At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Hao came back and reported to Li Yunsheng: "District Chief, I have contacted the British and the matter has been agreed upon. There are a total of one hundred rifles, each rifle is equipped with one hundred rounds of ammunition. Tomorrow night
trade."
"Did anything go wrong?"
"There is nothing wrong. After all, the British want to make money, and they are also very disgusted with the Japanese. It's just that because the Japanese are powerful, they have to compromise, so there won't be any problems until there is a deal."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "When you trade tomorrow night, you must be careful. Not only must the Japanese keep a close eye on you, but you must also be on guard against the British."
Zhang Hao said carefully: "Don't worry, district chief, the British and I will do the best. All the weapons will be loaded into a truck. After we inspect the goods, we will take the truck and the weapons away together. And on the way back, we will
We are also prepared so that we will not be targeted by the Japanese."
"These weapons are used to attack Haiguang Temple, so just leave them with you and don't transport them outside the city."
"I will arrange it."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then asked in a different direction: "How is the situation in Shanxi? Have the troops left?"
Zhang Hao said calmly: "The two men and horses have already set off. There are more than two hundred people in total. However, due to the large number of people, it will take about three or four days to arrive in Tianjin. Our people have also been away for a day and should be almost there, but now
No telegram has been sent back yet."
"Can you find a safe place outside the city?"
"It has been found. There are two abandoned villages about ten miles outside the city. One of them is deserted, and the other has only two families. These two villages are very remote. When the time comes, I will place the two people in them.
There, if we send a few people to control these two families, nothing will happen."
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and felt that there were no flaws, so he didn't say more.
The next night, after Zhang Hao finished trading the weapons, he came to Li Yunsheng again to report: "District Chief, the weapons have been obtained and the items are placed in our safe house."
"Is everything going well? Have you met any Japanese?"
"The transaction with the British went smoothly, but during the transaction, we found someone watching from a distance. After the transaction was completed, they started to follow us. They must be the Japanese, but we were prepared, so we got away
Got them."
Hearing this result, Li Yunsheng said with a sneer: "The Japanese have really long manpower, and they are so rampant in the concession. It seems that we will have to take care of them after we have our hands free."
Zhang Hao agreed and said: "We should take care of them," and then asked doubtfully: "District Chief, you said that Britain is also a powerful country in Europe. Why is it so soft now? Seeing the Japanese messing around in their territory, it is also
Dare not speak."
Li Yunsheng said disdainfully: "The strength of Britain is already a thing of the past, and Britain is just like that now. What's more, Europe is not stable now. There are Germans there who are causing trouble for them. So when facing the Japanese, we can only keep tolerating.
, and the temperament of these Europeans are all bully and afraid of the strong. Facing the strength of the Japanese, they softened."
Zhang Hao said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that this Englishman is also the product of foreign strongmen."
While the two people were talking, there was a knock on the door, and then Xu Bing came in and reported: "District Chief, I just received a telegram from Shanxi. It was sent by one of my own people." After that, he handed over the telegram.
After Li Yunsheng took it, he looked at it casually, then handed it to Zhang Hao beside him, and said with a sigh: "These two men are indeed not good people. After being included, they kept doing random things."
Zhang Hao also read the telegram, and then said helplessly: "District Chief, this is the current situation. Most of the troops are not so disciplined. The situation in the rear is a little better, at least they are not too reckless. But here in North China and
The Japanese army borders the border, and a war may break out at any time, so many people will indulge themselves. In addition, many troops in North China are miscellaneous troops, so military discipline is only about that, let alone the troops adapted from these bandits."
Li Yunsheng said helplessly: "According to the investigation, among these two people, Hu Sanjiao has more public resentment. I think I will choose him."
In the intelligence sent back, Hu Sanzhen had many bad deeds. Not only did his subordinates bully the people, but he himself went rampant in the countryside, and also committed acts of robbing men and dominating women. His behavior was much more hateful than that of another person.
.
Looking at Hu Sanxi's situation, Zhang Hao also agreed and said: "Yes, it is not a pity for such a person to die."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then said softly: "As for the other person, although there are many illegal behaviors, they have not done any serious evil. It is better not to let them die. Then we will find an excuse to let them go back."
Zhang Hao said calmly: "District Chief, after the attack on Haiguang Temple, we may not necessarily face any situation, so I suggest that these people stay in Tianjin first. If anything happens, we will have more manpower."
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and thought that this was okay, but he said cautiously: "These people were uncontrolled bandits before, so they are very likely to cause trouble. Once they stay in Tianjin for a long time, if no one is in charge, they are likely to cause trouble."
There will be trouble, so if you want to keep them, you must arrange for a few capable people to watch over them.
As for Hu Sanxiu and the others, as soon as they arrive in Tianjin, let them attack Haiguang Temple that night, but before going, we must entertain them well and don't make them suspicious."
Zhang Hao said with a sneer: "District Chief, Hu Sanxiu is just a bandit and has limited knowledge. It is still very easy to deal with people like them. Don't worry, I will never let them doubt."
At this time Xu Bing interjected: "Zhang Hao, it's best not to let too many people see you. After these people attack Haiguang Temple, many people will be captured alive by the Japanese, and many people will definitely rebel by then.
, if too many people see you, you will be in danger."
As soon as Xu Bing finished speaking, Li Yunsheng also frowned. Only then did he think of this problem, so he said: "Then send a few subordinates to arrange for these people, and then arrange for them to leave Tianjin. Zhang Hao will not come forward."
Zhang Hao immediately said: "District Chief, although Hu Sanxiu is a bandit, ordinary agents may not be able to suppress him, let alone trick him into committing suicide, so I'd better go in person."
Li Yunsheng was also a little embarrassed. After all, Zhang Hao was right, but if Hu Sanjiao was captured by the Japanese, his important assistant would be in danger.
After thinking for a while, Li Yunsheng said: "Let's find a better makeup artist to put makeup on you so that others can't recognize your true face."
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, the eyes of the other two people lit up and they nodded.
After that, the three people began to study how to attack Haiguang Temple. It took an hour to complete the arrangement.
While Li Yunsheng and the others were laying out their plan, Kawashima Kintake in the Japanese Military Police was also reporting the situation to Tanaka Weisuke: "General, if nothing else happens, I will start taking action in three days."
Tanaka Weisuke smiled and said: "Kawashima-kun, I believe in your ability, but this opportunity is rare, so we must kill all the underground gangs."
Kawashima Jinwu said seriously: "Don't worry, General, your plan is very good. In the current Dongping Warehouse, a small group of soldiers has secretly entered the garrison, and there are four other small groups of soldiers who have already gone to the Dongping Warehouse area.
factories, as long as the underground party takes the bait, they will be wiped out."
Tanaka Misuke nodded and said confidently: "Well done, but don't make any mistakes when attacking Haiguang Temple in three days. If any damage is caused, I won't be able to explain it to General Omiya."
Kawashima Jinwu said calmly: "Don't worry, General, nothing will go wrong. I contacted a group of bandits through internal lines and coaxed them to attack Haiguang Temple from the west. We will be ready in the west, and we will definitely do it when the time comes.
It won’t have much impact. In addition, this bandit armed force is composed of all broken Chinese troops. They usually cause trouble with us, so we just take this opportunity to eliminate them together."
Tanaka Weisuke was very satisfied. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door of the office. Then a major came in and said respectfully: "General, I just received a report. Three hours ago, some people
I bought a batch of weapons in the concession, and the number of weapons is quite large."
Tanaka Weisuke immediately asked: "Who bought it, what is the specific number, and have you found the whereabouts of these people."
The major said carefully: "These people are all new faces, and our people don't know them. The number of weapons is about a hundred rifles and some grenades. In addition, these people are very careful, so we did not keep an eye on them, but what is certain is that these people
The batch of weapons did not leave the concession."
Tanaka Weisuke was so furious: "Baga, you are such a loser. You didn't even notice anyone."
Tanaka Weisuke is very worried about someone buying weapons. After all, in the current situation, those who can buy weapons from foreigners must be Chinese, and the purpose of all Chinese buying weapons is to fight the Japanese, so for
The Japanese watched every batch of arms transactions carefully.
Kawashima Jinwu who was on the side heard the news, thought for a while, and then said: "General, do you think it is the weapons purchased by the underground party?"
Tanaka Weisuke shook his head and said with certainty: "It's definitely not an underground party. After all, these underground parties have always been very poor and don't have much money at all. How can they buy hundreds of rifles?"
Kawashima Jinwu said doubtfully: "Then who did it? He bought weapons so generously."
Tanaka Weisuke said worriedly: "I'm afraid these weapons are purchased by anti-Japanese elements, which will cause us a lot of trouble."
Although the number of one hundred rifles is not very large, it is on a frontal battlefield. If it is behind the Japanese, it can play a lot of roles. After all, no matter which anti-Japanese army has hundreds of guns, it can deal with a dozen or so people.
