Chapter 865 She Can Spin
Chapter 865 She Can Spin
The group fled back to Yuancheng in a panic, and immediately went to the Salt Merchants Association to look for Lin Ze and Hua Guzheng.
After listening to Nanyun Takuya's report, Hanatani couldn't help but blurt out, "What?! Another group of people attacked you?"
Zhou Xuejin's eyes flickered.
What does "also" mean?
He had long felt that this Huagu was not like an officer fighting on the front line. When he heard this, he found the matter even more bizarre.
Then I thought about why Master Lin summoned me here for no apparent reason. Could it be that Master Lin wanted to use me to convey some message?
But this is so exciting. I met that group of people on the mountain today. I could tell they were from the West by their style.
Bullets have no eyes, and I almost died at the hands of my own people.
Hanaya Masaharu looked a bit excited and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, please go back and rest. We will study the attack and take action!"
After everyone left, Hanaya excitedly said to Lin Ze, "Lin-kun! I didn't expect this to become true. From what Nanyun Takuya described, it's clear these guys are from the Red Zone. We can just stir up trouble with them and say the Red Zone deliberately attacked high-ranking officers in the east, leading to our sweep. The ones who got hurt were the stragglers from the Fifth War Zone!"
Lin Ze thought to himself, Hua Gu Zheng is really a wicked guy, this trick comes to him so easily.
"Hanatani-kun, you truly are worthy of being called the Flower of Spies! You were able to instantly figure out how to leverage an opponent's strength. I'm truly impressed. So, once the raid begins, can you feed intelligence to the Red Zone Special Operations Team's informant?"
Hua Gu was grinning, "Of course, of course!"
After saying that, Hanatani went straight to the gendarmerie and Tanida Shun to discuss sending troops for the sweep. The plan went so smoothly, and there were even some unexpected little surprises, which greatly boosted his confidence.
Coming from the base camp, he had a certain understanding of the scale of this battle. If he could use the power of intelligence to help the empire achieve a greater victory in a battle of this scale, wouldn't he, Hua Guzheng, become the pride of his family, or even the pride of the entire Special High Technology System?
By then, his promotion speed will probably be as fast as a cannonball!
Lin Ze looked at Hua Gu Zheng's back and was secretly thinking in his heart.
The Japs' plan cannot be exposed now. If we tell the headquarters directly, the Japs will feed a false plan to the Red Zone. If the Red Zone informs you, don't believe it. We really don't know what consequences this will cause.
We have to wait until the fake plan is sent out and more and more people have access to it, and then slowly find a way to leak the news.
That afternoon, a massive sweep of an area east of Far City began.
Hanatani Masaru gave an order, asking Tanida Shun to leave a small team to guard Yuancheng, and send all the other Japanese soldiers out to work with the military police to go into the mountains if necessary and clear out the villages that might be hiding rebels.
As a result, the bandits and so-called guerrillas sent by the Fifth War Zone were beaten so badly that they could not even raise their heads. Their weapons and equipment were so poor that they were no match for the Japanese.
As for the common people, they did not suffer much. They were very experienced. It didn't matter if they heard gunshots. As long as they heard artillery fire, they would immediately run eastward with their families and into Zhongtiao Mountain, where they would be temporarily safe.

"Master Lin, try this! It's a famous delicacy called boiled cakes. They used to be supplied to the palace. They're delicious!"
It was already afternoon and it was not time for dinner yet, but that did not stop Ma Mingyuan from showing his courtesy.
In the past two days, he has been running to Lin Ze every day, sometimes calling him Commander Lin, sometimes calling him Master Lin. He comes to pay his respects in the morning, comes to say hello in the afternoon, and personally arranges the banquet in the evening.
Lin Ze was very sharp-eyed and naturally understood what he was thinking. However, how to deal with the remaining salt merchants would have to wait until the war was over, so Lin Ze had not expressed his opinion.
That afternoon, Ma Mingyuan prepared a table full of local snacks, saying they were tea snacks. He even personally made tea for Lin Ze and was very busy.
Let’s just say, who can withstand this kind of “hunting”?
This kind of boiled cake is not a cake, but a kind of fruit. It is filled with honey and osmanthus filling, wrapped in dough, and then coated with a layer of sesame seeds. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, fragrant and sweet. It is nice to eat a few while drinking tea.
Lin Ze also tasted a few mouthfuls of the soft fried dough twist, took the tea bowl, and drank it slowly, "Old Ma, if you have something to do, just do it. You don't have to stay here with me."
"Look at what you said. How many chances can people like us have to talk to you in our lifetime? You finally came to Yuancheng. If I don't hurry up and get closer to you, wouldn't I be possessed by a ghost?"
"Old Ma, do you want to ask about the salt business?"
Old Ma was stunned again by Lin Ye's jumping questions and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lin Ze put down his tea bowl and said, "Old Ma, you've been selling salt for years, so you're familiar with the surrounding terrain. Tell me, if we were to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, where would be the best place to start?"
Lao Ma thought to himself, what the hell is going on!
"Don't be nervous. Just tell me what you think. If what you say can be used, I will help you with your business in the future."
Old Ma gritted his teeth and said, "Master Lin, do you really want to fight?"
Lin Ze lit a cigarette and said, "Others can't see it, but you can't see it? If you can't see it, why do you come here to see me every day?"
Old Ma smiled awkwardly, thinking that this Mr. Lin was no ordinary man. He, Old Ma, had been active in the business world of southern Shanxi for decades, and he had met many capable people. Even if the Japanese came, he could get along with them. No one had ever put so much pressure on him like Mr. Lin.
"Master Lin has a keen eye. I can't hide my little thoughts from you. Let me tell you, Zhongtiao Mountain is narrow in the west and wide in the east. There is a prosperous trade around Yuancheng, which is suitable for the distribution of supplies. Therefore, it is more appropriate to attack from west to east."
"But there are people from the Red Zone in the west. What if we're attacked from both sides?"
Ma Mingyuan shook his head. "To be honest, things are different now. We've fought many times before, and people from the west came to help the Southern Army. But this time, the situation should be different."
The two chatted for a while, and Ma Mingyuan suddenly said, "Jin is dry. I don't know if Mr. Lin can get used to living there. I had a bathhouse renovated. Mr. Lin might as well go there and relax."
Then he lowered his voice again, "It seems that the previous batch of dancers did not meet Master Lin's standards. I have found a new one. Please appreciate it, Master Lin."
Lin Ze naturally accepted the advice of local business leaders. The weather was getting warmer, so taking a shower would not be a big deal.
This time, Ma Mingyuan arranged a bronze girl, who was not only pretty but also had learned martial arts since childhood.
Simply put, she spins!
