"Kawashima-kun, what on earth is going on?"
"I don't know, this is really strange. Why were Takeda and Fujino arrested?"
"Yes, didn't you say you were here to catch the officer who was secretly smuggling with the Eighth Route Army? I was so frightened at the time that I thought they were coming for the three of us."
Qian Dekai said with a scared look on his face.
The next day, in a restaurant in the center of Yangquan Market.
Japanese Shao Sakawajima, Japanese squadron leader Miki Ichiro, and puppet company commander Qian Dekai... Since secretly smuggling with the Eighth Route Army, they have made a fortune together and are complicit. The three grasshoppers who are tied to the same line are drinking and rejoicing here.
Yesterday, the secret service directly arrested Takeda and Fujino, which frightened the three of them.
Now the three of them gathered together to figure out what was going on.
While having a drink, there suddenly started to be noisy downstairs in the restaurant.
"Kill people, kill people, the Japanese officers are going to be shot in the market!"
"Everyone, come and see the excitement, this Japs is going to kill Japs!"
Miscellaneous words floated into the ears of Qian Dekai and the three of them.
The three of them were stunned.
"what's going on?"
"Shot?"
Not caring that the money for the drinks would cost three people, he followed the crowd towards the vegetable market.
In the central area of the vegetable market, the Japanese built a high platform here.
The little devil, who has a lot of knowledge about Chinese culture, knows about the post-Qiu Qiuze popular in the old society of China.
I like to execute prisoners in busy places like vegetable markets.
Therefore, the vegetable market set up became a common stage for the Japanese army to execute some anti-Japanese elements and shock the people.
The purpose is to let more people see it and maximize the deterrent effect of executing prisoners.
The prisoners who were pulled onto the stage for execution were naturally familiar to the three Qian Dekai, they were none other than Takeda and Fujino.
Their mouths were still stuffed with rags, completely gagged.
The Japanese were probably afraid. When they executed some anti-Japanese elements, those anti-Japanese elements shouted words of resistance to the people, such as "I will smile to the sky with my sword, and save my liver and gallbladder."
Coming closer, Qian Dekai and Miki Ichiro could clearly see the desperate expressions on Takeda and Fujino's faces.
There were many people watching around, with people of all identities.
It is the first time for the Chinese people that a little devil kills a little devil.
After all, Takeda and Fujino, who landed on the execution stage, were still wearing the Japanese Showa uniforms.
In addition to the common people, there were many Japanese and puppet military officers also watching.
When the money became available, Ichiro Miki and the three of Kawashima got closer, and even appeared in the sight of Takeda and Fujino, who were tied up and had rags stuffed in their mouths.
Takeda, who was kneeling on the ground with a look of despair, saw Qian Dekai and the three of them, and his eyes immediately widened.
He then hesitantly screamed and struggled, with humiliation and anger on his face.
"idiot!"
The Japanese who executed him were not good-tempered and grabbed Takeda's hair directly. Takeda felt the pain and calmed down honestly.
He just stared at how many people had to pay for the money with a cannibalistic gaze.
Bang bang——
After the two gunshots, Takeda Saburo and Fujino Kenji fell to the ground with their eyes wide open.
Especially Takeda, even in death, still stared in the direction of Miki Ichiro and others.
"Ahem, it's been a long time since I've seen this guy, this is the first time I've seen this guy kill a guy!"
The people were happy to see the situation before them.
"Good kill!"
Some brave people even crowded into the crowd to applaud, and then, due to the chain effect, more and more people applauded.
It wasn't until the cold gaze of the Japanese soldier holding a rifle on the execution platform glanced over that the common people put down their hands in panic and dispersed in twos and threes.
After that, Miki Ichiro and others asked other Japanese officers about the situation. After inquiring, they roughly learned.
The secret service is responsible for arresting people under direct orders from the headquarters. I heard that many imperial officers and Imperial Army officers were arrested this time.
Not only Yangquan, but also the surrounding Shouyang, Tan County, Ping'an, and even Taiyuan City, all arrested people.
The charge was to secretly smuggle with the Eighth Route Army and even sell Eighth Route Army arms, and he was punished as a crime of treason.
"Did Takeda and Fujino recruit?"
Miki Ichiro didn't even know how he felt at this moment.
He approached an officer who had inquired about the matter and asked.
The officer said: "You can tell by the blood stains on Takeda... he is quite a tough guy."
"He refused to admit that he had smuggled with the Eighth Route Army, but guess what? Later, a large amount of money was found in Takeda's house. How did he, a gendarmerie captain, get so much money?"
"But Takeda, a tough guy, refused to recruit. He kept shouting that he was wronged and framed."
"As for Fujino, he is much more spineless. After a few tortures, he committed the crime on the spot, and even admitted that he and Takeda were in the same group."
Miki Ichiro: "..."
In silence all the way, Miki Ichiro, Kawashima, and Qian Dekai returned to the private room of the restaurant to drink.
The three of them were all frightened when they thought about the strangeness of what was happening.
After a moment of silence, Qian Dekai took the lead and said, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the Eighth Route Army."
"Takeda and Fujino have obviously never smuggled with the Eighth Route Army."
“He was so unjustly accused and killed.
I heard from the previous officer that a large amount of money notes were even found in Takeda's house, including a letter written to him by the Eighth Route Army.
How can this be?
We have been cooperating with the Eighth Route Army for so long, but we have never seen the Eighth Route Army write a letter to us. "
None of you here are fools.
The three of them, who were secretly smuggling with the Eighth Route Army and selling arms and food to the Eighth Route Army, were sitting here in good condition.
However, Takeda and Fujino, who had always opposed smuggling with the Eighth Route Army and prevented them from selling food and arms to the Eighth Route Army, were unjustly shot.
I have to say that this matter has nothing to do with the independent group.
Qian Dekai and the other three didn't believe anything they said.
Finally, it was Kawashima who said: "Qian, you try to contact the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in two days and ask them if they know about this situation."
"Okay!" Qian Dekai responded.
…
Independent regiment.
The news that Japanese and puppet army officers were shot in Yangquan and even in many surrounding counties was quickly passed to the headquarters through the intelligence channels of the independent regiment.
Kong Jie, Li Wenjie and Xu Guoan couldn't help laughing after hearing the news.
"Old Kong, Old Kong, you are really doing such a disservice. This time you have tricked the Japanese!"
Xu Guoan was filled with emotion after hearing the whole story.
"First let the War Ignorance Bureau send a fake list, and then send our comrades to sneak into the houses of these Japanese officers and drop some money notes and disguised letters written by our Eighth Route Army."
"In addition, in the list given, there are indeed many Japs and puppet army officers who are actually secretly smuggling with us."
"Lao Kong, if I were a little devil, I would probably fall for this trick!"
Ha ha ha ha--
Kong Jile said: "Don't look at me, I'm serious. This thing was done by Shi Dahu's war neglect bureau, and it was that kid who was responsible for the damage. It has nothing to do with me."
Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie ignored Kong Jie's words.
Who believes it?
Although that boy Shi Dahu is also full of bad intentions, he is at most an executor. The initiator must be you, Commander Kong.
After joking for a while, Kong Jie said: "Wenjie, the Japanese are ruthlessly shooting the officers on the list we gave. This is to scare the monkeys and cut off the Japanese and puppet troops from secretly smuggling with us.
We can't be idle. You have to give us money, including sending a message to the surrounding Japanese officers who have business dealings with us. "
"Captain, what's the message?"
"Let's just say... cooperate with our Eighth Route Army. We have removed this stumbling block on the road of business for them. Don't delay the next business, continue it, and even expand it!"
"Eh!"
…
…
"What? Did Balu really say that?"
Yangquan, in the restaurant, Miki Ichiro looked shocked after listening to Qian Dekai's narration.
"Okay, this time it's confirmed. It seems that the unjust shooting of Takeda and Fujino was really done by the independent group."
The Japs Major Kawashima who heard this on the side said with some worry: "Miki-kun, I heard that some of the names in this list are really secretly smuggled with the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army behaves like this. This is betraying their partners. What if the Eighth Route Army Give us too..."
Qian Dekai on the side said quickly: "Major Kawashima, don't worry, this is absolutely impossible."
"The Eighth Route Army is still waiting to do business with us!"
"As for the lists sold by the Eighth Route Army this time, it seems that they are all guys who have recently been deliberately trying to go against the Eighth Route Army."
"They didn't cooperate well with the Eighth Route Army to make a fortune. They wanted to harm the Eighth Route Army. They were noticed by the Eighth Route Army, and that's how they ended up today."
Qian Dekai finished explaining.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. As Japanese military officers, Ichiro Miki and Kawashima felt a chill in their backs.
This is a blatant threat.
Keep those who cooperate honestly and according to the rules.
Anyone who doesn't cooperate honestly and dares to play tricks will be tricked and killed by them just like Takeda and Fujino.
Thinking about it this way...
"Qian, tell Commander Kong immediately that we are wholeheartedly cooperating with the independent group and will never dare to play any tricks." Ichiro Miki spoke quickly, fearing that he would make the same mistake as Takeda.
"Xinxi, that's what I mean. Commander Kong, please believe in our sincerity." Kawashima agreed.
Qian Dekai nodded and asked tentatively: "Two Taijuns, should we also gather all our development partners to explain this matter? We don't dare to offend the Eighth Route Army again."
"You have to have it!" Kawashima and Miki Ichiro agreed.
In this way, Yoshio Shinozuka ruthlessly ordered that the Japanese and puppet army officers on the list who dared to smuggle with the Eighth Route Army should be shot.
Not only did it fail to serve as a warning to others, it also prevented Japanese and puppet army officers from doing business with the Eighth Route Army.
On the contrary, it became a means used by Kong Jie to threaten these Japanese and puppet army officers, who dared not cooperate honestly with the Eighth Route Army, and this was the end.
Poor old Japanese Yoshio Shinozuka, if he knew that his move had the opposite effect, he would probably regret it...
