The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 498
The next day.

Saburo Aoki got up early in the morning. He was in a good mood and was about to arrange for his soldiers to hang the sixteen corpses brought back last night outside the town.

This is his glory of killing the eight roads yesterday, if he doesn't show it, how can he show that he has a good command?

Recently, snipers of the Eighth Route Army have continued to sneak attacks, and many officers on the imperial side have been killed.

The position is vacant, and maybe with the merits of eliminating the Eighth Route Army this time, you can be promoted to one or two.

Just as he was thinking happily, a devil soldier who was in charge of guarding the sixteen corpses of the Eighth Route Army suddenly returned with a panicked face, and reported a few words in Saburo Aoki's ear.

"Nani?"

Aoki Saburo panicked, his heart was startled, he quickly asked the soldiers to lead the way, the two rushed all the way to the temporary morgue, Aoki Saburo saw those corpses whose trousers had been ripped off, revealing pieces of loincloth.

This loincloth is what the imperial people like to wear. When did Balu learn this tune?
A little confused!
But Saburo Aoki was unwilling to believe that the one he killed would be an imperial soldier.

On the other side, Shigeo Hiramatsu, the team leader of the advancing team who was in charge of testing Chenjiacun this time, returned to the county seat, his eyes spewing fire with anger.

This time it was a big loss, and it was still in the hands of one of our own people, the idiot of the empire who led the team yesterday!
The plan to pretend to be the Eighth Route Army to test the village also fell short.

After returning to Yangquan with the advancing team that had been severely damaged by himself, Shigeo Hiramatsu was furious and complained to the Japanese captain Joo Nakahara who was stationed in Yangquan.

After hearing the news, Captain Zhongyuan Zhangxiong of the devil team immediately contacted the headquarters of Tangyuan town by communication.

After hearing the news, Captain Iji Asahi, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Tangyuan Town, recalled Saburo Aoki and scolded him.

Saburo Aoki felt aggrieved when he learned the ins and outs of the incident, "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, they are all wearing eight-way clothes, and the villagers suddenly came to announce the news. How did I know that they were actually the ones who advanced into the team?"

Jing Jima scolded: "After the battle started, you didn't ask what the identity of the opponent is?"

The situation was so urgent at that time, who had the spare time to ask the identity of the person opposite?

Do you have to ask a question before firing when you meet a team wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army: Hello, are you the Eighth Route Army?
Of course, Saburo Aoki didn't dare to say these words, he just lowered his head and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Saburo Aoki of the advance team doesn't think much of it.

In Saburo Aoki's view, these guys did not dare to confront the Eighth Route Army head-on, but imitated those traitor spies and used some disguise to infiltrate.

Inijima's attitude towards the advance team is actually similar to that of Saburo Aoki.

Seeing that Saburo Aoki lowered his head to admit his mistake, Ijima finished cursing, and said in relief: "Mr. Aoki, since the matter has already happened, it is useless to regret it, it is better to pay off the merit.

Regarding the advance team, your Excellency the captain has already spoken for you and saved you. Otherwise, the loss you caused to advance and those guys this time would not be an exaggeration even if you cut yourself open. "

"Hi, thank you, Captain, and thank you, Squadron Leader!" Saburo Aoki thanked quickly.

Jing Jima sighed, and said: "Forget it, Aoki-kun, next time you encounter such a thing, please be cautious. It is best to check the other party's true identity before making a move."

"Recently, the advance team will infiltrate the surrounding areas of the Eighth Route Army base area, and we will inevitably encounter them."

"Hi!"

"By the way, how did the villagers of Chenjia Village behave in this battle? Is Chenjia Village suspected of being secretly connected?"

Saburo Aoki hesitated for a moment, he thought of the villagers complaining at that time, and he led the team to Chenjia Village.

The old village chief and his entourage have been urging him to launch an attack, and even the Eighth Route Society's escape from the backyard has been arranged in advance.

Did those villagers do it on purpose?

No... Saburo Aoki shook his head in his heart, and quickly denied this conjecture. The villagers only thought that it was the Eighth Route Army, and it was said that they were entertained with delicious food. The town informs.

At the end of the battle, the old village head also stated that whenever he encounters the Eight Routes in the future, he will immediately report to Saburo Aoki.

Even Saburo Aoki has generously given out the rewards for tipping off to the villagers of Chenjia Village.

Thinking of this, Saburo Aoki had an answer, "No, Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the villagers of Chenjia Village have taken the initiative to report the situation of the Eighth Route Army, and they should not have any collusion with the Eighth Route Army."

"Really?" Jing Cima asked back, but he didn't want to seek an answer. He continued: "From this incident, it is impossible to see whether the villagers in Chenjia Village have colluded with Eight Roads, but we still Don’t take it lightly, just keep trying.”

Saburo Aoki asked doubtfully: "How to test?"

Jing Cima said together: "For grain collection, Chenjia Village has no reason to collect grain for a while, let the grain collection team hurry up and let the people of Chenjia Village pay the tax and food."

"Hi!" Aoki Saburo responded.

……

in the afternoon.

Most of the devil's grain collection team composed of traitors rushed to Chenjiazhuang, found the old village head, and collected taxes and grain.

In the period of war and troubles, a group of fake Eight Routes was arrested yesterday, and now they are coming to collect food again.

The old village chief secretly planned countermeasures in his heart. On the surface, he took the initiative to flatter and smiled, "Boss, no, you also know the situation. Our village only paid taxes and grains once in the first half of the year. Why do we have to collect grains again?" ?”

The traitor leader of the food requisition team snorted coldly with a stinky face: "Then I can't control it anymore. The order for food requisition was issued by the imperial army. Maybe it was a tax increase. Anyway, you give me the food." Just come up."

Recently, the devils pretended to implement a policy of being close to the people. Compared with the previous method of collecting food, the method of collecting food this time was a little gentler, and did not directly express that they would grab it hard.

The old village chief thought that this batch of grain could not be kept, so he smiled and said: "Boss, so, please tell the majesty that we must pay the grain, but we can't get out so much grain at once." , we have to give us a week so that I can mobilize the folks and raise money properly, right?"

The traitor said a few words in the ear of the ghost on the side, the devil nodded, the traitor turned his head and said: "Three days, I can only give you three days, old village chief, you Chenjiacun has always been on time." Those who pay taxes and grains are good citizens in the eyes of the imperial army, so don't disappoint the imperial army's expectations of you."

"Of course, it must be!" The old village head laughed along with him.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers of the food requisition team then left.

As soon as the devils and puppet soldiers left, the village was full of curses.

The old village head and some villagers in the village gathered together to discuss the matter.

It should be said that Chenjiacun had no choice but to pay taxes and food to the devils on time.

But since the armed forces team came here, the old village head and the villagers who understand the righteousness said:
In the future, it will be for comrades of the Eighth Route Army. When there is food, it will also be an anti-Japanese food raised for comrades of the Eighth Route Army.

How many victories have been fought and how many devils and traitors have been killed by the independent regiment led by Captain Kong!He has already made a name for himself.

"We have raised part of the food, but that is the anti-Japanese food for comrades of the Eighth Route Army. How can we give it to the little devil?"

"That is, from now on, the little devil will never get any of our food."

Several respected villagers in the village, you said one sentence to another.

The old village head said: "The food must not be given to the little devils, but we have to think of a clever way to send the food indirectly to the comrades of the Eighth Route Army, so that the devils will not have any second thoughts."

The gazes of several villagers immediately turned towards the old village chief.

"Village Chief, do you have another idea?"

The old village chief, who was over half a century old, stroked his gray beard that had been growing for a long time, and said with a smile, "It's very simple, like this, like this..."

Three days later.

The grain requisition team arrived as scheduled, and the old village head also followed the agreement and asked the people to pile up the raised grain on the rice field.

The devil's taxation has never been low. The crops grown by the people in the farmland are basically in the pockets of the little devil. This time the taxes and grain collected are quite a lot, and the grain packed in sacks is piled up into a hill.

The food requisition team formed by the devils and puppet troops came this time with five or sixty people, driving seven or eight carriages.

After entering the village, seeing the bags of grain piled up on the rice field, the devil and the traitor leader showed smiles on their faces, while praising Chenjia Village for being good people, they started to arrange the devils and puppet troops. Soldiers loaded grain into carts.

The old village head also called on the villagers to help load the car, and the leader of the devil team felt more and more the simplicity of the folk customs in Chenjia Village.

Unexpectedly, the food had just been loaded into the carts, and the devil's grain requisition team had not yet reached the entrance of the village with the carts drawn by donkeys and horses to transport the grains!

Suddenly gunshots rang out.

The gunshots rang out from the village head area, and suddenly a large number of soldiers wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms poured out from all directions. When they saw devils and puppet soldiers, they raised their guns and shot.

Someone from the Eighth Route Camp yelled, "Captain, the devils really came to fetch food. We followed the devils' carriage, and we followed the devils right."

When the two sides exchanged fire, the villagers who had been arranged by the old village chief left the village quietly and rushed to the direction of Tangyuan Town to report the situation.

Of course, the speed had to be right, and the comrades of the Eighth Route Army had to make sure that the devils and puppet soldiers in the food requisition team were almost cleaned up, and then they rushed to the town with the Japanese reinforcements in a leisurely manner.

The few villagers who came to report on this kind of thing have long been familiar with the road, and there is still time to rest and smoke on the road.

One of the villagers was still thinking about what to add to his mother-in-law after getting the reward from the devil this time!
In this way, when the two villagers rushed all the way to Chenjia Village with the Japanese reinforcements from Tangyuan Town, there were only the last sounds of gunfire in Chenjia Village.

This time it was the Japanese squad leader Saburo Aoki who led the reinforcements. When Saburo Aoki led the team into the village, some devils and puppet soldiers who had survived hiding in the cottages rushed over in embarrassment.

When the old village head saw Aoki Saburo, he trotted over quickly, with a sad face on his face, and when he opened his mouth, his words were sad:
"Taijun Aoki, you are finally here, you are so murderous these days! You have stolen all the tax and food that the villagers have saved for the imperial army with great difficulty!"

"Taijun Aoki, the folks are about to die!"

An old man who was over half a century almost wiped his nose and cried beside you, and Saburo Aoki didn't know how to deal with it. He casually gave a few words of relief, and turned his head towards the remaining ghosts and puppet soldiers of the food collection team who rushed over, and angrily said: " what happened?"

The devil captain of the food requisition team (not as good as Saburo Aoki in military rank) quickly replied: "Sir, we just escorted the food, but we encountered a surprise attack from the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army fired fiercely, and we suffered heavy casualties. The food is gone."

"Baga, why did Balu appear suddenly? Is it such a coincidence?" Saburo Aoki, who raised doubts, also had doubts in his heart.

The traitor leader went on to say: "Taijun, during the previous battle, I heard the eight roads over there shouting, it seems that they followed our grain requisition team all the way."

"Bastard!" Aoki Saburo cursed, and then asked, "Which direction did Tubalu run from?"

The traitor replied for the first time: "Taijun, he ran from the mountain road in the back village."

"Chase!" Saburo Aoki ordered.

The old village chief continued to cry from the side, "These gods kill the eight roads! Mr. Aoki, the villagers saved the food for the imperial army when they were hungry, and now they are snatched by the gods murdered by the eight roads. How do the folks still live?"

Saburo Aoki frowned and said in relief: "Old village chief, don't worry, the imperial army will get back the food that was robbed by the Eighth Route Army for you."

"Then we have already..."

"Don't worry, you've already handed it over."

"Thank you Taijun, thank you Aoki Taijun!" The old village head quickly thanked.

Aoki Saburo ignored the villagers, turned around and led the team, and chased the Eighth Route Army troops who had robbed the food in the direction of Houcun.

Looking at the Japanese and puppet troops who came and went in a hurry.

The old village head settled down, put away his original sorrow, and smiled at the villagers beside him: "I see, the anti-Japanese rations we collected for the comrades of the Eighth Route Army will be sent out now?"

The surrounding villagers all showed smiles. They were old and smart, and the old village chief had a trick.

As for why the eight-way team suddenly appeared here, they also happened to snatch the tax and food that the devil's grain collection team had just obtained.

Naturally, it wasn't because the Eighth Route Army had a wide range of eyesight, following the food requisition team of the Devils and Puppet Army.

The enemy's rear battlefield is so vast, and the devil's food requisition team set out at random. There are traffic arteries everywhere on the way, and there are devil's strongholds guarded by gun towers. Where did the eighth road get the news?

Naturally, the old village chief deliberately asked for three days as a delay, and then secretly notified the martial arts team. The martial arts team then contacted some combat troops to prepare in advance, and then rushed to the time to cooperate with the old village chief and his party. After a scene, he successfully snatched away the tax and food originally given to the devil...
