Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

In fact, there was no company commander. Lin Qiang himself didn’t even know where the company commander was.

According to Li Yunlong's order, the team dispersed into companies and platoons, and each person chose a different position, especially Lin Qiang, who finally arrived at Heiyun Village after several twists and turns.

If he didn't take the initiative to contact other teams to indicate his location, it would be difficult to find his location.

Zhang Fugui was no fool, so he knew that Lin Qiang was lying to him. It had been less than a day, and Heiyun Village was not close to any regiment of the Eighth Route Army, so it was impossible for them to be taken away so quickly.

Although it was clear, Zhang Fugui had his own calculations in mind. He had already reached an agreement with the Japanese, and now it was basically just a matter of time before the final victory. Why not take this opportunity to leave the 358th Regiment with a legitimate reason.

With this thought, a smile appeared on Zhang Fugui's previously constipated face, and he said, "Since that's the case, I won't bother Platoon Leader Lin anymore. See you later!"

"What's the point of bothering me?"

Lin Qiang also did a good job of putting on a good front: "This is all a misunderstanding between friendly forces. Can Captain Zhang please tell that company commander for me? I, Lin Qiang, apologize to him."

Hearing the word "battalion commander", Zhang Fugui couldn't hide his smile, but still waved his hand and said: "Platoon Leader Lin, I am the deputy battalion commander."

Of the picture?

Deputy, why are you smiling so happily? Deputy, why do you look so expectant?

Since people like to listen, Lin Qiang didn't mind saying a few more words about what he likes to hear: "What's the matter with the title of chief or deputy? I think that with Battalion Commander Zhang's ability and talent, he will definitely not stop at just a battalion commander in the future. Who knows, he might even become a brigade commander in no time!"

The listener may not intend it, but the speaker may take it seriously.

Lin Qiang was also testing the other party with these words. He wanted to judge how far Qian Bojun had gone in surrendering to the enemy through Zhang Fugui's reaction.

But he overestimated Zhang Fugui. If he had said this before he flattered him, it would definitely have aroused his vigilance. But now, after two words of flattery, he was completely at a loss.

The old man smiled like a wilting chrysanthemum, completely unaware of the hidden meaning in Lin Qiang's words. He said with a smile, "Platoon Leader Lin, you really are praising me. Thanks to your good wishes, it won't be long before..."

"Haha, Platoon Leader Lin, I'll take my leave now. I still need to go back and report this to the battalion commander. Who knows, I might even run into your company commander."

When he was about to let the cat out of the bag, Zhang Fugui braked the car in time, hurriedly said that he wanted to leave, and used Lin Qiang's company commander to change the subject.

What he thought about was that he almost let the cat out of the bag, instead of thinking that he was led into trouble by Lin Qiang, so he did not doubt Lin Qiang.

Lin Qiang had already gotten the answer he wanted, so he followed Zhang Fugui's words and continued, "Then I won't try to keep Captain Zhang. Let's hurry back. Who knows, maybe we can actually run into my company commander."

Lin Qiang watched Zhang Fugui and his team leave until they disappeared into the jungle, and then he looked away.

The gaze just now was not just to see them leave, but to constantly weigh the consequences of getting rid of Zhang Fugui.

Zhang Fugui was ordered to come to Heiyun Village to ask for the team's weapons and ammunition, but he died on the way back. Lin Qiang was sure that Qian Bojun would take advantage of this incident to make a big fuss.

If Chu Yunfei sided with him, Qian Bojun might have to wait for the right opportunity to surrender to the enemy again. If Chu Yunfei blocked him at every turn, Qian Bojun would definitely turn around and surrender to the Japanese without hesitation.

Lin Qiang weighed the pros and cons again and again, and he couldn't guarantee what Chu Yunfei's attitude would be. He was also worried that without any evidence, he would directly send troops to Heiyun Village.

After all, the one who died was the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion, who could be considered Chu Yunfei's trusted subordinate, and Lin Qiang was the most suspicious. Even if he brought his troops over but did not take action, he had to give a result that would satisfy Chu Yunfei.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Qiang completely gave up this idea and decided to let Zhang Fugui and Qian Bojun live a few more days of peace.

However, the arrangements for Dagu Town have to be put on the agenda. Zhang Fugui said that the time for them to surrender to the enemy is approaching. If they are a step late, they will miss a great opportunity for development.

After returning to the training ground, Lin Qiang called a meeting with Qiangzi and others. During the meeting, Lin Qiang proposed the idea of moving up the schedule: "We can't waste any more time. Qiangzi, Zhang Yuntian, Xu Lang, the rest of you, hurry up and prepare. Let's set off tonight."

"Wait, Qiangzi, go call Duan Peng."

"Yes!"

Without giving others a chance to express their opinions, Lin Qiang made a very firm decision to advance the action.

While waiting for Duan Peng, Lin Qiang went to the warehouse and brought the Sten submachine gun and bullets he had obtained from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to the conference room.

Not long after, Duan Peng came to the meeting room. His face was covered in dirt, and his body was covered in dead leaves and weeds. "Platoon leader, what do you want from me?"

When Lin Qiang saw him, he almost thought he was a wild man running out of the mountains: "How is the team training going?"

Duan Peng entered the room, took the water Lin Qiang poured and placed it on the table. He replied, "According to my training plan, there are seven subjects in total. I'm currently in the third subject. The remaining subjects are battlefield first aid, the use of communication equipment, interrogation and counter-interrogation, tracking and counter-tracking, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, etc."

"How's the team's combat effectiveness?"

Speaking of combat effectiveness, Duan Peng's face showed an unprecedented confidence: "Platoon leader, I am absolutely not bragging. With the current strength of our special forces, we can definitely deal with a squadron of Japanese devils!"

After listening to this, Lin Qiang nodded approvingly, expressing his approval for the special forces' training results, as well as for Duan Peng's pragmatism.

Duan Peng was talking about maneuvering, not direct fighting.

In the jungle, the guerrillas were able to deal with the Japanese until they got rid of their pursuit. The special forces who have been trained for so long should be able to do it easily.

Lin Qiang stood up, walked to the table where the submachine guns were placed, and said, "In that case, I have a mission for you and your special forces team."

Then, Lin Qiang told Duan Peng the details of the mission, asking the special forces to eliminate the firepower points around Ono's small treasury, especially those on the cliff.

That place is of vital importance and is related to whether the entire plan can be completed successfully.

After saying that, Lin Qiang looked at Duan Peng who was in deep thought, and thought he could see some worry on the other's face.

This is a very important task. Anyone would feel a little nervous if given the task. After all, it is related to the success or failure of the entire operation, and the pressure can be imagined.

But Duan Peng not only did not show such an expression, but also said confidently: "Platoon leader, this mission is guaranteed to be completed, and we can complete it without firing a shot."

"it is good!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Lin Qiang's eyes. "You'll be in charge of distributing these submachine guns. As for the weapons and bullets for the rest of the team, go to the arsenal and find Xu Lin later."

"Yes!"

After Duan Peng answered, he asked Lin Qiang for supplies: "Platoon leader, I need some medicine. The team is in an assault operation, and it is difficult for backup to arrive in time. I want to make sure that the injured soldiers can save their lives before the backup arrives."

"no problem."

Lin Qiang said bluntly: "You can handle this matter yourself. If you need anything, go to the hospital directly."

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Lin Qiang said again: "We will leave in three hours."

"Yes!"

When the first row was preparing to take action in advance, Zhang Fugui had already returned to the camp.

Find Qian Bojun as soon as possible and report his situation.

Qian Bojun was immediately furious after hearing this. He knew that Lin Qiang was just talking nonsense. He pointed at Zhang Fugui and cursed, "You've lived all these years in vain and followed me for so long, but I didn't expect you to be such a loser. Can't you even tell from such a simple lie?"

Zhang Fugui had long known that this was a lie from Lin Qiang, and he just let Qian Bojun point at his nose and curse him.

When Qian Bojun was tired of scolding him, he slowly said, "Battalion Commander, what you said makes sense, but if we can make good use of this matter, can we leave the 358th Regiment with a clear conscience?"
