All the men, women and children in the village were gathered together.
Black Crow Crow has hundreds of people.
Liu Baochang was a little confused.
It was obviously a security group last month, so why did it become the Royal Association Army?
In these days, ordinary villagers may not know what the Imperial Association Army is. As the village chief where the township office is located, he naturally knows more than the villagers.
However, no matter who sits on the chair of the county magistrate, he must eat food. To eat food, he cannot do without the common people who farm the land. It should not embarrass the common people!
The war is in turmoil. The worst thing is to grab some food and stuff.
The big reed hen raised at home was hanging behind Captain Liu.
He stubbornly believed that Captain Liu still wanted to protect the villagers. Even if he was acting like this now, he must be doing it for the superiors to see.
Because Captain Liu is his nephew.
My nephew!
"Hey, what are you trying to catch this time?"
Captain Liu had a dark face: "What are you arresting? This time the Imperial Army is here to visit everyone and give us some benefits."
"Don't lie to me. What kind of virtue does a little devil have? Your uncle and I are so old and can't stand the torment."
Captain Liu smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about the little devils, talk about the imperial army."
Liu Baochang muttered: "Imperial Army? Are you just those little devils who have been talking about co-prosperity all day long?"
"Stop talking, the little devil is coming."
Chug tug tug.
Motorcycles clear the way, and large cars go directly to the entrance of the village.
A ghost jumped out of the cab.
Captain Liu quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Report to Taijun Chichuan, all the villagers of Shilanggang Village have gathered, please give a lecture to Taijun."
Lieutenant Chichuan forced a smile and sang a long string of bird chirps.
The translator next to him immediately said loudly: "Dear fellow citizens, Taijun Ikegawa said that the imperial army has gathered everyone today to let everyone live a good life. In the past, you were oppressed by corrupt officials, and the imperial army is here to rescue everyone." .”
After speaking, he looked at Second Lieutenant Chichuan and heard another burst of bird chirping.
"Today, let everyone experience high-end and take photos for everyone." The translator said this and took out a stack of black and white photos and beautifully made IDs: "Look, the folks in Chengguan Village have already taken photos, and these photos will be posted on On the Good Citizen Certificate, everyone will no longer have to pay taxes when entering the city if they have the Good Citizen Certificate."
So the Japanese started busy lining up people to take photos.
You have to wait three or two days to fill out the Certificate of Good Citizen on site and post the photo.
People in the mountains have never seen this kind of battle. Naturally, they do whatever the Japanese tell them to do.
The translator shouted again: "Listen up, everyone. From now on, this good citizen certificate cannot be lent, and you must bring it with you when you go out. If you don't bring it, and you are caught by the patrol team, you will be fined ten yuan at the least, and shot at the most serious case."
"Also, from now on, autumn grain will be collected on a per-acre basis, with one hundred catties of grain per acre of land paid."
In the past, during the Republic of China, there were national identity cards, but they were useless. The villagers didn't care about good citizen certificates at all.
A villager asked bravely: "You said you only pay 100 catties? No apportionment or donation?"
"Of course, the Imperial Army forgives everyone. Each family is required to pay one month a year on a per capita basis to build roads, build forts, and dig trenches for the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army has no choice but to do this because bandits and remnants are rampant now. We We must unite and defend our hometown.”
Seeing that the other party's tone was still kind, another middle-aged man asked: "But the crops have just begun to grow, and the summer locusts have already appeared. Can we pay less for the autumn grain?"
"Che" the translator sneered: "In the past, the national army only accepted one hundred and fifty, but now the imperial army only accepts one hundred as a favor. Don't make a fuss about it."
The middle-aged man stopped talking and straightened his back. He even felt superior because he dared to ask.
The translator spoke again: "When you see the Imperial Army in the future, you must respect it. Also, for the sake of common prosperity, the Imperial Army has specially prepared benefits for everyone. We will open an additional door for the junior primary school, senior primary school, and middle school in Langgang Township. The Chinese language course will give the younger generation of the elders a new way of making a living. They can work in the shops opened by the imperial army or find good jobs in the county."
A villager immediately asked: "What about the tuition fees?"
The translator explained patiently: "The tuition fee remains the same as before. The Imperial Army is considerate and will provide Mr. Birdsong to everyone for free. No extra money will be charged. From now on, children over ten years old must enter school without any violation."
The villagers immediately started talking: "Is there such a good thing?"
"80% of them are not well-intentioned."
An old scholar in the village had a dark face and said to the young man next to him who had applied seven or eight patches: "The little devil is doing what the Xinminhui did again, trying to turn this place into the second Puppet Manchuria."
The young man hesitated: "What should we do?"
"Report to superior immediately"
The second lieutenant was very satisfied with this scene and muttered to the translator for a while.
The translator spoke again: "Everyone be quiet, ah. Taijun said that everyone will form a militia in the future. If there are any rogue soldiers, bandits, or gangsters who come to stir up trouble, they will just destroy the new order and destroy everyone's new life. Everyone must report to the Imperial Army in time, and the Imperial Army will spare no effort to protect everyone who dares to secretly access the Eighth Route Army and kill them!"
Captain Liu immediately stepped forward: "Liujia Village next door just didn't listen to the imperial army and consorted with bandits. As a result, all the food in the village was robbed."
A villager immediately muttered: "I've heard about this. I heard that the defeated soldiers were caught by the imperial army and all stabbed to death."
"That's not right. I heard that a few days ago, the imperial army harmed the little lady in Wangjiagou in the mountains."
"You know what the heck, it's good to be able to survive in these days. Besides, that little girl has access to the Eight Routes on her own. She didn't ask for it."
"I always feel like there's something wrong with this."
Mountain temples are usually built on the mountainside where the wind and energy are collected.
A defeated army was sleeping in the woods near the mountain temple.
In the temple.
Several people were drinking and talking.
He didn't take the mountain god seriously at all.
The patrol team members who escaped from the mountain ridge rushed into the temple panting: "Battalion Commander, something bad is going on. Someone ambushed the little Japanese convoy!"
The battalion commander sitting at the top immediately jumped up: "What did you say?"
The person who reported the news quickly recounted what he saw in detail, and finally added: "Brother, could it be the other brothers who escaped?"
Yangjiao, who was defeated in the camp, rolled his eyes and slapped the table: "The devils have been watching so closely these days, and there are still people who dare to attack the devils in our territory. They are obviously trying to bring hatred to us!"
A middle-aged man in a navy blue Mao suit next to him frowned: "If the little devil dies, there will definitely be a large-scale search in this area."
The commander of the battalion was walking back and forth in the room, and suddenly stopped: "Director Liu named Liu, didn't you say there are no other teams in this area?"
"Don't yell at me!" Director Liu glanced at the battalion commander, a little dissatisfied: "You ask me, I got this news just like you, how the hell did I know?"
The defeated battalion commander waved to the company commander next to him: "Second brother, quickly notify the brothers to gather and retreat to the mountains immediately."
The reporter from the patrol team hesitated: "Brother, why don't you send someone to ask?"
Battalion commander: "Where are they now?"
The man from the patrol team hurried to the map wall, raised his hand and pointed: "It's right at this mountain pass. Look at them, they are still preparing to snatch the little Japanese transport team out of the mountain!"
The defeated battalion commander shook his head: "This matter is a bit tricky. If they succeed, we will definitely have to take the blame."
The defeated company commander who had just arranged the retreat for his subordinates turned around and said: "No, we will share half of the meeting. We all have to leave anyway. Let's go and join in the fun before we leave."
Director Liu, who was sitting and thinking, suddenly shook his head: "I think it's best not to get involved in this matter."
The battalion commander was a little dissatisfied: "Why?"
"Think about it, if they are really our people, as soon as we show up, the Japs will be convinced that we will also participate in robbing their transport team. We will no longer have a good foothold in the future."
"What do you mean?"
Director Liu frowned: "Don't let them succeed. In this way, we may not have to run away."
"What a good idea!" The commander of the defeated camp was delighted and nodded in agreement: "The most important thing in life is life and death. We brothers have all died once. I have seen through many things. As long as the little devil promises not to go in for suppression, we will follow He does not offend the river."
The defeated company commander looked worried and shook his head: "Dealing with the Japs is like seeking the skin of a tiger. We must either surrender to the Japs or fight with them. There is no other way to go."
What he said seemed to make sense. The battalion commander nodded: "Take one step first and see what happens next."
Director Liu thought deeply: "No, the most important thing now is to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking advantage of the troubled waters!"
The battalion commander then nodded in agreement: "Otherwise, let's go in two steps. Let's go see the excitement first. If we can stop them, we will stop them. If not, we will just run away!"
After all, they are all people who have escaped death. They say they are not afraid of death, but in fact they are more alienated than anyone else.
It is impossible for people without faith to truly be fearless.
The commander of the defeated battalion was able to escape from the Japanese encirclement, so he was naturally a veteran on the battlefield.
Obviously, he doesn't know much about human affairs.
As for Director Liu, he obviously has a lot of background.
