Chapter 69 Thank you for your hard work (4.2K)
At this point, the identity of the man in the long gown was already revealed.
It was Qian Hao, the former captain of the armed combat team of the Xing City Guerrilla Detachment and now the platoon leader of the Independent Company of the Independent Battalion.
He also has another identity, that of a Japanese spy.
Code name - civet cat.
As early as when he was the captain of the martial arts team, Qian Hao often dealt with Japanese and puppet personnel because of work needs.
To make friends with these people, you need to spend money.
Frequently frequent places such as restaurants, casinos, and romantic places.
It didn't take long for Qian Hao to be completely corrupted by this lavish life and abandon his original intention.
After being targeted by Okamoto and Kawamoto, he was naturally developed into a spy.
Became a traitor and lackey.
The Xing City guerrilla detachment suffered the same mistake, and he was the heinous traitor.
"Mr. Kawamoto, the reason why we met today is because I have important information to provide you." Qian Hao said.
"Oh? What information? Tell me." Kawamoto's interest was successfully aroused.
Qian Hao said: "I can only say now that the contribution this intelligence can get is far greater than subverting the guerrilla detachment."
"In other words, the influence between the two cannot be compared at all."
Qian Hao added: "I am tired of my current life. I hope that after providing this information, I can get enough reward for the rest of my life."
"Then fly far away, leave here, and live a peaceful life."
Unexpectedly, Qian Hao actually negotiated terms with him, which made Kawamoto very unhappy.
But considering that he still had important information in his hand, he still asked:
"Then how much do you want?"
"Two hundred thousand yen, or US dollars of equivalent value, is fine!"
Qian Hao did it without thinking, obviously he had already planned it.
"Two hundred thousand yen? You are really a lion!"
Kawamoto murmured and sneered:
"You have to know that the monthly salary of a colonel in the Imperial Army is only 370 yen."
"If a colonel doesn't have to pay a dollar for food or drink, he needs to work for forty-five years to earn 200,000 yen."
"Why do you think your information has such value? Isn't it absolutely outrageous?"
Apparently Kawamoto felt that the price was too high and beyond what he could afford.
"Big shot, is it worth the price?" Qian Hao looked confident. He didn't believe that Kawamoto wouldn't give in when he heard this.
Kawamoto was startled. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, the muscles on his face still trembled uncontrollably.
This is definitely a high-level goal.
A real big fish.
If we can really arrest or kill people of this level.
Then the impact in North China and even the whole country will be absolutely explosive.
Qian Hao continued: "According to reliable information, the chief will pass through Lincheng County in the near future."
"I have the specific route and escort information in hand."
"As long as I get the money, I can immediately provide relevant information to the imperial army."
"I have served the imperial army so many times. There is no reason to cheat on such a big matter, not to mention that after I get the money, I hope to settle in Japan."
"If I become a great contributor to assisting the Imperial Army, I think my life after arriving in Japan will not be too difficult."
Qian Hao's words made Kawamoto even more convinced that he was there.
But he felt that this matter was of great importance and was far beyond the control of a small captain like him.
sidewalk:
"Wait here for a while. I'll go ask Lieutenant Commander Okamoto for instructions. I'll be back soon."
A quarter of an hour later, Kawamoto returned to the private room, panting heavily, and brought a small suitcase:
"Lieutenant Colonel Okamoto has agreed to your request. This is 50,000 yen in cash. You can take it after you provide specific information."
"Lieutenant Colonel Okamoto said that I need your assistance. After the operation is completed, I will give you the remaining 150,000 yen."
Qian Hao opened his suitcase, took out a wad of banknotes, put it in front of his nose and took a few deep breaths with a look of enjoyment on his face.
But his mind was extremely clear and he expressed his worries:
"I'm afraid that in the end, the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey should be cooked. I won't be able to get the remaining money if I live."
Qian Hao knew the Japanese way of doing things very well. If he agreed, he would most likely be killed in the end.
Kawamoto smiled and said: "The reason why I ask you to assist me is because the matter is so important that there is no room for any mistakes."
"Lieutenant Okamoto knew that you would have such worries, so he has ordered people to set off from Xing City to deliver our regiment's flag and hand it over to you."
"In this case, what else do you have to worry about?"
The Japanese military flag is only worn by the regiment.
In 1874, Emperor Meiji personally presented the flag to the 1st and 2nd Guards Regiments in Tokyo.
Each regiment flag of the Japanese army was personally issued and signed by the Emperor of Japan when it was formed to demonstrate his sense of honor.
For the Japanese army who work part-time in the alliance.
If the regiment is there, the military flag is there; if the regiment is not there, the military flag is not.
Therefore, the Japanese army attaches great importance to the regiment flag and requires that every unit must coexist with the military flag.
The Japanese army that was about to face defeat had to burn their regiment flags.
Moreover, once the regiment flag is captured by the enemy, all officers of the regiment headquarters to which it belongs will need to commit suicide by caesarean section.
Therefore, the Japanese army's regimental flag is a spiritual symbol that is more important than life.
Handing the alliance flag to Qian Hao was equivalent to handing Okamoto's life to him.
Qian Hao can completely entrust an intermediary if something unexpected happens to him.
Whether the middleman destroyed the alliance flag or handed it over to the Chinese army, the blow to Okamoto would be fatal.
Obviously, Qian Hao understood this. He stood up and bowed to Kawamoto:
"Hi! Thank you Lieutenant Colonel Okamoto for trusting me!"
"I will definitely assist the Imperial Army in completing this operation, please rest assured!"
The next day.
The escort mission took place at noon on the day of the operation.
Wang Liang listened to the work progress of the leaders of each company at the independent battalion headquarters.
Chen Feng first reported: "Our company conducted reconnaissance in the Yanjiazhuang, Nianziyu, and Chengjiazhuang areas."
"Seven observation posts were set up and divided into five mobile teams on standby in this area."
"So far, no special circumstances have been discovered."
"The observation post must not wear military uniforms and carry short guns, so as not to be exposed." Wang Liang warned.
Sun Chenghai continued: "The reconnaissance of Nanchang, Shimen, and Huanglinggou has been completed, and everything is normal."
Zhou Weiguo also said: "We have conducted a survey and platoon on the enemy's forces at the Banbangou defense line."
"It's about half a company of puppet troops, about forty people, plus five Japanese soldiers."
"A turret and three bunkers were built on the Banbangou defense line, lined up in a row."
"In addition, a trench nearly 100 meters long was dug, and ten people were on duty inside during the day."
"At night, the number of people is reduced by half, and the guards are more lax."
After Wang Liang thought for a while, he warned: "Well, no matter how small the number of enemies is, if you can't help but shoot, then absolutely don't shoot."
"When encountering an emergency, try to solve it with cold weapons. Don't I have two crossbows? Bring them with you."
Wang Liang suddenly thought that the two crossbows awarded to him by the system were gathering dust there, and it was time to put them to use.
"Remember, this mission is not a battle."
