Chapter 293: The Mysterious Bowler Hat Man
No sooner had their side stopped than Arsa came.
There were still more than a dozen steps away, and he shouted at Liu Cheng and the others:
"Nonsense! What are you doing here? Don't you know that Mr. Sato is my guest? Get out of the way, and I'll punish you later! ”
Who is Saki Sato? can be sent by the cabinet to the northeast to deal with the jackals, tigers and leopards of the military, and he will not survive now with the same brain and bad mind.
If he hadn't seen the slightest bit of caution on his part, he could have packed up and died.
As soon as Arsa's words fell, Sato Ling immediately said:
"Mr. Arsa is serious, your guards are also their duty, if you want to blame, you can only blame me for not understanding the rules of your house for so long, I'm really sorry, please forgive me."
After speaking, he turned his head and whispered a word in Japanese to the ronin who had just gotten up from the ground, carrying a knife, and staring at Liu Cheng with anger on his face.
Whether others understood Liu Cheng didn't know, but he understood, what Sato Ling said was:
"Stupid, isn't it shameful enough?! Get out now! ”
The ronin quickly sheathed the sword in his hand, picked up his comatose companion and walked towards the door.
Although Arsa's words were cold, his face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed, and Liu Cheng was very helpless when he saw it.
Such a person who is full of joy and anger can survive in a place full of intrigue and calculation like Xinjing until now, and he should also be able to enter the record of the world's Guinness "lucky plate".
Before following Arsa to the front hall, Sato glanced at Liu Cheng without a trace out of the corner of his eyes, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After they left, Gao Yuan hurried to Liu Cheng's side and asked in a low voice:
"Battalion commander, will it work if we do this?"
Liu Cheng squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the front hall, and said expressionlessly:
"Then it depends on what this little devil wants......"
Jilin City, Nomura Toshio's office.
Toshio Nomura was holding a cup of steaming coffee in his left hand and a translated telegram in his right hand, with a somewhat strange expression.
There's a little bit of joy, and there's a bit of anger.
Now his mood was as conflicted as the expression on his face.
The telegram in his hand was the report of the battle in Liuhe County.
Nishitani was severely scolded by the Xinjing Command, and the results of the handling were reported.
Nomura Toshio was happy that the people of Nishitani had ridiculed him for the guerrillas before, and after Liu Cheng occupied Wudou Township, this became the handle of the people of Nishitani to stimulate Nomura Toshio.
The two had some personal relations in the past, and under the deliberate concealment of Nomura Toshio, Nishitani did not know everything about it, only that Nomura Toshio was frustrated one after another and lost his troops.
Because Nomura Toshio has always wanted to ask Nishitani for help, he selectively told Nishitani some of the situation.
Speaking of which, there is also Shao Benliang's matter.
Before Zhang Guanyi arrived in Liuhe County, the people of Nishitani almost wiped out all the anti-Japanese forces in Liuhe County under the "assistance" of Shao Benliang, which made Nomura Toshio also feel that Shao Benliang was a talent and wanted to "borrow" from the people of Nishiya to deal with Liu Cheng.
But before he could speak, Zhang Guanyi took the independent division to go, and then Shao Benliang was frustrated again and again, although he was not "completely abused", but there was no big gain.
After being ridiculed by Nishitani for so long in vain, Nomura Toshio naturally won't be happy in his heart, and now Nishitani has also been defeated, and he has lost even worse than him, and it is normal for him to be a little gloating.
The entire Onitsuka Brigade was annihilated, and the news was too shocking for Toshio Nomura.
After much searching, he finally found out that the independent battalion had participated in that battle.
Nomura's anger comes from this.
Regardless of the special reason for this, the annihilation of a reorganized brigade overnight was completely unacceptable to Nomura Toshio.
He began to worry, worried about his future and fate.
Things have developed to this point, and the cultural relics and calligraphy and paintings that were robbed before are no longer important; What matters is how he can get rid of Liu Cheng and his independent battalion.
Obviously, now he wants to get rid of the independent battalion, and there is no possibility of relying on his own strength.
He also knew a little about the defense situation of Wudou Township, and it was much more difficult to fight Wudou Township than the battle on Laoling Mountain in Liuhe County.
The independent battalion completely annihilated the Onitsuka Brigade without being fully dispatched, how strong can Nomura Toshio's brigade be than the Onitsuka Brigade?
Moreover, he is still in charge of the garrison brigade, and his forces are scattered and cannot be concentrated at all.
Although he still has a puppet army of nearly 3,000 people under his command, they are also scattered in various places to cooperate with the Japanese army, otherwise relying on the Japanese soldiers alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to put two Japanese soldiers in a village.
After a cup of coffee, Nomura Toshio still didn't come up with a way to get rid of Liu Cheng and the independent battalion.
Just as I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
A Japanese second lieutenant pushed open the door and walked in, walked up to him and saluted, and whispered:
"Your Excellency, someone wants to see you."
Nomura Toshio frowned slightly:
"Who?"
"Yes...... from Jinling. ”
Nomura Toshio's expression froze, and he immediately said:
"Take him to the underground vault, and I'll be there."
"Hayi!"
The Japanese second lieutenant saluted Nomura again and walked briskly out of his office.
Toshio Nomura slowly got up from his chair and paced around the room twice, his face sinking like water.
After a few minutes, he stopped, took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, opened the door and walked out.
The office building where Nomura Toshio is located was originally Jilin Municipal F, and when the Nomura Brigade was stationed in Jilin, the headquarters was set up here.
During this period, he ordered several renovations to the interior of the building, and also dug the basement and repaired the secret room.
The light in the chamber was dim, and a man in a gray trench coat with a top hat on his head obscuring half of his face.
Such an iconic outfit seems to be afraid that others will not know his identity.
The door opened, and Toshio Nomura walked in.
The man in the top hat stood up and bowed slightly to Toshio Nomura:
"Hello, Mr. Nomura."
Nomura Toshio returned the salute very politely, and asked in a calm voice:
"What are you looking for me?"
The man in the top hat pressed the brim down again, as if this would add to the mystery of his points.
"Mr. Nomura, I'm here to work with you."
"Oh?"
Nomura Toshio was obviously a little surprised, and asked with raised eyebrows:
"Then I would like to ask, who are you representing to talk to me about cooperation? Does this person have any hair? ”
The man in the top hat coughed dryly twice, hiding his embarrassment:
"Ahem...... Mr. Nomura said with a smile, "I don't mean anyone here, but you will definitely be interested in this cooperation. ”
Toshio Nomura still didn't have the slightest expression on his face:
"Then please tell me first, what benefits can I get from cooperating with you?"
The man in the top hat seemed to have a soft spot for his hat, and raised his hand again to press the brim of his hat:
"Wudou Township, independent battalion."
"Hoo ......"
Hearing these six words, Nomura Toshio let out a long breath, raised his hand and gestured to the man in the top hat:
"Sir, please be seated, I think we can talk about it in detail......"
Wudou Township.
Tian Liuwa was staring at the map in her room in a daze, Hao Dabao suddenly pushed the door in, walked up to him with a nervous expression, and whispered:
"Instructor, today the dark post on the east side found two people with suspicious behaviors, but the other party was very vigilant, never got too close, and left in less than two minutes."
After Tian Liuwa heard this, her two eyebrows suddenly twisted together.
Liu Cheng is not here, and what he is most afraid of is this situation.
If someone really comes to fight, he is really not afraid, and he will just greet him directly; With the current defense force of Wudou Township, Tian Liuwa really has nothing to fear.
But the situation that Hao Dabao said is not easy to handle.
The identity of the other party is unknown, the purpose is unknown, and he has not caught a live mouth, and he is completely in a state of darkness and darkness, Tian Liuwa always feels that this is a bit passive.
After lowering her head and thinking for a long time, Tian Liuwa said angrily:
"Starting tomorrow, pick some fighters with good marksmanship and take turns patrolling in three directions; As soon as you spot a suspicious target, shoot straight away! ”
After Tian Liuwa said this, she was startled.
Hao Dabao looked at Tian Liuwa directly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He couldn't believe that Tian Liuwa, who had always been honest and kind, could say such a thing.
But at the same time, he also knows that this is the only way to be safest.
Otherwise, once the enemy spies on the defense of Wudou Township, it will be dangerous.
Besides, who can go to these places without trouble? None of those locations were suitable for hunting, and all of them were almost the only routes to enter Wudou Township.
Seeing Hao Dabao looking at himself in a daze, Tian Liuwa suddenly widened her eyes:
"What do you see? Do not understand? ”
Hao Dabao hurriedly shook his head:
"No, no, no, understand, understand! Then, instructor, I, I'll go first! ”
Tian Liuwa looked at Hao Dabao's back and sighed softly.
He didn't want Hao Dabao to think that he was the kind of person who treated other people's lives as child's play.
But in fact, Hao Dabao really didn't think like that.
Among all the cadres and soldiers of the independent battalion, Hao Dabao was most deeply influenced by Liu Cheng, and he scoffed at that kind of ignorant persistence.
Before he came to Tian Liuwa, he was still thinking about how to talk to Tian Liuwa and suggest that he would agree.
didn't expect that it didn't take any trouble for him at all, Tian Liuwa figured it out by herself.
Liu Cheng is not there, and Gao Yuan is not there, which makes Tian Liuwa feel more or less bottomless, for fear that if something goes wrong, the independent battalion will fall into a situation from which she will never recover.
However, this kind of worry will not affect Tian Liuwa's judgment and command, otherwise, he would not have to give such an order.
