Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

41 Sneaking into the Traitor Mayor's House

In this era, after dark, people would lock their doors and rest.

What's more, this was the time when the Japanese invaders came, and the streets of such a big town were empty and quiet.

"We need to ask the common people."

Ye Qingshan spoke.

A moment later, Ye Qingshan and Black Bear chose a house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

After a while, a middle-aged man quietly opened the door.

At this time, Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong had already changed the Japanese skins in order not to disturb others.

"My fellow countryman, we are from the National Army and would like to ask you something.

Can you let us in?"

Black Bear said with a smile.

The middle-aged man was also startled. He looked at Ye Qingshan and the black bear, then ran out and looked both ways.

"Hurry, hurry in."

Only then did he push Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong into the yard.

"My friend, what are you afraid of? There are no devils outside."

Ye Qingshan said with a smile.

"Who said there are no devils? There are devils."

The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"Oh?

Are there devils in this town? We didn’t see any when we came in.”

"Of course you didn't notice.

They are all at the mayor’s house.”

Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong looked at each other and found that the information Hei Xiong had obtained before was correct.

As a local, this fellow obviously knows more.

"Sir, where is our team?

When will you call back?

These devils are beasts. They killed many people in the town a few days ago.

How are we going to live in the future?"

The middle-aged man saw that Ye Qingshan was of unusual status and complained.

“My fellow, don’t worry.

We will fight back sooner or later.

Now, I want to hear your detailed account of the incident with the devils in this town."

"it is good.

Come inside and talk."

Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong entered the main room, where a woman was feeding two children.

"Mother, take the child to eat over there."

The middle-aged man said.

The woman didn't say anything. She looked at Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong, then pulled the two children and pushed them aside.

Then, Ye Qingshan learned from the conversation between him and the middle-aged man that his surname was Yang and his name was Yang Jinshui.

In other words, more than two-thirds of the households in Yangjiaji have the surname Yang.

“Half a month ago, the nationalist army withdrew from the town.

A large group of Japanese invaders soon came to our town, arresting people and stealing food everywhere, causing harm to many people.

Then, our town mayor Yang Changshu, that bastard, helped the Japanese to do evil.

As soon as the National Army left, he defected to the Japanese.

Not only did he lead the Japanese to capture many wounded soldiers of the National Army, but he also helped the Japanese to detain prisoners.

They are simply national scum.”

Ye Qingshan didn't say anything and just listened quietly.

"and after?"

Black Bear asked.

"Later, the Japanese army evacuated our town.

Only a small group of devils were left to garrison in the town.

Then, a large number of Kuomintang prisoners of war were sent to our town every day.

Imprisoned in the mayor's compound.

Our mayor cooperated with the Japanese and guarded the prisoners of war.

Later, perhaps because of the intense fighting on the front line, more and more Japanese soldiers withdrew.

There were even fewer Japanese devils left in the town.

In order to make up for their shortage of manpower, the Japanese gave guns to the mayor and his lackeys.

When you came, did you see any Japanese in the town?

That’s because they all sleep in the mayor’s mansion now.

Every night, only a group of lackeys under our mayor would patrol the town every two hours."

Yang Jinshui's words aroused Ye Qingshan's great interest.

“You mean, the devils left in the town are all living in your mayor’s house.

Moreover, there are many of our prisoners held in your mayor's house?"

"Yes."

"Damn, you traitor dog.

We haven't even lost yet, and they dare to surrender to the Japanese.

I think they are tired of living.”

The black bear next to them was already extremely angry and roared.

"Brother, keep your voice down."

Yang Jinshui was very frightened and quickly asked Black Bear to keep his voice down.

Afterwards, Ye Qingshan wanted to ask again how many Japanese devils were in the house of their town mayor Yang Changshu.

How many soldiers with guns does that traitorous mayor have at his disposal?

But Yang Jinshui was just an ordinary citizen in the town. He only knew that the mayor had surrendered to the Japanese and that there were Kuomintang prisoners of war in the mayor's house.

As for the exact number, he had no way of knowing it.

"Black Bear, it looks like we need to catch a tongue and interrogate him."

Ye Qingshan looked at the black bear and said.

"Hey, Captain, let's go.

Just catch his tongue and ask him, and everything will be clear. "

Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong immediately left Yang Jinshui's house. Before leaving, Ye Qingshan left two cans of the Japanese canned meat for their family.

When Ye Qingshan came in just now, he saw Yang Jinshui's wife feeding their children pure water.

It was obvious that the Japanese had robbed the people in their town of their food, leaving them with no food to eat.

"thank you all,"

Seeing the two cans of meat left by Ye Qingshan, Yang Jinshui was also grateful.

"I'll lead you to our mayor's house."

Then, Yang Jinshui took the initiative to lead Ye Qingshan and the others.

After passing through the streets of the town, they soon arrived near a large house in the center of the town.

"Look, sirs.

That is our mayor's house.

There are lackeys guarding outside."

The three of them squatted at a corner. Yang Jinshui pointed to a house with a vermilion gate in front of them and said to Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong.

“What a magnificent house.”

Ye Qingshan sneered.

At the same time, he also noticed that there were two sentries with guns standing guard at the gate of Yang's mansion.

"Where did your mayor get the gun?"

Ye Qingshan asked in a low voice.

“When we first started the war with the Japanese, our mayor advocated the slogan of protecting the country and the people.

He asked his brother-in-law to organize a militia, and even used his own money to purchase a batch of guns.

When the Japanese arrived, he defected to them.

The Japs also gave him a batch of weapons.

There must be hundreds of his lackeys with guns."

“Okay, Old Yang.

We all know it, you can go home now."

Ye Qingshan couldn't let Yang Jinshui follow him in his next move, so he said to him.

"Commander Ye, please be careful."

Yang Jinshui had no choice but to bring Ye Qingshan and the others here.

He also knew that he could not help much and it would be dangerous to stay.

Also returned home quickly.

After Yang Jinshui left, Ye Qingshan waved to the black bear and said, "Let's go and find a place to climb in.

Tonight, let's explore this traitor's house."

After a while, Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong came to a wall behind the Yang Mansion.

The black bear squatted down and stretched out his hands to cushion his position, allowing Ye Qingshan to run up and then step on the black bear's hands to jump directly onto the wall of Yang's mansion.

Then, Ye Qingshan reached out and pulled the black bear up.

The two jumped into Yang's mansion.

When he got inside, Ye Qingshan discovered that the security in Yang Mansion was quite strict.

There were several militiamen standing guard everywhere inside.

Anyone who dares to surrender to the devil at this time is an absolute die-hard traitor.

Even, from what Yang Jinshui said before.

When the Japanese invaders first attacked Songhu, the town mayor, Yang Changshu, started planning to form a militia and purchase guns.

As soon as the Japanese arrived here, he surrendered immediately.

Ye Qingshan didn't believe that this guy didn't have it planned.

It is obvious that Yang Changshu has determined that the National Army cannot defend Shanghai.

He believed that this place would be ruled by the devils in the future, so he defected to the devils so early in order to gain status and benefits.

From this point of view, Ye Qingshan had to admit that the town mayor Yang Changshu was really a smart man.

Ye Qingshan and Black Bear were lurking in Yang's Mansion for more than half an hour.

Finally, they found an opportunity and captured a militiaman who was using the toilet.

Ye Qingshan and Black Bear worked together to easily subdue the militiaman and cover his mouth.

He was taken to a corner and interrogated.

“Whatever I ask, you answer.

If you dare to shout, I will send you to hell."

Ye Qingshan put the bayonet in his hand against the militiaman's neck and whispered threateningly.

"Uh-huh!"

The militia immediately nodded obediently.

Then, the black bear let go of the big hand that was covering the militiaman's mouth.

The militiaman was honest enough, he didn't dare to speak, and smiled and whispered: "Two heroes.

I'll tell you everything you ask.

Don’t kill me.”

"Spineless thing."

The black bear muttered a few words in his heart and stared at the other party fiercely.

Ye Qingshan then asked in a cold voice: "Are all the little devils in the town in your mayor's house?"

“Yes… yes.”

"how many people?"

"Thirty-two devils, led by a second lieutenant."

"What are they doing here?"

"There are several hundred Kuomintang prisoners of war imprisoned in our mayor's house.

Our town mayor is responsible for assisting these devils in guarding these nationalist prisoners of war."

The militia was so frightened that they told everything they knew.

"There really are our prisoners, being held here."

The black bear was nearby and was also very surprised.

If there really are Japanese devils and captured Kuomintang prisoners here, that would be good news for them.

"How many people are there in your town mayor's militia? How many guns are there?

What heavy weapons do the devils have? Tell us everything honestly."

Black Bear pressed the bayonet against the militiaman's neck and applied a little force, and blood immediately flowed down the bayonet.

The militiaman was so scared that he wet his pants on the spot.

"Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything.

Our mayor has a militia team consisting of eighty-seven people.

They were divided into three shifts every day, taking turns to assist the Japanese and guard the Kuomintang prisoners of war.

The heavy weapons on the Japs' side include one heavy machine gun and two Type 99 light machine guns."

boom!

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Ye Qingshan simply hit the militiaman on the back of the neck with his knife.

Knock him out.

“It seems that the Japs have already determined that this is their rear area.

In addition, their front line was attacking our position in Dachang Town.

It also left them with a stretched military force.

Therefore, they left only thirty-two soldiers behind to guard the prisoners.

This amount of troops is obviously not enough to guard hundreds of prisoners.

Let them simply accept the surrender of the local traitorous mayor, and with the help of the militia under the mayor, help the devils guard the prisoners. "
