The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 176
Zhang Jiuling really wanted to compete with the bandits in Taohuashan at first, but seeing this situation, he was already a little panicked.So he called and asked the security force brigade in the county for help.

Li Guishan, the captain of the Pingyue County Security Force Brigade, had participated in the combat meeting held by the 63rd Regiment.His rank is higher, so he is more well-informed, and he knows more about Gao Jiu in Taohua Mountain.When he heard that Zhang Jiuling had provoked the guerrillas in Taohuashan, he immediately became furious.

Li Guishan was a smart man. The reason why he surrendered to the Japanese was because the Japanese were so powerful that they couldn't beat them.However, Gao Jiu and others were able to defeat the mighty Japanese field troops. How terrifying is their combat effectiveness?
Pingyue County is also around Taohua Mountain.Li Guishan discovered that the Taohuashan guerrillas seldom troubled the security forces of Pingyue County and Shoucheng County, and their main targets were devils.

This style is more in line with the characteristics of bandits.The so-called rabbit does not eat the grass beside the nest.The bandits generally maintain a certain degree of contact with the government around the cottage, at least they will not fight with the people around them, and it is best to live in peace with each other.This is the so-called official bandit family.

Gao Jiu took down the county seat of Yu County and wiped out the security forces in Yu County, that's because Yu County is not around Peach Blossom Mountain.Gao Jiu had never caused trouble in Pingyue County and Shoucheng County.

The more Li Guishan thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. He thought that since Gao Jiu didn't come to make trouble, he would cause trouble to his upper body when he was full.

Now, Zhang Jiuling got into trouble with Peach Blossom Mountain and took the lead in breaking that delicate balance.In the future, the relationship between the Pingyue County Security Force and the Taohuashan bandits will probably deteriorate, and conflicts will be inevitable.

Li Guishan is well aware of his own military talent and the strength of his security forces.They are definitely not the opponents of the gangsters in Taohuashan.

After receiving Zhang Jiuling's report, Li Guishan was also a little nervous.He wanted to improve the relationship with the Taohuashan guerrillas, so he decided not to send reinforcements, and even reprimanded Zhang Jiuling severely on the phone.

After being instructed by the captain, Zhang Jiuling finally realized how much trouble he had caused.Seeing that the situation was critical, he asked someone to lift a white shirt with a bamboo pole, stick it out from the gunhole of the gun tower, and shake it vigorously to express his surrender.

Zhang Jiuling was worried that the bandits would not be able to let him go, so he took off his shirt like the veteran Lian Po in "Heroes of Generals" he saw from the stage, found some branches from the kitchen, tied them on his back, Then he took his officers and soldiers out of the gun tower, lowered the suspension bridge, and greeted the bandits from Peach Blossom Mountain.

Seeing Zhang Quan and others approaching, Zhang Jiuling immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept begging for mercy.

Zhang Quan was originally full of anger and was going to kill Zhang Jiuling with his own hands.Seeing that the puppet soldiers surrendered so quickly, the anger in my heart was much less.Moreover, seeing Zhang Jiuling's funny appearance, he couldn't help laughing.With this smile, the anger is not so great.He said to Zhang Jiuling: "It's okay to forgive you, but you have to do as I tell you."

Zhang Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could save his life.He hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness to the second master. Your old man's orders, the young one will definitely obey."

Zhang Quan and others confiscated the weapons of the puppet soldiers, ransacked the gun tower, and left with the team.

However, this time he did not set fire to the blockhouse, and still let Zhang Jiuling's men garrison here.

Xiwangzhuang.

Xiwangzhuang is not big, there are only more than 40 families. There are many people and little land, and the land is barren. Everyone's life is very poor.

Ever since the bandits came to Peach Blossom Mountain, especially recently, the life of the people in this village has begun to improve.Every household is willing to do business with the bandits on the mountain. They sell their own local products to the bandits, or go to other places to traffic some goods for resale.The standard of living is much higher than before.

When they traded with the bandits on the mountain, the bandits told them that they would no longer need to pay any taxes to the government.Although the common people were happy in their hearts, they couldn't believe it.They think that after the official uniform knows about this, they will think that they are collaborating with bandits, which is a matter of losing their heads.

But the bandits in Taohuashan vowed to tell the villagers that no matter what happens, Taohuashan will definitely stand up for them.

The government levied heavy miscellaneous taxes, and the Japanese and puppet troops also carried out looting from time to time. Of course, the villagers were unwilling to pay the money.They were skeptical, and decided to try it out according to the bandit's advice.Anyway, if the government pursued them, they would say that the bandits forced him to do so.As a result, the villagers bit the bullet and stopped paying taxes.

Last night, Li Gouzeng, who had gone to the market, ran back. Seeing his miserable state, everyone panicked.Although he said that the bandits on Peach Blossom Mountain promised to help him out, the villagers couldn't believe it.

The village chief discussed with several prestigious people in the village, and went to each household overnight to collect security fees.The village head went to the town to ask the mayor to come forward, went to the Gaojiazhuang blockhouse, apologized to Zhang Jiuling, asked for forgiveness, and didn't treat them as gangsters.

Early this morning, the mayor of the village, Wang Dayong, agreed to come forward to resolve the matter after he talked all kinds of things.The mayor, the village chief and others bought a batch of pork, eggs and vegetables from the town, and they were going to the Gaojiazhuang blockhouse to intercede for the people of Xiwangzhuang and redeem Li Gouzeng's nephew by the way. Those goods, even if they are filial piety to Zhang Jiuling.

They had just walked a short distance when they saw a strange person coming in front of them.He was shirtless, with a lot of branches tied around his body, walking towards the town dejectedly.

Soon, both the village chief and the town chief recognized him. This guy turned out to be the tyrannical Zhang Jiuling.

The village head and the mayor looked at each other, wondering which one this guy was playing?They originally wanted to apologize to Zhang Jiuling, but when they saw him coming, they had no choice but to go forward.

Mayor Wang Dayong said: "Captain Zhang, what is this?"

Zhang Jiuling smiled wryly and shook his head.

The village head remembered what Li Gousheng said, and he had already guessed a bit.But he didn't dare to express his intention rashly. He said: "Captain Zhang, Li Gousheng in our village is a guy who doesn't know anything. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. We have already dealt with security expenses. If they are all collected, please be merciful and let his nephew go."

Zhang Jiuling looked around in horror, waved his hands, and bowed to the village head with his hands clasped in both hands, and said, "Cun Chief Wang, don't say such things again. It's not that Li Gou left Master Li to be ignorant, but that I If you don’t know Mount Tai with your eyes, please ask Village Chief Wang to help you say good things and expose this beam.”

Mayor Wang Dayong and Village Chief Wang already understood in their hearts that the bandits on Taohua Mountain must have come down the mountain and scared Zhang Jiuling.Seeing Zhang Jiuling, who used to be domineering and domineering, in such a mess.Not to mention how happy the two of them were.They really wanted to laugh out loud, but they didn't dare to offend this guy, so they tried to hold back, the feeling was really uncomfortable.

Soon after, Zhang Jiuling, accompanied by the mayor Wang Dayong and the village chief Wang, came to Xiwangzhuang.

Li Gousheng was beaten, and the villagers sympathized with him.However, after everyone paid the security fee, they were all in a bad mood, and their attitude towards Li Gousheng changed.Everyone complained that he was ignorant and offended Zhang Jiuling. This is a good time, and everyone is out of luck.Not only that, everyone was also worried that Zhang Jiuling would not let him go, and what would happen next might be bad.Everyone hoped that the village head could properly resolve the matter, so that Zhang Jiuling wouldn't bear the grudge.

Now everyone in the village is starting to feel a little scared, and they all decided not to associate with the bandits in Peach Blossom Mountain in the future.It doesn't matter if you earn less money, if you are considered a gangster by the government, it won't be worth it if you lose your head.

Mayor Wang Dalai and Village Chief Wang accompanied Zhang Jiuling.The villagers were very happy to see Zhang Jiuling's embarrassed look.They also guessed a little bit about the cause of the matter.So, everyone gathered around to watch the fun.

When Zhang Jiuling saw Li Gousheng, he knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Li Gousheng, Mr. Li. I, Zhang Jiuling, don't know Taishan, and I offended you old man. I hope you will be more generous and spare the little one." Dog's life." As he spoke, he kowtowed.

The surrounding villagers looked at this scene curiously, and couldn't help talking.

Li Gousheng was a man with a temper, he was beaten for no reason, and was reprimanded by the villagers, so he swallowed it for a while.He glanced at the villagers proudly, raised his chin, and ignored Zhang Jiuling.

Village head Wang is a kind person, but he is timid and fearful. He is worried that Li Gousheng will make Zhang Jiuling unable to get down the steps, and he will become angry from embarrassment and will retaliate in the future.He hurried forward to persuade Li Gousheng to give up.Zhang Jiuling stood up and announced to the villagers that the village would no longer have to pay security fees and all other fees.He promised that he would not come to Xiwangzhuang to cause trouble, and he would persuade Captain Li of the Security Army, and he would not come to Xiwangzhuang to cause trouble.

After this incident, the people in Xiwangzhuang were all rejoiced and felt that there was hope for the future.Moreover, they feel that their backs are very strong, and they no longer have to worry about someone bullying them in the future.

After Zhang Jiuling returned, he reported to Li Guishan, the captain of the Security Force.

Li Guishan was quite satisfied with the result of the handling of this matter. Although the Taohuashan guerrillas took away half of his squadron's weapons and ammunition, they left them all to him, and the gun towers were not burned down.As long as he replenishes a batch of supplies, Gaojiazhuang is still his territory.He felt that Gao Jiu and the others were enlightened bandits, and they could still deal with them in the future.

Li Guishan approached the county magistrate of Pingyue in private and informed him of the situation.The county government notified the mayor of the town where Xiwangzhuang is located, asking them to

No longer collect taxes from the three villages around Taohua Mountain, such as Xiwangzhuang, as if there are no these three villages in this area.

After this incident, the 17 villages around Taohua Mountain all enjoyed the same treatment as Xiwangzhuang.Pingyue and Shoucheng counties removed these 17 villages from their tax accounts.

The villagers in these 17 villages were proud and showed off their good life to their relatives and friends, making the people living in other places envious.Since then, the villagers in these 17 villages have become the fortress households of the Taohuashan guerrillas, and they will promptly report the movements of the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops to the Taohuashan guerrillas.

This morning, Gao Jiu, as usual, led the special forces down to the valley to start a day of military training.Just after he announced that he had completed today's training subjects, he saw a member of the guard running down the mountain.He reported to Gao Jiu that Wang Yuling had received an important telegram and asked Master Jiu to go back and translate it himself.

Not long after Gao Jiu went back, he sent people down to ask Zhang Quan, Guo Hengming and Du Shengxi to go back for a meeting.

The telegram was sent by Zhou Mingshan, the deputy head of the Jinan Station of the Military Command. After Guo Hengming read it, he looked at Gao Jiu expectantly, and said, "Master Jiu, this is a good opportunity."
