The reason why they were accompanied by two agents of the military command was mainly because the Kuomintang had more advantages in power and personnel on the surface, plus Chennault cooperated with the Nationalist army, and the Flying Tigers were mainly to assist the Kuomintang, so the special approval document was issued from Chongqing.

In order to prevent any accidents between the two of them on the way, the military commander sent two agents, Xu Jingman and Yao Hu, to accompany them all the way, and in the name of protection, they also inquired about the news of the two of them.

Xu Jingman and Yao Hu are both old agents, and they all have a lot of hearts, even Zhang Yang and Perez have to deal with it carefully. What's more, Xu Jingman, a woman, is still a difficult agent who is proficient in French, German, and Japanese foreign languages?

"Mr. Morpheus is gracious."

Xu Jingman covered her mouth and chuckled, she was also quite helpless in the face of Perez, who did not eat oil and salt, she also knew that the name Morpheus was the pseudonym of the other party, and the Chinese man who accompanied her was under the pseudonym He Siyuan, and he directly closed his eyes along the way, without giving Xu Jingman a chance to start.

Sighing lightly, Xu Jingman was repeatedly disappointed, but he still had to continue his work. Not long ago, the military commander cracked a British spy organization in China, and is currently negotiating with it, trying to win cooperation with the other side, so as to add some bargaining chips to the victory of the anti-Japanese war.

Although the speed of the donkey cart is not fast, it is easy to make people sleepy when it is bumpy and bumpy, but fortunately, they are all small roads, and they avoid the Japanese-occupied areas along the way, and most of them choose deserted paths. The four members of the group all carried guns with them for self-defense. But he didn't bring grenades.

In these years, there was a shortage of soldiers, there were wars everywhere, and many desperate people went up the mountains and fell into the grass. became a bandit. Except for the really vicious people, most of the bandits are also forced to helpless, after all, no one wants to starve to death, they all want to live.

At the current rate, by evening they would be able to reach a small county town, which had been captured by a national army and a provisional government had been established. It's just that it is said that this unit is negotiating with a bandit in the mountains near the county seat, and the plan of the national army is to absorb the other party. However, the specific conditions are still being discussed by the two sides and have not yet been decided.

If it weren't for the fact that there were Japanese troops on other southbound routes nearby, Zhang Yang and his party would not have chosen to pass through here, because they wanted to enter the city. They had to pass through the bandits' territory. This is also the only thing Xu Jingman is worried about.

This bandit is not a newcomer, but a group of old oilmen, almost everyone has a life in their hands, the scale is about a hundred people, although the combat effectiveness is average, but it is not afraid of death, plus the local people are fierce, even the well-equipped national army does not want to take the means of losing both. Otherwise, it would not be the idea of co-opting the other party.

There are two infantry battalions and an artillery battalion stationed in Heyang City. All of them belong to the 211th Regiment under the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. After the 211th Regiment recaptured Heyang City, it left three battalions here, and the rest of the troops were stationed at another strategic point in the southwest.

"There are still three hours before dark, and I don't know if anyone has arrived, but don't let Liu Da stick cut off his beard."

In Heyang City, Zhao Shanyun, deputy head of the 211th Regiment, looked at the sky outside the window, and was not in the mood to continue to look at the map, so he simply stood up and walked in the courtyard.

Just the night before, he had received a telegram from Chongqing, saying that two agents of the military command were covering the two special personnel on their way south, and that they would pass through his jurisdiction on the way, so he should pay attention to it.

Since there was no political commissar in the Nationalist Army and other armies except for the Communist Army, but in some cases it was necessary to have a person other than the regiment commander to sit on one side, Zhao Shanyun, the deputy regiment commander, was left in Heyang City to be responsible for the strength and operational command of the three battalions.

According to the combat sequence of the national army, the regiment commander is a colonel, and his deputy regiment commander is a lieutenant colonel.

"Deputy Commander, why don't you send a few brothers to pick it up? A group of people from the reconnaissance company have already gone out, and no news has come back. ”

The accompanying chief of staff saw that Zhao Shanyun was a little irritable, and tentatively came up with an idea.

Zhao Shanyun looked at the sky, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, let the people from the cavalry company go to a few to pick up the guys, don't need too many people, let them bring guns, if it's okay, it's best, if there's something, you can't let people copy the guys and do it." Liu Dabang, that guy has a criminal record. ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

The chief of staff immediately went down to arrange for men, and not long after, three fast horses rushed out of the place where the cavalry company was stationed and went straight along the main road to the north of the county seat.

"Lao Yao, do you want to change me to catch the car back?"

Zhang Yang looked outside, the weather in August was very hot, and there was barely a cool breeze in the car, and Yao Hu, who was driving the car, was slightly blackened from the sun, but it was obvious that he was very familiar with this kind of work, and he didn't have any uncomfortable looks.

"It's okay, this little sun is nothing, I estimate that there will be more than an hour to reach the county seat, and it will be liberated by then."

Yao Hu waved his hand and rejected Zhang Yang's kindness.

"Uh, okay."

Zhang Yang retracted his neck, and at this moment Xu Jingman was sitting opposite him, and he didn't know what the other party thought, he didn't wear an ordinary cloth skirt, but wore a light blue close-fitting cheongsam. Cheongsam, a close-fitting costume, was very common at this time, from eighty old ladies to little girls over ten years old.

And although Xu Jingman is thirty years old, she has no old intentions, but she has a rich smell all over her body. Under the cheongsam is flesh-colored suspender stockings, Zhang Yang has only seen this kind of dress on TV before, and it is the first time he has seen a real person.

Even Perez, who claims to like blonde hair and blue eyes, is a little moved in the face of this kind of close contact, but fortunately, he knows Xu Jingman's identity very well, and at most he eats tofu with his eyes. And Zhang Yang is not surprised, the female agents in the TV series randomly pull out a top-level courtesan, this little trick is not handy?

"Ahem." Zhang Yang coughed dryly, and when his gaze swept over Xu Jingman just now, he just met Xu Jingman's slightly playful gaze, which made Zhang Yang suddenly a little embarrassed. Although I didn't plan to peep into anything, the carriage was so big that it was impossible not to keep my eyes on it.

Seeing Zhang Yang turn his head awkwardly, Xu Jingman had a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously Zhang Yang's behavior showed that his dress was still very attractive.

It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and it is the same no matter which dynasty it is placed in.

As his gaze shifted, Zhang Yang noticed that the scenery outside had changed to a mountain peak, and the donkey cart was now walking on a dirt road between two mountains, surrounded by verdant dense forests. Since the spring is past the time of green and yellow, the trees that have been stripped of their shoots and bark by the poor people have become dense again.

The peaks on both sides are not too high, about more than 200 meters above sea level, but they are relatively long, surrounded by shrubs, low jungles, if people hide in them, there is no way to detect it.

"This is Centipede Ridge, and the territory of Liu Dabang is the territory of Liu Da Bang for several miles, and it is also the biggest bandit here, and it has been three or four years."

After entering the mountain, Xu Jingman's face became slightly solemn, obviously still a little scared.

"Bandits?"

Perez's Chinese was not too familiar, so he read it vaguely.

"It's the bandits, they all have guns, but our people are negotiating with them to take them in, so it's unlikely that a conflict will break out."

Xu Jingman patiently explained, and Perez nodded to show that he understood. And Zhang Yang frowned a little after hearing that there were bandits here, and vaguely felt that the journey along the way would not be too smooth.

Incorporated? Are bandits so easy to co-opt?

Speaking of bandits, Zhang Yang's first reaction was not the mountain carving in "Lin Hai Snow Plain", but the gang of bandits Xie Baoqing who was beheaded by Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword".

Maybe it's because there are too many TV rebroadcasts, Zhang Yang is deeply impressed by Xie Baoqing's. was robbed by Li Yunlong's guard monk, and killed several of them out of self-defense, but was shot black by the second boss and cut off his head. The furious Li Yunlong directly pulled the independent regiment to bombard Heiyun Village, and Xie Baoqing and the second leader failed to run away in the end, and were personally understood by Li Yunlong.

Although he knows that the TV series is fictional, Zhang Yang doesn't think that the old bandits who can be entrenched here for three or four years can be co-opted by others lightly.

However, what made Zhang Yang nod secretly was that when the Japanese army occupied Heyang City, this group of bandits did not join the other party, and the Japanese attacked Centipede Ridge several times but did not defeat it, but the security team in the city surrendered at the first time and became a puppet army. From this point of view, this gang of bandits still has some positions.

Although Xu Jingman said that the nearby national army was negotiating with the other party about the integration work, and it was unlikely that he would do it, Zhang Yang still took out a pistol and bullets out of the principle of caution and checked them, just in case.

Perez saw Zhang Yang's movements, and he also raised his vigilance, in this typical place that is easy to be ambushed, what he is most afraid of is not frontal combat, but being coldly shot.

"You ......" Xu Jingman didn't explain much when she saw the movements of the two, in fact, even she herself was a little worried and jealous, so she simply took out a pocket Browning pistol from her bag and loaded it with a magazine (you can refer to the one that Chu Yunfei gave to Li Yunlong in the bright sword).

None of the lamps that came out of the military command were fuel-efficient lamps, not even a woman. In some ways, women in the secret service profession are even more dangerous than men. (To be continued......)
