Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

After Zoke followed Zhang Anping into the inspection mode, he witnessed many ways of fighting against Japan.

Just fighting behind enemy lines can be done in countless ways by the Loyalty Army and the New Fourth Army.

This time, facing the method used by the Special Battalion 1 to attack the artillery positions when capturing Dingshan Town, he came up with an idea:
Form a lean force. The number of members does not need to be too large, but they must be good at something. Train these people into elites to perform some special tasks.

He had actually seen this kind of combat mode a lot during this period. The New Fourth Army and the Loyal Rescue Army both had similar elite troops. In the New Fourth Army's base, there were special armed work teams to carry out tasks. They usually formed teams of 10 to 50 people and entered the Japanese-occupied areas to develop. They could quickly develop a force of dozens of people into an armed force of hundreds of people through various means.

But the small and efficient force conceived by Zok was very different from the armed work team. In his conception, this small force could communicate with the Army Aviation and the Navy Aviation, and rely on the US military's powerful firepower delivery capabilities to perform more tasks.

For example, infiltrating enemy-occupied areas;

For example, rescue;
For example, undercover reconnaissance and so on.

In fact, these tasks can also be performed by elite teams in conventional troops, just like in Europe more than a dozen months later, after the Normandy Landing, a team was sent deep into the war zone to find a soldier named Ryan - for example, a hundred years later, they went to Mars and rescued Ryan.

But with what Zoker had seen and heard during this period, the three Chinese characters "professionalism" made a deep impression on him.

Although ordinary troops can perform these tasks, they lack professionalism and professional training. However, some soldiers in the Loyal Rescue Army and the Special Battalion 1 often receive professional training in certain tactics.

A professionally trained elite team and an ordinary elite team are both carrying out a mission with the core purpose of infiltrating enemy-occupied areas. It is self-evident which one has a higher success rate!

The more Zok thought about it, the more excited he became. He lit the oil lamp and began to write furiously.

……

At the same time, Suzhou.

A group of Japanese soldiers set out in the dark of night and broke into the home of Zhou Jixian, chairman of the Suzhou Maintenance Association.

Facing the glaring bayonets of the Japanese army, Zhou Jixian pretended to be panicked:

"Taijun, what does this mean?"

"Mr. Zhou," the major of the gendarmerie team in charge looked at Zhou Jixian who was still acting and said in a joking tone:

"Should I call you President Zhou, or should I call you... 'Fisherman'?"

Facing the Japanese major who had revealed his identity, Zhou Jixian's panic slowly faded away, and the humble expression he had put on in front of the Japanese also disappeared at the same time. He laughed heartily and said:
"Since Major Iwai has exposed my identity, I will reveal my identity."

Zhou Jixian smiled carefreely: "'Fisherman'... is exactly my code name!"

Although Major Iwai knew Zhou Jixian's identity, he couldn't help but get angry when he saw Zhou Jixian admit it and changed his usual begging attitude in the face of the glaring bayonet.

This kind old man deceived him, and he trusted him so much, but he didn't expect that he would be deceived by him in the end!

He heard the old man's words in the past to ask for favors from him:

"Tai-jun Iwai, although I work wholeheartedly for our imperial army, I still have to make a living in Suzhou. Sometimes I have to do things that can please the resistance members. Tai-jun, please understand me."

He understood and wrote warrants many times, releasing one prisoner after another who were found innocent after interrogation.

But now it seems that he is a joke.

An angry Iwai stepped forward and slapped Zhou Jixian hard in the face:
"Zhou Jixian, you betrayed my trust in you!"

Zhou Jixian stood up, looked at the angry Japanese officer with a smile, and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, how can I, Zhou, keep company with jackals? What a joke!"

Iwai's eyes flashed with ferocity, and his hand pressed on the hilt of his command knife, but at this moment, a subordinate whispered in his ear:

"Major, the commander of the New Fourth Army's Special 1st Battalion, Zhou Weiguo, is his son."

These words dispelled Iwai's murderous intent. He looked at Zhou Jixian viciously and waved his hand: "Take him away!"

……

"Seat down."

A soft call came from behind. Zhang Anping had already determined from the sound of footsteps that it was Zheng Yi, but when he turned around, his eyes were still dull for nearly a second.

At this moment, Zheng Yi, wearing a New Fourth Army uniform, had a smiling face, which made Zhang Anping's thoughts go back to 38 - at that time, he, Lao Zheng and Zeng Moyi were in a room, and everyone was wearing the New Fourth Army uniform with excitement.

But even though they used photos to capture the most exciting moments, the three of them had to burn them reluctantly in the end, burying the memory deep in a corner, not daring to let it see the light of day.

Zhang Anping's expression turned cold, and then he calmed down again - the change in his expression in such a short period of time made Zheng Yi feel uneasy.

"Is something wrong?"

"Commander, Major James has gone out with a company of the 1st Special Battalion."

"Where's Zock?"

"He didn't go out, but it seems he was writing some report."

Zhang Anping nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards Zuk's house. When he passed by him, he said:

"It's okay for you to wear this dress, but be careful about your words and actions. You were smiling just now, and I thought you were happy."

Zheng Yi was anxious to explain, but Zhang Anping had already walked away.

She returned to her residence feeling uneasy and eventually changed back into her previous casual clothes.

Zuo Ke was writing furiously in the room. When Zhang Anping knocked on the door and came in, Zuo Ke did not hide anything. Instead, he smiled and handed a piece of English manuscript to Zhang Anping and said:

"Zhang, this is a draft of a report I wrote. Can you help me take a look?"

"Oh? Then I must read it carefully!"

Zhang Anping's eyes lit up and he took the manuscript and began to read quickly.

But as he read more, Zhang Anping's expression gradually became solemn.

The report drafted by Zok was about the establishment of a joint special combat training camp behind enemy lines between China and the United States. In the report, Zok used the Zhongjiu Army and the New Fourth Army as examples and proposed a combat strategy:

That is, to train troops to carry out special operations behind enemy lines.

In his report, he analyzed:

In the occupied areas of Eurasia, there were many troops engaged in combat behind enemy lines, but most of them had not received special training for combat behind enemy lines. Their growth was accompanied by constant sacrifice and the acquisition of experience and lessons.

However, this method is inefficient and has little effect in delaying the enemy's forces.

Professional soldiers who have undergone special training and know how to quickly develop and grow behind enemy lines can reduce early losses, increase early efficiency, and effectively delay more enemies from falling into security warfare. (Security warfare is a theory proposed by the Japanese army.)
To this end, he suggested that China and the United States form a special combat training camp, with China (especially the Kuomintang and the Communist Party) providing instructors to train relevant talents for each country.

This suggestion was in line with Zhang Anping's wishes, but what really made Zhang Anping serious was another suggestion.

Suggestions for training special operations forces

This proposal is attached at the end. In this proposal, Zok proposed to set up a special training camp to train elite troops to perform special tasks.

This type of force can be used to perform various infiltration missions, such as infiltrating behind enemy lines to conduct reconnaissance, infiltrating behind enemy lines to provide bombing guidance and assistance to air forces, and also to carry out sabotage, sniping and other tasks behind enemy lines.

This is already the official form of modern special forces!

The concept of special forces appeared quite early. In recent years, due to wars, various troops performing special tasks have been named special forces by later generations.

For example, the German Brandenburg Force, the "Commander" special forces formed by the British in the 40s, and the special operations team that the Americans are currently forming.

However, they are still several orders of magnitude behind the modern special forces combat theory. For example, the Brandenburg Unit was mainly responsible for clearing and infiltrating the battlefield before the main force attacked. The Commander Unit was, after all, a guerrilla force. Even the "Green Berets" formed by the Americans were actually a guerrilla force behind enemy lines.

Modern special forces are based on these special forces, and they are constantly improved and eventually suitable theories have emerged.

Let's put it this way, the current mainstream special forces are still at the 1.0 stage, while the ideas guided by Zok's opinion have reached version 2.5 - coupled with the US military's powerful long-range firepower delivery capabilities, this is already the top version of this era.

Seeing that Zhang Anping didn't say anything for a long time, Zuko couldn't help but feel uneasy:
"Zhang, what do you think?"

Based on what Zok had learned during this period, he was certain that his good friend Zhang was a treasure boy. For example, he just learned that Zhang Anping had formed a sniper training brigade ahead of others to train specialized snipers for the national army.

He was not quite sure about the exact situation of the snipers in the National Army, but the snipers in the Loyalty Rescue Army posed such a great threat to the Japanese invaders that the bright five-pointed stars on the Japanese helmets had to be changed to a dark color and covered up with other things to avoid being hit by snipers.

Many of his theories, such as guidance and assistance after infiltration, sniping specific targets, and support, were all based on the sniper unit of the Loyal Rescue Army.

So he cared particularly about Zhang Anping's attitude.

Of course it was not because of copyright, but whether it was feasible or not. He felt that Zhang Anping had more say than him.

When Zhang Anping faced Zouk's uneasy question, the solemnity on his face disappeared in an instant:

"Okay, very good, both suggestions are very good - but I just don't understand why we have to bring them along."

It's obvious who they are.

Zuko breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhang, to tell you the truth, I am interested in Zhou - I think he is very suitable as a candidate for the chief officer."

"In addition, we must admit that the New Fourth Army has more experience in fighting behind enemy lines. They are good at developing the people to become part of the battle behind enemy lines. This is very important."

"To be frank, I heard that you all sent officers to the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army to learn how to fight behind enemy lines. How could I leave them behind?"

Zhang Anping hesitated, and said frankly: "Zoke, although what you said makes sense and I cannot refute you, I hope you understand one thing - we are destined to be opponents in the future, and I may try every means to disrupt their participation."

"I hope this incident will not affect our friendship - but I can assure you that if you and I reach a relevant cooperation, I will definitely not be secretive in terms of teaching."

"Zhang, I like your frankness!" Zoker smiled and gave Zhang Anping a hug, then said softly:
"But I also hope you understand that this matter is beneficial to us. If there is a possibility that our goal cannot be achieved, I will do everything I can to eliminate this hidden danger."

"Even if... I can use the thing you care about most as leverage!"

"I hope it won't affect our friendship."

Zhang Anping looked at Zuko and suddenly laughed:
"I like your honesty, too."

……

Zhang Anping decided to go to Shanghai as soon as possible to meet Lao Cen.

Zok's thoughts gave him a sense of crisis - from the perspective of World War II, it was beneficial for the Eagle Sauce to have a strong military force.

There is no doubt about this.

But the future of North Korea will be the battlefield where we clash with the United Nations forces led by the Eagle Sauce.

Zhang Anping does not want our side to be traumatized by the modern special forces that we have created on future battlefields.

So he had to ask for help.

Zheng Yingqi!
My jerk fellow villager!

With his presence, they could increase their own weight, making Zhang Shihao's idea of ​​excluding the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army from the joint training fail, and they could also strike a suitable balance.

The most crucial point is, well, the cat is the tiger's teacher, so he must have some skills in climbing trees.

But before Zhang Anping could persuade Zok to leave the Special Battalion 1, a familiar special mark appeared in the headquarters of the Special Battalion 1. That night, Zhang Anping secretly came to a room and met the owner of the mark - Sister Qian.

Zhang Anping was very happy to see Sister Qian. As soon as they met, he said, "Sister, you came at the right time. I have something important that I would like to ask for your help!"

Sister Qian had something important to discuss with Zhang Anping. Seeing Zhang Anping like this, she asked, "What can I help you with? Tell me!"

"Zoke's situation should be stable. With him in the picture, the United States will surely provide us with military aid. The only problem lies with the Nationalist government. However, if the Americans insist on having their own way, the Nationalist government will have no choice but to accept it. But they will definitely keep making small moves. The organization must pay attention to this."

Sister Qian nodded: "I understand. I will remind my superiors."

"Also, Zoker wants to set up two training camps in our country. He will ask the National Government for strong support and will also involve us. One of these two training camps will be responsible for training armed personnel to fight behind enemy lines. This is easy to say. We can just go all out to assist when the time comes."

"The other training camp is for training special operations personnel. They need us to achieve the purpose of training. Comrade Zhou Weiguo is Zoker's ideal candidate for the chief commander. I hope the organization will transfer a comrade from the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade to increase our weight and let this comrade also be responsible for training."

"I will push hard to increase the number of our trainees in this combat training camp."

Zhang Anping added:
"Sister Qian, the second training camp is conducting training for new combat arms. I think this may be a very important model in the future. Our people cannot fall behind!"

Sister Qian nodded seriously: "I've made a note of it. By the way, who is the comrade you want to transfer from the 386th Brigade?"

"Zheng Yingqi."

"Zheng Yingqi? I remember now, he's also a comrade who came back from the United States, right? No problem!"

Sister Qian agreed very readily.

Zhang Anping breathed a sigh of relief and reported again:

"Big sister, I noticed that behind enemy lines, the Nationalist army is currently brewing an anti-communist wave. These bastards, the foreign invaders have not been eliminated, and they are always causing trouble!" Zhang Anping complained and continued:

"I estimate that after I hand in the report, the diehards may use this as an opportunity to launch a new anti-communist wave. I hope that the organization will not hold back and will take ruthless action when necessary!"

"Some people just tear off the roof if they're not disciplined for three days!"

Zhang Anping said this with murderous intent.

Sister Qian looked solemn, and attached great importance to the information provided by Zhang Anping. Since the Anti-Japanese National United Front was formed after the December 12 Incident, the Kuomintang has launched two anti-communist waves. Especially the Southern Anhui Incident in the second anti-communist wave, which made the pro-communists sad and the enemies happy, is unforgettable for the Chinese people!
No one expected that after only two years of peace and stability, and after experiencing the defeat in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign and the Expeditionary Force, the Kuomintang would show signs of launching an anti-communist wave again.

Compared with Zhang Anping's radicalism, Sister Qian is more concerned about nipping the signs in the bud.

After all, once a military conflict breaks out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it will be our country's anti-Japanese forces that will suffer!

After Zhang Anping finished what he was going to report, Sister Qian said:

"Anping, there is something you must come forward to resolve."

"You say."

Sister Qian said in a serious tone:

"Zhou Weiguo's father, Mr. Zhou Jixian, was exposed and arrested by the Suzhou Military Police."

"what?"

Zhang Anping was stunned.

Mr. Zhou Jixian was not a comrade of the underground party, in fact, he was not a member of the Military Control Commission - like Mr. Huang, he was an early member of the Tongmenghui, but later stayed away from politics.

Before the fall of Suzhou, the old man could actually leave, but he made the same choice as Mr. Huang and stayed there.

The only difference is that Mr. Huang is tough to the end and refuses to be a traitor when faced with the invitation of Fujita Yoshimasa.

But Mr. Zhou was not like that. When faced with the position of chairman of the maintenance association offered by the Japanese army, Mr. Zhou accepted it after careful consideration.

But he did not become a traitor. After accepting this position, he used it to provide convenience and cover for the resistance forces of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, saving innocent people from the clutches of the Japanese army.

This is exactly what Tan Sitong said:

I smiled from the side to the sky, and left two Kunluns!
Mr. Huang who sticks to the end is worthy of admiration, but isn’t Mr. Zhou, who disregards his reputation and is willing to bear the infamy, also admirable?

To put it in a modern way, Mr. Zhou has completely let go of his idol image!
Zhou Jixian was a veteran of the Tongmenghui and had a special identity. After Suzhou Station was incorporated into the Beijing-Shanghai District, Zhang Anping instructed Gu Wei, the stationmaster of Suzhou Station, to try his best to protect Mr. Zhou. However, he did not expect that at this time, Mr. Zhou would be exposed.

Sister Qian repeated it again, and Zhang Anping stood up and said angrily:

"What the hell is Gu Wei doing? I've told him time and again to ensure the old man's safety, and this is how he keeps his promises? Bastard!"

Zhang Anping was really angry.

Sister Qian was secretly shocked. This boy always had a smiling face in front of her, but suddenly he got angry, which made her feel like she was facing the leader directly.

After she calmed down, she asked, "Anping, can the military control force save the old man?"

Sister Qian had actually been following Zhang Anping's footsteps, but she deliberately kept her distance. That was why she was able to find Zhang Anping as soon as the news came.

The underground party attached so much importance to it not only because the other party was Zhou Weiguo's father, but also because Mr. Zhou had great influence. Although he had been burdened with endless infamy for "surrendering to the enemy", his influence would naturally be restored after his reputation was cleared.

At present, the old man was arrested, and it is not certain whether it was because of the underground party or the Military Control Commission, because the old man provided help to anti-Japanese people, and he never looked at factions, but only whether they were anti-Japanese!
The underground party has the responsibility to provide manpower and resources to such a predecessor who understands the righteousness of the cause.

Zhang Anping did not answer, but asked:

"Sister, when did this happen?"

"Eleven o'clock last night."

Zhang Anping calculated the time silently and said:
"The radio that the Rangers carry with them is turned on at 8 o'clock in the evening. I think the news will come soon. I will go to Suzhou immediately after receiving the news. I will be responsible for this matter personally. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue the old man."

Sister Qian nodded slightly, she believed Zhang Anping's promise.

……

After saying goodbye to Sister Qian, Zhang Anping hurried to his room. Not long after, a soldier from the New Fourth Army came over:

"Commander Zhang, our leader wants you to come over."

"what's up?"

"You will know when you go there."

Zhang Anping pretended to be unaware and followed the soldier to leave, but the noise alarmed Qu Yuanmu and Zheng Yi. They came out quickly and followed Zhang Anping without hesitation even though they didn't know what had happened.

Led by the New Fourth Army soldiers, the three came to the headquarters.

Zhou Weiguo sat expressionlessly in the headquarters. Opposite him, a plainclothes Rangers member sat with a dusty face and dejected expression. When he saw Zhang Anping coming in, he stood up nervously and greeted him in a low voice:
"Instructor."

Zhang Anping knew what happened as soon as he saw it. He frowned immediately and said, "Captain Zhou, did my soldiers provoke you?!"

"Commander Zhang is really good at turning the tables!"

Zhou Weiguo sneered: "Commander Zhang's soldiers broke into our Special Battalion 1 camp in the middle of the night. If my soldiers had not shown mercy, Commander Zhang would have been facing a dead body! Isn't this Zhou's fault?"

The rangers were the security force for Zhang Anping and his group, but they did not follow them. Instead, they stayed behind.

After Zhang Anping and his team entered the Special 1st Battalion, the rangers arrogantly did not station inside, but stationed outside.

What is happening now is obvious:
After the radio station of the Rangers received the information that Zhou Jixian was arrested, a member of the team came to deliver the information, but this member relied on his skills and courage and chose to sneak in secretly...

Then, there was this scene now.

Of course the infiltration failed. If it had been successful, Zhou Weiguo would have been furious.

This is what is meant by arrogant and brave soldiers - since its formation, the rangers have always been the sharpest sword in Zhang Anping's hands. The Japanese suffered a lot at the hands of the rangers, which also cultivated the rangers' members' arrogant temperament.

Faced with the New Fourth Army, they naturally did not take it seriously, so they boldly chose to sneak in.

Unfortunately, he was caught by the secret sentry deployed by Zhou Weiguo. If the secret sentry had not wanted to capture him alive, Zhang Anping would probably have seen a corpse at this time.

"Instructor, I..." The ranger team member lowered his head, wanting to find a crack in the ground to crawl into out of shame.

Zhang Anping waved his hand:

"If you're embarrassed, admit it. Captain Zhou, it's my man, not mine. I'll apologize on his behalf. If you have any losses, I'm willing to bear them all. Is that okay?"

Zhou Weiguo didn't expect Zhang Anping to be so single. He was ready to break up with him, but he didn't expect Zhang Anping to be so straightforward. He didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"open--"

Zok's hurried voice came from outside. Because Zhou Weiguo did not give the order to stop him, he rushed in directly. After seeing the situation in the headquarters, Zok hurriedly asked: "Captain Zhou, what happened?"

"It's nothing serious, just a misunderstanding. Commander Zhang, I'm very sorry to bother you so late at night. Please take the person away."

Zhou Weiguo said magnanimously: "In the future, please ask Commander Zhang to restrain your subordinates to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Zhang Anping said nothing more. He glanced at Zhou Weiguo and turned away - looking extremely aggrieved.

But just as he was about to leave, the captured Ranger said cautiously:

"Instructor, the telegram was taken away by them."

Zok looked at Zhang Anping, then at Zhou Weiguo, and instantly realized that his good friend Zhang had been humiliated.

【Zhang is embarrassed... I need to see (his) situation (laughing) (talking).】

Zhang Anping stopped and turned to look at Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo said innocently: "I'm sorry, Commander Zhang, my soldiers thought it was a Japanese spy - then you, quickly bring all the captured items over."

Snapped

A pile of things wrapped in cloth were placed on the table by the New Fourth Army soldiers. The scattered little gadgets were really eye-opening, including daggers, pistols, medicines, blades...

There are also a lot of weird stuff.

Zhou Weiguo said nonchalantly: "See if there is anything missing."

The ranger ignored Zhou Weiguo's words and wanted to pick up the cloth bag in shame.

Zhang Anping stopped him: "Telegram to me."

An opened bamboo tube was handed to Zhang Anping. Zhang Anping took out the digital telegram inside the tube and read it quickly.

His expression quickly turned gloomy, and he finally angrily slammed the telegram on the table.

The guilty ranger didn't even dare to look at Zhang Anping, his heart was pounding.

Zuko asked with concern: "Zhang, what happened?"

Zhang Anping glanced at Zhou Weiguo and said in a serious tone:
"Commander Zhou, I'm really sorry, your father, Mr. Zhou Jixian..."

"Captured by the Japanese." (End of this chapter)
