On the night of March 12th, 1940, Zhang Dabiao and his men surrounded a house three miles away from Yangquan County's train station.
Generally speaking, a place with developed transportation would definitely have a developed economy. At the same time, there would be all kinds of dirty things attached to this economy.
Yangquan was an important station of the Zhengtai railway. The products of several surrounding counties passed through here. The logistics and transportation brought better employment. The life of the people here was much better than that of the farmers in the mountains.
Correspondingly, once you have money, you have to spend it. And here, the biggest expense was in the form of drugs!
In order to numb the consciousness of the Chinese people, the Japanese weakened their bodies and reduced the pressure on their rule. At the same time, in order to raise the funds needed for the war, they chose to trade in drugs!
Around the important cities and strongholds occupied by the Japanese army, there were publicly opened smoking halls. In the northeast, in Chahar, and in Hopei, the Kwantung Army and the North China army forced farmers to plant and sometimes even encouraged farmers to pay taxes with the drug.
In the Japanese intelligence agency, there was nothing but cash in the safe except for the drugs. Once they ran out of cash, they would sell the drugs to the Chinese gangs that they worked with, and then use the money they earned to carry out the invasion.
Zhang Dabiao had brought his men here today to destroy this drug den!
"We agreed!" Qiao Guoqiang held the shotgun and said," I want half of the gold bars, antiques and porcelain that I like are mine, and the rest are all yours!”
"Alright!" Zhang Dabiao whispered," But you have to promise me that you'll bring me a sniper rifle with binoculars next time!”
"No problem, I will definitely bring it to you this year!”
Zhang Dabiao looked at the thugs who were coming and going outside the opiate house and waved his hand behind him.”
Monk Wei raised the " big black eagle " that Qiao Guoqiang had given him, looked at the wind direction, and pulled the trigger!
" Eh!" The thug with the gun was shot in the neck and fell against the wall.
The other thug beside him saw that he had fallen, but before he could scream, Qiao Guoqiang's pistol shot him. Puff!" Two shots!
"Charge!" Zhang Dabiao led his men to attack head-on.”"Bang!" Two shots had killed two puppet soldiers who smoked opiates.
"Eight Paths is here!" A puppet battalion commander broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had been a soldier for many years and immediately decided to run!
"Through the back door!"
"Bang!" The back door was kicked open, and Qiao Guoqiang and Monk Wei rushed in with a platoon, coincidentally bumping into the fleeing puppet battalion commander.
"Bang!" The shot hit the opponent's right hand that was holding the gun.”
"Grandpa, please spare my life!" "Grandpa, please spare my life!"
"It seems!" Seven told the soldiers to keep an eye on the traitor while he followed Qiao Guoqiang into the room.
"Don't move!" Qiao Guoqiang looked at a guy wearing a melon skin hat and the shotgun in his hand.”The bullet left a hole the size of a melon in his chest.
" Damn it, you still want to run?!" He opened the box in the other party's hand. There were eight small yellow croakers and the rest were all silver dollars. There were about ten packets.
"F * ck, he died just like that?" The monk kicked the owner of the tobacco shop and spat,"You're lucky!"”
"Qiang Zi, Tyrant!" Zhang Dabiao walked over with a big knife." How are you guys?”
"It's fine, we just caught a puppet battalion commander!”
"What a coincidence!" Zhang Dabiao said," I've caught a guild leader!”
"Take it back," Qiao Guoqiang said."This is our hostage!"”
Halfway there, the battalion commander's orderly was released. Qiao Guoqiang wrote two letters in traditional Chinese characters with him.
"If you want your son to live, prepare 20 stones of food, 1000 cash, 100 grenades/1000 bullets! Otherwise, you'll have to wait for your corpse to be collected!"
Two letters, one to the home of the puppet battalion commander, one to the home of the chairman of the maintenance team.
Three days later, the ransom money was delivered to the puppet battalion commander's home. The guild leader's family refused to pay and was even prepared to invite the Japanese to save them!
"Motherf * cker!" Qiao Guoqiang patted the chairman's face and said," It seems like your son wants you to die so that he can take charge of his own family!" To be able to do this, your net worth is not that small. Now that the price has increased, I want two large yellow croakers!”
"No, my family really doesn't have that much money!”The guild leader cried.
"You want money, you don't want your life!" Qiao Guoqiang cut off his index finger and threw it to the puppet battalion commander along with a jade ring.”
"Tell his son that the ammunition will remain unchanged, the food will be doubled, and the ocean will be exchanged for 10 large yellow croakers! Otherwise, I'll kill this traitor first and then destroy his entire family!”
That night, Zhao Gang was indignant about Qiao Guoqiang cutting off the traitor's finger, saying that he was abusing the captive.
"Do you want me to feed him well?”Qiao Guoqiang sneered," I don't like you. You better hold it in!"”
"You!"
"Alright, alright!" Li Yunlong advised," Old Zhao, he's just a traitor. Why do you have to fight with our brothers?!" Brother Qiao is our God of Fortune, we can't offend him! That traitor was so evil that he deserved to be beheaded. Chopping off one of his fingers is also to let his son see our determination!”
"Some people can't be spoiled! If you get used to it, it'll be bad!"
He had raised the guild leader for four to five days and even used gauze to bandage his wounds. In the end, the investigator sent news that the other party was a bastard who ate a rock and was determined not to take his father's life!
"Damn it!"
Another day later, Kong Jie brought a battalion and Qiao Guoqiang to the town. Kong Jie's men were lying in ambush outside the town while Qiao Guoqiang rode his bicycle into the traitor's house.
"These eight paths are really arrogant!”Qiao Guoqiang, who was disguised as a Japanese, slapped the table and said. "Huang Sang is a friend of the Imperial Army of Japan. We won't sit by and do nothing.”
"Yangquan!"
"Hey, hey!" The traitor, Huang Baiming, nodded and bowed." Taijun is wise. My father is old. Let him go home to recuperate." Oh my, growing up here, I can also serve the imperial army.”
Then, he pushed a box to Qiao Guoqiang.
"Huh?" Qiao Guoqiang opened the box and saw three yellow croakers inside.
"Yosh!" Qiao Guoqiang nodded with satisfaction and put the box aside." Huang Sang, since you're willing to give me three gold bars, why don't you use 20 gold bars to redeem your father?" he asked.”
"If the gold bars are given to Eight Paths, they will grow stronger. This is a huge disadvantage for the Great East Asia Holy War!”Huang Baiming said with a fawning smile," Sir Nobi, you have been running around for my father's matters. I am very touched. Please accept this small reward." When I become the guild leader, I will give you a gift!”
"Alright then!" Qiao Guoqiang clapped his hands.”"But…" Qiao Guoqiang's tone changed."Yours."
His father became the chairman because of his prestige and ability here. Can you guarantee that your ability is enough to maintain the situation here?”
"Don't worry, Taijun!" Huang Baiming said," My father became the president because of the guards at home and the guns in his hands! Now that these guards have been subdued by me, those poor bastards can't cause any waves.”
"Saaka!" Qiao Guoqiang nodded." Then, gather your guards and let me inspect them!"”
"Hi! I'll get them to gather now!"
"Hurry up and gather. Let the matriarch see our security team!”Huang Baiming ordered his lackeys to gather in the courtyard.
Looking at the 14 guards standing in the yard, Qiao Guoqiang sneered in disdain.
"Huang Sang, you're really not bad!" Qiao Guoqiang patted Huang Baiming's shoulder, making him feel flattered.
"Your men's weapons are too lousy. They're even made in Hanyang!”
"Yes, Taijun!" Huang Baiming said," I wonder if the imperial army can allocate some weapons to me. As long as there are weapons, I will immediately expand my forces!”
"There are weapons!" Qiao Guoqiang raised the small box in his hand." But you can't give it to me for free. Do you understand?"”
"Understood, understood!" Huang Baiming said," I only need two machine guns and a company of weapons. It would be even better if there are small cannons!”
"These things are not cheap!"
Huang Baiming pulled Qiao Guoqiang and turned around. He stretched out his right hand and made a " 2 " sign, then clenched his fist again.
"What do you mean?"
"20 gold bars!"
"Yuxi!" Qiao Guoqiang said," Give me two more and I can give you a grenade launcher!”
"Good! 22 gold bars, 100 rifles, 2 machine guns, and a grenade launcher!”
"Weapons need people to operate them!”Qiao Guoqiang said,"You can't!" I need training!"
"Hi, hi!"
"I'll definitely bring them to strengthen their training later!”
"Let's start now!" Qiao Guoqiang shouted to the guards,"Everyone, turn around!"”
"Ah?" The group of guards did not understand.
"Taijun wants you to turn around!" Huang Baiming shouted.
"Oh!" "Turn, turn back!"
Some of the fourteen people rushed to the left, while others turned to the back from the right.
Qiao Guoqiang looked at Huang Baiming.”
"Ah?" Huang Baiming pointed at himself." Me!"
"Take the lead and set an example!" Qiao Guoqiang glared at him.”
"Haiyi, I understand! Understood!" Huang Baiming walked over and stood at the head of the line.
"Attention!"
Putting the gold bar into the system space, Qiao Guoqiang took out the Origin-12 shotgun.”
"Tower!" "Tower!" "Tower!" "Tower!"
Within a second, he had shot 15 lackeys five times in a row.
"Why?" Huang Baiming was about to pull out his gun when he was called " Tower!" He broke his right hand with a single shot!
"It's important to come out and make a living!" As he spoke, a signal flare shot into the sky!
"Kill!" Kong Jie led the charge. Before the Japanese soldiers in the stronghold outside the town could react, half of them were killed by the machine guns.
Qiao Guoqiang knocked Huang Baiming unconscious with a rifle butt, then rushed out of the Huang family's courtyard with a shotgun, facing the Japanese soldiers who were about to rush over! Tower!" Two shots!
The town was not big. Qiao Guoqiang rushed to the gate of the town and threw a grenade into the Japanese's bunker. The machine gun exploded. Kong Jie rushed in with his men.
Huang Baiming was woken up by a basin of water. Qiao Guoqiang pointed the shockingly thick shotgun at his head." Now, how much money do you want to use to buy your life?”
