Pingyao, the headquarters of the 244th Brigade of the 15th Army.

Fu Yue was lucky enough to save his life in Jincheng. In the past few months after returning to Pingyao, the most important thing he did was to catch young men.

Jiangdong detained all the soldiers of the 244th Brigade at that time, and only released some officers and veteran ruffians.

The establishment of the 244th Brigade is 5,000. Fu Yue has been busy for several months and has not been able to get the establishment together. Currently, the entire brigade still has two regiments in name, but the total number of all soldiers is just over 2,000.

If placed in the 39th Army Corps, these 2,000 men would not even be able to form a regiment.

The Fenhe River Basin was looted by the Japanese army many times, and the people fled to death. Fu Yue had no place for him to catch young men if he wanted to.

He had always remembered Jiang Dong's humiliation in his mind. The scene of him excreting and urinating, kneeling and wailing would still appear in his dreams from time to time. Fu Yue had no other skills, but he was the best in the world at holding grudges.

It is impossible for Wei Junru and his brother-in-law Wu Tinglin to stand up for his trivial matters. He can only rely on himself to take revenge.

The army was short of soldiers and the strength gap between the two was too great. Fu Yue gradually embarked on a path of no return.

At the 244th Brigade Headquarters, the door of Fu Yue's room was closed, and there were four guards holding flower traps standing outside the door.

"Brigadier Fu, this is 100 taels of gold. The imperial army will never break its promise!"

A wretched-looking man opened the box and revealed the golden little yellow croaker inside.

Fu Yue's eyes were dazzled by the gold, and his body became light and airy.

He impatiently grabbed a small yellow croaker, put it to his mouth and took a big "gnaw". After confirming that it was real, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Mr. Takeshita is indeed a trustworthy person, so...so..."

The wretched Japanese named Takeshita was scornful in his heart, but his face was filled with smiles.

"Brigadier Fu, this gold is only half of what the imperial army promised you, and the other half will be sent to you in a while. How have you considered that matter?"

Fu Yue brought the gold to his side, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"I'm afraid it will take some time to do that. I only have 2,000 soldiers at hand, and most of them are new recruits who have not been trained very much. I am full of ambition but not strong enough!

If Mr. Takeshita can give me more gold, I might be able to recruit some warriors and the time for doing that thing can be moved forward."

"Brigadier Fu, soldiers and equipment are not a problem. As long as you agree, I can send you 2,000 people within three days. They are all veterans of long-term war. They will all obey your command!"

Fu Yue knew what the other party meant, but he was not that courageous yet, so he waved his hand hurriedly.

"This is too risky, let me think about it again..."

"Don't you want to take revenge?" The wretched Takeshita continued to seduce,

"The Jiangdong army is getting bigger and bigger, and they have recently begun to build guns and artillery. If you don't act quickly, you will never have a chance in the future."

Hearing Jiang Dong's name, Fu Yue's eyes were filled with resentment.

"I want Jiang Dong to go through everything I have gone through, and I want to snatch all the women under his command and play with them... in front of him!"

Fu Yue gritted his teeth and saliva spurted out from between his teeth.

"Yoshi, as long as you have enmity with Jiangdong, you can be friends with our Empire of Japan!" Takeshita thought for a while and then continued:

"Gold is just a little bit of the Empire of Japan's intention to make friends. If it succeeds, the Special High School can recommend Brigadier Fu to be the commander of the Second Army of the Imperial Association Army.

As you know, the commander of the Second Army, Rong Ziheng, was brutally killed by Jiangdong. The candidate for the commander of this army has never been decided. The Second Army has more than 20,000 people. If you add Brigadier Fu’s troops, the number will be close to 30,000.

.

With 30,000 soldiers in hand, and with the cooperation of the imperial army, it will be easy to seek revenge from Jiangdong!"

Fu Yue's brother-in-law Wu Tinglin is the commander of the 15th Army, but since that incident, this brother-in-law's attitude towards him has become much colder. He is usually business-like and even looks down on him more and more.

All aspects of the situation were added together, and Fu Yue was moved.

"I want 2,000 men and equipment, but you can't send them here, but I have to catch them myself." Once he made up his mind, Fu Yue started to use his brain crazily.

"The equipment was sent secretly, and the people were scattered everywhere. I accepted it in the name of catching strong men!"

Takeshita was overjoyed and agreed wholeheartedly.

"One more thing must be made clear. I am the commander of the 244th Brigade, and your people must obey my orders. When to act and what method to take must be decided by me!"

"Of course, of course..." Takeshita had his own thoughts, but he agreed very neatly.

"Besides, this is an extremely risky thing after all. In order for my brothers to be of the same mind as me, in addition to gold, I also need the ocean, at least 20 yuan per person!"

Takeshita hesitated slightly,

"Twenty dollars, not much, I'll try my best to get it for you!"

After Fu Yue's eyes rolled, he was thinking about what else he could get from the Japanese.

Now is the best time to make demands and conditions. Once you start taking action, you won't be able to help yourself.

"My troops are only responsible for opening the gap and will not participate in subsequent battles!"

"Can!"

Fu Yue thought about it again, and it seemed like nothing happened, so he nodded and said:

"That's all I want. I will continue to go to the countryside to catch young men tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

Takeshita understood what he meant and said:

"I'll leave two people here. If you need anything, please contact me anytime!"

"Send gold and ocean as soon as possible. Only real gold and silver can make my brothers work for me." This is the fourth time Fu Yue has mentioned gold.

"If something happens because the money is not available, I will not be responsible!"

"rest assured!"

"Crunch!"

The wooden door was opened, and Takeshita and Fu Yue exchanged simple greetings in front of everyone, talking about the same things between soldiers and businessmen.

Two more shrewd-looking people were left at Fu Yue's headquarters by Takeshita.

After leaving the station of the 244th Brigade, Takeshita's face suddenly fell.

"Greedy Chinese, your dream won't last long!"

He muttered quietly in Japanese.

Takeshita was followed by two people, all dressed as clerks, and one of them was carrying a load of goods on his shoulders.

The three of them wandered around the town, heading into remote alleys. When they appeared on the street again, they had already changed their outfits.

Unkempt and disheveled, they looked like three beggars.

At the street corner, an old man selling pancakes slowly narrowed his eyes.

While making pancakes, he whispered to a customer in front of him:

"The target's identity is confirmed, we can start taking action!"

The guest took the pancake, paid a few copper coins, and nodded while eating.

…

The three Takeshita walked carefully on the road. The further away from the town, the fewer people were on the road.

After walking for about an hour, there were only three lonely figures left 500 meters before and after the road.

"Your Excellency, please rest for a while. We will be safe after climbing over the mountain." The man who had previously picked up the cargo said panting.

Takeshita looked at the surrounding environment and felt that there was no danger, so he agreed.

They leaned under a big tree, one of them took out a kettle from his dirty clothes, unscrewed the lid and handed it to Takeshita's hand.

"call!"

Takeshita exhaled and raised his head to drink water.

"Grrrrrrrr..."

Water kept flowing out of the spout of the pot, but it did not flow into Takeshita's mouth. The clear water flowed down Takeshita's chin and into his dirty clothes.

Takeshita raised his head and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

On the tree about two meters above his head, a pair of dark eyes were also staring at him.

The first person to ask for a rest was already thirsty. Looking at the water flowing out of Takeshita's mouth, he raised his arms:

"Your Mightiness……"

As soon as the two words were spoken, a sudden sound was heard from the treetops above the head. At the same time, the kettle in Takeshita's hand was slammed against the treetops.

The kettle collided with a black shadow in mid-air.

…

…

November 2nd!

Border District Government, Dingbian County.

The 100-meter-high drilling equipment is working non-stop, and the earth makes a thumping sound.
