Just as Yang Jing opened a base in Laibang Township, northwest of Yuexi, and built an arsenal, and the progress was in full swing.

A Japanese agent, accompanied by a puppet army officer, disguised himself as he entered Yuexi County and joined Wu Botao and his adjutant.

In order to cover up, he escaped the surveillance of the Military Commission and the Central Commission for Discipline.

Wu Botao and his adjutant made the meeting place between the two sides in an inconspicuous small restaurant in the city on the grounds of having dinner.

After meeting, Wu Botao's adjutant and the puppet army officer made cover on the street outside.

Wu Botao was hiding in the private room of the restaurant with the Japanese agent who was disguised and quietly began to talk about conditions under the name of eating.

After some bargaining, the Japanese finally exchanged for Wu Botao's rebellion and surrender for 100,000 silver dollars and a division commander.

At that time, Wang Jingwei, a big traitor, had already had sex with the Japanese and was planning to establish a pseudo-National Government.

Therefore, the division commander that the Japanese promised to Wu Botao was not a blank check, but planned to incorporate them into the puppet national revolutionary army led by the Wang puppet regime.

In order to show sincerity, the Japanese agent wearing a pair of round-frame glasses paid Wu Botao 50,000 silver dollars in advance.

It was also agreed to pay another 50,000 silver dollars after the matter was completed.

After arguing with Wu Botao for a time to turn against him, the Japanese agent slowly took out a bank note worth 50,000 silver dollars from his pocket, took it in front of Wu Botao, and said with a smile: "Wu Sang, this is 50,000 silver dollars, please check it out."

Wu Botao picked up the bank note and looked at it. After confirming the authenticity, a chrysanthemum-like smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Master Yamamoto, you are so polite. Since that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obey!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to stuff the promissory note into his pocket, as if he was afraid that the Japanese agent opposite would snatch it back.

The Japanese agent picked up the wine glasses on his face and said, "Wu Sang, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Wu Botao also picked up the wine glass: "Happy cooperation!"

After a few simple polite words, Wu Botao got up and left the restaurant and returned to his command center with his adjutant.

He is now appointed as the major general brigade commander of the Yuexi Anti-Japanese and National Rescue Army, responsible for governing all the regular army and guerrillas in the entire Yuexi region.

However, this major general and brigade commander seem to have a lot of power, but in fact they don’t have much money.

After all, Yuexi is a mountainous area, with poor resources and not a large population.

It is completely incomparable to the wealthy Jiangnan region.

Most importantly, Wu Botao also felt that he was born into a miscellaneous brand, not the Huangpu Group, and it was almost difficult to compete for the generals of the Central Army, and like them, he was promoted like a plane.

Major General Brigade Commander, maybe it's over.

In addition to the retreat of the National Army, he saw no hope.

Therefore, as soon as the Japanese came to him, they promised to betray him with high officials, and this guy chose to betray him without hesitation.

Not long after Wu Botao returned to the command center, an officer under his command of reconnaissance intelligence rushed over and ran into the command center compound.

Then he immediately turned over and got off the horse, entered the command center and found him, and couldn't wait to salute and report: "When the brigade came to the Bang Township area, a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces of unknown origin suddenly appeared!"

"What?" Wu Botao, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, fantasizing about his wealthy life after rebellion, and a bright future, was shocked when he heard this, and a mouthful of tea was sprayed out directly.

The person who sprayed him all looked all over.

"Bang!"

Wu Botao put the teacup on the table next to him, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly: "What did you say?"

"I came to Bang Township to find an anti-Japanese armed force, with less than 2,000 troops. Their movements, purpose, and identity are unknown!" The reconnaissance reported in detail again.

Wu Botao looked alert and bit his back teeth and asked, "Where did they pop up from 2,000 anti-Japanese armed forces?"

The scout said: "This humble position is not very clear, but from the map, they are likely to come from Huoshan or Yingshan."

"Huoshan or Yingshan?" Wu Botao fell into deep thought.

The adjutant on the side said, "Can you be the New Fourth Army of the Communist Party? It seems that they are the only ones in this area except us."

"Well, this possibility is not ruled out."

Thinking that it might be the New Fourth Army, Wu Botao felt a little relieved, but he still said to the reconnaissance with some suspicion and concern: "Is there any abnormality in other directions?"

The scout replied nervously: "This is not clear yet."

Wu Botao rebuked angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Send someone to reconnaissance!"

"Yes! Travel!" The scout quickly responded, turned around and ran out in panic.

…………

Originally, the news that Wu Botao thought he was going to treason and surrender to the enemy was leaked, and more than 2,000 National Governments were dispatched to encircle and suppress him. After all, he was still very clear about the strength of the Military Control Commission and the Central Commission.

It was not until he sent someone to reconnaissance and found that there was no abnormality in other directions except for Bangxiang that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the sudden appearance of Yang Jing and the Hu Ben Group still made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was stuck in his throat.

After all, I did something wrong and was afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

After thinking about it, Wu Botao decided to inform the Japanese of this abnormal situation and ask the Japanese army for assistance.

Therefore, the Japanese army and Wu Botao's troops all sent out spies to conduct in-depth reconnaissance on Laibang Township in case of accidents.

At that time, after Yang Jing led his troops to open a base in Laibangxiang Mountain Area, he was also paying attention to the situation of the troops stationed in the county town.

However, Wu Botao's troops were originally friendly troops, and there were no other abnormal movements, so Yang Jing continued to train the troops safely.

After all, as long as they don’t come to cause trouble for themselves and do not rebel and surrender to the enemy, Yang Jing will not take the initiative to get into evil with them.

Even if the other party has trouble, he will send troops to rescue the siege when necessary.

On this day, Chen Shuisheng followed Yang Jing's order and continued to go forward for reconnaissance.

Unexpectedly, before he could get out of the border, he met two suspicious men on the way.

Chen Shuisheng immediately said to the leader of the first platoon who was also wearing casual clothes and a short gun on his waist: "Planet leader, these two people are weird, take someone to stop them immediately and interrogate them carefully!"

"Yes!" The platoon leader of the first platoon of the reconnaissance company responded, immediately greeted a few plainclothes soldiers and were about to go up.

Unexpectedly, the two men were quite alert. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they immediately ran away.

Seeing this, Chen Shuisheng immediately pulled out his gun from his waist and shouted to the platoon leader: "They have problems, catch them! Don't let them run away!"

In fact, without Chen Shuisheng's instructions, the platoon leader had already followed him first.

The other soldiers followed closely and chased the two of them.
Chapter completed!
