Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

After finishing all this, Qian Yu rushed over with the transport team.

Because there were a lot of materials to be transported this time, Kong Hao spent a lot of money. He gathered a large number of coachmen and carriages at the cost of one dollar per person, just to transport these equipment back quickly.

He also asked the arsenal to send troops to meet them along the way through the radio, mainly because the supplies were too important and there could not be any mistakes in the transportation, otherwise the Eighth Route Army would suffer heavy losses.

Of course, after this operation, the Logistics Department, the Arsenal and the Taiyue Military Region were in chaos again.

But everyone is enjoying it, feeling both pain and happiness.

If they could receive so many supplies every day, I guess even if Brigade Commander Chen and Minister Zhang were asked to drive the carts themselves, they would be happy to do it.

After Kong Hao had transported all the supplies away, he was completely relieved. Now that he was free of any burden, he could focus all his attention on the next task.

With the special pass in his hand, he brought the special forces members and their weapons into Yangquan County, and they lay in ambush in the secret base found by Qian Yu, waiting for the next action.

There are two missions this time. One is to rescue our arrested comrades, and the other is to eliminate traitors.

After Qian Yu's extensive investigation, he finally confirmed that a courier named Liu Ergou was secretly captured by the Japanese and eventually betrayed the Japanese, causing heavy losses to Yangquan's entire transportation network.

However, Liu Ergou is now under joint protection of the Military Police Headquarters and the Special High Section, and his residence is very secretive, so he cannot be found in a short period of time.

"Captain Kong, this is the distribution map of the Japanese prison in Yangquan City. It was passed on by our insider. Our comrades are all imprisoned in the innermost area."

"There are more than 30 guards in this prison. There are two light machine guns on the guard tower, and the rest are equipped with rifles and pistols."

"That's not a big deal, but not far from the prison, there's a puppet army camp with a full battalion of troops."

"Although these weaklings have low combat effectiveness and very poor fighting will, they are numerous. A battalion of troops has at least 300 people. They can definitely hold us back while we wait for reinforcements from other places to come and encircle and suppress us."

"This rescue operation is too dangerous. I will suggest to my superiors to cancel the operation and wait until the Japanese martial law is over."

After hearing this, Kong Hao quickly shook his head and said seriously:

"Since you are here, you must complete the task before leaving."

“As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.”

"Our special forces team was formed specifically for this kind of thing. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"It will take a few days for the Japanese special envoy to arrive. I will go to the city to find out the relevant situation. After I am sure of the situation, I will formulate a relevant action plan."

In the next few days, Kong Hao divided the special forces into groups and dispersed them into the city for reconnaissance.

This is a basic skill necessary for special warfare operations. Although Kong Hao had received relevant training before, he had never experienced actual combat. Now is the perfect time for him to put it into practice.

Each group would stroll around the city with a purpose during the day and draw a simple map that was accurate to every street. They would return to their base at night and summarize all the information.

Then, based on the findings, the next battle plan was formulated. During this period, everyone had heated arguments due to different opinions.

Kong Hao did not stop them and let the team members play freely. Finally, after everyone discussed a specific action plan, he would check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

Fortunately, the relevant identity documents were all handled by Qian Yu through an insider, so there would basically be no major problems.

Yangquan is a big city with a large population and a relatively prosperous economy. There is a large floating population and the Japanese's management is not that strict, which makes it convenient for the special forces' operations.

Two days later, Kong Hao was drinking tea at a place called Qingfeng Teahouse. He found a private room facing the street and by the window, always observing the situation on the street and at the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters opposite.

Just as he was watching intently, there was a knock on the door, and after getting permission, two people walked in.

"Mr. Kong, it's really you. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"It's Madam Yan, why are you here?"

Looking at the somewhat nervous Kong Hao, Zhou Zhilan said with a smile:

"This Qingfeng Inn is owned by my family. Just now when I was entertaining friends, Xiao Cui accidentally saw you over here, so I hurried over."

So that's what was happening. After hearing this, Kong Hao took out his hand from his pocket that was groping for a gun.

Then, the two sat down and chatted together.

"Mr. Kong, is there anything I can help you with during your visit to Yangquan?"

"I have not yet repaid you for saving my life last time. Don't worry, our Yan family still has a lot of businesses in several nearby counties, and people from all walks of life will give me some face."

Kong Hao also felt that giving the troops an additional channel to purchase supplies was not a bad thing.

After all, fighting the Japanese is the responsibility of all Chinese people. We must unite all the forces that can be united, and everyone should contribute money and manpower.

"Mrs. Yan, I really need your help with something."

"I need 1000 kilograms of cotton, 500 pieces of cotton cloth, 20 kilograms of grain, and various daily necessities. Of course, we will pay according to the market price."

After all, this is the first time for both parties to cooperate, so let’s first see the strength of the Yan family. If it is really suitable, Kong Hao doesn’t mind supporting them.

After hearing these things, Zhou Zhilan agreed without thinking.

"Mr. Kong, you need so many supplies. Are you from there?"

After she finished speaking, she looked around and made an eight-character gesture with her hand towards Kong Hao.

The reason for asking this was mainly because the Yan family had basically had contact with the nearby Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and knew their moral character.

After all, it is rare to find people in this world who can remain unmoved by the temptation of 2000 oceans.

At first Zhou Zhilan thought Kong Hao was playing hard to get and was after the Yan family's huge fortune, but a few days passed and Kong Hao didn't come to visit, as if he really didn't take it seriously.

She has been in the business world for so many years, and she has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts and has her own set of criteria for judgment.

If things had gone as they had in the past, this Mr. Kong in front of him would have wanted to make bigger plans. After getting the token, he would have definitely been eager to go to the Yan family and try to find a way to establish a relationship with her.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zhilan waited and waited at home, but there was no news at all. If the maid Xiao Cui had not seen them by accident, the two would never have met.

The most important thing is that the Qingfeng Teahouse is secretly controlled by the Yan family. Most people don’t know that this is her property, so there is no such thing as someone waiting for her here on purpose.

After figuring this out, she deliberately tried to find out the other party's identity.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Kong Hao could only nod imperceptibly.

Zhou Zhilan understood that this was indeed the Eighth Route Army's style of doing things, benevolent and righteous, doing favors without expecting anything in return.

"Mr. Kong, don't worry, I will provide you with these supplies at cost price."

"You Eighth Route Army soldiers are all great. You are absolutely decisive in fighting the Japanese invaders."

"Before, I also wanted to provide various supplies to the Eighth Route Army, but I just had no way to do it. Now, I can completely use you, my lifesaver, to help me make a connection."

"To be honest, I also transported supplies to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's defense zone last time, hoping to make some contribution to the war of resistance."
