Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 702 I can’t think of a chapter title

Lianshui.

After reporting Ding Xishan's dirty laundry, Ma Baosan felt secretly pleased with himself.

Mr. Ding has taught you not to take me seriously normally, but this time I’ll let you know what a surprise is!

Zhang Anping glanced at Ma Baosan. Although Ma Baosan acted serious, he could still see what Ma Baosan was thinking from his eyes. After shaking his head secretly, he said, "Follow me to the column headquarters to meet Ding Xishan."

Ma Baosan pretended to hesitate and said, "Chief District Officer, how about I try to trick him here first? Ding Xishan's pro-communist tendencies are so obvious, if he gets desperate and does something stupid..."

Zhang Anping sneered:
"I want to see how he jumps over the wall - the Loyal Rescue Army is not Ding Xishan's Loyal Rescue Army! Let's go!"

Ma Baosan, who had already achieved the crooked mouth achievement, flattered him: "Zhou Zong, you are right. In the Zhongjiu Army, even if Ding Xishan wants to align with the Communists, ordinary soldiers will never dare to point their guns at you."

It was not known whether it was because of Ma Baosan's complaint or because his ability to flatter was too poor, but these words made Zhang Anping feel very disgusted. Even when Ma Baosan was running in front to lead the way, Zhang Anping felt from his back that this guy might be a traitor.

[It seems that the Zhongjiu Army cannot keep you. Once the matter in Siyang is settled, they must take this guy away no matter what.]

Under the leadership of Ma Baosan, Zhang Anping came to the headquarters of the Subei Column. When several officers of the Subei Column saw Zhang Anping, they immediately stopped and saluted:

"Hello, teacher (district chief/officer Zhang)!"

After these greetings, the soldiers around the headquarters immediately saluted Zhang Anping with their guns. From their enthusiastic eyes, it can be seen that the command of the Subei Column has now quietly passed to Zhang Anping.

For Zhang Shihao, this is naturally a very good thing, but for Zhang Anping, it is not so good.

[In the Zhongjiu Army, we need to slowly get rid of Zhang Hua! Old Xu, Old Xu, getting rid of Zhang Hua is a long process. I hope you can accomplish this task in the next few years with perseverance...]

As Zhang Anping thought about it, he nodded in response to the soldiers and officers who saluted, then strode into the command center.

Before entering the command room, Ding Xishan rushed out in a hurry and saluted immediately after seeing Zhang Anping:
"Ministry of Staff Ding Xishan, greetings to Chief Zhang!"

Zhang Anping looked at Ding Xishan calmly, which made Ding Xishan feel uneasy. Then Zhang Anping ignored Ding Xishan and stepped into the operations room.

In the war room, Zhang Anping sat down with his horse and sword, and looked expressionlessly at Ding Xishan who followed him in. It was not until Ding Xishan lowered his head that he asked leisurely:

"When did the Subei Column fall to the point where it could be held up for four hours by a puppet army of 800 people?"

Ding Xishan swallowed hard and whispered, "Our department, our department is worried that our troops might be ambushed by the New Fourth Army if they go too deep into the enemy's territory."

"Do you think I will believe it?"

Faced with Zhang Anping's question, Ding Xishan remained silent.

He himself knew that this reason was not tenable.

"Ma Baosan."

"To!"

"Investigate!" Zhang Anping ordered in a cold voice: "Investigate thoroughly. I want to find out whether the senior generals in my Loyal Rescue Army have any connection with the Communists!"

"Yes!"

Ding Xishan's face turned pale. He didn't expect Zhang Anping to investigate him as soon as they met, and he even let Ma Baosan, the person he despised the most and with whom he had a grudge, be responsible.

Ma Baosan turned his back to Zhang Anping and gestured to Ding Xishan: "Captain Ding, please come in!"

But the expression on his face at this moment was full of the smugness of a villain who had succeeded.

Ding Xishan ignored Ma Baosan and turned to Zhang Anping and said, "Commander Zhang, I have a clear conscience!"

Zhang Anping glanced at Ding Xishan and said nothing. Ma Baosan saw this and pushed Ding Xishan: "Captain Ding, don't force me to use force."

Ding Xishan glared at the smug Ma Baosan and strode out.

Watching Ding Xishan's disappearing back, Zhang Anping remained silent, but said in his heart:
Of course I know you have a clear conscience!
As the head of the No. 2 intelligence group, how could Zhang Anping not know the list of his own people within the Zhongjiu Army? In fact, for the sake of unity, the organization has not infiltrated the Zhongjiu Army. Although there are comrades in the Zhongjiu Army, none of them were actively developed by the organization.

Zhang Anping knew very well which comrades they were.

Ding Xishan was naturally not his comrade, but he still had a good impression of the organization. After being promoted to the commander of the Subei Column, he repeatedly cooperated with the New Fourth Army in combat.

This time he was even more unwilling to fight against his own people, so he disobeyed his own military orders and deliberately attacked the puppet army during the march, wasting four hours.

Originally, Zhang Anping just wanted to give him a warning, but Ma Baosan's tricky behavior forced Zhang Anping to put on some pretense.

But Zhang Anping naturally couldn't really punish Ding Xishan - he just needed a reasonable reason to deal with the matter hastily.

……

After Zhang Anping arrived in Lianshui, he quickly arrested Ding Xishan. This move made the commanders of the other three columns suddenly feel worried, and they rushed to Lianshui as soon as possible to meet Zhang Anping.

As soon as they arrived in Lianshui, they received news that Ding Xishan had been forced to confess by Ma Baosan.

The three column commanders were furious and reported the matter immediately after meeting Zhang Anping.

"Teacher, how can you torture a senior officer of the Loyalty Rescue Army to extract a confession without any evidence?"

Zhang Anping pretended to be shocked and angry, and immediately sent someone to bring Ding Xishan. When he saw Ding Xishan with whip marks all over his body, he became furious, called Ma Baosan over, scolded him, and then asked if he had any evidence.

Ma Baosan naturally nodded.

Zhang Anping was furious when he saw this and criticized Ma Baosan again. He then ordered the release of Ding Xishan.

After the three column leaders helped Ding Xishan leave, Zhang Anping said:
"Ma Baosan, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

"I asked you to investigate, not to torture your own people. If you do this, I will be in a passive position. Do you understand?!"

Ma Baosan felt so wronged that he wanted to cry: "District Chief, this was completely decided by the staff of the department without authorization. The department really had no idea about it."

Ma Baosan was indeed unaware of the situation. Although he wanted to deal with Ding Xishan very much, he knew that Zhang Anping was right in front of him. If he used torture, he would easily lose points in front of Zhang Anping.

But who could have thought that his men were so eager to gain merit that they actually tortured him without telling him!
Zhang Anping knew about Ma Baosan’s grievances.

Because the torture by his men was Ding Xishan's own idea - after all, there were very few people like Ma Baosan in the Zhongjiu Army. The agents of the Supervisory Department of the Subei Command still admired Ding Xishan very much. Ding Xishan was also decisive. He adopted the advice of his adjutant and used a cruel trick at the critical moment to successfully trap Ma Baosan.

Zhang Anping looked at Ma Baosan who was trying to shirk his responsibility and sighed one last time:
"You can't even control your subordinates, and you still have the nerve to shirk your responsibility? Let's end this matter here. Put Su Bei's job aside and follow me for the time being."

Ma Baosan felt like he had lost his parents, but after Zhang Anping finished his last sentence, his eyes lit up.

The director of the Subei Supervisory Office sounds like a high position, but in the Subei Command, he is probably the eighth or ninth. Following Zhang Anping, although he does not have real power for the time being, everyone knows that Zhang Anping always likes to bring seedlings with him to train and then release them. Once he releases them, he will be promoted to a higher level immediately.

In other words, he bet on the right horse, and although the work was not done well, his performance won the appreciation of the district chief!

Ma Baosan said excitedly: "Thank you for the promotion, District Chief. I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly and do my best!"

Ma Baosan's words made Zhang Anping feel like he was looking in a mirror - after all, not long ago, he had expressed his loyalty to the chief aide-de-camp to Zhuang Weihong in a similar tone.

"Leave the work at hand to your deputy. Next, you will accompany me to meet the New Fourth Army!"

"Yes!" After resolving the investigation of Ding Xishan by giving both of them fifty lashes, and promoting Ding Xishan from the powerful column commander to the deputy commander of the Subei Command as quickly as possible, Zhang Anping no longer cared about internal affairs, but went straight to Siyang with a team of guards.

He is going to the New Fourth Army!

……

Zhang Anping actually likes this kind of job very much. Although he has to pretend to be cool, whenever he is in the base, he always feels that even the air is sweet.

But his arrival made the New Fourth Army feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The New Fourth Army did not expect that Zhang Anping would appear in Sihong with only a dozen guards and without even notifying anyone. This surprised the New Fourth Army greatly, and some even worried that Zhang Anping was plotting something.

Although they were facing a formidable enemy, the New Fourth Army still decided to receive Zhang Anping with dignity, taking into account their special status. They guessed that Zhang Anping's arrival this time was to resolve the current issue peacefully.

Logically speaking, the New Fourth Army welcomed Zhang Anping solemnly, and Zhang Anping should have given them a good face no matter what. However, Zhang Anping spoke in a sarcastic and weird tone from the moment they met, which made the accompanying New Fourth Army officers want to have a PK with Zhang Anping.

However, no matter how angry they were, it was useless because the leader stopped them several times with a stern look.

After a not-so-pleasant reception, Zhang Anping directly asked to meet Deputy Commander Han. After considering for a while, the New Fourth Army agreed to Zhang Anping's request, but only allowed Zhang Anping to go alone.

This seemed to be a test of Zhang Anping's courage. Zhang Anping sneered, said something like "judge others by one's own standards", and then agreed.

Then he asked his entourage to follow the arrangements of the New Fourth Army, and he went to see Han Chuzhen accompanied by New Fourth Army officers - but in fact, the person who received him was Comrade Li, who naturally led Zhang Anping to a secret room.

Sister Qian had already been waiting for Zhang Anping in the house.

After entering the room, Mr. Yin Yang Zhang Anping immediately returned to his original nature and greeted with a smile:
"Sister Qian, Chief."

Facing the smiling Zhang Anping, Sister Qian could only helplessly say: "You..."

She said this, of course, because of Zhang Anping's previous performance - this guy was sarcastic and arrogant in front of his comrades. She didn't know how he would face his comrades after taking off his disguise!
Comrade Li said: "Comrade Anping, your layout this time really opened my eyes!"

This time, Zhang Anping's layout was fully coordinated with the organization. After the whole operation, even though they had Zhang Anping's entire plan in their hands, they were still confused by this operation.

Of course, what made the organization most happy was the performance of the Loyalty Rescue Army.

The organization was surprised by the Subei Column that was delayed for four hours by 800 puppet troops, the Loyal Rescue Army Headquarters that was "forced to abdicate" by most of its senior officials, the other three columns that arrived in the Siyang area without causing any harm, and the remaining three columns that accumulated troops in southern Jiangsu but never had any friction with the New Fourth Army.

The Zhongjiu Army's performance proved one thing:

From now on, the New Fourth Army will no longer have to worry about being stabbed by friendly forces on the enemy's rear battlefields in Zhejiang and Jiangsu!
Zhang Anping did not get carried away, but explained seriously: "It's not that my plan is good, but that people's hearts are in favor!"

"You're right, that's what the people want!"

Comrade Li agreed wholeheartedly. This was also the reason why the organization chose to be tolerant, tolerant, and tolerant again in the face of various proactive attacks from the diehards, and when counterattacking, it only counterattacked with limited force.

After the three of them briefly reminisced about the past, Comrade Li revealed a piece of good news to Zhang Anping:

"Comrade Anping, I have good news for you. Han Chuzhen and Commander Chen secretly signed an agreement to cooperate in the war of resistance."

Agreements are usually meant to be broken, but the agreement that Han Chuzhen secretly signed with the New Fourth Army was quite binding - the key point lies in the word "secret".

Zhang Anping was delighted:
"Great! It's better to clear the blockage than to block it. After this unblocking, we don't have to worry about any more messy things here!"

Sister Qian and Comrade Li also laughed. All the goals of Zhang Anping's plan this time have been achieved!

After the joy, Zhang Anping said seriously: "Commander, Sister Qian, I hope that the focus of the No. 2 Intelligence Group will shift to the Loyal Rescue Army in the future."

"Zhongjiujun?" Sister Qian and Comrade Li were stunned. Comrade Li frowned and said:

"Isn't this a bad idea? The New Fourth Army and the Loyal Rescue Army should be working together again. At this time..."

Comrade Li obviously wanted to object.

"Commander, the Zhongjiu Army is different from other national armies. To be frank, the Zhongjiu Army is an army under the Military Control Commission. Once the war is over, the evildoers in the Military Control Commission will definitely not watch the Zhongjiu Army in my hands. They will definitely try to sabotage it."

"You don't want this army that I have carefully built to really come into conflict with us in the future, do you?"

Zhang Anping's rhetorical question left Comrade Li silent.

Sister Qian advised: "Commander, I think Anping is right. Besides, he is moderate in his actions and will not do anything to undermine the unity in the war of resistance."

Comrade Li thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​objecting, but still reminded:
"You are responsible for this matter, but you must be careful about the scale. Our most important goal is to unite and fight the war. It is not our intention to stir up internal strife. You must keep this in mind."

Zhang Anping nodded cautiously.

Then he talked about some ideas about work. After getting the support and agreement from Comrade Li and Sister Qian, Zhang Anping talked about his work in the future:

"For the next period of time, my work at the Military Control Commission will focus on the Sino-American Cooperation Office. During this period, I will try every means to facilitate a battlefield observation group to go to the European and Pacific battlefields to observe and learn about the operations of the US military. I hope the organization can find a way to get a place for this observation group."

Comrade Li didn't understand: "Watching the U.S. military in action?"

"Once the war is over, the large amount of equipment that the Americans have stockpiled will certainly be used to support the Nationalist government. There is no harm in knowing this in advance."

Comrade Li suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That makes sense. Let's learn from each other!"

After the three of them talked for about twenty minutes, they dared not talk anymore and could only say goodbye to each other. Comrade Li and Sister Qian watched Zhang Anping leave, and Comrade Li said:

"I noticed that Comrade Anping looked at us with a very strange look just now. Was he attracted by the military uniforms we were wearing?"

Sister Qian nodded deeply:

"Comrades hiding behind enemy lines, how could they not want to come back!"

Comrade Li sighed deeply when he heard this. Yes, who among them doesn’t want to come back!
However, how could they come back easily when their identities were hidden?
……

Zhang Anping was quite fond of the military uniforms worn by Comrade Li and Sister Qian. Although he looked quite handsome in the National Army general's uniform, the grey uniform of the New Fourth Army was not that attractive to him.

Unfortunately, I can’t wear it.

This regret was hidden in his heart after he met Han Chuzhen.

When he saw Han Chuzhen, he was reading by candlelight in a spacious room. Faced with the sudden appearance of Zhang Anping, who was dressed in the uniform of a general of the National Army, Han Chuzhen was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

He asked tentatively: "Zhang Shihao?"

Zhang Anping said apologetically, "It's me—Commander Han. I'm sorry."

But at this time, Zhang Anping was thinking:

Now that Old Han sees me, he must be feeling nervous, right?

You should know that after Han Chuzhen was captured, he acted as if he was going on a hunger strike to preserve his loyalty.

Then, he refused to eat or drink, which made the New Fourth Army comrades mutter in their hearts:
Is it that people look down on the food we eat?
Old Han gave up his hunger strike after two days and started to negotiate terms with the New Fourth Army. Perhaps because he realized that the New Fourth Army would not do anything to him, he started to make plans in his mind.

After discussions with his New Fourth Army comrades, Lao Han finally made up his mind and secretly signed an agreement with the New Fourth Army. Now, only one day had passed since the signing of the agreement, and Zhang Anping appeared in front of him. It would be strange if Lao Han could feel at ease!
Han Chuzhen, feeling guilty, thought quickly and said:
"Zhang Chang - Nephew Shihao, you actually took the risk to come here?"
