"I can't help it. I was born with a good brain. If it weren't for the war, I would have gone into business to make money." Ding Wei grinned and said.
"Of course, if you want to become my master, then I will reluctantly accept you as my disciples. From now on, you will call me master and I will call you brothers.
The three of us will discuss our own affairs without delay."
"Hey, Lao Kong, look, even if you say he's fat, this kid is really out of breath." Li Yunlong said with a smile.
"If you have the ability, give me a break." Ding Wei said directly: "You have such ability, what if I call you master?"
Seeing Ding Wei acting like this, Li Yunlong's expression froze and he said angrily: "Yes, yes, you are the smartest kid, I can't compare with you."
Kong Jie lit various cigarettes and said: "Brothers, now is not the time for joking. The Japanese have withdrawn their troops. How can we continue singing this play?"
"Old Ding, your mind is spinning fast. Do you have any ideas?" Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and asked.
"I?"
Ding Wei said: "Of course I want to continue the fight. Damn it, these little devils, do you think we are a vegetable market and want to leave if we can't buy good food?"
It's okay if I don't mention it, but Ding Wei gets angry when he mentions it.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this trend and make a lot of money on the battlefield, but Ding Wei had this intention when he deliberately disrupted the battlefield.
Halfway through the play, the Japanese retreated.
The 28th Brigade made the final fuss and gained nothing, which made Ding Wei very angry.
"You mean, preparing for a revenge action?" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
They say it's revenge, but they say they want to make a fortune.
It goes without saying that you can make a fortune by following Ding Wei.
"Old Ding, what are you going to do? Tell me quickly."
Upon hearing what Li Yunlong said, Kong Jie suddenly became interested: "Old Ding, we are brothers. If you really have this idea, you can't forget me, my brother."
"You Kong Erlangzi, you have your business everywhere, I and Lao Ding will discuss it together, why would you join in the fun?" Li Yunlong said loudly.
The piece of meat is only so big. If there is one more person, then he will have to eat less piece of meat. How can Li Yunlong, who is born in the year of Pixiu, be willing to give away the meat.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that Xinyi Tuan had been injured before, he would even have the idea of acting privately.
"Look at how promising you two are, you don't even recognize us as brothers when it comes to getting rich." Ding Wei said.
"That's right, Lao Li, you look like you haven't eaten meat for many years. Can you swallow it all by yourself?" Kong Jie seemed to have found a helper and immediately became energetic.
"Kong Er, you idiot, when will it be your turn to make noises in front of me? Why don't you just stay cool?" Li Yunlong said angrily.
Let Ding Wei do it, that strength is there, Kong Jie, who do you think you are, you dare to be so awesome in front of me.
Ding Wei said: "You two are so good at talking, do you want me to call the brigade commander back again and ask him to listen to what big plan you two have?"
"Well, brigade commander?", "Why should we ask the brigade commander for matters between us brothers?"
After hearing this, the two of them immediately became more honest.
"Old Ding, tell me your plan, what do you want to do?" Li Yunlong asked.
"There must be revenge, but certainly not now." Ding Wei said solemnly.
"Then when do you want to wait?" Kong Jie asked.
"At least we have to understand who our opponent is. We have to find out his details. At least we have to understand his combat habits and prescribe the right medicine!" Ding Wei said solemnly.
At this point, Ding Wei and Ryosuke Kamiya have collided.
Both of them want to understand each other and then give each other a meal.
"You mean the Japanese chief of staff?" Li Yunlong asked.
Ding Wei nodded and said: "Yes, it's that little devil. I always have a feeling that if we don't deal with that devil, he will cause us a big trouble sooner or later."
"That naughty little devil, I have to kill him with my own hands!" Li Yunlong said harshly.
It was impossible for Li Yunlong not to hate a person who almost killed him.
"What about our revenge?" Kong Jie asked.
"There's no rush, just wait." Ding Wei said calmly: "The little devils are here, they can't escape anyway."
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "Besides, in this battle, the Japanese army also exposed something. I have to understand this, otherwise I will not fight this battle without knowing anything."
"what?"
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were filled with questions.
"Didn't you notice?" Ding Wei said mysteriously: "In this sweep, the Japanese have exposed their fortifications, some fortresses, and strongholds.
In many places, there were no fortifications at the beginning, and my intelligence agents did not find these, but this time, they appeared in large numbers in the Japanese war zone. I think this is definitely not an accident!"
Li Yunlong looked thoughtful.
"What do you mean?" Kong Jie's mind didn't turn around for a moment: "Japs, devils, it's not normal for Japanese-occupied areas to have Japanese fortifications.
Maybe they want to tighten the defense line and eliminate any loopholes in the defense line. After all, because of the defensive gaps, we also have many loopholes to exploit."
"This is different!" Ding Wei said in a deep voice: "This time, it happened too frequently, and there were too many of them."
After a moment of silence, Ding Wei added: "Although their defense line this time is scattered, they have built a very long defense line."
"Tell me, Old Ding, what do you mean?" Kong Jie asked.
Li Yunlong said: "You are really stupid to say that you are stupid. What Lao Ding said is that the Japanese may have secretly established a long defense line.
The purpose is to guard against our attacks, limit our effective actions, and contain us and comrade troops elsewhere."
After saying that, Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and said, "Old Ding, do you think this is true?"
"Yes and no." Ding Wei said: "The devils may not be wary of our attack, but want to surround us and compress our sphere of influence.
It's like trying to catch a turtle in an urn, the place is so big, it will be much easier for them to catch us."
Ding Wei suddenly realized that the Japanese's raid was probably not just a raid, but was most likely an attempt to shrink the base area and expand the influence of the defense line.
Unfortunately, the defensive line was immature and did not achieve the expected results, and our own troops fought too fiercely, so they failed and returned.
"No way." Kong Jie scratched his head and said: "If they want to completely surround us, how big a defense line will the Japanese have to build, and how much manpower and material resources will they have to spend.
Old Ding, maybe you’re overthinking it, maybe it’s just an ordinary stronghold, and the Japanese have established a new stronghold, but it’s too dense, so you have this illusion?”
Li Yunlong tasted it carefully and nodded: "That's right. How much time will the devil waste like this?"
Ding Wei didn't say anything. He suddenly felt that he had seen this kind of ghost method somewhere before.
Macedonian Defense Line!
Is it possible that the Japanese want to imitate this place?
However, the ending of this place is not good.
The German army lured the Allied forces to support Belgium, took advantage of the Allied forces' unpreparedness, and launched a sneak attack on the Ardennes, successfully reuniting with the troops.
In the end, it led to the escape from Dunkirk, and this line of defense eventually lost its original role.
Who is so smart that he came up with such a brilliant idea?
"Old Ding, what are you thinking about, so lost in thought?" Li Yunlong asked curiously.
Ding Wei came back to his senses and said casually: "Think about how we will deal with the little devil in the future."
Macedonia is interesting.
It took the Kwantung Army several years to build a line of defense. The First Army was already burned out. How could it still be in the mood to engage in such a waste of troops and manpower?
Even so, Ding Wei did not dare to take it lightly.
Although the Macedonian defense line in history did not end well, it did not lack anything it should have internally. Although the German army had strong combat capabilities, it was also very fearful and did not choose to engage in a head-on confrontation.
"Just tell me what to do. We in the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle are here and we are not afraid of anyone." Li Yunlong patted his chest and said.
"First we have to figure out whether the Japs have expanded their stronghold or are really planning to create a line of defense." Ding Wei said solemnly.
"If the Japs really plan to use the defense line to cut off our connection with the Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong troops, then we must be careful.
Even if we risk our lives, we still have to open a hole. Once the defense line is established, we will be completely surrounded by it. There will be no way to get supplies, and we will starve to death."
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong nodded in agreement.
"Lao Kong, Lao Li."
Ding Wei looked at them and said seriously: "I'm not joking with you. Don't just think about fighting the autumn wind while watching the enemy retreat. It's most important to understand your enemy first."
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie did not refute and nodded.
Just as Ding Wei was about to continue talking, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Old Ding, it's me."
The sound of cicadas sounded outside the door.
"Old Ding, I won't disturb you anymore." Li Yunlong teased.
With that said, Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie again and said: "Old Kong, look, the sun is so round this evening, why don't we go out to bask in the sun?"
"Where can I find..."
Before Kong Jie finished speaking, Li Yunlong glared over at him.
"You kid, you don't have any sharp eyesight. Lao Ding has been spending time with us these five big and three thick Chinese characters in the past few days, and Miss Qiu Chan hasn't even seen it.
What else are you thinking, kid? I haven’t seen her for so long, and you don’t want to let me chat with you in private. If she kisses me again, would it be appropriate for you to be here?"
Kong Jie immediately reacted: "I understand, I understand, Lao Ding, Lao Li and I went out to watch the sun together. You guys can chat slowly..."
Ding Wei didn't bother to talk to them and sent them directly to the door.
Qiu Chan is standing at the door now.
"Sister, let's go, you guys chat slowly." Li Yunlong said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Lao Li and I went to bask in the sun together." Kong Jie said with a smile.
"Baking in the sun?" Qiu Chan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, feeling a little confused.
Looking at the two of them leaving, Qiu Chan said: "Old Ding, what's wrong with the two of them? Why should they bask in the sun at night?"
"Don't worry about them, these two guys are out of shape every day." Ding Wei said.
"You have been running around outside. Why don't you take a good rest when you come back? Your body will be exhausted after a long time." Ding Wei said with concern.
Qiu Chan smiled and said, "Didn't I come to you to rest?"
"..."
This sentence directly put Ding Wei out of control.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I came to you this time because I have something important to tell you." Qiu Chan said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Ding Wei asked, "Come in and talk, it's not the place to talk outside."
The two walked into the house.
Qiu Chan said: "We discovered a very strange thing outside these days!"
"You're saying that the Japanese seem to have increased their defense line, and there are a lot of fortifications outside for no apparent reason?" Ding Wei said in a strange tone.
"Hey." Qiu Chan was a little surprised: "How did you know I was going to tell you this."
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Where else can I get it? Of course it is the battle report during the war. I was talking about this with Lao Kong and Lao Li just now."
"Old Ding, what do you think the Japanese want to do?" Qiu Chan asked.
"No matter what they want to do, it's definitely not a good thing." Ding Wei said casually: "But our first goal is to understand what is going on inside the defense line.
The Japanese built these strongholds secretly, but we only found out about it during the war. This was a huge mistake. If the Japanese succeeded in establishing these strongholds, it would be a big deal."
"It was my fault this time. The Intelligence Department had this kind of information before, but I didn't trust it. I didn't expect the Japanese to make such a big fuss." Qiu Chan blamed herself.
"I also saw the war, and when I was conducting intelligence reconnaissance outside, I discovered that this stronghold was different from what I imagined."
Before Ding Wei could speak, Qiu Chan added: "But this is definitely the last time. If there is anything uncertain in the future, I will definitely report it to you as soon as possible."
Seeing Qiu Chan say this, Ding Wei's criticism came to his lips but he didn't say it out.
In the end, I can only say: "Be more careful in the future and don't make this mistake again."
"Besides this information, there is another thing." Qiu Chan said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Ding Wei said.
"There's a letter from Shandong," Qiu Chan said.
Ding Weidao: "Weiguo? I haven't heard of any major events in Shandong."
"No, it's a Japanese." Qiu Chan said.
"Japs?" Ding Wei was a little surprised: "Shandong Japs have nothing to do when they are full and write letters to themselves. There is nothing wrong with them. Even if they want to write, they are still little Japs from the First Army."
"Japanese from the Black Dragon Society." Qiu Chan's tone was a bit playful.
"Black Dragon Society?"
Ding Wei suddenly remembered that when he went to Shandong, he had indeed pretended to be a member of the Black Dragon Society, and also pretended to be a nobleman to deceive the little devils of the Yoshida Society.
"It's the Black Dragon Society." Qiu Chan said with a smile: "They sent this medicine and a letter of invitation."
"What invitation?" Ding Wei became more and more confused as he listened.
Qiu Chan took out a letter and handed it to Ding Wei, saying, "You will understand after you read it yourself."
Ding Wei opened the letter and took a quick look.
The invitation is gorgeous in style and has been specially sealed with fire paint. It is not an exaggeration to think of it as a final gift.
The cover says personally signed by Mr. Taro.
The letter started with some compliments, mostly talking about how the Genji family was doing, blah blah blah.
After seeing the back, Ding Wei understood what the Japs from the Black Dragon Society wanted to do.
In short, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Toyama Mitsuru, invited Minamoto Kotaro, also known as Ding Wei, to attend a banquet held by the Black Dragon Society in Shanghai.
The purpose is to win over Ding Wei and close the relationship between the Black Dragon Society and the Genji family.
Of course, what really attracted Ding Wei was not how grand the banquet was.
At that time, all the reputable traitors in Shanghai will attend.
How could Ding Wei easily miss such a good opportunity?
"Old Ding, look at your look, what did you write in the letter?" Qiu Chan asked curiously.
