Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2622: A great harvest in Fuyang Town!

When gunshots were heard in Fuyang Town, the first thing the Japanese in the bank did was to lock the courtyard door with a bolt weighing dozens of kilograms, and then put all the heavy objects that could be moved behind the door and wait for reinforcements.

Each of them knew the value of this silver bank. If an enemy entered the city, they would definitely attack the silver bank unless they did not know about it.

The air in the yard was filled with an extremely tense atmosphere. The Japanese soldiers huddled together, holding various weapons in their hands.

Some were holding rifles, some were holding swords, and some were holding brooms.

Their hearts were pounding like the beating of war drums.

However, at this moment, a rapid knock on the door sounded, like thunder in the dead silence, which made the nerves of all the Japanese in the yard tense to the extreme.

The Japs looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. Who would come to them at such a time?

But the Japanese boss of the bank still tried to ask: "Who? Who is outside?"

"It's me, the Maintenance Chairman, and I need to report an emergency to the Imperial Army!"

The voice of the maintenance chairman came from outside the door.

The boss of the Japanese bank knows the chairman of the maintenance association, and the two have a good relationship.

However, the boss of the Japanese bank was very nervous at this time, and he didn't trust even the acquaintances.

He asked back, "What emergency?"

The chairman of the maintenance association said quickly: "There were rebels who sneaked into the city. I led my men to eliminate them all. I came to report to the imperial army."

The chairman of the maintenance committee knew that the Japanese were suspicious by nature, so he kept speaking at a steady pace and used a normal tone when reporting to the Japanese in the yard.

The owner of the Japanese bank inside the door was skeptical, but finally decided to open the door and take a look. After all, he knew that the chairman of the maintenance association was a spineless person who was afraid of death, and he would not dare to lie to him.

After a while, the sacks, broken furniture and other items blocking the main entrance were moved away, and the courtyard gate was slowly opening.

But the Japanese only opened the door a crack, and it was a Japanese ronin from the silver bank who looked out through the crack.

Outside the door, there was no one except the maintenance chairman who was sweating profusely and wiping his face with a handkerchief.

The Japanese then relaxed, and after saying a few words to the Japanese bank owner behind him, he took off the chain on the door bolt and opened the gate.

But at this moment, just when the Japanese ronin was slowly opening the gate, the gate was kicked open with a bang by a huge force.

The Japanese soldier flew out like a ball.

The first person to break into the door was Ma Shanpao. Without saying a word, he started firing at the Japanese in the yard.

The Japanese soldiers in the yard were caught off guard by this sudden attack, and some were shot dead on the spot before they could even react. Others turned around and tried to escape, but were instantly pierced through the body by the bullets that followed.

The bank owner wanted to hide behind the door, thinking he could escape by luck, but unexpectedly a stray bullet penetrated his fat body.

He screamed, covered the wound with his hands, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground weakly, his body shaking violently and howling like a pig being slaughtered.

After a while, the bodies of the Japanese soldiers lay scattered on the ground, and only the bank owner was still shouting.

Ma Shanpao shouted, "Stop yelling, or I'll kill you!"

The Japanese bank owner looked aggrieved and bit his lips to endure the pain.

Ma Shanpao then asked: "Where is the money in the bank? If you tell the truth, you may still be able to survive. Otherwise, if you are stubborn, you will be shot." The Japanese bank owner was very afraid of death and quickly said in Chinese: "I want to live, I want to live."

But at this moment, the face of the maintenance chairman next to him changed color, because if the Japanese bank owner was alive, then he would be dead.

But now, he was at the mercy of others and he dared not say anything. He could only follow Ma Shanpao cautiously.

The Japanese bank owner covered his stomach while taking Ma Shanpao to the bank's vault to withdraw money.

There is a vault in the basement of the bank, which is about 20 square meters.

On the shelves on both sides, there were large bundles of Japanese military notes totaling 20,000 yuan, less than 3,000 ocean dollars, and 15 gold bars. This was actually all the money in the entire bank.

The bank owner explained that, firstly, Fuyang Town was too small, and secondly, it was just for the convenience of distributing salaries to the imperial army, so this was the only money in the entire bank.

Although Ma Shanpao felt that something was missing, he felt relieved when he thought about this small town.

Ma Shanpao ordered that all the money be taken away, including the Japanese military notes.

The soldiers were very happy. After all, it was several thousand dollars, enough to pay the salaries of their entire team.

At the same time, I also admire the captain very much, he really cares about them.

Ma Shanpao led his men out of the bank, but at this moment, they heard a scream coming from inside the Japanese bank.

Ma Shanpao turned around in surprise, only to see the chairman of the maintenance association coming out of the basement with a smile on his face. He said with a smile on his face: "In order to show my loyalty to the Anti-Japanese League, I killed that devil. This is enough to prove that I am not a traitor, right?"

But the chairman of the maintenance association was thinking, "The Anti-Japanese United Army broke into the city, and the bank was robbed. No one knows that I was the one who killed them! Humph!"

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Ma Shanpao rolled his eyes, patted the chairman of the maintenance association on the shoulder and said, "Since the chairman supports the Anti-Japanese United Army so much, and the Anti-Japanese United Army is in need of military pay, would you like to express your support?"

As he spoke, Ma Shanpao's grip couldn't help but increase in intensity.

Chairman Wei's body shuddered. How could he not know what the other party meant? He just wanted money? But could he not give it? Of course not. Now he was a good comrade who supported the war of resistance and endured hardships. How could he not show his gratitude at this time?

So the chairman of the maintenance association quickly smiled and said, "Of course, of course, I will give it my all."

At this point, the chairman of the maintenance association felt heartbroken, then he took Ma Shanpao and others back to his home and opened his own small treasury.

This old fellow had not only been in business for many years, but also embezzled a lot of money after becoming the chairman of the maintenance association. It was even more money than the Japanese silver bank. He had eight thousand dollars alone, forty gold bars, and countless antique calligraphy and paintings.

But what made Ma Shanpao most happy was that two Browning pistols, both brand new, were found in the vault.

The chairman of the maintenance association hesitated to speak because he bought it for self-defense, it was brand new and had never been used once.

"Sir, you have to leave me some money, otherwise my business will have no working capital."

The chairman of the maintenance association gritted his teeth and spoke.

But does he really have no liquidity? That's a joke.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and this old guy is the same. What's more, he also has a casino in Fuyang Town, which brings in a lot of income every day.

So he spoke up at this time, just to avoid some losses and make some losses count!
