"Captain, my eldest brother's mother, sister-in-law and two children should be in Fort Merchant, I guess the little devils won't harm them." Merchant He heard Liu Tianshu's inquiry, thought about it and said.

"It's hard to say, in this way, do you want Liu Siyuan to follow you back to the merchant fort? First, I came to explain the situation to the family of the caravan leader, and secondly, on behalf of our anti-Japanese guerrillas, I expressed my condolences to the family of the caravan leader. Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

Captain Shangbao has sacrificed his precious life in order to fight devils, and Liu Tianshu doesn't want such a hero's family to suffer any more harm.

Besides, what do he think about the family of such anti-Japanese heroes, and he should also express his condolences.

"Okay, I'll go over with Comrade Siyuan." With that, Shang He stood up.

Although he only joined the team, the merchant also learned the name of the army.

"Hehe, there's no need to be in such a hurry, we still need to discuss the details of this matter again." Seeing the appearance of the merchant and his impatience, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but laugh, and after letting him sit down, he discussed the details with Li Shu and Liu Siyuan.

Since they decided to develop in the area of Qingyan Town, Liu Tianshu and the others felt that for those members of the Qingyan Self-Defense Force who fled home, they should try to find as much as possible, and if any team members fell into the hands of devils, they had to try to rescue those who could be saved.

It's just that the little devils have taken control of Qingyan Town, and they don't dare to act rashly when they don't know the situation.

Just when several people were discussing how to send people into the town to find out the situation, the voice of Cheng Zhiguo, who was sent to reconnoiter outside the town, sounded.

"Report."

"Come in." Liu Tianshu's face was happy.

Cheng Zhiguo strode in, and Liu Siyuan saw him rushing forward. Hurriedly picked up a water cup and handed it over.

"Come, drink saliva first."

Cheng Zhiguo glanced at Liu Siyuan gratefully. took the cup and took a sip happily, then looked at Liu Tianshu.

"What's the situation, tell everyone." Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

Cheng Zhiguo told several people about the situation he had detected.

This morning, after the investigation into the death of the devil's wounded soldiers, Long Hai and Cheng Zhiguo. was sent outside the town to reconnoiter the situation, and the two of them swam around the town, and then Cheng Zhiguo ran back to Huangshi Village to report. Long Hai continued to stay there.

Hearing that the four gates of Qingyan Town have all resumed normal entry and exit. When pedestrians passed, the devils guarding the gate were only watching on one side, and it turned out to be people from the security brigade of Qingyan Town. is responsible for interrogating pedestrians on the side.

The locals were allowed to leave after a simple search and questioning. The strangers from other places were all taken aside and carefully interrogated.

Listening to Cheng Zhiguo's tone, these people from the security brigade seemed to be working very hard. The two discovered from a distance that there was a member of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, who was recognized by the security brigade when he wanted to leave the town, and then was escorted into the town by two fierce devils.

"Home and. It seems that not only the first class of people can't blend into the town, but also the soldiers of your second class. There is also a possibility that it will be recognized by the members of the security brigade. I didn't expect these guys to start taking refuge with the Japanese so soon. If you want to sneak into the town to find out the situation, you have to think of another idea, so Jiahe and Comrade Liu Siyuan immediately rushed to Shangbao, and at the same time, squad leader Li followed with the members of the assault team to prevent accidents. As for the soldiers of the second class, whose home is in the merchant fort, they also went back to meet their families this time. Shi Qiang and I wanted to figure out the situation of the devils in the town. Hao Mengxuan stayed in Huangshi Village. Liu Tianshu thought about it and immediately assigned the task.

Since the devil allows the people to enter and leave Qingyan Town freely, it seems that the devil has the intention of entrenching in Qingyan Town for a long time. And letting the merchants and others return to the merchant fort, firstly, it can reassure their families, and secondly, it can be regarded as having preliminary contact with the merchant fort, so as to prevent the devil from attacking the merchant treasure's family.

As soon as the task was assigned, the entire fourth squad went into action. There are five people in the second class whose homes are from the merchant fort, so this time they naturally followed back to the merchant fort. The other six people, Lin Hua and Xie Fei's homes are in Huangshi Village, so they naturally stayed with Hao Mengxuan for the time being. Of the remaining five people, two of their homes are from Qingyan Town, and they can't go back for the time being, so they also stay with Hao Mengxuan, and the other three are from the surrounding villages, so they also go home to meet their families at this time.

Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang went out of Huangshi Village with Liu Siyuan, and they broke up after walking a short distance.

Liu Tianshu, Shi Qiang, and Village Chief Ling, under the leadership of Cheng Zhiguo, quickly arrived outside the town and found Long Hai guarding outside the town. After briefly asking about the situation, Liu Tianshu turned his head and said to Village Chief Ling who was following behind him: "Lao Ling, after you enter the town, you must find out if there are any self-defense team members caught by devils, and also, you must find out how many devils there are in the town, where they live, and whether the people of the security brigade have taken refuge with the Japanese." However, you must be careful not to let the devils notice you when you inquire about this. ”

"Captain Liu, don't worry, many people in the town are familiar with me, besides, I'm a local, and the enemy won't notice me." Village Chief Ling said as he knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you outside the town, and in two hours we'll meet under that big tree." Liu Tianshu pointed to a big tree in the col behind him and said.

After seeing Village Chief Ling walk to the checkpoint outside the town gate, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang immediately disappeared into the woods outside the town.

After the Yoshino squadron entered the town of Qingyan, he immediately surrendered the guns of the town's security brigade, and at the same time, after sending an interpreter to coerce and lure, the former mayor of Qingyan Town, Long Quanfu, agreed to cooperate with the Imperial Japanese Army. As a result, the weapons of the security brigade were returned, but the security brigade immediately became a plainclothes detective team of devils. Long Haisheng, the former captain of the security brigade, became the plainclothes detective captain at this time.

After Yoshino incorporated the armed forces of Cheongam Town, his command post was also built in the original town office, and Long Quanfu continued to serve as the mayor, but the location of his office became a small room.

Last night, the checkpoint north of the town was attacked, killing twelve Imperial soldiers, and the reinforcements that had come out to reinforce the troops killed four more people, but the attackers disappeared like the wind in the blink of an eye, which made Yoshino very angry.

After slashing two of the captured SDF members, Yoshino calmed down a little, and at 9 a.m. the Japanese army lifted martial law and allowed the people to enter and leave freely, while sending plainclothes scouts to the four entrances and exits to assist the Imperial Army in identifying strangers and anti-Japanese SDF members.

As for how to find out those attackers who disappeared without a trace, Yoshino, who had a headache, was ready to hand over to Long Haisheng to be responsible.

After all, there is no good way to find those hateful sneak attackers from the Chinese, except to use the Chinese who have defected to him.

Although from the bottom of his bones, he simply looked down on Chinese such as Long Quanfu and Long Haisheng.

In Yoshino's command post, Ryu Quanfu sat tremblingly at his desk.

"Long Sang, you are a friend of the Empire, and our Imperial Japanese Army will not treat our friends badly. Come, taste the tea ceremony of our Great Japanese Empire. Yoshino, who was wearing a kimono, moved a small teacup in front of Long Quanfu.

After seeing Long Quanfu drink it carefully, Yoshino's eyes lit up, and he looked at him and asked, "Long Sang, how does it taste?" ”

"It's good, it tastes very pure." Long Quanfu couldn't find any other adjectives, so he could only say carefully.

Yoshino had lived in Northeast China for several years and was fluent in Chinese. It's just that his Chinese dialect has a little Northeast accent, and it feels strange to listen to Long Quanfu's ears.

"Thank you Long Sang for the compliment." Yoshino bent over.

After chatting about tea culture for a while, Yoshino turned the conversation to Kiyoam Town.

"Long Sang, I heard that the person who blocked the Imperial Japanese Army in Dongshan of the town is the Qingyan Town Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, and the captain is called Shang Bao? Is it someone from the merchant fort in Qingyan Town? Is this true? ”

"Taijun is right, this merchant treasure, I heard that he originally participated in the 29th Army, and after returning to Qingyan Town not long ago, he pulled up the team without doing his best to fight against the imperial army. No, in the end, he ended up dying at the hands of the imperial army. When Long Quanfu said this, he had a taste of schadenfreude.

You must know that after Shang Bao came back, with his experience of participating in the Battle of the Great Wall, a group of hot-blooded young people were infected by his passion, and finally let him pull up a team of more than 100 people.

After the team pulled up, this merchant treasure actually found himself, saying that they wanted to defend Qingyan Town, let the town pay for weapons and equipment, etc., he saw that the anti-Japanese self-defense force was outnumbered, and besides, the merchant treasure took advantage of the anti-Japanese patriotic righteousness, and he had to agree to cooperate.

No, after he raised a batch of materials in Qingyan Town in the name of the town office and handed them over to Shang Bao, he let him take over the town's defense. In Long Quanfu's opinion, with more than 100 people protecting the merchant treasure, the town should not easily fall into the hands of devils.

Who would have thought that the anti-Japanese self-defense forces only lasted more than two hours before they were defeated by the Japanese army, and even heard that even Shangbao was killed by devils.

It was also because he saw that the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force was not an opponent of the devil at all, and he felt fear in his heart, and finally had to agree to cooperate with Yoshino.

"Haha, the power of the Great Japanese Empire, how can a few stragglers be able to contend with? Long Sang, I have just received the news that Huyangkou fell into the hands of the empire yesterday afternoon, and those timid Jin Sui troops have been wiped out by the imperial army. Even Niangzi Pass will soon fall into the hands of the imperial army. Long Sang, choosing to cooperate with the Imperial Army is the most correct decision for you, and you will see in the future that any idea of going against the Imperial Army is an extremely stupid idea; Any act of antagonism against the Imperial Army will be severely punished by the Imperial Army. At this, Yoshino's face showed an arrogant smirk.

When Long Quanfu heard that Huyangkou had fallen, he was terrified, and couldn't help but congratulate himself on his choice last night.

Subsequently, Long Quanfu gave a detailed introduction to the situation in Qingyan Town to Yoshino.

When he heard Long Quanfu say that Shangbao was from Shangbao in Qingyan Town, and there were many members of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, all of whom were from Shangbao, his eyes couldn't help but roll a few times. (To be continued.) )
