Chapter VII: Victory and Defeat 1
In order to avoid the revenge of the devils, the old wolf battalion adopted the strategy of cat winter. This time it calmed down, so calm that Zhang Tao almost forgot how to shoot.
The old wolf camp is silent.
Zhang Tao's Xiangmanlou business is surprisingly good.
Huaihua came to Zhang Tao from time to time to live here for a few days, although neither of them said anything, but Huaihua seemed to have become the hostess of this big courtyard, and later came to the point of checking Zhang Tao's business and account books. Zhang Tao jokingly said that Huaihua knows his family background better than himself.
Qingchuan also fell silent, and even came to Zhang Tao to drink some wine when he was free.
Wang Gang continued to serve as his deputy police chief.
Huang Gongzi is also a frequent visitor to Zhang Tao's house, and occasionally lives in Zhang Tao's house when there is nothing to do.
Except for the occasional news of the tight situation in North China through the avenues, it seems that the world is far away from war.
It's summer in the blink of an eye. Knowing that he kept screaming in the tree, Zhang Tao ate watermelon in the yard to see if there were no outsiders, and whispered to the fourth uncle: "I said what's going on?" Why is there nothing going on? I can't go on like this, I've got to find something. Fourth Uncle to see if there is any damn one recently, I'll send him on the road. I haven't moved my muscles and bones in months. ”
"I think it's going to be an accident, didn't I hear what Director Wang said, the military trains that the devils have opened in the past few days have been connected, I don't think it's a good job." The fourth uncle was a little worried.
At this time, Wang Gang came. Zhang Tao said with a smile, "I said that you are quite a big director, which is too much to chatter, as soon as I talked about you, you came over." ”
Wang Gang held the watermelon in his hand but didn't eat it, looked left and right to see if there were no outsiders, lowered his voice and said to Zhang Tao: "Yesterday, the devils attacked Beiping, the North China Incident broke out, and the 29th Army resisted desperately!" The all-out war of resistance has begun! ”
"Really?" Zhang Tao stood up suddenly, "Now there is hope, I want to see how the little Japanese fart is bigger and the whole of China is done!" How's it going now, you know? ”
Wang Gang shook his head: "I don't know, it is estimated that there will be movement in the next few days, and the national united front of the Anti-Japanese War will be formed!" ”
Zhang Tao stood up excitedly: "You say, what can I do, or kill two devils and traitors and cheer over there?" ”
"That's a small thing, Hamashima is an important place connecting Northeast China and North China, and if the Japanese connect Japan and North China, the railways and seaports in this place will have to be busy. We are actively inquiring about the news to see if we can kill him first and support the war of resistance in North China! Wang Gang's eyes were resolute.
"Good!" Zhang Tao also followed suit, "There is such a good thing, don't forget to call me!" I'm going to suffocate. ”
"Okay, now is the time to die, the streets and alleys are under martial law, you can be careful!" As soon as Wang finished speaking, he left, leaving Zhang Tao pacing in the courtyard, and he looked at the fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, China has so many troops, do you say you can fight back?" ”
The fourth uncle was not as optimistic as Zhang Tao, and shook his head: "If I could call over, I would have called it a long time ago, and I would have to wait for 6 years?" It's not my crow's mouth, I see, it's good to lose a little less land. ”
Zhang Tao thought about it, and the light in his eyes dimmed: "Yes, retreat, retreat, retreat from the Northeast to North China, and what kind of autonomy will come out, alas, maybe you can fight well." Then he turned around and said, "Fourth uncle, hurry up and contact the old wolf camp, get ready for war, and see what Wang Gang has to say, even if they don't move, I have to do it myself!" ”
The fourth uncle nodded: "Okay!" He asked again: "Young master, this 'big scar' went to the old wolf camp, and after the 'mountain rabbit' left, there was no head cannon, who should be the right head cannon when you look at it?" ”
Zhang Tao frowned: "This is a matter, it is not a matter for you to drive all the time you go out these times." Now there are not many people left in the house, let alone smart people who can drive. By the way, Fourth Uncle, why did you remember this? ”
The fourth uncle said: "It's not that I remember, it's the 'human sperm' who found me, and I want to ask if there is a shortage of drivers and head guns, saying that I can introduce an acquaintance." ”
"Who?" Zhang Tao asked with some surprise.
"Do you remember Xinjing's little Wang?" The fourth uncle asked.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Tao laughed, "When is this 'human sperm', and it is still twisting and pinching, so it won't tell me directly?" ”
"Isn't this someone over there, I'm afraid you have an idea, let me come over to find out the wind first." The fourth uncle smiled.
"Ideas, what can you think? It's the best thing to do! If it weren't for the bald head above who had too many ideas, he wouldn't have lost the three eastern provinces so much. Zhang Tao said, "Now is the time when there is a shortage of people, it's okay to let him come over, have people arrived on Bindao?" ”
"Said to have arrived, I stayed at the Four Seas Hotel, and sometimes I went to Xiangmanlou to help." The fourth uncle said respectfully.
"However, these thorns in our family are not easy to fiddle with, so it is not okay to come up like this, tell him to prepare and prepare, and open an incense hall in the house tomorrow. Tell him, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask! Zhang Tao tapped his fingers on the arm of the chair and said.
"I think it's going to be like this, then I'll tell him, and see if there's any eye in the mountain." The fourth uncle nodded.
Three days later, Zhang Tao opened a fragrant hall in his home.
In fact, the incense hall in the northeast is far less elaborate than the one in the south, and most of the incense halls are in the old forest, and the so-called incense hall is just an important person's entry ceremony.
Zhang Tao set up the incense hall in the hall, simply put an incense case, removed the sofa in the hall, simply placed a few chairs, and the seven nursing homes sat on the chairs decently, and Zhang Tao, the fourth uncle, and Zhang Gui sat in the top position. Although Xiao Wang arrived at the Senate with the "human sperm", he was still led by the nurse who led the way with a blindfold and brought in, which is called Mengmen.
After symbolically blindfolding and entering the gate, Zhang Tao stood up: "Everyone knows that although there are not many people in our courtyard, there must be rules. Ever since the 'Mountain Rabbit' is gone, we haven't had a headshot. The world is becoming more and more chaotic now, and I believe you also know why the Japanese shops on Hamashima, the railway station on the Manchurian railway, and the police station and gendarmerie have been setting off firecrackers in the past few days. We can't relax, it's time to choose a headshot. This Wang brother is recommended by the shopkeeper of 'human sperm', to see if he can put on the hat of the head cannon and pick it up to worship an incense hall. Don't hide it, and don't make it difficult for others! After finishing speaking, Zhang Tao sat down and took a sip of tea.
At this time, I saw a nursing home standing up, this person looked very distinctive, and his height was more than one and a half meters, and he was still cross-eyed: "Brother Wang, it's not empty, right?" Have you seen white or red, and some people want to go out (are you a layman, have you ever killed someone or robbed something, and now you have a case on your body)? ”
Although this little king couldn't see anything, he still turned his head and clasped his fists with both hands: "Hold the tiger's head, Wanlima." There are both red and white, yellow and green are missing, there are not many heads, and the number of stone months (my surname is Wang, I have done everything you said, that is, I have never harmed serious businessmen, and now I am wanted outside I am 20,000 in the ocean). ”
The little man sat down. The "night owl" stood up: "You...... You blow it, you ...... Which slice are you, mixed mountains...... Mountain...... Mountains or water, where are they entangled...... Which...... Where did you come from (where did you come from, what did you do, did you have a human life on you)? ”
"Huh!" Xiao Wang smiled, "Mountains and mountains, water to water, family secrets, and a lot of debts (I do everything, I am from the north, and there are a lot of lives on my body). ”
For this person, Zhang Gui didn't know anything about it, so after thinking about it, he stood up and asked: "There are many rules in our family, and the brothers are quite capable, have you ever managed people before?" ”
"Managed!" Xiao Wang thought to himself, if he didn't get to the bottom of it, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress these people, "I was a company commander, one hundred and eighty people." ”
"You're the Northeast Army?" The one said with a little contempt.
"Hehe, I'm not the Northeast Army, but I'm indeed a company commander." Xiao Wang said with a smile.
"It's not the Northeast Army, it's still the company commander, your commander's surname is Yang, and you're from the Mengjiang River?" Zhang Gui's eyes widened.
"Yes, we are usually in the Mengjiang area, and I was ordered to work here." Xiao Wang said calmly.
At that time, everyone knew what was going on, and the "night owl" stood up and glared at the boss: "Your chief is Yang ...... Yang ......"
Zhang Tao interrupted the word "Jingyu" that was about to come out: "Okay, don't say it, be enlightened." What else do you have to say? ”
If you want to say that on the road in the northeast, the two people I admire the most now are Yang Jingyu and Ma Zhanshan, who are both company commanders in Yang Jingyu, so what else do you say? Seeing that no one objected, the fourth uncle stood up and was about to open the blindfold for Xiao Wang.
To say that this enlightened son is also exquisite, in the old forest, if someone comes to the mountain, the need to open the incense hall, are to touch the door to block the eyes into the mountain. If we can talk about it together, we will open people's eyes, and after worshipping God, we will be a family. If you feel that you are not a person all the way, you will be blindfolded and sent back, which is also a saying, called "stuffy mountain". There are even some people who are suspected of having bad motives or are suspected of going back to join the government or take refuge with hated locks after going down the mountain, and they simply kill people while the blindfold is not taken off, which is called "falling down the mountain".
After symbolically worshipping the gods a few times, Xiao Wang bowed his hand to several brothers: "My surname is Wang, just call me Wang Xiaosan." What I said just now is almost over, I can't say it anymore, brothers, bear with me, and in the future, I will scoop porridge in a horse spoon, and everyone will take care of it. ”
"Well said, well said!" The cross-eyed was the first to stand up, "My name is 'Eye Skewer', and it's right to find me when there are trolls in the future." Don't dare to say anything else, in the old forest to fight sable, within 100 steps, I am a shot, all on the eye strings, the whole skin. The year before last, I sprayed a devil who wanted to harm my little daughter-in-law, so I asked the fourth uncle to vote for the owner, and I haven't had it for more than two years, and I can have 1, 2, 3 under my gun......" I really counted with my fingers
"Pull ...... Pull...... Pull it down, you, you just bragged about the head cannon. Seeing the "pair of eyes" sitting down stupidly, the "night owl" arched his hand to Wang Xiaosan: "I...... My name is 'Night Owl' and I'm a dry ...... Do Lao Rong's work...... Alive. ”
Xiao Wang's heart was secretly surprised, he definitely didn't expect Zhang Tao to be able to envelop so many powerful masters. I was still pondering here, and stood up again: "I don't have the two of them, my name is Liu Dazhuang, it turned out to be the handsome's Fengtian Ordnance Institute, I can repair guns, change guns, but I can't shoot." ”
"My name is Li Erbao, I have the life of a traitor, I don't have any ability, I just don't want to die, when I will pull it down, I just want to find my wife and children."
"My name is Wang Shanlin, I was originally a beard, I know everything......"
"My name is Liu Bing, I am an artillery fighter, and I can also shoot guns......"
"My name is Yue Wangbao, it turned out to be from the Northeast Army, and I broke up ......"
Wang Xiaosan and them greeted them one by one, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, saying that he couldn't let these people compare. He was desperate for an action, an action to prove himself. The pressure on this No. 3 investigator of the special operations group of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee came from his enemies and from these brothers who would be with him day and night in the future.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Tao laughed, "In the future, you will be the 'Eight King Kongs'!" Saying that, his eyes darkened, "I won't talk about the original 'Thirteen Taibao', 'Big Scar', 'Mountain Rabbit' is gone, and the 'Earth Mouse' is also gone, two years ago when I was an inspector of Little Japan in Wenxian County, the 'Big Knife King' and 'Little Villain' changed the life of the devil commissioner, and the body has not been found." Everyone is a blood feud with Little Japan, so I won't talk about it if there's more. Now that the national war of resistance has begun, this island can't stop like this, and I have to be mentally focused. ”
As soon as they heard this, people's eyes lit up. Not to mention Wang Xiaosan, even the "human sperm" only learned today that these usually inconspicuous nursing homes under Zhang Tao have such great ability and background. Now that Zhang Tao has made everything clear, it seems that this guy who is not willing to be lonely wants to take advantage of the beginning of the National War of Resistance to make a big deal. Thinking of this, the eyes of the "human sperm" rolled: "Today is the day when the 'Eight King Kongs' are together, why do you have to make a fuss, what's the matter, is it to go to my Xiangmanlou or at home?" ”
"Be careful." The fourth uncle stood up, "That's it, let's drink some at home, but you kid has to get some blood for 'human sperm', bring more of your fragrant good things, and you will come over in a while." ”
"Okay, that's it." "Human sperm" turned and walked out.
Wang Xiaosan was surrounded by his brothers to clean up the residence, and Zhang Tao, the fourth uncle, and Zhang Gui came to the study.
As soon as Zhang Gui closed the door, he turned around and said, "Dongjia, is this Wang Xiaosan red?" ”
"Yes and what, no?" Zhang Tao sat lazily on the big sofa.
"Are you getting a little close to them, don't swallow all of us when the time comes." Zhang Gui said a little worriedly.
"Alas!" Zhang Tao sighed, "The Northeast is gone, I see the joy of the Japanese on the street, and this Beiping is enough to hold on." The country is gone, I still care about this point that the human gun has a fart? You go and arrange food to go, and it will be lively and lively at night. ”
Zhang Gui had nothing to say, shook his head and walked out.
"Young Master, are you going to join the Anti-Resistance Alliance?" Seeing Zhang Gui walk out, the fourth uncle asked softly, "Wang Gang is 'No. 6', then this Wang Xiaosan should be 'No. 3'." Plus a 'human sperm', young master, you are now surrounded by the Communist Party. ”
"What's going on?" Zhang Tao smiled, "At least people didn't run out, I will vote for whoever fights devils, didn't you listen to what 'human sperm' said, what is it called the United United Front now." The Communist Party and the Kuomintang are no longer fighting, what are you doing with this? ”
The wine that day was very happy, Zhang Tao was drunk, and others were not much better.
In the days that followed, Zhang Tao's heart became heavier and heavier. Whether it is Wang Gang or Huang Gongzi, it brings bad news.
"Wanping is lost!"
"Peking is lost!"
"General Zhao Dengyu was martyred!"
"General Tong Linge died in battle!"
"The Japanese army has invaded Tianjin!"
“……”
"There's nothing good about it, lost, lost, lost. Originally, I thought that with this blow, the Chinese army would get closer and closer to us, which is good, farther and farther away! The Northeast didn't fight, it was lost, so many people died, and even the generals died several in battle, why did they still lose it? Zhang Tao walked around the room irritably.
"Young master......" said the fourth uncle, "it's useless for you to be in a hurry like this." ”
"What's going on?" Zhang Tao rolled his eyes, "Otherwise, I will take a gun and collapse Qingchuan, what kind of fundraising, isn't this using Chinese money to beat Chinese?" When I donate money, it's as if someone has stabbed me twice. ”
The fourth uncle remembered the annoying "Great East Asia Holy War" donation conference in the afternoon, and he was really depressed, and he couldn't think of anything to extinguish the fire for Zhang Tao.
This morning, the city ** notified some wealthy businessmen to hold a meeting, and did not say what it was. Originally, there were some things that Zhang Tao could let the fourth uncle or Zhang Gui go, but these days Zhang Tao was really uncomfortable at home, so he wanted to go out for a walk, so he went out for a meeting by himself, but when he arrived at the venue and saw Qingchuan presiding over the meeting, Zhang Tao felt that there must be nothing good.
Sure enough, after saying some nonsense about "Japan-Manchurian goodwill" and "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere", Qingchuan announced with a smile that everyone could donate "voluntarily and freely", and was the first to name Zhang Tao and ask him to tell him the amount of donations. In desperation, Zhang Tao's 20,000 Manchurian dollars disappeared. It has been more than a month since the "Eight King Kongs" meeting, and he has not done anything, Zhang Tao felt very annoyed, and even twice, Zhang Tao arranged for someone to monitor Qingchuan's daily life, intending to kill him, but after seeing the strict defense around him, he gave up this plan. Zhang Tao also planned to clean up Huang Gongzi, but the fourth uncle reminded him that if Huang Gongzi left, it would be too cost-effective to send a police chief he didn't know but who was relatively capable. So the plan was pulled down.
Seeing Zhang Tao's pained expression, the fourth uncle asked without words: "Young master, did you go to the meeting and inquire about the new news in Dianguan?" ”
"There is a ...... news," Zhang Tao stretched his waist, "Now I can't inquire about the affairs in the guanli, when to inquire and when to be aggrieved." Director Huang told me that the Japanese had attacked Shanghai, and what else...... The offensive went well. ”
Zhang Tao picked up the water cup and took a sip of water: "I don't understand, what is the great success of the Japanese war, why is this little cub surnamed Huang so happy, is he raised by his Chinese father?" I managed to control my own hands today and didn't go up to give them a big mouth. ”
"You can't afford to be angry with this kind of person, these traitors feel that they are more Japanese than the Japanese, the master has won the battle, doesn't the dog have to wag its tail?" The fourth uncle said contemptuously.
"Well, that's right, it's useless for us to be angry, this piece of waste, sooner or later, one day we will have to treat the family business that I bought with no conscience as a knife to put on my neck." Zhang Tao nodded in agreement.
