Chapter 116: Changes in the Assembly

When Yang Xiong arrived at Li Zeng's house, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The guards who pretended to be the faΓ§ade also hid in the corner of the gate and took a nap because they were tired at this time.

Yang Xiong and his party walked all the way to the gate, and the guards squatting at the door squinted their eyes and asked, "Captain Wang, aren't you on guard at the entrance of the town?" How did you come back! ”

Before the captain of the escort team standing beside Yang Xiong could speak, two Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed out behind Yang Xiong, holding rifles and pointing at each other's heads.

"We are the Eighth Route Army, if you dare to say one more word, you will be blown off your head directly!" A warrior threatened.

The guards who were squinting their eyes suddenly woke up, and beads of sweat the size of beans also flowed down their foreheads.

Then he subconsciously threw away his rifle, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Eighth Road Chief, I surrender, don't shoot!" ”

With the help of the two surrendered guards, Yang Xiong easily entered the compound of Li Zeng's house, and directly found the barracks where the guards were located, collected all the weapons and ammunition placed by the guards in the corner, and then in a group of five people, they climbed up from the bed with a gun and tied them with ropes into zongzi.

Soon, more than a dozen people from Li Zeng's family were gathered in the compound.

At the beginning, when he saw that Yang Xiong only had a dozen people, Li Jian was still very arrogant, clamoring for Yang Xiong to let him go, otherwise when the Japanese came back, they would definitely be eliminated.

For these clamors, Yang Xiong laughed them all. Then he ordered his subordinates to lock them all up and wait for tomorrow's public trial to clean them up.

"Deputy Company Commander, we're rich!" As soon as he finished dealing with the prisoners, an exclamation sounded in Yang Xiong's ears.

"Food, a lot of food. We found several warehouses in the backyard of Li's house, all of which were full of grain, rice, and white flour, all of which were excellent! ”

Not long after, another subordinate ran over and reported: "Deputy company commander, we found the secret room where Li Chang hid money, there are a lot of silver dollars in it, as well as small yellow croakers and bullets!" ”

Soon, the Eighth Route Army's various harvests in Li Zengfu's house were counted, including a total of 38 small yellow croaker, five large yellow croaker, 19,536 silver dollars, and more than half a catty of various gold and silver jewelry! In addition, there are more than 65,000 catties of white flour, nearly 20,000 catties of rice that are rarely seen in the north, and more than 10,000 catties of various miscellaneous grains, totaling 100,000 catties.

"A small mayor has collected so much money, no wonder the local people hate them to the core, there is a reason!" Yang Xiong couldn't help but sigh.

Deputy instructor Kang Sheng followed and said: "I don't know how many people's fat and people's ointment there are here, it must have been accumulated by Li Zeng by forcibly grabbing from the people." Deputy Company Commander Yang, the battalion headquarters has a special order to deal with these captures, let us take out a part of it and distribute it to the people, make up for their losses, and let everyone know about our Eighth Route Army by the way. Look how it is divided! ”

Yang Xiong replied thoughtfully: "With so much food, it is definitely unrealistic to bring it all back!" ”

"There are less than 300 households in the town, we divide the grain according to the households, 50 catties of coarse grain for each household, 50 catties of fine grain, a total of 100 catties of grain, if you save a little, they will have enough time to eat for nearly two months, and there should be no problem to survive this cold winter!"

"No problem!" Kangsheng affirmed.

"Ordinary people are definitely reluctant to give up food. Fifty catties of refined grain can be exchanged for at least one hundred catties of coarse grain, which adds up to one hundred and fifty catties, which must be enough to eat for two months! ”

Yang Xiong continued: "It's good enough, the people are the hardest to endure during the winter, and I hope the people here will have a little better this year." However, there is one point, the grain cannot be divided here, but must be divided at the public trial tomorrow. ”

"The people's fear of Li Jian and the devil has been deeply rooted in their hearts, if there is no benefit, they will definitely not dare to come to tomorrow's public trial meeting, and they will not dare to stand up and report Li Jizeng's evil deeds. But with benefits, it's different, a hundred catties of grain can save lives at a critical moment, and it will definitely make the people come over! ”

"Good way!" Kangsheng replied in the affirmative!

Early the next morning, there was good news in the town: "The Eighth Route Army held a public trial meeting at the entrance of the town, and as long as the people who went to participate, every family could receive 50 catties of white flour and 50 catties of coarse grain at the venue." ”

Because of the squeeze of the Japanese puppet army and Li Geng, the lives of the people of Li Gong Town were worse than before. Ordinary people can still have food and clothing, and the people who are in poor conditions have been interrupted as the weather gets colder and colder.

If they don't get help in the increasingly cold winter, then many people in Li Gong Town will definitely freeze to death throughout the cold winter.

Therefore, in the face of the temptation of 100 catties of life-saving food, although everyone knows that the Eighth Route Army is a force to fight devils, if you go to participate in the public trial meeting of the Eighth Route Army, you may be retaliated against by devils. But in order to get life-saving food and keep his family from starving to death in the cold winter, he finally went.

It didn't take long for seven or eight hundred people from the town to gather in the open space at the entrance of the town.

At this time, Yang Xiong had already set up a one-person-high rostrum in front of everyone, and the mayor of the town, Li Zhang, and a group of guards were all standing on the platform with their hands tied.

It wasn't until Deputy Instructor Kang Sheng spoke that the people here knew what the public trial conference was for.

Seeing Li Zengtang on the rostrum, everyone hesitated. Yang Xiong's analysis is right, for more than ten years, the people's fear of Li Zeng has been deeply rooted in their hearts. Although Li Zeng is now tied with his hands behind his back, no one dares to guarantee that he will die today, and if he does not die, he will not retaliate against himself in the future. Even if he dies, will his master, the Japanese, come to take revenge on everyone?

Fortunately, Kang Sheng had been prepared, and two soldiers who had arranged in advance and were dressed in ordinary people's clothes stood up one after another and identified the captain of the escort team as killing innocent people in the village.

After confirming that the situation was true, Yang Xiong didn't say a word, and in front of everyone, he rewarded the captain of Li Zhang's escort team with a bullet and killed him with his own hands!

"Good killing, Zhang Dehui, this shit, should have died a long time ago!"

"Ying'er, Zhang Dehui is dead, the Eighth Route Army has avenged you, you can rest in peace!"

Soon, there were all kinds of cheers among the people, and even a few people knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the rostrum. Not surprisingly, they must have a family member who died at the hands of the captain of the escort team, and now Zhang Dehui was killed by the Eighth Route Army, kowtowing to express his gratitude to the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the atmosphere of the entire public trial meeting was really mobilized, and seeing that the Eighth Route Army had really killed people, the people below did not hesitate, and immediately listed the crimes committed by Li Zeng and his escorts.

In the end, Li Ji, his two sons, and eight subordinates all met the standard of shooting.

Yang Xiong didn't say a word, except for Li Ji, who cut off his head with a big knife, and there were no corpses, and all the others were shot.

After a crisp burst of gunfire, the people were directly boiling, and under the drive of Kang Sheng, they raised their fists and shouted: "Long live the Eighth Route Army!" ”

The warm atmosphere lasted for a full minute before calming down, and Yang Xiong also stood up at this time.

"Fellow villagers, in order to make up for everyone's losses, our Eighth Route Army decided to take out some grain from Li Zeng's family property and distribute it to everyone for free, 50 catties of coarse grain and 50 catties of white flour per household. In addition, there are family members who died tragically in the hands of the Li family, and each household is given an extra hundred catties of white noodles! ”

"In addition, our Eighth Route Army is a devil-fighting force, and we are now recruiting and expanding our army. If you are willing to join our Eighth Route Army, we will give his family 100 catties of white flour and 3 oceans as a settlement fee! ”

"The predecessor of our Eighth Route Army is the Red Army, and our Eighth Route officers and soldiers are equal, if anyone wants to fight devils, welcome to join our Eighth Route Army!"

"Finally, I would like to warn some opportunists among you that it is impossible for our Eighth Route Army to be stationed here, if someone unites with the Japanese and traitors to take revenge on the families of our Eighth Route Army soldiers, no matter who he is, our Eighth Route Army will find him back and shoot him in the name of traitors!"

"Don't doubt the strength of our Eighth Route Army. After all, there's no way the little devils will let you live in their barracks, as long as we send one or two masters over and kill you. Of course, even if we hide in the devil's barracks, we have a way to shoot him. We are not afraid of devils, let alone traitors and lackeys who give their lives to devils! ”
