Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Under Zhang Anping's will, some special agencies within the Nationalist army quickly sprang into action.

In the National Revolutionary Army's war zones or pacification headquarters, there was a "Senior Staff Group" structure. This structure was actually set up for members of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (BIS). Under the command of these "Senior Staff Groups," the supervisory offices or special commissioners (inspection commissioners) at the army or reorganized division level, and the liaison staff at the brigade level, who were actually agents under the BIS, quickly took action.

All the snipers from the Nationalist Army units were detained and then urgently sent to four established detention camps.

This move quickly aroused dissatisfaction among commanders of various units, and pressure immediately fell on the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

In the small conference room, a secret meeting was being held, with only Zhang Anping's door kicked open.

Mao Renfeng said with a puzzled look:
"What is Zhang Anping trying to do? He's arrested so many people at once!"

"The impact has even spread to the entire Central Army!"

Zheng Yaoxian then said quietly, "It's not just the Central Army; other elite units also have them—I specifically checked, and they are all snipers who came from the Chongqing Sniper Training Brigade."

"Speaking of which, he's the one who started this sniper training brigade!"

Mao Renfeng was well aware of this.

Normally, as someone from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, one would be at odds with the military.

But Zhang Anping was an exception; he had a very good reputation in the military, and many people admired him.

His cooperation with the military began with the sniper training brigade.

But what is Zhang Anping doing now?
First, they caused a huge uproar, offending a large number of military personnel within the National Revolutionary Army who were involved in opium smuggling and arms trafficking. Now they have arrested all the snipers—do they think they haven't made enough enemies?

“Ignore this matter,” Zheng Yaoquan said. “If anyone puts pressure on us again, just tell them that Zhang Anping was behind this. If they want to find someone, they should go find Zhang Anping. Don’t bother us.”

Zheng Yaoxian immediately asked, "Chief, do you know the reason?"

"Yes, the section chief mentioned it to me. It seems there's a problem in the sniper training brigade; there's a Communist infiltrator."

Zheng Yaoquan's casual explanation:

"In addition, Zhang Anping has always suspected that the 66th Division has been heavily infiltrated by the Communist Party, and even the sniper who attempted to assassinate him may have been behind the Communist Party. Therefore, he plans to thoroughly investigate the sniper."

He spoke casually, but in reality, he did it on purpose—Zhang Anping's sudden closeness with the section chief naturally made him, the section chief's classmate, feel a great sense of crisis. He needed to send a signal to the two wolves below him:

My relationship with the department head remains very close.

To prevent those two wolves from having any other ideas.

Ever since being stabbed in the back by Emperor Tang, Zheng Yaoquan has come to understand one thing:

Allying with spies carries an extremely high risk of being stabbed in the back! Never, ever show the slightest weakness!

His little scheme seemed to have worked, and Zheng Yaoxian said at this moment:
"Since Zhang Anping brought this trouble upon himself, let him have his fun! With over a thousand people, the investigation will be enough trouble for him."

Zheng Yaoquan didn't pay attention, but Mao Renfeng's pupils suddenly contracted.

If... if Zhang Anping messes this up, those military personnel will probably lose a lot of goodwill towards him!

Zheng Yaoxian glanced at Mao Renfeng silently, thinking to himself:
The man surnamed Mao was indeed tempted!

That's right, Anping put the meat in front of the dog, no wonder the dog was tempted!

After the meeting, Mao Renfeng returned to his office and locked himself in, forbidding anyone from entering.

He closed his eyes and began to think.

Zhang Anping is now in a situation where he's like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

The investigation team in Wuhan is investigating, and another investigation team has been sent to the 66th Division. Now they have to investigate so many snipers—all of this will seriously consume human resources!

The most crucial point is that the meeting just now reached a resolution to draw on the best and brightest from the bureau to conduct high-level training for the fourteen newly established training courses and the existing training courses—this requires a lot of manpower!

As for manpower, it will be transferred from Zhang Anping's close associates.

Having managed such a large operation, if Zhang Anping were to have his manpower redeployed, would he be able to keep up with the scale of the operation?
He can handle ten jars with eight lids, but what about ten jars with five lids?

I can't figure it out!
Moreover, the four factions within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics are basically intertwined, and Zhang Anping is currently short of manpower!
In this situation, if they were to act covertly, would Zhang Anping be able to handle it?
We can't manage it all!

This is a great opportunity!

Mao Renfeng's eyes suddenly opened, shining as if they were about to glow.

Since the sniper review was approved by the section chief, it meant that the section chief was involved. If a big mess was made, not only would Zhang Anping lose some of the friendships within the Nationalist military, but the section chief would also question his abilities!

Kill two birds with one stone!
"Zhang Anping, Zhang Anping, don't blame me for being so heartless!"

"You forced me to do all of this!"

……

The list of temporary support trainees was released in the afternoon.

The Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will temporarily select 147 senior agents from its headquarters and various stations to support the training course, which will provide intensive training to the more than 1,700 recruited agents.

After the list was released, Zhang Anping, who was about to board a plane to Wuhan, urgently returned to the bureau headquarters.

"I disagree!"

In Zheng Yaoquan's office, Zhang Anping stared at Zheng Yaoquan with a gloomy expression:
"As the deputy director of the Bureau of Secrecy, I was completely unaware of this matter!"

"Furthermore, the review of the list was not done with my consent!"

"This list must be withdrawn!"

Zhang Anping's anger was palpable.

Zheng Yaoquan naturally knew why Zhang Anping was so angry—he had set up so many things, and then at this crucial moment, they wanted to transfer his people to train new ones, which was obviously a favor to him.

It would be strange if they weren't angry.

“Anping, this is a collective decision of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics!” Zheng Yaoquan said quietly.

"You want to withdraw the list? That's... utterly unreasonable!"

He spoke slowly and didn't seem angry, but Zhang Anping was startled.

After softening his tone, Zhang Anping said:
"Chief, I need manpower now!"

"Wuhan is investigating, the 66th Division is investigating, and now we need to conduct a large-scale investigation of the snipers. We are really short-handed!"

"With the section chief personally in charge, Anping dares not neglect his duties. Please understand, Director."

Faced with Zhang Anping's soft approach of bringing up the section chief, Zheng Yaoquan sighed and then spoke from the heart:
“Anping, I support your plan to carry out major surgery on the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics this time. After great chaos comes great order—you can’t just dig a hole and not fill it, can you?”

"How many people will you cut down this time, one by one? The various stations and teams will definitely be stretched thin, so I must prepare early."

“It was wrong of me to rashly transfer your trusted confidants this time, but I had no choice.”

Zheng Yaoquan sighed again:
“Your men have always been elite troops, and I’m truly at ease having them looking after these newcomers—I can’t trust the others!”

“If you feel you don’t have enough people, you can think of a way. Do you think all the people in our Security Bureau are just sitting around doing nothing? We can’t afford to have problems with fresh blood. You should know that better than I do.”

"Brother Anping, you have to understand, in the end, we're all in the same boat!"

Zheng Yaoquan gave Zhang Anping a look that said, "You'll understand."

Zheng Yaoquan's statement can be understood as:

I don't trust Mao Renfeng. I'm afraid he'll bring all these new recruits under his wing, while I'd rather have your people in charge.

The statement "We are all in the same boat" seems more like a response to Zhang Anping's earlier use of the term "section chief".

In other words, it can be implicitly interpreted as Zheng Yaoquan expressing his stance to Zhang Anping:
We're both on the section chief's side, and I support you now!
Will Zhang Anping believe it?
No way!
But no matter what Zheng Yaoquan does or says, he can report back to the section chief. Moreover, if Zhang Anping continues to "make trouble," Zheng Yaoquan can use his position as bureau chief to subdue him.

Ultimately, a higher-ranking official can have absolute power over a person.

Zhang Anping had no choice but to back down: "Director, since that's the case, please send me some men—draw some from Zheng Yaoxian's side as well, but don't take a single one of Mao Renfeng's men!"

"That's easy. You can transfer whomever you want. If anyone's unhappy, let them come to me!" Zheng Yaoquan said righteously and solemnly.

"You must clean up the mess within my Security Bureau. Anyone who doesn't cooperate is unworthy of being a member of the Security Bureau!"

Zhang Anping bowed slightly: "Thank you for your support, Director."

He then took his leave. After a few polite words, Zheng Yaoquan even escorted Zhang Anping to the office door. Watching Zhang Anping's retreating figure, Zheng Yaoquan added with a smile to what Zhang Anping had just said:
"Shit!"

Because of the list issue, Zhang Anping had to postpone his trip and spent two more days in Nanjing revising the list and starting to redeploy troops again.

After rearranging everything and finalizing the itinerary, Zhang Anping was about to fly to Wuhan when a thunderclap rang out.

A mutiny has occurred in the reorganized 66th Division!
It wasn't the 66th Reorganized Division that mutinied, but rather its subordinate 185th Brigade.

Zhang Anping "had no choice" but to abandon his trip and return to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to take charge.

While apologizing to the Attendant's Office (which had actually changed its name at this point, but let's still call it the Attendant's Office), Division Commander Zhao Qiyuan promised to resolve the mutiny within three days and ensure that it would not affect the ongoing Battle of Dingtao.

Zhao Qiyuan was very confident in resolving the mutiny. After all, it was a mutiny he had secretly orchestrated, and dealing with the mutinous soldiers was, in his view, a very simple matter.

The difficulty lies in destroying all the evidence from the past.

But then something truly jaw-dropping happened:

Zhao Qiyuan led the 13th Brigade (the 66th Division's 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment) to suppress the mutinous soldiers, but they were ambushed by the 185th Brigade halfway there. If it weren't for the armored company temporarily assigned to the 66th Division that helped break through the encirclement at the critical moment, the entire 13th Brigade would probably have been wiped out in the ambush.

Even so, the 37th Regiment under the 13th Brigade was almost completely wiped out, and the 38th Regiment suffered heavy losses. The two regiments combined were less than the original size of one regiment. As for the lost weapons and equipment, they were countless.

Zhao Qiyuan, who almost failed to escape the encirclement, could not believe what he was seeing. According to his plan, only a part of the 556th Regiment had actually mutinied. He had simply exaggerated the scale of the mutiny to cover up the fact that he had been paying salaries for no one.

But why did even the 554th Regiment mutiny?
Not only did they mutiny, but they also turned against him and ambushed Zhao Qiyuan, almost leaving him trapped in the encirclement.
Zhao Qiyuan, who fled back to Lanfeng in one breath, fell ill that very night, because whenever he closed his eyes, he could hear the sounds that filled the mountains and fields:
"We've captured the big tiger Zhao Qiyuan alive!"

……

The mutiny of the 66th Division's subordinate units initially caused a minor disturbance, but after the 13th Brigade suffered a major defeat, it turned into a hurricane that could not be suppressed.

Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Zheng Yaoxian and Mao Renfeng quietly approached Zheng Yaoquan.

Zheng Yaoxian got straight to the point: "Director, there's more to the story about the 66th Division than meets the eye."

"Hidden story? What happened?"

Zheng Yaoxian stammered, "According to intelligence from the 66th Division's inspection office, before the mutiny, a member of the Chen family secretly met with Zhao Qiyuan."

"besides……"

"Zhao Qiyuan received intelligence from Nanjing before the mutiny, saying..."

"They say the section chief intentionally used his head to establish his authority."

Zheng Yaoquan was stunned: "This idiot, he believed it?"

Zheng Yaoxian remained silent.

Because the answer is obvious:
He not only believed it, but he also did it.

"Male Gobi!"

Zheng Yaoquan cursed, but it was unclear who he was cursing at.

In fact, Zheng Yaoquan had known for a long time that the Chen family was involved in this matter, but at this point he was undoubtedly pretending to be ignorant.

So he then angrily exclaimed, "But why did it develop like this?!"

If the mutiny was intentionally controlled by Zhao Qiyuan, why did the 13th Brigade end up being surrounded while suppressing the rebellion?

This is a genuine question.

Logically speaking, this was clearly an act of coercing the department head, so why did it get out of control to this extent?
Zheng Yaoxian explained:
“185旅554团，13旅37团，这两支部队兵员缺额严重。”    郑耀全一愣：“我记得之前你提交的报告中，称哗变是从556团开始的对吧？怎么扯到554团和37团了？”

"After the 556th Regiment mutinied, before attacking the nearby 554th Regiment, the 554th Regiment responded to the mutiniing. Then, these two regiments were ordered to ambush the enemy. The 13th Brigade came to quell the rebellion and entered the ambush. The 38th Regiment could actually hold out, but the 37th Regiment collapsed completely."

Zheng Yaoxian said with an embarrassed expression:
"According to the report from the Henan station, the 37th and 554th Regiments, which are severely understaffed, are almost all emaciated. It is understood that these two units already have serious grievances, but in the past, the 38th and 556th Regiments have kept them in check, so they dare not act rashly."

"This time, the 556th Regiment was the first to mutini, which is why the 554th Regiment responded immediately, and the 37th Regiment turned against the enemy as soon as it realized it was surrounded."

Zheng Yaoquan was dumbfounded. He had seen people courting death, but he had never seen anyone courting death like this.

To put it simply, Zhao Qiyuan clearly messed things up!

"This is so unfair! One brigade has ruined the whole regiment!"

After angrily launching into a tirade, he muttered to himself in confusion, "That doesn't make sense either. How could the 185th Brigade have carried out an ambush without any organization? It seems they've really been heavily infiltrated by the Communists!"

Zheng Yaoquan was somewhat disappointed. If there were no traces of the Communist Party in this matter, he planned to subtly fabricate a report that the 66th Division was forced to mutini—in this way, the blame would naturally be shifted onto Zhang Anping.

Unfortunately, it's no longer possible.

As Zheng Yaoquan pondered how to submit the report, Mao Renfeng coughed and spoke:
"Commander, the 66th Division's inspector had received relevant information before the 185th Brigade's mutiny. The headquarters also sent capable officers to Henan. However... before the investigation could begin, the 185th Brigade mutinied. To repay the Party and the country's kindness, the inspector fought to the death against the chaotic troops and ultimately... ultimately died a heroic death."

Zheng Yaoquan looked at Mao Renfeng with a strange gaze, making Mao Renfeng's scalp tingle.

He angrily retorted, "Mao Renfeng, we're in the same boat! Tell the truth!"

Mao Renfeng's face fell, and she said bitterly:
"According to intelligence from the Henan Station, the 66th Division Inspector General was in cahoots with Zhao Qiyuan. He concealed a lot of intelligence about the 66th Division and did not report it. After this incident, he actually... actually tried to escape. He was captured by the Henan Station and has been secretly executed."

The inspector of the 66th Division was naturally one of Mao Renfeng's men.

In order to counter the powerful Zhang Anping, he accepted all kinds of mud and sand, and they all ended up under his name.

The inspector of the 66th Division is a typical example—if he hadn't embezzled a lot of intelligence, how could the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics have been completely clueless about the situation of the 66th Division?

Zheng Yaoquan finally understood why that bastard Mao Renfeng had come.

This is clearly asking me to clean up his mess!

Zheng Yaoquan glared at Mao Renfeng through gritted teeth:
"You bastard, do you even realize that this is all thanks to Zhang Anping!"

Mao Renfeng bowed his head with a bitter expression; of course he knew.

There was no other way; if this matter couldn't be covered up, Zhang Anping would definitely kill him.

He secretly gave Zheng Yaoxian a series of meaningful glances.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Yaoxian almost burst out laughing—Old Mao had paid a heavy price to come to him this time in order to cover up the truth!
Most importantly, he had been thinking of finding some reason to cover for Mao, but he never expected that Mao would actually come to him for help this time!

"Please calm down, Director. In fact, Deputy Director Mao already has a plan to deal with Zhang Anping."

Zheng Yaoquan glanced at Zheng Yaoxian with amusement, then feigned confusion and sent a signal:
"Ok?"

Mao Renfeng hurriedly said, "Director, the department has secretly ordered its capable officers to operate in the four detention camps. News should come in within the next few days."

Mao Renfeng never intended to expose this matter.

He wants to keep it a secret. When Zhang Anping wants to find out who did it, there will be three suspects.

But now, they have no choice but to lay their cards on the table.

"News? What news?"

Zheng Yaoquan pretended to be confused.

Mao Renfeng cursed inwardly, but on the surface he had to explain: "Zhang Anping was eager to make meritorious contributions and forced a meritorious soldier of the Party and the State to rebel!"

After giving Mao Renfeng, who had no moral bottom line, a deep look, Zheng Yaoquan said:

“Deputy Director Mao, you are a pillar of the Party and the country. In the future, don’t have such crooked thoughts. I can pretend I didn’t hear about this, but once I have evidence in my hands, don’t blame me, Zheng Yaoquan, for disregarding the friendship between colleagues!”

Mao Renfeng cursed angrily, "You damned Zheng Yaoquan, I'll remember this!"
He knew very well that this was a threat from Zheng Yaoquan—this leverage was now in Zheng Yaoquan's hands, and if Mao Renfeng didn't obey in the future, then he shouldn't blame Zheng Yaoquan for "finding evidence"!

But Mao Renfeng couldn't help but be moved to tears:

"I will forever remember the Director's life-saving grace! I will never forget it!"

Zheng Yaoquan waved his hand: "Go! Go and write a complete report on the mutiny of the 66th Division! I want to submit it to the adjutant's office."

"Yes!"

After the two left the office, Mao Renfeng said gratefully:
"Seventh Brother, if it weren't for you this time, I would have been in big trouble! I will never forget this kindness!"

Mao Renfeng had no choice but to involve Zheng Yaoxian in his cover this time, because Lanfeng was within the sphere of influence of the Henan station. If Zheng Yaoxian didn't cooperate, his cover would be useless.

He paid a heavy price for this.

But despite the cost, this mutiny was finally overcome without serious incident—the blame was shifted to the underground party!

Zheng Yaoquan, who was in the office, also revealed a playful expression at this moment.

"I didn't expect someone to be in such a hurry to clean up my mess, but I... am perfectly content to be the good guy!"

In fact, when the 66th Division mutinied, the Chen family rushed to him, demanding that the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics shift the blame for the 66th Division's mutiny onto the underground party.

For this, they even gave up the interests that Zheng Yaoquan envied.

Zheng Yaoquan was certainly tempted, but he dared not act openly—this matter involved Mao Renfeng, Zheng Yaoxian, and Zhang Anping. If he were to manipulate things behind the scenes and were discovered, it would be a huge disaster.

After all, he was the director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics!
So he just promised to try to find a solution.

Unexpectedly, the person who was finally summoned was Mao Renfeng, and Zheng Yaoxian was brought along as well—even if this caused a major incident, it would be the fault of Zheng Yaoxian and Mao Renfeng.

Zheng Yaoquan was simply deceived.

Wow, that's really satisfying!
……

In the small conference room, Zhang Anping was reviewing the investigation report on the mutiny of the 66th Division submitted by the Henan station.

In this investigation report, the blame was almost entirely placed on the underground party, and even the ambush that nearly wiped out the 13th Brigade was attributed to the underground party's rapid incorporation of the 185th Brigade.

That is indeed the case!
However, in the eyes of Mao Renfeng and Zheng Yaoquan, there was basically no trace of the underground party involved; it was purely Zhao Qiyuan's own doing.

Doesn't Zhang Anping know?
Just kidding, he was the one orchestrating this behind the scenes, how could he not know?
However, it is reasonable for him to "not know" now.

First, Henan Station was Zheng Yaoxian's territory, and the 66th Division was stationed in Lanfeng. It was impossible for him to bypass Zheng Yaoxian and get the information first.

Secondly, the reason he obtained intelligence about the 66th Division earlier was because he sent out a secret investigation team. However, after the "Sword Showdown" incident, the secret investigation team was isolated by the 66th Division, so it was reasonable that he could not receive the information.

Therefore, at this moment, he was seriously looking at the mutiny report issued by Zheng Yaoxian.

"Communist Party! Communist Party!"

Zhang Anping slammed the investigation report on the table in anger, his face grim as he said:

"Next, I hope to launch a large-scale investigation into the senior staff groups, inspection offices, and liaison officers throughout the National Revolutionary Army!"

"The tragedy of the 66th Division must never be repeated!"

Mao Renfeng asked, "Is Deputy Director Zhang personally in charge?"

This question left Zhang Anping speechless. Zheng Yaoxian chuckled and then volunteered:
"Director, I request to withdraw from the investigation team and take charge of the reorganization and training of the National Army's Internal Security Bureau."

Before Zheng Yaoquan became the director of the Bureau of Secrecy, Zhang Anping and Mao Renfeng joined forces to divide up the reorganized Bureau of Secrecy. Zheng Yaoquan was firmly kept in Henan and did not get any benefits from the reorganization.

The secret service within the Nationalist army continued the power distribution rules established by the two individuals.

Now, Zheng Yaoxian clearly intends to take advantage of this opportunity to extend his reach into this organization.

Faced with Zheng Yaoxian's outstretched hand, Mao Renfeng unexpectedly declared, "I agree!"

Zhang Anping looked puzzled, clearly surprised by Mao Renfeng's agreement, but after a moment's thought, he also said:
"I agree."

Zhang Anping's agreement was not unexpected by the three of them. He was now in an awkward position of trying to swallow an elephant. Since he couldn't take responsibility himself, it was better to bring in a third party than to let Mao Renfeng take charge.

“Alright, let’s do it that way then—Anping,” Zheng Yaoquan said gently, “This mutiny of the 66th Division has made our Bureau of Investigation and Statistics lose face. Even I, as the director, feel inferior when I go out. You are now in charge of the investigation of four detention camps, and there absolutely cannot be any more accidents in this area!”

Zhang Anping made a solemn statement:
“I will keep an eye on them—in fact, most of them are loyal to the Party and the State, that much is certain.”

"Only a small number of people were misled by the Communist Party during the training camp."

"I believe in their loyalty to the Party and the country."

Zheng Yaoquan picked up the investigation report from the table: "Then the meeting is adjourned. I'll go to the entourage's office and hand in this report."

After the meeting, Zheng Yaoquan went to the attendant's office, while Zhang Anping rushed to the airport to go to Wuhan.

Just as Zhang Anping's car left the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, Mao Renfeng arrived at Zheng Yaoxian's office and stood in a row with Zheng Yaoxian in front of the window, gazing at the departing car in the courtyard.

Mao Renfeng said thoughtfully, "I heard that Xu Baichuan came to Nanjing with him?"

"Yes, but the person has been at the airport the whole time."

"You're quite loyal," Mao Renfeng chuckled, then said sincerely, "Seventh Brother, I was able to get through this difficult time thanks to you!"

Zheng Yaoxian said with considerable pride:
"Old Mao, if you weren't going to bleed so much this time, I wouldn't be willing to do this!"

His smugness was an act, but his pride was genuine!
Old Mao, you never imagined that Anping was asking you to cover it up on purpose, did you?
Do you think such a huge piece of leverage only fell into Zheng Yaoquan's hands?
No, it also fell into Zhang Anping's hands—when he needs it, this leverage is enough to finish you off, Mao Renfeng!

Mao Renfeng laughed loudly: "Haha, I'd be happy to shed any amount of blood to get Lao Qi's help—there's something I need to trouble Lao Qi with."

Zheng Yaoxian raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Old Mao, you say so, but if it's something difficult, you know me, I won't do it without some benefit!"

Mao Renfeng sighed and said helplessly:
"It all comes down to misfortune for our family..."

He told the story in detail.

……

Before heading to the airport, Zhang Anping made a last-minute trip home to retrieve his luggage, which he had prepared in advance.

While getting her luggage, Zeng Moyi hugged Zhang Anping tightly, feigning reluctance, and whispered in his ear:
"News came from home that the 185th Brigade has finished its work, and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Soviet Area has sent troops to meet them."

Most of the inside story of the 185th Brigade uprising was as Zheng Yaoxian reported to Zheng Yaoquan, but the key information was incorrect.

Because when Zhao Qiyuan was secretly plotting the mutiny of the 556th Regiment, someone secretly contacted the 556th and 554th Regiments and exposed Zhao Qiyuan's wolfish ambitions.

Zhao Qiyuan wanted to use the 556th Regiment to mutiny because the 554th Regiment had been really bullied by him, and he was worried that he might do something that would backfire.

Therefore, the 556th Regiment was chosen as the target of the mutiny. The 554th Regiment, which had been bullied for so long, was definitely not combat-ready. After the 13th Brigade finished off the mutiny, the two regiments could be rebuilt. At that time, the elite troops would be evenly distributed, and the hole of empty pay would be easily filled.

However, the 556th Regiment did not fare well in this way. After the officers of the 556th Regiment, who were kept in the dark, learned the truth, they were furious at Zhao Qiyuan's disgusting methods and completely lost faith in the National Army.

As the saying goes, once the thought of joining the Communist Party arises, one suddenly feels the vastness of the world!

After discussing it, they decided to catch Zhao Qiyuan off guard and vent their anger!
Zhao Qiyuan thought he had everything under control, but he ended up sending his men to their deaths. He was almost captured alive by the 185th Brigade, which resented him.

The 185th Brigade's ambush of the 13th Brigade, which was "suppressing the rebellion," was a complete break with the past. The next step was to withdraw with the support troops sent by the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Soviet Area.

The uprising of the 185th Brigade not only made the reorganized 66th Division a laughing stock, but also completely shelved the Nationalist army's operational plan to annihilate the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army. At the same time, the main force of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army, at the cost of 3500 casualties, annihilated nearly 20,000 troops, including the reorganized 3rd Division, and shattered the Nationalist army's pincer attack on Hebei-Shandong-Henan!
The pincer attack that had just been crushed was followed by a fire in their own backyard, making it impossible for the Nationalist army to fight back. They had no choice but to abandon their operations against the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Soviet Area.

Zhang Anping smiled, having stumbled upon a lucky coincidence, and whispered in Zeng Moyi's ear:
"From now on, it will be called the Liberated Area!"

"Our army will henceforth be called the People's Liberation Army!"

Just before this, Zhang Anping received intelligence that the Liberation Daily had used the term "People's Liberation Army" for the first time in an editorial!
From then on, the Soviet area became the liberated area.

As time went on, the liberated areas were quickly connected, which also meant the rapid collapse of the Nationalist government's rule!
Zeng Moyi murmured softly:
"The People's Liberation Army..."

At that moment, her eyes were filled with light. (End of Chapter)
