Chapter 265 Puppet Army: I can talk and I can surrender!
"Captain Qin, Captain Ding, the Japanese cavalry are coming!"
In an open area on the road leading from Xiaocaozhuang to Zhangzhuang stronghold.
Qin Yangming and Ding Wei led their troops to find a place suitable for ambush, waiting for Sanlang from the village to bring all the puppet troops over.
Wei Dayong, who was standing nearby, was holding a telescope and saw several Japanese cavalrymen approaching with flags on their bodies. He quickly spoke up to alert Qin Yangming and Ding Wei.
"Oh? You're here so soon. It seems that the Japanese are more urgent than we thought... Duan Peng... No, monk, send a signal to the Japanese cavalry and tell them that we are here."
Qin Yangming subconsciously wanted to call Duan Peng, but after calling out, he remembered that Duan Peng was not around and was keeping an eye on Xiaocaozhuang with his troops.
"okay."
Wei Dayong listened to Qin Yangming's order, quickly took out the flag, stood on the hillside and began to send signals to the Japanese cavalry who had noticed this side.
When the Japanese cavalry saw the signal sent by Wei Dayong, they quickly stopped their horses, and then sent one person back to inform Sanlang at the village entrance, and the remaining two cavalrymen rode their horses directly in the direction where Wei Dayong was.
"Everyone, raise your guns and be careful of accidental discharges! Tell the soldiers that these devils are not enemies, they are our fucking friendly forces.
This is my first time to be a friendly force with the Japs."
Ding Wei was worried that something unexpected might happen to the soldiers below, so he again instructed the people beside him to notify the soldiers.
"Yes!"
"Captain Qin, Major Murakuchi is right behind us. He will be here with the Imperial Army in five minutes. Captain Qin, are you ready?"
The two Japanese soldiers who came over looked at the Eighth Route Army soldiers lying behind the hillside. Seeing the Eighth Route Army soldiers staring at them covetously, they came to Qin Yangming and asked him.
"Well, we are ready, Murakuchi-kun can bring the people over."
"Well, Captain Qin, please tell your troops to raise their guns. Village Gate will bring our people here soon. I hope there won't be any misunderstandings... If someone in your army accidentally fires, it will be bad for both of us."
"Don't worry, the order has been issued. We will all raise our guns in a moment. After you come over, I will have someone take action. You go back and inform Murakuchi-kun."
"Hi!"
The Japanese soldiers saluted Qin Yangming as usual and then quickly rode away.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the little devils saluted us. Captain Qin, I, Ding Wei, have really learned something new."
Seeing the Japanese soldiers saluting Qin Yangming, not only Qin Yangming was stunned, but even Ding Wei was shocked.
"We can show you later, Captain Ding... the little devils are helping us fight the puppet army..."
"Ah, now I finally understand what you said, the world is so big that there is nothing strange.
In the past, even if I died, I would never have thought that there would be such a group of, uh, weird? troops among the Japanese.
For money, anything can be sold.”
"Hahaha, Captain Ding, you may not know this, but I heard from Murakuchi Saburo that a soldier from their Osaka Division was arrested by the police for running a red light.
As a result, the commander of the Osaka Division said that the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army must not be undermined, and directly led his troops to smash the Japanese police station, which was their own local matter.
So there are rumors that if the Osaka Division is given enough money, it will even dare to sell them out directly."
……
Talk about the other side.
After receiving the news, Saburo Murakuchi quietly gathered his men. After passing a bend, Saburo Murakuchi led his men quickly up the hillside.
When the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the hillside saw the Japanese rushing up, they subconsciously wanted to shoot, but when they remembered the death order given by the regiment commander, they quickly raised the muzzles of their guns.
Thinking that these Japanese soldiers rushing up were friendly troops, some soldiers directly raised their hands and pulled up the Japanese soldiers who had not climbed up.
The first thing the Japanese did after climbing up was to take out their weapons and lie down together with the Eighth Route Army according to the instructions of Murakuchi Saburo, pointing their guns at the puppet army.
The puppet soldiers behind were confused at first when they saw all the Japanese soldiers climbing up the hillside.
But soon the puppet army fell into panic.
At some point a large group of Eighth Route Army soldiers appeared on the surrounding hillsides.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers looked down at them with their guns in hand.
What the puppet army couldn't understand the most was
"Why the hell is the Taijun standing with the Eighth Route Army and pointing guns at us?!"
When the puppet soldiers saw that their Japanese masters were standing with the Eighth Route Army and pointing guns at them, all of them were shocked by the scene.
Especially when they saw Murakuchi Saburo and two Eighth Route Army officers standing together and chatting with smiles, the puppet soldiers were even more confused.
"Mister Taijun, you really sold us out!"
"The Grand Master has surrendered to the enemy!"
"Damn it, why would Taijun defect to the Eighth Route Army?! Hurry back to the base!"
"You idiot, the Taijun in Xiaocaozhuang must know about these things. They are in the same group!"
"Damn it, I knew that Black Mountain Bear was reselling military supplies, but I didn't expect that Black Mountain Bear would even dare to sell it to us! Is Black Mountain Bear really not afraid of death?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. The Eighth Route Army can just take us all away, and that Black Mountain Bear guy will just have to report the damage.
Or they could just turn the tables and say we betrayed the Queen."
"Brothers, run!"
"Why are you running? Just squat down, squat down!"
"Damn it, run quickly! If we fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, there will be no way for us to survive! Run quickly!"
"Hahahaha, I never killed any of the Eighth Route Army. I even saved them. I surrender, I surrender!"
"No, why didn't anyone inform me when such a big thing happened? What is the county brigade doing?"
"Hmm? County brigade, brother, the Eighth Route Army?"
"Brother, I'm from the Jinsui Army..."
"Eh? You guys are from my fucking Central Army!"
"Fuck, when did you surrender? Why didn't you call me? You surrendered without me? I'm so sorry that I invited you to visit the brothel!
You bastards!
Boy, the Eighth Route Army doesn't allow you to visit brothels. How do you introduce yourself to them? I don't need to teach you, right?"
After being surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, all the ordinary soldiers of the puppet army behaved differently.
Some shouted and wanted to escape.
This kind of people knew that there was no way they would survive if they were captured by the Eighth Route Army.
Others were shouting to squat down, these people thought nothing was wrong.
Others shouted for surrender. They believed that they had not killed any soldiers from the Eighth Route Army, but had helped them, and they considered themselves meritorious.
Others are spies planted into the puppet army by various forces.
Compared with these ordinary soldiers of the puppet army, the puppet army officers felt like they were screwed when they saw the Japanese soldiers standing with the Eighth Route Army.
"No, Madam, if you want to surrender to the Eighth Route Army, you should at least tell me!
I can talk, I can surrender, I can be a member of the Eighth Route Army! " "Behave yourself, lie down. If anyone dares to move, I will make sure you will be shot to death!"
Just when the puppet army was in chaos, the Eighth Route Army on the hillside rushed down under the command of Ding Wei and surrounded the puppet army.
"Baga, work honestly! If you move around, you traitor, you'll die!"
"Eighth Route Army, there is a problem here! Need help!"
"Eighth Route Army, knife, work carefully."
"Eighth Route Army, you, the bayonet, look at me! Hey!"
"Hey, Eighth Route Army, Type 38 rifle, great stuff, forty dollars for the job!"
"Eighth Route Army, Yoshi, military boots, leather, made by the Japanese Locust Army, good stuff, fifteen dollars a day!"
"Eighth Route Army, bullets, you can use them, golden, one dollar a shot."
"My friend, give me this jade and give you this grenade launcher. Let's exchange it."
"Little Japanese... Oh, no, no, friendly forces, we are working here."
At this moment, an extremely strange scene appeared on the road.
The Japanese and the Eighth Route Army mixed together to search all the puppet troops.
From time to time, the Japanese would help the Eighth Route Army deal with problems, and even rescued a few Eighth Route Army soldiers from the hands of some puppet troops who wanted to fight back.
The most bizarre thing is that a few Japanese soldiers actually pulled the Eighth Route Army and started doing business on the road.
"Baka! Shut up, everyone! If you have anything to say, let's talk after we get back to the base!"
Watching his subordinates start doing business directly with the Eighth Route Army, one soldier was even ready to sell his grenade launcher to the Eighth Route Army.
Murakuchi Saburo felt a little embarrassed and quickly called out to stop him.
Ding Wei and Qin Yangming don't even want to talk anymore.
Qin Yang knew that the soldiers of the Osaka Division were all very outrageous, but he never expected them to be so outrageous.
Damn it, the puppet soldiers haven’t even been tied up yet, but they’re already impatient to start doing business.
The Japanese soldiers who were stopped looked at Murakuchi Saburo, smiled embarrassedly, and quickly put away all their belongings.
"Damn it, we have to hurry back to the base. The Eighth Route Army is going to the base to do something. Others must have known about it. Who knows, they might have already started to occupy the place and set up stalls.
If we go back late, there won’t be any place for us to set up our stall.
Most of the guys in the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold are from my hometown.
I saw that each of them had a big package, and plus the things seized from the Imperial Army, the number must be quite large.
We have to go back quickly!"
After a Japanese soldier put away his grenade launcher, he thought about the situation inside the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold and quickly spoke to his companion beside him.
Although after the business of Murakuchi Saburo is successful, they will get a lot of shares.
That's all earned by everyone, so we all share it.
There wasn't much left after it was divided.
But if you sell it yourself, then everything you sell is yours.
How could they not be anxious to earn a little more?
……
So, under the urging of the Japanese devils, Qin Yangming and Ding Wei handed all the puppet army prisoners of war to Zhong Zhicheng, and then quickly led the troops to change into puppet army uniforms and started heading towards Xiaocaozhuang stronghold.
However, when Qin Yangming and Ding Wei led their troops to the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold, the scene before them really shocked them again.
The Xiaocaozhuang stronghold, which was supposed to be a military fortress, now looked like a big market.
A group of Japanese soldiers in military uniforms sat on the ground with a blanket spread out in front of them, which was filled with items.
Including but not limited to, bullets, grenades, pistols, watches, food...
What's even more amazing is that Qin Yangming also saw a few Japanese soldiers wrapped in white cloth, with a big pot and a chopping board in front of them, and they were making noodles!
In addition to the artillery tower and the periphery, there are a small number of Japanese soldiers on guard, and there are cavalry patrols on the periphery, which proves that this is a military fortress.
Otherwise, people coming here would really treat this place as a market.
If it weren't for the cold feeling on the gun on his waist telling Qin Yangming that this was reality, Qin Yangming would even think that he had come to the wrong place.
"Mr. Qin, my friend, welcome to Xiaocao Village."
Qingquanmu, who had been standing at the door waiting, immediately went to greet Qin Yangming as soon as he saw him coming.
"Mr. Qin, I'd like to trouble you to have your army send people to patrol the periphery and not let anyone else come over, or to notify us in advance when someone comes.
After all, the current situation in Xiaocaozhuang... If other people come and find out about this, it may not be conducive for us to hand over the county seat of Ping'an County to your army.
Oh, the one with the white strip on his arm is our man."
"No problem, I'll arrange for someone right away."
Listening to Qingquan Muyi's words, Qin Yangming nodded.
"Captain Ding, Captain Ding..."
“Eh, eh?!”
Ding Wei, who was staring at the Japanese in a daze, heard Qin Yangming's call and quickly responded.
"Captain Ding, notify the cavalry to blockade the entire perimeter of the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold.
The Japanese with white strips on their arms are friendly troops, stop all the others."
"no problem."
……
Then, several people entered the artillery tower while talking.
The Japanese's idea of selling items to the Eighth Route Army was completely thwarted.
Because the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army basically sent their daily allowances back to their hometowns, and the Eighth Route Army did not pay them much money.
So the Japanese had no way of selling things to ordinary soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
I could only exchange some things for other things.
However, the Japanese guy who made ramen made a lot of money.
Seeing that the soldiers were attracted by the ramen, Qin Yangming and Ding Wei were not stingy and directly took out a lot of money to buy all the flour stored in the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold and let the soldiers have a taste.
"Mr. Qin, let's get straight to the point.
The Xiaocaozhuang stronghold can be handed over to us at any time, but we only handed over the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold to you at that time. If you still want these heavy machine guns and weapons... you will need to pay some more money.
After all, these are heavy weapons... We also need to pay money to the higher-ups and other people to help us. I hope Mr. Qin can understand."
