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

at noon.

Xu Yang led the men of the Independent Third Battalion and successfully arrived at the city of Pingding.

The Japanese guarding the city gate immediately recognized Xu Yang, opened the gate and welcomed him in, and at the same time called the captain of the brigade headquarters, Hikawa Okazaka.

After receiving the report, Hikawa Okazaka immediately rushed out along the street.

"Brother-in-law, I've been worried sick since I couldn't get in touch with you. How would I explain to Kayoko if anything happened to you?"

When Hikawa Okazaka saw that Xu Yang was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yang quickly said, "Richuan Taijun, our base was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army last night, and the telephone line was cut off, so we can't get in touch."

"Sodesnai!" Hikawa Okazaka nodded and asked, "By the way, why did you come to Pingding County? How is your Taohe stronghold?"

Xu Yang: "Last night, the Taohe stronghold was attacked fiercely by the Eighth Route Army. Although our battalion tried its best to resist, the Taohe stronghold was still lost. If we hadn't fought desperately to carve out a bloody path, you might not have seen me."

"Oh? Really?"

Hikawa Okazaka was skeptical. Although Xu Yang and his men looked exhausted, they did not look like they had fought a fierce battle.

Not only are there almost no casualties in the team, there also seems to be no casualties.

At most it looked like a long march.

Xu Yang: “Yes.”

Just as Hikawa Okazaka was about to ask about the situation of the Kojima Squadron that followed Xu Yang to guard the Taohe stronghold, he heard Xu Yang continue, "The Kojima Squadron that followed us to guard the Taohe stronghold has all been killed in the Taohe stronghold in order to cover our battalion's transfer."

Hearing this, Hikawa Okazaka almost vomited blood. The Great Japanese Locust Army that they had just commanded would cover the lowly Imperial Army's breakout. What nonsense!
Most likely, Xu Yang saw that the situation was not right, so he led the Independent Third Battalion to abandon the island squadron and break out and escape.

This situation is very common among puppet troops.

Hikawa Okazaka has long been accustomed to it.

Hikawa Okazaka did not think there was anything wrong with Xu Yang's approach. On the contrary, he thought that Xu Yang's choice was the most correct.

What does the life or death of the people in Kojima Squadron have to do with Himikawa Okazaka?
Xu Yang is different. Not only did he save his life and help him get promoted, he is also his brother-in-law. They are family.

Even the Chinese are far more important to him than other Japanese.

As Hikawa Okazaka led Xu Yang to his headquarters, he said, "It's good that you have escaped. As far as I know, all the locust army strongholds from Yangquan to Niangzi Pass on the Zhengtai Line were captured last night, and all the defenders were killed.

You are the only ones who escaped from the several strongholds.

Even this morning, the damn Eighth Route Army attacked Yangquan County. Fortunately, our regiment commander was very brave and successfully defeated the Eighth Route Army and saved Yangquan."

Xu Yang said with a sullen face: "Taijun Richuan, Yangquan County has been lost, and all the locust soldiers guarding Yangquan County have been killed, including Lieutenant Commander Kasahara Koizumi."

Hikawa Okazaka paused, looking stunned and said, "What are you talking about, brother-in-law? You said that Yangquan County has been lost, and even Captain Kasahara died?"

"Yes." Xu Yang nodded heavily.

Hikawa Okazaka asked in confusion: "But the news I received clearly stated that the regiment commander had successfully defeated the Eighth Route Army."

Xu Yang: "Did the air force report this news to the 1st Army Headquarters after returning, and then the headquarters sent a telegram?"

"Yes." Hinakawa Okazaka nodded.

Xu Yang asked again: "Has the wing headquarters completely lost contact since dawn?"

"Yes." Hikawa Okazaka nodded again and asked, "Brother-in-law, how do you know these things?"

Xu Yang: "This is a long story. We will talk about it in detail after we get to the headquarters."

Hikawa Okazaka brought Xu Yang to his headquarters with a worried look on his face. He ordered the orderly to bring two cups of tea, closed the door, and asked impatiently, "Brother-in-law, what's going on? Now that there's no one around, you can tell me."

Xu Yang picked up the teacup with one hand, pinched the lid with the other hand and gently stirred it twice on the water surface. He took a sip of the tea and then slowly said, "To be honest, I actually came from Yangquan County."

Hikawa Okazaka was even more confused: "What? You came from Yangquan County, what's going on?"

Xu Yang: "Brother, what I am going to say next may subvert your perception, so you must be mentally prepared."

Hikawa Okazaka's heart skipped a beat, and he clearly felt that something bad was about to happen, but he still managed to remain calm and said, "You say."

Xu Yang: "I am actually an undercover agent in your army who is beating people up."

Hikawa Okazaka was horrified: "What? You are an undercover agent of the Eighth Route Army? This is impossible!"

Xu Yang: "This is true. The reason why I was able to sell the fertilizer powder is because the buyers were the Eighth Route Army, and the reason why the Eighth Route Army bought the fertilizer powder was because they knew the secret of using fertilizer powder to make high explosives.

Also, it was me who leaked the secret that your regiment attacked the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Prior to this, I was also the one who revealed to the Eighth Route Army the news that your Japanese army’s supplies were hijacked by the bandits in Heiyun Village.

As luck would have it, the supplies of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were also robbed by the bandits in Heiyun Village that day.

After receiving the news, the Eighth Route Army went straight to Heiyun Village and seized the supplies before the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and your Japanese army.

Then, the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and your Kasahara Regiment arrived late and collided with each other, which led to the subsequent series of battles.

This is also the real reason why your Kasahara Regiment defeated the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in Heiyun Mountain but could not find the lost supplies.

Because the supplies had already been seized by our Eighth Route Army in advance.

Also, the reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to successfully capture various strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway was because of the intelligence information I provided.

And I have to thank you, brother-in-law, and Kayoko for all this, otherwise, I would not have been able to get so much information so easily.

Moreover, last night, I assisted the Eighth Route Army in attacking an armored train at the Taohe stronghold and successfully hijacked it.

Then, we drove the armored train and attacked major strongholds including Niangzi Pass.

Finally, they attacked Yangquan.

By the time the air force finally arrived and flew over Yangquan, we had already captured Yangquan and wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

Those patrolling Japanese puppet troops and the national flag of your Japan that the air force saw were all deliberately disguised by us to confuse them and prevent air raids.

This is also the reason why your 1st Army Headquarters thought that the Kasahara Regiment had defeated our Eighth Route Army, but was unable to contact them. "

"Impossible! This is impossible! Nothing you said is true, you are lying to me, right?" Hinakawa Okazaka felt like he was struck by lightning, his head shaking like a rattle, his face full of disbelief.

Xu Yang: "Brother, at this point, is there any point in me lying to you?"

Hikawa Okazaka: "Then why did you risk your life to save me?"

Xu Yang: "In order to have a backer, in order to be a better undercover agent."

Hikawa Okazaka: "Why? Why did you do this? Why did you betray the Great Japanese Locust Army?"

Xu Yang: "What do you mean by betraying you Japanese? I am Chinese, okay? If I really serve you Japanese as a dog, then I will be the real betrayer!" Hikawa Okazaka looked ashen: "What about you to Kayoko?"

Xu Yang: “Love.”

Hikawa Okazaka: "What do you mean by suddenly telling me all this today? Do you want to kill me and take over Pingding County at the same time?"

"No." Xu Yang shook his head.

Hikawa Okazaka: "What do you mean?"

Xu Yang: "I want to develop you into a Japanese Communist Party member."

Hikawa Okazaka: "Develop me into a Japanese communist? You want me to betray our Great Japanese Empire and our Emperor Tianhuang?

I tell you, this is impossible.

Even if I commit seppuku, I will never betray the Empire of Japan or His Majesty the Heavenly Locust!"

Xu Yang sneered: "Your shitty empire, shitty locust, are they really worthy of your loyalty?"

Hikawa Okazaka: "I forbid you to slander the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty Tianhuang. Otherwise, don't blame me for fighting you to the death!"

After saying that, Hikawa Okazaka actually pulled out the gun from his waist.

Xu Yang was unmoved: "Brother-in-law, don't be so anxious. You have been in China for several years. Do you know the situation in your country and the changes in recent years?"

Hikawa Okazaka asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Yang: "As far as I know, the situation in Japan is not much better than that in China, right?"

After saying that, Xu Yang directly handed the document in his hand to Hinakawa Okazaka.

It seems that in order for Hinakawa Okazaka to understand it, the document not only has a Chinese version, but also a Japanese translation.

Hikawa Okazaka opened the document and looked at it for a while, then immediately shook his head: "Impossible! This is impossible! Our great Japanese Empire is extremely rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. How could there be starvation everywhere? People are starving to death!"

Xu Yang: "Brother-in-law, please stop deceiving yourself. Is Japan extremely rich? You are just a tiny country with no resources. You can't be self-sufficient at all. You need to import everything or plunder from other countries.

In recent years, the reason why your country Japan seems rich is only because you have plundered a large amount of wealth from our China. In just the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the Treaty of Shimonoseki, your country Japan plundered hundreds of millions of taels of silver from our China!

Your country of Japan is small in area, but its population is increasing rapidly.

I believe you should know what result this will lead to without me telling you.

That is, once the speed of plundering wealth from other countries cannot fill the gap caused by the continued increase in population, the economy will collapse immediately.

In particular, in recent years, in order to invade China, your country Japan has invested most of its wealth in the war, which has accelerated this situation.

You haven’t been able to pay your military salaries since last year, right?

That's why you sell fertilizer powder to fill the gap. What's worse, some troops even secretly sell various military supplies.

You can’t refute these, right?”

Hinakawa Okasaka looked like he had lost his parents. He was sweating profusely and gasping for breath. He wanted to refute, but he could not find any excuse at all.

After a long while, he continued, "Even so, these are not reasons for me to betray the empire and His Majesty Tian Huang!"

Xu Yang: "There are quite a few comfort women in your army, right?"

Hikawa Okazaka remained silent.

Xu Yang continued, "A small number of these comfort women were brainwashed by your Japanese government and voluntarily donated their bodies.

But more people were deceived or even forced to come here.

Once they entered the comfort station, they were all tortured to the point where they were neither human nor ghost.

You won't refute these uncles, right?"

Hikawa Okazaka remained silent.

Xu Yang: "At the beginning, you Japanese country only attacked ordinary civilians, but as the war continued, almost everyone in your country became a soldier, and then your Japanese government extended its evil claws to the families of soldiers.

In the comfort stations of your 1st Army alone, many of the comfort women are family members of soldiers.

You know these too, right?

However, when you were venting your anger, not only did you not feel any guilt, but you were filled with excitement, especially when you were venting your anger to the families of some officers.

Just because these people are not your family members, am I right? "

Hikawa Okazaka was silent again.

Xu Yang added: "I have to say, your Xiaohe people are really a shameless and unruly people!

But do you know that when you are violating the families of other soldiers, your family members are also being violated by others! It's just that your family members are in different military regions from you, so you know nothing about it.

Of course, it's not that you are completely ignorant of this. Anyone with a little common sense should know that if your government can treat the families of other soldiers in this way, it can also treat your families in this way.

It’s just that you are used to thinking with your lower body and you don’t want to admit it.

am I right? "

Hikawa Okazaka kept shaking his head: "Impossible! I sacrificed my life for the empire. When I went to war, His Majesty Tianhuang personally promised all of us that he would treat our families well.

So, there is no way he would treat my family like this!"

Xu Yang sneered: "Brother-in-law, you are still unwilling to accept the reality. Should I say that you are loyal or stupid?
Please turn to the last page of the document yourself."

Hinakawa Okazaka quickly flipped through the document to the last page, and when he saw the photo on it, he said in amazement, "Is this my hometown, my ancestral home?"

"What else?" Xu Yang asked back, and then said: "Just in the first half of last year, your wife was forcibly captured by the Japanese government and became a comfort woman. She is currently in a comfort house in the Central China Military Region. My organization is still investigating which comfort house it is.

And your two children starved to death at home because your wife was captured and taken to the Chinese front!"

Hikawa Okazaka's faith completely collapsed, and he collapsed on the sofa like a puddle of mud, but he was still unwilling to believe it, as if he was grabbing the last straw.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If that's the case, why didn't they attack Kayoko?"

Xu Yang: "That's because Kayoko's identity is sensitive, she is a reporter, and she has been in China, so she is not familiar with the intelligence in your country.

There is a more important reason, which is that she is still useful to you Japanese army.

Unlike your wife, whose only use is to be a comfort woman, to satisfy the physiological needs of the devils on the front line..."
