Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 436: Reorganizing the Loyal Rescue Army

Gong Shu and Yu Xiuning led the team to leave Shanghai and go to Hubei. Because of the transfer of personnel, Zhang Anping was worried that this would expose a flaw that could be exploited by the Japanese, so he stayed in charge of the action group for the next week.

As for the direct group, he was not too worried. After all, it was not the first or second time that Xu Tian was in charge of the overall situation. He believed that it would not be difficult for Xu Tian to take over the direct group.

But at this time Xu Tian didn't know that Zhang Anping, who trusted him so much, was actually already plotting against him.

As Zhang Kengkeng mentioned by Xu Zhongyi, Zhang Anping had revealed to Lao Dai through Bian Jike that there was an undercover Communist Party agent in the Shanghai area when he went to southern Jiangsu with Lao Dai before. From that time on, he had been planning to "expose" Xu Tian.

Of course, this requires a "fuse", and Zhang Anping is not yet ready to "reveal" Xu Tian's identity.

After staying in the action team for a week and letting them go through the personnel replacement phase, Zhang Anping packed his bags and prepared to leave Shanghai.

Because the document on the reorganization of the Zhongjiu Army had come down, after petitioning the captain, Lao Dai authorized Zhang Anping to reorganize the entire Zhongjiu Army and provide military combat training to the leaders of the military control areas, stations, and groups in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui.

At the same time, Xu Baichuan also received a transfer order, ordering him to go to a general officer class in Chongqing for short-term training.

Old Xu didn't expect that the big pie would fall on him first. He planned to have a drink with Zhang Anping before leaving, but Zhang Anping refused his invitation.

Old Xu didn't care either. He knew Zhang Anping's character. How could he attend such a banquet behind enemy lines?

He was not annoyed, and talked to Zhang Anping sincerely for a while. His words were full of gratitude to Zhang Anping. After all, after he recognized the reality, he regarded himself as a pendant on Zhang Anping's thigh. He didn't expect that this pendant would be the first to be given the rank of general.

He talked to Zhang Anping for a long time and from the bottom of his heart, and his words made clear his own position:

Brother, although I have become rich temporarily, we will be brothers who share life and death for the rest of our lives. No matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by your side.

The reason why Old Xu said this was because he discovered from Old Dai's actions that Old Dai intended to push Zhang Anping forward as the heir.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhang Anping was put in charge of the reorganization of the Zhongjiu Army, the training of station group leaders in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and the transfer of personnel from the Shanghai area to rebuild the three stations in the Northeast.

As Zhang Anping's brother and comrade-in-arms, Lao Xu naturally had no objection to this, so he expressed his attitude to Zhang Anping implicitly.

This is because he knew Zhang Anping's identity. If it were someone else, they would naturally not have such an association.

Zhang Anping did not make any promises in response to Lao Xu's statement. He just ended the topic with a sentence "We are brothers" and then sent Lao Xu away from Shanghai.

Thinking of Xu Baichuan's regret about not being able to work together in the future, Zhang Anping couldn't help but hold back his laughter. After he could no longer see Xu Baichuan, Zhang Anping muttered in his heart:
[Old Xu, Old Xu, we'll meet at the Loyal Rescue Army headquarters in a while, don't get too excited...]

Old Xu probably didn't expect that after completing his training as a general, he still couldn't escape the "fate" of being his own shield...

……

Zhejiang, Xiaofeng.

The headquarters of the Loyal Rescue Army.

This is the fourth day since Zhang Anping arrived at the headquarters.

Just yesterday, Zhang Anping sent off General Yu, who had been in charge of the Loyalty Rescue Army since the Battle of Shanghai, and began his career in charge of the Loyalty Rescue Army.

At this time, Zhang Anping was dealing with a document left by General Yu.

After the Battle of Shanghai, General Yu led a group of people to withdraw to Zhejiang and formed the First Teaching Regiment. He Xingjian, who had been shot dead by General Dai himself, led a group of people to withdraw and formed the Second Teaching Regiment. However, some people went to the north at the end of the Battle of Shanghai, and later went to Hebei via Shandong. After incorporating a group of anti-Japanese armed forces, they formed the Northern Detachment.

At the end of last year, under the siege of thousands of Japanese troops, the unit was surrounded in the lake area and was completely wiped out after failing to break out.

The Northern Detachment was the first detachment-level organization of the Loyal Rescue Army to be completely wiped out. General Yu was quite upset, so he prepared to rebuild the Northern Detachment. Now he had to resign his post as commander-in-chief and return to Chongqing to report on his work. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Zhang Anping that if conditions permitted, the Northern Detachment must be rebuilt.

While thinking about how to rebuild the Northern Detachment, Liu Xinjie quickly walked into the headquarters:

"District Commander, Madelin from the Hangzhou team is here."

Zhang Anping said: "Let him in."

Liu Xinjie hesitated and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to go there in person."

Zhang Anping put down his pen after hearing this, and said with a half-smile, "Could it be that someone wants to show me how powerful he is?"

Liu Xinjie nodded slightly.

Zhang Anping immediately became interested. He wanted to see how the Hangzhou Corps would give him a warning!

……

There were actually a lot of "grudges" between the Hangzhou Corps and the Songhu Command.

When the Songhu Command was first established, it had three forces under its jurisdiction:

Beijing-Shanghai Detachment, Shanghai-Hangzhou Detachment and Songhu Operation Corps.

But after Xiaofeng's reorganization, the only direct force under the Songhu Command was the Songhu Detachment, the Beijing-Shanghai Detachment was integrated into the Southern Jiangsu Guerrilla Zone, and the Shanghai-Hangzhou Detachment was reorganized into the Hangzhou Action Corps.

Although Madelin got a bargain from the Songhu Command, he was not satisfied with it. He also participated in the subsequent division of the Songhu Detachment. Together with He Xingjian, he "snatched" more than half of the Songhu Detachment's personnel. Zhang Anping, the "major shareholder" behind the Songhu Detachment, suffered such a loss. Although he was indignant, he never cared about it. After all, it was all for the anti-Japanese war.

But Madeline seemed to have taken Zhang Anping's magnanimity as weakness. This time he obeyed the order to retreat to Xiaofeng, actually wanting to give Zhang Anping a warning?

Led by Liu Xinjie, Zhang Anping drove to the outskirts of the town. When he saw the show of force that Madeline was preparing for, he couldn't help but smile.

The Hangzhou Corps was having a good time. There were nearly 2,000 people on this trip, all wearing brand new military uniforms. There were more than a dozen trucks in the team, and behind each truck was a Japanese-made Type 92 infantry gun and rapid-fire gun, which made for an intimidating sight.

When Tan Zhongshu saw Zhang Anping coming over, he walked over quickly and said, "District Chief, Madelin said he came here on the orders of General Manager Yu and wants to report to General Manager Yu in person."

Zhang Anping waved his hand, indicating that he understood, then jumped off the car and walked towards the Hangzhou headquarters more than 300 meters away. It was too late for Tan Zhongshu to stop him, so he whispered to Liu Xinjie:
"Take the Rangers and accompany the District Commander."

Liu Xinjie took the order, called the special forces and chased after him. After catching up with Zhang Anping halfway, Zhang Anping stopped and frowned:
"go back."

"District Commander, Madelin..." Liu Xinjie hadn't finished his words when he was pulled back by the captain of the special forces. An angry Liu Xinjie said angrily, "Can't you see that District Commander is alone?"

"Captain Liu, the instructor asked us to go back!"

Liu Xinjie wanted to say something, but the captain of the rangers whispered, "The instructor knows what's going on. Don't make things worse."

Liu Xinjie, who was accused of causing trouble, looked at the other party angrily. After seeing the other party's determined face, he also realized his own gaffe - the commandos were Zhang Anping's sharpest sword, and they knew Zhang Anping better than himself.

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

In the distance, Madelin was holding a telescope, watching this scene, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of amusement: "Zhang Xiao is really brave. He actually dared to come here alone."

One of his men asked, "Commander, do you want to scare this pretty boy?"

"Shut up!" Madelin shouted angrily. He deliberately acted like a proud and arrogant general. He just wanted to gauge Zhang Xiao's character and magnanimity, but he would not tolerate his men to do whatever they wanted.

After being reprimanded, the subordinate immediately shut up.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Anping strode to the front of the Hangzhou team. Some guards wanted to stop him, but Madelin spoke first:

"Let him come over."

Zhang Anping smiled and walked to the front of Madeline who was surrounded by people. Seeing Madeline looking at him with aggressive eyes, he smiled gently and said:

"Commander Ma, the Hangzhou Corps is really strong in both men and horses."

Madelin heard the indifference in Zhang Anping's words, so he naturally ignored him and asked with the whip in hand, "Where is Commander Yu?"

"gone."

"I am here to report on the orders of Commander-in-Chief Yu. Now that Commander-in-Chief Yu has left, I have no choice but to return!"

Zhang Anping said quietly, "Commander Ma, if you disobey orders, you can be shot."

Madeline laughed when he heard this: "Shoot? Who dares?"

Zhang Anping also laughed: "Where is the Zhongjiu Army Reorganization Committee?"

The reason why Madelin wanted to show his power to Zhang Anping was because the Reorganization Committee of the Loyalty Rescue Army was going to be reorganized again. In addition, Commander-in-Chief Yu, who saved his life, was inexplicably transferred away, so he deliberately showed his power to Zhang Anping.

Madeline's mentality is also very simple:
I was originally a bandit, and I joined the Loyal Rescue Army to fight against the Japanese. If Commander-in-Chief Yu wants to target me after he leaves, the worst that can happen is that we can just go our separate ways!
"The Loyal Rescue Army Reorganization Committee? If General Zhang Shihao (posthumously awarded) is in charge, I respect him as a hero and will take whatever he wants to do to me! But Commander-in-Chief Yu is away now, how can you do that?" Madelin controlled his restless warhorse and said domineeringly:

"Try it!"

Zhang Anping's expression remained unchanged. Even when the warhorse was anxiously pacing back and forth in front of him, he ignored it. After listening to Madelin's shouting, he said in a cold voice:

"Songhu Command Order——"

"All officers report to Xiaofeng Headquarters!"

Madeline almost laughed when he heard this. He issued the Songhu Command Order?

What a joke!
But he froze in the next second.

Because several officers from the Hangzhou Corps came out from the ranks:
"Former Songhu Detachment Captain Sun Xiang, reporting!"

"Former Major Ning Dezhong of the Songhu Detachment, reporting!"

"Former Songhu Detachment Captain Nan Yun, reporting!"

"The original Songhu Detachment..."

Madeline looked at the people who stood out in shock. These were his trusted backbones!

But now, just because of what this person said, they... they actually stood up! (End of this chapter)
