Chapter 117 Chapter 117

Hades.

The chat between Yan Yangsheng and Han Zengyu continued.

"Have Lieutenant Noma's men entered the city?"

Hearing that Yan Yangsheng was talking about serious business, Han Zengyu quickly replied:

"Originally, according to the original plan, all the people will be in place within two days, but because the eighth road is very strict at the gate of the city, it has only been a little more than half of it until now."

After thinking for a while, Yan Yangsheng said: "Half, there are hundreds of people, almost enough."

"In another day and a half, the eight roads in the city will be almost finished. By then, the county will be easily controlled without too many people."

He also warned: "Old Han, you must arrange the people who come in properly, so as not to be discovered, this is something that will lose your head."

Han Zengyu said: "Don't worry about it, President, they are all our own houses, scattered in various places in the city. I arranged for someone to deliver meals for them."

"And they themselves said that Lieutenant Noma had also given them a clear order to keep concealed and not allowed to go out before the operation began."

Hearing this, Yan Yangsheng nodded in satisfaction:
"Okay, other things must be done quickly, and more efforts must be made to make the streets chaotic."

"At the same time, we must send more people to keep an eye on the Eighth Route Army's garrison, and report to me immediately if there is any trouble."

"Understood." Han Zengyu understood, and immediately went to make arrangements.

Independent 2 regiment headquarters conference room.

After the meeting was over, Wang Liang held another expanded team meeting.

In addition to team members, heads of each battalion (department) also participated.

The theme is to report on the development of various tasks after entering the city.

Just listen to Zhou Weiguo's report first:

"At present, five anti-aircraft guns have been deployed, located in the four directions of the county seat, southeast, northwest, and the other one is located in the city, on the top of the Xinghe foreign building."

"Judging from the current reconnaissance situation, there is no sign of a large number of Japanese troops gathering, and it is speculated that they will not launch a large-scale attack on the county in the near future."

After Zhou Weiguo finished, Ou Xiang continued:
"The social situation in Lincheng County is basically stable, and the law and order and economic order are good, but there have been some rumors recently."

"Oh? What rumor? Let's hear it." Wang Liang asked curiously.

Ou Xiang: "It's all nonsense. Why did we prepare 300 carts long before we entered the city, and we had to rob them for three days after entering the city. After the robbing, we had to put down the guillotine on the stone steps, use Guillotine guillotine."

"Some say they want to crack down on businessmen and confiscate their properties."

Wang Liang thought it was very funny, but at the same time he also attached great importance to it. He arranged for Liu Bowen, who was just appointed as the propaganda officer, to say:

"Bowen, take someone down to investigate and investigate. One is to find out who is spreading these rumors, and the other is to clarify the rumors. After writing the article, it will be broadcast on the street through a heart-war megaphone, and another publicity campaign will be established. The small team went deep into the market to preach the policy."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Liu Bowen quickly took notes. He is full of energy now, and he is busy with the launch of "Fat Man and Little Boy".

Ou Xiang continued: "In addition, the number of counterfeit coins on the market has suddenly increased a lot recently, and the increase in prices is not small. The impact on the citizens is not small. I suspect that someone is secretly manipulating it."

Wang Liang knew about this matter. When he went to eat breakfast at the noodle stall at the gate of the regiment, he heard the old man complaining non-stop. This business really couldn't continue.

The prices of raw materials such as chili, peanut oil, and coal have risen a lot. If the price of a bowl of noodles does not increase, it will definitely lose money.

However, if the price suddenly increases sharply, many regular customers will definitely be lost.

After all the calculations, it's not worthwhile to do it anyway, which gave the old man a headache.

Wang Liang said: "Before we entered the city, the market in the county was thriving and full of vitality. Why did things go wrong as soon as we came? There is no doubt that this incident must be sabotage by the remnants of the Japanese and puppet forces."

"To trace the source of counterfeit banknotes, we must stabilize prices."

"Yes, I have already organized people to investigate." Ou Xiang nodded.

Then it was Ding Dasuan's turn to speak: "Counting the delivery from the Chamber of Commerce the day before yesterday, we don't have to worry about food at all now, and we are very well off."

"In addition, the medical supplies such as medicines, gauze and bandages sent by the chamber of commerce have also solved our major problems. The situation of the wounded is relatively stable at present."

……

After listening to everyone's reports, Wang Liang also made some instructions.

One is to be vigilant. The Japanese will definitely not let it go. The flood of counterfeit currency in the city is the best signal. The commanders and fighters of the whole regiment must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be ready to deal with the enemy at any time while recuperating.

The second is to emphasize military regulations and discipline, and no violation of discipline is allowed.

After the meeting, Sun Shulin reported to Wang Liang about Fujita and Fang's situation alone.

Under Zhou Weiguo's many designs, Kazuyoshi Fujita, who has repeatedly made military exploits, was appreciated by senior officials of the First Army.

He has been promoted from the captain of the military mail squadron to the major of accounting officer (logistics accountant), and at the same time also serves as the chief of staff of the logistics wing (logistics wing), which is a step up.

More importantly, Fujita's "brave" performance in battle also won him a very high reputation within the Japanese army.

In this way, with the background of Fujita, it will be much more convenient for Liu Cheng to deal with the military in business.

Afterwards, Wang Liang talked openly and honestly with Hao Yiren, the former head of the Xing City guerrilla detachment.

According to the wishes of the brigade commander, Wang Liang asked Hao Yiren to serve as the deputy political commissar of the 2nd Independence Regiment, not to carry out specific work for the time being, and to cooperate with the investigation of the working group.

After all, under the propaganda of the Japanese, Hao Yiren had already defected and served them.

Although from circumstantial evidence or other aspects, the facts are relatively clear, that is, Hao Yiren never betrayed his belief or the revolution under coercion, temptation and torture.

But the discipline of the organization is here, and the investigation that should be accepted must still be accepted. This is a necessary screening process.

Originally, Wang Liang was worried that Hao Yiren would be psychologically burdened and resisted.

After all, he was tormented by the enemy for nearly two months. It stands to reason that returning to the team would not only be warmly welcomed and praised, but at least he should not be subject to censorship and investigation.

Unexpectedly, Hao Yiren expressed his understanding and stated that he would actively cooperate with the investigation.

This made Wang Liang awe-inspiring. After all, he is an old comrade and an old revolutionary, and his consciousness is high.

After finishing these, Wang Liang went to visit Yan Yangsheng who had only heard his name but never seen him.

When Wang Liang was doing research in the past two days, this name was mentioned not once or twice.

As for the evaluation, without exception, they are all praises.

Of course, Wang Liang is not a fool.

During the Japanese occupation period, this person was the chairman of the chamber of commerce who was in trouble, so he must have done a lot of evil, at least not too clean.

As soon as the team entered the city, he arranged for someone to deliver important supplies such as food and medicine, which showed the skill of this person.

Wang Liang was very interested in Yan Yangsheng. The president of the chamber of commerce was quite influential. If he could win over Yan Yangsheng and use it for himself, it would be easier to solve the problem of counterfeit banknotes in the market.

Hades.

"Cough cough cough, Captain Wang is able to come to the humble house, it is really radiant, cough cough, luxuriant and radiant!"

Yan Yangsheng, who learned that Wang Liang was coming to visit, went to the gate early and waited.

Of course, in order to fulfill Han Zengyu's previous lie that he was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed, he found two servants to support him, and at the same time, he pretended to be weak and weak when he spoke.

Wang Liang hurried forward to shake hands, and said at the same time: "President Yan, I'm here to express my gratitude to you for providing food, medicine and other supplies to our department. This really helped us solve a big problem."

When mentioning this, Yan Yangsheng pretended to be very unhappy: "Tuan Zhang, when I mentioned this matter, the old man was very angry. For this reason, I even scolded Chairman Han."

"Those materials were unconditionally donated to your Ministry. It is Yan Yangsheng, including the members of the chamber of commerce, who supported our Eighth Route Army and the Anti-Japanese War. This apprentice dared to accept money from your Ministry, really..."

I have to admit that Yan Yangsheng is a very good actor.

Ou Xiang, who came with Wang Liang, couldn't help explaining: "President Yan, you misunderstood. You can't blame President Han for this. Our Eighth Route Army is disciplined. I insisted that President Han accept the money." .”

"I don't care about that, no matter what, we can't accept this money. If not, let the folks in Lincheng County know, and they will poke my spine!"

Yan Yangsheng understood the tricks of the world.

Wang Liang was also very moved by these words, but the iron-like discipline was there, so he came up with a way to get the best of both worlds:

"Let's do this, President Yan, the money is still for you, but it's not used to buy the supplies, but counted as your salary."

"Salary?" Yan Yangsheng didn't understand what Wang Liang meant.

Wang Liang explained: "Chairman Yan, our Eighth Route Army has very little experience in county management, and you should also know that the market is unstable now, and we need help from people like you who are famous and support our Eighth Route Army. "

"So I have a heartfelt request, that is, to hire you as a consultant for our independent 2nd regiment, to give suggestions for our next work arrangement, and to give advice. What do you think?"

Yan Yangsheng was secretly delighted, there was nowhere to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

I really wanted to do whatever I wanted, and I was worried that I would not have the opportunity to get close to the Eighth Route Army and understand its dynamics in time so that I could respond to the actions of the Japanese.

Unexpectedly, Wang Liang came to the door on his own initiative this time.

Yan Yangsheng analyzed: "Although the old man seldom goes out these days, he still knows a thing or two about the things in the market. The depreciation of currency, the skyrocketing of prices, and the public's discussion. I suspect that there is a high possibility that someone has put a large number of counterfeit banknotes into the market. .”

Seeing Yan Yangsheng getting into his trap, Wang Liang immediately said: "Yes, our judgment is also the same. I also hope that Chairman Yan can accept the employment and help us stabilize the market."

"At the same time, we assisted border currency to enter the market and replaced counterfeit banknotes. Now that the county town has been liberated, it is a bit unreasonable to use the currency printed by the devil."

"Okay, no problem, it's on the old man." Yan Yangsheng was quite surprised by Wang Liang's proposal to replace counterfeit coins with border coins.

He instructed Han Zengyu to put the counterfeit coins into the market wantonly. The purpose was to cooperate with those rumors and cause chaos in the county, so as to achieve their ulterior motives.

But now that Wang Liang has come up with such a solution, Yan Yangsheng has to think about the need to speed up the pace of action.

After chatting for a while, when he heard Wang Liang's specific measures to replace counterfeit coins with border coins, although Yan Yangsheng's expression did not change significantly, a turbulent wave had already set off in his heart.

He did not expect that Wang Liang could come up with tricks such as real-name registration for exchange, limited-time exchange, and decreasing exchange rate.

This made Yan Yangsheng realize that Wang Liang is not an idiot, but an expert.

Looking at Wang Liang's leaving figure, Yan Yangsheng murmured: "Shoot a snake and hit seven inches, capture the thief first and capture the king first, then you should be dealt with first."

-

When Wang Liang returned to the regiment headquarters, it was already dark.

After a busy day, I am very tired.

Back at the door of the regiment office, when Wang Liang was about to open the door, his eyes were covered by a pair of slender hands.

"Guess who I am?"

Listening to this sweet and soft female voice, Wang Liang knew without thinking that it was his younger sister Wang Xiao.

In the entire barracks, there was no second person who dared to joke with him like this.

In fact, when Wang Xiao quietly touched his back, Wang Liang had already noticed it.

The reason why this little trick was not exposed was to make up for the regret of the brother's lack of childhood memories of his sister.

"It must be my brother's most beloved, favorite, and my most beautiful and lovely sister."

"Hehehe, you guessed it right!" Obviously, Wang Xiao was very satisfied with his brother's prefix and was very happy.

"Brother, you came back so late, you must have not eaten yet? I'll cook noodles for you!"

After saying that, Wang Xiao quickly ran away.

In less than 10 minutes, a bowl of steaming hot green onion noodles came over.

This is a unique method of his hometown Weixian. Seeing the taste of his hometown that he has heard for a long time, Wang Liang couldn't help but eat it.

In less than ten seconds, I ate up all the soup and noodles.

"I'll cook some more!"

"Don't cook, don't cook, I'm already full. I can't sleep because I'm too full to eat at night." Wang Liang stopped Wang Xiao, and then took out from his pocket the exquisite small copper mirror and wooden comb he bought in the afternoon, and said : "My brother gave you this, see if you like it?"

Wang Xiao, who received the gift, was overjoyed: "I like it! As long as it is a gift from my brother, I like even a heart-shaped stone!"

Wang Liang enjoyed the time with his sister, which was a rare time of warmth.

He gave Wang Xiao some pocket money, and Wang Liang told her to work hard in the hospital and not to do anything special.

Wang Xiao listened very carefully and nodded like a dragonfly, very cute.
