Rise from the sword

Chapter 108 In Yurou Township, those who bully the common people and betray the country to the enemy, kill them!

"Master Liu!"

"My lord, Li Yunlong, head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Looking at the old hooligan who collapsed on the ground, Li Yunlong's tone was gloomy, and his white teeth could not express the horror:
"I heard that you are a wealthy family from ten miles and eight towns. You have a solid family background, and you have thousands of acres of well-watered land, so I am here this time to ask you to borrow some food. After all, you also know that this year's mountain The harvest inside is not good, and there is not enough food to eat.”

In the end, the smile on Li Yunlong's face seemed to be a little more kind:
"hey-hey·····"

"Presumably Mrs. Liu will not refuse, right?"

The rough voice was domineering and ruffian, and the words on the armband of the military uniform meant that this person had not lied, and that he had indeed come from the Eighth Route Army, which aggravated Old Master Liu's fear.

Hit local tyrants and divide fields.

A slogan came to his mind.

Are you going to finish it yourself?
My property and fields will be distributed to those poor people haha?

No, this is still the territory of the Japanese. As long as they survive this time, the fields will still be theirs, unless these people can drive the Japanese out of Shou County, which is absolutely impossible.

Although this group of people was very strong, with machine guns and rifles in their hands, and plenty of bullets, they were not at all like the legendary Eighth Route Army that didn't even have enough weapons and ammunition, but they definitely couldn't beat the Japanese.

The Japanese had guns, but this group did not.

Mrs. Liu suddenly realized his thoughts.

He stood up immediately, without even looking at the sandalwood crutch beside him. The crutch was used by the old hooligan only to decorate his status. He paused, lowered his head, and pointed to the backyard:
"It should be, it should be."

"All the food in my house is stored in the warehouse in the backyard. All these are given to the noble group. This can be regarded as a little contribution to the anti-Japanese war. The Japanese invaded our country. Unfortunately, the old man is too old and weak to participate in the anti-Japanese war."

"As for my third son..."

Mrs. Liu looked at his third son who was beaten into a sieve. At that time, his third son wanted to draw his gun to resist in panic, but was beaten into a sieve by Wang Gensheng's commando. His eyes were cold and his tone did not stop:
"Captain Li killed well."

"It's all because of old age and ignorance. I couldn't teach these bastards well, so they betrayed the country and worked for the Japanese. They also colluded with the housekeeper at home and entangled a group of local hooligans to force me to work for the Japanese. Now I was shot dead by Li Datuan. A good thing that benefits the country and the people."

After finishing his speech in a cadenced manner, Mrs. Liu took out a key and handed it to the soldier next to Li Yunlong, then pretended to be trembling and found a chair to sit down on.

This old guy has a thick skin. If the labor and management hadn't known this guy's virtues for a long time, he would have been deceived... Although Li Yunlong boasted that he had a thick skin, he was still stunned by what Old Master Liu said.

Selling his son and his subordinates, putting aside all relationships, and even turning himself into a victim, he said without hesitation and awe-inspiring righteousness.

Great!

If the soldier pushed the door open, behind him was a big red brick house, the door was closed, with a brass lock on it, unlocked, opened the door, revealing a neat row of warehouses.

"That's all?"

Li Yunlong's tone was puzzled.

This is much less than he imagined.

"Leader Li also knows that the recent harvest is not very good, and a lot of food in the family was given to the Japanese by my bad son. This is all the food in my family. Leader Li remembers to leave a bag for the old man."

Mrs. Liu responded with a pretentious sigh.

Behind him, Wang Gensheng said quietly:

"We've looked for it, and there really isn't any other granary here. Besides, the old thing wanted to escape from the tunnel at the time, but he was caught by that girl. Otherwise, the old thing really ran away, but..."

Wang Gensheng pointed to the restrained body of a maidservant in the corner, without speaking.

"Have you found this girl's family?" Li Yunlong remained expressionless.

"found it."

Wang Gensheng continued: "This girl escaped from other places. She came to Jiazhuang last year to join her brother here, but she fell in love with this old man, and forced her to sell herself to pay off her debts with land rent..."

"In addition, some ordinary people in Jiazhuang also came out to identify this old man. This old man forced at least seventeen or eight people in Jiazhuang to sell their daughters."

Landlords use land rent to force common people to ruin their homes, which has been a tragedy for thousands of years.

"This old thing, a trial meeting will be held later."

Li Yunlong looked at the old Mr. Liu who was sitting quietly on the side, pretending to be beating his back to sell the old man, weighed the big knife in his hand, and raised the corner of his mouth ferociously: "Let the soldiers dig the ground, look for it in the front and back yards, Where else can the landlord’s food be hidden?”

After fighting with the landlord for so long, Chief Li Datuan was clear about their tactics and tricks. He didn't even bother to ask the nursing home. He just asked the soldiers to dig the ground. There are only a few places and they can be found quickly.

"Yes."

Wang Gensheng immediately took people to dig the ground to search for it.

Soon, a huge cellar was dug out, and the grain inside made Li Yunlong's eyes widen.

This is a sum of grain more than ten times larger than the rear granary, and all of it is packed in sacks. He has only seen it in the logistics department of the headquarters, and that is the logistics department of the entire army. It's just a landlord's granary.

"This, I'm afraid there are nearly a hundred tons..."

Huang Baowang, who had just been promoted to the logistics transportation team of the Independent Regiment, opened his mouth wide: "Why store so much food? He can't eat it all in a year! Is this the mouse king?"

"Move all of them away, and distribute more to the people nearby."

Li Yunlong didn't care how much, let alone why he stored so much food, he waved his hand and directed the whole regiment of soldiers to start moving.

Anyway, not a single grain is left to the devil.

Seeing his secret granary being found and seeing the food he had worked so hard to get carried away, Mrs. Liu was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. He almost couldn't catch his breath. He coughed violently. :

"Hey hey..."

"Master Liu, it must have been hidden by your heartless sons. You must not know about it, so I will take it all away?"

"Should...should be, this is...cough cough...a group of unfilial sons..."

Before the traitor's son was gone, the expressionless Old Master Liu suddenly became uneasy to speak, and he coughed continuously, almost choking to death.

"Captain, the table is set up, and the folks from Jiazhuang have also gathered here."

Wang Gensheng came over:
"In addition, the devils in the blockhouse just tried to come out and were beaten back by us. The devils in Shou County must have been dispatched by this time. The political commissar told us to act quickly."

"Tell the soldiers carrying the food to hurry up, I'll chop this old thing first."

He weighed the big blade in his hand, and Li Yunlong looked at Mrs. Liu who was distressed about the food.

At this time, a man in his thirties rushed in from the outside, saw the girl's body in the corner, and rushed to cry: "Axiu, Axiu...".Afterwards, he rushed towards Mrs. Liu with a ferocious face, "I'm going to kill you."

Seeing this man, Old Master Liu's complexion changed drastically, and he didn't have time to feel sorry for his food, which was more important than his son, and ran to Li Yunlong: "Commander Li, help."

Li Yunlong restrained the man, patted the man's shoulder, then lifted the back of Mrs. Liu's neck with one hand, lifted him up like a piglet, shook the big blade in his hand, and said in a domineering tone:

"Brother, go out with me and kill this bully in front of all Jiazhuang people, and avenge your sister."

"it is good."

The man froze for a moment, nodded, and then fixed his eyes on Mrs. Liu.

"Leader Li, please forgive me. It's none of my business. It's all done by my housekeeper. It's all done by my sons. Don't care about my business!" Mrs. Liu panicked and begged for mercy.

"Hey hey..."

"Do you think I trust you, or the common people outside?"

Li Yunlong smiled coldly and responded with disdain.

Landlords are not all bad people, some of them are very good-hearted, they don’t collect much land rent, and even help the people in the same village during the famine. He has met many along the way, and the army has also accepted many enlightened landlords. Help, but, the old thing, hum.

Typical worst landlord.

At the entrance of Jiazhuang Village, on a temporary wooden frame, Zhao Gang was propagating the policies of the Eighth Route Army over and over again.

Under the stage, many people from Jia Village came, their expressions were fearful and expectant.

I was afraid because of the Eighth Route Army soldiers standing with guns on the side. People with guns are always scary, even if the guns are not pointed at them, after all, this is not a base area.

What they are looking forward to is the food that is being distributed in bags.

In this difficult and struggling era, food that is in the bag is the most reassuring.

The man in his thirties was volunteering to distribute the grain found in the cellar to everyone in Jiazhuang. It was because of this man's organization that so many ordinary people could be gathered in a short time.

A bunch of nonsense, useless...Looking at Zhao Gang who was preaching the truth, Li Yunlong curled his lips.

No matter how much you say, it is better to do it again.

Leader Li Da walked up to the stage and interrupted Zhao Gang's speech.

"I am Li Yunlong, head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"I came to Jiazhuang today for nothing else, to kill traitors and devils!"

With one hand, he threw Old Master Liu to the ground, then kicked and knelt on the ground, and with the other hand holding a big knife, he spoke loudly and fiercely:
"In the fish and meat town, those who bully the people and betray the country to the enemy, kill them!"

As soon as the words fell, the sword cut down.

A human head rolled and fell into the crowd...
Under the light of the fire, everyone in Jiazhuang stared blankly at the head on the ground. There was no sound for a while, and everyone seemed to be in disbelief.

Suddenly, a roar came: "Good kill!"

Suddenly, a burst of unison shouted:
"Good kill!"

"Good kill!"

The sentiment is exciting.

At this moment, another burst of gunfire erupted in the distance, and the village entrance illuminated by the searchlights of the gun tower was as bright as day, and a bright line of fire shot out from the muzzle of the gun tower's machine gun continuously.

And farther away, there were dense explosions, which were artillery companies blocking the devil reinforcements coming from Shou County.

Type [-] heavy machine gun! ····The line of fire caused Li Yunlong's pupils to shrink suddenly. He realized that the situation was not good, so he immediately picked up the knife and ran towards the blockhouse.
