Zheng Weiguo carefully read the product catalog, and said regretfully: "Although the things are good, there are some things that can't be returned!" ”

After all, Tianjin is under the control of the Japanese army, and it is easy to get some small things back, so how easy is it to get the artillery back? I'm afraid that before the things arrive, the Japanese agents will come to the door.

Feng Kun smiled: "That Lu Baier probably really thinks of us as Japanese." ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, I'll take this back first, and I'll mark it next to what I need to buy." When the time comes, you can talk to Lubair again, and the price should be as good as possible. ”

Although they got a lot of money along the way, they were still a little stretched. The main reason is that there are too many places to use money, and it looks nervous when it is diluted.

Feng Kun smiled: "No problem! That guy is short of money, so when the time comes, give him more rebates, and then get it back from the price. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Well, you can do this." "Anyway, he doesn't know how to do business, so all the things about buying and selling are left to Feng Kun.

Feng Kun thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the transportation problem?" My warehouse outside the city is not very safe, so I don't dare to store too much stock. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Civilian supplies and a small number of weapons were transported to the wells, on the pretext of forming a mine protection team. Also, didn't you have any dealings with the Japanese military station? Can I get a shipping slip? If there is, it will be shipped directly to the west of Hebei! ”

Feng Kun shook his head and said, "In the past, the managers of the Japanese military stations came directly to us to procure, and they were responsible for transportation. ”

Zheng Weiguo sighed. said: "It seems that a large number of weapons can only wait a little longer. ”

He planned to form several "puppet armies" in Jizhong, and then buy and sell weapons in their name in Tianjin. This plan has already won the support of the two commanders of Jizhong, Lu and Meng, but it will take some time for it to be implemented. Another way is to let Lu Baier send the goods to the outskirts of Tianjin, and then send troops to rush them back, but this method is too dangerous and should not be used as much as possible.

Feng Kun said regretfully: "That can only be slowed down for a while." ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Well, slow down, slow down, we can afford to wait." I'm going back in two days, do you need my help? ”

Time waits for no one, and Zheng Weiguo must rush back to western Hebei to gather troops. Then prepare to go south to Henan. There are still a lot of things to do here in Tianjin. But none of them can be solved in a short time, and it seems that we can only wait for the next time.

Feng Kun hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you keep a few of the powerful brothers?" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. "Actually. The brothers who came this time originally meant to support Feng Kun. The reason why I didn't take the initiative. I don't want Feng Kun to misunderstand.

A few days later. Zheng Weiguo quietly left Tianjin. They left the castle first, then rushed to Muto Trading's warehouse outside the castle and took all the arms stored inside.

This batch of weapons was slowly accumulated by Feng Kun in the past half a year. Every time you come across a safe source of goods, you can buy it. Over time, I have saved a lot. When Li Nan went to the well a few days ago, he brought a batch of weapons with him. However, the coal mine was small and had too many weapons to arouse suspicion, so most of it remained here.

Zhang Changgui liked these things the most, and shouted happily as soon as he entered the warehouse.

Zheng Weiguo frowned and reprimanded: "Be quiet, don't call the police." ”

Feng Kun said with a smile: "The police usually don't come, but there are often bandits who come to visit!" ”

Zhang Changgui was taken aback and said, "How can there be bandits so close to the city?" ”

Feng Kun said, "Why not, when I first came here, I took my brothers and fought a few battles with them!" ”

During the period of the Republic of China, there were really many bandits, not to mention the remote places such as Northeast China, Suiyuan, Mongolia, and Xiangxi, even the hinterland of Henan and Shandong, and the metropolises of Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou were also rampant bandits.

In 1928, according to Tianjin's "Yishi Daily", "bandits are rampant, and there are cases of kidnapping and ransom in more than a dozen villages such as Xianshuigu, Guozhuang, and Siligu." "It's still light to wash a few Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and there is a bandit who actually robbed the gray bridge outside the wall and the No. 2 police station in Sixiang.

At that time, General Fu Zuoyi was stationed in Tianjin, and he saw that the police were powerless to fight the chaos, so he had to transfer the regular army to clean it up. Unexpectedly, this bandit became more and more suppressed, and the more they suppressed, the bigger and bigger, from the initial group of three or five to a group of hundreds of people. A brave general like Fu had no choice but to let the police buy armored vehicles to patrol the streets, and the suburbs could only be autonomous by the squire.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, many defeated soldiers and refugees joined the ranks of bandits, which further deteriorated the security situation around Tianjin. The Japanese army was so busy destroying the Nationalist Government that they couldn't take care of these small fish and shrimp at all, so they used bribery, recruitment, and other gentle means to win them over, and as a result, the entire suburbs became a nest of bandits.

Zheng Weiguo said: "Then you hoard the materials here, and you are not afraid of the bandits robbing them?" ”

Feng Kun pointed to the sign of Muto Trading Company and said with a smile: "Bandits are shrewd, where do they dare to provoke the Japanese!" ”

Zhang Changgui said indignantly: "This group of bastards knows how to bully the common people. If they run into me that day, they must be destroyed! ”

Zheng Weiguo had an idea and said, "Xiao Kun, can you use your connections to form a force in Tianjin to suppress bandits?" ”

Feng Kun was stunned for a moment and said, "Fourth uncle, you really dare to think about it!" Build the troops under the nose of the Japanese army? ”

Zhang Changgui's eyes lit up and said, "What's not to do?" I think it's a good idea! As long as it is done, we will have a foothold in the periphery of Tianjin in the future. If Tianjin is empty, maybe you can take advantage of the chaos to seize the city! ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "You think too much! "Tianjin is not as good as Taiyuan, there is a Japanese concession here, and it should be possible to send armed expatriates to fight at a critical time, plus the garrisons in Beijing and Tanggu are very close, and they can be reinforced at any time. Unless the strength is enough to shake two or three divisions, don't even think about it.

Feng Kun hesitated for a moment and said, "Fourth uncle, I don't think it's good to use my side at the moment, once something goes wrong, it will be too big." It is better to contact a patriotic squire in the suburbs, and then form a self-defense force or security group in the name of the locality. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, what you said also makes sense. However, you can first form a Muto Shosho Social Security Team in case of emergency. ”

Feng Kun said: "This is no problem, when you leave, I will go to the Tianjin Municipal Government to ask for an approval." ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Well, okay, do you want to leave a batch of this gun for you?" ”

Feng Kun smiled: "No! Guarding Tianjin, where can't you get a gun? ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite to you." Changgui, let the brothers move all the supplies here! ”

Zhang Changgui said happily: "Okay! ”

In addition to the group of soldiers from the special service battalion brought by Zheng Weiguo, Commander Meng and Duan Shuanghu sent a small force to secretly rush over to respond. In addition, some of Feng Kun's subordinates were also brought back by Zheng Weiguo because they were not suitable for working behind enemy lines.

Everyone worked together to carry the supplies onto the ship. However, the captured speedboat could not fit and could only be used as a guard along the way. Most of the supplies were still loaded on wooden boats. Zheng Weiguo took Zhang Changgui and other brothers with the best skills on a speedboat so that they could meet at any time. In addition, they also changed into Japanese military uniforms, which can also confuse the Japanese army when the time comes.

Feng Kun felt that he was not very safe, and secretly said to Zheng Weiguo: "Big brother, you have to be careful later. During this time, the Japanese army is stepping up its patrol of the river from Baoding to Tianjin, in case you run into it, don't fight with them! ”

Zheng Weiguo patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "If it's okay, the little devil can't help me!" As he spoke, he jumped on the speedboat and picked up Chen Wanchun again.

They have a heavy machine gun on this boat, and they can hit a dozen patrol speedboats in case they run into devils. Of course, it is better not to fight as much as possible, and it will be a great victory to send these ships of munitions back to the base area safely.

The fleet went all the way south, and it really bumped into several groups of Japanese patrol troops in the middle, not only speedboat troops, but also Japanese puppet troops guarding the coast to patrol around. Many civilian ships going north were blocked to the side for inspection, and the inspection was very strict. Every deck should be carefully inspected.

Zhang Changgui put down the binoculars and said anxiously: "Master, the devil in front of you is so strict!" I'm afraid we won't be able to get through here, so let's change the route while the devil hasn't discovered us yet! "The Haihe River basin is very different from the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, that is, there are many branch rivers, and some places can be bypassed by small rivers.

Zheng Weiguo glanced at it and said, "It's too late, turn around at this time, don't make people suspicious!" ”

Zhang Changgui was a little anxious and said, "What should I do then?" You see, the devil puppet army in front of you adds up to a lot of people. We're all stuck in the river again, and we don't even have a place to dodge! ”

Zheng Weiguo said calmly: "Pass the order, let everyone not panic!" In case it is exposed, listen to my orders before you do it. Orders were quickly passed down one after the other. The soldiers of the 33rd Division system all calmed down, and the comrades in Jizhong had never experienced such a scene before, and they were somewhat flustered.

The flotilla was getting closer and closer to the surface checkpoint, and the fighters were lying or sitting, pretending not to care, but in fact they all put their guns in the most convenient places and could fire at any time.

The Japanese only blocked the river on the right, but there was no barrier on the left (note: the traffic rule in Japan is to drive on the left, and boats are no exception). Zhang Changgui said: "What should I do with the teacher's seat? Do you want to stop? ”

Zheng Weiguo adjusted his military uniform and said, "Ignore them and move on!" ”

The flotilla continued along the river, and a Japanese officer came over to take a look, and left without saying a word. Zhang Changgui said curiously: "Why don't the devils check us? ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "How do I know the Dao? Why don't you ask? ”

The Japanese may have thought that they should have been inspected when they came out of Tianjin, or they may have seen Zheng Weiguo and their Japanese military uniforms and thought they were their own. Of course, for what reason, it is unknown.

The fleet had been walking for most of the day, and it was about to arrive at the base area. Zhang Changgui stood at the bow of the boat and said happily: "Master, I finally came back safely!" ”

Zheng Weiguo was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a group of people galloping in the distance...... (To be continued......)
