Chapter 69 You have worked hard (4.2K)
Speaking of which, the identity of the man in the long gown was already revealed.

It was Qian Hao, the former captain of the Armed Forces Team of the Xing City Guerrilla Detachment, and now the leader of the first platoon of the Independent Company of the Independent Battalion.

He also has another identity, spy.

Code name - civet cat.

As early as when he was the captain of the Armed Forces Corps, Qian Hao often dealt with Japanese and puppet personnel because of work needs.

It takes money to make friends with these people.

Often go to restaurants, casinos, romantic venues and other places.

It didn't take long for Qian Hao to be completely corrupted by this life of luxury and money, and he betrayed his original intention.

After being targeted by Okamoto and Kawamoto, he was naturally developed into a spy.

Became a traitor and lackey.

The Xingshi guerrilla detachment suffered a mistake, and he was the heinous traitor.

"Mr. Kawamoto, the reason why we meet today is because I have important information to provide to you." Qian Hao said.

"Oh? What information? Tell me." Kawamoto's interest was successfully aroused.

Qian Haodao: "I can only say now that the credit for this information is far greater than subverting the guerrilla detachment."

"In other words, the influence between the two cannot be compared at all."

Qian Hao said again: "I'm already tired of my current life. I hope that after providing this information, I can get enough rewards for the rest of my life."

"Then fly away, leave here, and live a peaceful life."

Unexpectedly, Qian Hao even discussed the conditions with himself, which made Kawamoto very unhappy.

But considering that he still has important information in his hands, he still asked:
"Then how much do you want?"

"20 yen, or US dollars of the same value, is fine!"

Qian Hao didn't think about it, obviously he had planned it long ago.

"20 yen? You are really a lion!"

Kawamoto murmured and sneered:

"You have to know that the monthly salary of the Imperial Army Colonel is only 370 yen."

"Under the circumstances that a general does not need to eat or drink a dollar, he needs to work for 45 years to earn 20 yen."

"Why do you think your intelligence can have such value? Isn't it absolutely outrageous?"

Apparently Kawamoto felt that the price was too high, obviously beyond the range he could afford.

"Big man, is it worth the price?" Qian Hao looked confident, he didn't believe that Kawamoto would not give in after hearing this.

Kawamoto was startled, although he tried his best to restrain himself, the muscles on his face still trembled uncontrollably.

This is definitely a large-scale goal.

A real big fish.

If it is really possible to arrest or kill people of this level.

Then the impact in North China and even the whole country will definitely be explosive.

Just listen to Qian Hao continuing: "According to reliable information, the chief will pass through Lincheng County in the near future."

"I have specific routes and escort information in my hand."

"As long as I get the money, I can immediately provide relevant information to the imperial army."

"I have played for the Imperial Army so many times. There is no reason to cheat on such a big event. What's more, I hope to settle in Japan after I get the money."

"If I become a great hero assisting the imperial army, I don't think my life will be too sad after I arrive in Japan."

What Qian Hao said made Kawamoto doubt him even more.

But he felt that this matter was of great importance, and it was far beyond his control as a little captain.

sidewalk:

"You wait here for a while, I'll go ask Lieutenant Okamoto for instructions, and I'll be right back."

After a quarter of an hour, Kawamoto panted and returned to the private room, and brought a small suitcase:

"Lieutenant Okamoto has agreed to your request. This is [-] yen in cash. You can take it away after you provide specific information."

"Lieutenant Okamoto said that you need your assistance. After the operation is completed, I will give you the remaining 15 yen."

Qian Hao opened the suitcase, took out a stack of banknotes, put it in front of his nose and took a few deep breaths, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

But his mind was extremely clear, and he expressed his concerns:

"I'm afraid that at the end of the day, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the running dog should be cooked. I'm not going to get the rest of the money."

Qian Hao understands the Japanese way of doing things too well, if he agrees, there is a high probability that he will be killed in the end.

Chuanben laughed and said, "The reason why I ask you to assist me is because the matter is of great importance and no mistakes can be tolerated."

"Nakamoto Okamoto expected that you would have such worries, and ordered someone to set off from Xing City to bring the flag of our alliance to you."

"In this case, what else do you have to worry about?"

The flag of the Japanese army is only available to the wing.

In 1874, Emperor Meiji personally presented the flag to the 1st and 2nd Guards Wings in Tokyo.

Every flag of the Japanese army was issued and signed by the Emperor of Japan when it was formed to show its sense of honor.

For the Japanese army who worked part-time in the wing.

If the alliance is there, the flag is there, but if the alliance is not, the flag is gone.

Therefore, the Japanese army attaches great importance to the alliance flag and requires that every unit must live and die with the military flag.

For the Japanese army that is about to face defeat, it will burn its own flag.

And once the wing flag is seized by the enemy, all the officers of the wing headquarters need to apologize by cutting open their stomachs.

Therefore, the Japanese flag is a spiritual symbol, more important than life.

Handing over the alliance flag to Qian Hao is equivalent to handing over Okamoto's life to him.

Qian Hao can completely entrust a middleman, if something happens to him.

Whether the intermediary destroyed the alliance flag or handed it over to the Chinese army, the blow to Okamoto would be fatal.

Obviously, Qian Hao understood this, and he stood up and bowed to Kawamoto:

"Hi! Thank you, Lieutenant Commander Okamoto, for trusting me!"

"I will definitely assist the imperial army to complete this operation, please rest assured!"

The next day.

Noon on the day of the escort mission operation.

Wang Liang listened to the work progress of the heads of each company at the battalion headquarters of the independent battalion.

Chen Feng first reported: "We even carried out reconnaissance on Yanjiazhuang, Nianziyu, and Chengjiazhuang."

"And set up seven observation posts and dispersed them into five mobile groups to stand by in this area."

"So far, no special cases have been found."

"The observation posts must not wear military uniforms, carry short guns, and don't expose them." Wang Liang urged.

Sun Chenghai continued: "The investigation of Nanchang, Shimen, and Huanglinggou has been completed, and everything is normal."

Zhou Weiguo also said: "We conducted a survey of the enemy's forces in the defense line of the Banbangou."

"About half a company of puppet troops, about 40 people, plus five devils."

"A gun tower and three bunkers have been built on the Banbangou defense line, lined up."

"In addition, a trench nearly [-] meters long was dug, and ten people were on duty during the day."

"At night, the number of people will be reduced by half, and the guards will be more relaxed."

After thinking for a while, Wang Liang said: "Well, no matter how small the enemy is, if you can't shoot, then never shoot."

"In case of any outstanding situation, try to use cold weapons to solve it. Don't I have two bows and crossbows? Bring them."

Wang Liang suddenly thought that the two bows and crossbows rewarded to him by the system were about to fall to ashes there, and it was time to use them.

"Remember, this mission is not combat."

"The purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to cover the chief to pass through the enemy's line of defense safely and smoothly."

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

Wang Liang's eyes fell on Meng Fan and Qian Hao, and asked:
"Deputy company commander Meng and platoon leader Qian, how is your work going?"

Meng Fanxian said: "Reporting to the battalion commander, I have mobilized the security eyes and ears previously developed in the surrounding areas of Lincheng County to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese and puppet."

"So far, the devils and the puppet army have not made any changes, and everything is stable."

Although Qian Hao was very upset about being called "Paichang Qian", but thinking about the 15 yen he had already got and the [-] yen he was about to get, he endured it.

He thinks that the two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are very good.

Choose one of them to buy a villa, marry a Japanese woman, and live a life free from war.

If you have enough time in Japan, you can also go to the United States.

Anyway, 20 yen is enough to squander the rest of your life.

Thinking of this, Qian Hao felt relieved:

"The deputy company commander of the puppet army in the Banbangou stronghold is called Rong Shangwu, and he has dealt with him many times when he was in the armed forces."

"Yesterday I went to the city to treat him to a meal and gave him a favor."

"Tell him that we may need to transport a batch of supplies in the next week, and ask him to raise his hand."

"Rong Shangwu was very cooperative and said hello to him before we pass."

"He can get all the devils in the stronghold drunk like before, and we can swagger through the defense line and enter the territory of Shishi."

Yin Hua introduced to Wang Liang from the side: "We used to do this when it came to crossing missions. This Rong Shangwu has cooperated more than once and has never made a mistake."

Wang Liang was overjoyed, stood up very satisfied, walked to Qian Hao's side, and patted him on the shoulder:

"I said yes, old Qian, I really have you!"

"It's too much for you to be a platoon leader. Are you a deputy company platoon leader now?"

"Don't do it. After the mission is over, report to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou's special agent company. There is still a vacant instructor there, and you will be in charge."

If this had happened two days ago, Qian Hao would have been ecstatic when he heard the news.

But today, when he heard Wang Liang say this, he was not happy at all.

Instead, the last bit of guilt was gone, replaced by resentment.

"Thank you battalion commander."

Qian Hao thanked him, but his fists under the table were clenched even tighter.

Eleven o'clock at night.

Under Wang Liang's anxious waiting, the person finally arrived.

"Security Officer Chen Benqing."

"Hello! Wang Liang, the battalion commander of the 386th Brigade Independent Battalion, reports to you!" Wang Liang saluted.

Chen Wenqing introduced to Wang Liang the man next to him who was wearing a woolen coat and covered tightly with a scarf, saying:

"Wang Battalion Commander, let me introduce you, this is the chief who needs you to perform the escort mission."

Wang Liang hurriedly saluted: "Hi sir!"

The chief was very kind and offered to shake hands with Wang Liang.

Sound like a bell:

"Hello! Battalion Commander Wang."

"Brigade Commander Chen has mentioned you to me several times. The battle was fought very well, with great ideas and creativity."

"I just didn't expect it to be such a young brat!"

"Tonight, I will work hard on you!"

The chief actually knew himself, and even praised him so much.

Wang Liang was flattered even more, and couldn't help but burst into tears for a while.

Even though he was a human being in two lifetimes, Wang Liang was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing what to say.

Chen Benqing raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and asked for instructions:

"Chief, it's getting late, we should set off."

"The comrades from the 716 regiment are still waiting for us in Zanhuang County, Shishi City."

"Okay! Let's go, don't let the comrades wait too long." The chief said.

Seeing this, Wang Liang waved quickly, and two trucks drove over.

The driver of the first car was Sun Shulin, who was in charge of opening the way.

The driver of the rear car was Zhou Weiguo, who was good at driving and was responsible for carrying the chief.

Seeing that Wang Liang actually used a truck as a means of transportation, Chen Benqing was a little surprised:
"Good guy, isn't it a little too flamboyant to use this to escort the chief to cross the road, and you won't encounter any trouble on the way?"

Wang Liang explained with a smile:
"The soldiers on the first car were all dressed in Japanese military uniforms, and the driver who drove the car could speak Japanese very well."

"Director Chen, just rest assured, I have already made arrangements."

Hearing this, Chen Benqing's worries were dispelled, and he felt relieved.

After the chief boarded the car, Wang Liang said to the soldiers who had assembled and participated in the escort mission:
"Everyone must be vigilant and protect the safety of the chief."

"No one is allowed to lift the tarpaulin on the road, and those who violate the military law will do so."

"Start boarding!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers changed their shotguns and were equipped with all Wang Liang brand submachine guns, plus a shell gun.

There are also grenades and mortars.

Wang Chengzhu held a bazooka in case of emergency.

In this way, the two trucks set off one after the other.

Ditch line of defense.

Inside the gun tower.

The deputy company commander of the puppet army who was originally on duty has long been replaced.

Although the soldiers inside were still wearing the uniforms of the security forces, they were actually Japanese soldiers.

Okamoto Temple attached great importance to this arrest operation, and personally ran from Xing City to the defense line of Jiabangou in Lincheng County to supervise the battle.

"Sir, everything has been arranged. As long as the eight routes approach our defense line, they will never come back!"

With the last reprimand, Masaru Kawamoto did not call the senior this time, but directly called the officer.

Okamoto reminded: "Well, it's better to catch as much as possible."

"Whether it's that important person or Wang Liang, the value of a living person is far greater than that of a dead person."

"understand!"

Kawamoto asked again: "Sir, what should the civet cat do after the operation is over?"

"We really paid him 15 yen and let him go away?"

Okamoto smiled sullenly: "That's too cheap for him, isn't it?"

"But, the United flag is still in his hand!" Kawamoto has been worried about this matter.

I really don't understand how the senior dares to hand over his life to Qian Hao.

Although Qian Hao is reliable, if the alliance flag accidentally falls into the hands of others, it will be a huge catastrophe.

"You don't really think that I would be stupid enough to give the United flag to a Chinese who has no faith and is greedy for money?" Okamoto asked back.

Kawamoto suddenly realized: "So the alliance flag for Tanuki is fake?!"

"That's too realistic, I didn't even see it!"

Okamoto said proudly: "Except for the forged signature of His Majesty the Emperor, there is no difference between the military flag and the real one."
