Wu Ze listened to Zhang Gangzi's account, which was consistent with the records in the booklet.
"Captain Zhang, thank you for your cooperation." Wu Ze said.
"Captain, is there anything else?" Zhang Gangzi turned to look at Ding Wei, "If nothing happens, I'll go back to eat."
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long!" Ding Wei cursed and turned to look at Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, do you have anything else to ask?"
"No more." Wu Ze shook his head and said to Zhang Gangzi: "Battle Commander Zhang, I'm afraid I have to let you run errands."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Zhang Gangzi suppressed his stomach growling.
"Find out the address and family situation of the shopkeeper of Ke Lai Tavern, and don't disturb him. In two days, you lead people to arrest the shopkeeper of Ke Lai Tavern and his family, and search his house." Wu Ze said, "If I expected Yes, Zhong Ze’s appointment letter can be obtained by then.”
When Zhong Ze was arrested, there was no appointment letter.
After Wu Ze's analysis, it took a week for the appointment letter to come out, and the shopkeeper would bring it to Zhong Ze.
"Is it important to get Zhong Ze's appointment letter?" Zhang Gangzi was suspicious, "If he still doesn't recruit then, can we..."
"Second Battalion Commander, do as you say." Ding Wei interrupted.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go." Zhang Gangzi nodded.
Ding Wei instructed: "Remember to send smart soldiers to join forces with the comrades in the town. Don't send your men who only know how to eat. They will not be able to do anything and will not have anything left after eating!"
When Zhang Gangzi heard what Ding Wei said, his mood suddenly increased. This meant that our second battalion only knew how to eat.
Of course, Zhang Gangzi didn't dare to talk back to Ding Wei, so he could only bow his head and said: "Yes."
"Once things are done, your second battalion can eat potatoes." Ding Wei added.
When he heard that there were potatoes to eat, Zhang Gangzi's eyes immediately lit up: "Captain, are you serious?"
"If you can't handle it, don't say the potatoes are gone, I have to..." Ding Wei didn't finish his words.
Zhang Gangzi was confused: "Captain, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission."
After saying that, Zhang Gangzi led the people away as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"Xiao Wu, our second battalion commander made you laugh." Seeing Zhang Gangzi's useless look, Ding Wei turned to Wu Ze and smiled bitterly.
Although his 28th Regiment has grown to 3,000 men, on the surface, 3,000 troops seem to be very powerful.
In fact, let alone the shortage of guns and ammunition, food is also in short supply.
Li Yunlong, this kid, captured Qiujiazhuang, although he confiscated hundreds of thousands of kilograms of potatoes.
But the Eighth Route Army has secretly grown to more than 200,000 people.
After this calculation, the average amount of potatoes received by each person was not much, only two days of rations.
Ding Wei's 28th Regiment also got some potatoes, but Ding Wei kept them.
Eat it later when you fight, that way you will have strength.
Now, in order to stimulate Zhang Gangzi, Ding Wei took out the potatoes and talked about it, and Zhang Gangzi immediately smiled.
On the surface, Zhang Gangzi is a good-for-nothing foodie. In fact, this is a microcosm of the shortcomings caused by the rapid expansion of the Eighth Route Army.
"Now, except for the 386 Brigade, all other troops are tightening their belts. It is not easy for everyone." Wu Ze did not directly guarantee that it would not be long before he would make the 28th Regiment worry about too much food. Zhong Ze's appointment letter Exactly what it is is still unclear.
"Xiao Wu, I don't quite understand. How do you judge that Zhong Ze's appointment letter will come out in one week, not one month?" Ding Wei asked humbly. He and the deputy commander were engaged in intelligence analysis. Not good at any of the above.
This Wu Ze seems to be talented in this field, so I need to ask him for advice.
"Captain Ding, according to Xiao Luo's description, the shopkeeper of Ke Lai Tavern is most likely Zhong Ze's top line, or his contact person." Wu Ze said, "On the surface, Zhong Ze complained in front of the shopkeeper, but in fact Yes, this is a code word."
"A code word?" Ding Wei was confused.
"Captain Ding, come and listen. 'It's been a week and I haven't seen anything to be gained in this old place of Ping'an County. Even Mr. Pu You won't be so unkind to me.'"
Wu Ze analyzed it for Ding Wei, "The time is mentioned at the beginning of this sentence, that is a week. The location is also mentioned. In the old place of Ping'an County, it refers to the Ke Lai Tavern. The request is also mentioned, he Zhong Ze hopes to get a position where he can make money. Even the appointing officer told him that it was this person named Pu You."
"This, this, this..."
When Ding Wei heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Zhong Ze’s casual complaint can still be analyzed like this!
Moreover, under Wu Ze's analysis, so many intelligence details were hidden.
"Xiao Wu, I just think it is a code word." Ding Wei suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at Wu Ze: "How can you judge that the shopkeeper is the contact person? This sentence is really not what Zhong Ze muttered casually. Where’s the language?”
"It's very simple. Zhong Ze's flaw is obvious." Wu Zedao, "Didn't he bring a bodyguard? For things like settling the bill, he just asked the bodyguard to settle the bill with a casual word, but he went to settle the bill himself."
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Ding Wei nodded and praised: "Xiao Wu, I can feel it. This Zhong Ze must have been taken down by you very quickly. In front of you, his psychology is very fast. It will collapse.”
Ding Wei really didn't expect that Wu Ze's ability to analyze intelligence was so outstanding.
Ding Wei could foresee that winning Zhong Ze would be a piece of cake for Wu Ze.
"Captain Ding, you've oversold me." Wu Ze said modestly, "Let's take a look at Zhong Ze first."
"Well, okay, okay." Ding Wei nodded and led Wu Ze to the second camp.
At the Second Battalion, Zhang Gangzi was not here, and he had obviously taken people to prepare.
The soldiers of the second battalion are eating.
What we ate were beans, the kind that are fed to livestock, and everyone also got a piece of chaff cake, and that was all.
There is absolutely no comparison with the food that Xinyi Tuan had in the past.
Seeing Ding Wei coming, the people from the second battalion quickly saluted:
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
…
"Eat, let's all eat." Ding Wei waved his hands, still feeling sad in his eyes.
It was his incompetent regiment leader who allowed the soldiers to eat these things.
After greeting the soldiers of the second battalion, Ding Wei took Wu Ze to the room where Zhong Ze was detained.
Here, Zhong Ze is also eating, but his food is much better than that of the soldiers in the second battalion.
Ding Wei actually gave him potatoes to eat, and Zhong Ze actually looked disgusted.
Wu Ze didn't say much about this.
Zhong Ze is very important, and this person's body looks as weak as Wu Ze's. He must have more nutrition to prevent him from dying.
Many people are more valuable when they are alive than when they are dead.
However, Wu Ze was still surprised to see someone who looked exactly like him.
Seeing Ding Wei coming with the masked Wu Ze, Zhong Ze ignored the masked Wu Ze and immediately shouted to Ding Wei: "Captain Ding, you feed me potatoes every day, don't you Eighth Route Army treat prisoners preferentially? I want to eat meat!"
Before Ding Wei could speak, Wu Ze spoke up: "Captain Ding, let people take off Zhong Ze's clothes!"
Although Ding Wei didn't understand Wu Ze's intention, he immediately followed the instructions and said to the guard: "Take off Zhong Ze's clothes for me right now... Do you want to leave a pair of underwear for him?"
When Ding Wei said the next sentence, he turned to ask Wu Ze.
In front of Zhong Ze, Ding Wei stopped calling Wu Ze by his name.
"Not staying." Wu Ze shook his head.
"Tear off Zhong Ze's clothes and pants for me," Ding Wei said to the guard.
"Yes." Ding Wei's guard responded and immediately walked towards Zhong Ze.
