My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 119 These days of prosperity!

"Both of them were killed!"

At noon the next day, shopkeeper Yao Ji received the tip.

The chief of staff of the North China Front's First Army in Taiyuan, Colonel Teng Yinan, and the deputy chief of staff, Colonel Kaeda Yuan'er, were attacked by explosions late yesterday night and were both killed.

He has been lurking in Yangquan for several years. Although he has been staying at a fringe liaison station, he still has many channels for collecting intelligence, especially information about the Japs headquarters.

Logically, this kind of information should be kept secret.

But the No. 20 Ninth Brigade was, after all, a third-class unit of the Japanese. It was also the first time for them to experience such a thing, and they lacked experience in dealing with it, so the news spread quickly.

"Wanlin..."

Although he has experienced many comrade sacrifices, shopkeeper Yao Ji still finds it hard to calm down every time.

Another comrade fell on the road of resistance!

After he secretly sent the message, he returned to the soy sauce shop and first checked the grenade fuse under the table. Then he entered the attic and checked the hidden shell gun. The shell gun was not suitable for lurkers like them. It was too big and difficult to carry around. Without being discovered by the Japanese, even though this time it is a short barrel ten-round fixed magazine model, it is still much larger than other pistols.

But there is no way, the superiors can currently provide this kind of shell gun.

Then shopkeeper Yao Ji checked the hidden location of the radio station again.

Then, he took a deep breath, returned to the shop, and continued to stick to his post.

Touching the fuse on the leg of the table, shopkeeper Yao Ji sighed quietly - when will it be his turn?

···
"Wan Lin."

Shen Sheng received the news in the afternoon.

Also received was his order to retreat.

He was silent for a long time.

Shen Sheng looked back on the period of time when he and Niu Wanlin knew each other. It was not a long time, less than half a year, about five months to be precise.

Suddenly he realized that he had always looked down on Niu Wanlin.

Not contempt,

But a kind of pride.

He is a college student who graduated from a famous foreign university. He has participated in the battle in the Iberian Peninsula. He has extensive knowledge, can drive a car and even a tank, and can speak five languages.

And what about Niu Wanlin?
Even literacy was taught by shopkeeper Yao Ji.

He also tends to be impulsive when doing things. He spends all day yelling and fighting against the Japanese, and has no brains.

The only talent that made him raise eyebrows was that he actually learned a lot of Japanese, and then worked in the stables of the Japanese headquarters, which was very suitable for spying on Japanese intelligence.

But at this moment,
Shen Sheng suddenly discovered that he was actually the one who had no brains.

As a person lurking in the rear, he is actually unqualified and too sharp. In work and daily life, he often shows off his knowledge and abilities, which leads to the necessity of retreat this time.

And what about Niu Wanlin?
Careless, impulsive and reckless, even he thought this person was not suitable for lurking work, but it happened that such a person lurked in the stable next to the Japanese headquarters for half a year, constantly collecting intelligence from the Japanese headquarters.

Hejin Squadron.

Nishino Squadron.

This information was all obtained by Niu Wanlin.

None of the Japanese were discovered.

Moreover, two Japanese senior officials were successfully attacked and killed last night.

And he, a top student, has actually achieved nothing so far.

···
"The attacker's name is Niu Wanlin. He is a handyman in the headquarters stables and is responsible for cleaning the stables and raising horses."

Under heavy pressure, the Japanese moved extremely quickly.

That night, most of Niu Wanlin's background was investigated.

"This man lives on Spring Street near the headquarters."

"My hometown is Tuo Village, Ping County, Yangquan."

"Six months ago, his father was shot to death in the street because he maliciously blocked the search by the locust army."

Kotani Matsugata's face suddenly turned dark:
"You asked the family members of the rebels to raise horses in the stables next to the headquarters?"

"Hey, it was a dereliction of duty."

The Japanese Major in charge of the headquarters' security suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

If he is investigated, he will be dismissed from his post and investigated, and it will be normal for him to commit suicide by caesarean section.

"go on."

Kotani Matsubarada asked the staff to continue the report.

The staff officer continued:

"After investigation, it was found that this person has almost no relatives or friends in Yangquan. He is unmarried and has always been alone. There is no connection between this person and the underground organization lurking in Yangquan."

"I have an impulsive personality."

"The source of the weapon has not yet been identified, but analysis of the fragments suggests it is a German-made grenade."

"Germany makes grenades."

Kotani Matsugata's face turned dark.

Starting in April, a large number of German-made grenades leaked out, causing the security environment in North China, especially in Shanxi, to suddenly become very bad. Imperial merchants and transport teams were often attacked by grenades.

The source of these grenades is Tubal Road.

"Has this person's hometown been investigated?"

Kotani Matsuharada continued to ask.

Although current evidence shows that this was not a well-organized attack by Tubal Road, but just a private attack on the Locust Army.

But is it possible?

Kotani Matsuharada didn't believe it.

Things have already happened. If the Yangquan underground organization can be extracted, the punishment from the superiors can be reduced.

"Investigated."

The staff officer replied:

"Three months ago, this person's family moved away from Tuo Village, Ping County, and their specific whereabouts are unknown."

"Is your destination unknown?"

Kotani Matsubaraeda narrowed her eyes:

"Let the secret service cooperate with the investigation."

"Investigate in detail the whereabouts of this person in Yangquan, find out those who have been in contact with him, find out the whereabouts of this person's family members, and the people who helped transfer the family members."

"Hi!"

The staff officer went to execute it immediately.

"General, the phone number of the headquarters."

Kotani Matsubaraeda, who was originally looking gloomy, suddenly changed his expression, hesitated for a moment, and then walked to the phone room.

···
in the corner.Ogami watched Kotani Matsubaraeda leave, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly touched the right side of his face.

Although more than ten hours had passed, his face was still burning with pain—last night he was slapped from left to right by two chiefs of staff, causing him to vomit blood.

"idiot!"

At this time, people in the courtyard left one after another, and until there was no one there, O Shangchi breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his voice and cursed Baga to vent his dissatisfaction.

"The general asked you to take over the job of the groom."

"Responsible for raising horses and cleaning stables."

Suddenly, a second lieutenant from the brigade headquarters came over and said arrogantly to the male superior.

"Hi!"

Ogami is a lieutenant, but in front of him is just a second lieutenant.

But who knew that at this time, Oshangchi was just a polished officer who had escaped and had no real power, so he could only bow his head and take it.

"waste."

"The chief of staff and deputy chief of staff are both in pieces. Why are you still alive?"

"coward."

The second lieutenant from the brigade headquarters cursed openly before leaving.

"idiot!"

The male Shangzhi lowered his head and did not dare to speak, but his fists were clenched tightly.

What did he do wrong?

Can you blame him for these things?

If he doesn't break out, can he hold the Xiazhuang stronghold?If he didn't retreat, wouldn't the Shandao Regiment be completely wiped out?He died last night, how could the two chiefs of staff survive?
Why is everyone targeting him?
Is it because his power is not high enough?

Although the male Shangzhi honestly began to clean the stables, sweep the horse manure, and prepare fodder, the fire in his heart had already begun to start a prairie fire.

···
"The Japanese will definitely follow the clues and investigate."

"Although Wan Lin hid his family in the countryside, he couldn't hide it from the Japs for long. After all, this is the Japs' territory."

"So, I suggest that Wan Lin's family be transferred to the base area."

that night.

The action team from the Independent Regiment made suggestions to shopkeeper Yao Ji before retreating.

"it is good."

Shopkeeper Yao Ji immediately nodded in agreement:

"I'll make arrangements."

"His family of five is now in my hometown of Wangjiazhuang."

Before finally leaving.

"Aren't you going to leave together?"

Shen Sheng couldn't help but ask.

Although their confidentiality measures were in place and they met with Niu Wanlin at temporary contact points, and they entered in batches and never met directly, the Japanese were at risk of being discovered if they investigated at all levels.

"Yangquan needs a contact point, I must stick here."

"I'd rather be here, too."

"It's so easy for a kid to find me."

Shopkeeper Yao Ji replied with a smile:

"You are different. You have studied in college, can drive, and can fly a plane. You are not suitable for lurking in enemy-occupied areas. The base area is where you can show your abilities."

"be careful."

Shen Sheng stood at attention and saluted.

"Comrade Yao Qingguo."

A soldier from the independent regiment suddenly said, and he also called out the name of shopkeeper Yao Ji:

"Please remember the words of our leader."

"The material situation of our troops has improved."

"What we lack most is actually talent."

"As long as the people are still there, if the radio station is lost, the superiors can immediately replace it. If the communication station is lost, it can be built back. But if the people are sacrificed, it will not be so easy to replace it."

"it is good!"

Shopkeeper Yao Ji nodded seriously.

···
Also at the same time.

Yang Village.

"Hahaha···"

The brigade commander, brigade chief of staff, and the deputy general staff who rushed over quickly looked at the 50 silver dollars piled in the warehouse behind Yangcun, and they all laughed wildly.

A silver dollar weighs a little more than 26 grams.

50 pieces,

That’s thirteen tons!

When such a huge pile of silver dollars was placed in front of him, even the deputy general staff couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Organize a transport team immediately."

The Deputy General Staff thought of the telegram received yesterday and immediately said:

"Transport these 50 silver dollars to the Jinan base area."

"Their financial system has been hit hard by the Japanese and needs time to recover."

"Also, transport [-] silver dollars to the underground organization in Beiping, so that they can buy new newspaper rotary printing presses, photographic equipment, ink, and newsprint."

"Other bases that urgently need these equipment and materials can also purchase them together."

"There is also Mount Wutai, which also transports 50, no, [-] silver dollars directly."

"That's the head office of the bank in the base area, and we need funds to stabilize the border currency."

"and also···"

At this moment, the deputy general staff deeply realized how comfortable it felt to be wealthy.

There is no need to fiddle with the capital budget, just allocate funds according to needs.

"Ha ha····"

"These days of affluence are really exciting."

After appropriating 150 million silver dollars in one breath, and then thinking that there are still 150 million silver dollars that can be used, and 300 million next month, the deputy general staff couldn't help laughing happily.

　The desert is too cold, so make up for it during the day...
