Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 113 Purge War

Ligong Town was originally called Ligong Village. It is a large village with a radius of more than ten miles. There are nearly 1000 permanent residents, with a total population of more than [-] people.

Because of the large number of people, many people from nearby villages come here to exchange things during festivals. Over time, this place has become a market town.

On a small soil slope tens of meters away from the entrance of the town, a few days ago, the devils captured dozens of young men to build a gun tower on it.Laiyuan City ordered them to retreat.Although the devil really didn't want to go back to the city, in order to save his own life, he still gave up his stronghold and withdrew to Laiyuan City.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops have left, more than 1000 people in Ligong Town are still living under the shadow of Japanese rule.

Li Zengzhang was the head of the village when he was still a village here. When a town was established here, he bribed county officials and then became the head of the town.

After the devils came, they often bullied the neighbors because they usually did all kinds of evil.Once he loses the halo of the mayor, he can be drowned by the smearing of the people around him, not to mention the blood-debt family members who come to him to fight for his life.

In order to preserve the prosperity and wealth, Li Zengzhang took refuge in the past as soon as the Japanese came, and bribed the head of the Imperial Association Army of Laiyuan City and the major commander of the Japanese army stationed in the town.Li Zengzhang continued to be the mayor of Ligong Town under the Japanese rule as he wished.

In order to strengthen Japan's rule over the region, after confirming that Li Zengzhang is loyal to the imperial army and holds a large amount of blood debt in his hands, he has no way out except to join the imperial army.The devil Shaozuo of the garrison directly applied for a platoon of equipment for Li Zengzhang from the county seat, and asked Li Zengzhang to set up a guard team to assist the garrison in managing public security in Ligong Town, help the devils collect supplies, and oppress the people.

Finally, he continued to serve as the mayor again, and he had a gun and a guard in his hand.Li Zengzhang was sure to get back the money he had bribed the devils from the common people, so the common people in Li Gong Town were miserable.

When the devils built the gun towers and wanted to be young and strong, Li Zengchang directly asked every family in the town to send out a strong man, and if he didn't come out, he would give him money.

The common people are not fools. Many people know that not only will there be no income for the devils, but they will even lose their lives in the gun towers if they are not good. Therefore, few people go to repair the gun towers for the devils.

In the end, under the threat of Li Zengzhang, most of the villagers took money to replace them.As for those who have no money, whether they want to or not, Li Zengzhang directly ordered the guards in his hand to arrest them and send them to the gun tower.

Sure enough, three people were forced to death by devils in less than five days after the blockhouse was repaired.

Fortunately, the devil received an order to withdraw to the county seat temporarily, and released the strong man.Otherwise, there would be even more people who were forced to death by devils.

It can be said that in order to make money, Li Zengzhang, who has done all kinds of evil, has done almost everything.

But because there are guns in hand, there are guards.Even if the people here hated him to the bone, they had no choice but to endure it.

When Yang Xiong, deputy commander of the Second Company of the Independent Battalion, came here with a platoon to increase troops, because the other two squads went to nearby villages, Yang Xiong only had one squad on hand.Before reaching the entrance of the village, relying on the support of the Japanese, Li Zengchang commanded the guards to fight back Yang Xiong and wounded a soldier.

After learning about Li Zengjue's situation from the people around him, Yang Xiong immediately became angry.

Since I was in the Eighth Route Army, I have never suffered such a big loss at the hands of the devils.In the end, a traitor was able to beat himself to the point of running away with his head in his arms.

"This Li Zengzhang must be killed, and the people in Li Gong Town will be wiped out!" Yang Xiong clenched his fists and said murderously.

The deputy instructor who cooperated with Yang Xiong to recruit troops here suggested: "Don't kill! Deputy Company Commander Yang, it would be best if he can be captured. At that time, a public trial meeting will be held and he will be shot in front of all the people in Li Gong Town. That will be fun!"

Yang Xiong's eyes lit up and he replied: "Just do it like this. When the time comes, you don't need bullets, just use a big knife to chop off his head with one knife, leaving him dead without a whole body."

Against more than 30 guards composed of hooligans, Yang Xiong has no pressure at all.

After finally getting dark, Yang Xiong took people to touch the town's entrance.

The dozen or so guards who were left by Li Zengzhang to prevent the Eighth Route Army from coming again did not see the appearance of soldiers at all. They even sat around the campfire eating meat and drinking, and there was not even a single guard.

There is no doubt that they regard their masters, the Japanese, as gods, and believe that as long as they have the support of the Japanese, no one will dare to attack them.

"Wait for a while, let them eat and drink enough, then hand over their weapons and see how arrogant they are!" Yang Xiong raised his hand to stop the subordinate who was about to rush over behind him and ordered!
Not long after, a burst of snoring reached Yang Xiong's ears.

"The gang of traitors are too arrogant. As long as you don't shoot or grenade, you can use the rest. Greet them well. Comrades, go!" Yang Xiong was the first to rush out with a sneer on his face.

Even though most of the guards were drunk, even if a ladle of water was poured on them now, they might not be able to wake up.But there were still a few guards who were not good at drinking and were awakened.

As soon as Yang Xiong rushed over, they shouted: "Who are you? What do you want?"

Yang Xiong was not polite, he directly stuffed the barrel of the pistol into his mouth, and then replied under a pair of horrified gazes: "I am your Grandpa Balu, if you dare to make a sound again, I will fucking blow your head off."

These people are bullying the good and fearing the evil. When faced with threats, they immediately cower, and immediately put on a posture of begging for mercy.

The Eighth Route Army who followed behind Yang Xiong was also very fast. One person was in charge of a guard team, and within a few minutes the guard team of more than a dozen people was tied up into zongzi.

"Go, go to your mayor's house!" Yang Xiong pointed a gun at a guard who looked like a captain and ordered, and then slipped a grenade into the opponent's belt, threatening.

"You should have heard of the power of the little devil's melon grenade. It's in your belt. As long as I gently pull this iron ring 'boom!', the melon grenade will explode, and you will be blown into a corpse. So, later When meeting acquaintances, you know better than me what to say and what not to say!"

"Besides, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you bring a dozen of us into the mayor's house, I promise I won't kill you!"

The team leader who was sweating profusely nodded his head and replied: "Please don't worry, Chief Balu, I know what to do, I don't want to die!"

Yang Xiong nodded and replied: "Okay, let's go! Go to your mayor's house!"

Because the town was guarded by guards, Li Zengchang, who had never been attacked, didn't pay much attention to the guards at home.Except for a guard standing at the door, showing off his power, the other guards were sleeping.

After all, the number of guards is limited. If they are not allowed to rest well, tomorrow, no one will take over at Zhenkou and continue to monitor the Eighth Route Army that was driven away by him.
