After leaving the gendarmerie, Wang Daniu immediately left the city and reported the situation to Zhang Hao, with a bit of excitement.
"Well done, you got into Yoshikawa Jiro's side, and our next plan can be carried out."
"Team leader, what is our next plan?"
After working for such a long time, Wang Daniu only knew that he wanted to sneak into Jiro Yoshikawa's side. He didn't know the details, so he asked nervously.
Now that things have come to an end, it's time to let Wang Daniu know a little bit about the situation, so Zhang Hao said without hesitation: "The next plan is to send someone to sneak into the Japanese transport team."
"Team leader, I don't understand something."
Sneaking into the transportation team had no direct relationship with contact with Yoshikawa Jiro, so Wang Daniu was a little confused.
"We want to sneak into an important Japanese stronghold, but the stronghold is very tightly guarded, and coupled with the geographical advantage, we have no chance to sneak in.
So we planned to blend into the team transporting supplies and sneak into this stronghold, which led to our previous actions."
Zhang Hao did not tell the whole situation, and he did not mention anything about the spy school. After all, the matter needed to be kept secret, so he only told things related to the mission.
Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Wang Daniu was a little stunned. After all, just to sneak into a stronghold, he wasted so much effort, which made him a little puzzled.
However, Wang Daniu also knew a little about Zhang Hao's abilities, so he didn't ask any more questions and just said calmly: "Then what do you need me to do?"
"You only need to pay attention to the Japanese garrison, when to recruit soldiers, and the distribution of supplies.
Especially the transportation team members who have been to Gu'an County, we should have more contact with them and learn more about the inside story."
The transportation team going to Liujiacun are all Japanese soldiers, so if you want to join the transportation team, you must first infiltrate the Japanese army.
As for how to sneak into the Japanese garrison, Li Yunsheng also had some ideas, but he had not yet started taking action.
After all, the garrison will not recruit troops easily, except under special circumstances.
"I obey my orders."
After hearing Zhang Hao's instructions, Wang Daniu nodded immediately, and his tone was firm, showing a very solemn look.
After that, the two people discussed for a while, and after everything was settled, Zhang Hao turned around and left.
Wang Daniu successfully got into Yoshikawa Jiro's sight, and often contacted the Japanese officer. Naturally, he learned a lot of information, but there was nothing important.
After all, Wang Daniu is only a Chinese. Even if Jiro Yoshikawa can use him, he will be more cautious, so there has been no progress in occupying time.
On the other hand, Li Yunsheng also took action, planning to infiltrate the Japanese army in Zhuozhou City.
If you want to join the Japanese army, you must have a legal Japanese identity, so Li Yunsheng made some preparations, killed a Japanese, pretended to be his identity, and came to Zhuozhou City.
The current Li Yunsheng, whose identity is a Japanese ronin, has just arrived in Zhuozhou from the Northeast and reported to the gendarmerie.
In this way, Li Yunsheng lived openly in Zhuozhou City, and like ordinary Japanese small businessmen, he set up a small stall in the city.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Li Yunsheng bullied some Chinese people from time to time and behaved like ordinary Japanese.
It's just that it's not easy to sneak into the Japanese army. After all, the situation in Zhuozhou City is stable, and the Japanese will not recruit troops here easily.
Faced with this situation, Li Yunsheng also frowned, and wanted to take some action to make the Japanese have insufficient troops, and then sign a sign for the overseas Chinese to enlist.
However, before Li Yunsheng could take action, the opportunity came. The North China Front Army Headquarters issued an order to mobilize a full squadron from Zhuozhou City to carry out missions in Shanxi.
Zhuozhou City is a transportation hub and stores a large amount of supplies. Under normal circumstances, troops will not be mobilized from here.
But this time the situation was different. The North China Front Army Headquarters wanted to take advantage of the coming winter to conduct a large-scale raid on the occupied areas of Shanxi, so they removed some troops from Zhuozhou.
Facing the order to go up the mountain, Yoshikawa Jiro did not dare to disobey, and immediately detached a full squadron and went to North China. As a result, the garrison in Zhuozhou City was tight.
There are nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers in the Zhuozhou area, but these people are stationed in each village and township separately, so the number of troops stationed in the city is less than 500.
But now that a squadron has been deployed, the guards are immediately outnumbered. After all, in such a large county, there are only about 200 defenders, which is too dangerous.
If that was just the case, Yoshikawa Jiro wouldn't worry, because the Zhuozhou area was relatively peaceful and nothing would happen easily, and two hundred people would be enough.
However, Zhuozhou City is a transportation hub and a material transfer station. It has to transport materials to various places from time to time. As a result, there is naturally a shortage of manpower.
"Miki-kun, there is currently a shortage of manpower in the city. I plan to recruit some foreigners to join the army. What do you think?"
Since there was a shortage of manpower, Jiro Yoshikawa immediately planned to recruit some troops. This situation was relatively common in the Japanese army.
Because every time there is a war, especially when they are on the defensive side, the Japanese will recruit expatriates to ensure the number of troops.
Influenced by the spirit of Bushido, most Japanese people are not averse to joining the army. In addition, every Japanese has received some military training, so as long as they pick up a weapon, they can become a similar soldier.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the situation in Zhuozhou City is very stable, there is no need for us to recruit expatriates!"
The situation in Zhuozhou is now stable, so Miki is a little confused and doesn't understand why Yoshikawa Jiro wants to recruit expatriates. After all, it is not a critical situation now.
"There are less than 200 defenders in the city, and some troops are sent out from time to time to transport supplies to various places. As a result, we are in some danger here."
The defense force of Zhuozhou City has never been so empty, so Yoshikawa Jiro was a little worried, so he decided to take precautions and recruit some expatriates to join the army.
Anyway, this kind of recruitment is temporary. When the troops are sufficient, they can be restored, and at most they will pay a little military salary. That's why Yoshikawa Jiro had this idea.
After listening to Yoshikawa Jiro's thoughts, Miki nodded and said very respectfully: "Your Excellency the Commander is right, we should make some preparations, so as not to be caught off guard by the Chinese."
Some time ago, our party seized the opportunity to attack a small county town in North China when its defense power was empty, and obtained a large amount of supplies.
Because the enemy was strong and we were weak, the county town was forced to give up and was soon reoccupied by the Japanese. However, this incident sounded a wake-up call to the Japanese.
"Let's do this. Starting tomorrow, we will temporarily recruit 300 overseas Chinese to join the army and arm them to participate in the security work in the city."
Yoshikawa Jiro made a decision immediately. After all, as the commander of the city defense and the captain of the military police, he had the right to do so.
"Hey, my subordinate obeys the order and will make arrangements now."
Miki immediately nodded, then turned and left the office to prepare for the recruitment of expatriates.
