Chapter 116 The Plan Works!

It has been proven that once the human heart is understood, the calculations against someone are almost 100% successful.

After leaving the city with his luggage, Li Banzhu first met with the Eighth Route Army ambushed near Wang Village as agreed.

After successfully getting the detonator, he slowly approached the village full of traitors with these deadly weapons.

A little old man with a lot of luggage, this combination is simply the favorite of the idlers in Wang Village.

These people, who are no different from bandits, rushed out of the village immediately when they saw the business coming to the door. In order to avoid missing out on the fat sheep, they even rode horses.

"Old man, where are you from? Don't you know that this road was built by our village? Pay the toll! Otherwise, don't think about leaving today!"

Faced with such a threat, Li Banzhu took two steps back and pretended to be frightened. This level of performance is a piece of cake for a folk artist like him who has been singing opera since childhood.

Moreover, these village bullies made him feel very disgusted. As a person who had lived in the county town for more than ten years, Li Banzhu was well-informed. He knew that the captain of the Japanese gendarmerie came from here.

In order to achieve his goal, the old man pretended to be pitiful, bent over and begged for mercy from these village bullies:

"My dear friends, I used to live in the county town, but something happened at home and now I have to go to seek refuge with distant relatives."

"I really can't pay a penny for this toll, can you please let me go?"

For these idle wastes, it is naturally a good thing to get unexpected wealth. But even if there is nothing to gain, having fun is also a way to pass the time.

It is safer and more interesting to bully an old man with limited mobility like this. So they rode their horses and surrounded Li Banzhu, and several pairs of greedy eyes stared at each other's luggage.

"Old man, I see that the bag you are carrying is quite heavy. We brothers have known to respect the elderly and love the young since we were young. Today, we will be kind and help you deal with it. We don't need the toll."

All the current developments are within the expectations of Li Banzhu and Guan Weimin. The only risk is not to expose the detonator in the backpack. Seeing these hooligans eager to reach out and grab it, even the Eighth Route Army soldiers ambushed in the distance were sweating.

In order to avoid danger, Li Banzhu quickly took the initiative to open the luggage and revealed several costumes for singing opera. Originally, when the hooligans saw that there was nothing valuable in the luggage, they felt a little disappointed.

But they suddenly remembered that their village chief's favorite entertainment activity was singing opera.

These lackeys looked at each other, turned around and showed a flattering smile to Li Banzhu. After all, Wang Taizhong said that you should use courtesy before force. If you can fool people, you may even get a reward.

"Uncle, what are you doing? We are not bad people. We just want to help you lighten your burden, not to steal your things."

"Our village respects all capable people. Do you want to go back to the village with us for a meal?"

Such a quick change of face surprised Li Banzhu, but he knew that things delivered to the door would not be cherished. He played the game to the end, so he squeezed out a gap while several people were not paying attention and rushed out.

But human legs are definitely not faster than horse legs, let alone an old man who was trembling with fear? Even before he could hold on for five seconds, Li Banzhu was caught on the horse's back, and his luggage was taken away by another person.

"This old thing is really shameless. He doesn't listen to good advice. He doesn't want to drink wine and drink punishment, right? Want to run?"

After this struggle, although Li Banzhu was hurt by the rough actions of these village ruffians, he still showed an imperceptible smile. The first step of this plan was finally accomplished.

The Eighth Route Army in the distance was a little worried when they saw the gangsters suddenly attack, but everything went in the expected direction, so they were relieved.

Several soldiers sent one person to report the situation to the regiment headquarters, while the rest stayed to continue monitoring the movements of Wang Village.

Wang Taizhong, who got the news, had been waiting near the stage early. As a person who dared not leave the village, he naturally did not know Master Li.

After being asked to sing a passage, the old man pretended to be reluctant and performed a selection from "Dingjun Mountain".

Although he has not reached the level of a famous actor, his many years of performance career have made Master Li stunned everyone as soon as he opened his mouth.

Even if it was a cappella without accompaniment, when he sang "It's a pity that the military advisor has little knowledge, he said I can't beat Xiahou Yuan", all the onlookers cheered.

Wang Taizhong himself was even more bright-eyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Master Li's hand, and ordered the chef who was watching the show to make a few hard dishes. He felt that his son's chance of promotion was right in front of him.

If he could keep the old man in front of him and sing a few passages for the upcoming days. If the lady is happy at that time, not only Wang Lu but also he will definitely get a lot of benefits.

Although their current carefree life has made Wang Taizhong, the traitor, very satisfied, who doesn't want to live a better life? When he thought that he would have the opportunity to work under Xiao Rizi, the old man was so excited that his whole body trembled.

Because he was afraid that the other party would resist, Wang Taizhong did not tell the truth to the owner of the Li band.

He only said that he particularly appreciated his performance and hoped that he could stay for a while and sing for the guests in a few days, and he would never treat him badly in terms of money.

This was exactly what he wanted, but in order to avoid the suspicion of the Japanese and the traitors, Li Banzhu had to continue this play. He pretended to be impatient and rejected Wangcun's request, and insisted on leaving.

Although the situation was not very smooth, Wang Taizhong did not give up. This old traitor pretended to care about Li Banzhu's health, but in fact he wanted to put the old man under house arrest.

"Keep an eye on this old man! If anyone lets him go, I will chop him alive! Serve me good food and don't neglect him!"

"Remember not to make spicy food and wine! Don't let Taijun come and his throat collapse."

Time passed bit by bit, and Li Banzhu had been in Wangcun for a whole day. Today is the day when the Japanese come here. He got up early, washed up, and then hung up his throat in the yard.

This is a habit he has developed since he was a child. Although he is likely to die today, he doesn't want to break his own rules. It has to be said that the traitors in Wangcun really like to listen to operas. Even the practice of voice and basic skills has people watching.

At the same time, about 300 devils came out of the county town.

Unlike ordinary infantry, these little days can be regarded as motorized troops. They don't rely on their feet to travel. They not only have Luwang 97-type military side three-wheeled motorcycles, but also several troop transport trucks.

Originally, Katsuhisa Muramoto wanted to take all his battalions away at once. After all, the Eighth Route Army is very close to the location of Wangcun, and opening up a new occupied area is a very dangerous thing.

For a suspicious person like him, the lack of available troops will make him feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.

But the commander who came to the county town to take over his shift did not arrive for some reason. In order to prevent the enemy's guerrillas from attacking due to the lack of troops, he only took his most elite men.

Among these 300 people, there is a full squadron of combatants, and the remaining soldiers are responsible for logistics. Although the number is not large, he brought the squadron of Type 92 infantry artillery.

Two infantry guns plus light and heavy machine guns with sufficient ammunition gave Katsuhisa Muramoto the confidence to fight a regiment of the enemy on the plain.

Although the firepower of the defenders in the county town was somewhat insufficient, in his opinion, his subordinates would never be defeated by the county brigade and the district squad.

When the Japanese came out of the county town in a mighty force, the scouts ambushed in various directions immediately brought the intelligence back to the 772nd Regiment.

This group of Japanese could not have dreamed that the Eighth Route Army had already wanted to kill them in their occupied area.

After receiving the intelligence, the second battalion commander immediately began to arrange the candidates for the mission tonight. Facing such powerful Japanese, the original plan of a company of troops was definitely not enough.

While there was still some time before dark, he had to rearrange his tactics. Originally, he just wanted to grab some barreled guns, but he didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains such as motorcycles and trucks.

And Cheng Xiazi immediately contacted the brigade headquarters. After all, dispatching a battalion of troops was beyond the scope of initiative and initiative.

After hearing all the information, the brigade commander said only one sentence: "Fight, fight hard! Don't let the devils and traitors go!"

It's a little late, sorry
