Chapter 115: Liu Baochang, the Devil's Dog
Changyu Valley, Liujiaping.
Changyugou, the overall terrain is a long canyon, with more than a dozen villages scattered on both sides of the canyon.
In Changyu Valley, the Liu family is the richest.
Liujiaping is located in the middle of the canyon and is the only large flat land in the mountain valley that stretches for more than ten miles.
Most of the villagers living here have the surname Liu.
Liu Baochang of Liujiaping is a prominent figure in the surrounding villages.
He has more than a hundred guards under his command.
In the morning, the open space in front of Liujiaping Village was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening. Liu, the village chief, and hundreds of his guards were anxiously and nervously waiting.
Half an hour later, a Japanese army of about 160 to 170 people appeared at the entrance of the village.
Led by several traitors, the Japanese soldiers slowly walked up to Captain Liu.
"Liu Baochang, this is the one I mentioned to you, the commander of the 109th Regiment of the 136th Division of the Locust Army, Colonel Okada."
After hearing the traitor's introduction, Captain Liu quickly forced a smile on his face.
He had a big belly and came to Masahide Okada at a trot, taking two steps at a time.
"Colonel Okada, welcome, welcome. It is an honor for me and the entire Liujiaping to have you here. We are all so proud of this day..."
When the Japanese regiment commander Masahide Okada saw Liu Baochang's respectful look of bowing and nodding, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey, Liu Sang, you don't have to be so polite. There's an old saying in your country, 'Those who work hard are heroes.' Liu Sang, you are a real hero."
"You are so kind, Madam, so kind! Please follow me. I have prepared a sumptuous banquet at home, waiting to honor you."
"Liu Sang, lead the way and do the work."
"Yes, Taijun."
This Japanese army followed Captain Liu and marched into Liujiaping in a swagger.
They are the remnants of the Japanese 136th Regiment that Zheng Kaixuan has always wanted to eliminate.
If it were a few days ago, Masahide Okada would never have dared to come to Liujiaping so brazenly.
There are one or two hundred guns in Liujiaping. The total population of the village is nearly two thousand people, making it the largest village in the area.
Masahide Okada has been having a pretty rough time recently. Although they have gathered some thugs some time ago, they didn't dare to be too arrogant.
Ever since they heard that the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment led by Kong Jie and the Fourth Battalion of the New First Regiment led by Zheng Kaixuan had crippled the Sakata Regiment in the Heiyunkou area, they had been frightened and lived in a state of panic all day long, and dared not show up.
Fearing that Zheng Kaixuan and Kong Jie would discover them, they brought people to Changyu Valley.
During this period, the Japanese soldiers did not even dare to wear military uniforms or show their true faces. They hid in some remote corners and sent out some recruited traitors to secretly monitor the important intersections in the Changyu Valley area.
If he discovered that a large force of the Eighth Route Army was approaching, Okada Masahide would flee into the mountains at any time.
But just last night, Masahide Okada suddenly became bold.
Just last night, the Japanese under Okada repaired their army radio. Using the radio, Okada Masahide contacted the Japanese 109th Division.
We learned from the division command post that two entire regiments of Japanese soldiers, the 109th Regiment of the 134th Division and the Matsui Regiment of the th Brigade, are currently moving towards this area.
They have two main tasks.
The first is to rescue Okada Masahide, and the second is to deal with Zheng Kaixuan and Kong Jie's independent regiment in the Heiyunkou Weizhuang area.
In addition, he received a message.
Just a while ago, a large group of Eighth Route Army troops left Heiyunkou, suspected to be the independent regiment led by Kong Jie.
Masahide Okada was immediately overjoyed and became bolder.
"The New First Regiment's Fourth Battalion, huh! How dare Zheng Kaixuan take on two regiments of the Locust Army with just a battalion? What a joke! That's simply impossible."
Okada Masahide felt that Zheng Kaixuan might have been scared to death and ran away with his men.
In that case, what else does he have to worry about?
During this period, Okada had had enough of the days of hiding and living like a rat, so he decided to attack Liujiaping, the richest and most powerful village in the entire Changyu Valley area.
He sent two traitors to issue an ultimatum to Chief Liu.
Liu Baochang's original name was Liu Dahuang. He pretended to be righteous on weekdays, but in fact he was a person who took advantage of the people in the village and did not do any good things.
When he heard that the Japanese colonel had sent someone to look for him, Liu Baozhang was so frightened that his legs went weak. Without saying anything, he immediately expressed his willingness to surrender to the Japanese with all his guards.
So the scene that happened at the entrance of Liujiaping Village in the morning happened, where Captain Liu beat drums and gongs to welcome the Japanese invaders into the village.
"Madam, are you satisfied with the food and wine?"
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers ate, drank and took things in the large courtyard of Liu Baochang's house and had a full meal.
Yanagi Yasunaga bent down and walked cautiously to Okada Masahide with a smile on his face.
"Yoshi, I'm very satisfied, Liu Sang, you're very good."
"Liu Sang, in a few days, when the main force of the Locust Army arrives, I will appoint you as the head of the Imperial Army Security Corps and expand the troops under your command to more than a thousand people."
"By then, not only in this small Changyu Valley, but also in the entire Xiyang County, you, Liu Sang, will be a well-known figure."
Masahide Okada crossed his legs and picked his teeth with a toothpick.
While picking his teeth and burping, he didn't forget to paint a big picture for Captain Liu.
"Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."
Okada's words made Yanagi Yasunaga very happy.
He nodded and bowed hurriedly, showing his loyalty to the Japanese like a pug.
"Please go and rest, Madam. I have already arranged a place for you to stay. If you have any other requests, please let me know."
At this moment, a Japanese soldier next to Okada leaned over and whispered something in Okada's ear.
The two small mustaches on Okada's mouth curled up slightly, and a lewd smile appeared in his eyes.
"Liu Sang, go find some beautiful girls right away and have them come to reward the locust soldiers. If this is done well, I guarantee you'll have a good life and a promotion and a lot of money."
"Hey! I'll do it right away."
Liu Baochang imitated the Japanese soldiers and put his feet together, kicked his right heel with the sole of his left foot, saluted Okada Masahide crookedly, then turned around and rushed out with dozens of guards and lackeys.
"Quick! Find women for the locust army immediately. Go door to door and capture them! Bring all the girls and wives home to me!"
These guards were originally hooligans. Before the Japanese invaders came, they acted more restrained and did not dare to act so blatantly.
Now that they had the support of the Japanese, these idiots immediately became arrogant, showing their ugly faces and becoming unscrupulous.
For a moment, the entire Liujiaping village was filled with wailing and cursing.
At this moment, Zheng Kaixuan, with a team of more than 20 sharp knife soldiers, had quietly sneaked into Liujiaping in batches.
