Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 45 Make a deal with Yong Temple

New Second Regiment Headquarters.

Li Daben was reporting to Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang. Zhou Weihan thought that the transportation channel to the base area had been opened up, and it was time to regularly deliver supplies to the base area. Li Daben was appointed by Zhou Weihan as the person in charge of the new second regiment.

The Eighth Route Army lacked a lot of supplies, but weapons and equipment were by no means the most lacking. The most lacking thing was bullets. Even reloaded bullets could not meet the daily needs of the various departments of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhou Weihan's order to Li Daben was to get as many materials as possible and have stable channels.

Living supplies: food, cloth, salt, military supplies: firearms, bullets, tung oil, anti-inflammatory drugs, anesthetics, medical alcohol, bandages, etc.
There are three main sources of daily necessities: one is to purchase locally. The stalls in Wuyi and Wu'an counties have been opened, and various shops can purchase from the local area; Activities in several surrounding counties.

The second is the regular protection fees paid by the landlords and puppet troops in Wu'an and Wuyi counties. Terauchiyong was promoted in disguise, and the territory of the New Second Regiment also expanded in disguise.

The third is to trade with the little devil, of course, this is the last measure.

"The head of the regiment, the political commissar, and daily necessities are easy to talk about. There are already stable channels that can be continuously transported to the base area, but the military supplies are strictly controlled by the devil. A small amount can still be traded with Si Neiyong, but a large amount is hard to say." Li The big thing is truthful.

"Well, you go and set a time. I want to meet Si Neiyong in person." Zhou Weihan said.

"Old Zhou, isn't this too dangerous, little devil?" Zhao Gang on the side said worriedly.

"Okay, it's settled like this," Zhou Weihan said without any doubt.

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go quickly?"

"Yes" Li Daben replied, turned around and left.

"Old Zhao, I can't help it. As long as the deal with Si Neiyong is successful, this amount of supplies may be a drop in the bucket for the entire Eighth Route Army, but in the 386th Brigade, it is already a lot." Zhou Weihan said truthfully.

Zhao Gang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Old Zhou, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, Si Neiyong, a guy with an eye for money, as long as he is well fed, he would like to resell some supplies," Zhou Weihan said to Zhao Gang.

Li Daben's efficiency is quite fast, or else Si Nei Yong can't wait, and when this matter is mentioned, Si Nei Yong agrees without hesitation.

Wearing a long robe and a top hat, Zhou Weihan took Dong Jiang and the others and set off for Wuyi County.

"Master Li, you are here again. You have come to the county very frequently these days!" the new squad leader of the puppet army said enthusiastically.

The second bald man who used to guard the city gate has been promoted to platoon leader, and now he no longer has to guard the gate every day in the wind and sun.

"Well, brothers, you have worked hard." Li Daben nodded and said.

"Hey, it's not hard, Mr. Li, please, this is this?"

"This is our shopkeeper. I have an important matter to discuss with Major Watanabe. Why, is there a problem?"

"How dare you, big shopkeeper, please!"

This time the two puppet soldiers at the gate didn't have much to do. First, Li Daben came here often and fed them well, and everyone knew the relationship.

Second, Major Watanabe of the Gendarmerie also ordered that a distinguished guest would come today.

The two little devils did not dare to neglect, and gave a military salute to Zhou Weihan and his party.

Ever since, a few men with big arms and round waists, who obviously had a guy behind their waists, walked into Wuyi County swaggeringly.

"Li Daben, are you a very imposing boy? Be careful not to violate discipline. I'm easy to talk about here, but the political commissar can't get around you!" Zhou Weihan warned Li Daben.

"Leader, isn't our new second regiment supporting us? Besides, I'm just drinking some wine and watching a show. I've never touched money or women before." Li Daben complained road.

"There is no best."

A group of people entered Wuyi County and went straight to Chuanxiang Tower. Several people from Dong Jiang surrounded the perimeter of Chuanxiang Tower to investigate, leaving two people to guard the surrounding area.

"Head, no problem, the warning point has been set up." Dong Jiang said.

"Then, shopkeeper Zhou, please come inside." Li Daben shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Old Feng, have you made all the arrangements?"

"Oh, Mr. Li, you are here, the Japanese have already arrived." said Lao Feng, the shopkeeper of Chuanxianglou.

"Let's go, don't make people wait too long." Zhou Weihan went upstairs first, followed by Li Daben and Dong Jiang.

At the door of the private room, Watanabe in plain clothes had been waiting for a long time, and two plainclothes gendarmerie guarded the door.

"Li Sang, you guys are here, the chief in the temple has been waiting for a long time," Watanabe said, pushing open the door.

"Dong Jiang, you stay outside the door, you and I can go in with Li Dashi." Zhou Weihan turned his head and said.

In the room, Si Neiyong, the deer-headed mouse, was dressed like a landlord and rich man, his clothes were stretched a little tight by his fat body, which made people feel awkward no matter how they looked at it.

"Mr. Zhou, you have been brave in the lower temple, and you have admired your name for a long time." The temple stood up and said bravely.

Si Neiyong's Chinese is not good, and Watanabe who was on the side just wanted to translate, Zhou Weihan: "Si Nei Jun, you are welcome, aren't we friends?"

"Zhou Jun, I didn't expect you to speak a fluent Kyoto dialect!" Yuu Terauchi said with a look of surprise.

"When I was in school in Peking, there was a teacher named Masato Ito who taught me."

"Nani? Mr. Ito is my teacher at the Army University. He is very respected by others. I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be his student. It's a pity that he has retired for a long time and his whereabouts are uncertain. Otherwise, I would definitely invite him to Wuyi for a reunion."

"Master in the temple, how about this cup to our teacher?" Zhou Weihan raised his glass and said.

Masato Ito, the son of Hirobumi Ito, was influential at Army University and an avid supporter of the war.

Zhou Weihan, who was studying at Yanda University, always believed that in order to defeat an opponent, one must understand the opponent from all aspects.

By chance, Zhou Weihan met Masato Ito, was appreciated by Masato Ito, and learned Japanese culture.

Masato Ito wanted to train Zhou Weihan to be a little devil spy. After the incident came to light, Zhou Weihan simply killed and buried his body and took away his belongings. Masao Ito, the executioner, disappeared from the world.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for helping me in Liubao stronghold this time. Thank you very much." Knowing the relationship behind Zhou Weihan, Si Neiyong lowered his posture and bowed.

"Temple Lord, there will be many opportunities in the future, let's make a fortune together."

"Yo Xi, there is a lot of money to be made," Si Neiyong rubbed his fingers and said wretchedly.

"I came to you this time to purchase a batch of military supplies."

"Zhou Jun, you can say whatever you want, as long as the price is right." Si Neiyong changed his previous statement to Li Daben that military supplies were difficult to obtain.

"The first is bullets, medicines and related equipment, followed by tung oil, and various firearm parts. Of course, it is also possible to sell weapons directly, and the price is negotiable," Zhou Weihan said.

"Mr. Zhou, in terms of weapons supplies, the military department will have supplies on a regular basis. I can save this to trade with you. Of course, it is easier for the puppet army to supply weapons and ammunition. There are a lot of them in the warehouse."

"Temple Commander, Mr. Zhou, as long as there are a few more battles like Liubao stronghold, the supplies will be greatly reduced," said Watanabe on the side.

"Yo Xi, Watanabe, your idea is very good, Mr. Zhou, it seems that we will hold a few more exercises in the future," Terauchi said with a smile.

"We are willing to cooperate."

"Of course, if Terauchi-kun can get a production line for 7.92mm bullets, I'm willing to pay a lot of money to buy it"

　Which brother knows the price of various firearms and bullets?
