Li Daben was reporting to Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang. Zhou Weihan thought that the transportation channels to the base area had been opened, and it was time to transport supplies to the base area regularly. Li Daben was appointed by Zhou Weihan as the person in charge of the external affairs of the new second regiment.
The Eighth Route Army lacks many supplies, but weapons and equipment are by no means the most lacking. The most lacking thing is bullets. Even reloaded bullets cannot meet the daily needs of various departments of the Eighth Route Army.
Zhou Weihan's order to Li Daben was to obtain as many materials as possible and to have stable channels.
Living supplies: food, cloth, salt, military supplies: firearms, bullets, tung oil, anti-inflammatory drugs, anesthetics, medical alcohol, bandages, etc.
There are three main sources of daily necessities: First, local procurement. Stalls have been opened in Wuyi and Wu'an counties, and various shops can purchase them locally. In addition, the merchants and warehouses that cooperate with Xiaoguizi also have Japanese names.
Activities in several surrounding counties.
The second is the protection fees regularly paid by the landlords and puppet troops in Wu'an and Wuyi counties. Isamu Teuchi was promoted in disguise, and the territory of the New Second Regiment was also expanded in disguise.
The third is to trade with the Japs, of course this is a last resort measure.
"Regiment leader, political commissar, it's easy to talk about daily supplies. There are stable channels and they can be transported to the base area continuously. However, military supplies are strictly controlled by the devil. Small quantities can be traded with Terauchi Isamu, but large quantities are hard to talk about." Li
The boss said it truthfully.
"In this case, you go and set a time, and I want to meet with Isamu Terauchi in person." Zhou Weihan said.
"Old Zhou, isn't this too dangerous, little devil..." Zhao Gang said worriedly.
"Okay, that's it," Zhou Weihan said without any doubt.
"Why are you still hanging around? Why don't you go quickly?"
"Yes" Li Daben responded, turned around and left.
"Old Zhao, I have no choice. As long as the deal with Terauchi Isamu can be completed, this amount of supplies may be of little use to the entire Eighth Route Army, but in the 386th Brigade, it is already a lot." Zhou Weihan said truthfully.
Zhao Gang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Old Zhou, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, Isamu Terauchi is a money-minded guy. As long as he is well fed, he will be eager to resell more supplies," Zhou Weihan enlightened Zhao Gang.
Li Da's work efficiency is quite fast, otherwise Isamu Terauchi couldn't wait any longer. When this matter was mentioned, Isamu Terauchi agreed without hesitation.
Zhou Weihan, dressed in a long robe and a hat on his head, took Dong Jiang and others and set off for Wuyi County.
"Master Li, you are here again. You have come to the county quite frequently these days!" the new puppet squad leader said enthusiastically.
The two bald men who used to guard the city gate have been promoted to platoon commander, and now they no longer have to guard the gate in the wind and sun every day.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, brothers," Li Dajeng nodded and said.
"Oh, it's not hard. Mr. Li, please come and invite me. Who is this?"
"This is our chief shopkeeper. He has something important to discuss with Major Watanabe. What, is there a problem?"
"How dare you, please, Mr. Big Shopkeeper!"
This time, the two puppet soldiers at the door were not too troublesome. First, Li Dajian came often and fed them well. Everyone knew the relationship.
Second, Major Watanabe of the Military Police also gave instructions, saying that distinguished guests were coming today.
The two little devils did not dare to neglect and gave a military salute to Zhou Weihan and his party.
As a result, several big-shouldered and round-waisted men with obvious dicks on their waists walked into Wuyi County in a swaggering manner.
"Li Da's ability, you are very majestic. Be careful not to break the rules. I can tell you here. The political commissar can't get around you!" Zhou Weihan warned Li Da's ability.
"Captain, don't we have the support of our new second group? Besides, I usually only drink some wine and watch a show. I have never touched money or women." Li Da is capable of complaining.
road.
"There is no best."
The group of people entered Wuyi County and headed straight for Chuanxiang Tower. Dong Jiang and several others conducted investigations around Chuanxiang Tower, leaving two people to guard the surrounding areas.
"Captain, no problem, the warning point has been set up." Dong Jiang said.
"Then, Shopkeeper Zhou, please come in." Li Dazhen shouted as he entered the door: "Old Feng, have everything been arranged?"
"Oh, Mr. Li, you are here. The Japanese have arrived long ago." Lao Feng, the shopkeeper of Chuanxiang Tower, said.
"Let's go, don't keep people waiting." Zhou Weihan took the lead to go upstairs, followed closely by Li Daben and Dong Jiang.
At the door of the private room, Watanabe, dressed in casual clothes, had been waiting for a long time. Two plainclothes military policemen were guarding the door.
"Li Sang, you are here. The chief minister of the temple has been waiting for a long time." Watanabe said and opened the door.
"Dong Jiang, you guys stay outside the door. Li Da, you and I can go in." Zhou Weihan turned around and said.
In the room, the deer-headed and rat-eyed Isamu Terauchi was dressed like a wealthy landlord. His clothes were a little tight because of his fat body, which made people feel awkward.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm here in the temple, Yong. I've admired your name for a long time." Yong in the temple stood up and said.
Terauchi Yong's Chinese is not good. Watanabe on the side was about to translate when Zhou Weihan said: "Terauchi-san, you're welcome. Aren't we friends?"
"Jun Zhou, I didn't expect you to speak fluent Kyoto accent!" Terauchi Isamu said with a surprised look on his face.
"When I was studying in Peking, there was a teacher named Masamoto Ito, who taught me."
"Teacher Nani Ito is my teacher at Army University. He is very respected. I never expected that Mr. Zhou is his student. Unfortunately, he has been retired for a long time and his whereabouts are unknown. Otherwise, I would definitely invite him to come to Wuyi for a reunion."
"Terauchi-kun, how about this toast to our teacher?" Zhou Weihan said as he picked up the wine glass.
Ito Masamoto is the son of Ito Hirobumi. He is very influential at Army University and is a fanatical supporter of this war.
Zhou Weihan, who was studying at Yanda University, always believed that if you want to defeat your opponent, you must understand your opponent from all aspects.
By chance, Zhou Weihan met Ito Masamoto, was highly appreciated by Ito Masamoto, and learned Japanese culture.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ito Masamoto had a ulterior motive to train Zhou Weihan to be a little Japanese spy. After the incident was exposed, Zhou Weihan simply killed people and buried their bodies, taking away his belongings. Ito Masamoto became the executioner.
Disappear from the world.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for helping me at Liubao stronghold this time. Thank you very much." After knowing the relationship behind Zhou Weihan, Temple Yong lowered his posture and bowed.
"Terauchi-kun, there will be many opportunities in the future. Let's make a fortune together."
"Hey, you can make a lot of money," Teruchi Yong rubbed his fingers and said obscenely.
"I came to you this time to purchase a batch of military supplies."
"Mr. Zhou, you can say whatever you want, as long as the price is right." Isamu Terauchi changed his previous statement to Li Da that military supplies were difficult to obtain.
"The first is bullets, medicines and related equipment, followed by tung oil, and parts for various firearms. Of course, you can also sell the weapons directly, and the price is easy to negotiate," Zhou Weihan said.
"Mr. Zhou, in terms of weapons supplies, the military department will have supplies on a regular basis. I can save this money and trade with you. Of course, it is easier to supply weapons and ammunition for the puppet army. There are many in the warehouse."
"Temple Commander, Mr. Zhou, as long as there are a few more battles like this at Liubao Stronghold, the supplies will be huge," said Watanabe on the side.
"Yo Xi, Watanabe, your idea is great. Mr. Zhou, it seems that we will have to hold more exercises in the future," Terauchi Isamu said with a smile.
"We are willing to cooperate."
"Of course, if Mr. Terauchi can get a production line for 7.92mm bullets, I am willing to pay a lot of money to buy it."

Does anyone know about various firearms and the appropriate prices for bullets?
