Ligong Town was originally called Ligong Village. It is a large village with a radius of more than ten miles. There are nearly 200 permanent villagers alone, with a total population of more than 1,000.

Because there are many people, every festival, many people from nearby villages come here to change things. In the long run, this place becomes a market town.

On a small earth slope dozens of meters at the entrance of the town, a few days ago, the Japanese captured dozens of young and strong men to repair artillery towers on it. When it was almost a floor, Laiyuan City's order to retreat came. Although the Japanese did not want to return to the city, in order to save their lives, they gave up their strongholds and retreated to Laiyuan City.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops left, more than a thousand people in Ligong Town were still shrouded in the shadow of the Japanese rule.

When Li Zengbing was still a village chief here, he was the village chief. When he set up a town here, he bribed county officials and then became the town chief.

After the Japanese came, they often bullied their neighbors because they did everything they wanted. Once they lost the mayor's halo, the people around them could drown themselves, let alone the blood debts in their hands came to fight for themselves.

In order to preserve wealth and glory, the Japanese came to Li Zengbing and surrendered to him and bribed the commander of the Imperial Army of Laiyuan City and the Japanese army's prime minister stationed at the entrance of the town. Li Zengbing succeeded in becoming the mayor of Li Gong Town under the Japanese rule.

In order to strengthen Japan's rule over the local area, it was confirmed that Li Zengbing was loyal to the Imperial Army and held a large amount of blood debts in his hand. After he had no way out except to surrender to the Imperial Army, the Japanese garrison applied for a platoon of equipment from the county town to Li Zengbing, and asked Li Zengbing to set up a guard team to assist the garrison in managing the public security of Li Gong Town, help the Japanese collect materials, and oppress the people.

He finally continued to be re-elected as mayor, and he had a gun and a guard. Li Zengbing must have regained the money he bribed the Japanese from the people, so the people in Li Gong Town were in trouble.

When the Japanese built artillery towers and wanted to be strong, Li Zengbing directly asked each family in the town to pay a strong man and would give him money if he didn't pay.

The common people are not fools. Many people know that being a strong man for the Japanese not only has no income, but even their lives will be thrown in the artillery tower, so few people go to the yard to repair the artillery tower for the Japanese.

Finally, most villagers took money to replace people under the threat of Li Zengbing. As for those who had no money, whether they were willing or not, Li Zengbing directly ordered the guards in his hand to arrest people and then sent them to the artillery tower.

As expected, three people were forced to death by the Japanese after less than five days of repairing the artillery tower.

Fortunately, the Japanese received an order to withdraw the county town and released the strong men. Otherwise, there would be more people who were forced to death by the Japanese.

It can be said that Li Zengbing, who did everything in order to make money, did almost everything.

But because there is a gun and a guard in his hand, the people here have no choice but to endure it even if they hate him to the core.

When Yang Xiong, deputy company commander of the Second Company of the Independent Battalion, came here with a platoon to increase troops, because the other two squads went to a nearby village, Yang Xiong had only one squad at hand. Before he could reach the entrance of the village, Li Zengbing, who was supported by the Japanese, commanded the guards to rob Yang Xiong and repel Yang Xiong and injured a soldier.

After learning about Li Zengbing's situation from the people around him, Yang Xiong became angry.

Since he became the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese have never suffered such a big loss. In the end, a traitor could beat him and run away with his head in his arms.

"We must kill this Li Zengbing and eliminate the harm to the people of Li Gong Town!" Yang Xiong said with a murderous look on his face with a fist.

The deputy instructor who cooperated with Yang Xiong to recruit soldiers here suggested: "You can't kill it! Deputy Company Commander Yang is the best way to capture him. At that time, a public trial meeting will be held, and he will be shot in front of all the people in Li Gong Town. That will be a pleasure!"

Yang Xiong's eyes lit up and replied: "Just do it like this. Then don't use bullets, just use a big knife and cut off his head with one knife, so that he can't die."

Yang Xiong did not have any pressure to deal with more than 30 guards composed of gangsters and gangsters.

After finally getting dark, Yang Xiong took people to the entrance of the town.

The dozen guards who were left at the entrance of the town by Li Zengbing to prevent the Eighth Route Army from coming again could not see the soldiers at all. They actually sat around the campfire to eat meat and drink, and there was not even a warning.

There is no doubt that they regard their master, the Japanese, as a god, and believe that as long as the Japanese support them, no one dares to attack them.

"Wait for a while, let them eat and drink well, and then just take their weapons and see how arrogant they are!" Yang Xiong raised his hand to stop his subordinate who was trying to rush over and ordered!

Not long after, a snoring sound came to Yang Xiong's ears.

"These traitors are too arrogant. As long as you don't shoot, you don't need grenades. You can use the others. Please greet them well. Comrades, rush!" Yang Xiong, with a sneer on his face, was the first to rush out.

Although most of the guards were drunk, even if they poured a can of water on them now, they might not be able to wake up. But there were still several guards who were not good at drinking.

As soon as Yang Xiong rushed over, they shouted: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Yang Xiong was not polite and stuffed the barrel of the pistol into his mouth, and then replied under a pair of terrified eyes: "I am your Eighth Route Grandpa. If you dare to make another sound, I will blow your head directly."

These people are bullying good and afraid of evil. When faced with threats, they become timid and immediately act like begging for mercy.

The Eighth Route Army, who was following Yang Xiong, was also very quick to move. One person was responsible for a guard, and in a few minutes, all the dozen guards were tied into rice dumplings.

"Let's go to your town mayor's house!" Yang Xiong pointed a gun at a captain-like guard and ordered, then stuffed a grenade into the other party's belt and threatened.

"You should have heard of the power of the Japanese Guru's Melon Grenade. What's in your belt is. As long as I gently pull the iron ring, "Boom!", the Melon Grenade will explode and you will be blown into a corpse. So, if you meet an acquaintance later, you know more than me what you should say and what you shouldn't say!"

"Also, you don't have to be afraid. As long as you bring a dozen of us into the mayor's house, I promise not to kill you!"

The sweaty team leader quickly nodded and replied: "Please rest assured by the Eighth Route Commander. I know what to do. I don't want to die!"

Yang Xiong nodded and replied: "Okay, let's go! Go to your mayor's house!"

Because there was a guard at the entrance of the town, Li Zengbing, who had never been attacked, did not pay much attention to the escorts at home. Except for a guard standing at the door, which showed off his power, the other escorts were sleeping.

After all, the number of guards is limited. If they are not allowed to rest well, no one will take over at the entrance of the town tomorrow and continue to monitor the Eighth Route Army who was driven away by themselves.
