Rise from eight hundred.

After finally going home, Tang Dao stayed at home for almost ten days!
However, in the past ten days, Tang Dao could not be at the mercy of his parents every day. He said he was at home, but he was still busy every day.

As the leader of the Anti-Japanese Heroes, in addition to the constant stream of visits from fellow villagers, the bureaucrats in the county knew that Tang Dao had returned to his hometown, so naturally they also prepared gifts and came to visit.

Although Tang Dao was reluctant to deal with these old bureaucrats, his parents and family were still on their territory, so he could only brace up and make excuses with these bureaucrats.

In addition, Tang Dao also has a very important thing to do.

Strengthen the defense of the Tang family, the village, and even the entire countryside!

Even though the Tang family is located in the southwest of Sichuan Province, thousands of miles away from the frontline of the Japanese army, Tang Dao's understanding of the Japanese is that once the specific location of his family is known, the assassination of Tang Dao's parents will be difficult for Tang Dao. It's not impossible to erase the pain.

Precisely because he knew the Japanese's urinary nature, strengthening the security at home was Tang Dao's top priority when he returned home this time.

So, after finishing the running banquet at home, under the auspices of Tang Dao, the entire village where the Tang family was located began to build high walls. The 3.5-meter-high wall on the drawing looked like a small city wall.

To this end, Tang Dao issued a labor solicitation to the entire Shigu Township. Each person who participated in the construction was responsible for three meals a day plus a salary of 0.5 yuan, and purchased thousands of tons of various stones, white lime and other building materials!
The Tang family was originally a benevolent family and was highly valued by the rural people. Now Tang Dao's reward for 20 days' work was as high as 10 yuan. Who wouldn't want to come?

Not to mention Shigu Township, many people in the county want to come after hearing about it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a long way, just bring a quilt. Anyway, it’s just passed the Mid-Autumn Festival and the weather is not too cold. What difficulties have the people in the village not faced?

But Tang Dao's meaning is very clear. He only uses local people. This kind of trust makes the folks in Shigu Township have a favorable impression of Tang Dao. .

Originally, Tang Jili and his wife thought that this was too much of a mobilization of troops. If they could be killed by the Japanese even if they stayed in the mountains, then this war would really be unwinnable.

It was the words of an old family member who was over [-] years old that moved them: "Don't let the baby have worries. He has fought with the Japanese and knows how to fight. The better we live, the less burdened he will be and the more he can focus on fighting with the Japanese." People fight!”

It is said that he is a servant of the family, but the old man has been in the Tang family for 60 years, which is older than Tang Jili. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a relative and elder. The old man has spoken, how can the couple object?

I can only let my grown-up son 'fiddle around'!
Tang Dao not only built the entire village into a 'fortress', but also used the walls to form passages in the village that only the villagers themselves were familiar with. There seemed to be dozens of alleys, but in fact only the only ones that could lead to the Tang family were One piece.

Anyone who is not familiar with the village environment, as long as he dares to come in, dare to let him play an escape room!

Moreover, the Tang family is no longer just a husband and wife, an old man, a young man, and a brainless Tie Hanhan. Tang Dao selected 30 people from the sons of employees at home, with a monthly salary of 20 oceans, and selected them as armed forces. Guards.

There are 8 hours a day, and there are 10 people in each class. They are all equipped with the temporary submachine guns that Tang Dao bought from Commander Fan when he passed by Shancheng!

The people responsible for training and leading these young guards who have no reputation for loyalty are all selected from disabled veterans who retired from Uncle Wang's regiment. Their salary is as high as 40 oceans.

The veterans can come here to help train the soldiers of the security regiment. Firstly, they have the relationship with the old commanders. Secondly, they can naturally earn some money. But obviously Tang Jili's businessman characteristics will never offer high wages, but When Tang Dao came, he doubled his salary. Naturally, he was grateful to Tang Dao.

These disabled veterans may have physical limitations that allow them to fight with bare hands, but their marksmanship and vision experience are very experienced.

With them paired with healthy and rigorously trained young guards, one squad has 15 people and three squads have 45 people. Coupled with the terrain and sufficiently sophisticated firearms, unless the Japanese send an infantry squadron to attack by force, they can be delayed no matter what. Nearby villagers came to help.

Although the 1500 recruits that Tang Jili trained for half a year will arrive with the 22nd Group Army's transfer orders and then pass through northern Sichuan to Shaanxi Province and then arrive at the North China front line, it does not mean that there will no longer be training of security guards.

Tang Jili does not have this ability, but Tang Dao does, the head of the infantry regiment directly under the 22nd Army. The 22nd Army has already sent a message requesting counties in southwestern Sichuan to train 2 reserve troops. Jinxi County has allocated 2000 people, and 1500 have been recruited. Enlisting in the army, there are still 500 vacancies, which is naturally the task of Tang Jili as the deputy head of the security group.

In the village, the villagers act as eyes and ears, and are very wary of outsiders. There are barriers outside the village. Even if outsiders sneak in, they have to climb over the wall and walk through a maze. When they finally reach the Tang family, there are still more than a dozen submachine guns aiming at them at any time. You, this is the protection Tang Dao provides to his parents.

. . . . . . . . . .

'On November 11th, Tang Dao arrived at the mountain city and met Fan Shaozeng, who came to greet him in person, and purchased ordnance from the ordnance station of the original Sichuan Army through him!

军械具体清单为：中正式步枪1000杆，配弹20万发；捷克式轻机枪20挺，配弹十万发；民24式重机枪10挺，配弹15万发；82口径迫击炮十门，配弹2000发；另有专用刺刀1000把，各类铁铲、铁镐、军用水壶2000个；军服、被服等各2000套！
The total amount is about 30 silver dollars!
Fan Shaozeng personally donated 28 German-made MP50 submachine guns, 10 Browning pistols, and 3 rounds of standard bullets to Tang Dao! '

'On November 11, Tang Dao arrived in his hometown;

On November 11, the Tang family held a banquet for three days. No less than ten thousand people participated in the banquet, and all the county officials congratulated him! '

'On November 11th, five days after returning to his hometown, Tang Dao started a major construction project and hired more than a thousand workers to build a high wall outside Tangjia Village. It was also said that he would hire no less than an infantry platoon of armed guards at a high salary! '

The middle-aged man in the deep residence in the mountain city listened carefully to his subordinates recounting everything about Tang Dao's behavior after arriving in Sichuan Province.

"Director, what does this Tang Dao want to do? Recruit 1500 new soldiers in his hometown, and purchase sophisticated ordnance sufficient to assemble an infantry regiment. Does he want to support his troops in North China? Moreover, he has close private contacts with the local gentry in Sichuan Province. , suspected of having evil intentions!" The man in a black suit looked sinister after reading the information about Tang Dao.

He may not have any personal prejudice against Tang Dao, but the fact that the superior attaches great importance to him already explains a lot of problems.

The Bureau of Investigation!Just investigate all suspicious people!

Tang Dao is already a major target of suspicion. Saying bad things about him is only good but not bad.

"Haha! Tang Dao can survive a desperate situation like Sihang Warehouse, fight his way through the Japanese siege, and beat the Japanese to the point of doubting their lives. There is no doubt about his ability. How can he live up to his words on these things?
Purchasing ordnance is based on the order of the commander of the 22nd Army. It is normal for the frontline army to replenish ordnance. It is better to pay for the purchase with your own money without the national government paying. The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is asking for it. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Fan Shaozeng is, the ordnance So they didn't dare to sell it to him.

Recruiting new soldiers is a general trend. Which army does not need to recruit new soldiers now?They are from the Sichuan Army, and no one can say no to recruiting troops from their hometown.

He has close ties with the local gentry in his hometown. The Tang family has strong financial resources and has been in the family for hundreds of years. How can he not communicate with the outside world?

Whether these actions are reported or approved, Tang Dao has the seal and approval of the superior department. There is no violation of the rules. They are all reasonable and compliant. You said that he wants to support his troops with self-respect. That is, here, after leaving the door of this room, you Don’t mention half a word!

Otherwise, if Captain Tang, who kills Japanese people like chickens, hears it, I may not be able to protect you! "The voice of a middle-aged man with a feminine Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent sounded.

"What? Is it possible that he is so bold as to fight against our investigation bureau?" The man in the suit looked unbelieving.

"Against swords? Then you are totally wrong!" The middle-aged man sighed slightly.

"Look, Tang Dao has already made an old intelligence agent like you, who has been doing intelligence work for more than ten years, think that he is just a warrior who kills and kills at every turn!" "Tang Dao is just a familiar lieutenant general. No less than six people! Not counting those division commanders and brigade commanders! Forgetting those, the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater, the commander-in-chief of the first theater, and the commander-in-chief of the second theater of Jin Province all spoke highly of him.

Also, you know the proud commander of the [-]st Corps of the Ninth War Zone. Who have you seen him admire?But Tang Dao, he had told people in private, was one of the few people he admired!
You said, if Tang Dao persuades these big shots, no, maybe only one of them is needed. Is it like killing a chicken to kill you, the lieutenant colonel section chief of the District Investigation Bureau? "

"Hiss~~~~" The man in the suit took a deep breath with an ugly face.

It was really unimaginable to him that Tang Dao, a small army colonel, could be so deeply involved with so many big shots in just one year.

"So, you people only see Tang Dao's ability on the battlefield, but you ignore that in every battlefield, he can be recognized by the powerful generals of the friendly forces who fight alongside him and maintain good relations with him.

Good guy, the Northeastern Army, the Sichuan Army, the Northwest Army, the Gui Army, the [-]th Group Army and even the Guangdong Army are all connected. This kind of ability to combine vertically and horizontally is really the only thing I have seen in my life! "A trace of gloom flashed across the middle-aged man's eyebrows.

"If anyone treats him as just an anti-Japanese hero or a little army colonel, they will definitely pay a heavy price, whether they are Chinese or Japanese!

Also, do you think he built a lot of construction projects in his hometown just to prevent the Japanese? "

"Is he guarding us?" A trace of disbelief flashed in the man's eyes.

That is obviously too blatant, and can he defend against the huge state machinery by building a high wall?

"Of course Tang Dao knows that we can see it, but that's what he wants us to see!" The middle-aged man lowered his eyes.

"He just wants to tell us that if someone wants to take action against his family to suppress him, his resistance may be relatively weak, but he will definitely burn everything and make his enemies pay an unimaginable price, and , he was confident he could do it.”

"You don't have to doubt what he can do. At worst, he can take away the heads of people like you and me at any time." The middle-aged man's deep voice continued to sound in the small office.

"Because he had in his hands the lives of three Japanese Army lieutenant generals and enough major generals, colonels, and lieutenants to form an infantry platoon. He even lurked in the center of the battlefield where the two sides were fighting for a whole day, killing them with one shot. Guzhufu, no one knew he did it before, but after investigating him this year, I am 90.00% sure that he did it."

"Then how should our investigation bureau deal with him?" After a while, the man in the suit asked weakly.

"He is now a fierce general in our army, how can we deal with it? Remember, the best way to deal with a young beast is to either tame it or kill it before it grows up, but when facing an adult beast, Qian Don't collide with it head-on, it will tear it into pieces!

We only need to fulfill our responsibilities, and leave the rest to the higher-ups to decide! "The middle-aged man pointed to the sky with a calm expression.

"Also, I asked you to list Jinxi County as a key area, not to let your people move frequently there, but to keep that area under guard for me and don't let the Japanese sneak in. If something happens to that couple, I will I don’t want to suffer the disaster of Yuchi and be remembered by him.”

The man in the suit was stunned!
How powerful is the Army Major General in front of him? How could he, a subordinate who has followed him for nearly ten years, not know?

Especially in recent years, thanks to that person's favor and a large amount of capital injection, the Bureau now has more than 2 agents of various types distributed across the country, even in the current Japanese-occupied areas. It can be said that they have eyes and ears everywhere, and they directly report to the big boss. He is responsible and can report intelligence to him at any time. He is so powerful that even the Ministry of Military Affairs and those commanders with military power are extremely afraid of him.

Just like when he just talked about those famous generals and commanders who each have hundreds of thousands of troops at their disposal, his words were extremely indifferent and he did not show any fear. However, he never expected that an army colonel would actually ask him to say There is no fear of suffering from words like "disaster in the fish pond".

The reason why the man in the suit is now a lieutenant colonel section chief instead of the nominal second-in-command of the investigation bureau is actually the first-in-command is because of the difference in structure.

The middle-aged man is not afraid of generals with heavy troops, because he knows that even if those generals want to rebel, they must have hundreds of thousands of troops who are of the same mind as the commander.

And what about Tang Dao!No matter how elite the Four Troops under his command are, they are only a few thousand people. To the entire country, they are just a drop of spray in the ocean and have nothing to fear.

But the difference between Tang Dao and those generals is that his personal strength is too strong. On the battlefield, he is like a tiger, invincible. But when he sneaks into the darkness, he is the most venomous snake in the world!

For middle-aged men who wander in the darkness all year round, venomous snakes are far more terrifying than tigers. Tigers can also provide targeted defense, but venomous snakes hiding in corners can kill people quietly with their deadly fangs.

What Tang Dao used as a bargaining chip was not how many troops he had under his command, but simply his own strength. This was not figured out until the middle-aged man after the Battle of Wanjialing.

From a distance of several hundred meters, Matsuura Rokuro was fatally shot!
When the middle-aged man saw the horrific wound on the chest of Matsuura Rokuro's corpse, he realized with horror that perhaps Tang Dao's real purpose of exposing his personal strength was to use this to send a message to himself, the first deputy director of the Investigation Bureau. .

As long as he wants, he can send this incredibly lethal bullet into the body of anyone in the world, and no one will die!

Chi Guoguo's threat was extremely effective. At least the middle-aged man who was used to playing with other people's lives in his hands broke out in white hair the moment he figured this out!

The day before Tang Dao left home, Mingxin, who had put on his Taoist robe again and set up a stall in the county town to tell fortunes for several days, reported to Tang Dao that there had been several merchants selling grain, cloth, silk and other businesses in the county town in the past few days, but the clerk At first glance, he looked very muscular and was not a native of Jinxi County.

Tang Dao smiled slightly, he liked to deal with smart people, and Deputy Director Dai fell into the category of smart people.

Not being sneaky, but telling him in this almost blatant way, don't worry and go to fight the war, I will help you guard your home!

Rice and silk are the crops that Jinxi produces the most. To do this kind of business, you will inevitably need to go to the countryside. There will be several companies there, but can you do at least one shift every day?
The Japanese's senior espionage agents may be able to hide the truth from the locals, but they cannot hide from the agents of the Bureau of Investigation who are also engaged in this profession. Having them help and guard them will undoubtedly add another layer of insurance to the safety of the home.

This is typical of Tang Dao who hired a bunch of professional security guards without spending a penny.

It wasn't until one day many years later that Tang Dao and the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows met at a drinking party. Tang Dao raised his wine glass and thanked the middle-aged man. Only then did the middle-aged man, who had been calculating people's human nature all his life, suddenly realize that he had been tricked by Tang Dao. A ruthless calculation.

Without even a word of threat, the investigation bureau spent more than 10 yuan to help Tang Dao guard Tang Dao's home for several years.

In the past few years, the Bureau of Investigation arrested and killed hundreds of Japanese spies, agents, and ninja killers, and dozens of agents themselves sacrificed their lives.

At its peak, the Bureau of Investigation had 160 agents and armed execution teams of various types in Jinxi County alone. Calculating various pensions, personnel salaries, and expenses, it must not be more than 10,000?

Are you a dog?Thinking of this, the middle-aged man drank nearly 3 taels of white wine in the cup in one sip. Then he saw Tang Dao easily drain the wine in the cup, and then poured two large glasses of white wine, one kilogram in total, to toast again.

Liquor sellers are all profiteers!The kind that can’t be raped again. This is another important lesson learned by a middle-aged man in his secret agent career after he passed out drunk!

But he was wrong, the monopolized tobacco industry was.
