Chapter 9 Getting Rich
The troops were divided into two groups.
Wang Ye led a platoon and headed straight for the Wan family compound.
"The puppet army battalion commander Wan Shunping is a native of Wanjia Town."
"His father is the local traitor, Wan Shengkui."
"But Wan Shunping lives in the military camp most of the time."
Secretary Duan led the way and introduced the situation to Wang Ye.
Wang Ye said: "So, Wan Shunping is quite dedicated?"
"Yes." Secretary Duan said hatefully, "This guy is a die-hard traitor. In order to please the devils, he didn't hesitate to kill the villagers of Wanjia Town."
"Let's talk about this year's autumn crops."
"It was the Wan family father and son who forced everyone to pay."
Wang Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
With just this one sentence, Wan Shunping and his son were sentenced to death.
Wang Ye asked again: "What about the other puppet army officers? Do they have blood debts on their shoulders?"
"The company commanders and platoon leaders are fine." Secretary Duan shook his head and said, "They basically haven't done anything wrong. Even if they have, it was Wan Shunping's order, and they were just following orders."
Wang Ye nodded: "Then spare their lives."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the north entrance of the town.
But it alarmed a watchdog on the street.
The dog heard the noise and immediately growled.
Wang Ye and the soldiers accompanying him suddenly changed their expressions.
It's just a few barking dogs, no big deal.
But if they keep barking, they might alert the puppet army.
But they couldn't shoot, so they had to use a bayonet to kill the dog.
In the darkness, the soldiers of the first platoon, first company, first battalion of the independent regiment only saw a flash before their eyes, and Wang Ye had already rushed forward. A moment later, they heard a "woop" sound, and the barking of the dog stopped abruptly.
After a while, Wang Ye turned back and gestured to everyone.
Secretary Duan led a row of soldiers forward and found a big yellow dog lying on the side of the street.
In the dim light coming through from a distant street lamp, one could vaguely see a pool of blood under the dog.
My goodness, Wang Ye just caught up with and killed the dog. Isn't that too awesome? He actually ran faster than a dog? Is he still a human?
After that, the group became more cautious.
After walking a short distance, they arrived in front of a large courtyard.
Secretary Duan nodded at Wang Ye: It’s here.
Wang Ye waved his hand fiercely behind him, and the more than 40 soldiers accompanying him immediately scattered and surrounded the compound.
Secretary Duan also took out his weapon.
It turned out to be an ancient pistol.
Wang Ye gave his rifle to Secretary Duan.
Then he took off his shirt and military cap, put on a white shirt and strode towards the gate.
There were two puppet soldiers standing guard outside the courtyard gate. When they saw Wang Ye, they immediately raised their guns and shouted, "Stop, who are you?"
Wang Ye kept walking, cursing in Japanese as he walked: "Baga, I am the special envoy of General Shinozuka Yoshio, the commander of the First Army of the Empire of Japan in Shanxi. I want to see your battalion commander Wan."
The two puppet army sentries looked at each other, not understanding a word.
But one thing is certain, this is a Japanese.
The two puppet soldiers nodded and bowed, "Taijun, who are you looking for?"
Wang Ye also said stiffly: "My, I want to see Battalion Commander Wan Shunping."
"Oh, you want to see our battalion commander." The two puppet army sentries quickly made way, "Please come in."
Wang Ye groaned, walked straight through the gate, and disappeared behind the screen wall in a flash.
Watching Wang Ye disappear, a puppet soldier asked in confusion, "Why is a Japanese running to our Wanjia Town in the dead of night?"
"Didn't you hear him?"
Another puppet soldier said, "Come to see our battalion commander."
As soon as they finished speaking, they both felt something hard pressing against their backs.
A cold voice sounded at the same time: "Don't make a sound, I'll beat you to death if you dare to make a sound!"
The two puppet soldiers shuddered with fear and could only raise their hands obediently before being disarmed.
As for Wang Ye, after going around the screen wall and waiting for a while, a dozen soldiers quickly followed.
After figuring out the direction, Wang Ye led a dozen soldiers straight into the backyard.
I saw that the lights in the upper room in the backyard were on, and the sounds of rock-paper-scissors could be heard through the window. It was obvious that the puppet army officers and the devils were having a great time drinking.
Wang Ye waved his hand.
More than a dozen soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns.
The next moment, Wang Ye kicked the door open and rushed in.
"Don't move!" Wang Ye took up a favorable position as soon as he entered the door and shouted, "Raise your hands!"
"Don't move! You won't be killed if you surrender your guns! Put your hands up!" More than a dozen soldiers rushed in.
The sudden change confused the puppet soldiers and Japanese devils in the house.
A Japanese soldier subconsciously wanted to draw his gun, but just as his hand reached for the holster at his waist, Wang Ye hit him on the back of the head with the butt of the Wangba Box.
This time I used all my strength.
There was only a "poof" sound.
The Japanese soldier's head was slashed open and his brains splattered out.
The Japanese soldier who suffered a fatal blow collapsed to the ground without a sound.
The other three Japanese soldiers at the same table were also stabbed to death by the accompanying soldiers with bayonets.
The remaining dozen or so puppet army officers did not dare to move and obediently handed over their pistols.
Wang Ye was not in a hurry to settle the score until he heard gunshots from the direction of the military camp outside the town, then he shouted, "Who is Wan Shunping?"
A puppet army officer sitting in the main seat stood up cautiously and said in a flattering manner, "Eighth Master, it's me."
"You are Wan Shunping?" Wang Ye nodded, and then said, "Now I am announcing a decision. Wan Shunping, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army, because you have aided and abetted the evil and done all kinds of evil things, today on behalf of more than 10,000 elders in Wanjia Town, I hereby sentence you to death and execute you immediately!"
"Ah?" Wan Shunping turned around and wanted to run.
Wang Ye raised his hand and fired one shot, killing him on the spot.
The remaining dozen or so company and platoon leaders were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground.
"Have mercy! Master Ba, have mercy on us. We are all innocent."
Wang Ye said nothing, but just walked back and forth with his Nambu pistol.
More than a dozen puppet army officers were trembling with fear and were terrified.
After several minutes, Wang Ye snorted coldly and said, "Well, considering that you guys are just following orders, I will spare your lives !"
"Thank you, Master Eight."
"Thank you, Master Ba, for not killing me."
More than a dozen puppet army officers were so moved that they cried.
"But!" Wang Ye shouted, which frightened them again.
After a pause, Wang Ye continued, "Listen to me, if you dare to help the tyrants and harm your compatriots in the future, Wan Shunping will be your example today!"
"We dare not, we dare not!"
"We must listen to Master Ba."
"Don't dare to harm your compatriots, never."
More than a dozen puppet army officers kowtowed repeatedly, wishing they could reveal their true feelings.
Wang Ye also ordered these puppet army officers to be tied up, and before leaving he also raided Wan Shunping's house.
The Wan family father and son really amassed a lot of wealth. They confiscated more than 50,000 yuan in cash alone, as well as gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and more than 100,000 kilograms of grain.
He also killed Wan Shengkui.
We had just finished raiding the Wan family, and Kong Jie had also finished his work over there.
The attack on the puppet cavalry battalion’s base went more smoothly than expected.
All the officers at the battalion, company and platoon levels were not at home, and the ammunition was locked in the warehouse by the Japanese who were in charge of surveillance. When the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment launched the attack, the puppet soldiers were all still asleep.
The Eighth Route Army broke into the military camp with just one charge.
The battle ended quickly, and the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment wiped out the puppet army's cavalry battalion at the cost of one person being slightly injured.
The wounded soldier was not injured by the puppet army, but fell because he rushed too fast during the charge.
More than 360 puppet soldiers were captured, and more than 360 war horses and a full set of equipment, nine imitation Czech light machine guns, more than 300 horse rifles and more than 300 sabers were all seized .
What made Kong Jie even more overjoyed was the ammunition stored in the warehouse!
There were a total of 30,000 bullets for the carbine and light machine gun!
There are 30 boxes in total, and each box contains 1,000 rounds. It is easy to count them.
This time their independent group really made a fortune and became local tycoons!
Looking at the neatly stacked ammunition boxes, Kong Jie suddenly felt a little regretful.
Damn it, he was really careless this time. If he had known that the harvest would be so huge, he would have gotten his share from Li Yunlong even at the cost of his old face.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
Kong Jie said gloomily, "Captain of the First Battalion, hurry up and clean up the battlefield."
"We have everything. Hurry up and clean up the battlefield." A battalion commander gave an order, and then said, "Commander, our independent regiment has really made a fortune this time, haha."
"Look at what you have accomplished."
Kong Jie said unhappily, "Are you so happy just because we seized such a small amount of supplies?"
"Captain, we have more supplies than this." The battalion commander chuckled and said, "The platoon leader just sent someone over and said that the harvest at the Wan Family Courtyard was also not small."
"Not to mention the more than 50,000 yuan in cash that was seized,"
"We also seized more than 100,000 kilograms of grain."
"Let's hurry and use the horses to carry it."
"What?" Kong Jie felt even more distressed.
"More than 50,000 silver dollars and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain were seized? Oh my God!"
Kong Jie wailed to the sky, why don’t you send down a bolt of lightning to kill Li Yunlong?
