69. Meet

Laiyang County

"Weiguo, are we finally going to meet?" Takeshita Jun took Zhou Weiguo's letter and felt a little happy in his heart. The two had not seen each other since they came back from Germany. Of course they were happy to meet now. But, after all, he

He deceived Zhou Weiguo. He received the order and reported to the 10th Division. Later, he had a confrontation with Zhou Weiguo during the Battle of Nanjing. However, his failure in the Battle of Nanjing resulted in his being transferred from the 10th Division.

Regiment and stayed at the headquarters. Until Juichi Terauchi asked him to form a special forces team, and he has made a comeback until now.

He always remembered the earnestness and seriousness under that young man's bright eyes during his two years in Germany. His sword skills and Japanese were all taught by him with great care. He wanted him to be able to cut a knife every time he spoke Japanese in the future.

, I always remember him as my friend.

"Master Liu, finally, I can meet Lord Zhou again." Miyamoto Shigeru said to Takeshita Shun on the side.

Takeshita Jun nodded. In fact, he has not been happy in these years. Every time he thinks of his days in Germany, he feels guilty for Zhou Weiguo. He once told Zhou Weiguo that he learned these things to defend his motherland instead of invading other people's countries.

, he is also serious about these. However, there is no way for soldiers to resist orders.

"I originally thought that I would meet with Wei Guo first, but I really didn't expect that Wei Guo would know about it just after I arrived in Laiyang." Takeshita Jun smiled happily, "What would Zhou Weiguo look like on the battlefield?

?Miyamoto, do you want to take a look?"

Miyamoto also smiled and said, "Probably, it's the same style as when he competed with the stream master in swordsmanship."

"Yes. He is always so confident." Takeshita Jun sighed, remembering Zhou Weiguo's words again. "Takeshita Jun, as long as you hold a weapon and set foot on Chinese territory, then you will be my enemy, Zhou Weiguo.

"



Qingfengzhai

Looking at the moon in the sky, Zhou Weiguo opened a rare bottle of wine and drank it himself. Knowing that Jun Takeshita had come to Laiyang, he felt complicated.

His failure in the battle to defend Nanjing directly led to the death of many of his brothers, the Guanghua Gate was almost lost, and he was seriously injured and recuperated for a long time.

Zhou Weiguo didn't know how he should face Takeshita Jun. He learned swordsmanship and Japanese from Takeshita Jun. In his previous battles, he was always unfavorable. Speaking of which, he has many of the achievements he has now.

It was given by Takeshita Jun. In the original drama, the leader of the Beichen Itto style, Chiba Masao, was assassinated by the Japanese military because of his opposition to the war. Takeshita Jun's junior sister, Kobayashi Keiko, was also hunted down and later fled to China to find Takeshita.

hansome.

It's all war!

There is no doubt that Takeshita Jun is naive.



July 3, 1938, early morning

"I think everyone should know that there are still many vacancies in our independent division." Zhou Weiguo took the microphone, looked at the 9,000 people in front of him, and said, "Today, we are going to conduct a selection! We have candidates from each brigade and regiment.

Senior officers, the meeting will all look at you. In our independent division, the most capable will always be promoted! As long as you show enough talent, then your military rank and future will be in your hands, as long as you do not treason, do not bully the people, do not engage in corruption, and do not

Corruption, as long as you fight to kill the Japanese on the battlefield, money will not be a problem."

"The first event is a 10-kilometer long-distance running competition. Among the 9,000 people, only the top 1,000 will be selected to enter the next round." Zhou Weiguodao, "The starting point is our Qingfeng Village, and the end point is the Eighth Route Army's Hutou Mountain. Start!"

Following Zhou Weiguo's order, people surged and began to walk down Qingfeng Village in an orderly manner.



After a whole day of selection and selection, all the officers of the Independent Division selected their favorite subordinates, and then the remaining 8,000 people were divided equally among the 9 regiments, with each regiment having less than 1,000 men.

But fortunately, the new recruits have been trained, and the veterans of Qingfeng Village have seen blood.

"Hahaha." Zhu Ziming kept laughing. As a bandit, he preferred subordinates with some personality. He kept smiling as he watched Li Wu, Shoutian and others choose their subordinates.

"Brother, are you so happy?" Zhou Weiguo said helplessly.

"Of course. Now look at how many people and guns we have in Qingfeng Village. I never dared to think about it before!" Zhu Ziming sighed, "I never dared to think that I would become an officer of the Kuomintang. This is a glorious ancestor.

It’s something.”



At 12 o'clock on July 4, 1938, Laixi Yuehu Mountain Pavilion

Zhou Weiguo took Xu Hu and Liu San to the Banshan Pavilion, then took out a jar of wine and placed a few small plates.

Not far away, two people in kimono came over.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the person walking towards him, and slowly transformed from two black dots into two blurry figures, and then into the appearance of Takeshita Jun a year ago. That, in his memory, Takeshita Jun had a gentle smile.

, in that memory, the pain in his eyes was that of Takeshita Jun who was cut off from his friendship. I have to say that here, it was not only influenced by the original owner, but also by the original work. In the original play, when Takeshita met Zhou Weiguo,

Seeing that Zhou Weiguo was missing an arm. In the end, Takeshita dueled with Zhou Weiguo and cut off one of his arms. Then, Takeshita Jun himself hit Zhou Weiguo's knife and ended his life. Since then, the dispute between the two ended. Zhou Wen himself admired it very much.

Takeshita Jun, I feel sorry for him.

Xu Shi saw Zhou Weiguo in the pavilion, and Takeshita Jun quickened his pace.

"Weiguo." Takeshita, wearing a gray-black kimono, shouted with a smile.

Zhou Weiguo felt much better when he saw Takeshita Jun like this. The corners of his mouth raised, he looked at him and said, "Sit down."

It was probably a long time since they had seen each other, so the two of them were in a pretty good mood.

"Weiguo, I haven't seen him for a long time." Takeshita Jun said with a smile. Zhou Weiguo is still the same as in his memory. Maybe he went to the battlefield and saw a lot of blood, and there is a different temperament around him.

"Indeed." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "It's been a year. A year ago, you and I broke off our friendship. A year later, you finally stood on the land of China with weapons. Takeshita, you finally became

Killed my enemies."

"I'm sorry." Takeshita Jun was a little embarrassed by Zhou Weiguo's sharp words. He once told Zhou Weiguo, but he made a mistake. "But, Weiguo, you and I are both soldiers, and it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders."

Hearing Takeshita's reply in Japanese, Zhou Weiguo said lightly, "I'm really sorry. I haven't spoken Japanese for so long and I can't understand it anymore."

Takeshita raised his eyebrows, and then said in Chinese, "Weiguo is joking. In Berlin last year, Weiguo spoke Japanese so fluently that the Japanese expatriates thought that you were a subject of our Empire of Japan.

"

"The Empire of Japan?" Zhou Weiguo sneered. When it came to national-level issues, Zhou Weiguo could no longer maintain a friendly tone towards Takeshita Shun and became angry. "An empire on a small island? Volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis?

"

"Weiguo, you?" Takeshita Jun looked at Zhou Weiguo in shock. In the past, Zhou Weiguo would never slander or say he looked down on Japan like this. In other words, although Zhou Weiguo hated Japan before, he never looked down upon Japan.

"What? Do you think it has changed a lot?" Zhou Weiguo sneered, "Is it different from the Zhou Weiguo you remember?"

"Weiguo, you and I are both soldiers. There are some things that I have no choice about. We are the same in this regard!" Takeshita Jun said anxiously.

"No, we are different. You became the invader, and I was defending my country." Zhou Weiguo looked at Takeshita Jun and said seriously, "You deceived me, Takeshita."

"Weiguo, I'm sorry." Takeshita Jun said helplessly, "Weiguo, let me introduce to you, this is my subordinate, Mr. Miyamoto Shigeru." Miyamoto Shigeru, who was next to Takeshita Jun, then said to Zhou Weiguo,

"Mr. Zhou, the reason why we entered China from Japan is to liberate you from such corrupt and incompetent rulers, to bring you democracy and civilization, and to prevent you from becoming like European and American countries.

Colonies. In essence, we are all Eastern countries with similar cultural backgrounds. Why can't we unite to create common prosperity in Greater East Asia?"

Zhou Weiguo sneered and said, "Colonial rule is not called democracy, murderous rule is not called civilization, aggression is aggression. I think everyone should know the first achievement of the new commander of your army's North China Front, Gen. Sugiyama Moto, who took office."

"A crazy concentration of poison gas bombs killed more than 100,000 ordinary people in our country in their sleep, as well as more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of our independent division. Is this what you call the Linyi victory and the so-called co-prosperity in Greater East Asia?"

Takeshita Jun was silent. He could not refute any of this. He always believed that war was a matter between soldiers. He never agreed with the actions of other Japanese soldiers, but he could not stop it.

Zhou Weiguo then said, "Okay, let me introduce to you. The person on the left used to be my guard, Xu Hu. Now, he is the deputy brigade commander of the Second Brigade of my independent division. The person on my right is named Liu San.

, now my guard. Third brother, Huzi, say hello."

Xu Hu and Liu San nodded to Takeshita Jun, then stood behind Zhou Weiguo and stopped talking.

Takeshita Shun was a little helpless. He also knew that if he reached Chinese territory with weapons, he would definitely offend Zhou Weiguo. However, as a soldier, he had no choice but to do so.

"Weiguo, I didn't expect that you actually brought wine." Takeshita Jun said, "I really miss my days in Berlin."

"Although we have broken off our friendship with you a long time ago and cut off our robes, after all, you show up here with weapons and we are enemies, so we are destined to win or lose, life or death. I brought wine to say goodbye to the past."

Zhou Weiguo picked up the wine jar and said, "This is the authentic Suzhou Bridge wine. It is one of Suzhou's specialties. It won the gold medal at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Try it." Zhou Weiguo said as he poured two cups.

A glass of wine, and then handed one to Takeshita Jun.

Takeshita Jun took it with both hands, smelled it first, and then said, "The wine is rich in aroma, but mild, with some light fragrance,"

Then Takeshita Jun took a small sip and did not swallow it immediately. Instead, he kept it in his mouth for a while before swallowing it and said, "The wine is fragrant and not too astringent. It is a bottle of good vintage."

liquor."

Zhou Weiguo also took a sip, and then nodded, "Yes, so you are in for a treat." Between country and personal relationships, he, Zhou Weiguo, or Zhou Wen, would never choose the latter.
