Just like that, there was another class of soldiers without ears in Cui Rongxing's puppet army.

After this operation, Cui Rongxing reported to Chuan Yuezhi that the village was a trap.

Kawazuki showed off to his men: "I already knew there was a trap. The Chinese are very cunning."

The Japanese army did not pay a single price for this, and even the puppet army did not lose any troops.

But soon, puppet army scouts discovered more such villages on the boundaries of Wangxian County.

Even if it is true this time, Cui Rongxing still thinks that it is a trap deliberately arranged by Zhao Zhiguo's troops for them.

But Chuan Yuezhi refused to give in. Although he knew it was a trap, as the supreme ruler of Wang County, he could not allow those who resisted him to move around freely in this land.

The puppet troops were still the best cannon fodder throughout the year, and Cui Rongxing still used the old method of sending a squad of soldiers into the village to search.

It was as if the village had been bewitched, and the returning soldiers were forever missing an ear.

The puppet soldiers were panic-stricken. They began to be afraid, afraid that the scouts would bring back news, afraid that they would be selected to enter the village, and afraid that they would never be able to get rid of their identity as Ergouzi.

Cui Rongxing also had troubles that he couldn't tell. As a puppet army officer, he dared not disobey the little Japanese's arrangements.

If he does not carry out the order, Chuan Yuezhi will let him know that there are many lackeys who are willing to be loyal to the Japs. If Cui Rongxing is replaced, there will still be people kneeling on the ground begging the Japs to give them this position.

"Commander, we can't go on like this. Our troops are almost reduced to one ear."

Their army originally didn't have many troops, but dozens of them have been turned into ears.

"I know, but what can I do? In front are Zhao Zhiguo's troops, and we still don't know they are hiding in An'er, and behind are the imperial troops, which is even worse, especially that old devil Chuanyue, how smart are you?

have no idea."

Cui Rongxing's fate today was something he brought upon himself.

He couldn't afford to offend Zhao Zhiguo's troops, and he couldn't afford to offend the little Japs even more.

"Captain, you must think of a way to get the best of both worlds. If this continues, the brothers will no longer sacrifice their lives for us."

Puppet soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, everyone is missing an ear. In that scenario, everyone will think of their possible fate in the future.

Nowadays, the morale of the puppet soldiers is low, and their legs can't help but tremble when they think of entering the village.

Yesterday, two deserters appeared in his unit. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and were captured.

The furious Cui Rongxing directly ordered the execution of the two deserters.

"Captain, why don't you go and get in touch with Zhao Zhiguo? Since he has released our soldiers back, he definitely doesn't want to get into a stalemate with us. Maybe..."

Cui Rongxing also wanted to find a way out that would not offend the Japs and at the same time preserve his troops.

Obviously, the method proposed by his adjutant was also an option.

Cui Rongxing was a little shaken, but he was still very scared: "Don't forget what we did in Pingcheng!"

What Cui Rongxing and the others did in Pingcheng was a heinous crime.

"Captain, you know and I know, heaven knows and earth knows, I don't believe that Zhao Zhiguo also knows, and we will be more responsible on the boundaries of Wang County in the future."

Cui Rongxing's adjutant believed that as long as they didn't talk about the bad things they had done in the past, no one would know.

"Then arrange for someone to contact them. Remember, you must meet their highest officer."

The originally tough-minded puppet troops had to succumb under the double pressure of Zhao Zhiguo's troops and the Japanese army. After all, Cui Rongxing did not want to become an ear.

The Japanese army refused to replenish their puppet troops with troops, weapons and equipment, otherwise Cui Rongxing would have been wanting to work for the little devils.

When the puppet prisoners said that Cui Rongxing wanted to see their commander, Gao Cang and Ma Xiu Wen were a little surprised.

"Do you think this is a trap?" Matthew asked Gao Cang.

The two sides have been fighting each other for such a long time, and the battle is fierce on the battlefield, but privately they have never interacted with each other.

The most important thing is that Gao Cang and others know Cui Rongxing better than he thinks he does, and they think that Cui Rongxing cannot be so kind as to seek peace with them.

"Your ears have been saved for the time being, but when you go back, tell Cui Rongxing that there will be no good end to being a lackey for the Japs. There is only one way we can choose here, and that is to put down our weapons and surrender as soon as possible."

Gao Cang and Matthew Wen did not believe Cui Rongxing.

The puppet soldiers returned tremblingly to report to Cui Rongxing.

Cui Rongxing did not expect that he would send someone to plead in a lowly manner, but he would be met with disappointment.

Both sides are enemies on the battlefield, and neither will trust the other easily.

"Captain, why don't I go there myself and bring them something by the way? As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. It seems sincere for us to bring gifts to their doorsteps."

"Bringing gifts to your doorstep? What should I give? Weapons and ammunition? I'm sure they are not short of it, right? Food? With the little rations we have, the little devils are stuck, and it's not enough for us to eat."

Cui Rongxing thought that he didn't have what Zhao Zhiguo wanted.

"Money, who doesn't like money in this world?"

Giving money is the best and most direct way. There is no one in the world who doesn't like money.

Chuan Yuezhi also did not expect that Cui Rongxing would choose to have an affair with Zhao Zhiguo, and the Imperial Association Army was his best cannon fodder in Wang County.

When the puppet army sent someone to contact them for the second time, Gao Cang and Matthew Wen finally began to think seriously about the matter.

"The puppet troops came to contact us and came with a sum of money. It seems that their situation is not very good." Matthew Wen said.

"Instructor, I think it is better to have a conversation than to have our soldiers fight to the death with them."

"But how to talk? What is the bottom line of the negotiation?"

Negotiations must have a purpose, right? You can't just say what the puppet troops say, right?

"How about I send someone back to inform the captain?"

Gao Cang was also unsure. What conditions should be reached between them and the puppet troops that would best serve their interests?

"It's better to inform Lao Zhao, he is the only one who knows what we need best!"

Zhao Zhiguo was originally worried about how to attack the Japanese army in Wang County, but he didn't expect someone to deliver a pillow to his door while he was dozing off.

"Cui Rongxing?" Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile, "In Wang County, we only need to understand the Japanese army's intelligence."

Once you have the information, you have everything. As long as you know Kawazuki's every move, are you still worried about not having a chance to deal with Kawazuki?

"Captain, although Cui Rongxing is the leader, it's probably not realistic for him to control Chuan Yuezhi's actions, right?"

The Japanese army would not easily disclose their whereabouts to the Imperial Alliance Army. Sometimes, in order to guard against the Imperial Alliance Army, orders would be issued before the troops set off.
