Chapter 416: Kuangouzi Village
For this reason, he not only openly demanded that the villagers not have access to the eight roads, but even buried several Hanyang factories from the black market out of his own pocket and formed a so-called Yaozhuang self-police team, intending to cooperate with the Japanese puppet army to clear out the nearby anti-Japanese elements.
Now, after listening to Ma Kui's words in front of him, the playfulness on Yao Jingtian's face gradually receded, and he began to faintly feel that the landlord Zheng Baokang seemed to have something to hide from him.
However, although Ma Kui dared to swear poisonously in front of Yao Jingtian and said that he had a nose and eyes, Yao Jingtian did not believe him immediately.
Yao Jingtian knows very well that this Ma Kui is a hob meat that eats and drinks everywhere in the village, and he likes to make silent troubles everywhere on weekdays. For this kind of verbal statement, most of them are three points true and seven points false.
Now that he insisted that the landlord Zheng Baokang sold grain into the mountains and even fornicated through the eight roads, Yao Jingtian subconsciously still suspected that this kid was blackmailed and ran to sue him.
If that's the case, then wouldn't he Yao Jingtian be used as a gun by this kid!
The most important thing is that he was tricked into a small matter, in case he and the Imperial Association Army were tricked by this kid together, it would really be enough for him to drink a pot.
Thinking of this, Yao Jingtian decided to get definite evidence first.
……
However, although Yao Jingtian was anxious about the matter of engaging in evidence, he did not listen to Ma Kui's suggestion to go directly to the door to arrest people.
He knew very well that because this Yaozhuang was located in the mountains, the villagers here would more or less have one or two muskets at home, so as to protect themselves and save their lives while taking into account hunting.
Therefore, Yao Jingtian knew that if Ma Kui directly killed him as soon as he touched his mouth, if the other party was not convinced, he might mess things up.
To this end, he pondered for a while, and finally came up with a divide-and-conquer strategy.
……
Not long after, a subordinate of Yao Jingtian's family first ran to Zheng's house, saying that he was inviting Zheng Baokang to discuss the matter of contributing manpower to the Japanese to repair the turret.
When Zheng Baokang heard that it was a matter of discussing the Japanese, although he was puzzled, he still couldn't stand the devil's murderous reputation and hurriedly went to Yao's house.
After Zheng Baokang arrived at Yao's house, Yao Jingtian's son Yao Xudong immediately rushed into Zheng Baokang's house with six men from the self-police team.
Facing Yao Xudong and others who rushed into his house, Zheng Baokang's son confronted the other party with his own musket at first. But when he heard Yao Xudong say that his father had been arrested and all of them were recruited, he couldn't bear it for a while, and finally put down his weapon and recruited all of them.
When Yao Xudong tied Zheng Baokang's only son and returned to Yao's house with the stack of military tickets, Zheng Baokang immediately looked dead. didn't use Yao Jingtian to be strong, he said everything, and even told the other party the location of Zheng Laohan's courtyard in Kuangouzi.
After getting the exact information, Yao Jingtian was overjoyed. He never expected that the pie falling from the sky would fall on his face.
However, although he knew a few news that Balu was buying grain in Kuangouzi Village, Yao Jingtian did not dare to go to the Japanese to report the news.
Yao Jingtian knew very well that the Eight Roads were not soft on the people who betrayed them. He wanted to make meritorious contributions in front of the Japanese, but he didn't want to put his net worth on the line.
Therefore, after a few words of "good words and persuasion", he put Zheng Baokang and his son back.
Subsequently, he asked his son Qiao to pretend to be a tenant who went out to buy things, put on a donkey cart and secretly went to the nearby devil's turret.
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon, outside Kuangouzi Village.
Looking at the small village not far away, the Japanese second lieutenant with a meaty face put away the map and compass, turned his head to look at Ma Kui, who was sweating profusely, and asked loudly in Japanese:
"The Kuangouzi Village you are talking about, is it here?"
Since this small village was not marked on the map, the Japanese second lieutenant was a little suspicious that the big smoker in front of him was leading the wrong way.
Hearing the devil's inquiry, Ma Kui, who looked confused, hurriedly looked at the obese Chen translator beside him, and asked flatteringly:
"Translator Chen, what is this Taijun saying, I don't understand a word."
Hearing this, he glanced at the other party with disdain, Chen Yi wiped the sweat on his neck with a handkerchief, and scolded angrily:
"Idiot, Taijun is asking if you fell to the ground here, don't go the wrong way!"
……
"Oh...... tell Taijun quickly, I definitely didn't take the wrong road, and the village in front of me is Kuangouzi."
Hearing this, Translator Chen hurriedly muttered a few words of bird language in the ear of the Japanese second lieutenant.
"Yo Xi ......."
Knowing that the place was correct, the Japanese second lieutenant immediately showed an excited expression. With a wave of his hand, he immediately asked the devils of the two detachments to outflank the outskirts of the village left and right, and he took a detachment of Japanese soldiers and forty puppet soldiers to kill the small village in front of him.
It didn't take long for the piercing gunshots and screams to fill the small village of Kuangouzi!
……
Walking in the valley, the soldiers who had just eaten and drunk seemed to be in good spirits, and one by one they swept away the hunger and fatigue of the previous few days, and the steps under their feet were even more steady.
Not long ago, thanks to the old ghost buying more than 300 catties of grain and an iron pot from the village, Zhao Shixun and the others finally ate a sweet millet porridge at three o'clock in the afternoon.
After eating, after a short repair for half an hour, Zhao Shixun led the soldiers around Kuangouzi Village and continued to march towards Huya Mountain in the southwest.
According to Zhao Shixun's estimate, after walking for another three or four hours at most, everyone will be able to reach the meeting point before midnight.
Since today was the last day of the meeting of his and He Zhendong's immortal agreement, he had to take everyone to the destination overnight.
……
Bang bang ......, da da .......
Suddenly, a faint burst of gunfire came from behind the team, and everyone was stunned.
"Stay put!"
The next moment, amid Zhao Shixun's roar, everyone stopped in place, picked up their guns and quietly stared at the direction where the gunshots came.
"Detachment leader, it seems that the gun is being fired in the direction of the wide ditch!"
Looking at Zhao Shixun with a serious face, the old ghost pulled out his gun and moved the hammer, and the cat waist came over and said softly.
Hearing this, he didn't speak, Zhao Shixun just quietly looked at the dense forest behind him.
Not long after, three warriors draped in branches suddenly rushed out of the bushes and walked quickly in front of Zhao Shixun.
"Detachment leader, there's an accident over there, it seems that the devil has entered the village!"
……
"No, we didn't stay in Kuangouzi, how did the devil know?"
Hearing this, the old ghost pushed his military hat with a puzzled expression, and the blue tendons on his dark red face were exposed.
"Someone should have snitched ......."
……
Just when Zhao Shixun made a faint conclusion, I don't know which soldier shouted, and everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky not far away.
As the sun set, a thick cloud of black smoke was slowly rising from the other side of the mountain, apparently a cluster of houses had been set on fire.
Seeing this scene, listening to the gunshots coming from time to time in the distance, the big guys were all clenching the weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of anger.
"Detachment leader, the villagers are suffering because of us, we can't just leave!"
"yes...... Just gone, we're too inhuman. ”
Several warriors looked at the black smoke in the distance with angry faces, and stood up with their weapons in their hands.
Seeing that everyone was excited, the old ghost looked at Zhao Shixun with a look of shame.
"Detachment leader, I brought people into the village to buy food, and I take this responsibility! I beg you to give me ten men and let me take them back to avenge the townspeople!" ”
A punch slammed into the trunk of the tree, and the old ghost almost roared and roared.
And with the old ghost's invitation to fight, many soldiers and even the black baby lying on the stretcher struggled to stand up, and looked at Zhao Shixun silently.
Under the setting sun, Zhao Shixun's gaze swept in front of everyone one by one, and finally stopped at the old ghost.
"Brother old ghost, how can I make you responsible, after all, I decided to let you go into the village to buy food ......."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun slowly walked up to the pale black baby, looked at the other party and said:
"If I don't go back by nine o'clock tomorrow morning, you will let the old immortal take everyone to join the column immediately, understand?"
"Uh-huh....... Gritting her teeth, Heiwa nodded heavily. ”
……
After instructing the last thing, Zhao Shixun turned to look at everyone.
"A platoon of people stand up!"
The words were closed, and twenty-five warriors immediately walked out of the group with guns in hand.
"The rest of the people left ten rounds each, and the rest went to the brothers in a platoon."
After several days of continuous fierce fighting, Zhao Shixun's ammunition on their bodies had already been almost consumed. Therefore, he could only hit as much ammunition as possible on one platoon.
Soon, the fighters took out the excess ammunition from the bullet belts on their bodies one by one and handed them into the hands of a platoon of brothers.
After replenishing the ammunition, Zhao Shixun, the old ghost and a platoon of soldiers silently saluted Heiwa and them, and then disappeared into the dark red dense forest without looking back.
……
……
Kuangouzi Village.
When Zhao Shixun led people to the outskirts of Kuangouzi Village, the sunset that was still shining in the distance seemed to have fallen into the abyss, plunging the earth into darkness in an instant.
And with the arrival of darkness, the flames that have not been extinguished in the village are like huge torches, and the ruins that are about to fall into darkness are reflected very clearly at once.
Hiding behind a ridge outside the village, looking at the yellow figure walking by the firelight from time to time, Zhao Shixun knew that the Japanese puppet army had not left, and must have planned to spend the night in the village.
However, although he knew that the Japanese puppet army was still in the village, Zhao Shixun did not dare to rashly bring people into it.
You know, you only have 27 troops on your side. When the enemy situation is unknown, if you are pierced under the guns of the devils, you will go directly to the ghost gate.
