Chapter 10: The Vigil at the City Gate
In the past three days, not only Gao Quan was busy working, but Zheng Guotai in Yingshan City was also not idle for a moment.
Speaking of which, Gao Quan led the red peony shopping, and before leaving, the two devils Honda and Matsumoto who were killed in the restaurant really helped Zheng Guotai a lot. Zheng Guotai drank heavily all day long due to the death of his wife, and he didn't do anything serious, and after a long time, it naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the devils in the city.
Honda is the captain of the gendarmerie in Oyama Castle, and Okazaki Nakasa did that little, of course, can't hide from Honda's ears. Because of this, Okazaki was more vigilant about Zheng Guotai's drunkenness, and he was afraid that the commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army, who held military power, would be resentful because of a woman, and would do something else. He wants the gendarmerie to intervene and take down Zheng Guotai, right? I feel that the evidence is insufficient, and it is a bit difficult to explain. You must know that the establishment of the Imperial Association Army, but the base camp personally arranged, to move a division commander of the Imperial Association Army, when there is no evidence of major crimes, his level is obviously a bit low.
For the sake of safety, Honda invited Matsumoto, who was the head of the secret service in Xinyang City, to come over, and wanted Matsumoto to justifiably review the Second Division of the Loyal and Righteous Army in the name of the higher-level secret service, control a group of middle and senior officers in this puppet army division, and take Zheng Guotai in the air or directly.
Zheng Guotai is the biggest traitor leader in Yingshan City, how could he not know the intentions of the gendarmerie captain Honda? Just when he was worried and desperate, and gave up on himself, Gao Quan came. This meeting is no less than giving Zheng Guotai a life-saving rope, otherwise, how could the first negotiation between the two go so smoothly?
As soon as Matsumoto arrived, the situation changed again. This guy is from the devil's secret service, whether it's searching, questioning, or taking people, he doesn't need to greet anyone. Zheng Guotai didn't know it until Honda and Matsumoto both died in the hotel, and the news reached the Imperial Army, Zheng Guotai was shocked into a cold sweat. If Gao Quan hadn't happened to kill these two devils together this time, I'm afraid that it would be unknown whether he would be able to continue to live by the date of the incident agreed with Gao Quan three days later.
Gao Quan made an unexpected move this time, completely cutting off Zheng Guotai's troubles. Honda, the captain of the gendarmerie who was most suspicious of him, died, and his death had nothing to do with him, and the clues of the devils' suspicions about him were broken, and if he wanted to re-select a devil who was hostile to him, he would have to wait for a while.
In the past three days, Zheng Guotai has brought the regiment commanders and battalion commanders under him one by one to talk. I have to say that Zheng Guotai is really authoritative in this puppet army. Those important officers leading troops in the puppet army division are basically all his hardcore cronies, and some of them usually don't listen to greetings, Zheng Guotai also carried out an emergency internal purge in the past three days, fully ensuring the purity of the team.
The city gate three days later was the key, and in this most critical position, Zheng Guotai sent Liu Squinting over. This Liu Yan not only followed him when he was in the security team under Chairman Han, but this kid was also a person who had face-to-face contact with Gao Quan, and he was also present when the two sides were negotiating. In addition to Zheng Guotai himself, he is the most suitable officer of the Second Division to contact the 500th Division.
In addition to sending Liu Squint and his regiment to the city gate, Zheng Guotai personally sat in the division headquarters and quietly pulled all the troops scattered outside the city into Yingshan City. Liu Squint sat at the agreed north gate, and outside the south gate, he also sent a regiment leader. As for the remaining regiment, they stayed in the division headquarters with him, the division commander, and waited until Gao Quan's troops entered the city, so that they could go with the siege troops to besiege Jiro Okazaki's headquarters.
Since the captain of the Japanese gendarmerie has just died, the new captain is not very familiar with the scope of work of the gendarmerie, so the devils in the city actually have no idea about the secret transfer of the imperial alliance army in the mountain city! If Captain Honda hadn't died, Zheng Guotai would not have been able to hide these small actions from anyone at all, but now he can complete this series of deployments unknowingly, I have to say that before he started to act, Zheng Guotai has already begun to stain Gao Quan's light.
Although the new gendarmerie captain of the devil, Captain Umemura, is not yet completely familiar with the internal environment of the gendarmerie, and he has not fully understood the character and temperament of several lieutenants and lieutenants under him, this does not prevent Captain Umemura from carrying out his work.
When the new officials take office, they all want to burn three fires. Although Captain Umemura didn't know where these three fires were burning, he still knew that diligence could make up for his shortcomings. As a result, both day and night, there are gendarmerie wearing red armbands and white helmets, patrolling the city. As a direct consequence of this intensification of patrols, the junior officers of the gendarmerie, who were extremely dissatisfied with the new immediate superior, secretly began to protest with passive slackness.
After Liu squinted his eyes to the city gate, he set up the sentry, and then pulled hundreds of his men to the empty house near the city gate to ambush them, and took a hundred henchmen and soldiers to the city gate, and waited for midnight to come, so that the city gate could be opened.
Time passed bit by bit, Liu squinted and sat in the duty room of the city gate, in this small room of less than ten square meters, a small table was placed in the middle, some wine and food were placed on it, and four people were made around the table. One of them is Liu Squint, and on the left is his adjutant Xiao Zhu, and as for the other two, they are not from his regiment, not even from the Second Division of Zhongyi.
In this tense moment, the people who can sit with him are certainly not ordinary people. These two were both scouts of the reconnaissance battalion of the 500th Division, and the one surnamed Shi was still the commander of the reconnaissance company. Both of these people were handed over to him by the master himself before he came today. Zheng Guotai made it clear that even if you Liu squinted and died, you can't let these two hurt in the slightest.
"Head Liu, drink less wine, this dish, let's eat a little, right?" The reconnaissance company commander surnamed Shi was not polite, and while eating with vegetables, he was still frequently thinking about it.
From the moment they sat here, except for the beginning, in order to express their happy cooperation and wish them a smooth operation tonight, these four people had a drink together, Liu Squint and his adjutant Xiao Zhu neither touched the wine glass nor held chopsticks. With this big thing in mind, how can you have the heart to drink wine and eat food? At this time, seeing the enthusiasm of others, Liu Squinted had to reluctantly squeeze out a smiling face, sandwiched a piece of pig's head meat and put it in his mouth to chew, but he couldn't taste what it tasted like in his mouth at all.
The wooden door was pushed open with a "creak", and with a gust of wind, a person rushed in. Liu squinted his eyes and looked back sharply, it turned out to be the guard he arranged at the door. Liu's heart jumped suddenly, and his body jumped up, "What's the matter?" Outsiders? ”
"It's not from outside the city, it's from the city." As soon as the guard said a word, he suddenly widened when he saw Liu's squinting eyes, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly explained: "It's the Japanese, the Japanese are here!" ”
