Chapter 66: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

Passing through the city, only five miles out of the city gate, a large courtyard surrounded by a high wall of blue bricks is already in sight. Perhaps because this large courtyard had just been forcibly occupied by the Japanese army and used as a granary, the two watchtowers erected in the courtyard were made of wood, and even the two fortifications built with sandbags in front of the courtyard gate were of different heights and sizes, so that people could feel at a glance that the people who built these fortifications were in a hurry.

Perhaps for the convenience of defense, many holes were carved into the blue brick walls at various heights that served as shooting holes, and in several holes, the barrels of rifles with bayonets protruded. Outside the courtyard wall, more than ten zhang away, many strong men who looked like they were forcibly pulled by the Japanese army, under the supervision of several Japanese soldiers, piled up bundles of firewood and grass into many stacks of firewood, and then poured buckets of kerosene on the stacked stacks of firewood......

Squinting at the stacks of firewood that were piled up enough to be tall enough for one person, the group of chestnuts walking beside Mo Tianliu couldn't help but hum in a low voice: "This little devil is really a bit of a ghost...... There is a flat ocean around this large courtyard, there is no grass and trees, no crops, if you want to attack, you can't rush forward during the day, so you have to call the little devil's firepower back. But if you want to do it at night, the little devils only need to put those firewood stacks a little bit, and they hide in the dark to shoot and shoot in the bright places, then it is the same as shooting live targets, it must be one shot at a time! ”

Snorting very unconvinced, Mo Tianliu nodded at a few Japanese soldiers standing in front of the gate of the big courtyard: "Isn't the devil just relying on a large number of people and a good gun?" We also have machine guns in our hands, as long as there are enough people and horses, I don't believe we can't take this broken yard! ”

"Tianliu, the matter of war must not be careless! Do you see the holes in the walls that are almost open to the ground? Behind that hole, there must be a Japanese machine gun ambush! When the time comes, the bullets will hit the ground, and there will be no potholes at all, and the attackers will have nowhere to hide if they want to! If you look at the direction of the courtyard wall, if there are machine guns after the perforations in the shape of one high and two low 'pins', the crossfire can seal a large area......"

While slowly walking in the direction of the large courtyard, the chestnut group whispered to Mo Tianliu to point out the situation of the Japanese army relying on the buildings around the courtyard and the relevant reasoning, until the Japanese soldiers guarding the gate of the large courtyard pulled the bolt of the gun and let out a piercing shout. The chestnut group stopped, stretched out his hand and patted Mo Tianliu's waist: "Tianliu, it's up to you!" ”

Nodding slightly, Mo Tianliu pulled down the plaster flag planted in the cart, and waved it vigorously at the Japanese soldiers who aimed their guns at the convoy, and shouted loudly: "We are here to deliver food to the imperial army...... The He family is also ...... What are we looking for to translate ......?"

Just after a few shouts, from the half-open courtyard gate, He Luoya, who was born with a fat head and big ears, had already stumbled out of the courtyard and shouted at several Japanese soldiers in Japanese: "Don't shoot!" Don't shoot....... It's my father...... Friendly merchants, who came to deliver food to the imperial army...... Your Excellency Shenjing, please be free to restrain ......."

With He Luoya's anxious shout, Taro Fukai, who was wearing only a shirt on his upper body and military pants and boots on his lower body, had a pair of red eyes, and smashed out of the courtyard door with a half-empty wine bottle in his hand. Looking at Mo Tianliu, who was waving the plaster flag not far away, and then looking at the long list of carts full of food bags behind Mo Tianliu, Fukai Taro waved his hand at several Japanese soldiers who had taken shooting poses according to the gun, signaling those Japanese soldiers to put down the 38 big cover in their hands, but stared at He Luoya, who was full of panic, and shouted: "It's you who are in ...... The father of the He family, right? ”

didn't care about the obvious language problem in Fukai Taro's words at all, He Luoya nodded in a panic: "Yes!" My father personally came to deliver rations to the Imperial Army, and asked His Excellency Fukai to check ......"

Holding the wine bottle, Taro Fukai poured a few sips of Japanese sake, and then exhaled a mouthful of wine at He Luoya's face: "You go and see it first, if it's not wheat, then ask them to send it to the military camp of the Imperial Army!" ”

With a promise, He Luoya reached out and covered the Japanese combat cap on his head, and trotted all the way straight to the convoy transporting grain. There was still a long way to go from the convoy, and He Luoya was already shouting at the rich man He who had just been helped out of the car by Sha Bangcui: "Dad, why did you come here to join in the fun?" Is this how much food our family has......"

While shouting and running, when He Luoya ran to the side of the ashen rich man, he felt that something was wrong - why was it only a few days of hard work, and there were so many fresh-faced courtyard guards around the rich man?

Especially...... Don't even have a familiar face?

Without waiting for He Luoya to subconsciously reach out and touch the holster hanging behind his buttocks, Mo Tianliu had already casually inserted the plaster flag in his hand towards the cart, and shouted at He Luoya in a low voice: "Translator He, don't shout and move!" Your dad can have a grenade tied to him, and he will explode when he pulls it! ”

Almost as Mo Tianliu's colleague lowered his mouth, the group of chestnuts dressed as gunmen in the courtyard walked forward a few steps without a trace, just approaching He Luoya's side, and with the cover of He Luoya's body, he turned his hand and felt the dagger in his sleeve, and gently pressed it against He Luoya's bulging belly!

Stiffening his body, He Luoya forcibly endured the feeling of fear in his heart, and lowered his voice and shouted to Mo Tianliu: "You are ...... Which way is it? This is Qingle County, there is a hundred and ten imperial army behind me, you still dare to make trouble here? Don't want to live anymore? ”

Nodding solemnly, Mo Tianliu also replied with a suppressed voice: "He Yi, you are right!" The grain in the ten miles and eight townships and villages in Qingle County is almost all snatched up by the devils and the second devils, and the farmers who farm the land will starve to death when they see it! I can't live left and right, so I just come here to beg for a life that I don't want to live! Anyway, with the two of you and the He family on their backs, we still have a companion on the way to the underworld! ”

Gently poked He Luoya's stomach with the tip of the dagger, and the chestnut group almost whispered in He Luoya's ear: "He Yi, do you really want me to put a knife on your neck before you are willing to tell the truth?" The devils and the second devils in Qingle County almost all went to the countryside to grab grain, and now the devils guarding in this granary are in their twenties! I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, we came this time, and we are running for the food that the devil snatched! If you don't want to die, and you don't want your father to die with you, then be obedient! ”

The cold sweat on his forehead trickled down, and He Luoya saw that the chestnut group had figured out the details of the devils behind him, and suddenly he was out of order to support the bravado posture, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Heroes, the rules on the rivers and lakes are not a disaster for the family!" You came to find the bad luck of the imperial army, but you can't tie up my father too......."

Glaring at He Luoya suddenly, Mo Tianliu shouted in a low voice: "There is still one rule in the rules of the rivers and lakes that you are not allowed to eat inside and out!" You helped the devils to plague the villagers in Qingle County, did you say that you committed this article? If you dare not listen to the greetings and climb indiscriminately, Lao Tzu immediately lit your sky lantern according to the rules of the rivers and lakes! Don't talk nonsense, tell the devil that the grain on the cart is all miscellaneous grains, and the wheat has asked the Imperial Association Army to go to their barracks! ”

was just stunned for a moment, and He Luoya suddenly came back to his senses: "Hero, are you trying to play a trick to lead the water to the east and divert the tiger from the mountain?" But that's what I'm going to say...... The imperial army turned around and saw that the granary had been robbed by you, so I ...... And my dad, but it's still a dead ......."

Slightly loosening the dagger on He Luoya's stomach, the chestnut group shouted in a low voice: "As long as you father and son cooperate with us, we have a way to let your father and son save their lives!" Hurry up, tell the devil what we commanded! ”

Raising his eyes to look at the gray face of the rich man He, He Luoya sighed heavily, slowly turned around helplessly, and shouted loudly to Fukai Taro who was standing in front of the courtyard gate: "Your Excellency Shenjing, I'm afraid...... There are some little ...... Faults. On the way to the grain depot, some wheat was taken to the barracks by the Imperial Army. What was delivered to the granary was all some miscellaneous grains. ”

With red eyes, Taro Fukai, who had already drunk the bottle of sake in his hand, could hardly believe his ears!

Since the failure of the operation to conquer Tujia Village, Taro Fukai, who has returned home, has been slapped more than a dozen times in the office of the half-guards in front of the island. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one at hand, I'm afraid that the half-guards in front of the island would not hesitate to order Taro Fukai to apologize - the samurai of the Imperial Japanese Army were actually beaten to the ground by a few bandits, is there anything more humiliating in this world?

Based on this, after receiving the task of requisitioning grain, the half-guards in front of the island almost without thinking threw the task of rebuilding and guarding the grain depot to Taro Fukai, preferring to personally lead the Japanese soldiers to the countryside to collect grain, rather than trusting Taro Fukai's ability to do things. This is for a C-division regiment that can hardly exchange military merits for promotion, and it is already a life sentence for Taro Fukai in his career. For a long time to come, perhaps on the day Taro Fukai retires, I am afraid that Taro Fukai's military rank will never rise......

With full of resentment, Fukai Taro, who was assigned to the temporary grain depot, naturally blamed all the misfortunes he suffered on the Imperial Allied Army - if it weren't for those guys who didn't know how to fight at all, they were afraid that the Japanese soldiers he led would have already killed a wooden bridge and slaughtered Tujia Village!

And now, these damn guys still dare to embezzle the high-quality grain that can only be distributed to the imperial army?

Throwing the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, Taro Fukai yelled at He Luoya: "How dare those Imperial Cooperative Army?!" How much wheat did they embezzle that should have been sent to the grain storehouse? ”

Reaching out and poking He Luoya's waist, Mo Tianliu whispered in He Luoya's ear: "What is this devil talking about?" ”

With his mouth crooked, He Luoya replied: "The Imperial Army is asking, how much wheat did the Imperial Army take from their barracks?" ”

"Tell this devil that there are ten carts, which were originally meant to be sent to the grain depot, but those two devils forcibly snatched the wheat, and even the big cart was snatched away, and they had to hide the snatched wheat in a different place overnight!"
