Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

But he didn't want to give up this opportunity.

One hundred thousand points is enough to make the risk worthwhile for him.

more importantly.

That old Japanese devil, Kiyoshi Kazuki, has the blood of Chinese people on his hands.

If we can take him down, it won't just be for the points, but also to avenge the compatriots he killed.

Zhou Tianyang sat back down at the table.

Take out a notebook and start writing and drawing in it.

The location of Taiyuan Airport, its surrounding terrain, possible sniper positions, and retreat routes...

He needs intelligence on all of these things.

He had no intelligence.

He doesn't even know what Taiyuan Airport looks like.

Not to mention the surrounding terrain.

We need to find a way to gather intelligence.

Zhou Tianyang put down his pencil and leaned back in his chair.

He remembered someone.

Tian Chengjun.

Tian Chengjun was formerly a battalion commander in the Nationalist Army.

Having fought in Shanxi for so many years, he should be more familiar with the situation around Taiyuan than he is.

Moreover, among the more than one hundred people in Wild Wolf Valley.

Many of them are locals from Shanxi, and some have even lived in Taiyuan.

Perhaps they can provide some useful information.

"Someone come here!"

"arrive!"

A guard ran in from outside the courtyard and stood at attention.

"Go and call Tian Chengjun here."

"yes!"

The guard turned and ran out.

Less than ten minutes later, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

Tian Chengjun strode in and stood at attention.

"Commander, you wanted to see me?"

"Please sit down."

Zhou Tianyang pointed to the chair opposite him.

Tian Chengjun sat down, his gaze fixed on Zhou Tianyang's face, waiting for him to speak.

Zhou Tianyang didn't rush to speak, but picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

Then he raised his head and looked at Tian Chengjun.

"Chengjun, did you serve in Taiyuan during your time in the Nationalist Army?"

Tian Chengjun was taken aback; he hadn't expected the regimental commander to ask that question.

He thought for a moment and nodded.

"Stay here."

"In 1936, our regiment was stationed in Taiyuan for a period of time."

Are you familiar with Taiyuan?

"I'm fairly familiar with it."

Tian Chengjun answered truthfully.

"I have been to all the main streets, city gates, and military camps in Taiyuan."

"I've also been to some places in the surrounding area."

Zhou Tianyang nodded and continued to ask.

What about Taiyuan Airport?

Have you been there?

Tian Chengjun paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Commander, why are you asking about Taiyuan Airport?"

Zhou Tianyang did not answer directly.

Instead, he picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Tian Chengjun.

"Take a look at this."

Tian Chengjun took the paper and looked down at it.

There were a few lines of text written on the paper.

Kiyoshi Katsuki, Commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Area Army.

He will step down as commander of the First Army on May 31 and return to headquarters by plane from Taiyuan Airport.

Tian Chengjun's pupils suddenly contracted.

He looked up at Zhou Tianyang, his voice very low.

"Commander, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Tianyang looked at him and said, word by word.

"I want to kill him."

Tian Chengjun's Adam's apple bobbed.

He lowered his head, looked at the paper again, then raised his head and looked at Zhou Tianyang.

"Commander, have you gone mad?"

His voice was a little hoarse.

"You want to kill him at Taiyuan Airport?"

"That area is Japanese-occupied territory, heavily guarded. How are you going to get in?"

"Even if you kill him, how will you retreat?"

Zhou Tianyang didn't speak, he just looked at him.

Tian Chengjun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Commander, I'm not saying this idea is bad."

"I mean, it's too difficult."

"Almost impossible."

I know it's difficult.

Zhou Tianyang spoke calmly.

"But I don't want to give up this opportunity."

He paused, his gaze becoming deep.

"Chengjun, do you know how many bad things that old Japanese devil, Kiyoshi Kōzuki, has done?"

"During his year or so in Shanxi, how many mopping-up operations did he command of the Japanese army?"

"How many civilians were killed, how many houses were burned, and how much grain was looted?"

Tian Chengjun fell silent.

"These things, you know them, I know them, the common people know them all."

Zhou Tianyang's voice rose a few decibels.

"Now, this old Japanese devil is going to run away."

"He killed so many people, then just walked away without taking any responsibility."

Do you think this is possible?

Tian Chengjun's lips moved slightly.

Zhou Tianyang shook his head.

"So, I don't want him to get away."

His tone became firm.

"I'm going to kill him at Taiyuan Airport, before he boards the plane."

Tian Chengjun remained silent for a long time.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Tianyang.

"Commander, what do you need me to do?"

Zhou Tianyang looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"First, I need detailed information about Taiyuan Airport."

Tian Chengjun nodded.

"Secondly, I need several guides who are familiar with the terrain around Taiyuan."

"Ideally, someone who is a local, has lived in Taiyuan, and is familiar with the roads in that area."

Tian Chengjun nodded again.

Third, this matter must not be known to anyone.

"No one else can know except you and me."

Tian Chengjun's expression became even more serious.

"Commander, I understand."

Zhou Tianyang leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

"Chengjun, how confident do you think you are in this matter?"

Tian Chengjun thought for a moment and held up three fingers.

"Three points."

"At most three points."

Zhou Tianyang nodded.

Three points isn't low, but it's not bad either.

Worth a try.

"Commander, I have a question."

Tian Chengjun suddenly spoke.

"What's the problem?"

"How did you know that Kiyoshi Katsuki would be taking off from Taiyuan Airport after stepping down on May 31st?"

"Where did you get this intelligence?"

Zhou Tianyang looked at him and remained silent for a moment.

"I have my sources."

His tone was calm.

"You don't need to know the source, you just need to know that the information is true."

Tian Chengjun stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Yes, Commander, I trust you."

He stood up, stood at attention, and saluted.

"After I got back, I quietly asked the soldiers about it."

Zhou Tianyang watched his figure disappear outside the courtyard gate, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

The chances of getting three points are indeed not high.

But he had to give it a try.

Those 100,000 points are too tempting.

Zhou Tianyang opened his eyes and walked to the window.

On the threshing ground, the soldiers were still training.

Slogans echoed throughout the village.

Zhou Tianyang looked at those young faces.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside me.

These people are the best soldiers of this era.

They are not afraid of death, hardship, or fatigue.

Carrying their guns, they charged into battle amidst a hail of bullets, building a defensive line with their own flesh and blood.

And people like Kiyoshi Kazuki.

Sitting in the command post thousands of miles away.

Drawing a few lines on a map can determine the life or death of tens of thousands of people.

Now that he wants to leave, how can we allow that?

At this moment, Zhao Wenlong walked at the front of the group, shouting slogans.

Tian Chengjun stood beside the Second Battalion's ranks, his expression revealing nothing unusual.

Zhou Tianyang watched this scene and secretly felt fortunate.

Tian Chengjun is a steady and reliable person who keeps his mouth shut, so he shouldn't cause any problems.

Next, all that's left is to wait.

Zhou Tianyang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Then, he turned around and walked back to the table to sit down.

My mind was still preoccupied with the Taiyuan Airport incident.
