The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 124 Japanese Spies
It must be said that the ancestors of the Cai family really laid a good foundation for future generations. The fortress is solid and there are long sections of connected city walls.
In addition, there are many wealthy families in the village, and each of them is extremely wealthy. If Cai Junheng had better means and abilities, how could the Cai family be inferior to Rong Shihong?
I'm afraid it won't be a problem to be on an equal footing with Feng Delin and others.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng felt excited.

First they walked around Daping Village. Jiang Cheng was a little thirsty, so Cai Yuanming took him to the south of the town. "There are several wells in the village, but the water from this well is the sweetest and best to drink... The water in my jar is also from here."

Apart from anything else, there was no pollution during the Republic of China period, and the well water could be drunk. When Jiang Cheng was a child in his rural hometown, he also drank the sweet old well water, and the impression has always been deep in his mind.

It was almost noon, and every household had already fetched water and went home to make firewood and cook. The crowd waiting in line at the well for water had long dispersed. From a distance, a man in gray cloth clothes was seen fiddling with the well rope.

Jiang Cheng had long been thirsty and his throat was smoking. In fact, he didn't take the man seriously at all;
But as soon as they got close, the man suddenly turned around, looked at him, and ran away!
This guilty act greatly aroused Jiang Cheng's vigilance:
He immediately pulled out the Browning and aimed it at his legs - after all, he had to leave him alive so he could interrogate him carefully.

However, this kid moved like a ghost. He dodged the three bullets that came one after another by dodging left and right, and ran directly into the village path.

"Chase!"

Jiang Cheng let out a low roar, and Cai Yuanming followed closely behind him, running and shouting to the village's joint defense team.

There were some curious villagers peeking around on the narrow dirt road, and some were even directing Jiang Cheng and his friends "where to run"!
There happened to be a member of a joint defense team nearby, who heard the gunshots and rushed over to help, screaming.

It took a lot of effort for everyone to corner this guy.

But this bastard was really ruthless. He actually took out a small iron thing from his shirt pocket and threw it at Jiang Cheng and the others.

Jiang Cheng, who had been walking through a lot of swords and sabers, reacted extremely quickly. He kicked the object into a nearby dry well.

Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion in the pit. Fire flew out from the wellhead and a large amount of sand and stone shrapnel hit the body, causing both pain and burning.

"Hold him down!"

Seeing that the guy was trying to escape by climbing over the wall in the chaos, Jiang Cheng rushed up first and shot him in the calf.

Blood and flesh spurted out from the horizontal wound, immediately staining the ground red. Several members of the joint defense team rushed over shouting and started beating and tying him up.

"Damn it, I need to live!"

The loud noise when the grenade exploded attracted many nearby villagers - they spontaneously waved farm tools such as fire hooks and blocked the surrounding area.

Jiang Cheng frowned and looked around: Even if this grandson had an accomplice, he must have escaped or blended into the crowd by now, and it would be extremely difficult to catch him again.

Looking at Cai Yuanming, whose face was covered in sweat and filled with shock and uneasiness, Jiang Cheng knew exactly what he was thinking: this guy who came from nowhere sneaked into the village to cause trouble and was carrying weapons!

"Take him back! Interrogate him carefully!"

Jiang Cheng's expression almost froze, "I also want to meet the members of the joint defense team on duty today..."

"Also, seal that well first!"

…………

In fact, Jiang Cheng knew it very well without asking in detail: they caught a Japanese spy who sneaked into Dapingzhuang today.

Although he was dressed like a beggar, the grenade he used was a Japanese melon grenade. He was also found with a Type 26 pistol, a map of Daping Village and nearby areas.
The markings were even more detailed than what Jiang Cheng learned in later generations.

Not to mention all the residents of the commercial street in Daping Village, even a well and a tree, even the pig sty and toilet of someone's house are clearly marked. It's not scary that the opponent is ferocious, but what's scary is that these ferocious opponents are also extremely meticulous and don't hesitate to spend a lot of time and energy to "know themselves and know the enemy"!
He originally planned to report the situation to Cai Yuanzong, but when he heard that Cai Yuanzong was seriously injured and had taken medicine and gone to sleep again, Jiang Cheng handed the spy over to Cai Yuanming for interrogation.

The second thief has many ways to punish people, so he should be able to find out a lot; he called the deputy head of the group, Cai Xiaofei, over.

Although the joint defense team is not officially part of the 2nd Regiment, it is actually under their management.

When Cai Xiaofei entered the room, he saw Jiang Cheng with a calm face, while the eight young men opposite him lowered their heads and shrank their feet like young girls, so scared that they dared not even breathe.

It was obvious that they had been severely scolded by Uncle Jiang. Cai Xiaofei glanced at their disheveled clothes and red eyes, and probably knew what had happened.

He walked forward carefully with a smile on his face, and the guy simply pretended to be stupid: "Mr. Jiang, you asked me to come..."

"These are all your soldiers, right?"

Jiang Cheng half raised his face and sneered, "Today, they were on duty during the day, but they didn't patrol properly and went to Cai Gou'er's house to gamble!"

As they said this, the members of the joint defense team wished they could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

But Jiang Cheng could clearly see that these guys were not convinced, but they did not dare to refute because he was the boss.

“This…this, hehe…”

Cai Xiaofei looked embarrassed. He thought for a moment before stepping forward and saying, "Recently, the acting group leader ordered that the gate of our manor be locked. No one is allowed to enter or leave the manor unless necessary. I always feel more secure here, so..."

"The mission of the joint defense team is to patrol the entire village for public security, but there is no rule that says you can gather together to gamble regardless of whether it is safe or not!"

"Just smell it, not only are they gambling, but they're all drinking, right?"

Hearing him talk nonsense, Jiang Cheng became even more unhappy, "Deputy Captain Cai, I want to ask you how to deal with these people?"

Cai Xiaofei bit his back teeth lightly, then half-raised himself and said carefully, "Mr. Jiang, please hand these over to me. I, I will take care of them myself!"

"What should we do? Should we drink three glasses of wine as punishment?"

Jiang Cheng put his hands on his hips and shouted coldly, "Just say it here!"

His face darkened, but Cai Xiaofei still answered: "According to the rules, joint defense team members who leave their posts without permission should be punished with ten blows with a military stick - but, but considering that they are first-time offenders, then,"

However, Jiang Cheng didn't intend to let him finish. After saying "Ten hits with the military stick", he immediately shouted: "Okay!"

"Someone, pick these guys up, drag them out and beat them up!"

The crowd then realized that he was serious, and they were so frightened that they jumped up and down and cried for mercy.

Cai Xiaofei rushed forward and begged for mercy, then turned back and shouted to the soldiers who were pulling him, "Stop!"
But those who rushed in were basically Cai family's personal soldiers. Needless to say, they were very loyal. They stepped forward and dragged away those guys before they could even beg for mercy.

"Master Jiang, are you doing this as a warning to the whole group?"
