If everyone in these countries rises up to resist, then the little devil may not last long without food or drink.
But the arrival of guerrillas like Yang Ling, who attacked and killed devils everywhere, destroyed communication lines, publicized anti-Japanese ideas, and ruined the good things of the little devils, naturally became a thorn in the flesh of the little devils, and they wanted to get rid of them quickly.
However, the Devils Guard Squadron in Qinghe Town had suffered losses in several fights with Yang Ling and the others. Devil Captain Kasai Sadao also learned his lesson, and stopped attacking rashly, becoming a coward.
However, he wasn't idle either. He acted like a coward on the surface, but he didn't relax secretly. While requesting reinforcements from the garrison in Huaiyin County, Kasai Sadao sent out plainclothes teams, detective teams, and hidden spies to spy on Yang Ling and the others. After all, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.
Yang Ling also knew that the devil would definitely not let it go, and was actively expanding its military to prepare for the new battle.
Yang Ling and the devils had a tacit understanding that no large-scale battle took place. Although it looked calm, there was a dark tide secretly.
Now both sides are accumulating strength, Qinghe Town is calm, and the big families nearby are also watching in secret, ready to be a fool at any time.
After all, for them who live in the cracks, if they want to keep their family property and fertile land, they have to do both. When the devils come, they welcome them with wine and meat, and when the guerrillas come, they also applaud with both hands.
Especially in the home of Qian Fuming, a big family in Zhangjiaji, two banners were made, one was to welcome the imperial army, and the other was to welcome the guerrillas. For them, there was no patriotic stance. important.
Zhangjiaji, where Qian Fuming lives, is a relatively large settlement under the administration of Qinghe Town, with more than 500 residents living there. Such a population would be equivalent to several villages if placed in a mountainous area.
Fortunately, the land near Zhangjiaji is flat and fertile, and irrigated by the river network, which is more than enough to feed such a population.
Although Zhangjiaji is not as populous as Qinghe Town, but with so many residents living there, it is much more prosperous than the surrounding villages.
And Qian Fuming, a wealthy family, relied on his shrewd mind to create a huge family business in just 20 years. Although despicable methods such as stealing and extortion were indispensable, he was always successful in his career.
But in this turbulent time, it is not easy to keep such a large family property. After all, there are various forces competing, no matter which side is offended, the Qian family may be wiped out.
The guerrillas and devils both have guns, and although the Qian family spent huge sums of money to buy more than 20 fast guns, they can only guard the home and guard the yard to frighten the young people. ask for trouble.
So Qinghe Town looks calm now, but Qian Fuming smelled a hint of danger from it, and secretly sent people to observe, ready to make a move according to the situation.
If you see that the guerrillas are dying, then hurry to deliver food and drink to the devils. If the devils are dying, you have to take the initiative to deliver things to the guerrillas. This is also the way to survive in the cracks.
Although Qian Fuming wanted to make a decision before making a move, and was ready to wait and see as a fool, but the so-called plan could not keep up with the changes, and the guerrillas still came to him.
"Our Chief Yang is hosting a banquet in Xiaowangzhuang tonight, please attend on time."
A brother of the guerrillas who knocked on the door of Qian's house spoke and handed an invitation to Qian Fuming.
"Boss, please sit in the room." Qian Fuming took the invitation and warmly invited the brother who delivered the letter into the room.
"No, I have to go to several other houses to deliver invitations. Let me go." The guerrilla brother who sent the invitations was also straightforward, and after cupping his hands, he turned and left.
"Then boss, go slowly, next time you must sit at home."
When the guerrillas left, the smile on Qian Fuming's face disappeared. Looking at the invitation in his hand, he suddenly felt that it weighed a thousand catties. Should he go or not?He is worried.
But in the end Qian Fuming still ordered the housekeeper to prepare a gift, and under the protection of several servants armed with guns, he rushed to Xiaowangzhuang. After all, the guerrillas could not afford to offend.
Similar to Qian Fuming, there were big households from more than a dozen nearby villages. They also received Yang Ling's notice to attend the banquet. Although they all knew that it might be a Hongmen banquet, the situation was stronger than others, so they had to go anyway.
Yang Ling also expected that these big families would not dare not come. After all, he had a lot of evidence that they oppressed the people and colluded with devils. If they didn't come, he couldn't be blamed for being cruel.
The reason why Yang Ling invited these big families over was to give them a chance to redeem their crimes, and to subsidize military supplies by the way, it's as simple as that.
Although the big households were all well-known figures in the neighborhood, they all arrived at Xiaowangzhuang on time when they dared to offend the guerrillas who beat the devils into a mess.
"Please come inside, please come inside."
When Wang Huzi saw these well-dressed rich men wearing melon skin hats, his smile was like looking at a fat sheep that fell into a wolf's den.
Seeing the enthusiasm of Wang Huzi standing at the door, the trembling big households felt a little relieved, and they all sat down in the hall of the temporary headquarters of the guerrilla detachment, and someone made tea for them.
They are familiar with each other, but at the moment they are sitting there only drinking tea, they all look sad.
Soon, the brothers in the cooking class prepared a table of meals and set them up. They were all simple and simple meals, and the big households also sat down one after another under Wang Huzi's greeting.
"Mr. Yang is here!"
Following a shout from the guard at the gate, Yang Ling in military uniform stepped in.
Text Chapter 768 Killing chickens and monkeys
Yang Ling survived the battlefield like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. As soon as he stepped into the living room, Qian Fuming and other squires felt a strong sense of oppression.
Qian Fuming and other country gentry had no choice but to bow their heads under the eaves. They didn't dare to neglect, and got up one after another to welcome Yang Ling's arrival.
But when they saw Yang Ling wearing a tall and straight military uniform, they were still a little surprised. They thought Yang Ling was a fierce and reckless man, but they didn't expect Yang Ling to be so handsome and young.
"Sorry for keeping you guys waiting for so long."
Yang Ling stepped to the first place, looked around the squires fiercely, and cupped his hands.
"Where is there, Chief Yang is busy with business, so we should wait." Qian Fuming and others spoke one after another, for fear of offending Yang Ling.
Seeing how these squires were so afraid of him, Yang Ling's expressionless lips curled into a sneer, he was right to be afraid.
"Everyone, please sit down." Yang Ling stretched out his hands and pressed down, and ordered.
Qian Fuming and the others wanted to be polite, but when they saw Yang Ling sitting down after finishing speaking, they all sat down too.
"Huzi, pour wine for all the patriotic gentry." Yang Ling ordered Huzi after sitting down.
"Yes!"
Hu Zi responded, lifted the mud from the wine jar, and walked towards the squires.
"Boss, let's do it ourselves..."
At this moment, how could Qian Fuming and others dare to entrust the soldiers to pour wine for them? They wanted to lower their posture and pour the wine themselves.
"Huh?" But as soon as Qian Fuming's butt got off the chair, he was stared back by Huzi who was holding a wine jar in his hand.
Hu Zi followed Yang Ling to fight in the north and south, and his hands were stained with the blood of many devils. Although he was Yang Ling's personal guard, he had an aura of calmness and prestige.
Seeing that the guards under Yang Ling's command were so tough and powerful, the country gentry were even more afraid of Yang Ling. No wonder they were able to beat the devils in Qinghe Town so hard that they dared not come out.
"Everyone, I'm new here in Yang Ling, and I'm not familiar with the local conditions. I'll rely on your help in the future. I'll do it first."
Every move of the squires could not escape Yang Ling's eyes. Seeing that they were afraid of restraint, they raised their glasses and stood up.
"It should be, it should be." Seeing that Yang Ling drank it all in one gulp, the country gentry also stood up and drank the wine in their cups.
Yang Ling and the others used strong wine to entertain the country gentry, this cup made Qian Fuming and the others' throats burn, but looking at Yang Ling with a serious face, he didn't dare to show it, not to mention the discomfort.
Seeing Qian Fuming and the others suffer but could only endure it, Yang Ling felt extremely happy.
This is just his warning to these grass-like squires. Who asked them to assist the devils? If it weren't for the usefulness of watching them, they would have killed chickens and monkeys a long time ago.
