Halfway through the words, Okamura reacted.

At that moment, Okamura Ninji asked, "Mizuhara-kun, do you mean that the surrender is fake, and it is true to show it to the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor, right?" ”

"Yes." Takuya Mizuhara nodded, and then said, "But it's not all right." ”

"Isn't that right?" Okamura Ninji frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "One of the intentions of recruiting the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is to show the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor, so that the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor mistakenly think that there is a certain possibility of recruiting the 386th Brigade, so he gives His Excellency the General a longer time limit, but in addition to this, there is actually another layer of intention." ”

Okamura Ninji couldn't help but cast a strange glance at Takuya Mizuhara.

The first intention of Takuya Mizuhara has already been seen by him.

But the second layer of intention that Takuya Mizuhara said, he really didn't see it.

Even now, with Takuya Mizuhara's prompt, Okamura Ninji still can't think of it.

Okamura Ninji glanced at Takuya Mizuhara with a strange gaze, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the purpose of the second layer?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara smiled slightly, and then said: "The second intention of the surrender is, of course, to lure the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army into being fooled and take the initiative to attack to grab food!" ”

At this time, Okamura Ninji finally reacted: "You mean ......"

Takuya Mizuhara smiled and nodded, and then continued: "The Eighth Route Army is short of food at the moment, if Your Excellency the General proposes to surrender them at this time, there is no doubt that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will most likely make a false deal with you and propose the condition of defecting to the Imperial Army, and this condition is most likely to let the Imperial Army provide food!" ”

Okamura Ninji said: "Then you can make a fuss with food?" ”

"Yes." Takuya Mizuhara nodded happily and said, "How to make a fuss about food, Your Excellency the General must have more experience than me in this regard, so I won't say anything more." ”

"Oh, I want to say." Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said, "Mizuhara-kun, you continue to plan. ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji continued: "What would I do if I asked you to do this article. ”

Takuya Mizuhara could only continue: "If I am asked to design, it must be gradually and credibly, and it will be a two-pronged approach!" ”

"Gradually win the trust, two-pronged?" Okamura Ninji bowed his head lightly, and said, "Mizuhara-kun, you expand it." ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "Your Excellency, the level of mutual trust between the Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army can be said to be very low, so according to the normal logic of surrender, the first step to do is to strengthen mutual trust, right?" Moreover, the measures used to strengthen the mutual trust between the two sides should best be made public, so that the 386th Brigade or Chen Gen can also give a reasonable explanation to his superior unit about the interaction between the two sides, which will provide cover for the next surrender plan. ”

"Well, you have a lot of point." Okamura nodded and said, "What are the specific measures?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "Food for prisoners of war, so far, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has still detained more than 1,000 imperial prisoners of war, Your Excellency the General can use the humanitarian spirit as an excuse to exchange prisoners of war and food, so that this matter can be carried out publicly, so whether the final transaction is successful or not, with this interaction, Your Excellency the General and then the next surrender work can be carried out smoothly in secret, which is in line with the normal logic of surrender, otherwise it will be too serious, and it will definitely not be able to hide from Chen Gen. Li Yunlong and Wang Ye. ”

"It makes sense, it's a gradual credibility." Okamura nodded and said, "So what is the two-pronged approach?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara continued: "After the initial contact, Your Excellency the General can send an envoy to contact Chen Gen and propose the conditions for surrender, and if you change it to another Eighth Route Army, there is a high probability that you will refuse, but Chen Gen is likely to choose to make a false deal with Your Excellency the General, and may even propose an exchange of conditions." ”

"Why?" Okamura Ninji asked, "Mizuhara-kun would be so sure?" ”

"Your Excellency the General has misunderstood, and I am not sure." Takuya Mizuhara said, "I'm just saying that there is a high probability that Chen Gen will propose an exchange condition, but one thing is certain, that is, once Chen Gen decides to be false and wrong, one of the proposed exchange conditions will definitely have food, there is no doubt about it." ”

Okamura Ninji asked, "And then it's a two-pronged approach?" ”

"Yes, it's a two-pronged approach." Takuya Mizuhara nodded and said, "On the one hand, we are making a fuss in the process of delivering grain, such as ambushing the people and grain transport troops of the 386th Brigade with heavy troops, and on the other hand, we are secretly preparing multiple elite troops, taking advantage of the fact that the elite troops of the 386th Brigade are transferred to the grain delivery site, and taking advantage of the emptiness of the garrison in the Taiyue bandit area to launch a fatal blow!" Specifically, it was the infiltration tactics when they were on the battlefield in Chenzhuang, forming a big melee situation! ”

"A scuffle situation?" Okamura's eyes lit up.

"Yes, the big scuffle situation." Takuya Mizuhara nodded and said, "Once the Imperial Army and the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army form a situation of a big melee in a vast area of more than 100 kilometers, it will be like the original Chenzhuang battlefield, no one can move, and can only honestly huddle in their respective groundhog fortifications and wait for death." ”

"But now, the 386th Brigade is short of food!" Okamura Ningji said excitedly, "Once a big melee situation is formed, then the first one who can't hold on can definitely only be the 386th Brigade!" ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "But the 386th Brigade may also stand still. ”

Okamura Ningji said: "That's nothing, even if the 386th Brigade does not move, it will not form a big melee situation, and the imperial army will not have substantial losses, no matter how bad the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor will give more time, this is enough." ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji patted Takuya Mizuhara on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Mizuhara-kun, your resourcefulness is really no less than Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms, hehe." ”

"Your Excellency, the General, it's too much." Takuya Mizuhara was busy.

Okamura Ninji laughed and said, "Then send someone to contact the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Hello." Suhara Takuya paused, "I'll find a way to deliver the news to the Eighth Route Army." ”

Okamura Ningji was surprised: "Mizuhara-kun, you won't even have contact with the transportation station of the Eighth Route Army in Qinyuan County, right?" ”

"Your Excellency General, you think too highly of me, where do I have such ability." Takuya Suhara said busily, "If I really have this ability, the underground intelligence network of the Eighth Route Army in the five provinces of North China has long been uprooted by us, how can we still have no way to deal with them until now." ”

Okamura Ninji said, "Then how are you going to deliver the message?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "It's very simple, just release a few prisoners of the Eighth Route Army, and let him go back to bring a message to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army." ”

……

Okamura Ninji's meaning was quickly fed back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"In the spirit of humanitarianism, exchanging Japanese prisoners of war for food?" The boss frowned and said, "Okamura Ningji, this old devil will have such a good heart?" The sun is coming out in the west? ”

The division commander said: "There must be an article in this." ”

The deputy chief of the general staff said: "Okamura Ninji must not be well-intentioned. ”

"But now we're really short of food." The boss said, "Although the communication line in northern Henan has been opened, but from the southern Hebei Military Region to the Taihang Military Region hundreds of miles of mountain roads, there is also heavy snow in the Taihang Mountains in southern Henan in the past few days, and the snow of the caliber is said to be more than one meter deep, so the grain that can be transported in a short period of time is also limited." ”

The deputy chief of staff said: "What does the boss mean, is it a try?" ”

"Let Chen Gen try." The boss said, "I have confidence in Chen Gen, even if this kid can't take advantage of the devil, he will never suffer, just let him try, if it's true, it's good to get some food back." ”

"Yes." The deputy chief of the general staff said, "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat." ”

……

The meaning of the headquarters soon reached the Taiyue Military Region.

"Grain in exchange for devil prisoners of war?" Chief of Staff Yang Dakui said, "If you don't exchange in the morning, you won't exchange in the evening, but you just choose to exchange at this time, I'm sure there is a conspiracy in it." ”

"There is no doubt that there is a conspiracy." The brigade commander rubbed his chin and said, "The question is what kind of conspiracy is this?" ”

"I can't say this." Yang Dakui scratched his head and said, "Okamura Ningji, this old devil is scheming, I can't guess it anyway, and it is estimated that only Wang Ye can guess it." ”

"Wang Ye?" The brigade commander hummed lightly and said, "Now that the situation in northern Henan has been temporarily stabilized, there will be no big battles to fight in a short period of time, so I ordered Xiao Wang to take the wolf warrior brigade back to the Taiyue Military Region first." ”

"Yes." Yang Dakui answered, and asked again, "By the way, brigade commander, Xiao Wang has been transferred back to the headquarters, do you want to transfer Dean Xiao Wang back as well?" Otherwise, wouldn't they be separated again? ”

The director of Xiao Wang that Yang Dakui said is Wang Jiazhi, the director of the column hospital.

Wang Jiazhi had been transferred to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region and had only recently returned to the Taiyue Military Region with the column hospital.

Soon after returning, the brigade commander issued another order, asking Wang Jiazhi to go to northern Henan with a medical team to prepare for the construction of a new field hospital, of course, this is also to take care of Wang Ye and Wang Jiazhi.

"Ah, look at my memory, forget about it." The brigade commander patted his head and said with some annoyance, "However, Dean Xiao Wang has just gone to southern Henan with the medical team, and the work has not been straightened out, so it is not good to rush her back to the headquarters, so let's wait for a while, and Xiao Wang may not always stay in the column headquarters, right?" ”

"That's just as well." Yang Dakui said, "Don't we just transferred Dean Xiao Wang back to the Taiyue Military Region, but Xiao Wang is going to take his wolf warrior brigade to the Northern Henan Military Region, isn't it going to be staggered again?" ”

The brigade commander smiled and said, "So, let's wait a while." ”

"Okay, then I got it." Yang Zaikui nodded.

……

Shanyang County, suburbs.

Wang Ye and Ge Erdan were walking with Li Yunlong.

Two days ago, there was a heavy snowfall on the entire northern Henan Plain, and the flat ground was covered with snow two feet thick.

The cloth shoes stepped on the thick snow, creaking, and Li Yunlong said with his hands behind his back: "This snow is really heavy, the snow in the plains is so thick, can you still get it in the mountains?" ”

Ge Erdan said: "I heard from the political commissar that the snow in Fukou is more than one meter thick. ”

"More than a meter thick?" Li Yunlong frowned and said, "Isn't that a big trouble?" ”

Wang Ye said with a smile: "Commander, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, such a heavy snow this winter indicates that next year will be an unprecedented harvest year, and the famine in Henan can be alleviated." ”

"I hope it will be relieved." Li Yunlong patted his ass and turned his gaze to Hexian County in the south.

"This will, what kind of press conference should Chu Yunfei hold in Hexian County?"

Wang Ye raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said with a smile: "Regiment commander, judging from the time, the press conference held by the 89th Division in Hexian County should have ended, and those reporters should have secretly visited the surrounding villages. ”

"Started visiting?" Li Yunlong said, "So, Tang Enbo is about to get out?" ”

Wang Ye nodded and said, "If there is no major accident, Tang Enbo will definitely have to get out of here this time." ”

Ge Erdan snorted: "If you make a densely populated and incomparably rich Henan country thousands of miles away, and there are bones on the road, Tang Enbo should be shot for this dog's day!" ”

Wang Ye was surprised and said: "Erdan, the cultural class has made great progress, and you have learned so many idioms?" Can they all be exported? Not bad, that's good. ”

"That's it." Ge Erdan said proudly.

While the three of them were talking, Wei Xilai came running over on a military horse.

"Captain, captain." From afar, Wei Xilai shouted, "The commander ordered us to go back to Taiyue Mountain immediately!" ”

Wang Ye was stunned when he heard this, and the brigade commander asked them to return to Taiyue Mountain immediately? Could it be that the battle situation in Taiyue Mountain has changed?

Li Yunlong also thought of this, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Wang, most of the old devils Okamura Ningci know that we have opened up the communication line in northern Henan, and know that their blockade has been broken, so the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and is about to launch a strong attack on the Taiyue Military Region, quickly, you hurry up and go back with the wolf warrior brigade." ”

Wang Ye said: "Commander, then I'll go first, the political commissar, Deputy Head Xing and Lao Zhang, you can talk to me for me." ”

"Oh, when is it, you still care about this." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and go back with the wolf warrior team." ”

"Take care, Commander!"

Wang Ye stood upright and saluted.

"Let's go, let's go." Li Yunlong waved his hand impatiently.

At this time, Li Yunlong didn't realize that this would be the last reunion of their lives.

As for Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan, they didn't even see Wang Ye for the last time, and they didn't have time to say goodbye.

……

That night, Yunxiu Tower, the official residence of Huangshan, Chongqing.

Chang Kaishen looked at Chen Bui with a gloomy expression and said, "Yan Ji, what's going on?" ”

Chen Bui said: "Commission, it is said that after the press conference, a few reporters took advantage of the fact that the guards were not paying attention, and Qiao dressed up and ran outside the city, and then they couldn't hide anything. ”

The disaster situation in Henan has been completely exposed, causing an uproar.

"Damn it." Chang Kaishen said angrily, "Who is in charge of security?" ”

Chen Bui said: "The security of the press corps is the guard regiment of the 13th Army. ”

"The guard regiment of the Thirteenth Army?" Chang Kaishen was stunned when he heard this, the 13th Army was Tang Enbo's starting army.

The guard regiment of the 13th Army is even more of a descendant of Tang Enbo's lineage, how can such a force harm Tang Enbo? Could it be that there is an unknown insider story in the middle?

Chang Kaishen originally thought that the country was Chu Yunfei secretly playing ghosts.

But now, it doesn't seem like Chu Yunfei?

At that moment, Chang Kaishen said with a dark face: "What's going on with this guard regiment?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Bui said, "There is a high probability that it was a drunken accident." ”

"Drunken mishaps?" Chang Kaishen said angrily, "Arrest this regiment leader and kill him!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Bui agreed, but stopped talking, it was not enough to shoot a regiment commander.

Chang Kaishen sighed, and said: "That's it, Yan and you will visit Junru in the hospital on behalf of me, and let him be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible and return to the First War Zone to preside over the overall situation, as for Enbo......"

After a pause, he said: "Let's transfer to the Southwest Transportation Administration as a deputy director, avoid the limelight first, and then let him return to the 31st Group Army when the matter has passed." ”

Chen Bui responded: "Yes." ”

……

Tokyo, Imperial Palace Study.

Hideki Tojo said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Okamura-kun just sent a secret telegram, saying that he hopes to be able to give him another one to two months, so that he has enough time to start recruiting the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"What? Surrender the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army? Hirohito frowned, "Is it possible?" ”

For the number of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Hirohito is now thunderous.

The 69th Division, the 28th Division, and the 1st Division were annihilated successively, making Okamura Ninji, one of the three Showa Woos, disgraced, disgraced, such a unit not impress Hirohito?

So when he heard that Okamura Ninji wanted to recruit the 386th Brigade, Hirohito instinctively didn't believe it.

Hideki Tojo whispered: "Back to Your Majesty, there have been successful precedents for recruiting the Eighth Route Army before, and the highest-ranking one of them is a division commander, equivalent to a brigade commander. ”

Hirohito said: "Is it possible to succeed in this way?" ”

"It's still possible." Hideki Tojo said.

"That's good." Hirohito said, "Then give him another two months." ”

"After all, if you can surrender without a fight, it will undoubtedly be the best outcome."

After a pause, Hirohito added: "Before May, the war in Shanxi must be over, so that the empire can free up all its resources to deal with the counteroffensive of the beautiful army in the South Pacific theater. ”

Hideki Tojo sat up on his knees and said, "Hai! ”

……

Heavy snow has blocked the mountain, making it difficult to walk on the mountain road.

So Wang Ye took the wolf warrior brigade and spent a week finally returning to Taiyue Mountain.

When Wang Ye returned to the column headquarters in the Taiyue Mountains, it was already the twenty-third day of the month of 1942, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wei Dayong followed Wang Ye and his party at the entrance of the village, he was so happy, and after saluting Wang Ye, Wei Dayong hugged Duan Peng and Wei Xilai one by one.

"Captain, you're back!"

Wei Dayong smiled and said, "I almost want to die." ”

", do you really miss us? You want Satsuki, right? Duan Peng ruthlessly pierced, "But it's a pity that Xiao Yue didn't come back with him." ”

"Ah, didn't Satsuki come back?"

Wei Dayong suddenly looked disappointed when he heard this.

Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Monk, don't worry, Xiao Yue and Li Xia won't stay in northern Henan for too long, and when the communication team of the northwest Henan detachment is formed, they will be able to come back." ”

Wei Dayong sighed and asked again: "By the way, captain, did you meet Jiazhi halfway?" ”

"Jiazhi? No, I don't. Wang Ye said, "What's the matter, she went back to the Taiyue Military Region and was transferred to northern Henan?" ”

"Yes, didn't the brigade commander sympathize with you, so he asked Jiazhi to take a medical team to northern Henan." Wei Dayong said, "But according to the footsteps, you should meet at Fukou. ”

Wang Ye said: "It is estimated that the road is closed due to heavy snow, so I temporarily went to other places to support." ”

For the Eighth Route Army, medical care is the most scarce, so when the road is closed by heavy snow, Wang Jiazhi and her medical team will definitely not be idle, but will go to the nearby base area to provide medical support.

Moreover, the medical team has a special unit responsible for protection, and safety is still guaranteed, so Wang Ye does not have to worry about Wang Jiazhi and her medical team at all.

At that moment, Wang Ye asked again: "Monk, the brigade commander is in such a hurry to call us back to Taiyue Mountain, is it that the devil is going to attack?" ”

Wei Dayong shook his head and said: "The devil will not attack for the time being, but will say that in the spirit of humanitarianism, he proposed to exchange food with us for prisoners of war." ”

Wang Ye said: "There is such a thing? ”

It's really the sun coming out in the west.

Wei Dayong took Duan Peng and them back to the station of the Wolf Warrior Brigade first.

Wang Ye himself came straight to the brigade headquarters, and it happened that the brigade commander and chief of staff were both at the brigade headquarters.

"Xiao Wang, are you back? Have you eaten? Yang Dakui hurriedly took out a baked potato from the brazier, patted off the dust and handed it to Wang Ye, "Fill your belly." ”

The brigade commander also smiled and quipped: "Xiao Wang, you won't be unaccustomed to eating, right?" I've heard that the food of your Northwest Henan Detachment has been really good since it arrived in Northern Henan. ”

"Brigadier, that's good." Wang Ye said with a smile, "I eat two dry meals a day, and I can eat a white flour bun every other day, and sometimes I have a broth to drink." ”

"Damn, you're going too far."

The brigade commander said: "You eat and drink spicy food, but you forget Lao Tzu and the chief of staff." ”

"Brigade commander, our regimental commander has not forgotten you and the chief of staff." Wang Ye said with a smile, "When I came back this time, the head of the regiment specially asked me to bring back a few hundred catties of meat and white noodles to make dumplings to eat during the New Year." ”

"That's pretty much it." The brigade commander smiled and asked again, "Did the monk tell you just now?" ”

"Got it." Wang Ye nodded and said, "I don't think Okamura Ningji's intention to move will be so simple, there must be an ulterior conspiracy hidden in the middle." ”

Yang Dakui nodded and said, "The brigade commander and I also think so, but we can't think of what this conspiracy is?" ”

Wang Ye said: "Now we don't know anything, and there is no point in blind guessing, what I mean is that you might as well send someone to contact the devils first, and find a way to touch their bottom first." ”

"Agreed." The brigade commander nodded and said, "But the meeting place is in our base area, as for the candidate, it's better for you to go, Xiao Wang, you kid is superb, and your brain is even more flexible, even if there is really something, only you can kill others, no one can hurt you in the slightest." ”

"Yes!" Wang Ye responded, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

"Good boy." The brigade commander patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said, "Then when do you plan to go to Qinyuan County?" ”

Wang Ye said: "The soldiers are very fast, I'll rush over now, if it goes well, there will be news in two or three days." ”

"In such a hurry?" Yang Dakui said, "Why don't you rest for a few days first?" After all, you just came back from northern Henan and walked hundreds of miles, so you are not in such a hurry to contact the devil. ”

"Chief of Staff, what's this point of marching intensity?"

Wang Ye smiled: "I'm really fine, I can bear it." ”

The brigade commander said, "Okay, you go, stay safe." ”

Wang Ye raised his hand and saluted, turned around and walked away.

……

In the county seat of Qinyuan, the front command of the North China Front.

"Your Excellency, General." Takuya Mizuhara also handed the folder to Okamura Ninji and said, "This is the battle report that the Twelfth Army just sent about the counterattack in northern Henan. ”

By the way, after the 163rd Infantry Wing was completely annihilated, and the Provisional 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Puppet Northern Henan Security Army were successively severely damaged, Okamura Ninji did not do nothing, but immediately ordered the 35th Division and the 110th Division to organize troops to launch a counterattack from the north and south.

Even two tank squadrons were transferred from the 4th Tank Division in Guide to help in the battle.

Unfortunately, the counterattacks of the 35th Division and the 110th Division all failed, of which the counterattack of the 110th Division was repelled by the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the counterattack of the 35th Division was defeated by the 89th Division of the National Army.

This is what the telegram sent by the Twelfth Army said, and the losses were not small.

"Yagayalu." Okamura Ningji gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that there is no fundamental contradiction between Chu Yunfei's 89th Division and the Eighth Route Army in Northern Henan, if the Imperial Army cannot mobilize a heavy army group of more than two divisions and regiments, supplemented by at least one wing of chariot troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to recapture the nine counties in northern Henan." ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "Your Excellency the general is wise. ”

"Then forget it." Okamura Ningji said, "Anyway, there is still a period of time before the launch of the No. 1 operation plan, so we are not in a hurry to open the Pinghan Line, so the geographical location of northern Henan is not so important." ”

Speaking of this, he said: "Now it's better to go all out to solve the 386th Brigade first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Adjutant Machida came in quickly, and said with a pause: "Your Excellency, General, there is a person who claims to be a traffic officer of the Eighth Route Army who wants to see you by name. ”

"See me? Do cats and dogs want to see me? ”

Okamura Ninji smiled, and said to Takuya Mizuhara, "Mizuhara-kun, go see him." ”

"Hello." Takuya Mizuhara paused slightly, and immediately turned around and followed Machida out of the war room.

Less than a quarter of an hour after he went, Takuya Mizuhara returned to the war room and reported to Okamura Ninji: "Your Excellency, that person from China was sent by the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Sure enough." Okamura Ningji's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Suwon-kun, your judgment is correct, Chen Gen is really confident in himself, and he really dares to make a mistake with the imperial army." ”

After a pause, he said, "What did Chen Gen say?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "He hopes that the two sides will have substantive contacts. ”

"Substantive contact?" Okonin Muraji nodded happily and said, "Yo Xi, this is exactly what we want. ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ningji said again: "Mizuhara-kun, where does the 386th Brigade propose to meet?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara replied: "The meeting place is probably in the Eighth Route Army bandit area in Qinyuan County, as for the specific meeting place and time, we will be notified separately." ”

"I'm quite defensive." Okamura Ninji smiled and said, "Mizuwon-kun, when the meeting place and time of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army are decided, I will make a hard trip for you." ”

Takuya Suhara paused heavily: "Hai! ”

……

Two days later, a small village called Zhouzhuang in Qinyuan County.

After seeing the negotiators sent by the other party, Wang Ye and Takuto Mizuhara were also a little surprised.

"Suwon-kun, I really didn't expect it to be you." Wang Ye smiled and said, "But I'm very happy." ”

"Wang Sang, I'm also very happy." Takuya Mizuhara said with a smile, "Because trading with smart people is the easiest, and you can save a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

Wang Ye said: "Then let's save some precious time and go straight to the topic." ”

"Of course, my time is also valuable." Takuya Mizuhara said, "I'll talk about our conditions first, a prisoner of war in exchange for fifty catties of grain, this is the reserve price, and a bargain is not allowed." ”

"It can't be." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "The price is too low." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ye said again: "I really feel worthless for the officers and soldiers who fought for Japan and even sacrificed for Japan like you, Mizuhara-kun, because in the minds of senior generals like Okamura Ningji, your life is worth fifty catties of grain, and I have to say that this price is too cheap." ”

Takuya Mizuhara smiled and said, "Wang Sang, you don't need to say this. ”

After a pause, Takuya Mizuhara said again: "You know that the imperial army does not mean what you said, the imperial army simply does not want to give you too much food, rather than underestimating the value of the imperial officers and soldiers." ”

Wang Ye said: "But fifty catties of food for a prisoner of war is too little." ”

"Wang Sang, it's already a lot." Takuya Mizuhara said, "In times of famine, five catties of grain can save a life, fifty catties of grain can save at least ten refugees, and exchanging one prisoner of war for ten Chinese refugees is a very cost-effective deal for you, isn't it?" ”

"Is it really a good deal?" Wang Ye said abruptly, "Exchanging fifty catties of grain for one prisoner of war may really save ten hungry people, but this prisoner of war may pick up the butcher's knife again, but it may cause 20 or even 50 casualties among Chinese civilians. ”

Takuya Mizuhara frowned and said, "Then you make a price." ”

"10,000 catties of food for a prisoner of war." Wang Ye said.

"What?" Takuya Mizuhara said, "Are you kidding? ”

At the moment, Wang Ye and Takuya Mizuhara were like two businessmen, and they began to bargain.

However, after arguing for more than an hour, the two failed to agree on the transaction price.

It wasn't until the two of them quarreled that Takuya Mizuhara finally changed the topic and said, "Wang Sang, it seems that it is difficult for us to reach an agreement on the transaction price, why don't we go back and ask our superiors?" ”

"Okay." Wang Ye said, "I hope you can be more sincere next time." ”

After saying that, Wang Ye turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Takuya Mizuhara.

"Wang Sang, don't be in a hurry to leave yet." Takuya Mizuhara smiled and said, "After talking about business, you can continue to talk about private matters, anyway, we are both old friends, right?" ”

"How?" Wang Ye smiled and said, "You want to sell intelligence again?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara smiled and said, "Wang San, you know, I'm from Osaka." ”

Wang Ye said: "Then I have to see what information you can provide, if I spend a lot of money but only buy worthless information, then wouldn't I lose a lot?" ”

"Wang Sang." Takuya Mizuhara was also a little unhappy, frowned and said, "You can insult my military status, but you must not insult my businessman identity, who in this world doesn't know that we Osaka people pay the most attention to the word integrity in doing business?" We Osaka businessmen will never do such a thing as shoddy and price gouging. ”

Wang Ye smiled and said, "If you say I'll believe it?" If you want to sell information, you can sell it, but I have to choose what kind of information, and you'd better figure it out now, it's a buyer's market, not a seller's market that it used to be. ”

"Well, I'll admit it's a buyer's market now." Takuya Mizuhara said helplessly, "Say, what kind of information do you want to buy?" ”

Wang Ye said: "I want to know when and what day will you launch a general attack on the Taiyue Military Region?" ”

"Wang Sang, this is very boring." Takuya Mizuhara snorted, "Where is your piece of information?" You're clearly three pieces of information, okay? The first piece of information is whether the imperial army will attack your Taiyue Military Region? The second piece of information is whether this attack is a local attack or a general attack? The third piece of information is the specific date, are you really stupid? ”

"Hey, it's worthy of Mizuwon-kun, you can see through this." Wang Ye smiled and said, "You can make a price." ”

"I don't have to offer any of these three pieces of information." Takuya Mizuhara said, "Because you can't afford it, I'll tell you clearly, I can provide a batch of information on supplies." ”

"Provisions?" Wang Ye said, "Is it a provision for the front-line divisions?" ”

"That's all I can say." Takuya Mizuhara said with a smile, "If you want to know more, you have to pay, one hundred taels of gold or three thousand five hundred dollars, or fourteen thousand dollars in the ocean!" ”

Wang Ye said: "Don't you have to look at the samples first to do business?" I've got to know the amount of the supply first, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big loss to spend a huge amount of money and only buy a small amount of provisions? ”

Takuya Mizuhara said angrily when he heard this: "Wang Sang, you are insulting my businessman status again. ”

Wang Ye said: "You don't talk nonsense, either tell me the quantity, or forget it, it's not that I want to buy it." ”

"Okay." Takuya Mizuhara said helplessly, "The amount of this batch of materials is not very large, only more than 100 tons, but they are all good things, biscuits, cigarettes, sake, canned food and towels, etc. ”

"Then I see." Wang Ye smiled and said, "It's a condolence gift from Japan, right?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara smiled and said: "Wang Sang, as long as one hundred taels of gold, I will give you detailed information about this batch of condolences, about the number of trains transported from Tianjin Port to TY City, the number of convoys sent from Taiyuan to Qinyuan, the time when the convoy departed from TY City, and the information of the security forces." ”

Wang Ye said: "Okay, then I'll go back and apply for funding now." ”

"Wang Sang." Takuya Mizuhara smiled, "Then I wish you good luck." ”

……

Leaving Zhouzhuang, Wang Ye hurried back to the headquarters overnight.

"Xiao Wang is back?" Seeing Wang Ye, the brigade commander hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Did you see the representative of Okamura Ninji? ”

"I saw it, and it's an acquaintance, the guy who told me last time in the northwest of Jin that 10,000 taels of gold could buy Okamura Ningji's life." Wang Ye said with a smile.

Yang Dakui said: "Is that the Osaka man?" ”

"Yes, it's the Osaka guy." Wang Ye said with a smile.

"It's just casual talk." The brigade commander waved his hand and said, "Regarding the exchange of prisoners of war for food, how sincere is this old devil Okamura Ningji?" Is it true or false? ”

Wang Ye shook his head: "Fake, the old devil doesn't even have any sincerity." ”

"Is it fake?" Yang Dakui said, "Why are you so sure? ”

Wang Ye said: "The reason is very simple, after Takuya Mizuhara offered a prisoner of war in exchange for fifty catties of grain, I deliberately counteroffered a prisoner of war for 10,000 catties of grain. ”

Yang Dakui said: "A prisoner of war has 10,000 catties of grain, aren't you pulling a calf?" ”

"Chief of Staff, I just did it on purpose, doing business, isn't it just asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the spot?" Wang Ye said, "The reason why I deliberately wanted such a high price was so that there would be room for price reduction, and I did reduce the price later, from 10,000 catties of grain for a prisoner of war to 1,000 catties of grain." ”

"But Takuya Mizuhara didn't increase the price from beginning to end."

"That's why I dare to assert that Okamura Ninji has no sincerity."

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "If Okamura Ninji is sincere, he will definitely give Takuya Mizuhara a range, and within this interval, Takuya Mizuhara can also make concessions, but the fact is that Takuya Mizuhara has been biting a prisoner of war for fifty catties of food from beginning to end, without the slightest concession." ”

The brigade commander's brows furrowed: "So, Okamura Ningji, this old devil, doesn't want to make this deal with us at all, so why did he take the initiative to bring this matter up?" ”

"I suspect it's delaying." Wang Ye said.

"Procrastinating?" Yang Dakui said puzzledly, "Is this necessary?" Even if the old devil doesn't play with us, we don't have the ability to break through, so he needs to delay time? ”

Wang Ye waved his hand and said: "Chief of Staff, Okamura Ningji is not aimed at us, but at the top of the Japanese army, if nothing else, the old devil must be under a lot of pressure now, and even Emperor Hirohito in Japan must be constantly urging him to speed up the attack, after all, six divisions have been stationed in the Taiyue Mountains for a long time, and it is not a small number of people to eat and chew." ”

"Lying to the top of the Japanese army?" Yang Dakui said blankly, "What do you use as an excuse?" ”

Wang Ye said in a deep voice: "If I guess correctly, the old devil must say that he is recruiting us." ”

"What, surrender?" Yang Dakui said with a dark face, "This old devil really dares to think about it." ”

The brigade commander also frowned and said, "Xiao Wang, if this is the case, then wouldn't we be fooled?" ”

Wang Ye waved his hand and said: "Brigade commander, it doesn't matter if we are fooled or not, because even if we don't contact the devil's people, Okamura Ningji can lie to the Japanese military high-level and say that the two sides are in contact about surrendering." ”

The brigade commander said in a deep voice: "So, should we make a public statement to expose the old devil?" ”

"It's not necessary." Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "This kind of thing is not clear, and this is not an opportunity, an opportunity to be calculated." ”
