The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 175
Gaojiazhuang is a relatively large stronghold in Pingyue County. There are 2 Japanese soldiers and half a squadron of security forces in the stronghold.The Gaojiazhuang stronghold is in charge of security work in 48 natural villages in two towns, including Xiwangzhuang where Li Gousheng lives.

In addition to the various taxes stipulated by the county government, the people in these areas also have to pay special security fees to the Gaojiazhuang stronghold.

Not long ago, Wang Dayong, the mayor of Liujing Town, who was in charge of Xiwangzhuang, went to the Gaojiazhuang stronghold to report that the people in Xiwangzhuang had stopped paying taxes.Those people said that the bandits on Taohuashan said that from now on, Xiwangzhuang will be under the management of Taohuashan, and they will no longer pay any taxes to the government, including security fees of course.

It has been more than half a year since the Taohua Mountains have been plagued by bandits. In the past, the bandits on the mountain had always behaved with their tails between their legs. They only went to their defense area to do a few robberies and kidnappings. Other than that, there was no big commotion.Now he is so arrogant that he occupies the village and openly resists the government.

Although Gao Jiu and the others did a few major things, the real influence was the defeat of Ayumi Hamasaki in Jinan City. However, the news in the countryside was limited, and they did not leave a deep impression on these puppet soldiers.

Moreover, these puppet soldiers have not suffered direct blows, and feel that the things that happened in Jinan are far away from here. Their fear of Taohuashan is much smaller than that of the well-informed puppet troops around Jinan. .

Even though they thought the bandits in Gaojiu's Peach Blossom Mountain were not easy to mess with, they had never heard of them inciting the people to resist taxes.

Zhang Jiuling's first feeling was that these villagers were lying.The folk customs in Shandong are tough, especially those people near the mountainous areas. They often use various reasons to resist the government's taxation.Zhang Jiuling believed that it must be those villagers who used the name of Taohuashan bandits to deceive the government.

In Zhang Jiuling's mind, even though the Taohua bandits were arrogant, they would not openly confront the government.And he felt that what these villagers said was wrong, even if the bandits on Taohua Mountain promised to take care of these villagers, they just wanted these villagers to pay taxes, food and salaries to Taohua Mountain.The villagers said that the bandits did not collect a penny of tax from them, which is obviously impossible.Therefore, Zhang Jiuling can be sure that these villagers used the name of Taohuashan bandits to frighten the government and evade taxes.

For the security forces in Gaojiazhuang, the security fee is a very important source of their extra money.If Xiwangzhuang doesn't pay the taxes, those troublemakers in other villages will follow suit, and they will naturally resist taxation like Xiwangzhuang, and then the trouble will be big.

In order to avoid such consequences, Zhang Jiuling decided to kill everyone by surprise, first using Xiwangzhuang for surgery.

Zhang Jiuling was about to take people to Xiwangzhuang to arrest those troubled villagers when he happened to meet Li Gousheng from Xiwangzhuang.Zhang Jiuling stopped Li Gousheng to seize his goods, and then asked their village chief to collect security fees to come up and collect the goods.

Of course, Li Gousheng was unwilling. He said that these goods were ordered by the people in Taohuashan, and it would be impossible not to send them over.Zhang Jiuling naturally didn't believe Li Gousheng's words, so the two had a dispute.

Xiwangzhuang is close to Peach Blossom Mountain, and the villagers know more about the strength of the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas. With Peach Blossom Deep Mountain and Gao Jiu as their backers, Li Gousheng is not afraid in his heart, and it is inevitable that he will show this emotion when he speaks , which angered Zhang Jiuling.

He seized the goods and Li Gousheng's nephew, and beat Li Gousheng severely, and told him to go back to the village and ask the village chief to bring the money to collect the man.

Zhang Jiuling also threatened Li Gousheng that if he could not deliver the money on time, he would charge Li Gousheng and his nephew as gangsters and send them to the county jail.He also said that if the Japanese military police were reported, they would be shot.

After Li Gousheng finished telling his grievances, he burst into tears.

Geng Hua and others were so angry that they scolded their mothers.They believed that the devil's powerful field army was beaten to the brim by Taohuashan, and these puppet troops who did not know how to live or die dared to attack at once, which was obviously incompetent.

In fact, I really don't blame these security forces. Who told you that the Taohuashan guerrillas used to fight devils, and didn't prove their sturdy strength to these puppet troops?The puppet soldiers had never been beaten, so they naturally didn't know the strength of the fists of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Geng Hua and the others really wanted to go directly to Zhang Jiuling to settle the score, but they were all members of the guards. Although they did military training every day, they had too little actual combat experience, and the number of people was small now, so they were worried that they would go to occupy the army. If it is not cheap, it will affect the reputation of the Taohuashan guerrillas.Geng Hua decided to hold back his anger for the time being, and go back to the mountain to report first.

Geng Hua asked Han Laoliu to give Li Gou the remaining two oceans.Let him go back to the village to see a doctor first, and wait for the news of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

After Geng Hua and others returned to the cottage, they reported the situation to Gao Jiu.Gao Jiu was currently concentrating on the training of the special forces, so he handed over this matter to Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan was very angry, and immediately took Ning Wen, Ning Wu, Geng Hua and 20 team members to Gaojiazhuang with a mortar and six crooked machine guns.

During this period, the Japanese army's strength was insufficient, and each county in southern Shandong basically dispatched a gendarmerie of three to forty people.Therefore, in the strongholds they stationed outside the county, each blockhouse was also defended by the security forces, and two Japanese soldiers were sent to supervise.

Most of the puppet soldiers were reorganized from the previous security forces, and most of them were not dedicated to working for the Japanese.As long as they leave the supervision of the Japanese, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

According to past experience, after Zhang Quan and others arrived at the Gaojiazhuang stronghold, he told Ning Wen and Ning Wu to get ready, and immediately fired a shot into the sky.

Sure enough, as soon as the gunshot rang out, the two devils ran to the top of the gun tower to observe the situation, and were sent back to their hometown one by one by Ning Wen and Ning Wu, who had already been waiting at the side.Then the two sides began to exchange fire.

There was only one light machine gun in the gun tower of the entire puppet army. Not long after they opened fire, Ning Wen and Ning Wu shot in through the gun hole, killing two machine gunners in succession, and the machine gun immediately misfired.The six light machine guns of the bandits on the opposite side fought very vigorously.Although most of the bullets hit the outer wall of the gun tower, very few of them could penetrate the holes of the guns.But this kind of momentum made the puppet soldiers in the gun tower terrified.What's even more outrageous is that the bandits still have cannons, and they can shoot thieves accurately.The shells exploded one after another on the roof of the blockhouse. Although the power of the mortar shells was not great, if the bombing continued like this, sooner or later the blockhouse would collapse.
