Chapter 373 We already knew about this
After listening to the information Huang Haode told him, Xing Zhiguo's expression became serious.

Because Qin Yangming only briefly told Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and other regiment commanders about the affairs of the Military Control Commission, and Li Yunlong was not on Xing Zhiguo's side.

Therefore, Xing Zhiguo naturally had no idea that the Military Control Commission had gathered bandits and was preparing to seize the county seat of Ping'an County first and use it to disrupt the Eighth Route Army's plan.

"If you didn't lie, then you have indeed made a contribution with this intelligence."

After Xing Zhiguo pondered the information given by Huang Haode, he looked at Huang Haode with expectation on his face and gave Huang Haode the answer he wanted.

Listening to Xing Zhiguo's words, Huang Haode quickly made an assurance.

"Sir, don't worry, my information is correct. I can guarantee it with my head. If what I said is false, you don't need to do anything, I will chop off my own head!"

Huang Haode patted his chest and made a promise to Xing Zhiguo confidently.

Seeing Huang Haode being so confident and thinking about the information Huang Haode had said, Xing Zhiguo began to wonder how to ask Huang Haode about the source of the information.

Although Huang Haode’s information is very important, and Huang Haode also made a very important promise.

But when it comes to intelligence, it doesn't mean that others have to believe you just because you say it.

Especially since Huang Haode was a puppet soldier and a speculator.

Even if Huang Haode said he would use his life as a guarantee, Xing Zhiguo would never directly believe Huang Haode's information.

What if Huang Haode's intelligence was wrong, and Xing Zhiguo happened to believe it, and it caused irreparable losses to the Eighth Route Army, it would be a big trouble.

Even if the intelligence was sent back by the Eighth Route Army's intelligence personnel, the Eighth Route Army had to check it to confirm its authenticity. It was not that they did not trust the intelligence personnel, but they were worried that the information they received was problematic and that they had misrepresented the intelligence.

Even the intelligence passed back by the Eighth Route Army intelligence personnel needed to be confirmed, not to mention the puppet army prisoners of war like Huang Haode who had just surrendered.

Even though Huang Haode patted his chest and swore confidently and used his own life as a guarantee, it was hard not to believe him.

But Xing Zhiguo dared to guarantee that Huang Haode was definitely the kind of person who would pat his chest and swear confidently that he would destroy the Eighth Route Army in front of the Japanese.

So just listen to Huang Haode’s assurance, don’t really believe it. Anyone who believes it is an idiot.

Therefore, Xing Zhiguo had to confirm the authenticity of the information, and at least know how Huang Haode, a puppet army platoon leader, knew this information.

What? Having a friend who is also a bandit? That's really bullshit.

"Huang Haode, tell me in detail, how did you know this information? Intelligence needs to be verified.

It is impossible that we, the Eighth Route Army, will believe everything you say.

And it involves intelligence from the Military Control Commission. Tell me, how did you know this information? Tell me in detail from beginning to end.

Don't make excuses like you have a friend. That kind of talk is the least believable.

Tell the truth, and I promise to give you credit for your contribution of this intelligence."

When Huang Haode heard Xing Zhiguo's question, he immediately realized that Xing Zhiguo did not believe him.

Seeing that Xing Zhiguo didn't believe it, Huang Haode became a little embarrassed.

His information was indeed true, but he was just a small platoon leader of a puppet army. He became the platoon leader of the puppet army only after the previous platoon leader and his men defected to the Eighth Route Army.

Huang Haode couldn't read a single word. It was indeed difficult for him to understand Xing Zhiguo's meaning and to explain things according to Xing Zhiguo's instructions.

It's like asking a kid who got 100 points in elementary school math to write college-level advanced mathematics. It's almost impossible to accomplish.

And most importantly, the source of the information Huang Haode obtained was something that was not convenient to talk about. If he told these things, Huang Haode could not guarantee that the Eighth Route Army officer in front of him would still treat him so politely.

Xing Zhiguo looked at Huang Haode's face full of confusion and embarrassment, and guessed something in his mind.

"It seems that you are not educated enough to understand what I am saying, or there are some things that are inconvenient to say..."

Xing Zhiguo figured out what Huang Haode was thinking at a glance.

In order to let Huang Haode feel at ease to tell the truth, Xing Zhiguo spoke to comfort him.

"Huang Haode, don't worry, as long as you haven't done anything harmful to the world, you can tell me everything else without worrying about it.

We in the Eighth Route Army do not engage in the practice of settling scores after the event.

And even if you don't tell us those things, we will still investigate it later and verify your identities.

If you speak out now, or if you conceal it, the treatment you receive after our investigation will be different.”

"Don't worry about it, just say whatever comes to your mind, and tell us how and why you know the news.

you do not need to worry. "

Xing Zhiguo briefly told Huang Haode about the policies of the Eighth Route Army and promised that he would not be held accountable later.

As long as Huang Haode himself has not done anything against the law.

Huang Haode listened to Xing Zhiguo's words and thought for a while.

"This shouldn't be a big deal for the Eighth Route Army, right? After all, I'm not reselling the Eighth Route Army's supplies.
Besides, this was done by the people above. If I tell it out, maybe I can get credit for it.

Things that are against the will of heaven and earth... At most, I have mentioned tolls, robbing chickens and ducks, eating without paying... Going to brothels, these things, everyone has done, and they are not serious problems."

Huang Haode was willing to surrender with the One-Eyed Dragon rather than fight to the death with the Japanese devils, so it is natural that he would not have done anything against the law.

Moreover, he was just an ordinary puppet army soldier not long ago. Even if he wanted to do something against the law or kill the Eighth Route Army, it would not be the turn of a small soldier like him.

After figuring this out, Huang Haode immediately spoke to Xing Zhiguo.

"Sir, this is what happened.

The locust army in Ping'an County..."

"Um?!"

"No, no, no, sir, the highest ranking officer of the Japanese in Ping'an County is called Heishan Kumamoto.

Although this guy is the highest-ranking official of the Japanese, he is extremely greedy for money, not just ordinary greed.

Originally, Ping'an County was a commercial route, and a lot of tolls were collected every day.

But the Japanese devil Kumamoto was not satisfied with this little money and wanted more money.

So the Japanese guy Kumamoto from Montenegro started to think about reselling military supplies.

Originally, Ping'an County stored a batch of weapons and equipment left over by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

In order to make money, the Japanese devil Kumamoto sold this batch of weapons and equipment directly on the black market.

However, Heishanxiong was originally a Japanese soldier, so it was not easy for him to sell the weapons on the black market. The people responsible for selling the weapons and equipment were us puppet soldiers.

Those who purchased these weapons and equipment included the Eighth Route Army from Ping'an County, and the largest number of buyers came from the bandits in Ping'an County.

Especially the bandits in Heiyun Village bought the most.

At that time, I was stationed in a watchtower near Heiyun Village.

Every time weapons were delivered to Heiyun Village, they would pass by our artillery tower.

Then the people in our artillery tower also got involved.

Over time, we came into contact with the bandits in Heiyun Village.

Before I was transferred to Dongzhang River, I was selling a batch of bullets to Heiyun Village.

The person in charge of taking over the bullets was Shanmao, the second in command of Heiyun Village.

Bobcat and I had a few drinks. That guy couldn't drink much, so I got him drunk.

Shanmao said that some time ago, some people from the Military Control Commission went up the mountain and wanted to recruit the bandits from their Heiyun Village.

And they also offered a very high price.

I heard from Shanmao that the people from the Military Control Commission not only want to recruit the bandits in Heiyun Village, but also want to recruit all the bandits in the entire Ping'an County.

It seems like they are going to be reorganized into some kind of National Salvation Army?

Shanmao said that the Military Control Commission wanted to recruit all these bandits, directly occupy the county seat of Ping'an County, and then cause trouble for the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, the people from the Military Intelligence Bureau seemed to have some relationship with the Japanese, because Shanmao said that the Military Intelligence Bureau did not want them to attack Ping'an County by force, but had other ways to help them easily take Ping'an County.

It’s just that the Black Cloud Village offered a price of a colonel as a regiment commander, so the Military Control Commission has not agreed yet and is still considering it.

But that happened a few days ago. By this time, those bandits should have agreed to be incorporated into the Military Control Commission.

Because I got the news that during this period of time, many bandits from other places have been sneaking towards the location of Black Cloud Village."

Huang Haode told everything he knew and some of the things he guessed in one breath, then looked at Xing Zhiguo, waiting for Xing Zhiguo's judgment.

Listening to the news Huang Haode said, I saw that Huang Haode spoke in an orderly manner and there was nothing wrong with his expression.

Xing Zhiguo immediately believed half of what Huang Haode said.

"It looks like Huang Haode's information is true. No, I have to inform the leader immediately!"

Thinking of the impact of the information Huang Haode said on the Eighth Route Army, especially the fact that the Military Control Commission gathered bandits to cause trouble for the Eighth Route Army, Xing Zhiguo became a little anxious.

"Okay, I get it, Huang Haode. If your information is correct, I promise to give you credit. If you want to go back to your hometown to farm, it will be fine as long as your identity is confirmed.

Then my independent group will personally clear your name."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!"

Huang Haode was filled with joy as he listened to Xing Zhiguo's words.

Unlike Huang Haode who was full of joy, Xing Zhiguo's face was full of worry.

All the bandits in Ping'an County add up to at least two thousand people.

If these bandits, the Military Control Commission, the Japanese devils, and the puppet army collude with each other, it will definitely bring great trouble to the Eighth Route Army.

Especially now he is planning to use Murakuchi Saburo and Qingquan Muyi to capture Qin Yangming of Ping'an County.

This is also a big trouble for Qin Yangming.

If a new force suddenly emerges and attacks the Vanguard Group from behind while Qin Yangming is trying to capture the county seat of Ping'an County, the Vanguard Group will be in big trouble.

"Damn it! If the Military Control Commission really dares to do this, I will kill all the Military Control Commission members in Ping'an County at all costs!"

Thinking of what those people from the Military Control Commission had done, Xing Zhiguo looked towards the direction of Ping'an County with a face full of anger.

At the beginning, when Xing Zhiguo was still the battalion commander, his partner, the instructor, fell into the hands of the Military Control Commission. He was captured by the Military Control Commission and then brutally killed.

Thanks to Li Yunlong, who was located in the direction of Ping'an County, the Dongzhang River stronghold, he also launched an attack.

The Japanese stronghold, which had already been bombed into ruins, could not withstand the two-pronged attack of the Eighth Route Army.

After several puppet soldiers climbed down the bridge and removed all the explosives installed by the Japanese, Xing Zhiguo led his troops across the bridge quickly and successfully met up with Li Yunlong.

"Quick, send a telegram to the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment and tell them to cross the bridge immediately. The rest of you should wipe out the remaining enemies as soon as possible!"

On the hill behind the Dongzhanghe stronghold, Li Yunlong was calling on the telegraph operators he brought with him to send a message to the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment, asking the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment to cross the bridge quickly and prepare to launch an attack on the Japanese's Zhangzhuang stronghold.

"Send a telegram to Qin Yangming and tell him that we have successfully captured the Dongzhang River stronghold and the Dongzhang River Bridge is intact. It is expected that in an hour, the independent regiment and the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment will be able to successfully pass through the Dongzhang River Bridge and enter the Ping'an County area.

If everything goes well, the troops will launch an attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold half an hour after crossing the bridge, that is, at six o'clock.

If it rains, the independent regiment will ensure that the Zhangzhuang stronghold is captured before eight o'clock!
Tell Qin Yangming to attack Ping'an County without worry. I promise that I will not let the Zhangzhuang stronghold affect the progress of the vanguard group's attack on Ping'an County.

Even if I, Li Yunlong, die on the road, I will lead my troops to Ping'an County in the early hours of the morning!"

"Yes!"

Under the operation of the telegraph operator, the high-power radio brought by the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment quickly transmitted Li Yunlong's words through wireless signals and sent them to all directions.

"Captain, Captain, there is an important situation!"

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Xing Zhiguo rushed to his side.

Without waiting for Li Yunlong to speak, Xing Zhiguo quickly told Li Yunlong the news he had just received from Huang Haode.

"Captain, please tell Captain Qin this news as soon as possible. I'm worried that Captain Qin doesn't know the situation and will be tricked by the Military Control Commission.

Suffer a great loss! "

Xing Zhiguo's face was full of anxiety.

When Li Yunlong saw Xing Zhiguo's anxious face, he initially thought it was something important or an unexpected situation.

But after Xing Zhiguo finished explaining the matter, Li Yunlong was no longer so anxious.

"Hahaha, Old Xing, don't worry. We already knew about this. Huzi, Huzi, show the telegram sent by Captain Qin to Deputy Captain Xing and tell him not to worry so much."

Listening to Li Yunlong's words, Xing Zhiguo took several telegrams from Li Yunlong's personal bodyguard, Hu Zi, with some confusion.
