Isamu Terauchi, who had been waiting for many days, finally received Zhou Weihan's reply and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The exchange of 450 tons of rails for weapons and equipment is naturally not a small sum.
Zhou Weihan and Temple Yong agreed to meet at Chuanxiang Tower in Wuyi to discuss specific matters.
On the night when he received the news, Terauchi returned to Wuyi by car overnight.
Along the Handan-Chang Highway, all the way to Wu'an, and then north to Wuyi, although the various strongholds have not yet been restored, the security is surprisingly good.
With the tacit understanding of the two major forces to maintain a balance with each other, all unstable factors, large and small, in the two counties were swept away.
The regiment and battalion that were still operating around the highway did not cause any trouble. On the one hand, Zhou Weihan's orders were there, and on the other hand, Temple Yong was really good at being a man. He sent someone to deliver a cart of supplies to the first battalion. The food was better than in the base area.
good.
On the Yama Mountain.
Zhao Gang learned that Zhou Weihan was going to Wuyi County in person tomorrow to meet with Temple Yong, but surprisingly he did not stop him.
In the independent detachment, only Zhou Weihan and Li Da were able to work with Temple Yong, but only Zhou Weihan could fully represent the Eighth Route Army.
With Li Da's level of ability, he is not qualified to discuss this matter with Si Nei Yong.
"Early tomorrow morning, let the reconnaissance company send some soldiers to sneak into the city first, and the rest of the soldiers will respond outside the city. Now that the situation in the city is clear, you are entering the city!" Zhao Gang asked worriedly.
In order to avoid Zhao Gang's worries, Zhou Weihan had to respond one by one and let him arrange whatever he wanted.
After Zhao Gang finished talking to Zhou Weihan, he said to the monk beside him: "Monk, I leave the safety of the detachment leader to you. You have to bring the detachment leader back to me safely!"
The monk grinned with a common honest smile: "Political Commissar, don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to the detachment leader!"
Zhao Gang felt relieved now, but he still kept talking like an old woman.
This time the independent detachment really caused a lot of harm to the Japanese army. Zhao Gang knew with his ass that the little Japanese hated this.
As the number one figure in the independent detachment, if Zhou Weihan was captured alive, it would be a huge achievement within the Japanese army.
Therefore, how could Zhao Gang feel relieved?
Wu Yi.
Terauchi Isamu is listening to Watanabe report on recent work.
"Okay, Watanabe-kun, you did a great job this time!" Terauchi Isamu waved his hand, signaling Watanabe to step back.
After Watanabe left, Isamu Terauchi asked his adjutant to call Yuzo Ishioka, the deputy captain of the military police.
Ishioka Yuzo has the rank of captain and is Watanabe's deputy.
Although Watanabe is Terauchi Isamu's confidant, his ability is really pitiful, and he does have a certain skill when it comes to eating and drinking.
Therefore, the temple leader Yong gave him the name, but did not give him the actual power. On weekdays, Yuzo Ishioka presides over the daily work of the military police, which is quite a check and balance.
"Your Excellency Colonel, a woman named Sadako Ikeda has been in close contact with Mr. Watanabe in the past two days. She had a secret meeting with Mr. Watanabe in the office at night. According to the investigation, this person arrived in Wuyi more than a month ago and was nominally...
He came to seek refuge with his relatives, but the businessman of the company he sought refuge with had no kinship with him!" Ishioka Yusanhui reported.
"It's really suspicious. Send someone to keep an eye on her!" Isamu Terauchi couldn't help but think of his old enemy, Toichi Terai. Apart from him, no one would have an informant around him.
"If anything unusual happens, take action immediately!" Isamu Terauchi gestured. As long as his own interests are violated, even if it is his own compatriots, Isamu Terauchi will not show mercy.
The Watanabe chosen by Sadako Ikeda is indeed an excellent breakthrough target, and he has obtained a lot of secret information.
However, after Temple bravely left, Watanabe, the military police captain, did not have as much control over the Japanese troops in Wuyi County as he had imagined, and it was not enough to ensure her safety.
The next day, the reconnaissance company had already taken the lead.
Zhou Weihan was wearing a long robe and a sun hat on his head.
The accompanying monks and Tian Defu were dressed much cooler than Zhou Weihan, wearing shorts.
The horse riding and galloping all the way went smoothly, and all the strongholds along the way were allowed. After all, the only people who dared to gallop in Wuyi, except for the little devil, were the Eighth Master.
Arriving at the tea stall outside the city, Zhou Weihan met Cao Dabao from the reconnaissance company.
"Detachment leader, the company commander is here to send someone to inform you that there is nothing abnormal in the city!" Cao Dabaohui reported.
Zhou Weihan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no one could guarantee whether Terauchi Isamu would break up with him.
Leaving the war horse at the tea stall, the three of them walked into the city.
The puppet soldiers at the gate of the city had their heads lowered, and two Japanese soldiers were hiding in the shade under the city wall smoking, turning a blind eye to the bulges around their waists.
The meeting place was still Chuanxiang Restaurant. Outside the restaurant, some soldiers from the reconnaissance company were scattered around.
Shopkeeper Feng of Chuanxiang Tower personally welcomed Zhou Weihan into the private room. Zhou Weihan pushed the door open and entered, while the two monks stood guard outside the door.
Temple Yong is a man of etiquette and has been waiting in the private room for a long time.
Different from last time, Isamu Terauchi was wearing a military uniform today and arrived at Sichuan Xianglou with great fanfare. He seemed to have no intention of concealing his identity.
Zhou Weihan took off his hat, put his right hand on his chest, and nodded.
"Mr. Zhou, you were too cautious in making me wait!" Isamu Terauchi pointed to the window and said with a smile.
When Zhou Weihan sat down, Si Nai Yong poured a bowl of herbal tea, pushed it in front of Zhou Weihan, and the two of them drank it in one gulp.
"Terauchi-kun, you are not making any big mistakes. We just got into trouble. If you hadn't called me, I would still be hiding in the mountain!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"You're right to be careful, look at this!" Isamu Terauchi took out a photo from his pocket.
Zhou Weihan was horrified when he saw the contents of the photo. Isn't this his own family photo? How could Isamu Terauchi have it?
"This photo appeared at a high-level meeting in Peiping a few days ago. I don't know exactly how it came about, but you have already put your name on General Gangcun, and you are offering a reward of 400,000 yuan!" Isamu Terauchi explained.
"Oh, I didn't know my life and fortune were so valuable!" Zhou Weihan glanced at Terauchi Isamu and said half-jokingly.
"Zhou Jun, I really admire your courage. You are an admirable opponent!"
"So, let's talk about the deal. How many railroad tracks do you have?"
