Time flies like lightning, and years fly by.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year.
There is heavy snowfall in northwest Shanxi, with thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting.
Taiyuan City is also covered in silver.
On this day, Wu Ze transported some generator parts through Zhong Yunhe's smuggling channel.
To make weapons, in addition to machine tools, you also need power.
The fuel generator is the source of power.
Meeting the boss's wife again, Wu Ze handed the boss's wife an envelope: "Submit this plan to the headquarters."
Plans often fail to keep up with changes.
Wu Ze originally planned to get the machines in the arsenal through Pu You, but it is the end of the year and Pu You's promotion has not been finalized yet.
Although people at the copper smelting factory have learned the copper smelting technology, it is difficult to develop boiler machines.
But a new wedge machine is coming.
Wu Ze has a close relationship with Taiyuan station commander Kameda. He learned top-secret military information from Kameda, that is, the Japanese will transport some important machinery from Fengtian Arsenal to increase the productivity of Taiyuan Arsenal and the copper smelting plant. productivity.
This batch of important machinery includes bullet-making machine tools, boilers, generators, etc., all of which are brand-new machinery.
Since a brand new machine was delivered to his door, Wu Ze naturally changed his plan immediately and asked Lao Li to act quickly, forcing the train to stop directly from the Zhengtai Line for looting.
The landlady took the envelope, put it away solemnly, and said to Wu Ze: "Changcheng, according to your instructions, the package has been delivered to you. Do you want to see it now?"
"Of course I want to see you." Wu Ze nodded. This package was Zhong Ze.
As soon as the machine was obtained, Wu Ze wanted to withdraw.
But after he left, Wu Ze would not give up the machine parts, including machine tools, in the Taiyuan Arsenal.
After all, even if Lao Li was allowed to loot the machinery on the train from the Zhengtai Line, the 18th Army was really too poor, so the more machinery the better.
Therefore, Wu Ze had to get Zhong Ze over and let Zhong Ze take his place and continue his action plan.
Wu Ze no longer stayed in Taiyuan and returned to the rear, but his thoughts were still active in Taiyuan.
Wu Ze met Zhong Ze.
After not seeing each other for several months, Zhong Ze was well taken care of by the people behind him, and his physical condition was no different from Wu Ze's now.
"Zhong Ze, we meet again." Wu Ze still covered his face in front of Zhong Ze.
Although the rear has carried out important ideological work on Zhong Ze, Zhong Ze has deeply realized his previous mistakes and wants to make up for it.
But he still can't let him know things that he shouldn't know.
"Sir, if you need me to do anything, just ask." Zhong Ze's expression looked very remorseful, and he no longer had the cunningness of the past.
"No rush, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat for a while." Wu Ze looked at Zhong Ze calmly, "How have you been these days in the rear?"
"Very good. You guys treat me very well. You eat steamed buns yourself, but give me white noodles. I think it's a waste." Zhong Ze replied.
"What do you think of the Japanese army launching this war?" Wu Ze asked.
"Japanese devils have no humanity..."
…
Wu Ze talked with Zhong Ze for almost an hour. He tested Zhong Ze several times with the psychological tactics of later generations. He found no sign of Zhong Ze pretending to surrender. His heart had been truly cleansed by the rear.
"You must memorize all the information in this document before I come to see you next time." Wu Ze handed the thick folder to Zhong Ze.
These are all the details of Wu Ze taking Zhong Ze’s identity behind enemy lines.
"Okay, okay." Zhong Ze held the folder in both hands.
After the contact between Wu Ze and Zhong Ze was completed, he returned to the landlady and said in a solemn tone: "Send someone to keep an eye on him secretly. If there is anything unusual about him, take control immediately."
In that folder, Wu Ze intentionally or unintentionally hid a piece of shockingly important information, which was the location of the headquarters of the 18th Group Army that he had fabricated.
Although he found no signs of Zhong Ze's false surrender from psychological tactics, he could not truly confirm it with words alone.
As for the location of the 18th Group Army headquarters, this is a huge achievement.
If there is any luck in Zhong Ze's heart, or if there is any thought of false surrender deep in his heart, this information will be enough to expose his flaws.
It was necessary to confirm whether Zhong Ze had absolutely surrendered.
Both his absolute surrender and his false surrender should be used, but in different ways.
I'm absolutely convinced, you can use it with confidence.
False surrender requires coercion and inducement, and coercion is used.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Zhong Ze?" The landlady heard this and became suspicious.
"Be vigilant and don't relax at all." Wu Ze said seriously.
"Okay, I understand." The landlady wrote down.
…
Eighteenth Army Headquarters
Thanks to the seizure of grain harvests from Fort Village and the grain grown in the base area, the troops of the 18th Army no longer suffered from hunger and cold this winter.
Here at the headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of general staff were cooking on the stove. The chief of general staff dug out two potatoes from the stove, peeled one himself, and handed one to the deputy commander-in-chief: "Lao Peng, we have never been like today. That way, we don’t have to worry about the soldiers below starving or freezing.”
"Yes." The deputy commander held the potatoes and peeled them carefully while saying, "If it weren't for Xiao Wu, we still don't know what it would be like."
"Once the machine is back, Xiao Wu must be withdrawn immediately," the chief of general staff said.
"That's natural." The deputy commander nodded and said, "However, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace. We are still severely blocked by Shinozuka Yoshio. After the year, I think we can prepare for a large-scale attack."
"It is better to launch a large-scale attack sooner rather than later, but our army is still severely lacking in weapons and equipment, so I am afraid we cannot start it immediately," said the Chief of General Staff.
"Then the second half of the year." The deputy commander said, "I guess Xiao Wu has also gotten the machine back, and we should have a certain amount of ammunition to replenish..."
Before the deputy commander finished speaking, an intelligence officer hurried over: "Boss, important information came from the Great Wall."
The deputy commander took over the intelligence and sent the intelligence officer away.
After tearing open the top-secret envelope, the deputy commander opened it and took a look. The chief of general staff also looked over.
Looking at the contents of the plan in the intelligence, the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of general staff's eyes widened instantly.
"Lao Peng, am I dazzled? The Japanese want to transport a batch of machinery from Fengtian Arsenal to Taiyuan!" The chief of general staff was pleasantly surprised.
These are all brand new machines, not obsolete ones.
Grab it back, you have the raw materials, and you can put them into production immediately.
boom!
The deputy commander slapped the table: "Immediately send someone to send this plan to the 386th Brigade and ask them to take action immediately to bring the machine and Xiao Wu back together!"
…
new group
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
…
Although the snow is falling heavily and the ice is biting.
But the troops of the new regiment are still training despite the severe cold.
He didn't curl up in bed and sleep just because he had enough supplies.
The new group of warriors, their faces red from the cold, and the mist they sprayed condensed into frost in the air, still roared.
New Regiment Headquarters
"One point missing, I'm just one point missing! I'm just one point missing from passing!"
Li Yunlong held the paper and was very annoyed, "Why did we write the word 'kill' in 'kill' as 'sha'. This word is obviously wrong. Since you want to kill, you must bring a knife." It's only right that the word 'Sha' has a standing knife next to it. The word 'kill' doesn't have a knife and no murderous intention, so how can it be called killing?"
Kong Jie said: "I said, Lao Li, if you write something wrong, you wrote it wrong. Why are you complaining? Just write it correctly next time."
Kong Jie also took the same question, and he didn't... pass. He did worse than Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong scored 59 points and Kong Jie scored 57 points.
"Kong Er, you looked better than me before, and you are more educated than me!" Li Yunlong looked up at Kong Jie, "Let me ask you a question, is fifty-seven points higher, or fifty-nine points? "
"Old Li, what's the point of you laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps?" Kong Jie said with a confused face.
Really, they all failed. You, the failed person, are laughing at me, the failed person. Isn’t it interesting?
"Why is this not interesting? I have two points more than you, which proves that I am better than you, Kong Erduo." Li Yunlong said.
"Yes, yes, you are better than me. You are so capable. Don't compete with me. Compete with the brigade commander." Kong Jie said.
"Just wait, sooner or later my culture will catch up with the brigade commander's..." Lao Li was about to start bragging again.
Wei Dayong ran over: "Commander, the brigade commander is here."
Upon hearing that the brigade commander was coming, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong hurriedly went to greet him.
"brigadier!"
"brigadier!"
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie saluted the brigade commander together.
"Li Yunlong, I guess you must be scolding your mother, right?" The brigade commander said directly as soon as they met.
"Who the heck are you reporting on me!" Li Yunlong immediately glared and wanted to deal with him.
"You are wrong, I guessed it." The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong, "You kid promised me repeatedly before that you couldn't get a hundred points in the test, but you could at least get a ninety percentile, but you gave me a fifty Nine points, throw your face to the headquarters!"
"Brigadier, the horse stumbled, the man stumbled..." Li Yunlong smiled sheepishly.
The brigade commander interrupted: "But you kid, this is too exaggerated."
"That's right, I got fifty-nine points in the test, and I still have the nerve to defend myself." Kong Jie interjected.
The brigade commander scolded Kong Jie again: "You Kong Jie, you are two points less than Li Yunlong, yet you have the nerve to be the deputy brigade commander!"
Kong Jie wanted to be the deputy brigade commander with Li Yunlong. How could he hide this from the brigade commander who had a background in intelligence?
"Ahem." Kong Jie looked embarrassed, "Brigadier, I am too..."
"Have you also made a mistake?"
"I, I, I..." Kong Jie hesitated for a long time and was speechless.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go and enter the regiment headquarters." The brigade commander waved his hand, and the three of them entered Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters.
"Brigadier, come, drink water." Li Yunlong quickly poured water for the brigade commander, and then looked at the brigade commander with a smile: "Brigadier commander, is there news from Wu Ze, asking our new regiment to work? Already?"
"Li Yunlong, your boy's eyesight is quite good." The brigade commander pretended to be surprised.
"I learned this all from the leaders. Brigadier, you have a sharp eye. I, Li Yunlong, can't learn it even if I study all my life. You are the one..." Li Yunlong immediately flattered you.
"Come on, shut up!" The brigade commander interrupted Li Yunlong, "Stop flattering me in the future."
Although the words were shouted like this, the brigade commander still felt very satisfied with this flattery.
The brigade commander took out the plan and put it on the table: "Li Yunlong, take it and take a look."
Li Yunlong took the plan and quickly opened it to take a look. Kong Jie also came over.
Li Yunlong read the plan and immediately jumped up with joy: "Hahaha, we have been working hard for so long, we can finally do something big, looting a train. We have never done this job before, it is fun just thinking about it."
"Li Yunlong, the Shottai Line is an important communication line for Japanese defense. It is not easy to fight." Kong Jie said, "The bunkers on the Shottai Line..."
"Kong Er, what are you afraid of? My new regiment is the main force. I have guns and cannons. Let's smash all the turrets and blockhouses on the Zhengtai line for him!" Li Yunlong was so arrogant.
"Kong Jie, you also have other tasks." The brigade commander said to Kong Jie.
"What mission?" Kong Jie asked.
"Wu Ze got a lot of machine parts in Taiyuan City. You lead the team to get all the machine parts back." said the brigade commander.
The original plan was for Li Yunlong to secretly get these machine parts back when he was pretending to attack Taiyuan.
Now the plan has changed. Li Yunlong wants to storm the Zhengtai Line and loot the trains, so others will have to do the work of machine parts.
"I'm just going to get machine parts, and I won't fight?" Kong Jie was suspicious. Since the last time he killed the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army, the independent regiment had also rested, and Kong Jie also wanted to fight.
"You think getting machine parts is a small job!" the brigade commander said solemnly, "When the time comes, I will go with you."
Li Yunlong's mind was spinning quickly. He remembered something and immediately asked: "Brigadier, are you going to bring Xiao Wu back together?"
When Kong Jie heard what Li Yunlong said, he was overjoyed: "Brigade commander, if you can bring Xiao Wu back together, I will take over this mission."
Again, this deputy brigade commander is definitely not as comfortable as a regular person.
Wu Ze's intelligence is so great. If we bring him back, we might have a chance to make a big contribution along the way.
"Yes." The brigade commander agreed, "This time, we will bring Xiao Wu back together."
"Great, I'll take over this task." Kong Jie geared up.
Li Yunlong was not very happy and said to the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, how about I divide some troops into the new regiment..."
The brigade commander didn't know what Li Yunlong was thinking, so he interrupted: "Li Yunlong, please be honest, hit the Zhengtai Line and loot the train. The trains are full of brand-new machine tools. This is our 18th Group Army." If you have the hope of independently producing weapons, if you fail to do your job for me, let alone if you want to be promoted to brigade commander, I will have to kill you!"
"Don't worry, brigade commander, I promise not to leave even a single screw behind for you, I'll bring them all back to you!" Li Yunlong said solemnly.
"Okay, you two will prepare for me. In three days, bring the team to my brigade headquarters." The brigade commander stood up. For such an important action, he did not go through the phone line, but came in person. Keep it as confidential as possible.
When the time comes, when the blitzkrieg begins, we must move quickly.
Whether it was the Shota Line or a feigned attack on Taiyuan to retrieve machine parts, this move would definitely shock Yoshio Shinozuka.
It is winter now, and the fighting on the frontal battlefield has stopped for a while. Yoshio Shinozuka has withdrawn some troops from the frontal battlefield and is taking an emergency rest.
They must escape before Yoshio Shinozuka's reinforcements arrive.
"Yes, Brigadier." Li Yunlong and Kong Jie saluted together.
After sending off the brigade commander, Kong Jie was about to return to the independent regiment, but Li Yunlong grabbed him: "Kong Er, I have something to say first."
"Lao Li, don't worry, even if my independent group is exhausted and I can't bring back all the machine parts, I won't let Xiao Wu lose a hair!" Kong Jie said solemnly.
"It's not just that." Li Yunlong said, "When you bring Xiao Wu back, if Xiao Wu does something to you and makes your kid rich, you have to give me half of it!"
On the way to the 28th Regiment, Wu Ze was able to grab two mortars for the 28th Regiment.
Now that Wu Ze is being picked up by an independent group, it's not going to be easy. On the way back, Kong Jie is very likely to make a fortune under Wu Ze's guidance.
Li Yunlong wanted to divide his troops before. On the one hand, he wanted to take over Wu Ze personally, and on the other hand, he wanted to prevent Kong Er from taking it all for himself.
The people of our new group who go out and come up with ideas to get something, our new group must have a share.
"Li Yunlong, you kid is too smart with your abacus." Kong Jie called, "When the brigade commander will follow, most of the seizures will be laughed at by the brigade commander. Do you think I can beat the brigade commander? ?"
"The brigade commander can't take all of it. You can share with me half of what the brigade commander left for your independent regiment." Li Yunlong said.
"Old Li, you damn know how to bully the weak and avoid the strong. If you have the ability, why don't you go find the brigade commander for help!" Kong Jie shouted.
"Old Kong, you have to think about the problem from another angle." Li Yunlong dragged Kong Jie, "You want to be my deputy brigade commander, you give me things, you come to me to be the deputy brigade commander, this thing is not the same Is it yours? If you leave all the things in the Independent Group, and your boy is transferred to me, someone else will be the leader of the Independent Group, wouldn’t these things belong to others? "
"It seems to make sense." Kong Jie pretended to think for a moment and said, "Let me see if I can make money first."
After saying that, Kong Jie quickly stepped out of the way.
He was just flirting with Li Yunlong casually. We, Lao Kong, have no interest in you as the deputy brigade commander. We want to take it seriously!
Kong Jie left, and Li Yunlong came to the training ground: "Stop training, the whole group gathers."
Thousands of elite men in the new group who were training immediately gathered urgently. Against the heavy snow, everyone turned towards Li Yunlong with hard eyes.
"All subsequent training missions are cancelled. You should seize the time to recharge your batteries. In three days, we will set off to the brigade headquarters. We have important combat missions. Disband!" Li Yunlong ordered.
As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, the soldiers of the new regiment thundered:
"Great, we finally have a combat mission."
"Yes, after months of training, it's time to kill the little devil."
"I just don't know what this important combat mission is."
"No matter what the content is, the New Year is coming soon, so kill more little devils to celebrate the New Year!"
"Yes, that's right, kill a few more little devils and we'll celebrate the New Year!"
