Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

After doing all this, Lin Qiang came to the front of the train and said to the team members, "You go and meet up first. I'll talk to him for a few words."

"Yes!"

After the team members left, Lin Qiang put on a kind face and said, "Old man, stand up and talk."

The old man was very resistant: "Sir, I like squatting, squatting is fine."

Because you are squatting, all your movements are in the opponent's sight, avoiding suspicion and being killed.

"It's up to you." Lin Qiang asked, "If the supplies on the train are lost, will the Japanese hold you accountable?"

The old man shook his head: "No."

"This kind of thing happens all the time. The Japanese know I'm just an old man driving a train, so they won't do anything to me. At most, they'll just scold me."

Lin Qiang was confused: "Why?"

"Because my daughter married the commander of the Osaka Division as a concubine."

Oh ~

Lin Qiang understood now.

All the devils in the Osaka Division are famous businessmen. They only seek money and do not kill.

Even if they encounter a few refugees, they will think about doing business with them instead of killing them.

Since the old man's life was not in danger, Lin Qiang asked again: "Where did the supplies on the train come from?"

"Shandong."

This provides even more excuse for the loss of these supplies.

Lin Qiang smiled and asked, "Then you know what to do, right?"

"know."

The old man said: "The supplies were robbed when they were in Shandong, but they were threatened along the way and the train was driven to northwest Shanxi."

Lin Qiang nodded with satisfaction.

This is a good argument. After all, there is a guerrilla force in Shandong that specializes in attacking Japanese trains.

Considering the old man's identity, he will definitely not be harmed by the Japanese.

"Leave the devil's body on the train. Keep going and stop at the next station."

The old man then stood up, his calmness being somewhat abnormal.

He started the train skillfully, blew the whistle and slowly drove away.

Lin Qiang jumped off the train and watched it disappear into the night.

Back to the warmth of my room.

Duan Peng asked, "Battalion Commander, what should we do with these guys?"

No one asked about the supplies, and the team members all knew that Lin Qiang had his reasons for doing so.

Lin Qiang squatted down and asked, "You now have two paths to choose from. Whether you can survive or not depends on your choice."

"First, stay here and be my spy. Second, refuse my proposal, and then I'll kill you."

"Choose."

The puppet army leader glanced at Lin Qiang and wondered, is this a multiple-choice question?

"Since the commander thinks highly of me, I will definitely not offend you."

The puppet army leader said firmly, "From today on, I, Zhao Er, will be your spy planted at the Japanese train station."

Staying at the train station was risky. After all, all the Japanese were dead, and only a few puppet soldiers were left alive. They would most likely be suspected.

But this is much better than dying immediately. At least he can still save his life with his eloquence.

Lin Qiang looked at the other person. After a few seconds, he looked away with satisfaction and looked at the others: "What about you? How do you choose?"

"At your service, sir."

"I have long wanted to stop working with the devils. If I wasn't worried about my family being killed by them, I would have surrendered to you long ago."

"Me too!"

"..."

The surviving puppet soldiers all expressed their opinions.

Lin Qiang looked at them one by one, until he looked at the last puppet soldier, then he showed an intriguing smile.

Zhao Er, who was good at observing people's expressions, immediately understood what he meant and whispered to Lin Qiang, "Don't worry, sir. I know what to do."

"Oh?"

This surprised Lin Qiang very much.

"Then it depends on your performance."

Lin Qiang said calmly, "Don't even think about turning against me. I told you, if I want to kill you, none of you will be able to escape."

Wanting to have a few spies in the Japanese train station was one reason to let Zhao Er and the others go, but what really made Lin Qiang let them go was the loyalty of these guys.

After several people said that, Lin Qiang could see their loyalty.

Each one reached over ninety.

This may be related to the fame he has gained in northwestern Shanxi.

Lin Qiang thought to himself.

Except for someone else, of course.

Lin Qiang took Zhao Er aside and said, "I don't care how you save your life, but you can use that kid to your advantage."

"This time is also my test for you. To be my informant, you have to be good at saving your life."

Zhao Er glanced at someone inconspicuously and nodded, "Don't worry, Captain. I will definitely not let you down."

This was not what Lin Qiang expected.

Anyone who can guard the train station at this critical juncture must be a die-hard traitor.

I didn't expect it would be so easy to incite rebellion.

It’s easier to get things done if you’re famous!

After explaining everything clearly, Lin Qiang gave the order to retreat.

As for what happens next, it depends on how Zhao Er handles it.

He was not worried about being exposed after the operation. Even if he was exposed, the Japanese would have no way to deal with him.

This time, the supplies at the train station were not only weapons and ammunition, but more importantly, daily necessities.

Rice, flour, fruits, vegetables, and neatly packed boxes of pork.

There are also many canned foods.

The Type 99 rifle, mortars, and Type 38 rifles together are enough to equip a reinforced battalion.

The team did not carry any weight and continued to return along the original route.

After returning to the Xiaowangzhuang position, we asked around and found out nothing had happened.

Only then did Lin Qiang feel at ease and put all the supplies in the system space into the super warehouse.

It is worth mentioning that last time Lin Qiang spent 300,000 anti-war points to connect the system space and the super warehouse together.

In other words, Lin Qiang no longer needs to go to the warehouse to store or retrieve supplies.

And it’s available at any time.

Even if Lin Qiang goes to the other side of the earth, he can access it at any time.

At dawn the next day.

The news that supplies at the train station had been robbed reached Yoshio Shinozuka's ears.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka was eating breakfast. After hearing the news, he was so angry that he turned the porridge in his bowl upside down on the table.

This didn't seem to suffice, so he kicked over the table.

"idiot!"

"Tell me, is this news true?!"

"These are the supplies I requested from Commander Okamura Yasuji to support the 4th Brigade, and they were just taken away like that?"

To be able to reach this position, Yoshio Shinozuka is not an angry person.

But since Lin Qiang became successful, the bad news one after another made Shinozuka Yoshio furious.

Over time, his calm demeanor disappeared, replaced by irritability.

The Japanese soldier who was reporting lowered his head and dared not speak. He knew that keeping silent was the best option at this moment.

Only after Yoshio Shinozuka had finished venting his anger did he dare to say in a low voice that he would leave first.

Shinozuka Yoshio angrily came to the intelligence department and shouted, "Within three days, I want to know the details of the missing supplies. If there is no news within three days, you will all commit seppuku to apologize!"
