Chapter Nine, Striking it Rich
Subsequently, the group became increasingly cautious
Thanks to Master Ba for sparing my life
Wang Ye did not rush to settle accounts until gunfire came from the direction of the military camp outside the town, at which point he inquired, "Who is Wan Shunping?"
Goodness, it turns out Wang Ye just caught up with and took down that dog, isn't that just too impressive? He actually ran faster than the dog? Is he even human?
More than a dozen puppet army officers were moved to tears
Secretary Xiao Duan led a row of soldiers forward and discovered a large yellow dog lying motionless by the roadside
"Don't move!" As Wang Ye entered the room, he immediately took a favorable position and shouted, "Raise your hands!"
Outside the courtyard gate, there were two puppet soldiers on guard. Upon seeing Wang Ye, they immediately raised their guns and shouted, "Halt! Who goes there?"
The remaining dozen or so puppet army officers did not dare to move recklessly and obediently surrendered their handguns
Wang Ye also said stiffly: "I want to see Captain Wan Shunping."
A dozen or so puppet army officers repeatedly bowed their heads, wishing they could split their hearts to express their determination
The troops are divided into two routes
The combination of the rifle and the light machine gun ammunition totals as many as 30,000 rounds
Damn it, this time I was truly careless. If I had known the harvest would be so great, I would have set aside my pride and pried his share out of Li Yunlong's mouth.
The other three enemies at the same table were also stabbed to death by the accompanying soldiers with bayonets
Just now, Wan Jia has finished copying over here, and Kong Jie has also completed the work over there
It was an ancient short gun.
After a full few minutes, Wang Ye finally snorted coldly and said: "Very well, considering that you are merely acting on orders, I shall spare your lives for the time being!"
Thank you, Master Ba
A dozen or so soldiers promptly pulled back their gun bolts
A soldier instinctively reached for his gun, but before his hand could even touch the holster at his waist, Wang Ye had already struck him on the back of the head with the butt of his pistol.
Ah? Wan Shunping immediately turned around and attempted to flee
But one cannot fire a gun, so the only solution is to use a bayonet to deal with this dog
Wang Ye continued to walk, cursing in Japanese: "Baka, I am the envoy of General Shinozuka Yoshio, the commander of the First Army of the Greater Japanese Empire stationed in Shanxi. I want to see your Battalion Commander Wan."
As soon as the words were spoken, both individuals simultaneously felt a hard object pressing against their backs
One box contains one thousand rounds, and there are a total of thirty boxes, making it easy to count
Wang Ye nodded: "Then spare them a life"
The battle quickly came to an end, with the Independent Regiment's First Battalion annihilating the enemy cavalry battalion at the cost of only one minor injury.
A pseudo-military officer sitting in the main seat cautiously stood up and said with a flattering expression: "Eighth Master, it is I."
We dare not, we do not dare!
The Wan family has indeed amassed a considerable fortune, with over 50,000 taels of silver alone, as well as gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. In addition, there are more than 100,000 jin of grain.
The injured soldier was not wounded by the puppet army, but rather fell while charging too quickly
We must listen to Master Ba's words
More than 360 puppet soldiers were captured, along with over 360 warhorses and a complete set of equipment, nine imitation Czech light machine guns, more than 300 cavalry rifles, and over 300 sabers, all of which were seized
The camp commander of the puppet army, Wan Shunping, is a local from Wanjia Town
Another false army said: "Come to find our company commander"
His father is the local traitor, Wan Sheng Kui
In the next moment, Wang Ye kicked open the door and rushed in
Secretary Xiao Duan also drew his weapon
However, if they continue to bark incessantly, it may alert the enemy troops
A cold voice simultaneously rang out: "Don't make a sound, or I will kill you all!"
After a moment, Wang Ye returned and gestured to the crowd
The Eighth Route Army charged into the military camp in a single assault
The enemy was struck on the head, and brain matter splattered out.
The two traitorous soldiers shivered in fear, only able to obediently raise their hands before being disarmed by others
Kong Jie said irritably, "Are you so pleased just because you've confiscated this little bit of supplies?"
Spare me! Eighth Master, spare me, we are all innocent
Secretary Xiao Duan guided the way while introducing the situation to Wang Ye
But one thing is certain, this is a Japanese person
After slightly discerning the direction, Wang Ye led a dozen soldiers straight into the backyard
"Over fifty thousand silver dollars and over one hundred thousand catties of grain were taken? Good heavens!"
The attack on the camp of the puppet army's cavalry battalion was even smoother than anticipated
Yes. The secretary of the small section said with hatred, "This is a damn traitor, who, in order to please the Japanese, does not hesitate to take deadly action against the fellow villagers of Wanjia Town"
Then, he took off his jacket and military cap, put on a white shirt, and strode towards the courtyard gate
Wang Ye then gave his rifle to Secretary Xiao Duan
Wang Ye nodded and said, "Alright, I understand."
Not to mention the more than 50,000 current dollars
In the darkness, the soldiers of the first company of the first battalion of the independent regiment only felt a flash before their eyes, and Wang Ye had already dashed forward. Moments later, they heard a sound, and the barking of the dog abruptly ceased
After Wang Ye went around the screen wall, he waited for a moment, and then more than a dozen soldiers quickly followed.
A sound of "puff" was heard
Kong Jie lamented to the heavens, why do you not send down a bolt of lightning to strike down Li Yunlong
"Team leader, the supplies are not limited to just this amount," the company commander chuckled and continued, "The platoon leader just sent someone over, saying that the harvest from the Wanjia Courtyard is also quite substantial"
Secretary Xiao Duan nodded at Wang Ye: This is the place
Just a few barks from a dog, there shouldn't be any major issues
The remaining dozen or so squad leaders were so frightened that they quickly knelt down on the ground
"Everyone, tighten up and clean the battlefield." With a command from the company commander, he added, "Colonel, this time our independent regiment has truly struck it rich, haha."
The sudden turn of events left the puppet soldiers and the Japanese in the room completely bewildered
The two pseudo-soldiers bowed and said: "Your Excellency, who are you looking for?"
But now, it is too late to say anything
In the midst of conversation, we have already arrived at the northern entrance of the town
Wang Ye let out a muffled grunt and strode directly through the main gate, his figure swaying and disappearing behind the screen wall
Also seized over 100,000 pounds of grain
Wang Ye waved his hand to signal
Wang Ye led a platoon directly towards the Wanjia Courtyard
This time, their independent regiment has truly struck it rich, becoming local tycoons!
"Do not move! Surrender your weapons and you will not be harmed! Raise your hands!" A dozen soldiers surged in behind.
Let us speak of this year's autumn grain
In this single statement, Wan Shunping and his son have already been sentenced to death
More than a dozen puppet army officers trembled in fear, utterly terrified
Two sentinels of the pseudo-army looked at each other in confusion, unable to understand a word.
However, Wan Shunping mostly resides in the military camp
Did you not hear what he said
Look at your level of achievement
After a pause, Wang Ye continued: "You all listen carefully, if you dare to assist the tyrant and harm your fellow countrymen in the future, today’s Wan Shunping will be your example!"
Let us quickly use horses for transportation
Wang Ye and the accompanying soldiers suddenly changed their expressions
Wang Ye abruptly waved his hand behind him, and the more than forty soldiers accompanying him immediately scattered, surrounding the entire courtyard.
After walking a short distance, everyone arrived in front of a large courtyard
The result, however, startled a guard dog on the street.
All the officers at the company and platoon levels are not at home, and the ammunition is locked in the warehouse by the enemy responsible for monitoring. When the independent regiment's first battalion launched the attack, the puppet troops were still deep in their dreams.
"Are you Wan Shunping?" Wang Ye nodded and then said, "Now I announce a decision: Wan Shunping, the commander of the Eighth Mixed Brigade Cavalry Battalion of the puppet army, because you have aided the oppressors and committed numerous atrocities, today on behalf of the more than 10,000 elders of Wanjia Town, I hereby sentence you to death, to be executed immediately"
I absolutely cannot harm my fellow countrymen, not in the slightest
The dog immediately growled upon hearing the noise
In the dim light filtering through the distant streetlamp, a pool of blood can be faintly seen beneath the dog.
What? Now Kong Jie feels even more heartbroken
Wang Yedao: "So, does Wan Shunping take his job quite seriously?"
Watching Wang Ye's figure disappear, a puppet soldier wondered: "What is a Japanese person doing in Wanjia Town at this late hour?"
The mortally wounded enemy did not utter a sound, collapsing to the ground.
Looking at the neatly stacked ammunition boxes, Kong Jie suddenly felt a twinge of regret
However, with a sharp shout from Wang Ye, they were startled and shivered violently.
In the back courtyard, the upper room was brightly lit, and through the window, one could hear the sounds of games and commands, indicating that the puppet army officers and the Japanese were in high spirits from drinking
This time, all my strength was used
The several company commanders and platoon leaders below are not too bad. "Secretary Xiao Duan shook his head and said, "They have basically not committed any evil; even if they have, it was under the orders of Wan Shunping. They were merely executing orders.
At that moment, Kong Jie said gloomily, "Company Commander, make sure to clean up the battlefield."
What delighted Kong Jie even more was the stockpiled ammunition in the warehouse
Wang Ye remained silent, merely pacing back and forth with a Southern-style pistol in hand
He also conveniently killed Wan Shengkui
Wang Ye raised his hand and fired a single shot, killing on the spot
It is all the families of Wan who are forcing everyone to pay
"Oh, you want to see our company commander?" The two sentinels of the puppet army quickly stepped aside, "Please, go in."
Wang Ye ordered to tie up these puppet army officers and before leaving, he also ransacked Wan Shunping's home
Wang Ye asked: "What about the other puppet army officers? Do they carry blood debts on their shoulders?"
