Zhao Baishi quickly took over the city defense, leaving a platoon at the north gate, and sent a platoon to each of the remaining three city gates, and then led the remaining five platoons to attack. r?anwenｗ?ｗ?ｗ?．
Of course, the five platoons at this time are only the strength of five squads.
Seeing the heavily armed Sichuan troops entering the city, the people finally reacted.
However, the reaction of the people was not to avoid it, but to stop and watch the excitement.
Zhao Baishi and the Sichuan army officers had no time to pay attention and continued to go deeper along the street.
Not far away, Zhao Baishi saw a large warehouse on the street. The words "No Fireworks" were written on the walls on both sides of the gate. Barricades and sentry boxes were also built. But what puzzled Zhao Baishi and the Sichuan soldiers was that Gangting There was no one behind the barricade, and the gate was also empty. I didn’t know where I was.
Zhao Baishi didn't think twice and immediately asked Mr. Xue to lead a company to guard the arsenal.
After occupying the arsenal, Zhao Baishi took the remaining troops deeper and then drove to the gendarmerie station. As soon as he entered the gate, Zhao Baishi was stunned.
Good guy, the courtyard of the Gendarmerie is actually crowded with Japanese Japs.
Seeing the sudden intrusion of the Sichuan Army, the Japs were immediately stunned. However, no one resisted without the orders of the three traitor leaders Liu Shuming, Cao Xun, and Gui Xunce. In fact, these Japs were just living in a hurry. The poor people are forced to do their best, and there are only a few who are really willing to sacrifice their lives for the Japs. Naturally, they will not be willing to fight against the Sichuan army.
In this way, more than five hundred Japanese soldiers were all captured in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the entire Xingzi completely fell into the hands of the Sichuan army.
Zhao Baishi said with great admiration: "Captain Xu, I really admire you. How can you fight in such a careless manner?"
"Where are we now? The fun is yet to come." Xu Rui chuckled and asked, "Has the troops been arranged?"
"Everything has been arranged." Zhao Baishi nodded and said, "The second battalion, the third battalion and Lao Gou's security brigade have already passed towards Xikuling. Although there is one less battalion, the distance between the queues is also wide. It’s too big, and with the cover of the woods, the little devil’s reconnaissance plane shouldn’t be able to detect it.”
While he was talking, there was a roar of airplane engines in the sky.
Looking up, he saw a Japanese plane with a plaster pattern on its wings flying over Xingzi County. The pilot of the Japanese reconnaissance plane looked down from the cockpit. The scene in the county was clearly visible. The gendarmerie was still heavily guarded. , couldn't notice anything strange at all, so he circled and flew forward.
It wasn't until the plane flew away that Zhao Baishi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Captain Xu, why are we attacking Xingzi County?"
In Zhao Baishi's opinion, the troops should not stay in Xingzi, but should rush to Mahuiling as soon as possible to join the 74th Army who came to meet them. Because every quarter of an hour they delay in Xingzi, the danger will increase accordingly. Once the Japanese pursuers behind you catch up, you will be in big trouble.
Therefore, even though Xingzi County was captured without a single blow, Zhao Baishi was still somewhat resistant.
Xu Rui turned around and looked at Leng Tiefeng, and then the two laughed at each other.
Leng Tiefeng smiled and said to Zhao Baishi: "Captain Zhao, are you really planning to go to Mahuiling?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Baishi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said dumbfounded, "Did you not plan to go to Mahuiling Town from the beginning?"
"That goes without saying." Leng Tiefeng said, "Going to Mahuiling can only lead to a dead end."
Xu Rui also said: "Captain Zhao, I can responsibly tell you that the 74th Army will not go to Mahuiling, but the little Japs must have set up a trap in Mahuiling Town early, waiting for us to go in Drilling."
"Can't you?" Zhao Baishi didn't believe it, "Chief Xue's order was a secret order."
Leng Tiefeng said: "The order is a secret order, but the mobilization of the troops cannot be hidden from the Japanese reconnaissance planes. Even if the 74th Army is just pretending, it will soon be discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes. Combined with our breakout plan, After all, can’t the commander of the little devil still guess what the 74th Army wants to do?”
Zhao Baishi found that what Leng Tiefeng said made sense, and he had no way to refute it.
"So Ma Huiling is absolutely not allowed to go." Xu Rui added.
Zhao Baishi said: "Even if we can't go to Mahuiling, why should we attack Xingzi County?"
"In order to cross Poyang Lake and enter Wannan!" Xu Rui said, "We will be safe if we enter Wannan."
"Crossing Poyang Lake?" Zhao Baishi said in astonishment, "Didn't you say there is no ferry? How can we cross it?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "It is precisely because we do not have a ferry that we have to go to Xingzi County. Although there is no ferry in Xingzi County, there are many bamboo forests outside the city. If we cut these bamboos, we will have bamboo rafts."
"Chopping bamboo forests to make rafts?" Zhao Baishi still didn't understand, and asked again, "Then why do we have to let the large troops continue to go south? It would be good to simply let the troops enter the county and rest for one more day."
Leng Tiefeng immediately put his hand on his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Of course this is to confuse the Japs. Otherwise, Commander Zhao, do you really think that the Japs will just watch us build a raft to cross the lake? Once the Japs know that we are halfway across the lake, Stop, we are cutting down the bamboo forest to build bamboo rafts, and the Japanese pursuers will come up soon."
Now Zhao Baishi finally understood and suddenly said: "So it's so rude."
"Otherwise, what do you think it is?" Xu Rui smiled and said to Leng Tiefeng, "Veteran, you can't chop bamboo to make rafts in broad daylight anyway, so you have nothing to do when you are idle, why not get some side business?"
"Side job?" Zhao Baishi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, what kind of side job are you doing
Leng Tiefeng understood the situation and immediately asked Han Feng to sneak over the three traitors.
After a while, the three major traitor leaders in Xingzi County, Liu Shuming, Cao Xun, and Gui Xunce, were escorted over with their heads downcast. Seeing this, Zhao Baishi understood what Xu Rui had just mentioned as his side job.
Xu Rui took out the information given to him by Zhou Wenli and said to Liu Shuming: "Liu Shuming, Commander Liu, ever since you took refuge with the Japs and became a traitor, you have committed numerous bloody crimes in less than half a year. Did you ruin Widow Cao? Did you beat Mr. Tan to death in Tanjia Village? You also ruined Master Dingxiang of Mido Temple. Don’t think that because it was a rainy day, no one saw your cruel behavior! Hum hum."
Liu Shuming was so frightened that he fell down and even begged for mercy and stopped complaining.
"Want to live?" Xu Rui knelt down and patted Liu Shuming's face, and then said, "It's not impossible to live. Then let your family pay for it."
"Chengchengcheng." Liu Shuming nodded repeatedly and said, "I will ask my family to bring the money immediately."
After waiting for a while, Xu Rui didn't say anything, so Liu Shuming asked in a low voice: "I don't know, how much does it cost?"
"That depends on your own pricing." Leng Tiefeng helped, "How much do you think your life is worth?"
Liu Shuming's face immediately darkened. He looked like he was going to blackmail me to death. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay you five thousand, oh no, ten thousand yuan! I'll pay you ten thousand yuan!"
"Ten thousand?" Xu Rui winked at Leng Tiefeng.
Leng Tiefeng understood this and said fiercely: "One hundred thousand oceans, not even one penny less!"
This is also Xu Rui's experience summed up from many times of "fighting against local tyrants". Multiply the property figures reported by these local tyrants, evil gentry or traitors by ten, which is basically their total family property, and it is not far from ten. He did this in Pucheng and Feicheng, and it worked repeatedly.
"What, one hundred thousand oceans?!" Liu Shuming, who had just stood up, was so frightened that he fell to the ground again.
Liu Shuming said with a grimace: "But sir, this little man really can't afford a hundred thousand yuan."
"That's your business." Xu Rui stepped on his feet, dusted off his long leather boots with a serious look, and said, "If your family can't afford a hundred thousand yuan, we will try you according to the law. , and then execute him by firing squad. Oh, by the way, since this is during a war, we are doing something special and will hold a public trial this afternoon."
"This..." Liu Shuming didn't think Xu Rui was trying to scare him, and he didn't dare to risk his own life. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said miserably, "Sir, can you allow the villain to come back?" Go home to raise funds?"
"Of course." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he ordered Han Feng, "Fengzi, go back with Captain Liu."
"Yes!" Han Feng stood at attention, stepped forward and kicked Liu Shuming on the butt, saying, "Let's go, you traitor!"
Liu Shuming stumbled and fell, his face hit the threshold, and he knocked out his front teeth on the spot. However, he did not dare to get angry. He got up without saying a word and walked out miserably. Traitors have no human rights!
After Han Feng escorted Liu Shuming away, Xu Rui turned his attention to Gui Xunce.
"Gui Xunce, President Gui." Xu Rui said with a smile on his face, "The richest man in Xingzi County."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Gui Xunce was so frightened by Xu Rui's smile that he almost gasped. Then before Xu Rui could open his mouth, he took the initiative to bid and said, "Sir, I am also willing to pay 100,000 yuan." Dayang, I’m buying my own life, I just ask the officer to spare my life for the sake of 100,000 yuan.”
Xu Rui said: "President Gui is being humble. Your life is worth more than this. You are worth at least five hundred thousand!"
"What, five-five-five, five hundred thousand?" Gui Xunce couldn't stand the huge stimulation, rolled his eyes and fainted.
But who is Xu Rui? From Gui Xunce's slightly trembling eyelashes, he knew that this old beast was pretending. He squatted down and patted Gui Xunce's old face. He said coldly: "President Gui, please stop pretending." Yes, five hundred thousand oceans is already the lowest price. If it had been half an hour or an hour later, it would not have been this price."
Gui Xunce came to his senses immediately and said sadly: "But I really don't have that much of an ocean in my family."
"This is easy to handle." Leng Tiefeng said, "If you don't find the ocean, you can use gold and jewelry to pay for it. Of course, we don't want the land deed and the house deed." (To be continued.)
