Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 16 Improved Flying Thunder Cannon, formally establishes relationship with the Eighth Route Army, and meets Li Yunlong

Liuzhuang stronghold.

It was as lively as the New Year at this moment. The puppet soldiers in various strongholds rushed to transport the Feitianfen in their hands and kept saying nice things to Xu Yang, hoping that he could sell it to them first.

People who don’t know might think that you can make a lot of money by selling fertilizer powder.

In fact, for every bag of fertilizer powder they sell, they will lose a quarter of the money for that bag, but if they cannot sell it, they will lose 1% of the money.

They are still very clear about how to settle this account.

Xu Yang successfully controlled the sales of fertilizer powder, and the puppet soldiers under his command also became popular and became the objects of flattery from various puppet soldiers.

One by one, they were flattered, received tips, smoked cigarettes, and made a lot of money. For the first time, they felt like they were superior to others. They were almost floating on the surface and forgot their own last names.

Xu Yang handed the task of receiving the goods to Ma Tong, ordering him to liaise with the various puppet troops and record the accounts, while he himself became a hands-off boss.

Anyway, the Eighth Route Army will come to collect it when the time comes. He doesn't need to do anything. He can earn 35% profit just by selling it in the middle.

This money can be used to purchase other supplies, or directly donated to the Eighth Route Army to aid the war of resistance, or used to enhance the strength of the security team and accumulate strength for future uprisings.

suddenly.

A long-lost system prompt sound came into Xu Yang's mind.

"Ding! It is detected that the host assisted the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in successfully annihilating the Yamazaki Battalion. A special reward is 400 meters of 100mm diameter seamless Laiyang steel pipe, 1 electric welder, 10 boxes of welding rods; 1 cutting machine, 10 titanium alloy saw blades; 1 angle grinder, 5 titanium alloy saw blades, and 5 grinding wheels."

Xu Yang looked puzzled: "When did I assist the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in attacking the Yamazaki Battalion?"

"System prompt: If the host kills the enemy without revealing his identity, or friendly forces use the intelligence, weapons and equipment, and other supplies provided by the host to kill the enemy, it can also be counted as participating in the battle and obtain random rewards."

"I see."

Xu Yang suddenly realized that, to put it simply, as long as he killed the Japanese, he would be rewarded.

"Seamless Laiyang steel pipes, cutting machines, angle grinders, aren't these the perfect materials for making flying thunder cannons?"

Xu Yang has participated in the filming of hundreds of anti-Japanese war dramas, so he is naturally familiar with the flying thunder cannon.

Historically, the flying thunder cannon was made by modifying a gasoline barrel. The lid of the gasoline barrel was cut off and used as the barrel, which was then loaded with propellant and explosive packs to become a simple and crude cannon.

When launching, the bottom needs to be placed against a hard object and buried in the soil to relieve the force.

The caliber of the oil barrel is the same as the caliber of the flying thunder cannon. The weight of the explosive package launched is generally more than 10 kilograms, and it is extremely powerful.

However, this thing is called a cannon, but in fact it is just a bomb launcher.

Because gasoline barrels have no rifling, it is impossible to determine the launch trajectory of the explosive pack, and sometimes it will even explode on one's own people.

In addition, the strength of the gasoline barrel is limited, and it may explode if not handled properly, so it is also called a conscienceless cannon, and it all depends on your luck!

Although this thing is not very reliable, it has great destructive power. For the Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army, which lack heavy firepower weapons, it is undoubtedly a magic weapon, and it once shined in the War of Liberation.

Seamless Laiyang steel pipes are far superior to gasoline barrels in terms of air tightness and strength. This means that the flying thunder cannon made from seamless Laiyang steel pipes is far superior to gasoline barrels in terms of range and reliability.

……

a few days later.

Li Yunlong and Liang Kang led the independent regiment, as well as a large number of villagers from the base area, and came to the Liuzhuang stronghold again.

Thousands of common people lined up to buy fertilizer powder, it was as lively as if they were attending a temple fair.

Li Yunlong still transformed into an attendant, following Liang Kang to the reception room of the base, paying, and discussing the next business cooperation. Xu Yang handed the task of accounting to Ma Tong, and then chatted with Liang Kang.

Liang Kang said: "I didn't expect that Captain Xu, you gave us another big surprise this time, and actually transferred more than 500 tons of fertilizer powder.

Fortunately, we made preparations in advance and hired a large number of laborers, otherwise we would not be able to transport all of them at once."

Xu Yang said confidently: "It's no big deal. As long as the devils continue to produce fertilizer powder, I will have a steady supply of goods."

"Oh? Really?"

Liang Kang was shocked. He did not expect Xu Yang to have such great power. You know, the other party was just a small security team captain, only at the first level.

The other puppet troops, even at the battalion level, only had 20 to 30 tons of fertilizer powder at most, which was completely not on the same level as Xu Yang.

Little did he know that Xu Yang had monopolized all supplies of fertilizer powder near Yangquan.

Xu Yang asked in return: "Isn't the goods in my hand the best proof?"

Liang Kang: “That’s true.”

Xu Yang seemed to have thought of something, and said, "By the way, the fact that fertilizer powder can be made into high explosives must be kept strictly confidential.

Otherwise, once the devils find out, they won’t sell it anymore.”

Liang Kang: "Of course, this matter has been classified as our top secret, and only a very small number of people know about it."

After a pause, Liang Kang asked again in confusion: "Captain Xu, you sold such important intelligence and supplies to us, aren't you afraid that the Japanese will find out and persecute you?"

Xu Yang said solemnly: "I am afraid, of course I am afraid; but I am more afraid that my country and nation will not be able to survive this difficult time.

I have the same heart as you, and the same goal as you, we are comrades!
It’s just that the paths we choose are different.

In fact, I was an underground party member developed by Mr. Haiou, but before I could join the party, Mr. Haiou was persecuted by the Japanese devils, and I lost contact with the organization because no one else knew my identity except Mr. Haiou.

But no matter what, I will continue to complete the mission that Mr. Seagull has not yet completed!"

In order to completely gain the trust of the Eighth Route Army and facilitate their assistance, Xu Yang made up a false identity for himself. Of course, this Mr. Seagull really existed.

Liang Kang knew Mr. Seagull, of course, and was immediately overjoyed: "I had guessed that Captain Xu, you were one of us. Now it seems that my suspicion was correct!"

The follower behind him frowned and cursed directly: "Xu Yang, you bastard, since you are our comrade, why do you sell Feitian powder so expensively? You are even cheating us!"

Xu Yang had long seen that this follower's identity was not simple, at least not inferior to the person in front of him, so he asked curiously: "Who is this?"

Liang Kang looked at his follower, and after getting the other's approval, he said, "I'm really sorry that I haven't introduced myself to you, Captain Xu. My surname is Liang and my given name is Kang. I'm the staff officer of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. This is our commander, Li Yunlong."

Xu Yang looked at Li Yunlong carefully and said, "Is he the Li Yunlong who boasted that he was a famous handsome young man in the surrounding area and the matchmakers who came to propose marriage almost broke the door to his house?

You have a chamber pot head, and you still have the nerve to brag about yourself like this? If you don't know, you would think that your surname is Wang, and you like to brag about yourself."

This information was only circulated within the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

After hearing Xu Yang's ridicule, Li Yunlong became more certain of the other party's identity. Otherwise, even the Japanese intelligence personnel would not be able to know this.

"Ahem!" Li Yunlong coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then said, "Boy, you haven't answered my question yet!"
