Under the threat of bayonets, the frightened common people quickly replied.
Until this, Lieutenant Inoue chose to believe it.
With so many people, it was impossible for all of them to lie. And from the expressions of fear on their faces, Lieutenant Inoue was certain that what they just said was the truth.
Since it was a bandit seeking revenge, and the bandit escaped again, and the people who died were all idiots, Lieutenant Inoue just told him to investigate thoroughly and then stopped.
Wang Jianxin suddenly stood up at this time: "Taijun, you came here early in the morning, you must be tired. Do you want to go to the humble house to have a rest and drink some tea. I will ask the people in the village to prepare lunch for you Taijun, and say hello to you.
Let's all..."
Going out for a sweep, without any benefits, even if Lieutenant Inoue is the captain of the garrison appointed by his superiors, his soldiers will be dissatisfied with him and will not even obey his orders.
Seeing his subordinates behind him, especially those puppet soldiers, his eyes suddenly brightened up. Lieutenant Inoue had no choice but to stay even though he was reluctant.
Wang Jianxin was very generous. The puppet soldiers received a piece of gold for their hard work, and the Japanese and officers doubled the amount. As for Lieutenant Inoue, he directly took out gold bars worth five hundred oceans and gave them to him.
After the meal, both the puppet soldiers and the Japanese were very satisfied.
The puppet company commander who came with him saw the small yellow croaker sent by Wang Jianxin, and he and Wang Jianxin began to call each other brothers at the dinner table.
As for Lieutenant Inoue, although he didn't know why Wang Jianxin gave him such a big gift, he still accepted it. For the sake of the gold bar, Lieutenant Inoue looked at Wang Jianxin no longer unfamiliar at first.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Wang Jianxin directly stated his purpose to the puppet company commander.
"Captain Zhang, now that the president of the maintenance committee is dead, the position is vacant. Tell me, brother, is it possible for me to become the president of the maintenance committee... If Captain Zhang can help me, I will definitely remember you."
It's good, and the benefits will definitely come to you, Captain Zhang."
"Well, Wang Jianxin, it turns out you want to be the president of the Maintenance Committee..." Captain Zhang of the puppet army said with a look of sudden realization.
After thinking about the gold bars in his hand, Captain Zhang decided to help Wang Jianxin.
