"General Li, long time no see!"

Yang Xingru brought a group of officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to Ping'an County. When he saw Li Yunlong, he immediately extended his hand and greeted him warmly.

The two met when the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sent people to the Eighth Route Army to study. After Yang Xingru learned that Li Yunlong's troops had captured the Japanese major general alive, he made a special trip to Yitiantian, where Li Yunlong's troops were stationed at that time.

"Hello, sir!"

Yang Xingru was the second-in-command of the Second War Zone. Although his military rank was also lieutenant general, he was nominally Li Yunlong's superior. Li Yunlong saluted with a smile and shook hands with him.

This time, Yang Xingru came to the Independent Column with the reason of checking the results of the battle. After all, the results of the battle reported by Li Yunlong this time were somewhat large, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army needed to confirm it in person. At the same time, they also came to supervise the body exchange ceremony of Shinozuka Kazuo.

At this time, Kazuo Shinozuka's body was thrown on an open space outside the independent column. Some people were standing guard, but they were generally unwilling to get close. After all, he had been dead for so many days. Although the temperature was still a little low, some simple embalming treatment was done, but due to limited conditions, only the head could be embalmed. It was enough to identify that it was Kazuo Shinozuka. As for the rest, they had already smelled bad.

Calculating the time, it has been more than a month since Shinozuka Kazuo died, but this old Japanese soldier still has not been buried. According to Li Yunlong, the old Japanese soldier's head can stay on the body because he still has some value.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I heard you won a great victory? You recaptured Ping'an County, so why is the headquarters still outside?"

Li Yunlong didn't reply, and he heard the air defense sirens in the distance: "General Yang, please follow me and take shelter!"

Li Yunlong smiled and ran with Yang Xingru towards a dug hole.

"This is?"

"The Japanese are retaliating like crazy, bombing here every day. There's no peace at all. The frequency of bombing here is almost catching up with that of the mountain city!"

The soldiers of the independent column have become accustomed to the Japanese air raids. Since the annihilation of the 13th Infantry Regiment, the Japanese bombing has never stopped. Two bombings are the norm, and yesterday they bombed six times in a frenzied manner.

The buildings in the city have basically been bombed to pieces, and there are no intact buildings left.

Just when Li Yunlong and others hid in the cellar, Noda Tsuyoshi also heard the air raid sirens in the distance in a small wooden house in Ping'an County, and immediately laughed grimly.

"Hahaha, long live the empire, long live His Majesty Tianhuang, blow these Chinese people to death, blow these Chinese people to death!"

Now, Noda Takeshi has been locked up with Mukai Toshiaki's body for nearly four days. At first, he was tied to a chair and unable to move. He could only watch and breathe in the foul odor. He was untied this morning and can move freely.

Noda Takeshi wanted to commit suicide, but after being hungry for three days, he didn't even have the strength to bang his head against the wall. There was nothing in the house that he could use to commit suicide, so he could only lie on the ground with a starving stomach.

Then his hunger instinct made him look at the mouse in the house, but he had been hungry for three days and had no strength at all. It was almost impossible for him to catch a mouse. With his eyes red with hunger, he looked at the dead Mukai Toshiaki.

However, Noda Takeshi was not completely crazy at this time. After hearing the air raid alarm, he immediately shouted excitedly.

Expecting an aerial bomb to fall and kill him directly.

But this time the cabin miraculously escaped disaster again and was not destroyed.

Noda Takeshi began to look involuntarily at the tied-up Mukai Toshiaki.

"Gulu..."

In the cellar outside the city, Li Yunlong and others came out and pointed at the Japanese bombers flying away and said, "General Yang, do you know why we are not stationed in the city anymore?"

"Thank you for your hard work, General Li!"

Yang Xingru looked around and said, "General Li, I read the battle report. You wiped out an entire regiment of Japanese troops this time, but why didn't you see any Japanese corpses?"

"The Japanese corpses have been sent to the vicinity of Xiaoliu Village. This time, in addition to exchanging the body of the old Japanese soldier Kazuo Shinozuka, the Japanese also want the bodies of the 13th Regiment. The price is not low, so I packed them up and sold them all!"

"I see!"

Yang Xingru looked at the bullet holes and bloodstains on the Ping'an County wall and took Li Yunlong's hand. "Thank you for your hard work, General Li. Could you give me a detailed account of the Ping'an County battle?"

"no problem!"

"This is the gap that the Japanese troops blew open back then..."

Li Yunlong soon discovered something was wrong. Yang Xingru pulled him to talk about the Ping'an County battle. A group of people were taking pictures frantically. They had already changed two or three rolls of film, but they still didn't stop.

After taking photos of Ping'an County, Yang Xingru followed Li Yunlong to Xiaoliu Village.

Throughout the whole process, Yang Xingru seemed very enthusiastic and held Li Yunlong's hand tightly. If it weren't for the fact that they were about to get on the bus, she probably wouldn't have been willing to let go.

"Old Zhao, what does Yang Xingru mean? Is she trying to win me over? What does our Commander Yan think? Why didn't he send two beautiful women over here, but an old man instead?"

Zhao Gang also frowned and said, "I don't understand it either, but we still need to pay attention. The behavior of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army this time is too abnormal!"

Li Yunlong also nodded.

When they arrived at Xiaoliu Village, Yang Xingru saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers arranged in rows, but none of them had heads.

Over the course of three days, although the temperature was still relatively low, the corpses began to rot. The smell of one or two corpses was not strong, but with more than 2,000 corpses placed together, the stench was unbearable.

However, Yang Xingru seemed not to smell the stench, and immediately pulled Li Yunlong with a smile to take photos next to the corpses of the Japanese devils.

"General Li, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. You really wiped out an entire regiment of the Japanese and even recaptured an entire county!"

After taking the photo, Yang Xingru held Li Yunlong's hand tightly, while the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officers who came with her were still taking pictures.

"General Yang, for such a great achievement, our Second War Zone Command shouldn't be stingy with rewards, right?"

"Of course, Commander Yan personally asked me to give this to you in recognition of your bravery in battle!"

As he spoke, he picked up a dagger with both hands and handed it to Li Yunlong.

"This is the Sword of Justice, specially used to reward those who have made contributions in the Second War Zone. Commander Yan is very optimistic about you!"

Li Yunlong took the dagger, pulled it out and looked at it. At this time, someone started taking pictures of Li Yunlong and Yang Xingru. Li Yunlong frowned slightly. He could roughly guess what Commander Yan was going to do. Someone actually wanted to take advantage of him for free?

"General Yang, why are you taking so many photos?"

Yang Xingru said calmly, "Of course, it's to record this battle. The Ping'an County Battle has special significance and must be recorded. General Li's name will be known throughout the country with these photos!"

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I see. This camera is quite good. Can you show it to me?"

Before Yang Xingru could say anything, Li Yunlong waved his hand and Monk Wei led his men to surround the group of people taking pictures, and took the camera with a smile.

"General Yang, I can probably guess what you, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, are planning. General Yang, you don't want to be unable to take these photos with you, do you? After all, we took so many photos, and I, Li Yunlong, and these soldiers cooperated so well. You have to be aware of this. Otherwise, if you publicize the Second War Zone's command in the newspapers, I'll refute you tomorrow, and that won't save your face, right?"

"..."

After negotiating the terms, Li Yunlong immediately hugged Yang Xingru warmly and said, "General Yang, if there's anything you're not satisfied with in the photos just now, I'll take you to retake them. Is Commander Yan interested in the Japanese Lieutenant General's sword? I'll give him one of the 300,000 rounds of ammunition!"

"General Yang, don't leave. We really don't have to. We have 200,000 rounds of ammunition!"

"..."

Chapter 157 The Appearance of the Osaka Division

At this time, about one kilometer in front of Xiaoliu Village, several Japanese officers were standing next to a Japanese colonel. In two cars not far behind them, dozens of people were being escorted. These were the people who were captured at the Sijiucheng Military Control Station.

"Baga, Zhi..."

Before the Japanese colonel finished cursing, two trucks drove up from a distance and stopped in front of the Japanese soldiers. As soon as the vehicles stopped, Zhang Dabiao jumped out of the car, glanced at the Japanese soldiers and said, "Is there anyone who can understand what I am saying?"

A Japanese lieutenant colonel immediately came out and said, "I can translate!"

"I won't waste any more time. Let's get started. Let's check the headcount and confirm Kazuo Shinozuka's body. Let's stop wasting time."

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand and several soldiers immediately jumped out of the truck, carried Shinozuka Kazuo's body down and placed it on the ground.

When the Japanese saw this, they immediately waved their hands. More than 50 intelligence officers from the Military Control Commission on the truck were driven off the truck. Each of them had a rope tied to his hand and lined up in a row.

"Please come and confirm if the number of people is correct!"

Zhang Dabiao did not know the people from the Military Control Commission, so the Military Control Commission also sent someone over for this transaction, and was also responsible for safely delivering the goods purchased in the mountain city to Li Yunlong.

The person in charge of this transaction is Zheng Yaoxian.

Zheng Yaoxian took off his gloves and pulled out a document from his pocket. He looked at the Military Intelligence Bureau agents standing in a row in front of him and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Zheng Yaoxian. I'm sure you've heard of me. The director asked me to take you home. Please answer when your name is called!"

"Yes!"

There were fifty-seven people in total, almost all of them had injuries on their bodies, and they had all been tortured by the Japanese. However, it was not clear whether they had defected or not. The most important thing was to get the people back first. Several of these people had some intelligence about the Military Control Commission, and some had been transferred from other places to the Sijiucheng station and knew the situation of some other stations. Once they defected, the intelligence systems of many areas of the Military Control Commission would be in trouble.

“Wang Bao…”

"To!"

"Zhou Qiang..."

"To!"

Fifty-seven people, not one less. Zheng Yaoxian nodded and looked at Zhang Dabiao and said, "The number of people is fine! The people are fine!"

Zhang Dabiao looked at the Japanese soldiers behind him, and the Japanese soldier who ran over to examine Shinozuka Kazuo's body shouted, "It's the body of General Shinozuka Kazuo!"

"Since there is no problem, let's exchange the person first and then we can talk about the second thing!"

"can!"

Immediately, fifty-seven Military Intelligence Bureau agents were released by the Japanese, and then they trotted to the position behind Zhang Dabiao and others. Many of them squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, while Zheng Yaoxian lit a cigarette and silently observed the expressions of these people, looking for clues.

The Japanese quickly carried away Shinozuka Kazuo's body. The colonel left with several officers, leaving only the major who had been in charge of translation. He said, "From now on, I will be responsible for the matter regarding your army selling the remains of our soldiers!"

"only you?"

"Your army won't let us bring more people. Our people are three kilometers behind. After we negotiate the terms and pay the money, your army will leave and we will receive the remains!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao nodded and said, "I didn't expect you little devils to be so honest."

“We Osaka people have always been like this!”

Zhang Dabiao brought the Japanese lieutenant colonel to the place where the Japanese corpses were placed. He smelled a foul odor before he arrived.

The Japanese lieutenant immediately put on a gas mask after smelling the stench and began to look at the corpses in front of him. He then immediately looked at Zhang Dabiao and said, "Why do these soldiers' bodies have no heads? This is not a complete body!"

"Our commander said that ten dollars is the price without the head. If you want the head, you have to pay an additional five dollars for the body!"

"You have absolutely no integrity. This is not how you conduct business. We clearly agreed on a price of ten dollars per corpse. I think your army should understand what a corpse means..."

The Japanese lieutenant colonel was a little angry and even took off his gas mask to argue with Zhang Dabiao.

In the distance, Li Yunlong looked through his telescope at the Japanese soldier who was arguing with Zhang Dabiao, frowning: "Go and ask what's going on!"

"Yes!"

When Li Yunlong learned what had happened, he looked at Monk Wei beside him and said, "We've checked the surrounding area. Are there any Japanese?"

"No, the Japanese troops are three kilometers behind us, with about a regiment's strength, and they haven't advanced yet!"

"Let Zhang Dabiao bring that devil over here. I'll talk to him in person!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the Japanese lieutenant colonel was brought to Li Yunlong by Zhang Dabiao. However, when he came to Li Yunlong, the Japanese lieutenant colonel still insisted: "Business must be honest and honest. We can't raise prices arbitrarily. All we have are dollars, no military notes..."

Li Yunlong looked at the Japanese lieutenant in front of him curiously: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Yunlong, you can talk to me about the corpse, I can take full responsibility!"
