After a burst of chickens and dogs jumped, more than 800 people in Gaojiaao Village were all gathered in the threshing floor at the entrance of the village.

The devils, the puppet army, all with their rifles with good bayonets, pointed at the people who were surrounded.

Five or six light machine guns and heavy machine guns were set up on the commanding heights around the threshing floor, and the muzzles of the black holes were all aimed at everyone, murderous.

Inside the encirclement, the cries, scolding, and disputes of the common people rang out in one place.

"Da Da Da ......"

The heavy machine gun next to the captain of the devil brigade suddenly opened fire, and the bullets flew into the sky against everyone's scalps.

Although not a single ordinary person was killed, the piercing gunfire still frightened everyone, and the threshing floor, which was still lively just now, suddenly became quiet.

"Wang Sang, come on!" The Devil Captain was very satisfied with this result, and an imperceptible sneer quickly flashed on his tense face. Staring at the puppet army battalion commander beside him, he ordered.

"Yes, Taijun!" The puppet battalion commander nodded and replied, with a very flattering expression.

Then he stood up: "Folks, the purpose of Taijun's coming, I don't say that everyone knows it!" According to the agreement, fifty percent of the grain harvested in the autumn should be handed over to Taijun as a big guy for a year's grain tax! ”

"We have calculated that there are more than 1,600 acres of fertile land in the entire Gaojiaao Village, and according to the agreement, 50 catties of grain will be paid for each mu of fertile land as grain tax, and the whole village will be handed over to Taijun for a total of 80,000 grains, I don't know if you are ready!"

Although the Eighth Route Army had already prepared food for them, and promised that the food would be returned to everyone in a month at the latest. But when it was time to give food, everyone still couldn't help but feel a heartache, and some people even showed a desperate expression on their faces.

You must know that most of the people in the village only have more than one mu of ration fields per capita, and even if they don't pay a pound of grain, all the harvests will not be enough to survive in the next year. And in front of him, the devil was about to leave halfway as soon as he opened his mouth. This means that the whole family will have no food to eat for at least half a year, and if the promise of the Eighth Route Army cannot be fulfilled, by next year, the whole family will be finished!

Therefore, after the words of the puppet army battalion commander were finished, the entire threshing floor was still silent and there was no movement.

"Why, didn't you understand? Do you want me to say it again? Or are you all connected to the Eighth Route Army, and all the food has been given to the Eighth Route Army! Everyone's reaction annoyed the puppet battalion commander and shouted with a frown.

This time, there is finally movement in front of us!

A very old man stood up: "Sir, the old man is the head of this village, I can't hide it, although today's grain is harvested, but the whole village only has more than 1,000 acres of land, if half of the grain is given to the imperial army, the remaining grain is simply not enough for everyone to eat until next year's autumn harvest!" ”

"I hope that the chief can be accommodating, and let Taijun collect a little less grain from us, even if one acre of land receives ten catties of less grain, the people of our Gaojiaao Village will be grateful to the chief!"

The grain collected was the army's ration for the next year.

If you collect less, you will definitely be hungry at that time. The puppet battalion commander refused without thinking about it.

"No, fifty catties of grain per acre of land, a total of eighty thousand catties of grain, and one catty of grain cannot be missing!"

For the sake of food, the commander of the puppet army battalion was also ruthless at this time, and directly threatened: "Give everyone a minute to think about it, if there is no movement, then don't blame us for being polite, go directly to the village to find food by yourself!" ”

"The food must be in the village, if you let the imperial army do it yourself, in the end, the imperial army will definitely take away more than 80,000 catties of food, you have to think about it carefully!"

Seeing that everyone had not reacted, the commander of the puppet army battalion continued to threaten: "I know that some of you must have been instigated by the Eighth Route Army to hide all the food. But I want to tell you that this time the imperial army came to ask for food, but not just words, if you don't get food, the imperial army will definitely not give up, everyone can see from the current posture of the imperial army. For the sake of food, if you can't take away food, the imperial army will definitely kill! ”

"It's all Chinese, and I don't want any of you to be killed by the imperial army for a little food. So, I hope you will think carefully. ”

The captain of the devil brigade seemed to understand the last threat of the puppet army battalion commander.

As soon as he finished speaking, he whispered something in the guard's ear.

Then the four devils rushed into the encirclement, grabbed the two women with the children with their bayonets, and then pointed the muzzles of the black holes at their heads.

"Taijun is angry, let's go prepare food, they are all women and children, they have never seen the world, they will be scared, and please Taijun let them go!" The dream of reducing the food tax has been shattered. The old village chief was also frightened by the devil's arrest as soon as he came up, and hurriedly stood up and answered.

"Yo Xi!" The tense face of the captain of the devil brigade quickly relaxed, and with a wave of his hand, the four devils withdrew from the encirclement.

The grain was prepared in advance, and it took less than half an hour for 80,000 catties of grain to be piled up to the threshing floor, as high as a hill.

"Taijun, 80,000 catties of grain is only a lot more, and it has just been harvested. However, if you want to transport all this grain back in carts, you need at least fifty carts. ”

"Contact the garrison of the stronghold, and deploy fifty baggage trucks to the baggage troops to transport food!" The captain who didn't expect the whole operation to go so smoothly made a decision immediately after being shocked.

Then he continued: "The task given to me by the brigade command is 1.5 million catties of grain, and the gap is still very large. I decided that today we will continue to work hard and take another village! ”

"The first squadron and the first squad stay, Wang Sang, your people leave a company to protect these grains!"

"When the cart of the baggage troops arrives, the protection of the baggage troops will transport the grain back to the stronghold, and then the protection of the baggage troops will go to the next village to join me!"

"Also, the Eighth Route Army is likely to send troops to attack us and recapture the food. Therefore, before the grain is shipped away, these people cannot be released, and all of them are gathered here to be held hostage by us! ”

On the top of a mountain beam a kilometer away, Xiong Changhe was holding a telescope, staring motionlessly at the threshing floor at the entrance of the village.

The main force of the Japanese army retreated, and the remaining troops continued to keep an eye on the villagers and protect the food ......

All of this, Xiong Changhe clearly saw in his eyes.

"Battalion commander, there are only more than 100 Japanese puppet troops left, and most of them are puppet soldiers, do you want to rush over now, kill them, take back the food, and rescue the people!" There must be impulsive subordinates under the impulsive commander. Compared with Xiong Changhe, the fighting personality of the commander of a battalion and a company is exactly the same!

After figuring out Wang Ping's thoughts on this battle, Xiong Changhe had lost his previous impulse.

glared at the other party fiercely and scolded: "What if you accidentally hurt the people, are you here to pay for the lives of the people?" ”

"Snatching food in the village, the devil came back to kill it, thinking that the food was snatched away and related to the people in the village, and asked the people again what to do if they wanted food?"

"This ......" The company commander was directly asked and was speechless.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still frowned and asked: "Battalion commander, then when will we attack and grab back the food!" ”

"Wait, the reconnaissance squad has been out for two hours, and there should be news back soon. As soon as the scout squad returned, we got into action! ”
