Akamine, command post of the Okamoto brigade.

Kumazaburo Okamoto closed his eyes slightly, half-lying on the sofa, his hands crossed on his abdomen, and the fingers of his left hand gently drew circles on the back of his right hand.

This is the initial manifestation of emotions such as anxiety and nervousness.

Two hours earlier, he had sent a squadron to Ningcheng, but the task was not to fight, but to wait.

As for what to wait for, Kumazaburo Okamoto did not say.

The squadron leader of that squadron, Qi Yuan Sangfeng, left with this unclear order, and he didn't even have a specific destination, only the approximate location of "twenty miles outside Ningcheng".

Suddenly, Kusaburo Okamoto opened his eyes, got up and walked to the door, and said in a deep voice:

"Go get Lieutenant Aoi!"

Immediately outside the door, there was a sound of "Ha Yi", followed by the sound of footsteps walking away quickly.

Lingyuan County, Big Bear Village.

A petite figure quickly crossed the village road in the night, jumped over the wall and jumped into the courtyard of a farmhouse.

There was no light in the blue-brick house in the middle of the courtyard, but the door was hidden.

The figure dodged into the room and quickly closed the door.

"Bang"

There was a soft sound, and a faint fire lit up in the room, and someone lit the oil lamp on the kang table.

The light reflected a slightly pale face, a man, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a cleanly shaved beard, and his clothes were clean though they were patched with a dozen patches.

Someone suddenly broke in, and the man was not surprised at all, and gently put the shell gun in his hand on the table, and said lightly:

"Miss Tian, please take a seat."

The figure who had just come in walked to the side of the kang and raised his hand to tear off the black cloth covering his face, revealing Tian Ruyu's somewhat haggard face.

The man sitting on the kang was none other than Zhao Tong, who single-handedly formed the anti-Japanese iron and blood group.

Tian Ruyu picked up the teapot on the kang table and drank a few sips, threw the teapot on the table, and said coldly:

"Commander Zhao, what do you mean? Why don't you send someone to help? ”

Zhao Tong smiled faintly, with a light expression:

"Miss Tian, according to our original agreement, I will only send fifty people to cooperate with your actions, and as for success or failure, it has nothing to do with me.

And you still need to give me everything you promised me as agreed. ”

Tian Ruyu just sat sideways on the edge of the kang, and when she heard this, she was immediately furious:

"Commander Zhao! You should know who you're talking to right now! ”

The expression on Zhao Tong's face did not change in the slightest, and he still said tepidly:

"Miss Tian, I also hope you can clearly know who you are talking to now; This is Lingyuan, not Jinling! ”

Tian Ruyu froze for a moment, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance, but he could only forcibly suppress it.

"Commander Zhao, we are indeed in trouble at present, we promised your conditions, we will definitely honor on time, but now you must continue to cooperate with our actions, otherwise, your fifty people will die in vain!"

Zhao Tong was not moved by Tian Ruyu's words, and still said very calmly:

"Miss Tian, before you have not fulfilled more than half of your promises, please forgive Zhao for being difficult to obey."

"You're ......!"

Tian Ruyu was choked by Zhao Tong's words and couldn't speak for a long time, so she simply lowered her head and didn't look at Zhao Dong.

Indeed, at that time, the condition for their cooperation was that Zhao Tong sent fifty people to Ningcheng to cooperate with the actions of the Blue Coat Society.

After the matter was completed, the Blue Coat Society gave Zhao Tong 200 rifles and 20,000 rounds of ammunition.

There was an additional condition that the fifty men sent by Zhao Tong must act under the banner of an independent battalion.

As for why those people call themselves independent regiments, the reason is still on Tian Ruyu.

At that time, she told Zhao Tong that she wanted to call herself an independent regiment, and the head of the regiment was called Liu Cheng.

But why the independent battalion was turned into an independent regiment, the reason for which is probably only known to Tian Ruyu himself.

The reason she gave at the time was that it would be easier to attract Zhang Haipeng's attention.

But in fact, it was easier to attract Liu Cheng's attention by doing so.

The news that Liu Cheng entered Rehe with an independent battalion was known to the Blue Coat Society at the first time.

If it weren't for the failure of Zuo Ming's operation last time and the huge losses suffered by Nomura Toshio, they would definitely have asked the Japanese to cooperate this time.

Seeing that Tian Ruyu didn't speak, a trace of cunning gradually appeared on Zhao Tong's face, and he looked at Tian Ruyu with slanted eyes and said:

"What? Miss Tian was speechless? Then it's better to let Zhao analyze the reasons.

First of all, when we talked about cooperation for the first time, when the name 'Liu Cheng' was mentioned, Miss Tian's expression immediately appeared strange, which means that you and this Liu Cheng must have known each other before.

Secondly, you have been talking to me in a questioning tone since you entered the door, and you must have subconsciously covered up something.

The most important thing is that when I mentioned Liu Cheng just now, your gaze subconsciously tilted to the lower right, which means that you are making up, not reminiscing!

Miss Tian, do you need me to go on? ”

"Huh"

At the moment when Zhao Dong's last sentence came out, Tian Ruyu suddenly took out a pistol and aimed it at Zhao Dong's head, his eyes gloomy.

But Zhao Tong was not afraid, and the smile on his face became even brighter:

"Miss Tian is annoyed and angry? But don't forget, you're on my turf now! ”

As he uttered his last word, the door that was closed by Tian Ruyu was suddenly slammed open, and seven or eight men rushed in, and the guns in their hands were aimed at Tian Ruyu almost at the same time.

Tian Ruyu looked at Zhao Tong with a gloomy face, gritted her teeth and asked:

"Commander Zhao, what are you trying to do?!"

Zhao Tong smiled faintly:

"Miss Tian, don't get me wrong, Zhao is a Sven person, and he is also an honest person, as long as Miss Tian does not betray the agreement between us, Zhao will never do anything disrespectful to Miss Tian.

However, if Miss Wakata wants to break the contract, then Zhao may not be able to keep his promise......

Tian Ruyu's eyes widened, the anger in his eyes almost erupted from his eyes, stared at Zhao Tong deadly, and said word by word:

"I hope you'll think it through! Commander Zhao, although you now have more than 10,000 troops under your command, if you want to confront the Blue Coat Society, this strength is still far from enough! ”

But Zhao Tong was not afraid of her threat at all, and his expression was still calm:

"Miss Tian, I don't need you to remind me of the powerful relationship here, but I should remind Miss Tian, please don't forget what your task is!"

Tian Ruyu's heart moved, her eyes flashed again and again, and she seemed to be a little hesitant.

After a while, she spoke again:

"Okay, Commander Zhao, I will now double the conditions originally promised, and you will immediately send someone to Ningcheng now!"
