Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Wait, who are you?!" Zhang Li chased after him.

Lu Changgong stopped and turned to look over. Just one glance, the oppressive feeling was so strong that Zhang Li couldn't help but take a step back and swallowed nervously.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!" Before Lu Changgong could speak, Ge Xiaoer responded first.

"My name is Lu Changgong!" After saying that, he turned around and left with Ge Xiaoer and Yu Dachun.

"Lu Changgong?!" Zhang Li murmured. He felt that he had heard this name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Old Zhang, these people are very skilled, they are not simple people, they can't be businessmen." Liang Qi also came out and spoke. He looked at the backs of Lu Changgong and the others as they left, his eyes full of fear.

"Well, these people should be soldiers. I don't know why they came into contact with the Japanese, but they should not be traitors." Zhang Li nodded and expressed his opinion.

"We don't know what's going on. Let's go back and report this." Liang Qi didn't want to stay here any longer and thought he should go back to the regiment headquarters.

Those people are most likely not traitors, otherwise, they would not be let off so easily.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party deliberately let them go in order to delay time. In short, no matter what the situation is, they should go back and report as soon as possible.

"Let's go." Zhang Li nodded in agreement!
.........

At this time, Ge Xiaoer was also a little confused.

"Boss, why did you tell the other party your name?!" Ge Xiaoer asked.

"These two people are most likely our own people. They are here most likely to investigate the situation of this group of devils, so it's okay to tell them." Lu Changgong explained.

It is unlikely that they were from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, so it could only be the Eighth Route Army, and the closest to them were the people from the 129th Regiment.

"Could it be an intelligence officer from the 129th Regiment?!" Yu Dachun also guessed.

"It's very likely." Lu Changgong responded. Although they had cooperated with the 129th Regiment, those intelligence personnel had not fought with them, so they did not know them.

Of course, they didn't know some of the intelligence personnel of the 129th Regiment, and some misunderstandings occurred today.

"They also came to see whether this group of Japanese devils would pose a threat to them," said Ge Xiaoer.

The 129th Regiment should have also received the news and sent people here just to confirm it. Unlike them, they directly made a deal with the Japanese. This is also the fastest way.

Once the Japanese want to take action, it will prove that these Japanese are not as the intelligence says, and they are just pretending.

"Well, it should be correct." Lu Changgong nodded, and then several people went to buy dozens of kilograms of bacon before leaving Laiyin County.

After meeting up with the soldiers, Lu Changgong also asked someone to send a telegram to Li Jin to report the transaction.

.........

In the base, in the communications room.

Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng were smoking leisurely here, occasionally looking through the camp's documents.

"The New Year is only half a month away. What do you think about the food?!" Xu Qingfeng said.

"Just keep it the same as before, and add a serving of dumplings." Li Jin replied. He actually didn't feel anything about the Chinese New Year.

Before the Japanese were driven out, the New Year was not really a New Year and there was no New Year atmosphere.

"Yeah." Xu Qingfeng nodded. Only when the Japanese were driven out could they celebrate the New Year in a real way.

"Battalion Commander, Captain Lu sent a telegram." The telegraph operator handed the translated telegram to Li Jin.

Xu Qingfeng also came over and they watched together.

"Could those two people be from the 129th Regiment? Should we send a telegram to ask them?" Xu Qingfeng said after reading it.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's talk about it later. Let's wait for Lu Changgong and the others to come back." Li Jin shook his head. It was not certain whether the two people who followed Lu Changgong were from the 129th Regiment.

"Okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"But this little Japanese guy really dares to ask for a high price. He starts with forty-five dollars." Xu Qingfeng continued.

The price of a new Hanyang rifle was estimated to be only thirty dollars, but the Japanese dared to ask for so much.

"When doing business, people basically quote a high price and then bargain. Lu Changgong bargained the price down to thirty-two dollars," Li Jin said with a smile.

If it were him, he would naturally quote a high price and then bargain to make more money.

.........

At around ten o'clock that evening, Liu Changshun and his team returned to their base in the Tianli Mountains.

When Li Jin learned that Liu Changshun had returned, he went out to greet him.

"Battalion Commander!" Liu Changshun saluted quickly.

"Well, move all the things to the warehouse and put them away." Li Jin took a look at the soldiers carrying large and small bags of supplies and gave orders.

"Yes." Liu Changshun nodded and immediately asked the soldiers to move the things towards the warehouse.

"Battalion Commander, I also taught Lu Changgong how to bargain, and I think it has been done." Liu Changshun said excitedly.

"Oh? How did you teach you?!" Li Jin became interested.

"I say, you should just cut more, let the Japanese add more, and then you can slowly add more..." Liu Changshun told the story.

"I didn't realize you're quite capable." Li Jin smiled after hearing this.

"That's right. It's very easy to get cheated if you don't bargain when buying things." Liu Changshun looked very experienced.

"Okay, take a good rest these two days." Li Jin didn't say anything more. Liu Changshun had run several times, so it was time for him to have a good rest.

"Battalion Commander, we should check the salt and sugar we bought from the Japanese. What if they are poisonous?!" Liu Changshun reminded.

"Don't worry, I will conduct random inspections and tests." Li Jin replied. Salt and sugar are quite important, especially sugar. This stuff is a military supply, both now and in the future.

White sugar has many functions. In addition to replenishing the body's energy, it can also be used as a bomb and applied to wounds. In short, it has many functions.

"That's good, Battalion Commander. I'll go back to the dormitory and rest first." After Liu Changshun said this, he walked towards his dormitory.

"I didn't expect the Japanese were so brave that they even dared to sell sugar." Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but admire them.

"They dare to sell guns, so what's sugar to them?" Li Jin said with a smile. At least it takes some effort to make sugar into a bomb for combat, but a gun can kill people as long as it has bullets.

"The devils from the Osaka Division are really a bunch of weirdos." Xu Qingfeng also laughed.

"Well, it's a pity that there are too few of these devils." Li Jin nodded. Among the devils that invaded China, only the Osaka Division was focused on doing business and making money.

As for the other devils, they were a bunch of brainwashed beasts who committed all kinds of atrocities including burning, killing, looting and so on.

Li Jin also asked the system whether there were any problems with the batch of salt and sugar that were shipped back, and the answer he got was that there were no problems.

This also made Li Jin breathe a sigh of relief. Since there was no problem, the Osaka Division should not pose any threat to them!
Of course, Li Jin was just going through the motions with the testing procedure, and he didn’t dare let the soldiers use it without doing some experiments. ………

When you arrive in Yin County, the north gate leads to the mountains which are five or six miles away.

The cooks of the reconnaissance company dug a smokeless stove and started cooking. They stir-fried the bacon that Lu Changgong bought.

After the group had a simple meal, Lu Changgong gave orders to several platoon leaders, asking them to lead their men to guard various positions and keep a close eye on the Japanese!

"Remember, when the deal is made tomorrow, the Japs will most likely bring a lot of people with them, but most of them will be left outside.

You just need to keep an eye on the group of devils outside. If they make any other moves, just attack and annihilate them!" Lu Changgong said with a murderous look on his face!
"Understood!" Several platoon leaders responded seriously.

"That's it, take a rest and get ready for tomorrow." Lu Changgong waved his hand and asked them to rest and get back in shape.

.........

The next day, around two o'clock in the afternoon, in Oki Ichiro's office.

"Tanigawa-kun, this transaction is different from the previous ones. You must be careful." Oki Ichiro warned with a serious face.

In fact, he was still a little worried. If the other party really wanted to attack, Tanigawa might die on the spot.

"Don't worry, Captain. If there really is a problem, I will lead my men to retreat!" Taro Tanikawa responded.

"I will send two squadrons of soldiers to go with you. This way, your safety will be guaranteed." Oki Ichiro said. He still valued Tanigawa Taro very much.

The main thing is that if Taro Tanikawa dies, the higher-ups will definitely send people to investigate, and by then, things might go wrong.

"Thank you, Captain. I will definitely live up to your high expectations." Taro Tanigawa was deeply moved after hearing this. He didn't expect the Captain to be so concerned about him. He really did not follow the wrong commander.

"Well, let's go!" Ooki Ichiro patted Tanigawa Taro on the shoulder.

"Hi!" Taro Tanigawa turned and left. He came to the playground, got on a military truck carrying guns and ammunition and led two squadrons of soldiers to set off.

"Lieutenant Colonel, you will lead people to trade soon. It may be dangerous. Why don't I go with you?" said a Japanese captain.

He felt it would be better to let him go, even if he died it wouldn't be a big deal.

"No, the transaction must be made by me. Otherwise, what if the other party thinks we are playing tricks and then refuses to trade? I can't let you go without making money even if my life is gone!" Taro Tanigawa looked righteous.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" The Japanese captain was very moved after hearing this.

"However, you must also pay attention to the situation outside. If gunshots are heard, you must bring people in for support as soon as possible. Do you understand?" Taro Tanikawa added.

If he could avoid death, he still didn't want to. After all, he had earned enough money, so how could he just die like this?

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel! As long as there is any situation, I will support you immediately and will never let you get hurt!" The Japanese captain promised solemnly.

"That's good." Taro Tanigawa felt a little relieved.

Soon, they stopped on the side of the road. The location of the transaction was so large that cars could not enter.

"Move all the things down." Taro Tanigawa got out of the car and ordered the soldiers to work.

At the same time, on a distant mountain, soldiers from the reconnaissance company were using binoculars to watch the situation on the road.

They picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Lu Changgong.

"Captain, the Japanese have arrived. Judging from their numbers, there are probably two squadrons, about 360 to 370 people."

"Well, keep watching. If there is anything else, contact me immediately."

"Yes, the Japanese are unloading the goods now..."

.........

At the foot of the mountain, Lu Changgong was waiting with more than twenty soldiers. In front of them were two large boxes, one filled with dollars and the other filled with laxatives.

"Company commander, you are right. The Japanese really sent quite a few people here." said the deputy company commander.

"Well, that's normal. I would do the same. After all, we don't have much trust in each other, so how can we not be cautious?" Lu Changgong nodded.

Especially when the transaction partner is likely to be an enemy, if you are not careful, you might even get your bones eaten.

After they waited for a few minutes, Taro Tanikawa finally brought people over.

There was a small group of Japanese soldiers in total, most of them were carrying long boxes filled with guns.

"Mr. Lu." Taro Tanigawa greeted Lu Changgong warmly when he saw him.

"Taijun Tanigawa." Lu Changgong also smiled.

"Mr. Lu, did you bring the money and laxatives?!" asked Taro Tanigawa. He looked at the two large boxes not far away, which were filled with money and laxatives!
"Fourteen thousand dollars, and fifty kilograms of laxatives, that should be worth two thousand dollars, right?!" Lu Changgong said slowly.

Fifty kilograms of laxatives can be used by many people several times.

"No problem!" Taro Tanikawa nodded.

As long as they sell this laxative, it will be worth more than two thousand dollars. The key is that they can not only sell it to their own soldiers, but also to other regiments. It is simply a great thing.

These things can make them a lot of money!

"Have you brought the guns and bullets?" Lu Changgong asked back, his eyes also falling on the boxes carried by the devils!

"Of course, you can open a few and check the guns." Taro Tanikawa said and winked at his soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers put the boxes on the ground and opened the lids.

Lu Changgong also asked the soldiers to check their guns.

"Mr. Lu, can I also calculate the amount of these dollars? Otherwise it will take too much time." Taro Tanikawa suggested.

"Okay." Lu Changgong did not refuse. He took Taro Tanigawa to the box containing the dollars and opened the lid.

Taro Tanigawa's eyes widened. This was the first time he saw so much money.

"Come and count quickly, don't waste time!" Taro Tanigawa called over several soldiers who were carrying empty boxes.

Seeing this, Lu Changgong also went to check the guns brought by the Japanese. After all, he had spent money to buy them. If he bought a broken one, it would be a big loss.

He took a Hanyang rifle and checked the loading condition of the gun and the wear of the rifling. He confirmed that the gun was usable and based on the degree of wear on the rifling, the effective range would not be less than two hundred meters.

It can be said that this can be considered a nearly new gun. These Japanese devils still have some morals and the goods they give us are not deceptive.

"Boss, there's nothing wrong with my gun. There's no rust on the gun and the wear on the rifling is very small." A soldier reported to Lu Changgong.

Other soldiers also reported back, and basically there was no problem with the guns!
