Chapter 1088: Coolies
The smoke curled in the courtyard, and the cooks who cooked the devils were busy chopping vegetables and cooking, and the water in the cauldron was steaming hot, waiting for the pieces of meat to come to the pot.
Most of the Chinese people in the enemy-occupied areas were poorly clothed and hungry, and lived in dire hunger, but the devils relied on bayonets to scavenge the people's grain, all kinds of chickens, ducks, and fish, and ate fat and strong.
Guo Bing and the others have seen too many malnourished and skinny people, and now they see that the little devil eats so well, compared with the two, they are angry in their hearts for no reason, and their eyes are different when they look at the devil.
At the urging of the devil's cooks, Guo Bing unloaded several truckloads of vegetables and pork, and they roughly observed the surrounding situation.
Just as they each selected a target to prepare to kill the devil's cook, and then changed into the cook's clothes and approached the arsenal to blow it up, a devil officer strode into the courtyard.
Looking at this devil officer who suddenly walked in, the few brothers who were about to do it were all stunned, their expressions became nervous, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, preparing to push the cart and leave.
"Nagata-san, is the meal ready?"
The devil officer only glanced at the brethren and the cart dressed in the clothes of the common people, and then set his eyes on the devil soldiers who were in charge of cooking.
"Hey, it's going to be right away." A ghost soldier hurriedly put down the work in his hand and replied upright.
The devil officer ordered: "Send it to the warehouse immediately, and the car soldiers will rush back after eating to continue transporting supplies." ”
"Hey!" The devil soldier bowed heavily.
After the devil officer finished giving the order, he set his eyes on Guo Bing and them, who were pushing the cart and preparing to leave the yard; "Stand still!"
Although the ghost officer spoke very bluntly in Chinese, Guo Bing and the others understood it, and their bodies were stunned, thinking that they were exposed.
Just as the brothers looked at each other and were about to make a move, the intelligence officer, who was covering up the identity of the association, signaled the brothers not to act rashly, and immediately turned around with a smile on his face.
"Taijun, what are your orders?"
"What are you doing?" The devil officer's eagle-like eyes scanned back and forth over the brothers' bodies and asked.
"We maintain the association, and we are responsible for delivering pork and vegetables to the imperial army." The intelligence officer of the maintenance council hurriedly explained.
The devil who cooked also hurried over to prove: "Theirs, good people." ”
"Yo Xi, the work of the good people." The devil's officer had a smile on his face again.
The devil officer immediately said: "You guys come with me, and the reward is great." ”
Hearing that they were going to follow this devil officer, everyone was full of bitterness, who knew where this devil was going to take them, which completely disrupted their plans.
But if they don't follow this devil now, if they anger the devil, the consequences are not something they can bear.
"Yes, yes." After thinking for a few seconds, the intelligence officer of the maintenance meeting hurriedly agreed.
Although Guo Bing and the others were 10,000 reluctant, they still had to put down the cart and follow the devil officer out of the small courtyard of the devil cooking soldiers.
The devil officer took a few of them to the north along the road in the village, and the devil's guards and patrols along the way were constantly saluting, which gave Guo Bing and them a new idea, that is, to kidnap this devil officer, maybe they could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
But none of them dared to act rashly, this village in Dabeizhuang was not big, if the devils didn't care about the life and death of this devil officer, then they would have lost their efforts.
Guo Bing and the others followed the devil's officer and walked for a while before they arrived in front of an open field, where a row of devil's trucks were parked, and about 20 devil soldiers stood guard around them.
Several farmhouse yards next to the open space have been opened up by the devils, and now they have become a storage base for the devils' supplies and munitions, and more than 20 people are busy helping the devils unload boxes of ammunition from the car.
Seeing this scene, Guo Bing and the others immediately understood what the devil asked them to do, and their feelings were to let them come as coolies.
"Yours, assist them in unloading their ammunition!"
Sure enough, as Guo Bing and the others expected, the devil asked them to carry the ammunition.
In the past, the devil soldiers would forcibly recruit a large number of civilians from the local area to help them carry ammunition and dig trenches as coolies.
But now a large number of people in this area have fled, and even if they haven't fled, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled who can't walk, and now there is a shortage of labor, which makes the devils who are used to the help of the people a little blind, and have to do some manual work by themselves.
The devil soldiers kept unloading the ammunition, and they were already tired enough, and now they saw that there were a few strong laborers, who were willing to let go, and hurriedly recruited them.
Guo Bing's original plan was to kill the devil's cooking soldiers, and then change into the clothes of the devil's cooking soldiers, take advantage of the opportunity to deliver food, approach the ammunition depot, and then blow it up.
Now the devil officer actually brought them directly here, and they could even take the opportunity to carry ammunition to enter the ammunition depot openly, which made them feel like pie in the sky, and the process was unexpectedly smooth.
Previously, the devils had already captured more than 20 civilians from nearby villages to carry ammunition, and Guo Bing and the others quickly joined the ranks of transporting ammunition.
There are more than 20 devils guarding the ammunition depot, and two infantry squads are equipped with machine guns on the roof and in a bunker next to it, and the people are very strictly monitored.
Now that they have approached the ammunition depot, Guo Bing and the others seem not to be in a hurry, and follow everyone under the command of the devil to unload the ammunition on the truck and transport it to the yard for sorting and putting it away.
Seeing the mountains of ammunition that had been piled up in several yards, Guo Bing and the others were all excited, if they wanted to transport these back, they would have to arm several regiments.
But now this is the devil's control area, and it is impossible to transport all the ammunition back with so much ammunition, although it is distressing, but it can only be blown up at that time.
The devil's car would deliver a batch of things every two hours, including boxes and boxes of bullets, as well as various types of shells and supplies.
What tired Guo Bing and them the most was the large barrels of diesel fuel transported by the devils, and they had to unload these heavy oil drums from the car and build a supply station here to supply the devil's car when the time came.
Guo Bing and the others were busy until dark, and they were tired and had back pain, but the devil did not let them leave, but drove them to the yard next to the ammunition depot to take care of them, waiting for tomorrow to continue their work.
After a tiring day, the devil only gave them a meal in the evening, and each of them was given two nests and a bucket of clear and bottom-out wild vegetable soup.
"Dog's day, the little devil drinks wine and eats meat, so give us this." Looking at the clear and clear wild vegetable soup, some brothers couldn't help but complain.
"Shhhh
Hearing this brother shouting devils, the people became nervous, and hurriedly looked out of the courtyard, but fortunately, the devils guarding them were outside the door and did not pay attention.
"Little brother, it's good to eat some, hurry up and eat and sleep, I have to continue working tomorrow."
A man who had been caught as a coolie before grunted and drank a bowl of wild vegetable soup and kindly reminded him.
