At the same time, in a closed room at the Imperial Army Corps Headquarters far away in Pingyao County, Wu Ran was standing there nervously, accepting questions from the kid from the Special High School Course.
He leaned forward slightly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Wu Ran swallowed nervously, "Tai...Taijun, I have made everything clear. Look..."
The two little devils on the opposite side glanced at the colonel sitting in the middle, still reading the contents recorded on the paper.
Hao Ran is Kazuki Yamamoto who came to investigate Li Yunlong's intelligence.
Closing the folder in his hand, Kazuki Yamamoto looked coldly at Wu Ran who was standing there, and did not speak. He just put down the folder and slowly tightened the white gloves on his hands.
Continuously exerting psychological pressure on Wu Ran, Wu Ran's whole body began to tremble slightly, his hands and feet moved involuntarily, and his collar was soaked with sweat.
Seeing Wu Ran looking like he was about to collapse, Yamamoto Kazuki's deep voice sounded, "You lied!"
Wu Ran became excited and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, Taijun! Everything I said is the truth!"
"You have to believe me, I don't, I really don't!"
Yamamoto Kazuki stared sharply into Wu Ran's eyes, which were full of fear and panic that the lies were about to be exposed, but he did not find the kind of calmness hidden deep in the face that he wanted.
It seemed that he was overthinking it. This guy was just a person who lied about military information to get rewards. He was not a spy agent planted by the Eighth Route Army.
Yamamoto Kazuki raised his hand, "Okay, I don't care about your lying about military information. This is your captain's concern. You can leave!"
Hearing Yamamoto Kazuki let him go, Wu Ran breathed a huge sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his face, "Thank you, Taijun, for your noble hand. Thank you, Taijun, for your noble hand!"
Wu Ran bowed and retreated with a flattering smile on his face. After walking out of the room, his feet went weak, and he quickly staggered out while holding on to the wall.
After Wu Ran left, a member of the Little Devil Special High School Course walked out from behind a hidden corner and came to the room.
"Report to Colonel, this person didn't find any problem!"
Yamamoto Kazuki nodded, "Well, there is no need to focus on this little person anymore, his value is gone!"
Yamamoto Kazuki had determined that Wu Ran had just concealed the specific situation of himself and others. They were not sent out by Lieutenant Futian, but they should have escaped from the battle. This was also a common problem among these Imperial Alliance troops.
The information about Li Yunlong was indeed true, but they misjudged the scope of Li Yunlong's activities and looked in the wrong direction.
Therefore, Major Inoue never caught any trace of Li Yunlong near Pingyao and Jiexiu.
Combining all the intelligence in his hands, Li Yunlong also rescued a large number of miners and took them away.
The starting point of Li Yunlong's operation was located in the northeastern branch of Taiyue Mountain.
Yamamoto Kazuki roughly judged the approximate scope of Li Yunlong's troop station.
Yamamoto Kazuki took out a map and delineated a range in the northern range of Taiyue Mountain.
Then he sent someone to deliver the map to the Taiyuan headquarters. He didn't want to spend too much effort on Li Yunlong. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was the target where he could show off his skills.
Later, Yamamoto Kazuki led people to Liao County. News came from the Special High School here that their rebel instigators had important information.
As for Wu Ran, after leaving the Pingyao headquarters and returning to his room in the Imperial Association Army Barracks, he gently relaxed his tense nerves.
Relying on his special skills, he should have successfully dispelled the suspicion on himself.
"But...it turns out to be a kid from Taiyuan. It seems that Commander Li has made a new big move recently. The kid has suffered a lot of losses!"
Wu Ran quickly guessed the general situation, and he noticed the difference between the leading colonel and the other little Japanese officers.
Compared with Major Inoue, Yamamoto Kazuki was more rational and had no obvious emotional fluctuations, which made Wu Ran unable to figure out the other party's context at all.
And to be honest, facing the pressure brought by Yamamoto Kazuki, Wu Ran was indeed a little passive.
"No, I have to find a way to find out the specific origin of this little devil, otherwise Captain Li might suffer a loss!"
Before, under Major Inoue, Wu Ran only tried his best to make friends with officers at all levels in Pingyao County and silently collected intelligence from their whispers.
Wu Ran thought deeply for a while, his eyes brightened slightly, and he thought of someone, "Yes, that Josuke Toharahara!"
This little Japanese lieutenant named Josuke Tohara is the captain of a garrison in Pingyao County.
Unlike other low-level officers who aspire to gain military honors on the battlefield and get promoted, this guy prefers to use his identity to make money by reselling military supplies.
At a banquet, I heard the translator say that Josuke Torahara relied on his uncle, the brigadier general, who was the deputy chief of the logistics department in the Taiyuan First Army!
So in Pingyao, even Major Takeshita and Major Inoue turned a blind eye to Josuke Toharahara's reselling of military supplies.
I believe that you can definitely get a lot of news about Taiyuan from him.
Just do whatever comes to mind, Wu Ran quickly formulated a method to get close to Josuke Tohara.
Since this guy is reselling military supplies, he won't think too deeply about who he sells to. Moreover, if he has the opportunity to help his uncle reach a higher level, Josuke Tohara will not refuse!
"But if we want to do this, we still need a little help from Captain Li!"
In the past, people who were in regular contact with him sent him some activity funds so that he could better develop his intelligence network.
Among them, there happened to be ten kilograms of white sugar. Considering the little devil's demand for white sugar, these ten kilograms of white sugar were more useful than a hundred dollars.
With these ten pounds of sugar, Wu Ran got a lot of appreciation from Major Akai.
Wu Ran wanted to use the sugar to open up the path to Josuke Tohara, and while making friends with him to obtain information, he could also use the sugar to exchange for some things that Captain Li's team lacked.
The first thing that needs to be done now is to find a middleman to serve as a guide to approach Josuke Tohara.
Wu Ran immediately thought of his immediate boss, Han Huicheng, the leader of the new 56th regiment of the Imperial Association Army.
According to Wu Ran's guess, it may be because of the reselling of supplies and the need to frequently enter and exit through the city gate that his regiment is responsible for guarding. Therefore, their regiment leader has a close relationship with Josuke Tohara.
Their leader and Josuke Tohara are often seen eating and drinking together.
"This inquiry is also an opportunity!"
Wu Ran calmed down, put a fine white jade waist pendant in an exquisite small wooden box, and then took the small wooden box to find his group leader Han Huicheng.
As soon as they met, Wu Ran begged miserably, "Captain, you have to save your humble position!"
Han Huicheng was unmoved and looked confused, "Isn't this Xiao Wu? What's going on? If anything happens, I will definitely help if I can!"
The implication is that I can't help you in this situation!
Wu Ran quickly explained, "I really didn't lie about the military situation. Commander, look, here is my evidence!"
With that said, he placed the small wooden box in front of Han Huicheng.
