。 Chapter 3 (Part I)

The voice fell. The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle hitting the ground. Several agents of Zhongtong who had arrived on a secret mission knew that they might not be able to complete the mission. All of them have dead ashes on their faces. The minions of the Black Wolf Gang also understand that everyone may lose the opportunity to whitewash their identities this time. Look at each other. His eyes were full of regret and unwillingness.

It's Peng Xuewen. It has successfully stopped the conspiracy of the Central Bureau. and easily caught the spies sent by the puppet Manchukuo to Heishi Village. I feel so proud. He watched coldly for a moment. smiled and threw his hand towards Zhou Heitan." Camp Chief Zhou. You're going too far. Your Battalion Commander's Certificate of Appointment is issued by the Military Council. And it's not issued by any of them. The people of the Central Command want to use you as a gunman. The Military Council really wants to recruit you and the heroes of your Black Wolf Gang. I don't believe you ask Lao Wu and Lao Sun about them. Their 211th Brigade doesn't mean that.."

"yes. yes." Liaison Officer. Several soldiers from the 211th Brigade spoke in unison. Our Brigade Commander Sun of the 211th Brigade admires the heroes of the Black Wolf Gang very much. But Camp Commander Zhou, you also know . We soldiers sometimes do things involuntarily. The Central Bureau of Statistics had to send someone to follow along to take a look. We can't just say no.."

Zhou Heitan was originally very reluctant to get the position of battalion commander that he had finally gotten his hands on. Now that there are enough steps. He will no longer hold on to his face. Thought about it. Said loudly: "I don't read much every week. I don't understand what this game is. But I know it. The national disaster is at the head. We can't just fight in the nest. If you 211th Brigade want to let Lao Zhou's team fight devils. My old Zhou's life is your Brigadier Sun. But if you want me to pick up a gun to deal with my brother who used to fight devils. I'm sorry. Such an order. I don't dare to listen to it."

"Camp Commander Zhou is right. Our 211th Brigade. It's for you to dare to bare your teeth with the little devil. I came to the door." Listening to Zhou Heitan's tone, there is already room for manoeuvre. Several real servicemen hurriedly spoke out loud.

"Today's thing. It's completely on his own behalf from the guy with the surname Mu. Our Brigadier Sun is the most annoying to fight."

"yes. Oh, yes. They are the Central Bureau. Our 211th Brigade is the 210th Brigade. They have nothing to do with each other."

The soldiers blushed. Laugh along. Struggled to do a job that shouldn't have been. One by one, they were sweating profusely.

"What Zhou just said was so offended." Zhou Heitan nodded. Slide down the steps laid by the soldiers." But put the ugly words ahead. It's better than pushing three blocks and four strong at critical moments. A few of you can tell Brigadier Sun when you go back. His kindness. Zhou will never dare to take it. If he has a calling in the future; Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you. Zhou won't frown."

Turn around. He quickly put on a straight face again. Adjutant Mu. I don't know if you heard what Zhou said just now."

"Listen. Heard clearly. Hear me clearly." Lieutenant Mu was ashamed and angry. I can't wait to pull out the gun directly and execute Zhou Heitan on the spot. But I had to pretend to be remorseful." Camp Commander Zhou put his anger down for the time being. Something just now. What a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding is not misunderstanding. It doesn't count if you say it yourself." Zhou Heitan glared at him. Scolding." Zhou has always treated you as a guest. But since you refuse to follow the rules of being a guest. Zhou didn't dare to take in a guest like you anymore. Let's go. Bring all your brethren from the Central Bureau. Zhou is in the Black Stone Village. I don't want to see you guys again."

"This .......," Lieutenant Mu wanted to explain a few more words. Zhou Heitan refused to give him any chance. tilted his head towards Li Laojiu. shouted loudly: "Old Nine. Drop-off."

"Yes." Li Laojiu responded loudly. Reach out. Hold Lieutenant Mu's armpit." Let's go. Adjutant Mu. You first go to a cool place outside the city to treat your wounds. Mounts and luggage. I'll get someone to send it to you in a moment."

"Camp Commander Zhou. You can't do this. It can't be like this. Let's talk about it beforehand. Didn't you say it in advance....... "Lieutenant Mu dragged the floor with his legs. Struggling desperately. However, his strength is far inferior to that of Li Laojiu. I just got shot in the shoulder socket again. was dragged half by Li Laojiu. Protesting all the way towards the south gate.

The other two Zhongtong agents saw that their boss had been taken away. I don't have the face to rely on it anymore and refuse to leave. glared at Peng Xuewen hatefully. He turned and ran to the gates of the city.

Watch their figures disappear around the bend of the street. Zhou Heitan smiled again. Gently bow your hand to Peng Xuewen and Zhang Songling." Commissioner Peng. Brother Zhang. I'm sorry. Zhou made friends carelessly. Scared both of you."

"Where. Where. It's their bad intentions. I can't blame you Camp Commander Zhou." Peng Xuewen smiled. Respond with a fist in the courtesy of the rivers and lakes." What the captives just confessed........."

"I hear it all. I hear you." It's about the safety of Heishi Village. Zhou Heitan can't not take it seriously." I didn't expect the traitors of the puppet Manchukuo. I'm actually eyeing this too. Commissioner Peng is relieved though. When I got back, I sent for a search of the inns in the city. As long as it doesn't look like a local. Let's grab it and say hello."

"There shouldn't be any more Assassin allies. But it doesn't hurt to be careful." Peng Xuewen is very confident in his interrogation level. Nodding. Added with a smile. This captive is worthless. Exactly what to do with him. Please also ask you, the owner of the Black Rock Village, to make the decision."

"Commissioner Peng's decision. It's my decision." Zhou Heitan waved his hand aggressively. Said with a smile. Come people. Take this guy to the side of the road. Give him a good time."

"Yes." The two minions said yes loudly. Drag the captives from the ground who can no longer afford to resist. rack to the side of the road. Cut the throat with a knife. Then he walked over to several other puppet Manchu agents lying in a pool of blood. Regardless of whether the other party is still angry or not. Wipe a knife at the throat.

Crisp and neat killing action. Order the officers of the 211th Brigade who remained. The heart is a pang again. For days. They admired the rudeness and boldness of the horse thieves. But it is rare to see the ruthless and decisive side of horse thieves. It wasn't until today that Huo Ran found out. It turns out that Zhou Heitan and the others are not the kind of turtle hillbillies they imagined they could fool casually. Opposite. These horse thieves know how to take chances. They know how to do the best for themselves without being controlled by outside forces. It's the self-proclaimed well-informed ones. Before you know it. It has been used several times by horse thieves. And what is harvested. Far greater than their own efforts.

This is the effect that Zhou Heitan wants. He was reluctant to accept the letter of appointment of the battalion commander. I don't want others to interfere with my own one-third of an acre. That's why he used the people of the Central Bureau of Statistics to temporarily assassinate Peng Xuewen and Zhang Songling. Drove Lieutenant Mu and the others out of the Black Stone Village. Then he disposed of the captives cleanly. Punish someone as a warning to others. lest the liaison officers from the 211th Brigade make too many demands on themselves in the future. As for whether the target of Lieutenant Mu's assassination at that time was Zhang Songling or Peng Xuewen. In the end, there was no prior collusion with the puppet Manchukuo spies. He wasn't interested at all. Anyway, he already got the position of battalion commander. The nasty guys who dare to dictate to themselves are all gone. Those details that have nothing to do with the big picture. There's no need to dig deeper.

Several potential internal hazards have been solved one after another. Zhou Heitan was happy in his heart. Next, let's talk to Zhang Songling. It's a lot more frank." Brother, you risked your life to deliver a letter to me. I'll tell you the truth. What about this black stone village. I'm not going to let it out. It's a big deal to fight with Whitebeard. We Chinese face can't be disgraced either. But what. I will drive the people out of the city as soon as possible. lest they suffer from the fish in the pond. Our Black Wolf Gang's old and weak and lottery numbers will also be sent to other hideouts as soon as possible. I won't leave them in the city and wait for Whitebeard to come and kill them."

"Reinforcements led by Captain Wang are already on their way. After I joined him. I'll come back and help you right away." Seeing that Zhou Heitan has decided to go a way to the black. Zhang Songling no longer wasted any more time. Thought about it. Smile and say goodbye to each other.

This time. Zhou Heitan did not force him to join or stay. Just leave him behind. It will bring great benefits to the future development of the Black Wolf Gang." Then I'll have someone prepare dry food for you right away. After meeting Redbeard. You tell him. No matter how many soldiers he brought with him. I Zhou someone misses his love. Wait for the independent battalion to pass the current hurdle. You and I are hardcore brothers. No matter who sows discord out of it. None of the independent battalions will take the initiative to turn their guns on the red-bearded men."

"Then there's Camp Commander Lao Zhou." Zhang Songling nodded. It is natural to associate the title of Zhou Heitan with his official position. As the saying goes, more than one friend, one more way. With the current strength of the Lama ditch guerrillas. Choose to be an ally with Zhou Heitan. It's better than choosing him to be the enemy.

"I'll ask Lao Yu to go with you to fix the radio station now." I promised Zhang Songling that I would never go back. Peng Xuewen announced in a low voice next to him.

"Once the radio station is fixed. I'll keep it in touch with the city at all times." Zhang Songling thought about it. Solemnly promised.

"When the time comes, listen to what your Captain Wang means." Peng Xuewen didn't believe that Zhang Songling could call the shots in this kind of thing. Smiled. Noncommittal.

The two of them whispered again to finalize the time of the daily telegraph exchange. and details like password selection. Soon. I came up with a simple contact plan. When everything is almost discussed. The dry food eaten on the road was also packed up by the men of the independent battalion. Zhou Heitan personally pulled out Zhang Songling's Oriental white horse from the stable. He also ordered someone to bring out three of the Japanese improved war horses that had just been captured. As a gift to Zhang Songling. For him to transfer with the guard Xiao Zou and the military commander agent Lao Yu on the road.

With these three good horses. The speed of Zhang Songling's return has increased by nearly half. It took only one day and one night of effort. It was joined by Redbeard, who led the team to reinforce Blackstone Village.

"Is he reluctant to abandon the city?" The reaction of Zhou Heitan has long been expected. didn't wait for Zhang Songling to report to himself. Redbeard asked with a smile.
