Section 1333 Promise of appointment
The strangle refers specifically to the bandits gathered in the Northeast to plunder people's wealth, also known as "Hu bandits" or "Beards".
After the Japanese occupied the Northeast, some of these strands helped the evildoers and defected to the Japanese to become traitors, while others joined the anti-Japanese activities. This strand in front of Gui Youguang was like this.
The two sides chatted in the snow for a while. The shopkeeper Lanzi waved his cloak and invited Gui Youguang to walk with him. The rest followed closely behind, and everyone walked along a small path towards the depths of the forest.
On the way, Gui Youguang noticed that there were many people hidden in the forest. He pretended not to notice anything, and walked side by side with the shopkeeper talking and laughing.
But after careful observation, he found that he used the shopkeeper to block the vital position, and the same was true for other military spies, and found a leader to block the shooting angle.
At the end of the team, the sixth leader Ma Ruilin and Wu Jingzhong said while walking, and both of them smelled a familiar smell on each other.
This is normal. Wu Jingzhong once studied at Sun Yat-sen University in Mosk and participated in the underground party. To some extent, he is indeed the same as Ma Ruilin.
Two gangs of people circled left and right in the forest and came to a hidden valley. There were several "horse racks" located in the valley. There were many people moving around. This place was the clan of Jianzi.
The horse shelf, as its name suggests, is shaped like a saddle, has no four walls and windows, and only has a door open on the front to enter and exit.
Although this kind of building has relatively poor warmth, it uses simple materials and is easy to build. It is a common outdoor shelter for lumberjacks, bandits and hunters.
Looking down from the sky, the cedars and birch trees with snowflakes blocked the horses tightly, no wonder they could escape the Japanese aerial reconnaissance.
In addition to the crusade team, the air force is an important means for the Japanese to deal with the Anti-Japanese United Army and the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas. As long as flames and smoke pillars are found in the air, the Japanese army within a radius of hundreds of miles will receive news and encircle and intercept them.
"Sir, please~"
In the village, the shopkeeper raised his hand and shouted, walking towards the largest horse rack under his feet. Gui Youguang and others quickly took a step to follow.
When they entered the house, there was no longer the biting cold wind, the spies breathed a sigh of relief and took off their hats from their heads.
Because the fire was not allowed to be made or lighted, the horse rack was quite dim. The shopkeeper sat down on a chair covered with tiger skin and started talking to the military unit.
"Please sit down, we are a bit simple, please forgive me, the sir. I wonder what you are doing this time?"
While speaking, Jianzi and the spies stood left and right, and Wu Jingzhong, who was in the second position on his left, bowed his hand and made a few polite words to the other party.
"I have long heard that the shopkeeper is famous. In recent years, you and your brothers have killed many Japanese and traitors, which has made the Japanese and the puppet Manchukuo scared. Such patriotism can be revealed."
The shopkeeper waved his hand when he heard this and said impatiently: "Don't talk about that useless thing. Sir, what do you want us to do? As long as you can't get along with the Japanese, we will never say anything."
Wu Jingzhong was not embarrassed when he was interrupted. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ma Ruilin opposite him, and handed it to the shopkeeper, and at the same time he explained his purpose.
"We were assigned by Director Dai of the Military Commission to carry out missions in Harbin. We hope to get the help of the shopkeeper. This is the letter of appointment given to you by Shancheng. The State Government has appointed you as the Major General Guerrilla Commander."
The snares broke out in a flash. As the saying goes, killing people and setting fires, most bandits wanted to wash their hands, and even "turn from black to white".
Not to mention the distant future, the Northeast King was just one of the many leaders at that time. After being Zhao'an of the previous dynasty, he turned into a horse leader and eventually ruled the country.
Why can't they do what the other party can do? Then they will not be the regiment commander and brigade commander.
An anxious little leader immediately knelt on one knee: "Congratulations to the boss, congratulations to the boss, brothers are willing to continue to work with you. Who dares to rebel (rebellion), I lit his sky lantern."
"Yes, Commander."
"Big shopkeeper, you will be very upset with your order."
Suddenly, a group of people fell to their knees in the air, people walked to high places and water flowed to low places. Who would be an official and would be a bandit?
Seeing this, the shopkeeper laughed. He took the letter of appointment and looked left and right. He couldn't see enough, and his face was full of joy.
The only one who was Ma Ruilin remained calm in the trap. He approached the big shopkeeper's ear and whispered something. The big shopkeeper frowned and asked Wu Jingzhong a few questions with a restrained smile.
"Sir, for the sake of the lives of my brothers, I have to ask clearly about some things, what are your tasks and what help we need.
In addition to this letter of appointment, are there any other benefits? Otherwise, I would not be able to let my brothers die in life and death."
After hearing this, Wu Jingzhong clapped his hands directly. The two spies took off their backpacks, took out piles of Japanese yen and pseudo Manchukuo ration tickets and threw them on the ground.
Guru~
Looking at the piles of banknotes and bills, the bandits kept swallowing, their eyes were like hooks, staring firmly at the thin pieces of paper.
Needless to say, the Japanese yen is absolutely hard currency in pseudo-Manchukuo. The key is ration tickets, which are good things that cannot be bought with money.
The economy of the puppet Manchukuo is highly dependent on Japan, and its resources and production are preferred for the Japanese army's war needs. With the imminent Pacific war, the supply of materials in the puppet Manchukuo area is seriously insufficient.
In order to concentrate on control resources and stabilize social order, Manchukuo has launched a ration ticket system and restricted people's access to daily necessities through planned allocation.
The types of tickets are diverse, covering multiple fields such as grain, daily necessities, fuel, and cloth. They are issued according to household registration, and the number is very small.
Since the launch of the bill system, it has become increasingly difficult for Kazi to obtain materials from the market. Today, I was surprised and happy to see so many supply tickets.
Ma Ruilin was also shocked. He walked a few steps to the money ticket, bent down and picked up a special grain ration ticket to check carefully, so as not to fool the military commander with fake tickets.
But no matter how he looks at it, these supply tickets are no different from the real ones, paper, printed font, format, and size.
Wu Jingzhong and Gui Youguang smiled faintly. The Military Control Commission could even print Japanese yen, let alone supply tickets. They could print as much as the other party wanted.
The shopkeeper saw from Ma Ruilin's reaction that the bill was fine, so he immediately slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up and greeted Gui Youguang and the others with an inappropriate military salute. He agreed to the recruitment, and the other knots also followed suit.
Wu Jingzhong solemnly returned the gift, invited the shopkeeper back to his seat, and then began to talk about the content of the task, of course, it was only a small part of it.
"We are planning to destroy Wanggang Airport in the outskirts of Harbin. According to the information we have, a brother named Liu Guotai of your department once served at Wanggang Airport. I'm right?"
"No," the shopkeeper nodded, pointed at one of them and shouted: "He is Liu Guotai, the news from the superior is very informative."
Ma Ruilin, who had returned to the crowd, glanced at the black-faced man not far away. It seemed that he was not wrong. The other party was indeed from the national government.
On the day the newcomer joined, he chatted with Liu Guotai. At that time, the black-faced man was always following them, listening but not talking.
For a gang, this person's curiosity was a bit too strong. Based on this, Ma Ruilin judged that the black-faced man was probably an intelligence officer and an agent of the Military Affairs Bureau.
Because in addition to the underground party, the only intelligence agency of the State Government that could persist in fighting in the puppet Manchukuo was the Military Control Commission. What happened today proves Ma Ruilin's speculation.
On the other hand, Liu Guotai walked out of the crowd tremblingly, Wu Jingzhong comforted him with a few words of gentle words, and then asked.
"Mr. Liu, how many pilots can you convince to join the government? Who is the most reliable here?"
After thinking carefully, Liu Guotai gave the answer and said a name: "Most of the pilots of the Third Flying Team have the intention to surrender, among which Su Qiwen is the most determined."
According to Liu Guotai's story, Su Qiwen, male, from Twin Cities in Black Province, graduated from the New Beijing Air Force School, is the squad leader, and is very prestigious among pilots.
His brother was in the Northeast Army. After the incident, he was beaten to death by the Japanese for participating in the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. Su Qiwen was burdened with family enemies and witnessed the various tragic scenes of the Japanese army wantonly killing their compatriots. He hated the Japanese very much.
While chatting with friends and fellow villagers, Su Qiwen repeatedly stated that he was preparing to find an opportunity to do something big, which was an excellent target for rebellion.
Wu Jingzhong thought about it, tilted his head and discussed with the high colonel for a while. Then the high colonel took Liu Guotai out of the air, preparing to find a place to ask the other party about some flying knowledge.
Doing so is to determine Liu Guotai’s identity, and to determine the training level of the third flight team.
If this matter is a trap, the possibility that the Japanese will let a real pilot lurk is very small. At most, a traitor will be sent to carry out the mission. Such a person will inevitably be unable to pass the interrogation of the colonel.
Even though Liu Guotai did not lie, if the flight technology of the Third Flying Team was too poor, they would still not be able to undertake the flight work required for the mission. At that time, the colonel would have to go on the battle personally and fly a new plane back to the Guomao District.
This is also the reason why Zuo Chong chose the other party to join the action. He had to prepare both ways for anything. It would be too late to regret it when the matter was about to come.
After the colonel Gao and Liu Guotai left, Wu Jingzhong came to the shopkeeper to discuss the specific steps of the action. Gui Youguang gave a wink at the Sixth Head Ruilin, and the two walked outside the door one after another.
Standing under the tree, Gui Youguang handed out an envelope and spoke first: "Sixth Head, right? Someone asked me to bring you a letter."
Ma Ruilin took the envelope with both hands, opened it and asked only one thing after reading it: "I will cooperate with your actions. What should I do next?"
Gui Youguang looked at the forest in the distance, turned his head to reveal his white teeth: "Are there any other strands around here, especially those strands that do evil but do not surrender to the Japanese?"
Ma Ruilin nodded vigorously: "Yes, this group of people is cruel and ruthless. As long as there is a benefit, anyone dares to kill anyone."
