Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 363: If the Japs dare to deduct my money, I will join the Eighth Route Army in the next second!
"The top five!"

"Six sixes!"

"..."

"Hahaha, Lao Liu, you lose. Drink, drink quickly!"

On the Dongzhang River, near the Dongzhang River Bridge connecting Ping'an County and Fu'an County, in the southern artillery tower of the Dongzhang River Bridge stronghold built by the Japanese.

A group of puppet soldiers were sitting in the stronghold drinking alcohol with nothing to do.

Because the southern artillery tower of the Dongzhanghe Bridge stronghold is located on the Fu'an County side, the troops stationed in the artillery tower and bunkers here are all puppet army troops.

All the Japanese soldiers stayed in the artillery tower of the north bank stronghold opposite the bridge.

After all, the Japanese are also afraid of death.

Three main regiments of the Eighth Route Army arrived in Fu'an County. The Japanese knew the combat effectiveness of these three regiments and that they were equipped with heavy siege weapons such as mountain cannons.

The fortifications such as artillery towers and bunkers built at the Dongzhanghe Bridge stronghold should have no problem blocking small-caliber mortars.

But if you want to resist large-caliber mountain artillery, that would be impossible.

With one shot from the mountain artillery, both the watchtower and the bunker would be blown down.

The Japanese knew this situation, so it was naturally impossible for them to stay in the dangerous artillery tower on the south bank.

Naturally, they entered the relatively safe artillery tower on the north bank and held their ground.

In this case, even if the Eighth Route Army wanted to attack the stronghold, they would first attack the south bank artillery tower. If they were unable to resist, the Japanese soldiers in the north bank artillery tower would be able to directly blow up the Dongzhang River Bridge after the south bank artillery tower was blown down by the Eighth Route Army, and then quickly retreat to the Zhangzhuang stronghold.

At the same time, after the Japanese learned about the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in Fu'an County, they realized that the artillery towers they had built around the entire Dongzhang River could not stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army at all.

So the Japanese gathered all the Japanese soldiers in other artillery towers into the stronghold so that they could retreat at any time.

As for the other artillery towers, they simply left some puppet soldiers to guard them.

The artillery tower and stronghold originally used to blockade the Eighth Route Army has now become a checkpoint.

Because neither the strongholds nor the artillery towers could stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

Since the attack of the Eighth Route Army could not be stopped, the original blockade function of the stronghold and the artillery tower was reduced to a reminder role.

Remind the Zhangzhuang stronghold behind that the Eighth Route Army is attacking the Dongzhanghe Bridge stronghold so that the troops in the Zhangzhuang stronghold can respond in time and prepare for defense.

After all, the fortifications at the Zhangzhuang stronghold are permanent ones, built with reinforced concrete and very solid.

The bunkers and artillery towers in the Zhangzhuang stronghold were able to completely block the mountain artillery equipped by the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the Japanese had failed to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold when they attacked it. After the fleeing Central Army entered the Zhangzhuang stronghold, the officers became afraid and chose to surrender directly.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the Japanese to break into the Zhangzhuang stronghold. They might have to dispatch heavy artillery to bomb it, or use bombers to attack the anti-aircraft guns in the stronghold with high-yield aerial bombs.

This is also because there is a more solid Zhangzhuang stronghold behind it.

Therefore, the Japanese would not take the Dongzhanghe Bridge stronghold seriously.

The Japanese themselves did not take the Dongzhanghe Bridge stronghold seriously, so it was even less likely that the puppet troops stationed on the south bank of the stronghold and in other artillery towers would take it seriously.

For example, these puppet troops are now located in the artillery tower on the south bank of the Dongzhanghe Bridge stronghold.

It wasn't time for dinner yet, but they started drinking in the artillery tower.

In addition to the puppet soldiers drinking in the artillery tower, the puppet soldiers in several nearby bunkers also gathered in the artillery tower.

Only a few unlucky puppet soldiers were sitting lazily in the trench outside the artillery tower, drinking the wine brought by the soldiers in the artillery tower and eating peanuts out of boredom.

There is no way. The Japanese soldiers on the north bank rarely come to the south bank.

However, the Japanese on the north bank could still observe the situation on the south bank from the artillery tower.

If the Japanese on the north bank found out that the puppet troops in the artillery tower on the south bank had lost even the basic sentry posts, they would definitely come and cause trouble for them.

Moreover, if everyone was drinking in the turret.

What if the Eighth Route Army arrives and no one notices them? They won’t even have time to raise the flag to surrender, and the Eighth Route Army will just fire at them, and they will die unjustly.

That’s right, the puppet soldiers in the artillery tower had already made plans.

If the Eighth Route Army did not come to attack the stronghold, then they would continue to maintain the status quo, drinking and playing cards.

If the Eighth Route Army came to attack the stronghold.

Then they would have to raise the white flag and surrender to the Eighth Route Army as soon as they saw them.

Otherwise, if the speed was too slow, the Eighth Route Army would have fired artillery fire, causing the artillery tower to collapse directly, and they would have died unjustly.

The Japanese were afraid of death, and these puppet soldiers were even more afraid of death.

"Boom~"

Old Liu, who was drinking, heard the thunder outside the artillery tower and subconsciously looked outside the artillery tower. He spoke to the one-eyed puppet army officer with an eyepatch who was smiling and asking him to drink.

"Damn it, why is it suddenly going to rain?

One-eyed dragon, I always feel like something is wrong. I always feel like the Eighth Route Army is coming to attack the artillery tower. Otherwise, don't drink anymore and just keep an eye on it first.

If the Eighth Route Army attacks us while we are still drinking, we will be in big trouble."

Old Liu looked through the firing hole of the turret toward the thick clouds outside, his face full of worry.

The one-eyed man listened to what Lao Liu said and spoke with disdain on his face.

"Lao Liu, if you can't drink it, then you can't drink it.

What the hell is he still making up excuses for?"

"That's right, what the hell, the Eighth Route Army is coming to attack our stronghold? Are you still on guard? What the hell are you on guard for? Old Liu, if you can't drink any more, just admit defeat.

It is normal to have difficulties as you get older, and brothers can understand that.

Brothers, do you think this is true? "

Another puppet army officer who was sitting next to Lao Liu at the square table picked up his wide-brimmed hat on the table, fanned himself with it, and spoke to Lao Liu.

"Hahaha, yes, Platoon Leader Liu, if you can't drink anymore, just admit defeat."

"That's right, it's normal to feel weak. I promise not to laugh at you. Hahaha~"

The other puppet soldiers who were drinking and playing finger-guessing games around them listened to the conversation and smiled at Lao Liu.

If Lao Liu can't do it after making so much noise, just admit it. There's no shame in admitting defeat.

Old Liu listened to the laughter around him and his face turned red.

He really couldn't finish the bowl of wine in front of him, so he made up an excuse and tried to renege on the debt.

"Hey, One-Eyed Dragon, Old Huang, what are you two talking about? Who the hell is out of it? I can still drink another three pounds!

When I was young, I could drink five kilograms of wine in one breath without taking a breath. I am the one who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

Although Lao Liu said that he couldn't drink anymore, who would be willing to admit that he couldn't do it?
Old Liu simply forced himself to maintain his expression and boasted to everyone how good his alcohol tolerance was in the past.

"Come on, Lao Liu, don't you know how much you can drink? You can fool others with this, but why are you trying to fool us?
Hurry up, either admit defeat and admit that you can't do it anymore, or just drink the wine!"

It was obvious that the people present did not buy Lao Liu's account. The one-eyed man was the first to refute Lao Liu's words and refilled Lao Liu's wine bowl with wine.

"Hiss, but the weather outside is a little weird today... One-eyed Dragon, do you want to send two more brothers out to keep an eye on it? Even if the Eighth Route Army doesn't come, it would be good to keep an eye on the Japanese.

If the Japanese come over and those people outside are drunk and don’t notice us, we will be in trouble.

And send two more brothers out, so that when the Eighth Route Army really attacks, we will have time to react."

Lao Huang, the puppet army officer who was fanning himself with his wide-brimmed hat, looked at the weather outside the artillery tower and found that this kind of weather was really suitable for an attack, and a hint of worry arose in his heart.

"I said, what's going on between you two?

Damn it, so what even if the Eighth Route Army attacks?
The Eighth Route Army is coming. It's impossible for them to blow up the artillery tower right away, right?
The Eighth Route Army has to make a statement, right?
We have also contacted the Eighth Route Army, and they know that we are not really working for the Japanese.

When the time comes, the Japanese... No, no, when the Eighth Route Army attacks us, look at what that is. "

The one-eyed man was obviously a little drunk, and his words were a little confusing.

Seeing that Lao Huang was also worried about the Eighth Route Army's attack, he raised his hand and pointed at a piece of white cloth spread on the ammunition box next to the shooting hole.

"See? The white flag is right there. If the Eighth Route Army really attacks us, I don't believe that the speed of the Eighth Route Army's artillery can be as fast as the speed of my raising the white flag.

Drink with confidence, there is also a white flag on the roof.

I promise that if the Eighth Route Army really wants to attack the stronghold, I can guarantee that the white flags I arranged will definitely be fired before the Eighth Route Army's artillery."

The one-eyed man pointed at the white flags next to several shooting holes, patted his chest and made assurances to several people.

He guaranteed that when the Eighth Route Army attacked the stronghold, the white flag on his side would definitely be fired before the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells.

I have to say that the one-eyed man really learned the essence of preparing for a rainy day.

The white flag was ready before the battle even started.

Just wait for the Eighth Route Army to attack the stronghold and then raise the white flag to facilitate quick surrender.

"What if the Japanese from the north come to check the sentry?"

Old Huang was still a little worried.

He was not originally a puppet army officer in this stronghold, but an officer in a gun tower below the stronghold. However, in order to avoid the same team of puppet soldiers staying in one place for a long time, the Japanese devils secretly defected to the Eighth Route Army.

Then we will catch them off guard.

Therefore, the Japanese often mobilized the puppet troops in the artillery towers everywhere and let them take turns to garrison the artillery towers.

Although the puppet soldiers who wanted to join the Eighth Route Army had already done so.

The rotation of guards is not very useful, except for the puppet troops coming from other places.

Because we were unfamiliar with the area and didn't know where the Eighth Route Army was, we had no way to contact them and there was no way we could join them.

However, as time went on, and the Eighth Route Army in Fu'an County and Ping'an County was very active, the newly arrived puppet troops would sooner or later come into contact with the Eighth Route Army.

It can only be said that this operation of the Japanese was somewhat useful in preventing the puppet army from contacting the Eighth Route Army.

But the usefulness is just that.

Something is better than nothing.

This is the situation Old Huang is in at the moment. Having just been transferred to the stronghold, he is still a little afraid and worried about the Japanese.

After all, although the Japanese lost to the Eighth Route Army, they were still the Japanese and did not become weaker.

It’s just that the Eighth Route Army has become stronger.

Listening to Lao Huang's concerns, the one-eyed man knew what Lao Huang was worried about, so he patted Lao Huang on the shoulder and spoke.

“There’s no need for Lao Huang to be afraid of those little devils.

Damn it, if the Japs hadn't given me so much money, and only paid me once every seven days, I would have taken my brothers and joined the Eighth Route Army long ago.

Who is still here guarding the stronghold and waiting to die?

The Japanese may not be unaware of what we are doing in this stronghold.

I bet the Japanese guessed what happened the last time Lao Liu contacted the Eighth Route Army in Fu'an County.

It’s just that the Japanese didn’t care that much.

After all, it is normal for the Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army in Fu'an County to have connections, and several artillery towers are almost open to the public.

There are also some detective teams of the Maintenance Association. To put it nicely, they were funded by the Japanese and were specifically used to catch the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, all those detective teams were actually rioters in disguise.

The chairmen of the maintenance associations embezzled the money, and handed the weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army soldiers. When the Japanese came to inspect, they would directly call over the Eighth Route Army soldiers, change their clothes and turn them into the detective team.

The Japanese must have seen through it, otherwise they wouldn't have never gone there again after the first time.

I guess the Japanese are now also worried that the Imperial Army in Fu'an County will be just like the Imperial Army in Shiquan County and some other counties nearby that were controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

Just turn the guns around and shoot the Japanese themselves.

So even if the Japanese knew the situation here, the most they could do was to curse us a few times.

I didn't dare say anything more.

They don’t even dare to deduct money.

As long as we don't openly take guns to join the Eighth Route Army, or openly talk to the Eighth Route Army in front of the Japanese, or talk about the Eighth Route Army.

Then the Japanese won’t care about these at all.

If the Japanese really dared to deduct money, I would take my people and join the Eighth Route Army the next second.

Damn it, you’re deducting my money? If it weren’t for the money, dozens of my brothers would have joined the Eighth Route Army long ago.

After all, my brothers are all locals, and some of them are from Ping'an County.

I heard from my brothers’ families that after the Eighth Route Army captured Ping’an County, the first thing they did was to confiscate the land of those traitors and then distribute the land to the landless people.

Those brothers' families were all given land.

If the Eighth Route Army hadn't sent someone to tell us to stay in the Imperial Army to make it easier for the Eighth Route Army to speak.

Those brothers had already run away and joined the Eighth Route Army."
