Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Although Huo Feng was surprised in his heart, he couldn't show it on the surface.

She said with difficulty: "With so many imperial troops entering the city, I'm afraid everyone in Phoenix City will have to move out."

Jiujo Gongbei said with a smile: "Miss Huofeng, the Imperial Army will remember the sacrifices made by Phoenix City for the Imperial Army. Please move faster, Miss Huofeng. We can't let the Imperial Army wait outside the city forever, right?"

As he spoke, Kujo Miyakita looked at Takeda and said, "Our General Takeda is still basking in the sun!"

Huo Feng pretended to be embarrassed but had to compromise and said, "Mr. Takeda, Mr. Kujo, please come to my city lord's mansion and sit for a while. I will immediately order the residents to evacuate Phoenix City."

Jiujiao Gongbei laughed and said, "Ms. Huofeng, you are indeed a considerate person!"

Takeda also praised: "Miss Huo Feng, you are a heroine who considers the overall situation. No wonder you can rid the entire Phoenix City of banditry, hahahaha!"

There was something hidden in Takeda's words at this time. After all, the imperial army had died in batches, but Phoenix City was still there and it didn't seem to have been attacked.

So Takeda's words had a hidden meaning.

Huo Feng naturally heard it, but she did not explain. Instead, she invited Takeda and Kujo Miyakita to enter the city.

As for Takeda and Kujo Miyakita, they would naturally not be the only two of them following Huo Feng into the city. Instead, they would bring Takeda's guards, which amounted to a full infantry company.

After a while, they arrived at Huo Feng's city lord's mansion. The living room inside and outside was filled with devils, and Takeda, Kujo Miyakita, and Huo Feng also sat down as host and guest.

Huo Feng had tea served and ordered his guards to pass messages to all parts of Phoenix City, asking the villagers to leave the city and set up camp first, and give their houses to the imperial army to move in.

However, at this moment, Takeda asked, "Lord of Fire Phoenix City, where will these villagers go when they leave the city?"

Huo Feng pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Mr. Takeda, what does this have to do with the Imperial Army? They may be visiting relatives or friends, so we can't let them camp outside the city, right?"

Takeda laughed and said, "Hahaha, Miss Huofeng misunderstood. What I meant was that the imperial army will not stay here for long and will retreat after destroying the guerrillas. So the people in the village don't need to go so far.

I will issue an order to have them take out the military tents for the people in the city to live in, and I will also send the Imperial Army to protect them. I wonder if the Fire Phoenix City Lord is satisfied with my arrangement?"

Huo Feng frowned slightly, because it was obvious that the other party wanted to take the villagers as hostages to guard against guerrilla attacks.

But this is difficult.

The plan she discussed with Duanwu was to relocate the villagers, and then burn "Equality of All Beings" in the city to send the Japanese on their way.

But what now?
She asked tentatively: "Mr. Takeda, isn't this a bit unreasonable? The villagers are free to go wherever they want. Let them live outside the city."

Before Huo Feng could finish his words, Takeda interrupted and said, "I don't think it's bad for them to have a military tent to shelter them from the wind and rain and someone to protect them. Can't the people of Phoenix City make a little sacrifice for the imperial army?

I don't know how the imperial army viewed Phoenix City before. In my eyes, Phoenix City should be the territory of the imperial army.

We are very kind to give you enough freedom and management rights. So please do not challenge the bottom line of the Imperial Army. "

Kujo Miyakita felt that Takeda's words were a bit harsh, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, "Haha, Uncle Takeda's words were a bit harsh."

Then, Jiutiao Gongbei said to Huofeng: "My uncle is so straightforward. But he is also for the good of the village. With this arrangement, the villagers don't have to leave their homes, right? This will greatly reduce the inconvenience between us.

So Miss Huo Feng, just do as my uncle says. If there are any details, you can discuss it with me. I am very easy to talk to! "

Jiujo Miyakita had a playful look on his face, but Huo Feng was disgusted by it. But she didn't show it on the surface, but smiled and said: "In that case, let's do as Mr. Takeda wishes!"

Having said that, Huo Feng waved his hand, and the guards went to pass on the message.

The people in Phoenix City were naturally dissatisfied, but they had no choice. They also knew that this was an order from the Japanese, and if anyone dared to disobey, even the city lord would not be able to protect them.

They were all holding back their anger at this moment, wishing they could kill all those hateful devils one by one.

However, they did not have that ability. Although there were a few guns in Phoenix City, they were all old-fashioned ones. Most people were still holding spears or swords.

Therefore, fighting the Japanese with such weapons is simply seeking death.

What's more, there are so many Japanese devils and puppet troops. Even if all the people in the entire mountain village are added together, they are less than a quarter of them. How can we fight them?
So they could only accept it silently, pack up the valuables in their homes, and leave the city in an orderly manner under the command of the City Lord's Guards.

At the same time, the Japanese also sent tents, but there were only a dozen of them.

Apparently the Japanese were not so kind and gave all their tents to the villagers.

Moreover, many tents are broken and cannot block the night wind at all.

But even so, ordinary villagers didn't have it.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion could only find some strong young people to cut wood, cut grass, and build some simple shacks for the elderly and children to live in.

As for the young and middle-aged people, they may have to sleep outdoors at night.

Fortunately, it was late summer and the weather was not that cold, otherwise we would have frozen to death without shelter in the mountains.

Many people complained, but unexpectedly, at this moment, more than 400 puppet soldiers came, dragged the tired people out again, and asked them to cut wood and build shacks for them.

The puppet army relied on the power of the people and had guns in their hands. Although the common people were unwilling, they had no choice but to drag their tired bodies to cut wood for the puppet army.

And those puppet soldiers who relied on the power of the people began to cook.

I don’t know which puppet soldier stole two chickens from a villager’s home and stewed them in an iron pot. The aroma spread from far away.

The villagers were too angry to dare to say anything, they just prayed in their hearts that God would open his eyes and take away these bastards.

At the same time, preparations for the banquet began in the City Lord's Mansion.

Although it was still early, only around four o'clock in the afternoon, Takeda, Kujo Miyakita and others did not eat anything at noon.

After arriving at Phoenix City, Takeda and Kujo Miyakita had to deploy defenses, and they needed to personally walk around Phoenix City to look at the terrain and determine the number of sentries and patrols.

Also, on the city wall, the Japs no longer allowed the soldiers from Phoenix City to guard the city, and drove them all out of the city to stay with the puppet army.

When these soldiers saw the puppet army bullying the people in the village, there was almost a conflict between the two sides. In the end, Huo Feng stepped in to resolve the situation.

So, after all this time, it was actually past four in the afternoon before Takeda and Kujo Miyakita came to the city lord's mansion for dinner! (End of this chapter)
