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

Chapter 46 Qian Bojun betrays, Xu Yang serves as a special envoy for rebellion
In the next few days, Xu Yang started to lie down again, selling fertilizer powder and training his troops.

He was not in a hurry to collect intelligence on the Japanese. After all, he was not a professional agent and had not received professional training. If he deliberately tried to obtain intelligence, he would be easily exposed and it would be very dangerous.

He only needs to stay like a nail, firmly stuck into the enemy's interior, and he will be able to obtain a lot of intelligence. Moreover, as his military rank rises, the intelligence he can access will become more and more important.

This is of the greatest help to the Eighth Route Army.

……

Water waist arsenal.

Brigade Commander Chen personally took charge of directing the assembly and production of the copper-clad steel bullet production line. After two days of assembly and equipment debugging, the production line was finally successfully put into production and successfully produced the first batch of bullets.

The engineer in charge of production immediately reported the good news to Brigade Commander Chen: "Brigade Commander, the copper-clad steel bullets have been produced."

Brigadier: "Have you conducted any shooting experiments?"

Engineer: "It has been tested and its performance and reliability are about the same as brass bullets."

Brigade Commander: "In that case, let's go all out for production. The leaders and I will find a way to solve the raw material problem."

"Yes!" The engineer saluted and said, "However, copper-clad steel bullets also have a big flaw."

The brigade commander frowned: "What flaw?"

Engineer: "Metallic steel is prone to rust, which means that it is impossible to pick up the shell and bullet and reload it like brass bullets."

The brigade commander's frown relaxed: "The reliability of reloaded bullets is far less than that of original bullets, and even brass bullets cannot be reloaded indefinitely.

On a fierce battlefield, collecting shell casings and bullets is a very tedious task.

Sometimes there is not even a chance to pick it up.

So, compared to the low cost of copper-clad steel bullets, the disadvantage of not being able to be reloaded can be completely ignored. "

After a pause, the brigade commander changed the subject and continued, "In addition, when you are producing, you should also try your best to find ways to replicate several identical production lines.

Just one production line is not enough.”

"Yes!"

The engineer saluted again.

……

half a month later.

Blackwater River Stronghold.

Xu Yang is now a popular figure around Hikawa Okazaka, and almost all the Japanese in the stronghold know him.

Now, Xu Yang no longer needs the guidance of the sentry on duty, and can swagger in and out of the Black Water River stronghold and Hikawa Okazaka's office.

Inside the office.

Xu Yang bowed respectfully to Hikawa Okazaka and asked, "Hikawa Taijun, are you looking for me?"

Hikawa Okazaka waved his hand and said, "Xu-san, please take a seat. From now on, when you come to my base, just treat it as coming home. You can be more casual and don't have to be so reserved."

After Xu Yang sat down on the sofa next to him, Hikawa Okazaka continued, "I called you here this time mainly because I have a mission for you."

Xu Yang asked in confusion: "Richuan Taijun, what is the mission?"

Hikawa Okasaka: "Incite Qian Bojun, the commander of the first battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, to rebel!"

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment.

In the TV series "Bright Sword", the one who instigated Qian Bojun to rebel was Hirata Ichiro, the captain of the Heyuan County Military Police, in northwest Shanxi, after the Hundred Regiments Campaign. Now there are still two or three months before the Hundred Regiments Campaign, so why did the Japanese start to instigate Qian Bojun to rebel?
Could it be that because of my time travel, the timeline was advanced?
But the question is, does Qian Bojun have any intention of turning against us now?
If not, and I were to instigate him to rebel, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, seeking my own death?

Hikawa Okazaka seemed to see Xu Yang's worry, and said, "Xu Sang, you don't have to worry, there is no danger on this trip.

The Imperial Army has already contacted Qian Bojun's deputy battalion commander, and Qian Bojun is willing to surrender to our Great Japanese Locust Army.

Originally, the person who contacted Zhang Fugui and was responsible for instigating Qian Bojun to rebel was Bai Jingxuan, the chairman of the Yangquan County Maintenance Association. I specifically applied to our wing commander for this opportunity to make a contribution for you."

Xu Yang quickly stood up and bowed his head, saying: "Thank you very much for your support, Richuan Taijun. I will definitely fulfill my mission and complete it successfully."

Hikawa Okazaka quickly put his hand down and said, "Xu-san, didn't I tell you that there are no outsiders here? You don't have to be polite to me, just sit down.

You don't have to go back today. Come with me to the county town. Tomorrow morning, you and Bai Jingxuan will set out directly from the county town. You will be the special envoy and Bai Jingxuan will be your assistant."

……

noon the next day.

Wearing a felt hat and a long gown, Xu Yang, disguised as a teacher, under the leadership of the big traitor Bai Jingxuan, successfully arrived at the headquarters of the 10st Battalion of the 358th Regiment in Baima Village, kilometers east of Cangyun Town.

After Zhang Fugui welcomed Xu Yang and the other two into the camp, he immediately closed the door and sent a large number of his trusted men to stand guard outside.

The huge battalion headquarters was empty with only four people: the battalion commander Qian Bojun, deputy battalion commander Zhang Fugui, as well as Xu Yang and Bai Jingxuan, chairman of the Yangquan County Maintenance Association.

After battalion deputy Zhang Fugui cut a cup of tea for each of them, he took the letter handed to him by Qian Bojun, read it quickly, took out a lighter and lit it to destroy it.

Then he turned to Bai Jingxuan and asked, "President Bai, who is this?"

Bai Jingxuan was about to speak, but Xu Yang put down the teacup in his hand and took the lead to introduce himself: "I am Xu Yang, and I am currently the special envoy of Captain Kasahara Koizumi of the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Locust Army. President Bai is my assistant."

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Fugui glanced at the battalion commander Qian Bojun who was sitting at the top. After receiving his eye signal, he turned his head and looked at Xu Yang opposite him: "Mr. Xu, let's be frank. If the Japanese ask us to turn against them, we can consider it.

The key is to see what price the Japanese offer us.

I think the battalion commander and I are both very concerned about this issue.”

Xu Yang said: "Don't worry about this. Colonel Kasahara has already said in his letter that your battalion will be counted as a reorganized regiment.

Battalion Commander Qian was awarded the rank of colonel and appointed as the regiment commander, and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel and appointed as the deputy regiment commander.

Your regiment belongs to the combat sequence of the Peaceful National Construction Army and is under the unified jurisdiction of the Jinling government.

This price is not low, I think you two should be satisfied, right?"

After listening to this, Qian Bojun stood up from his chair angrily, turned to the battle map behind him, then quickly turned around and laughed at Xu Yang: "Hahaha! Reorganize into a regiment? The Japanese are giving face to me, Qian.

Kasahara Koizumi is not a fool. He should know that our 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment with four infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, with nearly 6000 people!

My battalion is the main force of the 358th Regiment, with nearly 2000 men. You can go and ask around. Other regiments, even the New 1000st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that defeated the Sakata Regiment at Cangyun Ridge, only had more than men.

My one battalion is worth two of his regiments!

Although I am only a battalion commander now, I live the life of a regimental commander.

Why should I not be able to live a good life, but be branded as a traitor, be stabbed in the back by the world, and serve under the Japanese, and be a fucking regiment commander?
If Kasahara Koizumi couldn't defeat our 358th Regiment, would he want to turn against me?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Fugui said, "That's right, since Colonel Kasahara is determined to recruit us, he should show enough sincerity!

Besides, Chu Yunfei is usually very kind to us brothers.

If there is no sweet thing, why should we betray the commander?"
