Gunfire continued in the green gauze tent.

The war is about to break out.

Dashi Xiong Erlang did not send a report to the division headquarters for help.

The ninth battalion with a radio station did not have a code book, so they just stared at the radio station.

There are also three radio stations that have reported to their superiors.

The superior called back and arranged for the former enemy commander to find a way to send a set of code books to the East Asia Alliance Autonomous Army.

The Japanese built many embankments on the Wei River section of the canal.

After the swollen canal water flowed northeastward to Tianjin for a day and night, the river water level finally slowly fell back.

The people used soil to block the gaps in the canals, allowing the water poured into the plains to irrigate the dry land.

As for what the Eighth Route Army said about Tiger Tiger, what kind of bacteria have not been seen in thousands of years?

Once it enters the ground, it will slowly disappear.

Qianjiu and three men in black clothes dressed as businessmen pedaled their bicycles hard and twisted their bodies on the road between Qingsha tents.

There were turrets on the road blocking the ditch, so the four people dressed as businessmen were delayed a lot of time along the way.

I have been pedaling since morning until now. Every time I pedal, it is very difficult, and my legs feel like they are filled with lead.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The man in black who was following behind him fell directly into the sorghum field on the roadside, groaning and feeling severely weak and unable to stand up again.

The people in front heard the noise, stopped the car, stepped on the pedal with their left foot and put their right foot on the ground.

Turning around, he slashed Jiuhei's face: "I told you earlier that you must practice well with Qin. See what you look like now?"

The one who fell in the green gauze had his teeth trembling and colliding up and down, making a "tapping" sound, and complained in a mournful voice: "We have ridden nearly two hundred miles from dawn to now, even a hard-working man. I can’t afford to go to such trouble.”

"What Lao Qi said is true. We have to cross a blockade ditch along the way, and we have to guard against bandits shooting black guns."

The three of them talked, poured water into their mouths, and then lay on the edge of the green gauze tent to catch their breath.

After a while, there was a faint rumble in the distance in the east.

Listening to the sound, the movement is not small.

"Brother, the Japanese raided Xu Tieying a few days ago. After that guy escaped, he gathered some bandits and sent someone to tell us that he wanted to hide in our Soil and Water Conservation Corps for a while."

Zhang Jiu's fierce eyes almost subconsciously widened to their maximum size! Grinning: "Damn, this bad guy is really good at ventilation. Did he really say that?"

I think so, if he dares to come to our territory, hehe, it will be a good time to settle all the bloody debts he has committed in the past.

"Haha, didn't you see it? After a few days of hanging out with Lao Qin, did you learn to bullshit?" Zhang Jiu didn't expect that his subordinate would actually start speaking human language, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Don't forget that our butts were not very clean before," Lao Qi said with contempt.

"We haven't done anything outrageous before."

"Have you never done anything like kidnapping or extortion? Have you never done anything like cheating or kidnapping?"

"Old Qin said, as long as you have not done anything extremely sinful, you can explain the past clearly and let bygones be bygones."

Lao Qi didn't want to gossip with this guy: "If we get rid of this scum like Xu Tieying, in the future, everyone in North China, gray and white, will give a thumbs up when they see him!"

Under the white sunshine, a blockhouse lies across the east side of the blockade ditch.

A plaster flag hangs listlessly on the top of the blockhouse, occasionally swaying slightly when the wind blows.

The blocked trench was five to six meters wide and three to four meters deep. All three of them were riding bicycles, so it was very troublesome to sneak across.

Anyway, I have my detective card with me, so I can just go through the turret.

Since the group ran away, Long Range Goudan from the turret naturally also ran away without a trace.

The new turret chief's surname is Xu.

It took so much money to bribe the imperial army's translator to become the commander of the gun tower. Taxes must be collected as soon as possible to recoup the cost.

Unfortunately, few people have passed by the blockhouse these days, and most of them are ordinary people who are extremely poor.

What he received was also worthless imperial army military tickets. Mr. Xu felt extremely depressed.

Finally, I heard the men on the top of the turret shout: "There is a big fish coming."

The worried Mr. Xu's eyes lit up and he quickly climbed to the top of the building.

He stretched out his hand to cover his eyes with a awning and half-squinted his eyes to look carefully.

Under the sun, he finally saw four cyclists approaching and saw clearly the man dressed in black who was traveling with him from the detective team. Mr. Xu couldn't help but sigh again.

The puppet sentry next to him rolled his triangular eyes and stepped forward to give some advice to the new gun turret leader: "Brother Xu, these days, if you are traveling on a hot day, you either have to make a phone call if you are really in an emergency, or... this road is... Let’s open it, if you have money, let’s do it together, hehe.”

After the pseudo-sentinel finished speaking, he raised his hand, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and rubbed them together numbly.

Mr. Xu's eyes lit up: "You boy, you have a bright future!"

Qianjiu and his brothers approached the blockade trench, raised their heads and shouted to the top of the turret: "Hurry up and release the suspension bridge. Why don't you close the suspension bridge in broad daylight?"

Judging from his appearance, this person is not an easy person to deal with. However, they were on their way on a hot day, so they must have something urgent to do. They had a backer behind them, and they wanted to leave without losing any blood. Hehe, Mr. Xu was thinking secretly.

As the saying goes, if a horse does not grow fat, it will tire the brave to death and starve to death the timid.

Captain Xu borrowed money from usury to buy a gun tower leader. If he couldn't pay back the money on time, he might be packed up in a sack and buried alive by the loan sharks at any time.

Walking on the edge of life and death, the only thing that matters most to him is making money.

"Comers, stop! This is the boundary between the two counties. No unauthorized entry is allowed!" A loud shout suddenly came from the gun tower.

The four people who were pushing bicycles and whispering woke up.

Qianjiu was in a bad mood as he was driving under the bright sun.

After seeing the puppet troops coming out of the turret, I felt that the voice of the man opposite was very harsh.

Get angry immediately.

However, he also understands that his current strength is insufficient.

When your reputation is not good enough, you can live longer by pretending to be a grandson and causing less trouble.

It's hard enough to follow the Eighth Route Army, but there are still important things to do at this time, so let's not add to the chaos for the time being.

When the guy came out of the turret, Qianjiu looked at the guy's face carefully and knew immediately that he wanted to make money.

The Huibai Artillery Tower stationed by the Autonomous Army at the junction of Shang'an and Wei Highway counties on the plain collects commercial taxes on behalf of all parties.

As long as it has to do with money, no matter who becomes the fort commander, it will naturally be considered a good job.

As for who will receive the business tax, it is not yet known.

In order to install a turret commander, the various forces even fought fiercely, and the fight was bloody.

Mr. Xu was a tall man, with his right hand resting on the holster of his rifle at his waist.

Mr. Xu's eyes were as bright as fire. If he were facing ordinary people, he would definitely feel great pressure.

The people in the detective team are not good at dealing with each other, and it seems that it would be inappropriate to break up with them without hesitation.

However, Zhangjiu had been wandering around the plains for more than half a year and had no feeling for the puppet army at all.

He glanced at Mr. Xu with stern eyes: "You stupid thing, quickly put down the suspension bridge."

Mr. Xu looked at the eight brothers following behind him and made up his mind: "According to the latest regulations issued by the imperial army, all goods passing through this checkpoint must pay taxes based on their value!"

Zhang Jiuyi kicked the bicycle stand up: "You still want to collect taxes based on your colors?"

Mr. Xu sneered: "You look down on me?"

Qian Jiu shook his head: "I really don't know why Captain Xu arranged for such a living treasure like you to be here."

Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment: "Do you know the uncle?"

"Drinking together"

"Dare you ask?" Mr. Xu felt guilty.

"If you want to live a long life, you'd better not ask." Changjiu didn't want to cause trouble, so he took out a roll of notes and threw it to the tower commander: "Don't make it uncomfortable."

"Haha, are you sending beggars away?" The sentry who came down from the top of the gun tower and stood next to Captain Xu was not stupid: "Under the jurisdiction of our autonomous army, if there is no wristband from Commander Wang, even if it is the goods of the imperial army. , you have to pay taxes everywhere!”
