The three electronic watches were all seized from officers of the Matsumoto Division and the Suzuki Battalion. There is a huge difference in treatment between Japanese officers and soldiers. Now that the Japanese economy is in a state of total collapse, in order to maintain the stability of the troops, the Tokyo Base Camp can only Relying more on the role of officers, on the one hand, the treatment of soldiers has dropped significantly; on the other hand, the treatment of officers has increased, which naturally makes the existing gap between officers and soldiers increasingly difficult to cover up. Compared with other armies of the Kwantung Army, the soldiers may only dare to be angry but dare not speak out, or even dare to be angry openly. However, for Fujita and other Japanese deserters, they were easily defeated one after another, killing their former allies and even comrades-in-arms. , had caused them to no longer have the awe of their former officers, so when quite a lot of property was found on several officers, they all cursed them, calling them worms in the imperial army and vampires in the soldiers. Because of their existence, the Imperial Japanese Army was getting worse day by day.
Zhang Xuyun saw these scenes and heard them. In addition, the Japanese deserters who had seized "valuable materials" behaved well and did not hide their seizures. Therefore, he decided to use the emotions of these Japanese deserters to Add a little more "affinity" to your home.
Zhang Xuyun's decision was indeed warmly welcomed by the Japanese deserters. You know, the most common electronic watch produced by Xuebing Army was sold to the Kwantung Army on the black market for 50 yuan, which was worth what the Japanese deserters could get. They received two years of military pay, so we can deduce the temptation of these electronic watches to them.
There are rewards and punishments, and they can kill ruthlessly at critical moments. The most important thing is that they can always win the battle. Gradually, the Japanese deserters no longer regard Zhang Xuyun and Mu Haoren as "despicable Chinese people". In their minds, I am truly lucky to be able to follow such a senior officer.
"Next, we go to Changchun. We are going to turn Changchun upside down and let the noble men know that our top soldiers cannot be insulted lightly. It is their biggest mistake to fail to take you seriously." Strike while the iron is hot and kill the two. After the Japanese deserter with the most enemies and the Japanese deserter who played an important role in the Battle of Ganmuling each received an electronic watch, Zhang Xuyun said this to the Japanese deserters.
"Hai, we listen to General Zhang in everything."
"Then let's go and turn Changchun upside down."
...Infected by Zhang Xuyun's strong self-confidence, the Japanese deserters seemed to have forgotten that there were nearly 200,000 enemies in Changchun, and they also forgot that they were still the wanted targets of the Kwantung Army. They all acted very excited, as if they couldn't wait to immediately It's like rushing to Changchun to do something big.
Of course, not all Japanese deserters behaved so impulsively. Fujita, for example, remained calm enough.
"If this continues, the Chinese will sell them, and I guess they will happily help them count the money." Looking at the Japanese deserters who were in awe of Zhang Xuyun and Mu Haoren before, and even feared and hated them, they surrounded them. Next to Zhang Xuyun and Mu Haoren, with proud expressions on their faces, Fujita knew that he had lost control and even influence over the independent detachment. He was deeply worried about the future of this army and himself, with a look of little devil on his face. A look of loss.
The little devil's unusual behavior attracted Mu Haoren's attention. He must have guessed his psychological activities. Mu Haoren came over and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Fujita-kun, there is nothing to worry about. Our leader is fishing in troubled waters." The bigger the pond, the more fish there are, and the better it is to fish in troubled waters, you know what I mean."
Fujita heard something in his heart and asked, "Sir, you mean that we really have an internal response in Changchun."
"Of course, not only do we have internal responses, but if you handle it well, you also have internal responses."
"Sir, I don't understand what you mean."
"You are the first to eat crabs in the Kwantung Army, but are you the only one in the Kwantung Army who want to eat crabs?" Zhang Xuyun and Mu Haoren's observation skills are very keen, and they only confiscated the belongings of Matsumoto and Suzuki brigade officers from the Japanese deserters. After listening to the conversation at that time, they thought that conflicts between soldiers and officers in the Japanese army should be very common. From this, they came up with a bolder idea, that is, whether they could further develop the Kwantung Army near Changchun. One or even multiple independent detachments.
Fujita is actually a smart man, but the meaning of the phrase "the first to eat crabs" is too Chinese, but it is not something that he who only speaks Chinese can understand.
"Crab."
Mu Haoren did not explain further. His apparent kindness to the Japanese deserters did not mean that he really cared about them. He smiled noncommittally and said, "Just follow the arrangements from the head. You should be able to tell. We are different from your original commanders, and we will not harm our soldiers no matter what."
In the Kuancheng Barracks in the northern suburbs of Changchun, Xue Degui was sitting at his desk, staring blankly at an order in his hand.
The order came from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, which required all puppet Manchukuo National Defense Forces to stay in their own camps or defense areas during this period, and were strictly prohibited from going out and communicating with each other. "It should be related to the desertion incident, Ku Ye, so I Why go out and meet the people from the Xuebing Army? Grandma, seeing that the little devil is about to perish, the stakes are huge anyway, one day earlier or one day later..." He was frowning and thinking in his heart, when suddenly there was a sound from outside. A report sounded.
Xue Degui quickly calmed down and shouted outside: "Come in."
The person who came in was his deputy chief of staff, Chang Yu. Seeing that it was him, Xue Degui no longer concealed his feelings and stood up and said: "Chang Yu, you came just in time. Now the Kwantung Army Headquarters does not allow us to leave the camp. How can your people Come in?"
Gu Changyu's true identity is a senior agent of the CIA, and he has been lurking in the Thirteenth Army of the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force for more than two years.
"Military, I'm here just for this matter. I just received the secret message and the situation has changed."
Xue Degui was startled and asked: "Why, the special envoy can't come."
Gu Changyu lamented in his heart that Zhang Xuyun was too trouble-making, and said calmly: "No, no, military commander, please listen to me..."
"Ah, this special envoy is amazing. But this way, it will be more difficult for him to enter Changchun City. As far as I know, the Kwantung Army is now fully pursuing this deserter. It would be too big a target for him to mix with the deserters. .”
"You don't need to worry about this. According to what he said in the telegram, he will have a way to get in."
"That's good. I hope the matter can be confirmed as soon as possible."
