Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Afterwards, scouts from other counties also reported the news, which basically showed that the Japanese had not moved.

This also put Lu Changgong's mind at ease. It seemed that this group of Japanese devils really did not play any tricks.

Of course, even if the Japanese played tricks, Lu Changgong would not be afraid, after all, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company were here.

Even if the Japanese gathered a regiment of soldiers, Lu Changgong could easily lead the reconnaissance company to kill them, and even inflict heavy casualties on the Japanese side. After all, their reconnaissance company was the ceiling of the special operations battalion's combat power.

"Call several platoon leaders to the meeting. We need to make preparations for the transaction and ensure its safety." Lu Changgong gave the order.

Although the Japanese in other counties are not making any moves now, what if the Japanese who come to Yin County think that they can deal with them with the troops of only one county?

It would be bad if the Japanese wanted to attack them at that time, so they had to make good arrangements to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

Soon, several platoon leaders and deputy platoon leaders came over.

"Company Commander." They greeted him one after another.

"Please sit down." Lu Changgong gestured for everyone to sit down.

"Tomorrow is the trading time, so we have to make preparations in advance. Platoon leader, you will lead a platoon of soldiers to ambush in the northwest direction of the slope." Lu Changgong looked at the young man next to him.

"Yes."

"Second platoon leader, take a platoon of soldiers and ambush in the southwest direction. Third platoon leader, take a platoon of soldiers and ambush in the east direction." Lu Changgong issued orders one after another.

"Captain, what are you doing?!" a platoon leader asked curiously.

"Of course I am leading the team to receive the supplies. You all should keep an eye on them. If the Japanese want to shoot, do it immediately. Don't give them the chance.
Of course, we also need to see if the enemy wants to attack, and make sure we don’t hit the wrong target. If it’s a misunderstanding, our mission will be ruined.” Lu Changgong warned.

He was worried that the Japanese would not attack them, but instead they would beat them, which would ruin the battalion commander's plan.

"Understood! We will remind our soldiers to aim accurately." said a platoon leader, and the other two platoon leaders nodded.

"Captain, I think it's a bit dangerous for you to go and receive the supplies. Why don't you change someone?" The second platoon leader was a little worried. If the Japanese really wanted to take action, wouldn't Lu Changgong be in danger?

"Yes, Captain, I think you can let the deputy captain go." The third platoon leader also spoke up, and he agreed to the change.

Deputy company commander: “???”

"What nonsense are you talking about? With my skills, if the Japs dare to attack me, I can kill them. Besides, I also want to see what this group of Japs are like." Lu Changgong said. He had to see the officers of this group of Japs with his own eyes.

"This……"

"That's it, let's not talk about anything else." Lu Changgong interrupted them.

"Okay." Several people nodded.

.........

That evening, around seven o'clock.

Taro Tanigawa came to Oki Ichiro's office.

"Captain, the Imperial Army soldier is not in danger of death, he is just a little exhausted, it's not a big problem.

If we had eaten it, we wouldn't even be able to hold a gun, let alone fight a war!" Tanigawa Taro said this with a smile on his face.

"Wow, I didn't expect that the things they got are so useful." Oki Ichiro was also very happy.

Now they have enough reasons not to go to war. If they dare to go to war, they will let their superiors know what the spectacular sight of collective diarrhea looks like.

Although it is not very elegant, it is nothing compared to your life.

"Captain, tomorrow is the time for the transaction. Should we transfer the soldiers from other city gates to the west gate as a precaution?!" Taro Tanikawa suggested.

He was worried that the other party might attack them during the transaction, which would result in serious casualties.

"There's no need for that. There are enough soldiers at the west gate. Besides, this is in our occupied area. They don't have the courage to attack us." Oki Ichiro said with confidence.

The military camp on the other side of the West City Gate is guarded by at least a squadron of soldiers. Even if there are thousands of people, they can't take down the West City Gate.

"I'm not worried about ordinary troops. I'm just afraid that they are the troops that caused the empire to suffer great losses. The combat effectiveness of that troop is even stronger than that of the empire's soldiers." said Taro Tanikawa.

You know, the empire has lost tens of thousands of people at the hands of that army. Although they were not completely wiped out by the other side, they were all related to the other side.

"Hiss... It's a bit scary when you say that." Oki Ichiro took a deep breath and got goosebumps all over his body.

Even the division commander Inaya was crippled by this unit and could no longer command troops in battle.

"No, you're overthinking it. With the supplies seized by that unit, they still need to do business with us? It's impossible." Oki Ichiro reacted.

You have to know that the other side has seized a lot of supplies, and their number is not large. The seized supplies alone are enough for many people to live well. They will not be short of supplies at all, so how could they cooperate with them?

"It seems so. What if they did it on purpose?!" Taro Tanikawa changed the subject.

"That's even more impossible. With their fighting power, if they really want to attack us, we won't be able to stop them. And the noise will be so loud. If the higher-ups know about it,

They will definitely be annoyed, and we need to dispatch a large army to deal with them at all costs. Under such circumstances, the enemy will never attack us!" Oki Ichiro continued.

The higher-ups will not tolerate them being targeted again and again, so the enemy will never dare to attack the city again.

"It seems to be true. They always attack at night, usually by surprise. It seems that I have thought too much." Upon hearing this, Taro Tanigawa also felt that it made sense.

"Tanigawa-kun, you will continue to be the one to coordinate tomorrow's transaction. One hand will pay the money and the other hand will deliver the goods. Do you understand?" Oki Ichiro reminded him.

"Hi!" Taro Tanikawa nodded quickly.

.........

Tianli Mountains, base area.

Li Jin asked someone to call Liu Changshun to the room
"Battalion Commander, you're looking for me." Liu Changshun pushed open the door and walked in.

"Xiao Liu, take a company of soldiers to Laiyin County tomorrow and bring all the laxatives to Lu Changgong." Li Jin ordered.

He felt that there would be no accidents in tomorrow's transaction, so the laxative could be delivered to Lu Changgong and others in advance.

"Yes!" Liu Changshun nodded.

"Tell Lu Changgong that when the time comes to negotiate the price of the guns, no matter how much the Japanese offer, just cut it by 30%," Li Jin continued.

The guns sold by the Japs are all Hanyang and Zhongzheng models, and there is a high probability that they will not sell the Type 38 rifle, so the price of these guns has to be cut down, and he can't be a sucker.

"Okay, Company Commander, do you have anything else to tell me?!" Liu Changshun asked.

"No, go ahead." Li Jin waved his hand.

"Yes." Liu Changshun turned and left the room.

Li Jin came to the table and continued to draw machine tool drawings. In order to exchange these machine tool drawings, he spent almost all the points he earned.

However, it is all worth it. As long as the machine tools can be manufactured, their troops will no longer have to worry about guns. Their combat effectiveness will soar, and they may even be able to compete with the Japanese. ………

Around 2:30 in the afternoon of the next day.

Oki Ichiro had already arrived at the wall walkway of the west gate. For safety reasons, he wore a soldier's uniform to avoid any accidents. He did not want to be beaten to death.

"Captain, the transaction address is on that earthen slope, about one mile away from the city gate." Taro Tanikawa on the side pointed to the earthen slope not far away.

"Well, this location is neither far nor near." Oki Ichiro nodded.

The snow on the ground has begun to melt, and all you can see is a vast expanse of white.

Many people went into the city against the cold wind. They were wearing bulging clothes, but they were not cotton-padded clothes. Instead, they were a lot of thin clothes, which were not very effective in keeping out the cold.

The people's faces and ears turned red from the cold, and white mist came out when they breathed. If you didn't know, you would think they were smoking.

"Fortunately, we have cotton-padded clothes, otherwise we would really freeze to death in this weather." Oki Ichiro couldn't help but sigh. If the cotton-padded clothes could not be used to keep out the cold, he would have planned to sell them for money.

"No, our empire is better." Taro Tanigawa also agreed.

"I don't know when this war will end." Taro Tanigawa continued. He looked into the distance and wanted to go home. It has been two or three years since he came to China, and he has never been home.

"It's hard to say. Either we win or we lose. Otherwise, it will be impossible to go home." Oki Ichiro shook his head.

"Then, captain, do you think this war can be ended within a few years?!" asked Taro Tanikawa.

"It's possible, but also unlikely. I think these Chinese troops are unlikely to surrender. In this case, we will have to be dragged on.

A large amount of supplies need to be transported here, and the consumption is too great. If the battle cannot be ended in a short time, it will still be very difficult for the empire. "Oki Ichiro thought about it and made an analysis based on the actual situation.

In order to end this battle, unless China surrenders, the battle must continue. However, the longer the war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the empire.

"If you look at it this way, the probability of us losing is very high?!" said Taro Tanigawa. He remembered a book he had read called On Protracted War, which many officers had read at the time.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the empire. It is clearly stated above that as long as it keeps dragging on, the empire will collapse first after a long time.

"Well, but it has nothing to do with us. If the empire wins, we can make money. If the empire loses, we can still make money." Oki Ichiro couldn't help but smile when he said this.

What does war have to do with their Osaka Division? For them, making money is the most important thing, and nothing else matters.

As for the empire, what does it have to do with them!

"The captain is right." Upon hearing this, Taro Tanigawa also laughed. Yes, they can stay out of the matter whether the empire wins or loses. Except for not being able to go home, they have already made a lot of money.

If the empire loses one day and they can go home, they can even set off fireworks to celebrate being able to go home.

"It's almost time, let the soldiers take the supplies out." Oki Ichiro glanced at his watch, it was already two fifty.

"Yes, Captain, I'll leave first." Taro Tanikawa also turned and left.

Soon, military trucks loaded with goods came out of the city gate and arrived in front of the slope.

.........

On the other side, Lu Changgong and others were also making preparations.

"The first row is already in place."

"The second row is in place!"

"Three rows..."

The voices of several platoon leaders came over the walkie-talkie, and their soldiers were already in ambush.

"Keep a close eye on him." Lu Changgong warned.

"clear."

Lu Changgong glanced at his watch, turned around and looked at the twenty or so soldiers and a dozen ox carts and donkey carts.

"Let's go." Lu Changgong ordered.

The soldiers drove the cattle and donkeys out of the woods, onto the main road, and headed towards the county town.

"Captain, if there is danger later, don't be too reckless." Ge Xiaoer followed Lu Changgong, and he was a little worried that something might happen to Lu Changgong.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool. Just take care of yourself." Lu Changgong responded.

"Yes."

Ten minutes later, they were less than two hundred meters away from the slope.

From a distance, you can see several Japanese military vehicles parked there. There are not many Japanese nearby, only a dozen or twenty people.

Soon, they arrived at the slope.

"Taijun Tanigawa, we are here." Ge Xiaoer was the first to step forward and greet.

"Well, it's quite punctual." Taro Tanigawa nodded and his eyes fell on Lu Changgong.

The other person's figure is so oppressive, his eyes are like lightning, and his aura is so imposing that people can't help but feel a little scared that there is actually such a tall person.

Lu Changgong was also looking at Tanigawa Taro. There was nothing special about him. His height was probably less than 1.6 meters, the same as other Japanese devils.

He felt that even twenty of these devils would not be his match.

"Taijun Tanigawa, let me introduce you to our boss. His surname is Lu." Ge Xiaoer introduced Lu Changgong.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure to work with you." Taro Tanigawa stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, wanting to shake hands with Lu Changgong.

"Hello." Lu Changgong looked at Taro Tanigawa's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then shook it, but he let go quickly after just a shake.

"I wonder if Lu Sang has brought the money?!" asked Taro Tanigawa. He could also feel that the other party didn't seem to like him very much, or rather, didn't like their people.

Lu Changgong turned his head and looked at the first ox cart. The soldier driving the cart quickly came over carrying a box and placed it on the ground between the two of them.

"The balance of three thousand five hundred dollars is all here. However, I need to inspect the goods." Lu Changgong said slowly.

"Of course, you let someone inspect the goods first, and then we can do the transaction." Taro Tanikawa said with a smile.

Lu Changgong glanced at Ge Xiaoer, who quickly understood and quickly brought people into the car and began to check things to make sure there were so many goods.

After waiting for a few minutes, Ge Xiaoer and the others got off the bus.

"Boss, there's no problem with the goods on the upper level. The goods at the bottom need to be moved down." Ge Xiaoer came to Lu Changgong to report.
