After leaving the city, Wang Chengzhu was worried about being pursued by the Japanese and kept walking along the path.

More than 5 hours later.

Wang Chengzhu and his party walked on the small road for about 30 kilometers, and Heyuan County was far behind them. They also evacuated the Japanese blockade area and entered the buffer zone between the enemy and our controlled areas.

Wang Chengzhu stopped and said to everyone: "Everyone, this is far away from the blockade area of ​​​​the Japanese and puppet troops. You are all safe. Let's disband on the spot."

"Then thank you so much, Commander Wang. I cannot thank you enough. If there is any need for us in the future, we will do our best!"

The officers of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army clasped their fists at Wang Chengzhu gratefully.

Wang Chengzhu smiled and said: "We are united in the war of resistance. We are all doing our best for the country and fighting for our nation and homeland. We should help each other and share the same hatred!"

"I believe that even if it were someone else, they would definitely not sit idly by!"

Several people were moved by Wang Chengzhu's righteousness, and their favorable impressions of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army also improved a lot.

This also laid a good foundation for the subsequent liberation war. Of course, this is a story for later and will not be mentioned here for the time being.

Since Chu Yunfei was still wearing a Japanese military uniform, they did not recognize Chu Yunfei and only thought that he was a soldier under Wang Chengzhu. Therefore, after everyone thanked Wang Chengzhu again, they turned around and left.

Otherwise, they would definitely wait for Chu Yunfei to leave together.

After a few people walked away, Chu Yunfei also cupped his fists towards Wang Chengzhu: "Thank you brother Zhuzi for taking the risk to attend the appointment and helping me kill Ichiro Hirata, which made me feel bad."

Wang Chengzhu cupped his fists and returned the salute: "Brother Chu, you're welcome."

After this incident, Chu Yunfei saw Wang Chengzhu's courage, his ability to adapt to emergencies, and his ability to fight alone, so he said: "Brother Zhuzhu has extraordinary courage, strategic vision and tactical guidance ability.

Far beyond ordinary people, your future is boundless."

"I hope that you and I, brothers, will never meet on the battlefield in the future."

Chu Yunfei is a very far-sighted person, especially through Wang Chengzhu's last analysis, he also has the confidence to win the war.

But as a result, war will inevitably break out between the Kuomintang and the Communist armies. This kind of fratricidal civil war is what he does not want to see.

As a time traveler, Wang Chengzhu naturally understands the direction of history better than Chu Yunfei. He said: "If there is such a day, there is no way. Brother Chu takes action, and brother I have to take action, unless you put down your hand.

arms."

Chu Yunfei understood the meaning of Wang Chengzhu's words, smiled lightly, stopped worrying about this issue, and once again cupped his fists and handed over his hands: "Take care!"

Wang Chengzhu: "Take care!"

When Chu Yunfei walked away, Liu Mou asked curiously: "Commander Wang, is this not a comrade of your independent battalion?"

Wang Chengzhu smiled: "We would like to, but he won't agree."

Liu Mou: "He is?"

Wang Chengzhu: "Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army!"

Liu Mou may not know Chu Yunfei, but he has heard of his name. He is a popular man under Yan Laoxi. Although he is only a regiment commander in name, he is in charge of 5,000 troops and an artillery battalion.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yan Laoxi wants to focus on training Chu Yunfei, and it is only a matter of time before he gets promoted.

Liu Mou asked again: "Commander Wang, why did Commander Chu appear in Heyuan County? And from what I heard, it seems that he was following your command the whole time."

In fact, it's not surprising that Liu Mou was like this. The main reason was that Chu Yunfei was known to be arrogant and arrogant. An ordinary officer, let alone a brigade commander, even a division commander might not be able to direct him to do things.

But Wang Chengzhu was just a small battalion commander, and he was also the battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Chengzhu explained with a smile: "It can't be said that I commanded Captain Chu. The main reason is that I just helped him kill his big enemy Ichiro Hirata, so he sold me a favor and helped me to rob the prison together."

"Oh, that's it."

Liu Mou nodded. He had been arrested by the Japanese for some time, so he didn't know about the rebellion of the 358th regiment, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Wang Chengzhu asked again to a group of members of our party: "Everyone, I wonder if you will return to the Independence Camp base with me, or go find an organization on your own?"

Everyone said: "We still have a lot of important information to report to the organization, so we won't bother Battalion Commander Wang."

Wang Chengzhu: "That's fine! It's already safe here. If we go further west, we will reach the area controlled by our Eighth Route Army. Let's leave here."

"Okay, Commander Wang, see you later!"

The old party members looked at Wang Chengzhu with admiration in their eyes. Although they did not know Wang Chengzhu, they had all heard of Wang Chengzhu's deeds. The Eighth Route Army has such a young and promising commander, and the future is promising!

The guerrillas and Eighth Route Army soldiers looked at Wang Chengzhu with eyes full of admiration.

After they saluted Wang Chengzhu with clasped fists, they turned around and left.

Later, Wang Chengzhu and Duan Peng also took the loot and returned to Wangjiacun station as quickly as possible.

…

the next day.

As soon as Wang Chengzhu returned to the station, the first thing he did was to calculate the extra money he made at the Japanese Military Police Station and the Juxian Tower.

The large wooden box Wang Shugen got from Hirata Jiro contained more than 300 large yellow croakers.

The value of the yellow croaker alone exceeds 250,000 in the ocean. In addition, there are 20,000 US dollars and 100,000 yen.

In the early 1940s, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the ocean was about 1:3. In other words, 20,000 U.S. dollars was approximately equal to 60,000 ocean.

The exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the ocean is around 1:0.75. 100,000 yen is approximately equal to 75,000 ocean dollars.

Hirata Ichiro's small treasury alone exceeds 380,000.

In addition, the birthday gifts given to Ichiro Hirata by the landlords, evil gentry, and puppet army officers were all kinds of gifts, some directly gave cash or yellow croaker, and some gave jade articles, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Not counting jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, and other items that are difficult to value, the yellow croaker alone is worth more than 200,000 yuan. Adding those oceans, the total value of Hirata Ichiro's birthday gift is also more than 250,000 yuan.

In total, Wang Chengzhu made a fortune of more than 600,000 in Heyuan County and his party, not counting jades and antique calligraphy and paintings.

This is definitely a huge sum of money!

"Damn it, these landlords and evil gentry are really rich! We have to find a way to make some money from them!"

The monk on the side said sarcastically: "Battal Commander, these landlords and evil gentry were all killed by us in Juxian Tower. Can't you go to the Lord of Hell to ask them for money?"

Wang Chengzhu: "Stupid! They are dead, but don't they still have sons or grandchildren? Won't their descendants inherit the family property?"

The monk smiled innocently: "Yes!"
