"Captain, Dingxianglou has brought you a meal."
I just praised the food today and arranged for the waiter to deliver four dishes and one soup in the afternoon.
Ma Zilong wore a boy's clothes, walked in politely, and swaggered into the puppet army compound.
Zhang Lanqing indeed found nothing unusual.
He watched the other party place the dishes on the table one after another, and then stood aside without leaving.
Zhang Lanqing turned around and looked over, finally noticing something was wrong.
This is not the food delivery boy, he is clearly that Ma Zilong.
The other party was wearing a gray cloth shirt, and he looked very energetic under his thick eyebrows.
Both of them were relatively calm, looked at each other, and each verified their suspicions.
Ma Zilong spoke first:
"Thank you very much, Commander Zhang, for your noble hand today. Brother, I owe you my life."
"What are you talking about? I don't know you, and I can't understand what you are saying? Go back after the food is served and thank Shopkeeper Li for me."
"Captain Zhang, there is no need to pretend to be confused. You must have discovered my hiding place when we searched Dingxiang Tower in the morning. There is no harm in coming here this time. I just want to thank you in person. By the way, I advise Commander Zhang to understand the righteousness and stand firm." In the camp of joint resistance, drive the Japanese from our land."
Having said this, Zhang Lanqing did not continue to act stupid.
"If you don't mind, would you like to have a drink with us, Mr. Ma?"
The door was deliberately closed and the two of them took their seats.
He, Zhang Lanqing, was interested in fighting the Japanese, but had no interest in joining the Eighth Route Army or the Guo Army.
There are many ways to save the country through curves. Who said that being a puppet soldier means you can't fight the Japanese?
As long as all the puppet troops are taken care of, wouldn't it be possible to dominate the situation as the leader of the puppet troops?
Ma Zilong did not force it.
He had also considered before coming here that it was impossible to make people abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side with just one word.
But he has a new plan in mind. He wants to cooperate with Zhang Lanqing to see if the puppet army commander can help?
"Captain Zhang, I intend to organize a deep-level assassination to hunt down the Japanese gendarmerie captain. If I can get the specific deployment situation of the gendarmerie, I am 70 to 80% sure that I can kill the Japanese major commander."
Oh, Killer Hiichiro.
"If it's anything else, I, Zhang Lanqing, aren't interested, but if you want to assassinate Nohiichiro, I can provide some help. I'm very unhappy with him."
Lanfeng County is impregnable.
Not only the military police, but also Zhang Lanqing's pseudo-legion and Lieutenant Colonel Kasahara's cavalry regiment.
There are more than 2,000 troops in the county.
Executing the assassination plan at this time is extremely difficult.
The number of people in Ma Zilong's hands will never exceed 20. 20 people versus 2,000 people. Anyone with a little sense knows that it is impossible.
Unless they are a group of dead soldiers who are determined to kill themselves for mercy.
Zhang Lanqing looked at the person in front of him. The other person's eyes were particularly tenacious. He had the kind of character that set a goal and would achieve it at any cost.
Anyone who can carry out assassinations is a talented person.
"Then let's talk in detail, how can I help you?"
The two conspired in the room for a while, agreed on some code words, and sent Ma Zilong away.
Interesting, interesting. How can I, a Chinese, let a little devil overwhelm me and do his thing?
I finished the glass of wine and tasted it a little bit.
Today, I haven't used my entry ability yet, so I refreshed decisively and got three new entries, namely [Wolf-Hearted Dog-lunged], [Unstoppable Courage] and [Praise for Courage].
The last two are useful for improving the courage of his men. Liu Erdan is very loyal to Zhang Lanqing and is suitable to be trained as an absolute confidant.
As for Liu Tao, he has some minor problems, but he is obedient now. It is commendable to give him courage and improve his courage.
To do the next thing, one or two handy helpers are needed. Zhang Lanqing did not hesitate to take the opportunity to improve the abilities of the two puppet army battalion commanders.
"Liu Danqing, Liu Danqing,"
He pulled his neck and called twice. When no one responded, he changed his name and said, "Liu Erdan, get over here."
"Hey, here we come."
The guy who can't eat fine chaff is a wild boar, so I changed his name to Wenya, but I can't remember it.
The next moment, the boy was lying on the door, grinning silly.
"Brother, did you call me?"
Zhang Lanqing stood up and lifted his pants.
He holstered his pistol.
"How are the brothers training recently? I put them in your hands, so you can't be careless."
"Brother, don't worry. I've been practicing hard these past two days. The brothers have new guns and their marksmanship has also improved."
"Well, call Liu Tao over in a minute. I have important instructions. Tell these people under my command what you saw and what you heard. I will keep it all in my stomach. Don't say a word that shouldn't be said. Say more.”
He waved his hand to get out, and changed Liu Erdan's entry along the way.
Suddenly I felt like I was carrying the wind while walking, and a feeling of not being afraid of death came over me.
Liu Erdan puffed up his chest and shouted into the barracks: "When you have rested enough, come out and practice, practice bayonet, practice shooting, don't let me be lazy."
Liu Tao ran over in a hurry. This guy could barely be used as a lackey, and he was a good subordinate who could read people's words and emotions.
"My second battalion commander, Yang Guanxiong, is dead. He has no one to manage the 300 brothers. You should find a way to infiltrate and find a few trustworthy brothers to take over the security team."
"Okay, I'll do it now."
After giving these instructions, Zhang Lanqing took a deep breath. After absorbing the Lanfeng Security Group, he would have a thousand brothers.
It’s not too much to have a cavalry battalion, right?
We have to find a way to get a battalion of horses from the Japanese, and establish a good relationship with Lieutenant Colonel Kasahara. The horses are not a big problem.
The future is bright, and people feel refreshed when happy events occur.
He hummed unconsciously.
Ma Zilong and others temporarily went into hibernation and hid in Lanfeng County.
The Japanese, puppet troops, and detective teams searched the city and the villages and towns outside the city, but no useful clues were found.
This group of Tubalu disappeared from the sight of the search, just like Feitian escaped from the ground.
Nobiichiro was the most annoyed. He searched for two days and arrested a group of suspects.
After some tricks, all the pepper water tiger benches were summoned, and a lot of money was made, but no sign of Ma Zilong was found.
Nobiichiro found Lieutenant Colonel Kasahara and said without hesitation: "Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, I suspect that there are eight internal agents in the city, hiding among our people."
Lieutenant Colonel Kasahara frowned.
"Ma Zilong has been active in eastern Henan for a long time. Who do you suspect is his internal agent? Is there any evidence?"
"Not yet. I hope that your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, can arrange troops to cooperate with the search. Find Ma Zilong and this daring group of Eighth Route Army."
To be honest, Lieutenant Colonel Kasahara didn't want to get involved in such nonsense. He was the captain of the field force, so why did he care about the military police's nonsense.
Due to Nobiichiro's request, he had to express his feelings again.
"Captain Zhang Lanqing is very capable. I will arrange for him to help with the investigation. We will definitely find clues."
"That's so grateful."
After Yang Guanxiong was assassinated, Nobiichiro had no available manpower, and Huang Baidao of the detective team was not available.
More troops need to be mobilized to pursue clues, and a smart leader of the puppet army is needed to investigate the Eighth Route Army's hideout.
