Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 1: Got lost in the journey?

1940 October.

Jinzhong area, Liuzhuang stronghold in Yangquan County.

Even though it had been two and a half days since he traveled through time, Xu Yang still hadn't figured out how his soul had traveled to the world of Bright Sword.

It's enough to travel through time, but how could I travel through time and become a puppet soldier?

He meows!
I have been an extra in Hengdian for two and a half years and participated in the filming of hundreds of anti-Japanese war dramas. All the characters I played were puppet soldiers and traitors. Their bodies were lying all over Hengdian, and I was proficient in all kinds of ways of dying.

Even if he is not a member of the Eighth Route Army after traveling through time, he should be given the identity of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. But he turned out to be a puppet army and a traitor!

Is it because my posture of traveling through time is wrong, or is it that I was born to be a puppet soldier?

It is impossible for a puppet soldier to be a puppet soldier. As a time traveler, Xu Yang is well aware of the direction of history. In more than five years, the Japanese will surrender unconditionally. If he insists on going all the way to the end, he will definitely be liquidated in the end.

Moreover, as a descendant of the Sichuan Army, it was impossible for him to be a running dog for the Japanese.

Therefore, he must start a new life, make meritorious deeds, and fight the Japanese!
However, at the moment, no matter whether he joined the Eighth Route Army or the National Army, he could only be a soldier or a platoon leader at most.

The role it can play is very limited, at least it is difficult to have much impact on the war of resistance.

What he wanted was not just to wait for the wheel of history to move forward, but the unconditional surrender of the Japanese in August 1945.

Instead, you should use your abilities as a time traveler to kill as many Japanese as possible, instead of letting the Japanese who have committed blood debts surrender and then return intact.

Only dead devils are good devils!
Therefore, Xu Yang had a bold idea, which was to continue to replace the identity of this body, lurking inside the Japanese and puppet troops, and provide useful intelligence and material support to the Eighth Route Army or the National Army.

Save the country by taking a detour!

At this time, a puppet soldier with a crooked hat ran in from outside, saluted Xu Yang in a mournful manner and reported: "Captain, it's not good."

Xu Yang looked at the person who came and asked unhappily, "What happened?"

Shi Yibiao said: "Taijun Richuan has assigned us another two tons of tasks, saying that if we can't sell them within half a month, not only will our military pay continue to be suspended, but we will also be fined.

We didn’t sell even a pound of our previous three tons of fertilizer powder, and now we have received two more tons. What should we do?”

When Shi Yibiao thought about having his military salary suspended and being fined, his face became filled with worry and he was almost crying.

Ever since they started selling fertilizer powder, their military salaries were stopped. Without money, their wives no longer let them get into bed with them.

It has been almost a month. Do you know how he managed to get through this month?
Fertilizer powder, also known as chemical fertilizer.

As the war dragged on and the front line lengthened, the disadvantages of Japan's insufficient war potential began to gradually emerge, and the logistical pressure became increasingly greater.

In addition to the gradual reduction in the Japanese soldiers' wages, which eventually turned into arrears, the Japanese in various places even had to raise food and wages on their own.

As a result, these devils began to use all kinds of tricks, and in addition to robbing and forcing donations, they also did some business.

The Japanese sold fertilizer powder not only to make money from the harvest to subsidize the military finances, but also to increase local grain production. During the autumn harvest, they would launch another wave of raids and looting.

This is really killing two birds with one stone!
Unfortunately, imagination is rich but reality is cruel.

Years of war have left countless ordinary people homeless and homeless, and some are so poor that they are almost eating dirt. How can they afford to buy fertilizer powder?

If you have money to buy this stuff, you might as well buy some food to eat first. Otherwise, who knows whether you can live to see the day when the food is ripe.

As for the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, it is even more impossible to buy them.

Of course, if the Eighth Route Army knew that the fertilizer contained ingredients for making high explosives, it would be a different matter.

Although Xu Yang was not an excellent student, he had completed nine years of compulsory education and was particularly interested in international affairs, especially war.

The so-called one nitrate, two sulfur, three charcoal, add a little sugar to make big Ivan. As long as the Eighth Route Army knew that fertilizer powder could be used to make high explosives, they would not worry about not being able to sell it, and it could also help the Eighth Route Army improve its strength to fight the devils.

This is the real case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

But the problem is that Xu Yang didn't know exactly how to use fertilizer to make explosives, and the Eighth Route Army might not believe what he said.

Also, where can he find the Eighth Route Army?
If the Eighth Route Army was so easy to find, they would have been wiped out by the Japanese long ago.

At this moment, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in Xu Yang's mind:

"Ding! It is detected that the host intends to lurk inside the enemy to save the country. The strongest undercover system has been activated. Complete the spy mission and you will get a generous reward."

"System binding in progress, 3, 2, 1... Binding successful, one chance to draw a special prize, would you like to draw the prize immediately?"

System? A benefit for time travelers!
Without thinking, Xu Yang shouted, "Draw a prize!"

Then, a virtual lottery machine appeared in front of him.

Huh? This thing looks familiar? Isn't this the slot machine that cost him two and a half years of filming salary and caused his favorite technician to run away with someone else?

Damn! I have traveled through time, and you are still messing with me like this, is that appropriate?

What’s even more fucked up is that the prize on top is completely invisible.

This is a blind draw!
System, do you dare to cheat me any further?

The upper right corner of the lottery machine shows the remaining number of draws: a red Arabic numeral 1.

It doesn’t cost any money anyway, and at most it will just be a false alarm!
Xu Yang didn't think any more and punched the start button under the slot machine.

All I heard was the familiar background sound of a slot machine.

The lottery screen jumped quickly, first accelerating suddenly, then gradually slowing down. When the red light representing the winning was approaching the key with "Good luck", Xu Yang immediately slapped the screen hard, like a gambler, and shouted excitedly: "Stop, stop, stop! Stop, stop for me!"

As a veteran slot machine player with two and a half years of experience, Xu Yang knows very well that once the light stops on this key position, it often means winning a jackpot.

Three small dollars, big three dollars, a train, or even half a screen or the entire screen is possible with the bonus!
Only when the winning light stops on this key position can you win the grand prize or multiple prizes.

Of course, there is another possibility, which is that your money will be eaten directly by the slot machine without any return.

But even so, gamblers still hope that the light ball can stop on this key position every time they hit the target. The feeling of winning multiple prizes or even super prizes is so addictive that people can't stop.

"The train is starting, woo woo woo—"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Yang's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "Longer, make the train longer!"

The train carriages came out from the key with "Good luck" written on it one by one, first accelerating continuously and then gradually stopping. A series of festive firecrackers sounded in Xu Yang's mind, like the sound of winning the lottery.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the host for his great luck. He has won a manual on how to use fertilizers to make high explosives, a manual on how to use Laiyang seamless steel pipes to modify flying thunder cannons, a manual on how to use Laiyang seamless steel pipes to modify Hamas rockets, a Leica camera, and a box of film."

"The prize will be automatically stored in the host's personal space. Recite silently to access it."

"Warm reminder: Items not produced by the system cannot be stored."

Xu Yang was overjoyed. The good luck he had accumulated for two and a half years finally paid off at this moment.

He ignored the other two manuals and the Leica camera, and quickly turned his attention to the instruction manual on how to make high explosives from fertilizers in his personal space. He saw the entire process marked in detail on it.

Simply put, you put the fertilizer in a pot and boil it, then add saltpeter, sulfur, rice bran, sawdust and other ingredients while stirring until it becomes viscous, then spread it out to dry, and finally use a stone mill to crush it into powder, and the high explosive is ready...
