Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 864: 9 Longshan was ambushed

After talking for a few words, Ma Mingyuan took the initiative to leave.

Lin Ze looked at his back and thought that this person could be won over and used, but he could only be lured with benefits, not driven by righteousness. If there was anything that required his presence in the future, he could just let Nan Yuntaku contact him and give him a hint.

This kind of judgment is made in a moment.

As for whether there will be mistakes, for someone of Lin Ze's status, if there are mistakes, then so be it, and it will not cause any serious consequences.

................

When the train arrived at Datong, the passengers got off and then changed to another narrow-gauge train and continued south.

Zhou Xuejin looked at the scenery outside the window, still feeling a little confused.

Suddenly, Mr. Lin sent a telegram from southern Shanxi, saying that Yuancheng Salt Company was well managed and had made remarkable achievements. In order to reorganize the salt industry in Tianjin for the sake of the North China Development Corporation, he requested to send people to learn.

Just send people. The North China Development Corporation does have business in the Changlu Salt Field, so just send a few responsible persons there. However, Zhou Xuejin never expected that the higher-ups would ask him to go to southern Shanxi as well.

As the person in charge of the port construction site, what does this have to do with the salt industry?

Could it be that Master Lin plans to arrange for him to work in Changlu in the future?

The people who went to Yuancheng together were not familiar to Zhou Xuejin, and he was not the type to like chatting with others, so he simply closed his eyes and rested along the way.

When they arrived in Yuancheng, Lin Ze hosted a banquet to welcome them at the Salt Merchants General Administration.

That night, Zhou Xuejin found Lin Ze and asked him about his doubts, "Master Lin, I know nothing about the salt industry. Even if I watch and learn closely, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get started for a while."

Lin Ze smiled and said, "Xue Jin, Yuancheng is a good place, not worse than Tianjin. You can learn more than just knowledge about the salt industry."

Zhou Xuejin was shocked. What did Master Lin mean by this?

Is Yuancheng a good place? South of here, there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the south. A few hundred kilometers northwest of here is the famous Yancheng. The entire Shanxi Province has become the biggest obstacle to the Japanese's security plan. Why does Master Lin say this is a good place?

Zhou Xuejin and his group stayed there to rest that night. The next day, Hua Gu Zheng arranged for them to follow Nan Yun Takuya to inspect the salt.

This time, the inspection was to be of the transportation route heading east along Zhongtiaoshan North Road. The Salt Company prepared three vehicles, and the gendarmerie also sent people to accompany them under the arrangement of Hua Gu Zheng.

Tomi Takeuchi has already dispatched a joint defense team, and they will open fire once the patrol team is more than ten kilometers out of the city.

Of course, they mainly fired blanks. At most, they would find a few people with good shooting skills to shoot a few shots at the tires, but they were absolutely not allowed to shoot at the body of the car. These people came from Peking and Tianjin. Everyone was aware of the reputation of the North China Development Corporation. If someone was really hurt, it would be no joke.

..............

There are two main routes for Yuanyan to go south. The western route is from Fengling Ferry across Henan, and the eastern route is from Maojin Ferry across Henan, then it is loaded onto trucks in Mianchi and sold all over the country.

To get from Yuancheng to Maojindu, one must pass through Jiulong Mountain, where guerrillas and bandits often appear.

There is a dilapidated temple in Wujiazui, Jiulong Mountain.

A dozen men wearing blue coarse cloth clothes with patches on top of patches gathered together.

The leader was a man in his twenties, tall and strong, with a square face and a very heroic look.

"Comrades, we've received news that people from the Salt Company are coming out today to survey the salt transportation routes. This is a good opportunity for us. If we can kill a few of them, it will greatly deter the Japanese and traitors."

Everyone nodded.

"The salt company is owned by the Japanese. They paid for the military police to replace their equipment. They are our enemy! Captain, just give the orders. None of us brothers are cowards. We went up the mountain because we couldn't eat before. Now that we have your job, we naturally have to obey your orders!"

"That's right! None of us are cowards! Let's show the devils some color!"

"Alright! Comrades, listen to me. We're still going to ambush you this time. Remember, the gendarmerie will send people to protect the salt company. They'll either lead the way or cover the rear. Bullets are precious, so aim carefully before shooting. You must obey orders and wait until the enemy approaches before shooting. If anything unexpected happens, follow my orders and evacuate in time. Don't fight! After evacuating, we'll each go up the mountain and hide there. We'll meet here again in two days. Do you understand?"

"Listen clearly!"

............

"Nanyun-kun, you said Hanaya-kun is from Tokyo?"

At this time, the salt patrol team had already left the city.

Zhou Xuejin and Nan Yuntuo were riding in the same car. Since Xiao Zhou was also a "senior executive" of the North China Development Corporation, Nan Yuntuo was very polite to him.

The two chatted along the way, and when he heard Nanyun Takuya say that a young man from Tokyo had come to Yuancheng, he became alert.

So, this Hua Gu Zheng was sent by the Japanese base camp, but why did the Japanese base camp send people to Yuancheng?

The first thing Zhou Xuejin thought about was whether they were going to launch another large-scale raid on the red zone.

But on second thought, even if that's the case, it has nothing to do with Yuancheng!

He met Hua Gu Zheng last night and felt that this man did not look like a military officer. Could he be... a spy?

Zhou Xuejin calmly asked Nan Yuntuoye to introduce the situation here, but Nan Yuntuoye kept talking about how well their salt company was doing and how much profit it made, which annoyed Xiao Zhou.

"Manager Zhou, Commander Lin told me that the North China Development Corporation is also planning to expand into the Changlu Salt Field. If there's anything I can do to help..."

Zhou Xuejin understood his thoughts. No matter how good Yuancheng was, it was definitely not as good as Pingjin. Nan Yuntuo also wanted to go to Tianjin.

Just as I was about to answer him perfunctorily, I suddenly heard a gunshot!

Then gunshots rang out everywhere.

A team of military police leading the way were riding sidecar motorcycles. One of the Japanese soldiers leading the team thought to himself, "Captain arranged for you to act out a show, and you made it quite realistic. You even specially found a mountain area to set an ambush, right?"

A bullet whizzed past his face. The Japanese soldier was scared to death. Suddenly he realized something was wrong and quickly jumped out of the car to hide.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! This is not the agreed location. These are not our people, they are guerrillas!"

It turned out that the Japs were not prepared for battle at all. They were all lazy and just thought of going out for some fresh air.

When suddenly attacked, I was completely stunned and had no idea how many enemies there were or where they were.

When the guerrillas on the mountain saw this, they realized that the Japanese devils’ fighting ability was not good enough!

So they fought even harder, and the captain, in a hurry, shouted, "Don't fire randomly, save your bullets!"

Zhou Xuejin hunched over in the car with a bitter look on his face. How could this happen?

The entire attack lasted only a dozen minutes. Six Japanese soldiers who were clearing the way were killed, and then the gunfire on the mountain stopped. It was not known whether they ran out of bullets or simply retreated.

Nanyun Takuya came to his senses and shouted, "Turn around, turn around, go back quickly!"
