The guerrillas settled in Yangjiawan, a few dozen miles away from Qinghe Town, and hidden, and the devil captain Sadao Kasai sent a detective team to give up although they searched everywhere to no avail.

After all, as long as the guerrillas don't haunt Qinghe Town, there will be nothing for him, and he will be happy to be idle.

Seeing that the grain has been harvested, these days the devil captain Sadao Kasai is busy organizing a grain collection team to go to the countryside to collect grain.

Although the devil has a complete industrial system, it is a small island country with a lack of resources.

Originally, they wanted to fight a quick battle and destroy China within three months, but they underestimated the stubborn will of the Chinese military and civilians to resist, and only the Battle of Songhu lasted for three months, completely breaking the conspiracy of the devils.

In the following large-scale battles, although the Chinese army was still defeated and the devils occupied a large part of China's territory, the devils were mired in war, and the consumption of various resources could not keep up.

They are now not only plundering coal, iron and other resources from China, and shipping them back to China every day to make weapons and ammunition, but also wantonly plundering food and other resources in the occupied areas to make up for the consumption of the frontline battlefield.

Qinghe Town is located in the Huaihe River area, which has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, and has naturally become a key area for devils to collect grain.

And this time, there are millions of catties assigned to Qinghe Town to collect grain, and those landlords and rich devils want to win over, and they will definitely not be levied from them.

Therefore, in the end, these millions of catties of grain have to be collected from the people of more than ten villages under Qinghe Town, and whether or not the grain collection task can be successfully completed is also related to the promotion and evaluation of the devil captain Sadao Kasai.

"We want to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, but now the Chongqing Army is still resisting, and the Imperial Army on the front line is still fighting bloodily. You can't stand by and watch, you have to do your best for the co-prosperity circle, collect more food for the imperial army, and make contributions to defeating the Chongqing army and establishing a new order as soon as possible. Got it?

In the hall of the Devil Garrison Squadron in Qinghe Town, all the leading figures in the entire Qinghe Town were all present, and the Devil Captain Sadao Kasai began to instill in them the idea of the so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

"Understand, understand, we can't go to the battlefield to fight, we can still collect some food."

Since Liu Liang, the landlord of Xiaowangzhuang, was raided by Yang Ling and fled to Qinghe Town, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend. The devil was also very smart, and immediately appointed him as the vice president of the maintenance association.

From a small rich man in the countryside who no one cared about, he suddenly became the vice president of the maintenance association of the entire Qinghe Town, just like a local chicken turning into a phoenix, which made Liu Liang also expand rapidly.

Of course, he also knew that he could have his current identity and status, which was given by the Japanese, so he was desperate to work for the Japanese.

"Yours, great good citizens." Seeing Liu Liang so upright, the devil captain Sadao Kasai certainly did not hesitate to praise him.

And when the surrounding rich families and leading figures saw Liu Liang being praised, they naturally did not let go of this opportunity to slap their ass, and they spoke one after another.

"Taijun, the matter of requisitioning grain is on me, and I promise to complete the collection of grain on time and in quantity."

"Taijun, leave Zhang Jiaji to me, there is definitely a grain of grain ......"

......

"Yours are indispensable." Seeing these wealthy leaders who enthusiastically participated, Captain Sadao Kasai also nodded with satisfaction.

"I will send someone to assist you, those who refuse to pay food for the imperial army are bad people, dead, dead!" Sadao Kasai said and made a gesture of chopping off his head.

"Thank you Taijun, thank you Taijun."

Hearing that Sadao Kasai would send someone to assist them, these wealthy leaders who maintained the association expressed their gratitude one after another.

"This is the amount of grain collected by each village, you can go to collect grain, and it must be collected in a week, otherwise, there will be no merit, and there will be punishment!"

Captain Sadao Kasai said that he would distribute the amount of requisitioned grain to these people and give them a reminder.

The devils were extremely vicious when they fought the Chinese army on the front line, but now they are pretending to be amiable in the occupied territories.

First, they wanted to paralyze the people in the occupied areas and make them lose the strength to resist, and second, they also wanted to ease the contradictions and facilitate the expropriation of more food and other resources.

For this kind of thing of requisitioning grain, the devils are reluctant to come forward in person, and they all ask the rich families and powerful people in the maintenance association to collect it.

After all, these lackeys speak Chinese, and it is convenient for them to communicate with the people, and if something happens, they can also intervene as mediators to cover up their aggressors.

After receiving the task of collecting food, these people who maintained the association immediately began to act non-stop.

As the vice president of the maintenance association, Liu Liang has not done anything since he took office, so he didn't want to miss the opportunity to perform this time.

He personally led a team of grain collectors to go straight to Xiaowangzhuang, he was familiar with Xiaowangzhuang, how much land and how much grain each family has, he couldn't be more clear.

The food that the people have worked so hard to grow has to be handed over to the devils, and the people are willing to do so, so there is often a situation where they refuse to hand over the grain.

Therefore, in Liu Liang's grain collection team, in addition to the puppet army of one squad, there are thirteen devil soldiers who are in the formation as a deterrent.

"Wang-"

Before Liu Liang and his party entered Xiaowangzhuang, a group of dogs in Xiaowangzhuang rushed out and barked at the grain collection team.

"Smack!"

A ghost soldier saw a group of dogs rushing out, and without saying a word, he pulled the bolt of the gun with a bang, and raised his hand to shoot.

"Woo ......"

The Devil Soldier's marksmanship was so accurate that the bullet pierced the body of one of the dogs, which immediately whimpered and fell, causing the rest of the dogs to flee in all directions.

"Yours, drag the dog's back, our meat."

The devil soldier put away his gun and commanded a puppet soldier beside him.

"Yes, yes!"

The puppet soldier was also frightened enough by the devil's amazing marksmanship, and hurriedly ran over to the bloody dog and dragged it back and put it on the cart that pulled the grain.

"Taijun, your marksmanship is really good." And Liu Liang, the captain who went to Xiaowangzhuang to collect grain, also gave a thumbs up to the devil, which made the devil quite proud.

"Devil, it's the devil!"

The sound of gunfire outside Xiaowangzhuang alarmed the villagers who were cooking on the fire, and some people poked their heads out to see that it was a group of devils, and they were immediately frightened.

The captain of the devil's detachment watched someone shouting and ran into Xiaowangzhuang, and with a wave of his big hand, the devil behind him split into two and chased after him.

"Run, run."

The villagers have a natural fear of the vicious devils, and they don't eat food.

They all packed up and ran towards the other end of Xiaowangzhuang in a panic, preparing to go out to hide, and the whole Xiaowangzhuang suddenly jumped up.

But when the chaotic villagers ran to the other end of Xiaowangzhuang, they found that they didn't know when, and there were already several fierce devil soldiers standing at the exit at the other end.

The cold bayonets in the hands of these devil soldiers made the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang frightened.

"Yours, go back!"
