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

Mountain city Chongqing.

Command headquarters.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at the document in his hand, his face twitching as he said, "Yan Laoxi is really asking for too much. The weapons and equipment of a reorganized division? What is he thinking?"

Wang Shihe next to him asked, "What do you mean, Mr.

Chiang Kai-shek: "At most, give him enough weapons and equipment for a reorganized brigade!"

Wang Shihe nodded and said, "Oh, by the way, I just received news that the Japanese have issued a statement through the news media, saying that the Eighth Route Army did not seize the regiment flag. This is a lie made up by the Eighth Route Army and a naked slander.

Just today, the Japanese army wiped out a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, more than 3000 people. "

Chiang Kai-shek's face darkened and he said, "Damn it, this is pure bullshit! I know the Communist Party well. Although I really want them to disappear, they will never joke about this matter.

The Japanese have no choice but to accept this reality. They are desperate. Immediately notify all news media of the Party and the country to criticize them back! "

……

Starting from that evening, the news media of China and Japan launched a protracted war of words, with both sides calling the other shameless.

It was not until the Osaka Division produced photos of the annihilation of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the flag of the 226th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army produced by the Eighth Route Army, the Second War Zone and the National Government.

At that time, both sides still insisted that the goods the other side brought out were fakes...

Kenan Slope.

The Second War Zone Commander's Department.

When Yan Laoxi received the telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, he immediately agreed to the price he offered.

After all, he set the price higher just to bargain. He could make a 50% profit on the weapons and equipment of a reorganized brigade. The most important thing was that he could get a regimental flag for free, and use it to boost his reputation. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the money is paid and the goods are delivered.

After all, Chiang Kai-shek has done many things like writing blank checks and then repeatedly delaying the implementation of the bills.

Similarly, the Eighth Route Army was also wary of Yan Laoxi and demanded that both money and goods be paid in full.

The salaries and supplies of the Eighth Route Army have been in arrears for two or three years, and they still haven't been paid yet...

While China and Japan are engaged in a war of words with each other.

Taihang area.

The battle between the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the 37th Division of the Japanese Army is still going on.

After eliminating their respective opponents, Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment and Ding Wei's New 1st Regiment immediately rushed to the front line without stopping.

What was different from before was that this time, it was their two units that blocked the Japanese invaders and provided cover for the 772nd and 771st Regiments to eliminate the enemies in the encirclement.

After more than two hours of bloody fighting, the 772nd and 771st Regiments successively annihilated the enemies in the encirclement, namely the 225st Battalion of the 227th Infantry Regiment and the rd Battalion of the th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.

By then, it was completely dark.

I can't see my fingers.

The Japanese army adopted a mode of advancing in batches, so except for a small number of devils who entered the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army, the other main forces did not enter.

The battles between the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment and the Japanese invaders changed from ambushes to positional attack and defense battles.

In fact, the Japanese invaders were not incompetent at night combat. On the contrary, they would undergo several months of night training before going to the battlefield, and their night combat level was also very high.

The reason why they rarely fight at night is simply because there is no need. At night, their fighter aircraft cannot take off and fight, and it is difficult for artillery to accurately hit the target.

At present, the same situation has become the Eighth Route Army, especially Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment.

When the independent regiment faced the Japanese infantry battalion and even the infantry regiment, its firepower had a complete upper hand. At this time, its firepower, especially the power of artillery, could not be fully exerted.

Therefore, although the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment always had the upper hand in this battle and caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese invaders, they did not completely wipe out the enemy as they had done before...

At the same time, in order to facilitate the transaction, Xu Yang had disguised himself and personally came to the Osaka Division Headquarters in the Taihang area.

The extremely restless night finally passed.

If there was anyone who slept very well that night, it was Xu Yang and Kitano Kenzo.

10 o'clock in the morning.

Xu Yang, Kitano Kenzo and the soldiers of the Osaka Division successfully arrived at Zhoujiapo.

Looking at the naked bodies of the Japanese soldiers on the ground, Kitano Kenzo said in astonishment: "Boss Yu, there is an old saying in China that goes "Killing people is not enough to get you to the point of breaking the law". It's OK for you to kill the 37th Division's deer, but there's no need to strip all their bodies, right?"

Xu Yang did not answer but asked: "Captain Kitano, you don't think that our Eighth Route Army is doing this to retaliate against the humiliation of your Japanese army, do you?"

Kitano Kenzo: “Isn’t it?”

Xu Yang shook his head: "Of course not. I believe that the commander of the Kitano Division should be very clear that the conditions of our Eighth Route Army are too difficult. We can't even guarantee one rifle with a rifle rifling that is almost worn out, let alone military uniforms and food supplies.

So, there was no other way. We had to live frugally and spend every penny carefully. We had finally won the battle, so of course we had to clean up the battlefield.

Therefore, the uniforms, shoes, socks, and even loincloths worn by these soldiers are, in fact, just spoils of war of our army.”

"Sigh!"

Kitano Kenzo nodded subconsciously. The hardships of the Eighth Route Army were well-known far and wide, so he had naturally heard about it.

But soon, he realized something was wrong. The Eighth Route Army had simple weapons? How could a regiment with simple weapons completely wipe out a reorganized regiment of the Imperial Japanese Army?
This was certainly because he provided intelligence information, but if the Eighth Route Army did not have sufficient hard power, it would be difficult to completely wipe out an entire Japanese infantry regiment even if they set up an ambush.

As for being poor, that's even more nonsense.

Haven't you seen them spending hundreds of millions or even tens of millions of yen without even blinking an eye?

Even he, the commander of the Osaka Division, could not be so arrogant.

In fact, the money he earned in his entire life was not as much as what he earned from these few deals with Xu Yang...

"Captain Kitano, the costumes of these extras are over there. Please ask your soldiers to change them."

Kitano Kenzo was brought back to reality by Xu Yang's words. He looked in the direction of Xu Yang's finger and saw a pile of Eighth Route Army uniforms not far away, at least several hundred pieces.

"First Battalion, immediately put those uniforms on these sika deer."

Under Kitano Kenzo's order, the Japanese soldiers from the first battalion immediately stepped forward, and then in groups of three or four, began to put military uniforms on the corpses on the ground.

The war correspondents are about to start filming.

Xu Yang quickly stopped him and said, "Qiaodou sack! Qiaodou sack!"

Kitano Kenzo looked at Xu Yang in confusion: "Boss Yu, is there anything else?"

Xu Yang: "We can't shoot like this, these extras are too clean, they don't look like they've been in a war.

These uniforms had to be dirty, with all the mud, dirt, and red ink.

Also, the body is not fresh anymore. It doesn’t look like it just died. We need to put some makeup on it.”

Kitano Kenzo gave a thumbs up and said, "Oh, Boss Yu is really thoughtful. But we don't have red ink."

Xu Yang: “I brought it.”

Immediately, Xu Yang began to instruct the Japanese soldiers of the Osaka Division to put makeup on the corpses and set up the scene, and then the war reporters began to take pictures continuously.

The reason why Xu Yang did not directly use the Japanese soldiers of the Osaka Division as extras this time, but instead used the corpses of the Japanese soldiers from the 37th Infantry Regiment of the 226th Division, was mainly to present the most realistic scene of the war.

After all, it is impossible for all the corpses on the battlefield to be intact.

Many soldiers had their bodies torn to pieces by bullets, and some were blown to pieces by artillery shells, leaving broken limbs all over the ground.

This scene was something that the Osaka Division could not perform. While the Japanese extras were being made up and filmed, other Japanese soldiers dug many large pits nearby to bury the bodies of the Japanese.

Of course, the Osaka Division would not work for nothing, so they extorted a large sum of money from Xu Yang.

……

About half an hour later.

After the war correspondent finished filming, he walked up to Kitano Kenzo, bowed respectfully, and reported to the director: "Your Excellency the division commander, the filming is done."

"Yoshi!" Shinozuka Yoshio nodded with satisfaction. "Shinozuka-kun is in a hurry. When you get back, you should immediately develop these photos, select the appropriate ones, and send them to Taiyuan City."

"Hi Yi!"

The war correspondents bowed their heads deeply.

Kitano Kenzo looked at Xu Yang again and saw that Xu Yang was stopping his men from carrying the bodies. He strode over and asked, "Boss Yu, what happened?"

Xu Yang: "Extras are disposable, but these costumes and makeup will be used later, so they have to be taken off."

Kitano Kenzo's mouth twitched: "Boss Yu, how much are these tattered military uniforms worth? You are such a big boss, there is no need to be so stingy, right?"

Xu Yang: "Ride a bike, go to the bar, save when you should, spend when you should. Although we are not short of money now, money doesn't come from the wind after all, so every bit we can save counts.

Besides, I am mainly doing this to facilitate your Osaka Division.

With these costumes and makeup, you can use your own people as extras for filming, and you can even prepare some fake limbs and arms."

Kitano Kenzo was immediately amazed by Xu Yang's wild ideas, and his eyes lit up as he said, "Boss Yu, it has to be you. I consider myself a shrewd businessman, but compared to you, I am simply ashamed of myself.

You are right, we should indeed save on unnecessary expenses, I want to learn from you."

A little adds up to a lot.

Other people who have become rich may not care about these trivial things, but the vegetable vendors in the Osaka Division are extremely shrewd.

They all understand one thing, that is, saving a hundred dollars is much easier than earning a hundred dollars.

We chatted briefly for a while.

The devils from the Osaka Division buried all the extras from the 37th Infantry Regiment of the 226th Division.

Kitano Kenzo bid farewell to Xu Yang and returned with his victorious army.

……

after an hour.

After receiving Xu Yang's telegram.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei led their troops to Zhoujiapo.

"Lone Wolf Advisor, long time no see, I missed you so much!"

When Li Yunlong saw Xu Yang, he gave him a big hug right away, while Ding Wei shook hands with Xu Yang.

"Lone Wolf Advisor."

After saying hello.

Li Yunlong looked at the mountains of weapons, equipment, ammunition, food, as well as medicines, cloth and other supplies in the rear.

He curled his lips and said, "The Osaka Division is really stingy. They only sold us junk."

Ding Wei said angrily: "We even have Type 92 heavy machine guns, Type 97 light mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, you bastard should just be content.

After just a few days of eating full meals, have you forgotten the times when you were hungry?

Although we don't need these Type 38 rifles, other brother troops do need them."

Li Yunlong smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I know the truth, but I have high expectations for the Osaka Division. After all, it is the regular Type A division of the Japanese. I thought they could sell us some tanks and armored vehicles."

Ding Wei was speechless for a while.

Li Yunlong asked in confusion: "Huh? Lone Wolf Staff Officer, this Osaka Division is a grocery store? How come there are pots and pans, umbrellas, raincoats, everything?"

Xu Yang: "Because the contract signed between the Osaka Division and us states that we will purchase everything at a price 40% higher than the market price, so whenever the Osaka Division's smart guys arrive at a place, they start buying up all kinds of supplies on the market.

When facing some big households, they directly robbed them, under the pretext of getting them to support the Anti-Eight Campaign! "

Li Yunlong cursed: "These damn profiteers!"

Ding Wei was also happy: "Still fighting against eight? But, to be honest, although we spent 40% more money, it was really worth it.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to openly go to major markets, especially county towns, to purchase these supplies in large quantities, and transportation would also be a big hassle.

The Osaka Division saved us a lot of trouble.

Of course, the most important thing is that we have an inexhaustible supply of Japanese yen.”

Li Yunlong: "You hit the nail on the head with your last sentence, Old Ding. Otherwise, even if we wanted to do business with the Osaka Division, we would be powerless.

Especially those medicines, which are what we need most."

Xu Yang: "We have an inexhaustible supply of Japanese yen, and with our cooperation, the Osaka Division's ammunition and supplies are also inexhaustible, hehehe.

According to Kitano Kenzo, the ammunition supplies that Shinozuka Yoshio provided them are already on the way and will be transported to the Taihang area in a few days. "

Li Yunlong: "It's so damn exciting to think about using their weapons and ammunition to fight them! I just don't know what that bastard Shinozuka Yoshio would think if he knew about this. Would he be so angry that his nose would be crooked?"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Xu Yang and Ding Wei both showed cunning smiles.

Then, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment carried the newly purchased supplies and headed straight for the brigade headquarters.

On the way, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei talked about yesterday's battle situation in a very vivid way. In the end, they naturally praised Xu Yang for a while.

If it weren't for Xu Yang, they would never have been able to obtain so many advanced weapons and equipment, nor would they have been able to obtain so much intelligence on the Japanese, and they would even have to wait for the Japanese to die.

But, speaking of last night's battle.

Li Yunlong couldn't stop feeling annoyed again: "Damn it, it's a pity that many Japanese soldiers escaped last night when it was dark.

Failed to destroy the other two infantry regiments of the 37th Division. "

Hearing this, Ding Wei cursed: "Damn you, Old Li, you are so arrogant now.

In just one day, they wiped out an entire infantry regiment of the Japanese and severely damaged two reorganized troop regiments.

All in all, out of the three infantry regiments of the 37th Division, less than two infantry battalions returned last night.

Before this, could you imagine it?"

Li Yunlong: "Hasn't the times changed? Old Ding, you are out of date. How can you still look at our army with old eyes?
Lone Wolf Advisor, am I right?"

Xu Yang nodded in agreement: "Captain Li is right. We had no choice before because we didn't have the conditions. Now that we have the conditions, we naturally have to set a higher goal."

After a pause, Xu Yang changed the subject and continued, "However, the other two infantry battalions of the 37th Division cannot escape either. Not only that, the artillery regiment, the logistics regiment, and the engineering regiment of the 37th Division cannot escape either.

There are also three regiments of the 36th Division!
As for how long the Osaka Division can survive, it depends on when they lose their usefulness."

If someone else had said that they wanted to wipe out two and a half divisions of the Japanese army, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei would definitely have sneered.

However, since these words came from Xu Yang's mouth, they did not doubt it at all... (End of this chapter)
