"Oh? What kind of deal?"

Hearing Wang Shugen say that there was a big deal, Wang Chengzhu immediately became interested and immediately pulled Wang Shugen to a farther position to ensure that their conversation would not be heard by others.

Wang Shugen: "According to my reconnaissance in the past few days, I learned that a puppet army company in Shilipo Town is preparing to abandon the secrets and join the light, but it has not yet found its next home."

"Don't our artillery platoons want to grow and develop? This is a good opportunity for us to incorporate them, and it is much easier than attacking the Japanese strongholds."

Generally, when the Eighth Route Army needs to develop, its usual options are to attack Japanese strongholds or to ambush small groups of Japanese soldiers who go to the countryside to raid. Only in this way can weapons be obtained.

Otherwise, no matter how many soldiers there are, it will be useless without weapons.

And a business like this that can get both soldiers and weapons is naturally the best choice.

Wang Chengzhu was very moved.

However, Shilipo Town is located in an enemy-occupied area and the situation is complicated, so a long-term plan must be considered.

"Is the news true? Could it be a trap set by the Japanese just to make us fall into a trap?"

Wang Chengzhu asked his most worrying question. Since Wang Shugen could easily find out this information, does that mean that this information is no longer a secret? Even if it is not a trap set by the Japanese, will the Japanese know that these puppet soldiers want to rebel?

Wang Shugen said: "There should be no problem with the information. The deputy company commander of this puppet army company is my cousin, and it was he who told me this information."

"If that's the case, it's not a big problem."

Wang Chengzhu nodded. Since it is a business, there are risks. As long as the benefits are proportional to the risks, you can give it a try.

Immediately, Wang Chengzhu asked again: "How is the situation in Shilipo Town? Have you figured out everything?"

Wang Shugen: "This puppet company and a Japanese squad are stationed in Shilipo Town. Apart from this, the closest one is the puppet cavalry camp stationed in Wanjia Town."

"Wanjia Town and Shilipo Town are 50 miles apart. If the puppet cavalry wants to march for support, it will take at least an hour."

"The puppet cavalry that was chasing Commander Ding at that time were from the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion."

"Also, the Japanese who came to Wangjia Village to raid the village a few days ago came from Shilipo Town.

However, according to my investigation, I learned that this group of Japanese soldiers were probably sent out secretly. Not only did the Japanese squad leader not know about it, but my cousin Liu Qiang also didn’t know about it.

It is not a secret that Japanese soldiers secretly go to the countryside to carry out raids, and they often happen. Therefore, this matter has not yet attracted the attention of the Shilipo Japanese squad."

In just a few days, Wang Shugen has collected so much information, and he is worthy of being the ace scout of the new regiment.

Wang Chengzhu also became more and more convinced of his ability.

As for the troops and horses in Wanjia Town, Wang Chengzhu had already set his sights on them, but he just didn't have time to get them. No, to be precise, he didn't have enough strength to eat them.

At the moment, it is undoubtedly the best choice to recruit this puppet army that wants to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. It will also pave the way for the capture of the Wanjia Town army.

Otherwise, once the Japanese are aware of it, it will be too late.

Wang Chengzhu: "Listen to what you said, if we want to recruit this puppet army, the biggest trouble will be this Japanese squad!"

Wang Shugen: "With my cousin as the internal coordinator, as long as our actions are secretive enough, we may not alert the nearby Japanese and puppet troops."

"How about leaving this task to me?"

Wang Shugen took the initiative to ask for a job, but was rejected by Wang Chengzhu with his hand raised: "No, right now we are just a platoon. In terms of organizational units, our desire to recruit this puppet company is similar to She Tunxiang.

If I send you there, I'm afraid the other party may not accept it."

Wang Shugen: "What do you mean, company commander?"

Wang Chengzhu: “To show my sincerity, I decided to take action myself.”

Wang Shugen: “Isn’t it too risky?”

Wang Chengzhu: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?"

Having made up his mind, Wang Chengzhu and his men set off from Wangjiacun at dawn the next day.

Wangjia Village is about 60 miles away from Shilipo Town. If you march on foot, it will take about 3 hours. If you ride a horse, the time can be shortened by half.

Let’s do some popular science here. Many people think that the speed of cavalry is several times that of infantry. In fact, there is a big misunderstanding.

Take the two pure sweat-blooded BMWs and the two pure Arabian horses as examples. One person and one horse can run continuously for up to 30 kilometers at a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour, but they usually only last about 20 minutes.

Therefore, generally speaking, cavalry can travel up to 30 kilometers in one hour.

A normal march would only take about 20 kilometers in one hour.

The book returns to its true story.

This time Wang Chengzhu brought a total of 8 people, disguised as traders, and rode to Shilipo Town.

Among these 8 people, only 5 are veterans of the new regiment.

Veterans Xizi and Xiaoshan were injured in the previous battle, and Second Platoon Nagata Shuisheng needed to stay behind for training, so Wang Chengzhu selected three other recruits with better training results to go with them.

In addition to the two veterans who Wang Shugen stayed in Shilipo Town, there were a total of 11 people on this trip.

The purpose of this trip is to recruit the puppet troops in Shilipo Town, not to fight, so there is no need to bring too many people. If there are too many people, they will be easily targeted, thus exposing the target.

On the other hand, if this puppet army had no intention of rebelling, even if Wang Chengzhu brought all the soldiers from the artillery platoon, it would not be a match for a puppet army company and a Japanese squad.

…

Shilipo Town.

Japanese and puppet troops have been stationed here for a long time.

The Japanese army is a small country with limited military strength. As the front line in China lengthens and the area occupied becomes larger, this shortcoming becomes more obvious.

In order to control these occupied areas, the Japanese had to bribe traitors and form the Imperial Association Army.

Generally speaking, the Japanese would only station troops in some larger towns and some important transportation fortresses.

On weekdays, if you want to go to the countryside to sweep up, or carry out rural clearing operations, you start from the town in the city where you are stationed.

This puppet company stationed in Shilipo Town is organized into the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company of the 1st Regiment of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, and belongs to the same brigade as the cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town.

Company headquarters.

Company commander Xu Hailang was discussing the uprising with deputy company commander Liu Qiang.

Xu Hailang: "Old Liu, have you got the list of internal traitors?"

It is impossible for the Japanese to trust the Chinese. Recruiting the Imperial Alliance Army is just taking advantage of them.

Therefore, the Japs' intelligence organization had spies inside almost every Imperial Army unit. Some were Japs agents, while others were spies who paid huge sums of money to bribe them.

Therefore, if an Imperial Army unit wants to succeed in the uprising, it must first deal with these people.

Liu Qiang: "We've got it all done. We've found out all the Japs' spies lurking inside us, as well as those who are determined to be traitors."

Xu Hailang nodded: "Okay, in that case, let's find a suitable opportunity and rebel against him. This Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror and sees that he is not a human being inside and out. I have already had enough!"

"That's right, if the commander hadn't been weak, we would have never been traitors even if we tried our best!" Liu Qiang also nodded, and then asked: "But I don't know, company commander, have you thought about what happened after our uprising?"

,Which camp do you want to join?"
