The battle was over.
After half an hour of cleaning up the battlefield, a large number of seized resources were loaded into the captured carriages and oxcarts.
However, most of them were from the grain seized from Wang Erxi's granary, which amounted to thousands of tons.
Chen Ping 'an did not waste the food.
The commoners of Xiaowang Village were not having a good time either. Every household called out to receive food.
When Wang Erxi was hanged, the people of Xiaowang Village almost celebrated with gongs and drums.
The people from Xiaowang Village's maintenance committee, as well as those who relied on the Japanese to commit crimes, were all pulled out and shot at the village entrance.
With the help of the people of Xiaowang Village, the grain in Wang Erxi's house was also emptied.
A large number of carriages were heading towards Thousand Oxen Mountain.
They couldn't stay in Xiaowang Village any longer. Wang Erxi had already sent people to ask for help. Reinforcements would probably arrive soon.
More than a hundred captives also became the main force for transporting.
It just so happened that the traitors in Xiaowang Village were doing well. They had a large number of cattle and carriages to transport.
After two hours, the team left Xiaowang Village.
Less than an hour after Chen Ping 'an and the others left, the mighty puppet army and Japanese arrived at Xiaowang Village.
The person who led the way was the person who had gone out from Xiaowang Village to ask for help.
If not for someone asking for help, no one would have known what had happened in Xiaowang Village.
Wang Baokun almost brought his men over at top speed.
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he saw Wang Erxi hanging on a crooked tree at the village entrance.
Although Wang Baokun usually did not do good things, he was definitely a filial son. When he saw his father hanging to death, he immediately wailed.
The Japanese who had followed them knew that they were too late when they saw the collapsed turret in Xiaowang Village.
A large number of puppet soldiers and Japanese entered the village, but the attackers had already left.
The person in charge of the reinforcements was the Japanese's Shaosa Kameda, who was also the person in charge of the nearby stronghold.
Shaosa Kameda knew what had happened the moment he got out of the car.
A group of armed forces with decent combat strength, most likely a regular army, attacked Xiaowang Village.
At the beginning of the attack, they cut off the telephone line and blocked the communication between Xiao Wang Village and the outside world.
The battle ended in a short period of time.
They had cannons that could attack and destroy the turret.
If not for the destruction of the turrets, it would not have been so easy to take down Xiaowang Village.
"Major, this group of people moved quickly, and their combat strength is definitely not something that ordinary armed forces possess. Moreover, there were no corpses left on the scene.
From the craters left on the scene, it could be seen that the enemy had mortars, 75mm cannons, grenade launchers, and many light and heavy machine guns.
Therefore, it could be concluded that this was definitely a complete military armed force. It was definitely not comparable to ordinary armed forces.”
A second lieutenant from the Japanese who was in charge of investigating the scene ran to Kameda and reported the preliminary investigation results and analysis of the scene.
Guitian nodded. The garden was too big.
Although he had an infantry brigade under his command, he needed to control the surrounding three towns, and his military strength was really insufficient.
"Find this armed force immediately. We have to destroy it as soon as possible!”Guitian said seriously.
"Ha Yi!"
At this moment, a Japanese man ran over and reported,""Major, we found a large number of tire tracks. The destination is Qianniu Mountain!”
"Thousand Oxen Mountain?" Shaosa Kameda muttered and asked,""I remember that there are only a group of low-level bandits at the Thousand Bull Mountain. They can't do anything at all, right?”
The captain nodded and said,"Yes, Major. There is no threat on Thousand Bull Mountain.”
"No, it's too early to talk about this now. Changes happen very quickly. It's possible that an armed force came and used Thousand Cattle Mountain as their base. This is also completely possible.”
As the only possible armed area nearby, Thousand Cattle Mountain was naturally the first suspect.
Most importantly, Thousand Bull Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was very suitable to become a military base.
This was something that Guitian was very clear about.
At this moment, Wang Baokun also collected his father's corpse and walked over.
With tears still on his face, Kameda comforted,""Regiment Commander Wang, I am deeply saddened and sympathetic towards your father's plight. However, I hope that Regiment Commander Wang can pull himself together and avenge your father.”
"Please rest assured, Matriarch Guitian. The situation will be clarified immediately. No matter who it is, I will not let them off.”Wang Baokun said through gritted teeth.
He had already sent people to inquire. It was not difficult to find out who did it.
……
On the other side, Chen Ping 'an had already brought his team back to Qianniu Mountain, including all the captives.
After putting all the spoils of war into the warehouse, Chen Ping 'an immediately began to screen the captives.
Captives were also the foundation for expanding the team. Some people could be absorbed. In addition to the 100% loyalty effect brought by the training ground, if the team wanted to grow, they naturally would not reject the benefits of captives.
The screening process was very simple, which was to prove each other's innocence.
Those who had committed lesser crimes or had been recruited were all targets that could be absorbed.
In order to further control the occupied areas, the Japanese supported a large number of puppet forces, but not many people were willing to be traitors.
Therefore, a portion of the puppet army's manpower was obtained through recruiting strong men. Many puppet soldiers were forced to become traitors and did not commit crimes on a daily basis.
Soon, they screened the captives. Among the hundred captives, more than a hundred would be recruited into the team, and the rest would stay in the base to do hard labor.
There was also a prisoner of war camp in the base, which was suitable for these people.
Chen Ping 'an didn't give them any time to rest and threw them into the training ground.
The warriors in the training class were responsible for training these prisoners of war.
Chen Ping 'an needed these people to form a fighting force as soon as possible to deal with the possible retaliation of the Japanese and puppet troops.
It was still easy to find out who did it, but the puppet troops under Wang Baokun were originally from this side.
Moreover, Thousand Oxen Mountain was definitely the first suspect.
Of course, Chen Ping 'an had no intention of hiding it.
The gains from this battle were enough for Chen Ping 'an to rely on Thousand Oxen Mountain to compete with the Japanese.
After all, it was impossible for the Japanese to mobilize any troops to deal with him in a short period of time.
