Chapter Seventy-Two: The Bandit Leader

Tian Ruyu shook his head:

"I haven't heard of it."

The man was not surprised at all, and continued to himself:

"You don't need to know now, you just need to know that after joining the Blue Coat Society, you won't be bullied by anyone anymore."

Tian Ruyu looked at the man suspiciously:

"Why should I trust you?"

The man smiled, stretched out his hand, took out a pistol from his waist, and put it in front of Tian Ruyu.

Tian Ruyu's face changed, she pondered for a long time, and finally made up her mind and nodded at the man:

"Good!"

The man claimed to be Wan Nianqing, and bluntly told Tian Ruyu that this was his pseudonym, and as for her real name, she didn't need to know.

Early the next morning, Tian Ruyu was quietly taken away from the courtyard of Narcissus and left Changchun in a carriage.

If Liu Cheng was here, he would definitely kill this Wan Nianqing without hesitation.

The name of the Blue Coat Society was an absolute nightmare for the Red Party at that time.

After the Japanese occupied the Northeast, the Blue Coat Society's power here also quietly went underground.

However, they did not stay to resist the Japanese, but to undermine the Red Party organizations at all levels.

Since the main forces of the Blue Coat Society were all busy with encirclement and suppression in the south, the forces in the northeast seemed to be stretched.

And recently, Wan Nianqing received the above task, asking him to collect some important information about the Japanese at the same time, but he would not supplement him with intelligence personnel, so he could only find suitable candidates by himself.

Just now, it was the determination and firmness in Tian Ruyu's eyes that made him want to take it for his own use.

In his opinion, women have innate advantages in intelligence work, especially women like Tian Ruyu with hatred and perseverance in their eyes......

Redstone Mountain.

Early this morning, Tian Liuwa, who was in charge of guarding, ran into the cave in a hurry and said loudly to Liu Cheng:

"Captain, the commissar is here!"

Liu Cheng got up from the haystack and went out with Li Hongguang and the others.

He was a little apprehensive in his heart, Zhang Guanyi came here at this time, probably with his superiors' opinions on the handling of this matter.

After seeing Zhang Guanyi, Liu Cheng's heart that had been hanging fell a little.

Zhang Guanyi didn't come by himself, but brought a few people.

From their dress, Liu Cheng could see at a glance that the identities of these people ---- bandits.

As soon as they met, Zhang Guanyi pointed to the man in his thirties next to him and introduced to the four of them:

"This is Captain Zhang Ping of Smoke Pipe Mountain, and he is the first green forest hero in the local area to lead people to fight devils, comrades get to know each other."

Except for Liu Cheng, the other three are no strangers to this Zhang Ping, the biggest bandit leader in the Panshi area, although he has never seen it, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Zhang Ping's name is far louder than the guerrillas in the Panshi area.

Zhang Ping has always regarded himself as a "righteous bandit", and since the day he pulled the flag up the mountain, he declared to the public that he was the descendant of Zhang Qing, the sixteenth golden chair of Shuibo Liangshan --- without feather arrows.

However, he does not know how to throw stones, but he can shoot a good slingshot, and within thirty or fifty meters, there is no missing shot, which is more accurate than a gun.

After the Japanese came, Zhang Ping did not move until half a year ago, when he suddenly led people to rob the grain that the devils had just collected from the people, and killed two devils.

Because Zhang Ping's nest was located in the depths of Chimney Mountain, the terrain was relatively complicated, and the guerrillas were constantly harassing them, the devils did not free up their hands to clean them up.

In Liu Cheng's memory, the guerrillas did cooperate with several groups of bandits who were willing to resist the Japanese in the early days of their establishment, but they had never heard of Zhang Ping's name. (I won't talk about the specifics, you know...... )

After several people exchanged names, Zhang Ping deliberately glanced at Liu Cheng a few more times.

During this period of time, Liu Cheng's name has faintly surpassed him in the Panshi area, which makes Zhang Ping very curious about Liu Cheng.

If it weren't for the somewhat hideous scar on Liu Cheng's face, he really couldn't believe that the smiling young man in front of him was the one who had fought more than a dozen battles with devils and never tasted defeat.

After entering the cave, several people found a place to sit down, and Zhang Ping said straight to the point:

"I won't say much nonsense, this time I came to fight Shuanghe Town with you, which of you dares to go?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Hongguang's faces were not very good-looking.

They all know that there are not many devils stationed there, only a dozen people, but there is also the 35th Regiment of the puppet army there!

said that it was a regiment, but in fact there were only more than 300 people, and the regiment commander was called Fan Hua, who was originally an elite unit of the Northeast Army.

At the beginning of the Huanggutun incident, Fan Hua somehow hooked up with the Japanese, and at the first time of 918, he surrendered to the Japanese with the more than 300 people who followed him.

The Japanese also used Fan Hua very much, and the other puppet armies were basically all scattered and reorganized and assigned to the surrounding counties and cities to "guard the mountains", only Fan Hua's 35th Regiment still maintained the original establishment number unchanged, and was stationed in Shuanghe Town.

Shuanghe Town has a lot of land and a large grain production, and the devil asked Fan Hua to garrison Shuanghe, which is enough to prove his trust in him.

Fan Hua is indeed wholeheartedly working for the devils, during the autumn harvest last year, he only left food for the people according to the ration of fifty catties per person, and the rest was sent to the Japanese.

At the same time, he also imposed a complete blockade on Shuanghe Town, strictly prohibiting people from fleeing to ensure that the land is planted next year.

Fifty catties of grain per person can last for up to three months on the premise of barely starving to death.

There was not enough food, so Fan Hua asked the people to chop up things like bud rice stalks and mix them in cornmeal to eat.

According to his idea, as long as he can hold on until spring, the wild vegetables in the mountains will allow these people to persevere.

Zhang Guan had the intention to get rid of Fan Hua early on, but the strength of the 35th regiment was not weak, and there was sufficient ammunition and food supplies, and once he started, the devils of Panshi and Huadian would reinforce in time, and there was no chance of winning at all, so he didn't do it for a long time.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Zhang Guanyi hurriedly smiled and played a round:

"It's indeed a good opportunity to attack Shuanghe now, you guys listen to Captain Zhang's plan first."

As he spoke, he turned his face to Zhang Ping:

"Captain Zhang, let's talk about your plan first."

A touch of disdain flashed on Zhang Ping's face, and after glancing at Liu Cheng and the others, he pouted and said:

"The Japanese are suppressing you, the 35th Regiment will also participate, Lao Tzu got the news, Fan Hua will lead people to the railway line west of Panshi in the next few days to exterminate the guerrillas there."

Hearing this, Liu Cheng immediately understood Zhang Guanyi's intentions.

Since the guerrillas dispersed, he and Li Hongguang's brigade have been in the Pandong and Huadian areas, but the second brigade has never been seen, it turns out that it has been operating along the railway, it is obvious that Zhang Guanyi wants to use Zhang Ping to attract the attention of the devils and buy time for the second brigade!
