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

After hearing the words of the four-eyed translator, the originally noisy Juxian Building immediately became quiet. Everyone's eyes were cast on Ichiro Hirata on the wooden platform, even Li Yunlong was no exception.

Only Monk Wei was still eating tirelessly, devouring the food with relish. He poured the dishes on the table into his mouth as if no one was around, eating without caring about his image.

The restaurant fell silent, with only the sound of Monk Wei licking his plate.

The four-eyed translator announced solemnly, "Today is Mr. Hirata Ichiro's 37th birthday. It is also the birthday of General Hirata Kenkichi, the commander of the th Division of the Locust Army. Mr. Hirata Ichiro originally invited his uncle, General Hirata Kenkichi, to celebrate his birthday together, but Ichiro Hirata was ordered to fight bandits and kill enemies on the front line, so he could not come in person.

Therefore, I now invite His Excellency Ichiro Hirata to give you a speech on behalf of my uncle, Lieutenant General Ichiro Hirata."

Ichiro Hirata glanced at everyone and said solemnly, "I, Ichiro Hirata, would like to thank you all for coming on behalf of my uncle Kenkichi Hirata. Thank you very much.

Everyone present here is the elite nobles of Shouyang County. In the days ahead, I will still need your help to build the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt and ensure long-term peace and stability in Shouyang County. Please..."

After Ichiro Hirata finished speaking, he bowed his head to everyone, and then continued his deeply emotional speech.

Because the old Japanese didn't understand Chinese and spoke only Japanese, the bespectacled translator next to him translated it into Chinese.

The Japanese and puppet troops and local tyrants and evil gentry around listened to Ichiro Hirata's speech. They laughed and shed tears.

"Damn it, you're still giving me a lecture? Leaving me with a last will is more like it."

Li Yunlong cursed angrily in a low voice, and inadvertently saw that Monk Wei and his friends had finished the dishes on their table and were now moving towards his table. A big greasy hand reached out to him, and his face immediately turned dark.

"Fuck off!"

Monk Wei could only withdraw his hand in disappointment. He glanced around and found that the people at the neighboring table were only focused on listening to Ichiro Hirata's passionate speech. They hadn't even started eating yet, so he unceremoniously brought over several dishes.

At the end, he took out an oil paper bag, put a whole roast chicken in it, and stuffed it into his arms.

He kept in mind the teachings of the regiment commander Li Yunlong and planned to take it back to improve the food for the political commissar.

Although the food of the Eighth Route Army has improved a lot nowadays, meat and roast chicken are still luxuries for them.

As a result of the commotion, Li Yunlong missed many details of Ichiro Hirata's speech, so he asked Xu Yang next to him, "Boss Xu, what did that son of a bitch, Ichiro Hirata, say just now? He was wiping his nose and tears at the same time, as if his mother had died."

Xu Yang took a sip of wine, put down the glass and said, "This old devil said he missed his mother."

Li Yunlong drank his wine and muttered: "He has a mother? I thought he jumped out from a crack in the rock."

"It's time to eat, it's time to drink, why bother with his eggs? Well, let's fill our stomachs first and let him leave a few more last words."

"Yes, yes, what Boss Li said makes sense. We should eat and drink."

Xu Yang also picked up the chopsticks and started eating without hesitation.

"Old Li, we are all civilized people. Do you understand what civilized people mean? Slow down, you bastard, and leave some for me." Seeing Li Yunlong finish a whole plate of braised pork in one go, Kong Jie quickly joined in.

Ding Wei no longer cared about being reserved.

At this time, Ichiro Hirata also finished his heartfelt speech, and then several puppet soldiers brought up all the birthday gifts from everyone.

The four-eyed translator got a look from Ichiro Hirata and quickly said, "Everyone, Mr. Ichiro Hirata said you should come, so why bring birthday gifts? When the banquet is over, you must take all your birthday gifts back."

After a pause, the four-eyed translator changed the subject and said, "However, these birthday gifts also represent your thoughts for Mr. Hirata Ichiro. Before we return them, how about we open them and show them to everyone?"

"Okay, open it and take a look!"

Some of Ichiro Hirata's entourage and those who had received generous birthday gifts quickly started to cheer and applaud, while those who had received smaller gifts looked annoyed and regretted giving too little.

This is an opportunity to curry favor with Ichiro Hirata, and the most important thing is that it doesn't cost a penny.

If I had known earlier, I would have gritted my teeth to leave a good impression on the other person, but it's too late to say anything now.

While eating, Li Yunlong said to Xu Yang: "Boss Xu, didn't you say that Ichiro Hirata was taking advantage of the opportunity to make money?"

Xu Yang smiled and said, "Do you think these people will take the gifts back?"

Li Yunlong suddenly realized and said with disdain: "This guy is really a double-faced person."

Kong Jie added: "You are comparable to Lao Li."

"Boss Qin Shousheng of Sifang Casino sent 10 large yellow croakers and a jade ruyi, wishing Captain Pingtian good fortune and a long life!"

"Boss Liu Long of Liu's Company presents 30000 silver dollars and a -year-old ginseng to Captain Pingtian, wishing him good fortune and a successful career!"

"..."

The four-eyed translator looked at the gift list on the gift box and read it aloud, then opened the gift box to confirm.

The people whose names were called stood up with a smile and bowed to the people around them.

"Boss Kong of Bafang Trading Company..."

Four-Eyes' translation suddenly got stuck, and Ichiro Hirata's expression changed.

The four-eyed translator quickly opened the gift box, and then said in astonishment, "Here's a mud... a mud brick."

"Nani?"

Ichiro Hirata's face immediately turned cold, and everyone present was in an uproar.

Everyone whispered and guessed who this person was.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Old Kong, this is from you, right?"

Kong Jie smiled and said, "How is it? Is it okay?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Li Yunlong: "How dare you speak like that?"

Ichiro Hirata maintained his composure throughout, and although his expression gradually became gloomy, he did not lose his temper.

The bespectacled translator turned his head and glanced at Ichiro Hirata next to him. After receiving a signal from the other party, he continued to read out: "Boss Ding of Bafang Trading Company, presenting..."

There was still no gift list, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to open the gift box: "Here is... a dead rat... a... one."

There was an uproar again.

Ichiro Hirata's face became increasingly gloomy, and it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it.

Ding Wei: "Lao Kong, how about it, my gift is harder than yours, right?"

"Continue!" Ichiro Hirata gritted his teeth and instructed in Japanese.

"Hi Yi!"

The four-eyed translator bowed his head quickly: "The boss of Bafang Merchants..."

"Here's...here's a box of goat dung eggs. I hope Captain Hirata can eat them before he goes on his journey and be full...full to death."

"Baga! You are simply courting death!" Ichiro Hirata could no longer suppress his inner rage. He swept his eyes around with murderous intent and shouted, "Give orders, no one is allowed to leave today without my order!"

The four-eyed translator looked at the next gift box and asked tremblingly, "Tai-kun Hirata, there is another birthday gift from Bafang Trading Company. Do you want to continue reading it?"

Ichiro Hirata said, "Keep going! I want to see what tricks these damn guys can come up with!"

The four-eyed translator continued to read: "Boss Xu from Bafang Trading Company sent...sent...an urn.

To collect the body of old dog Hirata!"

Xu Yang asked: "How is it? Who gave the most exciting birthday gift?"

Li Yunlong gave a thumbs up: "He is still the lone wolf advisor. Old Li admires him!"

"idiot!"

Ichiro Hirata was so angry that he pushed the urn in the hands of the four-eyed translator and yelled, "Baga! Damn it, who is from Bafang Trading Company?"

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they did not understand what Ichiro Hirata said, they all knew that he was extremely angry.

Some people understood what Ichiro Hirata said, and they whispered to each other, and began to speculate about the origin of this so-called Bafang Trading Company. They were really bold.

Everyone looked around with worry, trying to find these fearless guys to prevent innocent people from getting hurt when the city gate caught fire.

Only Xu Yang, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Wei Heshang, Ma Tong and the other eight people were still sitting in their seats calmly, eating and drinking. Then, everyone's eyes were focused on their two tables, and they vaguely guessed something.

Xu Yang stood up and said, "Since you all have seen through it, I will also reveal my cards and stop pretending!"

"That's right, I'm Mr. Xu from Bafang Trading Company, and I gave you this urn!"

The bespectacled translator quickly translated for Ichiro Hirata, which made the old devil's face twisted with anger: "Bagayalo, you are dead!"

Ichiro Hirata suddenly drew out the officer's sword from his waist and was about to step forward and chop Xu Yang to death.

"Snapped!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared on Ichiro Hirata's face. His movements froze, and he fell straight into a pool of blood.

The local tyrants and evil gentry were so frightened that their anus shrank and their whole bodies trembled.

"The gun is fastest at seven steps away, and it is accurate and fast at seven steps away. You don't understand such a simple truth. You are really an idiot."

Xu Yang looked disdainful.

"Baga! Looking for death!"

Several Japanese officers stood up angrily and drew their pistols from their waists.

Li Yunlong just stretched out his hand to take a roast chicken, but unexpectedly Xu Yang kicked the table away without saying hello.

Plates and bowls clattered to the floor.

Before the Japanese officers could draw their guns, the flying table knocked them to the ground.

Li Yunlong didn't get the roast chicken, and he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Damn it, the damn Japanese devils, you still want me to kill a chicken!"

The four people at the table including Wei Heshang and Ma Tong stood up at the same time. They quickly pulled out the twenty-shot box guns hidden under their clothes at their waists, two each.

"Bang, bang, bang" continuous shooting killed several Japanese and puppet soldiers who wanted to be the first to stand out.

"Damn it! You all don't want to live anymore, right?"

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also stood up and drew their guns to point at those guys who were ready to make a move.

“Snap, snap, snap!——”

There were a few Japanese officers who refused to believe it and quietly reached for their waists, trying to pull out their guns. However, they were discovered by Li Yunlong and others and shot dead on the spot.

Li Yunlong stood on a stool, holding two guns in his hands and shouted: "I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. The sheep dung egg was given by me!"

"Listen to me, the commander of the New 386st Regiment of the th Brigade, Ding Wei, is here. I sent you the dead rat!"

"The commander of the 386nd Regiment of the th Brigade, Kong Jie, is here. I gave you the bricks!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also held guns and loudly introduced their homes.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. The Iron Triangle of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has been notorious in recent times. When the Japanese and puppet army officers present heard the three men introduce themselves, they were so frightened that they became silent and dared not move.

The sixty or seventy Japanese and puppet army officers present were controlled by Xu Yang, Li Yunlong and eight others.

Xu Yang said calmly: "Three brothers, I will do you a favor. Take all these Japanese traitors back and ask for credit."

Li Yunlong said: "Our independent regiment does not want any prisoners, let alone turtle bastards!"

Several Japanese officers began to make moves again, but Ding Wei, the quick shooter, fired a few shots and killed the enemies with accurate headshots.

Xu Yang said: "Since you all don't want these turtle bastards, let's work together to physically save them."

After saying that, Xu Yang raised the box gun in his hand and started indiscriminately shooting at the Japanese and puppet troops in the restaurant.

“Pah, pah, pah!——”

Bullets flew out from the muzzle one after another quickly, and every bullet hit the enemy's head, heart and other vital parts.

"Colonel Lone Wolf, you are too rude. You took action without telling me in advance."

Li Yunlong immediately joined in, and Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others followed closely.

"Bang, bang bang bang!"

“Pah, pah, pah!——”

Bullets flew all around, hitting the doors and windows.

The Japs and traitors didn't even have a chance to draw their guns or fight back, their bodies were beaten to pieces with blood flying everywhere.

They were like a group of slaughtered animals, shot and fell one after another...

The Japanese and puppet soldiers at the door heard the gunshots and wanted to rush in with guns pointed.

Almost at the same time, more than 30 people dressed in ordinary people's clothes who were hanging around the entrance of Juxian Building rushed over upon hearing the news. As they rushed over quickly, they took out the box guns that they had hidden under their clothes.

“Pah, pah, pah!——”

Dense rain of bullets poured down, piercing the backs of the Japanese soldiers, who fell in a pool of blood with screams.

These people walked without stopping, entering the Juxian Building one after another with guns in hand.

Thirty or forty people opened fire at the same time. The sound of gunfire was like an explosion. All the Japanese and puppet army officers were not spared and were all knocked to the ground by the rain of bullets.

The hall of Juxian Building was in a mess with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Broken tableware was scattered all over the floor and large pools of blood dyed the ground red. The bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers lay in a pool of blood, just like a slaughterhouse.

The local tyrants and evil gentry who came to celebrate the birthday were all trembling with fear and huddled in the corner, faintly smelling the odor of feces and urine.

When Li Yunlong glanced at them, these guys quickly begged for mercy.

"I'll spare your lives this year, but I'll gladly accept these birthday gifts from Ichiro Hirata. Just consider it as your support for the war of resistance. Don't you have any objection?"

"No comment, no comment."

How could these local tyrants and evil gentry dare to have any objections? They just wanted to get rid of these living devils as soon as possible.

Looking at the mountain of birthday gifts, Li Yunlong suddenly felt annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would have brought more people. There was no way he could take away so many birthday gifts.

They could only pick out some valuable things to take away. As for the guns of the Japanese officers, they didn't even bother to take any of them.

Turtle box, even dogs don’t need it.

Xu Yang recalled the plot of "Drawing Sword". It was through Ichiro Hirata's birthday gift that Yoshio Shinozuka saw the photo of Li Yunlong.

So he took away all the cameras of the Japanese reporters.

By the time the patrols from the 22nd Infantry Regiment and the rd Independent Battalion finally arrived, Li Yunlong and his men had already disappeared without a trace.

……

Japanese Army 37th Division Headquarters.

Kenkichi Hirata said in astonishment, "What? My nephew died at his own birthday party?"

"Hi Yi!"

The communications staff officer who came with the report bowed deeply.

Hirata Kenkichi gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who committed the crime?"

The Japanese communications staff said: "According to Lieutenant Colonel Hikawa Okazaka, commander of the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Locust Army, the perpetrators are from the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

Shinozuka Yoshio slammed his fist on the desk in front of him and said coldly, "Baka! How did Hikawa Okazaka maintain local stability? He actually let the damned Tubalu sneak into Shouyang County and commit crimes?"
