A group of figures was wandering on the street, a long line, all looking around. First was a middle-aged man in black, followed closely by a man with braids, followed by a security guard who had not seen him in eight hundred years, and then another A big man like a small iron tower, with a line of swaying security forces behind him.
The city gate in front is very lively, there are a lot of gongs and drums and people are dancing. What is going on?
The team was getting closer and closer to the city gate, and everyone felt uneasy.
Suddenly, several puppet soldiers flashed across the dilapidated tower.
The leader of the puppet army company had long seen the team coming from the city, and the one walking slower than the women.
As a last resort, he jumped down from the horse path next to the city gate and came forward to meet him.
The team coming from the opposite direction dispersed to both sides of the street and entered the house. It was so spectacular.
When the puppet company commander saw such a scene, his jaw dropped to the ground and he stayed on the spot.
There was only one girl left in the middle of the road, holding a beautiful little pistol and staring curiously at the company commander in front of her.
"Hey, if you don't defend the city, why did you come down here?"
"Oh, aren't the organizers here to welcome you to take over the defense?"
"Yes, didn't the imperial army give you orders?"
"We just came to take a look!"
"What's so good about this? From now on, you can guard the city and watch as much as you want!"
Uh, how to keep it?
Ganqing is really a country bumpkin from the mountains. The company commander has a black line: "Guard a few city gates and send a few people to watch several important places in the city. They will take shifts during the day and night..."
"Oh, that's how it is?"
The puppet company commander had long known that Battalion Commander Wang had arranged for the newly arrived security forces to take charge of city defense, and that they would follow the imperial army to the west to clean up the city, and make a little fortune along the way. He beamed with joy and continued: "Oh, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up and take over the defense, the battalion commander and the others have been gone for a long time!"
Lao Zhou was very nervous. It was the first time he saw such a scene. When he heard the conversation between the two people in the street, he came out of the hiding place and stood behind the girl.
Tian Sanqi beside him involuntarily clenched his gun and looked at it.
Tang Dagou still looked like a careless person with his hat tilted and his eyes squinting at the movement on the tower.
The company commander of the puppet army was in a good mood. These are just a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. We have to guard the county seat, and they will never touch our wealth. He quickly greeted the few people who stood up, and then said to a big traitor who was following him. Scolding: "Damn you, quickly organize those students, line up, and welcome friendly forces to take over the defense. I want to go out immediately!"
The traitor ran towards the city gate, and immediately the sound of noisy gongs and drums and panic shouting filled the street.
Lao Zhou, who had never accepted such a scene, was subconsciously nervous, while others were confused.
I don't know how to deal with this exaggerated scene in front of me.
When the puppet company commanders met with the people in front of them, Lao Zhou and Tian Sanqi were calm, they quickly stated the key points of defending the city again: "Don't worry, abide by the law with a small number of people, guard a few important places in the city, and then just move other Once the city gate is closed, only one gate remains, and the drawbridge is closed! Everything will be fine."
"So...simple?" Tian Sanqi asked somewhat incoherently.
"What's so difficult about this? It's no different from you guarding the cottage. We open the door at dawn and close it when it gets dark. People who come in and out of the city check their good citizenship certificates. For other things, there is an investigation team and the police are there to do it. Hehe, we don't leave the city for anything. , and then maintain law and order in the city and collect some security fees... If you encounter someone attacking the city, go directly to the gendarmerie to provide reinforcements to your superiors. If you can't defeat them, run away. There is Junxian County 20 miles away to the north, and our brigade is here Qixian County to the west..."
The handover was really simple. The puppet soldiers had long been tired of staying on the tower in the hot weather, so they simply lined up and left. They got off the tower and called out the puppet soldiers who were still sleeping from the courtyards near the city gate. They didn't line up even if they were swearing. , go directly out of the city!
A group of children outside the city shouted slogans to bid farewell...
Everything is like a dream, it seems, it is all real.
The job of guarding the city seems to be good, and you can also collect taxes, although there are not many people coming in and out on this hot day.
Tian Sanqi immediately shouted and jumped up and down on the city wall, instructing his men to familiarize themselves with the environment. The military police left on the street were very satisfied, and the police captain looked relieved and turned back to the city.
Not long after, a team of more than ten people from the black-clad detective team handed busy Tian Sanqi cigarettes and tea, then got on their bicycles and followed the puppet troops out of the city from the south gate.
The few people still on the street stared blankly at the security forces setting up defenses on the city wall.
Lao Zhou breathed heavily for a while: "Now, this city is under our control?"
The girl's eyes were wide open and she looked around: "It seems like this!"
Lao Zhou was still confused: "Then... what should we do now?"
"Go to the arsenal first!"
When it was getting dark, two miles away from the north gate of the city, Captain Yu and more than thirty people were lying down in a ditch.
A figure appeared in the distance, walking towards this direction in a hurry.
Seeing the dark figures in the ditch in the distance, the visitor quickened his pace.
The visitor jumped directly into the ditch: "Captain, we have found out that almost all the Japs in the city and Commander Wang of the puppet army have gone out of the city to the west. Now the security forces newly transferred from the north are taking over the defense. There are only two soldiers in the city." The police, a small number of military police, and the insider we installed have also left, so it may not be easy to get in now!"
"What are you afraid of? Let's check. There are gun calluses in the tiger's mouth on your hands. Quickly scrape them off with a knife and smooth them on the stone. Head into the city after dark!" Captain Yu felt that the Japanese had arranged for people to change defenses. The new arrivals must not be familiar with the situation in the county. , is an opportunity, but without the insider, it is also a crisis.
"Also, now, only the south gate of the county town is open. I think the equipment of these puppet troops is not bad, and their military appearance seems to be more powerful than that of the puppet commander Wang Battalion." The reporter quickly added the situation.
Captain Yu was not worried after hearing this. The Japs were not there, and the security forces were no different than paper: "Separate immediately and head into the city before dark!"
Going into the city seems simple, but the most dangerous time is when you actually undergo inspection.
The generals in the task force are all experienced in combat, so they should have no problem coping with the inspections of the reconnaissance team.
Everyone is empty-handed again, and their excuses for entering the city and certificates of good citizenship have been prepared. As long as they are not recognized by the traitors, everything should go smoothly.
But the weapons certainly couldn't be brought into the city, which became a big problem.
However, Captain Yu, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was not worried. He left a team of people and waited until midnight to find a way to respond from inside. After midnight, he directly arranged for a few people to sneak up the city wall, throw a rope and pull the gun up. If given the chance, even a person could pull the rope and climb over into the city.
This method is fine for a small town like Huaxian, but it cannot be used in a county where Japs are stationed.
Because the risk was so high, the Japanese traitors even put dogs on the city walls. It was easy to evade people, but it was difficult to escape those animals with sensitive hearing.
I hope those lazy security forces will reduce the number of patrols in the second half of the night.
It is impossible to defend such a long city wall with only one or two hundred security troops, and they have to change shifts.
Captain Yu did not lower his vigilance because of the absence of the Japanese. After careful warning, the first group of people quickly went around to the south gate, carrying their bags on their backs, and prepared to be inspected after crossing the suspension bridge in twos and threes.
The first team leader of the work team was accompanied by a soldier. The two of them glanced at each other, looking at the almost dry moat on the left and right, and then at the security forces patrolling the city wall in front, and slowly followed a few Behind the wheelbarrow pushed by the fellow villagers, we climbed onto the suspension bridge and walked slowly towards the city gate.
At this time, he was a little confused. The detective team that usually guarded the city gate was nowhere to be seen.
Juma was also carried to the side, and a dozen security guards carried guns on their backs, standing upright and not looking sideways, only occasionally looking at the people entering the city in front of them.
It seemed that without careful inspection at all, a security guard occasionally helped the fellow villagers who were pushing the chicken bus.
Has this security soldier changed his gender?
Or is he taking advantage of the opportunity to conduct a search?
Perhaps the people returning to the city should get to know these security forces...
The sturdy security force in front of me must be the leader. At this time, he is correcting the posture of the security force next to the city gate!
The squad leader quickly put on a smile and held up his certificate of good citizenship, but the dozen or so people at the city gate were busy arranging their military postures, and no one paid any attention to him.
But Liwuli followed the fellow villagers and walked through the city gate.
Until he saw the comrade who was responding to him in the distance, standing at the street corner and nodding to him, he still entered the city as if in a dream?
I prepared a good citizen certificate in advance, but no one even looked at it!
The piece of ocean that had been prepared early was quickly stuffed back into the pocket.
I had already prepared the excuse that I was going to the city to do some business, but it seemed that I had even forgotten it.
Oops, my mother's intestines are full of regrets. If I had known better, I would have just brought the gun in...
