Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2298 Confidential Secretary Zhang Jun!

"Yes, this brother is right. You can't have a peaceful and prosperous world if you don't tolerate it!"

"We have been enduring it before, but didn't many people die in the village?"

"This time it was them, next time it could be us. The Japs kill without blinking an eye. They kill people whenever they want, without any sense of reason."

"Yes, let's join the army and kill the devils!"

  ············

The villagers were very excited and were persuaded by Damenzi's few words. More than a dozen people signed up on the spot.

Someone also suggested taking Damenzi and others back to the village to find more people to join the guerrillas.

Da Menzi and the others were naturally willing. He was now like Han Xin, selecting soldiers. The more the better.

Of course, Damenzi doesn't think of himself as Han Xin, but as Leader Ye.

He once overheard Leaders Ye and Pan sighing that their troops were not large enough to engage in a head-on battle with the Japanese and that they needed to avoid their sharp edge.

So along the way, he recruited many people for Leader Ye.

In many villages, people died at the hands of the devils. The cruelty of the devils had already angered the villagers who dared not speak out on weekdays.

As long as Damenzi fanned the flames a little, some people would decide to join the guerrillas.

So at this time, including the new recruits who had just been accepted, Damenzi's team actually had more than fifty people.

Damenzi and his men continued to chase the Japanese without stopping.

Although this time, they might not be able to catch up, after all, they only have two legs, while the Japanese have four wheels.

But Damenzi heard from the villagers that a Japanese soldier who knew Chinese had mentioned that they were going to Jinzhou.

Damenzi thought that the main force should be in the direction of Jinzhou, so he reset the route and continued to cross the mountains and forests.

In other words, the Japanese were taking the mountain road, while they were walking in a straight line, so they still had the possibility of catching up with the Japanese.

  ···············

At the same time, Duanwu and his reconnaissance team encountered trouble in Sunjiaji, 80 kilometers away from Jinzhou.

Duanwu and his reconnaissance team were discovered by the Japanese in Sunjiaji, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides.

Of course, it wasn't that Duanwu wasn't careful enough. Jiang Li said there was a liaison station for an underground party organization in Sunjiaji.

If this liaison station had not been destroyed by the Japanese, it would be very likely that they could contact the liaison station in Jinzhou, and thus obtain intelligence about Jinzhou. After all, the guerrillas had to pass through the Jinzhou area and would be safe if they went to Chifeng via Chaoyang.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of the liaison station in Sunjiaji betrayed them. Duanwu and his companions were thus exposed and engaged in a battle with the Japanese in the city.

There were not many Japanese devils in Sunjiaji, only two infantry squads of about thirty people, and the rest were traitors, including the detective team, there were less than fifty people.

The Japanese thought they had an absolute advantage and could easily defeat Duanwu and the others, but they didn't expect that Duanwu alone could take care of them all.

What's more, there are Jiang Li, Ma Shanpao, Li Ergou and others.

They cooperated with Duanwu to beat the Japanese so badly that they ran away in panic.

Five Japanese soldiers escaped, more than 30 traitors escaped, and the remaining traitors and Japanese soldiers were all shot dead. Sunjiaji was also occupied by Duanwu and a dozen others. The traitors who betrayed the party organization were also captured, tied up their hands and feet, and thrown in front of a pile of Japanese and puppet soldiers' corpses.

Zhang Jun, the owner of Zhang's Cloth Shop, was horrified and begged for mercy: "Comrade, comrade, please don't kill me. I have no choice. You have never seen the torture of the devils. It is like hell on earth."

Jiang Li angrily shouted, "Is this your reason for betraying the underground party organization? You bastard, you almost harmed Leader Ye. You deserve to be killed. On behalf of the underground party organization, I sentence you to death!"

As he said that, Jiang Li raised his gun and prepared to shoot Zhang Jun on the spot.

Zhang Jun knelt down and begged: "Comrade, comrade, I was forced to do this. Please give me another chance. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new man."

"late!"

Jiang Li was ready to kill him, but Duanwu held her gun with a smile and said, "Who doesn't make mistakes? If you change, you're a good comrade!"

Jiang Li looked at Duanwu in surprise and asked in confusion: "Leader Ye, are you too lenient to the traitor? We can't be too soft-hearted, can we?"

Duanwu laughed and said, "No, no!"

Then Duanwu said to Zhang Jun: "I understand your difficulties, but you did make a mistake. If you can't make up for your mistakes, it will be difficult to deal with it."

Zhang Jun thought for a moment, and seemed to understand something. He said quickly: "I was lurking among the Japanese traitors, but I did not do nothing. I have a lot of information about the Japanese traitors. The underground party organization in Jinzhou was destroyed long ago. And I was caught because I was betrayed by the traitors.

The man was called Zhang Futang, and he was originally a liaison officer of the Jinzhou underground party organization.

After he was captured by the Japanese, he immediately turned against them and led the Japanese to destroy Jinzhou and the nearby liaison stations.

And the reason why I pretended to be submissive and surrendered to the Japanese was because of his ideological work.

Also, I know that the Japanese have recently been pulling in a large number of troops from nearby areas. They say they want to intercept some guerrillas. Maybe they are talking about you? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Japanese guarding here.

Comrade! Leader! I have said all that needs to be said. Please give me another chance to start a new life. I will definitely turn over a new leaf, become a meaningful person, and a person who benefits the people!"

Duanwu nodded with great satisfaction and said, "You are very good. A good comrade is one who knows his mistakes and can correct them. Come on, untie them."

Li Ergou stepped forward to untie Zhang Jun, but Jiang Li's expression changed slightly at this time.

She thought to herself, how could Leader Ye, who is such a smart person, make such a low-level mistake?

But he thought about it again and felt that it was not right. Leader Ye might be plotting something, and he must not ruin his plan.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li remained silent and watched what would happen.

At this time, Duanwu patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder and said approvingly: "It is a great honor to know one's mistakes and improve them. As the Buddhists say, if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha. So this little mistake is nothing. But now that you have returned to your job, don't you also need to do something for the organization to show your loyalty?"

Zhang Jun was a wise man, and he nodded quickly, saying, "Of course, of course. Leader Ye, if you have any instructions, I, Zhang Jun, will not hesitate to die, no matter how hard it takes."

Duanwu nodded with satisfaction and said, "I think you, Zhang Jun, are a top figure. So, you stay with me and be a confidential secretary first. When you make great contributions in the future, I will promote you."

"Confidential secretary?"

Zhang Jun was overjoyed, because the position of confidential secretary was not low, and not everyone could have a confidential secretary. Only troops above the division level would have a confidential room.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun felt a little elated!
