The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2046: The widely publicized hanging corpse
Under the scorching sun in the early morning, there was a city in the distance in the low-lying area of ​​the Shandong hills. It had city walls, gate towers, and a gate that could allow two carriages to pass through.

It was a county town, a county town that had been occupied by the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army first arrived, the National Army did not resist. The reason was that their troops were fighting guerrilla warfare in the guerrilla zone of the 53rd Army of the Northeast Army. Naturally, they would not fight to the death with the Japanese army just to defend a county town that had no strategic value.

The SD provincial governor who had just taken office and was appointed by the Nationalist government wanted to protect the county town, but he had no military power and the security division under him had little combat effectiveness, so he pushed this useless job to the 53rd Army.

Commander-in-Chief Yu of the 53rd Army naturally would not pay any attention to the SD Provincial Chairman who was trying to seize his military power at the moment. He just found a perfunctory excuse, but that excuse made the SD Provincial Chairman impeccable.

The reason they gave was: We will take back that certain county town in the future, exchanging space for time!

Look, what a good reason! The old man, the most powerful commander of the National Government, advocated this.

As for the Eighth Route Army, it is about surrounding the cities from the countryside. Of course, this does not mean that the Eighth Route Army does not have any county towns under its command, but at least the Eighth Route Army has not occupied any county towns yet.

So just last month, a Japanese flag was finally flying on the gate tower of this county town.

It just so happened that the weather was very good during this period, and the plaster flag was flying on the city gate tower every day. It really looked like there was scabies on the blue sky and a plaster was pasted on it. It felt so dazzling.

But even if the common people don't like it, they have to watch it.

At first, when people heard that the county town had been occupied by the Japanese, the people in the surrounding areas did not dare to come here, and the people in the county town did not dare to go out.

But the problem is, even if the Japanese are the King of Hell, you can't stay in this place forever if you want to survive.

As the Japanese divided the Chinese into two types, good citizens and unruly citizens, the good citizens began to move, and even the unruly people who disguised themselves as good citizens had to move as well.

So, after all, this county town that had been occupied by the Japanese for several days came back to life, although it was half-dead.

It was at this time that the Japanese proposed a new policy called "Establishing a New Order in Greater East Asia."

In order to cooperate with the policy of the Japanese high-level officials, the Japanese troops stationed in Shandong also symbolically adopted a certain conciliatory policy and put forward a slogan, which was then painted on the city wall with white lime by the Japanese troops stationed in the county town, called "The Imperial Army Does Not Kill Innocent Civilians"!
Forced by their livelihood, people from all around finally came to the county town, and today was the day proposed by the Japanese troops stationed in the county town to resume the big market.

So although the people coming from all directions were not endless, there were still scattered figures of people to be seen.

"Grandpa, this is the county town. The city gate tower is so high!" A young man who was about to reach the city gate said to an old man.

"Hey. You should say less. After we enter the city, we will buy some salt and go back." The old man held a pipe in his left hand and a saddle bag on his right shoulder. He looked towards the city gate tower with a complicated look.

"Grandpa, when I heard people talk about my great-grandfather, wasn't our family also a wealthy family in the county?" The young man asked again, ignoring the old man's words.

"Well, that's all old news." The old man replied disapprovingly.

He was too lazy to tell his grandson about Chen Zhi's rotten millet matter.

Back then, their family was a wealthy family in the county. Their family had a row of storefronts facing the street in the county.

It’s just that his father was a gambler. He made a big bet with someone and lost all the shops!
As a result, their family fell into poverty and had to move from the county town to the countryside.

But who would have thought that just two days after he moved out, bandits appeared in their area and directly broke into the county town with the help of internal and external forces.

A bandit is a thief. If he burns, kills, and robs, can he still be called a bandit? Once a bandit enters the city, the wealthy families in the city will be in trouble. Gold, silver, treasures, silks and satins will be robbed, men will be killed, young women will be harmed, and some wealthy families will even be burned by bandits.

But his family escaped the disaster because they moved to the countryside!
The old man didn't know whether this was due to the virtue of his ancestors, but he really had to thank his gambling-addicted father for this, because he was sixteen that year and had just married before moving.

"Just tell me, sir!" The young man started to grit his teeth again.

The old man thought to himself, when I was your age, I already had your father! How could I be as clingy as you?
The old man naturally ignored his grandson and walked forward.

But before they reached the city gate, they saw groups of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops running out with rifles equipped with bayonets.

"Grandpa!" Although his grandson with sticky teeth was not young anymore, he had never seen the world and hid behind him out of fear.

The old man could only stay calm, comfort his grandson and tell him everything was fine, and move forward.

It must be said that this old man had really seen the world. He thought that there must be nothing wrong with his family, and the Japanese devils would definitely not come only for him.

If the common people came here to go to the market, everyone would have to bear the consequences together if the stone collapsed. Even if everyone was crushed to death, it would be impossible for them to be the only one to be killed. They would have to accept their fate.

The old man just forced himself to walk forward calmly, but the common people who followed him got cramps in their calves when they saw the Japanese soldiers.

The natural result of the cramp in my calf was that my body turned back. At this time, I realized that I was going to the market to buy daily necessities, so I wanted to turn around and run away.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Don't run! The Imperial Army won't kill you, it's time to go to the market!" Some puppet soldiers shouted.

The puppet soldier's shout was polite. The most impolite one was the puppet soldier who shouted, "Whoever dares to run, I'll shoot him. Get back into the city!"

It was just that the more arrogant puppet soldier would have shouted, but he raised his rifle and acted as if he was ready to shoot!

But before he could steady his gun, a short Japanese sergeant jumped over, stood up and slapped the puppet soldier in the face!
With a "slap" sound, the big slap was so loud that the short Japanese soldier really jumped up and slapped him in the face.

The puppet soldier was stunned by the blow and his rifle fell to the ground as his hand loosened.

But would he dare to confront the Japanese? Of course not!
It is said that when beating a dog, one has to look at the owner first, but this dog looks at its owner more than the person who beats it. When a dog has been with its owner for a long time, it can definitely tell the owner's joys and sorrows!

"Baga!" The Japanese sergeant cursed again, and seeing that the people behind the old man and his grandson were still trying to run, he pointed at a man in his group who was only wearing a Japanese hat but Chinese clothes.

"Everyone listen up!" the man shouted. It turned out that he was an interpreter. "You should go to the market. The Imperial Army will not kill innocent people. The Imperial Army also said that they will guarantee that you will come here in one piece and return in one piece. Just pass the message back!"

At this time, the younger one of the grandfather and grandson suddenly touched the old man and whispered, "Grandpa, look at the top of the city gate tower."

Hey, this kid, why is his teeth still so sticky at this time!
The old man was blaming his ignorant grandson in his heart, but he still looked up at the city gate tower.

And when he saw this, he was stunned!

Because he saw that just inside the city wall, under the city gate tower, a row of people were being pulled by ropes and slowly rising!
The person tied with the rope must be dead, because the rope is tied around his neck. And if no one in that row of people is struggling, then they are all dead, right?
The old man looked at the color of those people's clothes again. Although there were definitely bloodstains on some of them, he could vaguely tell that the color of the clothes was that of the National Army.

This is the majority of the people, but among them there are two people wearing flowery clothes. You can tell from their figures that they are women, but the women have disheveled hair and you can’t see what their faces look like!
Of course, it’s useless even if you see it. According to the Japanese, he was beaten to death. I guess his face was also smashed, right?
This time it was the old man's turn to be confused.

But at this time, the translator's voice sounded again: "A total of eleven soldiers from the 113th Division of the rd Army and two female bandits from the Eighth Route Army, one of whom was called Leng Xiaozhi, have been shot dead by the Imperial Army. Their bodies have been hung up for public display. It has nothing to do with you ordinary people, but the news must be spread!"
