At this time, the war in Nanning was ignited and attracted the attention of people all over the world.

At noon on June 12, the Japanese army, with the support of artillery and aircraft, forcibly crossed the Yongjiang River and attacked Nanning. The Chinese defenders had not yet completed the deployment of the city defense, and they rushed to the battle and failed to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the river.

On the 14th, the main force of the Japanese army crossed the river and attacked Nanning, Ertang and Fengshan from the east and west, and besieged Nanning.

The 135th, 170th, and 200th divisions of the Chinese defenders were forced to retreat to Santang and Gaofeng Pass on Yongwu Road after bravely resisting and repeatedly rushing and killing, and Nanning fell.

On June 24, the Japanese army captured Kunlun Pass, a military stronghold northeast of Nanning.

On 1 July, the Japanese army attacked the 46th Army east of Yongqin Road (Nanning to Qinzhou).

The defenders took advantage of the hilly heights to put up stubborn resistance.

On the 3rd, the Japanese army deployed troops to attack Longzhou, and then retreated to Yongqin Road.

The Chinese and Japanese armies formed a confrontation situation in the area of Gaofeng Pass and Kunlun Pass.

As early as when the Japanese army occupied Nanning, Zhou Lin returned to Mingzhu.

Yamada held a banquet at the military police headquarters to congratulate Zhou Lin for his contribution to the imperial army.

Kobayashi also returned, and the two of them received the award together.

After the banquet, Zhou Lin returned to the dock and lived a peaceful life.

But after only a few days of peaceful life, Zhou Lin was invited by Wu Mingtao to the small building of the decipherment office.

"What's the matter, didn't you say that you want money and go directly to the chief of the general affairs section?"

Seeing Wu Mingtao sneaky, Zhou Lin felt very funny.

When Wu Mingtao told the story, Zhou Lin couldn't laugh.

He wanted to scold, to scold those who betrayed their ancestors and sold their souls.

It turned out that the descendant of the famous flying thief swallow Li San, the most famous contemporary thief Li 18, stole three calligraphy and painting treasures from the library of the East Courtyard of the Pseudo-Imperial Palace in Puyi, Changchun.

Among them, the most famous is the only surviving masterpiece of the Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan - the Qingming Riverside Picture.

Li 18 was chased along the road and fled to Mingzhu.

And the Kwantung Army sent a call to the Pearl Army stationed in China, hoping to capture Li 18 and recover the treasure.

Not only that, one of Li Eighteen's senior brothers betrayed Li Eighteen and betrayed his whereabouts to another rival gang.

There were many people from other gangs in that gang, so many people in the rivers and lakes came to Mingzhu, and many of them had connections with Chongqing and Wang Puppet.

Everyone has selfish intentions, they want to hide it from the Japanese, and the Japanese know that they have no share of their own.

Concealed from the Japanese, found the whereabouts of Li Shiba, and wanted the power in his hands to get the treasure and make a windfall.

Even those people who are pseudo-Wang usually see the Japanese as if they have seen their fathers and mothers, but in this matter, everyone hides it in their hearts.

Each sent elite soldiers to strengthen the pearl in the future, and it is bound to win.

And Wu Mingtao cracked their secret telegram and gathered together.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Lin looked at the things handed to him and asked puzzledly.

"Director, can I tell the truth?" Wu Mingtao asked.

"Mr. Wu, please speak!" Zhou Lin found that Wu Mingtao was different from usual.

"I'd rather this treasure be owned by you than be uprooted from my homeland."

Zhou Lin's heart moved: "Why do you say that?" ”

"You're a big traitor, but you got it, it's still at home. If the Japanese took it, it would have been abandoned, and the ancestors would not have peace underground. ”

Zhou Lin was touched a little, this Wu Mingtao didn't seem to have rotten roots.

"However, these telegrams must be handed over to the Japanese." Zhou Lin said.

"I'm blind and I'm looking at the wrong person." Wu Mingtao immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

Zhou Lin stopped Wu Mingtao: "After listening to me, I also want this treasure, if it comes to my hands, I will keep it forever." Even if I want to sell in the future, I will sell to Chinese, not foreigners. It has nothing to do with whether I am a traitor or not. ”

"Then why did you give these materials to the Japanese?" Wu Mingtao asked.

Zhou Lin looked outside the house, ordered tea with his hand, and wrote on the table: Your whereabouts and my whereabouts are monitored by the Japanese 24 hours a day.

Wu Mingtao looked at Zhou Lin and gave an inquiring look.

Zhou Lin nodded, and wrote: I am no different from you, they are both tools.

Wu Mingtao shook his head and sighed and wrote: Then you are still working hard for them?

Zhou Lin wrote with a wry smile: I have the blood debt of Yan'an, Chongqing! Do you think I have a way?

Wu Mingtao thought about it and wrote: You have no way out. Do you want this treasure?

Zhou Lin handed Wu Mingtao a cigarette: Of course I want to! The Japanese knew what, I wanted to get rich and rob treasures, but I didn't go to the Japanese.

Wu Mingtao was puzzled: "You gave all the materials to the Japanese, so how can you rob them?" ”

"If you don't give it to the Japanese, there are so many forces, I can't grab it?"

Wu Mingtao finally understood: You want the Japanese to fight with them exhausted, you can profit from it, your trick is powerful.

"I have to help you do all this, otherwise I won't be able to do it."

Wu Mingtao asked: Since the materials are to be given to them, how can I help you?

Zhou Lin smiled and took a puff of his cigarette: I only need to know two hours before the Japanese.

Wu Mingtao: I can promise you that after the decipherment is completed, I will press it for two hours before submitting it.

Zhou Lin took out a promissory note of five thousand oceans from his body and gave it to Wu Mingtao.

Wu Mingtao doesn't want it, he's not for money, he changes his taste when he takes money.

"You take the money, and we're a partnership. Otherwise, neither side will trust the other. Zhou Lin wrote.

Wu Mingtao immediately accepted the money and acknowledged the cooperative relationship between them.

Zhou Lin took the materials, sat in the office of the decipherment office, and read all the messages.

A total of eight groups were tracking Li 18 and chased Mingzhu from the northeast.

But after arriving at Mingzhu, Li 18 disappeared and disappeared from their sight.

However, they were all sure that Li Shibai definitely did not leave Mingzhu.

After reading the materials, Zhou Lin took them to the military police headquarters.

When Zhou Lin presented these materials to Yamada, Yamada asked, "Have you seen it?" ”

Zhou Lin immediately agreed: "I decided to hand these over to the head of the agency after reading them." ”

Yamada didn't say anything, Zhou Lin was right, only if he had read it, he could hand over which materials to the gendarmerie headquarters and which ones did not need to be handed over, this was the duty of the director of the decipherment department.

Yamada watched on the desk, while Zhou Lin and Xiaolin sat on the sofa and did not speak, for fear of affecting Yamada.

After watching for seventeen or eighteen minutes, Yamada raised his head: "Come over here." ”

Zhou Lin and Kobayashi came to the desk, waiting for Yamada's order.

Yamada was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Guess what, will Chongqing and Yan'an send people to snatch the 'Qingming Riverside Map'?" ”

Xiao Lin replied first: "Of course I will rob it!" Now many forces have come to the pearl. Even Yan Xishan sent people, and Yan'an and Chongqing would let it go. ”

Seeing that Zhou Lin didn't speak, Yamada asked Zhou Lin, "What do you think?" ”

Zhou Lin: "I only recognize money, if I have the opportunity to grab it, I will definitely rob it, I will make money all my busy life, if I want to sell it, it can be tens of millions of income." With tens of millions of income, someone will not be tempted? Then he is the Buddha statue in the temple. ”

"Buddha statues also need money and things! The money and things that were paid as tributes were given to the Buddha. Xiao Lin pointed out that Zhou Lin's words were wrong.

"That's not the Buddha statue taking the money, that's the monk taking the money." Zhou Lin explained. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
