Yan Rou definitely didn't tell Xiao Siming the truth!

Before the Japanese army captured Taiyuan, in view of the bloody massacre of Yanggao, Tianzhen, Lingqiu, and Yuanping towns by the Japanese army, Yan Xishan stored food and ammunition in the city that could be used for half a year, hoping that Fu Zuoyi, who was famous for his good defense, could hold on to Taiyuan City for half a year, so that the second theater had time to reorganize and replenish the troops, and at the same time ordered the citizens of Taiyuan to be mobilized to flee Taiyuan City.

Yan Xishan didn't expect Taiyuan City to be lost so quickly, but his practice of ordering the citizens of Taiyuan to flee Taiyuan had an effect. After the Japanese army entered the city, the common people in Taiyuan City basically ran out, and the streets were empty, only those scoundrels and beggars stayed in the city to take the opportunity to pick locks and break doors, break houses, rob houses, and make a fortune.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the citizens of Taiyuan abandoned the city and fled for refuge, with the virtue of the Japanese army's crazy revenge, they suffered so much loss in Pingxingguan and died so many people in the Battle of Xinkou, they would definitely have slaughtered madly in Taiyuan City and created another "Nanjing Massacre"!

That's it, after the Japanese army occupied Taiyuan, they actually burned and looted for more than 40 days, and shot more than 4,000 people in Taiyuan City!

After all, Taiyuan is the political, cultural, military and commercial center of Shanxi, a famous city in North China, and the city has a large population.

Before the fall of Taiyuan, ordinary people were notified to flee, but those big businessmen who had business in Pingjin ran to Pingjin for refuge. The reason why Yan Rou returned to Taiyuan from the east at this time was because the Yan family did not follow Yan Xishan to retreat south, but also went to Beiping for refuge. Yan Rou's father returned to Taiyuan first and participated in the work of the Taiyuan Maintenance Association. Yan Rou took a train from Beiping to Shijiazhuang, and then took a train from Shijiazhuang to Yangquan after receiving a telegram from her father to report her safety. Because the Taohe Railway Bridge on Zhengtai Road was blown up by the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army, Yan Rou had no choice but to ask the Yan family to send someone to Yangquan to pick her up, and returned to Taiyuan in a horse-drawn car, with the little maid Xing'er and bodyguards. As a result, he encountered the little devil in the eastern suburbs of Taiyuan and was saved by Xiao Siming.

It doesn't matter if Yan Rou doesn't tell the truth, the Yan family is very famous in Taiyuan, Zhao Changshou must know the address of the Yan family, if Xiao Siming sees Yan Rou again, it is estimated that the girl will tell the truth.

After Xiao Siming led Chen Desheng and Zhao Changshou out of the small restaurant, because he was worried that the Japanese secret service would get some clues from the people who were arrested in the Daguanyuan bathhouse, he went directly to a shop selling ready-to-wear clothes, and each of them bought a black cloth shirt and pants, wore a black melon skin hat on his head, tied the armed belt of the Japanese army, carried a Wang Ba box, and carried a 38 big cover on his back.

It's a pity that the Japanese army coat he was wearing couldn't be wanted, and the Japanese command knife that Xiao Siming was carrying couldn't be asked for, so he could only go to the backyard of the ready-to-wear shop, ask the boss to find some kerosene, and pour it on fire.

The owner of the ready-to-wear shop had already seen the clue, and Xiao Siming also told him that he couldn't tell anyone, otherwise he would be arrested by Japanese spies and taken to sit on a tiger chair, pour chili pepper water, or even send to the Northeast or Japan to work as a coolie, and when he died, he was thrown into a barren mountain to feed the dogs, and it was impossible to return to his hometown Shanxi.

Xiao Siming and the others walked on the front foot, and the owner of the ready-to-wear shop closed down on the back foot and slipped away.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he no longer worried that the Japanese military dogs would smell the smell, so Zhao Changshou stopped three rickshaws, and the three of them took one to find his classmates in the staff residential area of Shanxi Industrial Company outside the small north gate of Taiyuan.

I didn't expect that there would be trouble disguised as a traitor spy!

The rickshaw didn't go far before it was stopped by a few little devils, who insisted that Xiao Siming get out of the car and supervise the road clearing team on the side of the road!

Before the Japanese army occupied Taiyuan, it had already begun to bomb Taiyuan indiscriminately. In order to avoid the air raid of the enemy planes, the Taiyuan people dug all the tree pits into air raid craters, and hid in them when the Japanese planes came.

After the Japanese army occupied Taiyuan, in the face of an empty city with nothing to do, Gu Di Na Huaxiong, the head of the Japanese army's secret service, single-handedly planned the establishment of the puppet Shanxi Provincial Government Preparatory Committee, and let the big traitor Su Tiren appear on the stage and preside over the work of the puppet Shanxi Provincial Government Preparatory Committee. At the beginning of the year, the puppet Taiyuan City Administrative Office was also announced in Haizibian, and the traitor Bai Wenhui became the puppet mayor of Taiyuan. Immediately afterwards, the maintenance committees of Yangqu County and Taiyuan County were renamed the puppet county government. After this group of traitors appeared, they began to cooperate with the Japanese army to rule.

The first thing the puppet government did was to bury the bodies and reorganize the streets. As a result, the road clearing team was formed, and the situation of corpses everywhere had been cleaned up in the early stage, and now the main task is to fill in the potholes on the road and the houses that were blown up by Japanese planes.

Only then did Xiao Siming realize that it was better to disguise the Japanese army, at least it was impossible to be caught!

There are many things waiting to be done, Xiao Siming didn't have the heart to stay here to supervise the work of the road clearing team, and directly looked at the devil Cao Chang who stopped the car with a crackling slap on his face, scolding Baga while beating, scolding the devil Cao Chang is purely the son of a farmer, his eyes are covered with lard, and he can't even see the plainclothes commanded by His Excellency Gu Dina Huaxiong, the head of the Taiyuan organ of the Great Japanese Army, and dare to let them supervise the work of the road clearing team, it is simply a rice bucket, a rice bucket, a big rice bucket!

Zhao Changshou wanted to laugh while watching from the sidelines, but he didn't dare to laugh, he couldn't understand, Xiao Siming was not tall, his figure was too thin, and his age was not big, why was he so bold, he dared to slap the devil casually, and the name he shouted was still terrifying, he could really scare the little devil!

After the slap, Xiao Siming got back into the rickshaw, urged the driver to open the road quickly, and led Zhao Changshou and Chen Desheng away!

Along the way, I saw that the notices of the Japanese Garrison Headquarters were pasted everywhere on the walls, and the notices of the Puppet Taiyuan City Administrative Office, Puppet Yangqu County, and Puppet Taiyuan County were pasted, all of which were written on preferential measures to encourage fleeing merchants and citizens to return to Taiyuan. The most powerful one is the "return of family property" policy announced by the Japanese puppet, which says that as long as the merchants and citizens return to Taiyuan and go to the puppet government agency to register the house, the Japanese puppet will return the occupied property to the head of the household, and at the same time, according to the market market, pay the rent for these few February!

Not only that, the Japanese puppet also announced other incentive policies, encouraging merchants and citizens who have returned to Taiyuan to write letters to relatives and friends who have fled abroad, mobilizing them to return to Taiyuan, and promising that the Japanese army will absolutely protect the legitimate interests of the people of Taiyuan!

Xiao Siming wanted to scold in his heart, let's not talk about the hateful little devils, these traitor leaders turned out to be officials in Shanxi Province, and after becoming traitors, they sold their souls, they were more loyal than the military dogs of the Japanese army, and they did their best to do things for the Japanese army, and they could come up with any bad ideas!

Seeing that there were two pseudo-policemen on the side of the road carrying guns and carrying a white ash stabbing slogans, Xiao Siming was curious, asked the rickshaw to stop, walked over and stood behind the two pseudo-policemen, took out a cigarette, and looked at it while sucking.

The two pseudo-policemen are not perfunctory as they said in later novels and movies, but concentrate and brush very carefully, so that their faces and clothes are splashed with white ash spots!

After watching for a while, seeing the two policemen stop to rest, Xiao Siming walked up and handed a cigarette to one of them, and said, "Hard work!" ”

As soon as they looked at the outfits of Xiao Siming and the others, the two pseudo-policemen knew that they were fellow travelers, but they were wearing pseudo-police skins, and Xiao Siming was wearing civilian clothes.

Smoking a cigarette, Xiao Siming sighed that the brothers of the police and the garrison are still mixed, staying in Taiyuan City, not afraid of the guerrillas fighting black guns, safe, and can go home after work to be hot with his wife and children, much better than the secret service!

A pseudo-policeman in his thirties opened his mouth and said, "! How can the police compare to the special forces? The brothers of the special team are all cronies of the imperial army, and they drink and eat meat with the imperial army, and sleep with their mothers-in-law and aunts, which is much better than the police! If I am a few years younger and have better marksmanship, I will also go to work in the special service team, with a lot of oil and water and a high salary, then it will be beautiful! ”

Xiao Siming asked how much money the pseudo-policeman could receive a month?

The pseudo-policeman said that the salary was very low, and he received 16 yuan and three cents last month, and this month he heard that it could be increased by 10 yuan. However, the instructor of the imperial army said that when most of the people who fled Taiyuan returned, the market was prosperous, and the salary would be greatly increased, and they might be able to receive more than 30 yuan! Anyway, it's not as good as the brothers of the secret service!

Xiao Siming asked the pseudo-policeman if he knew what Mayor Bai Wenhui's monthly salary was?

The puppet policeman replied that he knew, and the imperial army instructor said that Mayor Bai had a monthly salary of 380 yuan, and the secretary and section chief of the city government had a monthly salary of 160 yuan, and the head of the unit was 100 yuan. It's better to be an official, it's better to be a big official, get so much money, you can drink wine, eat meat and go to the kiln every day, that's the day of the gods!

Xiao Siming thought that Bai Wenhui, the puppet mayor of Taiyuan, was 380 yuan a month, which was equivalent to the salary of a general of the national army, no wonder this old boy was doing so happily!

The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army only have an allowance of 5 yuan per month, while the monthly salary of the traitor mayor is as high as 380 yuan.

Xiao Siming was no longer interested in chatting with the two pseudo-policemen, and turned around to leave, but he didn't expect the pseudo-policeman to show off, saying that although the salary was not high, the benefits were good, and the imperial army had specially built a police bathhouse, which allowed the policemen to take a bath for free; A police hospital has been set up to provide free medical treatment; It is also necessary to set aside a piece of land to count the population of police families and build police dormitories.

The pseudo-policeman said that the current wage level in Taiyuan is not high, and the daily wage of ordinary workers is only 7 or 8 cents, and the daily wage of skilled workers is between 1 yuan and 5 yuan. The Imperial Army will not treat the police badly, and at least the salary will be the same as that of a skilled worker!

Xiao Siming stretched out his hand and patted the pseudo policeman's shoulder, with a smile on his face, encouraging him to work hard, strive to be appreciated by the imperial army, and get a sheriff, director, and director to do it, and his salary will definitely rise!

The pseudo-policeman's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he still smiled and said that he didn't have so many ideas, just thinking that it was not easy to live in the war era, and he could just let the family eat with an old snack.

Xiao Siming laughed and got into the rickshaw.
