The Japanese army divided the whole of North China into three types of areas according to the quality of public order.

The first type is the security area, which is generally a large city, and the law and order are often good, and the Japanese army is also under relatively strict control, and there is very little disturbance to the people.

The Eighth Route Army called this type of area the Occupied Zone.

The second type is the quasi-security area, which is relatively poor, although it is nominally under the control of the Japanese army, there are also maintenance associations and other institutions, but there are also guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

This type of area is the focus of contention between the two sides.

The Eighth Route Army Front called this type of area a guerrilla zone.

The third category is the non-security area, which the Eighth Route Army called the consolidation area, that is, the anti-Japanese base areas.

According to the different security situation, the response strategy adopted by the Japanese army is also very different, for the Chinese in the security area, the Japanese army is relatively respectful, and the target security area is mainly encroached on the policy, with Huairou plus intimidation, and at the same time a large number of blockade ditches and pillboxes and artillery towers are built to squeeze out the influence of the Eighth Route Army as much as possible.

For the Eighth Route Army and the masses in non-security areas, it was a cruel three-light policy.

Such zoning, combined with a differentiated strategy, is extremely powerful.

Since the beginning of 1942, the Eighth Route Army's base areas behind enemy lines have been subjected to severe pressure to survive, and the situation in the Jizhong base areas is the most severe, and even the main force is about to lose its footing.

However, the situation in the Taiyue Military Region is not bad.

……

Straight to the point.

Wang Yan and Wei Dayong wandered all the way and soon came to the south gate of the inner city.

Taiyuan City is divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the 9th Brigade is stationed in the outer city, but important institutions such as the headquarters of the First Army, the gendarmerie, and the bank are all in the inner city.

When entering the outer city, the Japanese puppet army guarding the city gate did not interrogate at all, but just let Wang Yan and Wei Dayong go directly because they were wearing kimonos.

But in the inner city, he was interrogated.

The two of them handed over their expatriate cards.

In fact, Japanese people do not have ID cards, but in order to facilitate management and care, Japanese expatriates who come to China will be registered by the local expatriate management office.

Wang Yan and Wei Dayong's expatriate certificates were handled by Otaka Kameshou on their behalf.

Seeing the expatriate cards of the two people, the Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate directly let them go.

Entering the inner city, directly opposite the south gate is the main street, where almost all the major institutions are concentrated.

At a glance, Wang Yan saw the sign of the "China United Reserve Bank", which was less than 100 meters away from the city gate, and was a seven-story concrete building, but it was estimated that only the lower floor was rented.

Banks usually open late, and this point has not yet opened.

Wang Yan and the two went to a teahouse near the city gate and sat down, and casually asked for a pot of high-foam tea.

I waited in the teahouse for about half an hour, and the time came to nine o'clock in the morning, and then I heard the sound of a car engine.

When I looked back, I saw that a van patrol car had already driven into the city gate, and there were four Japanese military police officers with loaded guns hanging outside the left and right doors of this van patrol car.

Seeing this, Wang Yan's eyes narrowed.

Cash trucks! This is Wang Yan's goal!

He wouldn't be stupid and cover his head and face, rush into the foyer with a sack, and ask the salesman to fill the sack with money, so how many dollars can he grab? If you want to grab it, then just grab the cash truck!

Because he was worried that the cash in the business hall was not enough, Wang Yan even made up a whole set of nonsense about Zeng Hou Yi's chime, the purpose of which was to ask the Taiyuan branch of China United Reserve Bank to prepare an additional 20 million lackey tickets in the name of Otaka Guishou.

In this way, combined with the cash paid out by the bank on a daily basis, the amount will be very considerable, and it will be worth the trip.

Sure enough, after the van patrol car drove outside the gate of the China United Reserve Bank, four Japanese military policemen with loaded guns immediately jumped out of the car and guarded both sides of the gate with rifles, preventing the idlers from approaching.

Then, the bank staff opened the car door and removed boxes of cash.

Wei Dayong immediately came over and whispered, "Captain, money, a lot of money!" ”

Wang Yan didn't pay attention to it, just silently counted the number of cash boxes brought by the staff.

In the end, the bank's staff removed 10 cash boxes from the van patrol car, which is 5 million according to the calculation of 500,000 per box!

Wang Yan couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky.

Wang Yan raised his head again and squinted at the telephone line set up on the side of the street.

Although the telephone line is thin, the distance is less than 50 meters, so there is no problem with interruption.

After thinking about it in his heart, Wang Yan asked Wei Dayong again: "Monk, how far is it from the south gate of the inner city to the south gate of the outer city, can you estimate it?" ”

Wei Dayong nodded and said, "About 1,000 meters." ”

"About 1000 meters." Wang Yan nodded and said, "It's no problem for this kind of van patrol car to run to 60 yards, so at full speed, it will only take a minute." ”

Wei Dayong said in a low voice: "That's right, we will already be out of Taiyuan City in a minute." ”

Wang Yan chuckled and said, "As long as you get out of Taiyuan City, the next thing will be simple." ”

Wei Dayong couldn't help but remind Wang Yandao: "Captain, camera, don't forget the camera." ”

"I can't forget it." Wang Yan said angrily, "I'll buy it later, and I'll buy you the best!" ”

Wei Dayong immediately grinned and laughed, and he didn't know what he thought, so he actually laughed out loud.

……

Just as Wang Yan and Wei Dayong stepped on the spot, the car in which Otaka Guishou was riding had quietly stopped under the steps at the entrance of the China United Preparation Bank.

Xiangli, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward.

Ogaka Kameiju asked, "Isn't Manager Niu here?" ”

Xiangli hurriedly replied: "Manager Niu can't rush in time for something, so he specially ordered me to wait here." ”

"Okay." As he walked inside, Odaka Kametoshi said, "That's right, I may have to use a sum of money in a few days, the amount is a bit large, I hope you can prepare it in advance." ”

"Of course, Your Excellency Ogaka will definitely do what you ask, but what day is it?"

"I'm not sure about this, anyway, from tomorrow, you'll always have it ready, maybe you'll need it someday."

Xiangli was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then he agreed again, and asked, "So how much do you want?" ”

"Prepare 20 million for the time being." Ogaka Kameshou sighed lightly and said, "Prepare some more gold bars for me." ”

"Nani? Million? "Your Excellency, the balance of your joint bank account ......?"

"You know, I'm borrowing." At this time, the two had already walked to the VIP room, and Otaka Kameishou put the briefcase in his hand on the large table, and took out a stack of documents from inside, "This is a 10 million yen cashier's check from the Imperial Industrial Bank, and you can go to any branch of the Industrial Bank in Asia at any time with the check to pay it." ”

"Hello." Xiang Li took the check and said respectfully, "It's an honor to serve you." ”
