Chapter 300: Great Situation
Qin Zi went to Li Yuan's residence in person: "Captain Li, Zeng Youcai made an appointment with us. This is the contact method agreed between him and us. It is used for the first time. He named you to see you, and the appointment is at the old temple at Chaishantou."
Li Yuan could only postpone the exchange of personnel with the national army, and immediately set off with Qin Zi. They arrived at Chaishantou after dark, learned about the nearby terrain, and went to the old temple at Chaishantou late at night to wait for Zeng Youcai.
"You're alright?" Li Yuan raised his eyes when he heard the voice, and a smiling face appeared across the fire.
"Captain Zeng, you are doing well now, but you spend all your time hiding in a turtle shell doing dojo?"
Zeng Youcai knelt down opposite the bonfire in front of the temple: "This is a big happy event."
"What a happy event? Don't say you're looking for a wife, right?"
The traitor Zeng laughed: "You are so bitter, but you guessed it right!"
"If you fart quickly, why are you looking for me?"
"Then let's do three things. Originally there were only two. The first is that Inuichiro agreed to my formation of a guerrilla force, and that the land from Lijia Lane to the lake was under my control, and he also provided guns; the second was that
I'm asking for your help to transfer to a new class. Just the brothers who went to Wuxian last time will do. Of course, it would be better if you could go. The third thing is that my father really wants me to get married. This matter can't be postponed.
I might be able to separate my farts one day and leave a seed! Hehe!"
"There are still guerrillas in Lijia Lane?"
"They are not considered guerrillas. They are just a few members of the Red Gun Congregation whose family members were killed by the Japs. They have a gun and a few swords and want to fight the Japs. For half a year, they have not even touched a Japs hair."
"I understand, do you want to be the commander of this guerrilla army?"
"Obviously I am the commander, but secretly you have arranged for someone to get that guy named Wu down. That kid is not very good. He is just familiar with the terrain. It is said that he has great water skills."
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"Originally I wanted to mobilize people to kill them directly, but we can't trust the people in the detective team. Inuichiro and I proposed to use my family's nursing home. As for who to use, I will tell my father that you can use them."
Li Yuan and Qin Zi looked at each other: "What a good idea. Using the name of the National Army guerrillas seems to be the nail in the door for the Japanese to break into the National Army. In fact, it is an organizational control of this waterway team."
"But there is a problem. There have been people who maintain the association here for a long time. Of course I can't attack them."
"This is not a problem. I will let the national army guerrillas specifically eliminate those traitors who maintain the association."
"But I am the captain of the detective team, and my people have to come in, and I have to keep reporting back the news."
"Let me think about it, what you are talking about is a bit complicated. The Japanese, the maintenance police, the national army guerrillas, other local guerrillas, your detective team, plus us, a total of six parties, have to play a balance here; too
Difficult!" Li Yuan thought for a while and got confused: "Director Qin, this matter is too cumbersome. It looks like you need to arrange people to handle it. This matter seems a bit complicated. How about asking the organization to ask two people who are dedicated to doing it?
Only those who work in intelligence or local work will do."
"With such a good situation, the organization should support it!"
"I am the deputy captain of the detective team. I have one more thing to do here. I am here to gather information. Did you lead the attack on the artillery tower some time ago?"
"No, they are the guerrillas of the 76th Division of the National Army."
Zeng Youcai looked at Li Yuan thoughtfully, and finally nodded: "Inuichiro seems to be working on some kind of public security plan. It is said that he has also found some Japanese soldiers and is preparing to disguise himself as the national army and enter the mountain for a sneak attack."
"The time is set in three days. We got news that Wu Youqiu will meet at the mountain station southeast of Changxing, which is the former station of the National Army. Bring your team and capture the guerrillas alive! I will take care of your departure.
"
"Is your source one of them?"
"Yes, Wu Youqiu's cousin was arrested by the detective team and confessed. Wu Youqiu was my classmate. After they were arrested, I released them and said that I was the one who broke into the Japanese police station.
That’s it, I’m sure he will believe it.”
"Guerrillas like Wu Youqiu may not be reliable. Those who fail the test must be guarded against them."
"Didn't I fail the test? Are you going to be on guard against me too?"
"Bullshit, at least you will go to the guerrillas, which shows that you still have patriotism, so you should also remember that your current work is not only for yourself, but also for the common people. Don't sacrifice lightly."
Qin Zi began to teach Zeng Youcai political lessons, while Li Yuan hid outside to smoke.
...
The 76th Division of the National Army was originally stationed in the mountains and forests, so Li Yuan led ten people to the top of the mountain one day in advance. The path they took led from the west end to the small ravine below, and then continued through the dense forest.
To the east, you can reach Taihu Lake.
On the top of the mountain, you can vaguely see the temporary broken houses below. Chen Yong led a soldier to monitor the situation, while the others found a leeward position on the top of the mountain to have lunch.
There was no one in the abandoned house down there and it was very quiet. Occasionally I met a few passersby passing by, but they didn't stop there.
At noon, two people walked toward the broken house one after another. One of them was carrying a red tassel gun, and the other was carrying a big knife. The two just looked around, but did not search the nearby mountains and forests.
The two of them pushed open one of the doors, and with a creaking sound, they entered the house. There was a sound of cleaning the house.
It didn't take long, and people arrived one after another.
Chen Yong had already led a soldier to slowly approach the dilapidated house. Through a hole in the wall, he saw a total of eight people in the house.
A voice came from the corner of the room: "If your cousin didn't come, would there be any problem?"
A middle-aged man sitting at the top said carelessly: "There shouldn't be any problem. My cousin has been in the countryside and the Japanese are not in the countryside. What could happen?"
"But he didn't come on time, so we didn't wait for him."
"Our guerrillas have been established for so long, and we have never even fought against the Japanese. Brothers in other places often laugh at us."
"What a joke. A few of them beat up the Japs again. We are close to the county seat and the Japs are more powerful in numbers. If they are not convinced, try it yourself."
The man sitting at the head spoke again: "We have been together for half a year. I think if it doesn't work out, we can just give up our positions and everyone can join the guerrillas of the national army."
After speaking, he looked at the people below.
"I don't want to leave here anyway. We don't have much ability. If we join the national guerrillas, we will probably be used as cannon fodder." A younger man sat there, a little nervous.
"I don't think so. The national army attacked the Japs' artillery towers some time ago. I heard that not many people were killed at all. They are still recruiting people to collect intelligence on the Japs. If that doesn't work, let's go and sign up. At least we can get some.
Good gun." Another middle-aged man said.
"You think so well. If you join the National Army guerrillas, what will happen to your family? Don't even think about coming out after you join the guerrillas. Don't you know that so many villagers have joined the guerrillas? Who have you seen come back?
