Chapter 550: This transaction concerns future plans and no news of it can be leaked out!
Qian Bojun's face was full of smiles. The 20,000 yuan was earned easily. He really had no intention of cheating Hirata Kojiro. He knew the difference between having enough food every day and having enough every day. An urgent telegram was quickly sent back. The two sides agreed on a meeting place and negotiated the intelligence transaction. As for what tricks the devils had, he didn't care. He only cared about money.
"Yoshi! Qian Bojun has agreed to our transaction request. We will conduct the transaction in Niujia Town the day after tomorrow night. This matter must be kept strictly confidential and absolutely not a single word of it can be leaked out."
"Hirata-kun, you will be fully responsible for this matter. Only a few of us will go. The more people go, the bigger the target will be!" Mitsui Taro warned with some concern.
Hirata Kojiro nodded in agreement, and left Tianxiang Restaurant overnight, heading towards Niujia Town. Qian Bojun was not idle either, and found a reason to leave the station and secretly went to Niujia Town. He could have gone half a day later, but in order to make his actions look flawless, he decided to go out early, so that he could avoid many risks.
Qian Bojun's little trick did not attract the attention of Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong. They had never thought that Qian Bojun was so bold in private that he dared to get involved with the Japanese. It was precisely because of their negligence that Qian Bojun became more bold in selling out the intelligence of the 358th Regiment without any scruples at all, which caused great trouble to Chu Yunfei's subsequent actions.
In addition to Qian Bojun, there was another person who once again set his sights on the Zhaojiayu base. That was General Yingzuo who had taken Zhu Ziming away before. After learning that an oil field had been discovered in Shanxi Province, he felt that this was a huge opportunity.
Ever since his mortal enemy came to power, his life has become increasingly difficult, and his position as consultant will soon be abolished. In order to make his future life easier, General Yingzo decided to seize this opportunity to play the card of Zhu Ziming and disrupt the situation in northwestern Shanxi again.
"Zhu Ziming, you told me before that you had hidden a secret agent in the Zhaojiayu base. I don't care whether what you said is true or false, you must find out the real situation inside the Zhaojiayu base for me, otherwise don't blame me for torturing you!" General Yingzo threatened with a gloomy face.
Zhu Ziming knew that the Japanese general in front of him was not an easy character to deal with. His previous lies had been exposed several times, but one thing was true, that is, he did have hidden lines in the Zhaojiayu base, which had not been discovered by Li Yunlong and others until now. This was the fundamental reason why he was still so confident.
"General, I really didn't lie about this matter. I did have a hidden clue, but I can't tell you who it is. This is the foundation of my life and the only thing I can rely on to survive. Even if you torture me severely, I won't tell you."
"What I can guarantee to you is that I can ensure that you receive accurate and timely intelligence as soon as possible. However, I also have my own requirements. I need you to provide me with an action team and six radio stations to ensure the secret line can communicate with me."
"In fact, what really worries me is not Li Yunlong, but the college student whose identity has not been found out yet. So far, we only know that his name may be Lin Zhenhua, or he may have another name. The only thing we can confirm now is that his code name college student is real. Any other information is inconsistent. It always feels like he jumped out of a crack in the stone."
"This man can indeed be called a genius. He is not only good at weapons production, but also at drug research and development. He is also talented in military command. The most terrifying thing is that he has great luck. He can always turn danger into safety at the critical moment. He is much more terrifying than Li Yunlong."
"When dealing with this person, you must prepare two or three plans. A single plan cannot kill him. I hope that the general will send someone to deal with this person. You can use the beauty trap to corrupt and win him over..."
Before Zhu Ziming could continue, General Yingzuo interrupted him angrily, "Zhu Ziming, we are talking about Li Yunlong now, not the so-called college student. I have carefully investigated his identity according to your suggestion. He has the same name as Lin Zhenhua, the military expert we instigated to defect. Intelligence departments in various places have confirmed this."
"I suspect that Lin Zhenhua, who goes by the codename College Student, has faked his birthplace, life history and age. We can't even find out. The ID he carried was confirmed to be forged after verification. We still can't find out his true identity. What's more frightening is that it's too difficult to fully investigate this person's life trajectory. The wars in the past few years have made many things impossible to check. Although I have used a lot of connections to investigate this matter, I still found nothing."
"That's why I feel there's no need to investigate this person anymore. All I need to do is find the right opportunity to assassinate him. If you fail once, try again. If you fail twice, try again. If you fail three times, you'll definitely succeed if you assassinate him more often."
"I have already mobilized two action teams. One action team is specifically responsible for assassination. I want to see how long this fake Lin Zhenhua, codenamed College Student, can hide."
General Yingzuo's gnashing teeth expression made Zhu Ziming feel terrified. He felt that General Yingzuo had been too crazy these days and did some things without considering the consequences. Even if he wanted to get away now, he had no chance and could only wait until he returned to Ping'an County.
In fact, General Yingzuo did not trust his action team. He had secretly contacted Yamamoto Ikki and spent a huge price to get a 48-member special operations team from him. They would arrive in Ping'an County with him in five days.

"Boss, this is an urgent telegram just sent by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, asking us to give Li Yunlong an order to fully cooperate with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's counterattack. No matter how much it costs, we must not let the Japanese extract a single drop of oil."
"Even the Shancheng side has sent us a telegram, asking us to take the initiative to support the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's counterattack from behind enemy lines and fully cooperate with the Shuiquan Oilfield's combat operations!" The chief of staff put the telegram on the table and spoke with worry.
The commander-in-chief looked at the map on the table and replied solemnly, "I don't agree with the Shuiquan Oilfield operation. The situation where we are weak and the enemy is strong has not changed fundamentally. The strength of the Japanese 12th Army has not been weakened much, but has been continuously strengthened. We have missed the best opportunity for counterattack. If we launched a large-scale counterattack after the anti-mopping-up operation last year, we would have an % chance of success, but now we only have a % chance at most."
"But we have to fight this battle. It sounds a bit contradictory, but this is the dilemma we are facing now. In order to solve the problem of oil shortage, the Japanese have to launch a southward campaign. Once the Japanese find a large number of oil fields in our country, it will be like a bolt from the blue for us. The Japanese will definitely recruit soldiers from the domestic battlefield again, and our days will only become more difficult."
"In fact, we have been living a hard life since the failure of the anti-mopping-up campaign last year. If the Japanese recruit soldiers again, we will have no choice but to hide in the mountains. It will become extremely difficult to even be self-sufficient, let alone grow and expand our team."
"Let's take the 386th Brigade as an example. Originally, it had four main regiments and three ordinary regiments, with a total strength of more than 7000 people. But now, there are only two main regiments and two ordinary regiments left, with a total strength of more than people. This is the result of half a year of recovery. If it was half a year ago, it couldn't even gather two full regiments."
"The 386th Brigade is still doing well. The casualties are not the most serious. In addition, Li Yunlong and his men are not included in the calculations. Otherwise, the situation of the 386th Brigade could be even better."
"We are short of everything now. We are short of medicine, guns, bullets, shells, and even more so, food. Now is the summer harvest season. If we want to protect the food in the hands of the people, we have to deal with the Japanese's spring sweep. The Japanese launched a spring sweep this time, which was very strange. It dragged on for more than a month, and we still haven't figured it out."
"The Japanese now give me the feeling that they are very slow, as if they are deliberately dragging us and want to drag us to death in the mountains. It is very difficult to solve the current dilemma. We originally wanted to get some support from Li Yunlong, but the two sides have not successfully established contact. I always feel that there is a huge black hand in this, otherwise why is the communication channel cut off every time we are about to establish contact with Li Yunlong and his men?"
The chief of staff felt the same way, and said with a worried look on his face: "Li Yunlong and his men rely on the arsenal to continuously expand their territory. Their strength is already incomparable. But even so, they cannot break the Japanese blockade. It can be seen that the Japanese are much stronger than we imagined."
"It is indeed very difficult to attack Shuiquan Oilfield. We really cannot refuse. This is related to the overall situation of the War of Resistance. No matter how difficult it is, we must find a way to delay some of the Japanese troops. What I am most worried about now is that the Japanese continue to send reinforcements to Shanxi Province, which may lead to the failure of this Shuiquan Oilfield operation. We must prepare for the worst in advance!"
