Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 574
In mid-August, Wu'an.

Dong Jiang and Lin Zhengxiong pretended to be fellow villagers entering the city and mixed in the long queue entering the city.

Lin Zhengxiong looked at the puppet army who was inspecting in front of him, and felt guilty, he tugged at the corner of Dong Jiang's clothes in front of him: "No, don't recognize us, let me tell you in advance, I can't stand torture what!"

"Hmph, stop talking, I'll find a place to bury you later, and save you trouble!" Dong Jiang said with a glare at Lin Zhengxiong.

"Just joking, just joking!" Lin Zhengxiong said.

"If it weren't for the fear of being recognized by others, I would still be queuing here when I enter the city? Just show our Eighth Route Army ID to the Japanese and puppet soldiers guarding the city gate, and I will be able to enter and exit without hindrance!"

While the two were talking, they moved forward with the team, and the puppet army in charge of the inspection shouted at the two, "Where's the certificate of good citizenship?"

The two took out their certificates of good citizenship, and the puppet army compared them to the photos, and then closed the certificates of good civilians, but they did not return them.

I saw the puppet army holding the certificate of good citizenship in his right hand, slapping his left hand non-stop, and squinting his small eyes: "Why are you two entering the city?"

"Master Jun, go to relatives!" Dong Jiang cursed secretly, and immediately took out a box of unopened Tainan brand cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the puppet army: "Master Jun has worked hard, try it!"

"Yo, it's still hard currency, that's enough, let's go!" The puppet soldier quietly stuffed the cigarettes in his hand into his pocket.

"Okay, okay!" Dong Jiang nodded, and pulled Lin Zhengxiong into the city.

Now Tainan brand cigarettes have opened up sales in Tainan counties, not only the well-off local people recognize this, even many people in the puppet army smoke this.

The quality of the tobacco leaves produced in Tainan is average, but the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area has produced high-quality tobacco leaves since ancient times. Since the establishment of the Tainan Cigarette Factory, it first produced a popular brand of cigarettes.

Subsequent upgrades were made in the process, using the best tobacco leaves, adding filters, and optimizing the packaging.

The field clothing factory of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army has a cigarette factory in Xingtai, which specializes in the production of Asahi brand cigarettes for the little devils, but the output is far from meeting the needs of the population of many counties in the divisions of the 108th Division. opportunity.

The two entered the city and went straight to a teahouse opened by the enemy engineering department in the city.

The shopkeeper at the counter saw the two men enter the door, thinking about the task informed by the superior, immediately asked: "What do you two drink?"

"I have an appointment, No. [-] private room!" Dong Jiang made a gesture while speaking.

The shopkeeper immediately understood, and stretched out his right hand: "Okay, private room No. [-], go upstairs to the first room on the left!"

Dong Jiang nodded, and when he went upstairs, he happened to see a monk and Tian Defu on a table facing the main entrance downstairs, eating melon seeds and listening to a little song, so uncomfortable, he quickened his pace upstairs.

In the private room, Zhou Weihan was observing passers-by on the street through the window, when Dong Jiang knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

"**member!"

"Yeah!" Zhou Weihan nodded, "Isn't there anyone following you along the way?"

"No, it's safe!" Dong Jiang replied.

In order not to attract attention, Zhou Weihan and Dong Jiang entered the city in two ways.

Logically speaking, judging from the current degree of control of the Eighth Route Army over Wu'an, even if Zhou Weihan entered the city, he would not need to be so careful.

It's just that during this trip Zhou Weihan needed to meet the person in charge of the Zhonghua Guizong Society in Handan, and because of the identity of that person, he had to be careful.

Not long after, the person in charge of the enemy engineering department in the city led a well-dressed man into the teahouse, and then went straight to the No. [-] private room on the second floor.

Hearing regular knocks on the door, Zhou Weihan signaled Dong Jiang to open the door to check.

When the two entered the door, the person in charge of the enemy's engineering department glanced at the people in the room, and quickly locked his eyes on Zhou Weihan who was holding a tea bowl: "Chief, I am code-named Fisherman, and I am in charge of making contact. man of!"

Before Zhou Weihan could speak, Lin Zhengxiong, who had already guessed about this trip, immediately hugged the visitor: "Brother Wu, I really didn't expect it was you!"

Lin Zhengwu patted Lin Zhengxiong on the shoulder fiercely: "When I heard the news from Changzhi, I thought you were dead. You are really lucky!"

After the excitement, Lin Zhengxiong realized that this meeting is definitely not easy, and there is definitely business to do, so he immediately introduced: "Brother Wu, this is the Eighth Route Army."

"You don't need to say more!" Lin Zhengwu stopped, and grabbed Lin Zhengxiong who wanted to continue talking.

"Okay, you go out first, I'll have a good talk with this gentleman!" Zhou Weihan waved his hand and said.

After the three of Lin went out, Lin Zhengwu hung his coat and hat on the hooks and sat opposite Zhou Weihan.

Zhou Weihan looked at the person in front of him with intense eyes, and his thoughts went back to the time when Dong Jiang reported to him at the Zhonghua Guizong Society.

After Dong Jiang's report, Zhou Weihan immediately realized that this was an opportunity to develop the Eighth Route Army's own strength within the Japanese army.

Furthermore, after the Japanese army occupied Ryukyu for many years, the Zhonghua Guizong Society still organized and continued to fight against it, which also made Zhou Weihan deeply admired.

Zhou Weihan knew that the organization also had its own strength in Ryukyu, but Ryukyu was isolated and the organization was too weak.

Afterwards, Zhou Weihan reported the matter to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and his superiors quickly launched an investigation after learning about the Chinese Guizong Society.

Coincidentally, there happened to be a cadre in Yanzhou who once presided over the work in Ryukyu. According to his recollection, the origin of the Chinese Guizong Society can be traced back to the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty organization that was active in Ryukyu more than [-] years ago.

After the Sino-Japanese War was defeated and the Japanese invaded Ryukyu, the Chinese Guizong Society changed its purpose and united with the rebels from all walks of life, embarking on the road of resisting Japan and surviving.

It is a pity that the Japanese army continued to increase troops to Ryukyu, and finally the rebel army was defeated, and the Chinese Guizong Society went underground.

The sources of members of the Chinese Guizong Society are extremely complicated. Some are passed down from generation to generation, some are righteous men such as the Hongmen in the Jianghu, and there are also military secret agents lurking in Ryukyu, and of course there are members of our organization.

After nearly a month, the organization dispatched several comrades from Hong Kong to sneak into Ryukyu to investigate the background of Lin Zhengwu and Lin Zhengxiong, and finally notified Zhou Weihan.

"Lin Zhengwu met Mrs. Zhou!" Lin Zhengwu cupped his hands and said.

"Oh? You know my identity?" Zhou Weihan asked curiously.

"Mr. Zhou's name, Ningji Okamura offered a huge reward. No one in the Japanese army knew about it. After I came to Handan, I carefully studied the photos of Mrs. Zhou when I was a child, and I recognized him the moment I met!" Lin Zhengwu said with a smile.

As for why he studied Zhou Weihan’s photos, Zhou Weihan also guessed the content of Lin Zhengxiong’s statement at the time. It was nothing more than Lin Zhengwu’s intention to contact the Eighth Route Army in Tainan, but later he found out that the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the local Japanese army was ambiguous and he gave up his idea. .

"Brother Lin knows my identity, how dare you come to see me today?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"The original speculation was presumptuous. Only after the battle of Changzhi did we know the strength of your army, and your army is really fighting against Japan!" Lin Zhengwu explained.

Zhou Weihan chuckled, and didn't care at all. Instead, he took out half a copper coin from his pocket and put it on the table, then pushed it in front of Lin Zhengwu.

Lin Zhengwu's face changed greatly when he saw the half copper coin, and then he took off the other half copper coin that was hanging close to his neck, and the two copper coins were seamlessly matched together.

"Comrade Hongyan, it's not easy for the organization to get in touch with you!" Zhou Weihan joked.

"Mr. Zhou, since arriving in Handan, I have been eager to get in touch with the organization, but before leaving, my superior specifically confessed that I can only wait for someone to wake me up with this half copper coin, otherwise I will remain silent!" Lin Zhengwu explained again.

"Hey, this is also for the sake of your personal safety. If you lurk inside the Japanese army, the role you can play will be very important!"

"After you left, the traffic station where your upline was located was cracked by the Japanese army, and the radio station was destroyed. It's been a long time since no one contacted you. If it wasn't for the fact that your superiors took the initiative to send someone to Ryukyu to investigate, I'm afraid you would have to remain silent!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Hi!" Lin Zhengwu gave himself two annoyed blows.

"Okay, let's talk about the business, how much power does the Chinese Guizong Society have in Handan?"

"The Chinese Guizong Society has 652 members in Handan, but they are scattered in various places. Among these people, the source is responsible. The most are the local Ryukyu forces headed by my Lin family, and there are also Hongmen's halls. Maybe there are still people in the military commander!"

"The original organizational structure of the Chinese Guizong Society was loose, and the secret strongholds were repeatedly attacked by little devils. After the military commanders joined and conducted formal training, they got better!"

"However, as I said just now, there are many factions among them. I am among you, and you are among me. It is hard to say what the secret identities of the members are!"

According to Lin Zhengwu, several Ryukyu local forces connected by blood are the most closely connected, and the two factions of Hongmen and Juntong are closer to each other on the surface.

"As for the members of the organization, those who are with me, the organization gave me a secret list before I came here. There are 32 people in total. People from the five families of Lin, Zheng, Zhang, Wang, and Li account for 26 people, and the remaining 6 people are They belong to the Hongmen family, and I was able to get in touch with 3 people in Wu'an, during which time I developed another 5 people, making a total of 37 people!" Lin Zhengwu said.

"Lin Zhengxiong?"

"It's not Zhengxiong. He is usually sociable and too conspicuous, but there are some convenient things that I often make excuses for him to do!"

Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this. The supplementary soldiers recruited by the Japanese army from Ryukyu were not reused. Under the management of Isamu Terauchi, the Japanese officer Zuoju of the Osaka Division transferred from the front line was ranked first. The Japanese came next, and those from Ryukyu came last.

Among the more than [-] members of the Chinese Guizong Association today, Lin Zhengwu is the deputy director of the economics section of the Japanese Army Command in Wu'an, Wuyi, and Shexian County, and has the rank of captain. This is because Lin Zhengwu graduated from a university majoring in economics.

"I have the highest military rank as a lieutenant, and there are a few people like me, but they are all deputies, and they are not in key departments!" Lin Zhengwu explained.

"Hey, your economics class is really a key department. Our Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army secretly have deals. At the same time, you can also understand the situation of the Japanese army's economic blockade of the base area in the economics class!"

"Don't worry, it won't be long before you will be the head of the economics class!" Zhou Weihan said confidently.

"Now I will announce the instructions from the superior!" Zhou Weihan took out an order from his pocket: "I have learned what happened to Comrade Lin Zhengwu, and I now order Comrade Lin Zhengwu to establish a team within the Japanese army to secretly develop forces and monitor the local Japanese army every move. Make a move, wait for the opportunity to obtain information! The organizational relationship of the members of the team is transferred to the enemy engineering department of the Tainan Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and Yang of the Northern Bureau!"

"Yes!" Lin Zhengwu replied solemnly.

"Comrade Zhengwu, your identity needs to be kept secret. Although it is a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the situation is different in Ryukyu, and the hidden personnel of the provincial military command will bring you trouble!" Zhou Weihan instructed.

"For other comrades, there will be a comrade fisherman outside the door to cooperate with you. He will be your upline from now on, and the two of you will always maintain single-line communication!"

"Today's conversation will not leave a file record, don't worry!"

"Yes!"

"Is there anything else going on?" Zhou Weihan finally asked.

"Zhou **, recently, the Japanese Army Brigade and Regiment Headquarters in Handan forwarded an order, asking the local Japanese army to send people to investigate whether the artillery of the heavy artillery regiment carried by the Kwantung Army fighting in Changzhi was seized. , This order was directly issued by Neiji Okamura, the commander of the North China Dispatch Army!" Lin Zhengxiong said an important piece of information.

"Oh?" Zhou Weihan suddenly became interested, this little devil is really belated, but he didn't support Si Nei Yong to bring up this matter.

"Okay, I will send someone to continue to pay attention to this matter!"

After that, the fisherman and Lin Zhengwu left first, and Zhou Weihan spent some time in the teahouse before calling everyone out of the city.

Lin Zhengxiong's performance has passed the test, which is why Zhou Weihan brought him to meet Lin Zhengwu. After the two met, they could feel at ease.

However, due to the fact that Lin Zhengxiong is dead, he can only stay in the army for a long time.

On the other side, it was not only the Japanese army from the 104th Brigade in Handan, the [-]th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Tunliu, the [-]st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Anyang, and the little devils from the [-]th Division in Xinxiang. They all received this order.

How could the Japanese army be willing to let a heavy artillery unit disappear like this? Even Neji Okamura could not bear this responsibility.

In fact, Terauchiyong didn't care whether the heavy artillery fell into the hands of the enemy, but he hoped that it would fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army rather than the national army.

All of a sudden, little devils from all over the country sent spies to the Tainan area one after another, with the intention of vowing to search Tainan all over.

After thinking about it, Si Neiyong also made up his mind to call Yan Wangshan to find out the whereabouts of the missing heavy artillery, but Zhou Weihan was not on the mountain at this time.
