Chapter 582: Picking up an artillery regiment for nothing
End of August.
Zhou Weihan's idea of trying to control all three sides within the Japanese army came to nothing. Zhou Weihan didn't mind whether the Japanese army scolded him for being shameless, but he was a little worried about the weapons and equipment that he had not yet obtained.
After that, the Japanese troops in Tunliu, Anyang, and Xinxiang once again sent representatives to the Eighth Route Army base area, and they righteously rejected the unreasonable demands made by Zhou Weihan.
It is still the third battalion camp of the 281st Regiment.
This meeting was a rare meeting between the Japanese military representatives from the three places, and it was still Dong Jiang who met them.
Inside the house, three traitors sat side by side opposite Dong Jiang at a simple table.
"Company Commander Dong, this is my fourth time coming to Pingshun. It's time to give me some definite news!" said the traitor in Tunliu.
"Yes, Company Commander Dong, otherwise we won't be able to go back and explain to the Japanese. You Eighth Route Army are too unreasonable!" The traitor from Anyang who spoke, and the traitor from Xinxiang beside him also nodded frequently.
Since Zhou Weihan's plan was discovered by the Japanese army, the traitors from these three families have become familiar with each other and are now in the same camp.
Facing the three people's joint questions, Dong Jiang smiled and didn't take it seriously, but said: "Yes, this matter was handled by our Eighth Route Army, and I am here to make amends for you!"
Seeing Dong Jiang being so humble, the three traitors looked at each other, wondering what Dong Jiang was up to.
Dong Jiang continued: "But you three also know that there are only eighteen heavy artillery pieces in total. Which one should I give it to? Logically speaking, your camp is the first to contact our Eighth Route Army, so it should be given to you!"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the traitor in Tunliu was suddenly filled with smiles, and he glared fiercely at the two colleagues next to him: "What Company Commander Dong said makes sense!"
On the other hand, in Anyang and Xinxiang, the traitor heart is hanging in the throat.
"But Tuenliu is too far away from Pingshun. It's hard for the heavy artillery to faint. We had to waste all our efforts at the beginning. It took eight horses to drag each cannon back. It was too troublesome!"
"Yes, yes, Company Commander Dong is right. We Anyang can send a tractor to Pingshun to tow the artillery back without your army having to go through a lot of trouble!"
"We can do the same in Xinxiang. I've seen it along the way. The road from Pingshun to Xinxiang is easy to walk. Besides, from Pingshun to Tunliu, we have to pass through the national army's defense area. There might be trouble!"
Seeing that the three traitors who were in the same camp just now were defeated, Dong Jiang's eyes flashed with a smile.
"Okay, you go back and tell the little devils, there is an old saying in China, a bowl of water has to be leveled, because the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, it is not allowed to be biased. If these 18 heavy cannons are given to one family, even if you can follow the instructions
If you ask for weapons and equipment, it will definitely break your muscles and bones!"
"Since you are all sincere, then simply divide these 18 heavy artillery pieces into three, and the three of you will work together to replace the heavy artillery pieces. Our Eighth Route Army will benefit from this. You three can go back to deliver the mission, and the little devil may also give an explanation to the superiors.
Wouldn't everyone be happy?" Dong Jiang said with a smile.
"Company Commander Dong's words make sense, but what's the price?"
"That's easy to say!" Dong Jiang took out a piece of paper from his pocket, then unfolded it and read: "24 mountain cannons, 24 Type 92 infantry guns, 36 heavy machine guns, 60 Type 96 light machine guns, 38
1,500 large guns, 3,000 rounds each of mountain artillery and Type 92 infantry artillery shells, 80,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, 100,000 rounds of light machine gun bullets, and 150,000 rounds of 6.5mm bullets!"
"Three of you, this condition is not too much. Although it looks like there are more than last time, you three families paid for them together, so you won't get much!" Dong Jiang said with a smile.
"Not too much, not too much!" said the traitor from Xinxiang. He knew that the Thirty-fifth Division was rich and powerful. The little devil also told him before coming here that he must complete the task no matter what. At least it should not be worse than the other two factions.
.
"Okay, it's settled!" Dong Jiang happily patted the table.
"Where is the transaction place? There is still time."
"Of course it's going smoothly. As for the time, after three days, it will be rich enough. You three also know that our Eighth Route Army wants to move this heavy artillery because it is too troublesome to move, so you still need to send people to transport it.
Someone will pick you up in advance!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Seeing that the task was about to be completed, the three traitors couldn't close their mouths at this moment.
After the three traitors left, Dong Jiang spat: "Bah, you deserve it, you want to eat shit!"
Then Dong Jiang rushed directly to the headquarters in the city to report.
In the headquarters, after hearing Dong Jiang report the results of the negotiations, Zhou Weihan applauded repeatedly.
"Okay, this is equivalent to picking up an artillery regiment for nothing!" Zhou Weihan laughed loudly, and then looked at Xing Zhiguo standing aside: "Old Xing, how are Xu Dali's preparations going?"
"It's almost there. I just went to see it this morning. The carpenters Xu Dali hired are busy. The cannon is of the right size and the right color. As long as you don't observe it from a close distance, it looks just like the real thing. Little devil
You can't tell anything," Xing Zhiguo replied.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll write to Terauchi Isamu!" Zhou Weihan finally said.
After the Japanese army in the three places saw through Zhou Weihan's plan, Zhou Weihan thought over and over again and thought that it would be okay to get benefits from the Japs. However, afterwards, the Japanese army would intensify their efforts to send spies to the base area, making it impossible to guard against it.
Just in time, Isamu Terauchi called Zhou Weihan, complaining on the phone that Zhou Weihan didn't care about friendship, and that such a good thing actually left his good friend Isamu Terauchi behind.
Seeing that Temple Yong was so active and came to visit him, Zhou Weihan came up with a plan and immediately said that there was still a big achievement waiting for him.
When Zhou Weihan revealed his plan, Terauchi Yong on the other end of the phone applauded him repeatedly, and the two hit it off immediately.
The words are divided into two parts.
After the three traitors went back to do business, the commanders of the Japanese armies in the three places contacted each other and knew that the deal was a good one and they also reached a consensus.
"You did a good job in completing the mission, and you deserve a lot of credit!" Tsutsuzaburo Kawada said with satisfaction to the traitor who nodded and bowed in front of him.

"They all rely on the reputation of the Imperial Army, and it is duty-bound to serve the Imperial Army!" the traitor said flatteringly.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Eighth Route Army has always been cunning. Zhou Weihan is not honest at all. I am afraid he will not let the imperial army replace the heavy artillery as required. We must be careful!" the chief of staff on the side reminded.
"Of course, we have to be very cautious when it comes to the Eighth Route Army. On the day of the transaction, the Imperial Army will dispatch planes to conduct reconnaissance in the sky. If the Eighth Route Army does not make the transaction as agreed, then..." Kawada Tsuchizaburo had a sinister smile on his face.

Zhou Weihan is notorious within the Japanese army. Except for the Japanese troops stationed in the camp who did not suffer heavy losses at the hands of Zhou Weihan, the Japanese troops of the 35th Division and the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade suffered successive losses.
