"As long as you don't kill me, I can do whatever you ask me to do!" Toyoshi Arai said as he disarmed himself and carefully dropped it beside Kong Jie.
Then, he raised his hand again and looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie carefully.
Arai Toyoshi's obedience far exceeded Ding Wei and Kong Jie's expectations.
Kong Jie couldn't help scratching his head, rubbing his teeth, and thought something was wrong. This little devil must be too scared to death.
Before he could do anything, he was about to surrender. Kong Jie had seen many little Japs and had tried to recruit Japs to surrender.
But it has never been as smooth as today, and he surrendered on his own initiative without even saying anything about surrender.
"Old Ding...this..." Kong Jie looked at Ding Wei strangely.
Ding Wei was also fooled by this devil's tricks.
This little Japs named Toyoshi Arai was completely different from any Japs officer they had encountered before.
I originally thought that this Japanese officer was the same as those guys before who were always screaming and clamoring to commit suicide by caesarean section.
As a result, he surrendered so quickly?
Ding Wei even began to suspect that this guy was a traitor who knew Japanese and pretended to be a Japanese officer in order to survive.
"What evidence do you have to prove your identity?" Ding Wei said coldly.
Kong Jie slapped his head, pointed at the Japs and said, "That's right, hand over your boy's officer certificate!"
Without any hesitation, Toyoshi Arai took out an ID from his front pocket and handed it to Ding Wei respectfully.
Ding Wei took the certificate.
His name is on the certificate, Toyoshi Arai.
There is also an ID photo. Comparing it, it is no different from the guy in front of me.
What surprised Ding Wei the most was that this guy was actually the captain of an infantry brigade, which meant that with his rank of major, he could actually command operations.
This kind of idiot can sneak into the position of infantry captain. It seems that it is true that he knows some regimental captain before.
"Come here, tie him up!" Ding Wei originally wanted to shoot this guy directly.
Hearing that his brother-in-law was a captain of the Japanese army, Ding Wei felt that this Japanese was useful and decided to spare his life.
The soldiers tied up the frightened Arai Toyoshi with three strikes, and Arai Toyoshi did not dare to make any resistance.
"How come this little devil doesn't have the backbone of a soldier?" Kong Jie couldn't help but said, "I still want to fight him with real swords and guns."
Because Toyoshi Arai had dodged his shot before.
Kong Jie has always been worried about this matter. He thought that if he invaded the county town, he would have to fight with this officer no matter what.
But he actually surrendered directly, causing Kong Jie's dream to be shattered.
Now Kong Jie has been demoted to battalion commander. He is waiting to make meritorious service and be reinstated, but he does not dare to make any more mistakes.
But Ding Wei is different. He is a bold master: "Little devil, where is the money that your brother-in-law plundered?
All the landlords and traitors in the city will be brought to account by me. If you dare to tell a lie, I will shoot you directly."
Because this Japanese guy knew Chinese, Ding Wei didn't bother to say anything in Japanese.
"As long as you don't kill me, I'll say anything." Toyoshi Arai nodded, and he looked at Ding Wei, Kong Jie and the others.
Then he asked cautiously: "Are you really from the 28th Regiment?"
"Yes, I am the commander of the 386th Brigade and the 28th Regiment. Ding Wei, why, I don't look like the commander, or are you not convinced that I won?" Ding Wei said coldly.
"If you're not convinced, let's practice again and I'll beat you until you're convinced."
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Arai Toyoshichi said repeatedly: "I have long heard that your army is brave in battle, and today I saw that it is indeed well-deserved."
Arai Toyoyoshi was complaining in his heart. He never expected that this county town would actually attract people from the 28th Regiment.
He had already heard about the reputation of the 28th Regiment. They were a group of ruthless people who annihilated the Sakata Regiment and surrounded and annihilated the Cavalry Regiment.
The Japanese army had long regarded the 28th Regiment as a thorn in their flesh, and had been trying to find ways to annihilate them. Unexpectedly, they were so unlucky to encounter such a group of murderers.
Now Toyoshi Arai does not dare to have any thoughts of resistance, he just wants to cooperate with Ding Wei and the others.
"I heard that your army never kills prisoners. Now that I have been captured by your army, I hope you can treat me well."
"You damn little devil, you know a lot," Kong Jie scolded with a smile.
"Do you know what habits I have?" Ding Wei looked at Arai Toyoshi and said coldly.
Arai Toyoshi was puzzled.
"I am willing to kill people. If you cooperate well, I might spare your life." Ding Wei said coldly.
Listening to Ding Wei's cold tone, Toyoshi Arai could not help but tremble.
He believes.
Whenever you dare to think wrongly, the person in front of you will never say anything about taking prisoners, and will kill you if you don't take prisoners.
"Take us to the warehouse." Ding Wei said coldly.
"Okay, no problem, I'll take you there right now." Toyoshi Arai nodded in agreement, and then began to lead the way.
When they arrived at the warehouse, many soldiers were already standing at the door. When they saw Ding Wei and the others arriving, they immediately waved excitedly.
"Captain, come quickly, there are a lot of supplies in the warehouse."
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Stop being silly, take away all the military supplies you can, and burn whatever you can't take away! Not a bullet or a grain of food can be left to the little devil!"
The soldiers suddenly burst into cheers and rushed into the warehouse, carrying supplies in full swing.
The remaining dozens of soldiers were standing outside the warehouse, conducting vigilance work.
"Old Ding, are you really willing to give up the county seat we finally won?" Kong Jie asked with a look of distress on his face.
"If the boss knows that we have won a county town, he will definitely praise us. This is a great achievement."
"Dingyang County has become a traffic hub for the Japs, connecting various strongholds. They will never sit back and watch the county town be controlled by us." Ding Wei said coldly.
"If we establish a base here, the crazy little Japanese will definitely launch a fierce attack on us.
I won't be able to sleep peacefully at that time, let alone defend this county. Although we have strong troops and horses, from ancient times to the present, you have seen no one build a base in the enemy's hinterland.
We cannot keep up with the follow-up support, and some strategic goals cannot be achieved. Even if we want to occupy Dingyang County, at least we have to wait until we have completely controlled the surrounding areas and set up a line of defense on the outside."
Kong Jie nodded in agreement and said nothing more.
In fact, it was not just Kong Jie, although before the war started, Ding Wei had already explained that the purpose of this war was to obtain supplies in the county.
But when the soldiers really had to capture the county, they were asked to abandon the county and retreat back to their original base. Although the soldiers didn't say anything about it, they were not very happy in their hearts.
It was obvious that he had fought hard and won a great victory, so why did he give up so easily?
Just leave?
If they leave once they reach the county seat, wouldn’t their visit be in vain?
But Ding Wei just wanted them to understand a truth: some things that should be given up must be given up decisively.
Otherwise, let alone the county town, you would have to risk your life to get in.
It's not like Ding Wei doesn't know how important this county is. Controlling it is equivalent to controlling the surrounding strongholds, large and small.
But now is not a good opportunity.
If you are really greedy and take over this county, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop in the future, and you may even bury the entire 28th Regiment in it.
Ding Wei had reason to believe that if the 28th Regiment occupied the county seat, it would be putting its neck on the sword of the Japanese.
The little devil has long hated the 28th Regiment, and when the time comes, the troops attacking the county will be at least two regiments, or a brigade, or even a division.
Not to mention that the Japanese support troops are already on the way. If they are not secured, they will immediately turn around and attack the county town.
"Comrades, I understand your thoughts, but I said before I came here that we only want supplies, not the county town!" Ding Wei said loudly.
"If we really occupy the county seat, we must first deal with the Japs around us. All of this must be arranged in advance."
When the soldiers heard this, although their faces were unhappy, they accepted it in their hearts.
Ding Wei was already quite prestigious in their hearts. Since the group leaders said they would not take the county seat, there must be a reason not to take the county seat.
There was a pause.
Ding Wei continued: "I know everyone is unhappy, but you have to believe me, it won't be long before we fight back.
Since we can capture this county once, we can capture it a second time!"
Hearing this, Toyoshi Arai couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
These 28 regiments truly deserve their reputation.
After calming the excited emotions of the soldiers, Ding Wei immediately sent people to load all the things that could be taken away from the warehouse into trucks.
But the soldiers searched for a long time, and except for the supplies on the surface, they could not find the property that Yumuling had plundered from the landlord.
Ding Wei turned his head to look at Toyoshi Arai: "Where is the money that Tamaki Rei collected is hidden?"
Seeing Ding Wei's cold eyes, Arai Toyoyoshi was frightened and said urgently: "I'll take you there, don't kill me, I'll take you to find him."
Arai Toyoyoshi had no intention of hiding anything at all. They actually knew that Tamaki Rei had raided the landowner, and there was no point in concealing it any further.
If you offend them by pretending to be stupid, you may end up losing your own life.
Arai Toyoyoshi was very cooperative from beginning to end, and his cooperation would have been a little ridiculous, if it weren't for his slightly stiff accent.
Ding Wei even thought that he was a native Chinese citizen who had been oppressed by the Japanese invaders.
"Old Ding, this devil seems a bit..." Kong Jie held it in for a long time, but couldn't think of any suitable words.
"Too cooperative." Ding Wei added.
After thinking for a long time, Kong Jie finally said: "Is there something fishy about this?"
Kong Jie was still a little uncomfortable seeing such an obedient Japanese officer.
"No matter what he does, if he dares to disobey, we will kill him directly!" Ding Wei said unceremoniously.
Not a few of the Japanese soldiers died in his hands, especially the Japanese junior officers. He killed countless Japanese generals, not to mention the little major in front of him.
While talking, they also walked into the warehouse, and under the guidance of Toyoshi Arai, they came to a large open space.
"Don't kill me. I will definitely try my best to cooperate with you. My brother-in-law...that is, the money collected by Tamaki Ling has been buried underground. He wanted to take it with him when he left!"
Toyoshi Arai hurriedly stepped on the ground under his feet a few times: "Start digging from here, and you will definitely be able to dig. There are four large boxes below, all of which are discounted gold."
"Gold!" Upon hearing this, Kong Jie's eyes instantly lit up.
In times of war and chaos, gold is the only real currency, not to mention oceans, jewelry and the like.
Four boxes of gold, how much does that cost?
"Old Ding!" Kong Jie looked at Ding Wei with an excited expression.
Ding Wei understood immediately and waved his hand to the soldiers around him to dig up the ground.
The props in the warehouse were also complete, and a dozen soldiers took shovels and started digging.
Arai Toyoyoshi stood there honestly, not even daring to let out a fart.
"Don't be idle, take this opportunity to tell all the landlords and traitors in the county who are collaborating with you!" Ding Wei said coldly.
Now that he is here, Ding Wei will thoroughly clean up the garbage in the city and avenge the people in the city.
They lived under the pressure of the little devils and suffered countless hardships and sins. Today, he was going to do justice for these people.
"Yes, I will definitely explain everything!" Toyoshi Arai nodded honestly.
"You tell me, I'll remember it." Ding Wei casually took out a notebook.
Toyoshi Arai hung his head and told all the landowners in the city who had colluded with them one by one.
"Li Chengjia, Li Guze, Li Chenggen..." Toyoshi Arai said one by one.
"Wait a minute, you kid, aren't you trying to be sloppy with me?" Ding Wei said coldly: "We've been talking for a long time, my mother's surname is Li, are you kidding me?"
"Think more clearly. This brother of mine doesn't have a very good temper. He hates people lying to him the most!" Kong Jie followed: "Be honest!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. The Li family controls most of the supplies in the county. No, it should be in several surrounding counties." Toyoshi Arai said tremblingly.
"In addition to the family surnamed Li, there are three other big landowners: the Jia family, the Ma family, and the Liu family. However, these three families cannot compare to the family surnamed Li."
Ding Wei nodded slightly, handed the roster to a soldier and said: "According to this list, arrest me, the traitors will be shot on the spot, and bring me all the landlords in the city!"
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "By the way, let the common people come over and ask them what bullies there are in the county. Since they are all here, let's deal with them together!"
"Yes!" The soldier stood up to accept the order and left quickly.
"You better not lie, otherwise..." Ding Wei snorted coldly: "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
