Xiao Yanyue said: "Captain, if there are no bullets, our Hanyang-made, Chinese-made, Czech-imitation and Maxim's have all turned into fire sticks. Tell me what to do about this?"
"I've already thought about this." Xu Rui said, "I'm afraid it will still fall on the 59th Army."
"The 59th Army?" Xiao Yanyue disagreed. "The 59th Army is now solely supporting the Huaihe River defense line. Their own ammunition is probably very tight. How can they have spare ammunition for us?"
"We don't want them in vain. We exchange them for Japanese weapons and ammunition." Xu Rui said, "Didn't they seize a whole regiment's worth of Japanese weapons and equipment in Hai'an last time? Without bullets, these Japanese weapons and equipment are all Burning fire sticks, now that we are sending them much-needed ammunition, shouldn’t they show something?”
Xiao Yanyue said: "But captain, we don't have much Japanese weapons and ammunition."
"I said, Yanzi, don't be so obsessed with money, okay?" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. After a while, I will get you a truckload of Japanese ammunition. If you don't do it well, I can still make trouble for you. Come back from the arsenal."
"Captain, I will remember your words." Xiao Yanyue heard this, and her beautiful eyes immediately lit up. There used to be a small arsenal in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area, and Xiao Yanyue once took people there. This arsenal had delivered fire and saltpeter, and I was deeply impressed by the rows of guns and boxes of grenades in the factory.
Xu Rui turned back to Leng Tiefeng and said, "Veteran, do you hear me?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "You boasted about Haikou, what does it have to do with me?"
"Hey, hey, hey, you two haven't even gotten along yet, so you're talking about the same thing?" Xu Rui joked, "Okay, when you get married one day, I'll really build an arsenal to give you a congratulatory gift."
Xiao Yanyue glanced at Leng Tiefeng, with a blush on her pretty face, and said: "Captain, you are a gentleman. A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Okay, let alone four horses, it's hard to catch up with eight horses."
Xiao Yanyue snorted proudly, and then said: "But now, let's go to the 59th Army to get the ammunition back."
"I have to do this in person. Last time I accepted their love in Hai'an and didn't thank Master Xiang in person, I feel bad enough. If I don't show up this time, it would be too rude." After saying this, Xu Rui turned around again He said to Leng Tiefeng, "You go and summon the special operations team, and we'll leave after loading the ammunition into the truck. We'll pass by pretending to be a Japanese transport team."
"Okay, I'll call in the special operations team right away." Leng Tiefeng turned around and left.
Xu Rui said to Xiao Yanyue again: "After I leave, you must be more vigilant, especially to prevent Japanese spies from infiltrating to spy on the news."
"Okay, captain, don't worry." Xiao Yanyue agreed.
Xu Rui just said it casually, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a prophecy. An old acquaintance of his had actually sneaked into Meizhen a long time ago.
This old acquaintance was Ogahara Junsi. After receiving the order from Shanshan Yuan, Ogahara Junsi immediately led the six combat staff who had been training with him, took off from Nanjing on an aviation corps transport plane, and then parachuted to Pu County. , after landing in Pu County, after just a short rest, Oluhara Junsi and his deputy Ito Tamanosuke pretended to be merchants and sneaked into Meizhen to spy on the news.
Just now, Oluhara Junsi witnessed the entire public trial.
Ogahara Junsi turned around and winked at Ito Tamanosuke who was behind him. Ito Tamanosuke paused slightly, and then silently followed Ogahara Junsi into a teahouse on the roadside.
Because Meizhen is located at the crossroads of the ancient Huizhou Merchant Road, merchants selling goods to western Hubei and southern Henan have stopped here since the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, there are many teahouses and restaurants along both sides of the commercial road. After the Japanese army invaded southern Anhui, most of them Teahouses and restaurants chose to be concerned to avoid the limelight for the time being. Now that the limelight has passed, they have resumed business one after another.
Seeing Ogawara Junsi and Ito Tamanosuke come in, the waiter immediately came up to them and greeted them with a smile: "Two guests, please come in quickly. The shop has good melon slices, Tieguanyin, and Longjing."
Okahara and Tamanosuke Ito were dressed as merchants, and the waiter mistook them for merchants selling goods.
"Let's have a pot of Liu'an melon slices." Xiaoluhara Junsi spoke with a fluent Beijing accent. While talking about celebration, he and Tamanosuke Ito walked to the window seat and sat down, taking off the wide-brimmed hat on his head. It was placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, and his words and deeds were exactly the same as those of an authentic Chinese businessman.
"Hey, your guest is from Peiping, right?" The waiter immediately asked in surprise.
Xiaoluyuan Junsi smiled and said, "I plan to come here to purchase Liu'an melon slices."
"Then it's an unlucky time for you to come." The waiter was a familiar person. He took the rag from his shoulder and wiped the table quickly while keeping saying, "There's a war going on here."
Oluhara Junsi said casually: "Don't be afraid of war. If there is no war, we won't come."
The waiter's hand that was wiping the table suddenly stopped, but Oluhara Junsi pretended not to see anything, and said to himself: "Only when there is a war and no one takes this business route, can we brothers make a lot of money from him." One stroke, there is a saying, a horse will not grow fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall, don't you think so?"
"Objectively, you are the one." The waiter gave a thumbs up.
Oluhara Junsi threw a piece of ocean to the waiter and asked: "There was a lot of noise outside just now. What were you doing?"
"Just now, there was a public trial." The waiter stretched out his hand to catch the silver coins falling from the sky, grinning from ear to ear.
"Public trial meeting? Who will be tried? Who will try?" Oluhara Junsi asked, "Didn't the Nationalist Government run away long ago?"
"I don't know objectively." When talking about the public trial just now, the waiter immediately became energetic, and there were no other businessmen in the teahouse anyway, so he stood nearby and spoke eloquently, "Although the Nationalist Government ran away, But what kind of ** democratic government came, oh, by the way, it’s called the Anti-Japanese Democratic Government.”
"Let me tell you, this anti-Japanese democratic government is amazing. It arrested Hong Jiugong, Liu Heiqi and Randeng Taoist priests as soon as they came. These three men used to be the most powerful people in Meizhen and even Pu County. There was a loud noise, and every time they stamped their feet, we in Meizhen trembled, but in the end, they were still shot to death."
"Incredible, this is really incredible, our Meizhen will really change from now on."
Oluhara Junsi asked again: "This ** dares to arrest people and kill people for no reason?"
"How could it be for no reason?" the waiter said, "These three men cooperated with the Japanese and deserved to be killed."
Oluhara Junsi thought to himself that he finally got to the point, and then said calmly: "Since Hong Jiugong and the others are cooperating with the Japanese, the Japanese will not care if the Japanese kill them?"
"No matter what, why don't you care?" the waiter said repeatedly, "The Japanese sent a gendarmerie brigade over, but it was of no use, and everyone was wiped out. Just over Shaqiao Gang, the gunshots rang out for a whole day. In the afternoon, it was like beans popping under the pot, crackling, crackling, crackling... "
"Stop it, stop it." Junsi Xiaoluhara took out his handkerchief and wiped the spit on his face, and then asked, "Is this team so good? I heard Xiaonipanzi is pretty good at fighting. How many times?" Thousands of Japanese soldiers can fight against tens of thousands of Japanese troops. How many people do these Japanese troops need to be able to annihilate a Japanese gendarmerie?"
"Actually, there aren't many people." The waiter scratched his head and said, "Only six to seven hundred people."
"Are you kidding me?" Oluhara Junsi said, "Six hundred or seven hundred people can annihilate a Japanese brigade?"
"Sir, I'm really not kidding you." The waiter was unhappy and retorted loudly, "What is the name of this team in **? Yes, it's called Dameishan Independent Brigade. They are very powerful in fighting, especially them. There was a sharpshooter in the middle. That day they blocked the Japs at the Mei Family Ancestral Hall. The Japs threw melon grenades outside. He hit one when he threw one, and he hit a pair when he threw two. In the end, he was stunned that not a single grenade could be thrown outside. All the Japs bombed the Japs on their own. Okay, I really saw this scene at that time, but you guys can tell me, is it awesome?"
"Blow up the grenades thrown by the Japanese? That's really powerful." Ogawara Shunsuke turned to look at each other and Ito Tamanosuke, both of them saw a hint of awe in each other's eyes. This marksmanship was so powerful among the most elite close-quarters of the Japanese army. It is also rare among the Guards Corps. This requires not only Zhuo's gun sense, but also many years of hard training.
Okahara Junsi has basically collected all the information he wants. For example, Kameda's military police should have rushed to the rescue of Meizhen in order to rescue the small troops trapped in the Mei family ancestral hall, but they were captured by Dameishan. The Independent Brigade was completely wiped out, and then the Dameishan Independent Brigade took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack on Pu County.
However, there is still one most critical piece of information that has not yet been collected.
At that moment, Oluhara Junsi said again: "It's just one person. No matter how good his marksmanship is, he can't destroy a whole army of Japanese soldiers, right?"
"A person? Of course not." The waiter said loudly, "I'm telling you, it's a group of people. That day Hong Jiugong and others originally wanted to execute the unruly people who resisted the donation. There were not only more than a hundred people from the security team at the scene, but also There were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers standing guard, but only a few of them came, and in a blink of an eye, they were all knocked down."
"A group of people?" Oluhara Junsi asked casually.
"A group of people." The waiter replied firmly, "There must be seven or eight people."
Oluhara Junsi had already got all the information he wanted, and immediately said: "Okay, I have said so much, my mouth is dry, hurry up and bring me some melon slices."
"Okay, just wait."
The waiting room was in a state of shock.
Ito Tamanosuke covered his face with a wide-brimmed hat and whispered: "Okahara-san, we have collected almost all the information about this Gamagian incident. Should we go back?"
"Don't rush back yet." Oluhara Junsi said, "We still have to take two people back."
"Take two people back?" Ito Tamanosuke said blankly, "Who are they?"
"They are the two people who were sentenced to ten years of hard labor in the public trial just now." Oluhara Junsi said, "I was thinking that these two people should be of great use to the imperial army."
Tamanosuke Ito nodded and said nothing.
Because the waiter has already come over with a teapot. (To be continued.)
