Zhang Yunfei's plan was very simple, that is, disguised as a grain transport team and escorting puppet troops, and transport some supplies to Jiuligou.

This was also a plan formulated after discussing with Zhang Hongyuan. With so many people trying to get close to the Japanese gun towers, it was impossible not to be noticed. They could only come up with an honest reason to get close.

However, the food delivery team should not have too many people. More than ten escorts and five or six truck drivers are already the limit. Any more will easily arouse the enemy's alert.

Therefore, camouflage operations are also very dangerous. Because they are operating during the day, they cannot obtain the support of the main force. In order not to be discovered by the enemy, the main force cannot get close at all and must stay far away.

They must rely on these dozen people to severely damage the enemy at the first opportunity and seize control of the gun tower, so that they can persist until the main force arrives.

The members of the makeup assault team were mainly composed of personnel transferred from the company, plus Zhang Zhaoji and his son who led the way. The only member assigned by Zhang Yunfei was Li Ergou.

"Boss Zhang, you see, I am the guard platoon leader. I won't be of much use here." Li Ergou naturally had to fight against such an obviously life-threatening job.

"You have to go this time. Only you have real experience in driving a cart. In order to prevent the enemy from seeing any flaws, you have to be the first. You also have to teach the soldiers how to be a qualified cart driver. Don't

What kind of flaws are you showing in this regard?" Zhang Yunfei naturally ignored Li Ergou's usual complaints.

Li Ergou: "..."

Unexpectedly, he was picked up on this mission all because of his experience as a coachman.

Professional work should be left to professionals. It seems that driving a car does not require much education, but it is still clear at a glance that a novice and a veteran have obvious differences. The details determine success or failure. Now Li Ergou's professional skills can be used.

.

With everything ready, Tiedan set off with the disguised grain transport team.

Although Zhang Zhuang has always been very cooperative, he still has to be on guard against others. He doesn't want the other party to immediately inform him as soon as he steps forward.

So Zhang Yunfei asked Wang Zejun to take some people to continue to monitor the situation in Zhangzhuang. He took the others and followed the convoy from a distance, ready to support Tiedan and the others at any time.

The grain transport team left Zhangzhuang and headed southeast of the county.

Jiuligou, as you can tell from its name, is a low valley terrain, and this kind of terrain is most suitable for carving out mountain roads. The Japanese would not let go of this place, so they built the Jiuligou gun tower here.

Jiuligou is just a straight stretch of mountain road. Since the Japanese built gun towers and set up checkpoints here, no one else passes by except the mountain people who have to go here to haul goods.

These Japanese and puppet soldiers are not good birds. The life of the people is already hard enough. Every piece of money has to be broken in half. With bare hands or not much luggage and goods, they would rather walk on the mountain roads and trails with too much luggage.

It took some effort not to be exploited by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Therefore, this mountain road used by mountain people to enter and exit is becoming increasingly desolate. Although it was not busy before, people came and went one after another, but now it is possible to see no one all day long.

Tiedan and his group marched towards Jiuligou, and the idle Japanese and puppet troops naturally spotted them from a long distance away.

It was not easy to see such a large group of people, but they were not too nervous. After all, judging from their slow speed, they did not look like enemies.

"Hey, isn't this Uncle Zhaoji? What are you doing with this big car?" As they approached, the puppet platoon leader who had been waiting early recognized Zhang Zhaoji, who was leading the team.

The Zhang family is not a big force in Xiangyuan as a whole, but it is still quite powerful in the surrounding areas. In addition, Zhang Hongwu has become the chairman of the maintenance committee of the township office, and the Zhang family has naturally become stronger.

The platoon leader who didn't see the puppet army politely called Zhang Zhaoji, a bastard with dirty legs, "uncle". If he were an ordinary citizen, he would have yelled at him a long time ago. How could he be so polite?

"Platoon Leader Song, am I not going to the county seat to hand over the public grain collected this year?" Zhang Zhaoji said with a nervous and somewhat stiff smile.

He was relatively familiar with the puppet troops in this forthouse stronghold. He was considered a marginalized one in the village, so naturally he had to do a lot of errands and odd jobs.

Moreover, the Jiuligou gun building occasionally needed some radish, vegetables and other supplies, which was also led by Zhangzhuang and funded by the surrounding villages.

Most of the time, Zhang Zhaoji was responsible for this kind of offending work. Therefore, Zhang Zhaoji's reputation was not good in the surrounding villages. Many people secretly called him a traitor.

This is also the reason why Zhang Duanliang subconsciously believed that Zhang Yunfei and the others would be detrimental to his father. The Eighth Route Army's anti-corruption team was also very intimidating even in weak areas like Xiangyuan.

"So early? You Zhuangzi are quite active. Other villages don't force you to hand over the goods without using guns." Platoon leader Song said in surprise. In every food collection, the imperial army did not send troops to collect all the food.

"Uncle Hongwu has become the chairman of the maintenance committee. Naturally, we have to actively cooperate and let him earn some face in front of Taijun. We can't hold him back no matter what." Zhang Zhaoji was a little nervous at first, but after seeing

It was an acquaintance who arrived, and he gradually let go.

The puppet platoon leader suddenly realized that he was eager to flatter Taijun. He felt secretly contemptuous in his heart, but he said: "President Zhang is really far-sighted and far-sighted."

"Everywhere, everything is on errands for the imperial army, as it should be." Zhang Zhaoji finally heard the irony in his words.

But what he wanted to do now was to close the relationship between the two parties, so he just pretended not to hear it, and continued: "And the weather this year is also very strange. At this time of year, the weather is extremely hot, and the seedlings in the ground will be planted immediately.

If it's ripe, it won't survive at all, and there won't even be a drop of rain. It is estimated that many people in the mountains will lose food production, so we thought that it is not safe to leave this food in our hands, so we should hand it over as soon as possible."

"Understood, understood." The puppet soldier nodded.

The mountain people are not good people. They will use knives and guns to fight for water sources. They are farmers when they pick up hoes and bandits when they pick up swords. They are very tough.

Looking at the momentum this year, a reduction in production is inevitable. Now that we can’t plant crops after autumn, this winter will definitely be difficult.

It is estimated that many forces are eyeing a wealthy Zhuangzi like Zhang Zhuang. If they were not strong enough, they would have been robbed long ago.

Grain is an important strategic material. With such a large amount of grain in their hands, it is just a piece of fat. Over time, someone will inevitably take action.

If someone takes action, regardless of victory or defeat, Zhuangzi will suffer losses, so the best way is to send the food away as early as possible.

When the food was gone and there was not enough profit, the forces that were watching would naturally give up the idea of ​​targeting Zhangzhuang.

"Look at me, I was so busy talking that I forgot about the real thing. I even brought some radishes and greens for my brothers. Let me tell you, this year's crazy weather and severe drought, it took a lot of effort to feed them."

After Zhang Zhaoji finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Duanliang and scolded, "What are you doing here? Why don't you let someone unload the radish and green vegetables you brought behind? We have to rush on our way later, and we have to call back and forth today. The road at night will not be good."

, he’s clumsy at everything he does.”

After Zhang Zhaoji reprimanded Zhang Duanliang, he turned to the puppet platoon leader and said: "My boy is working for Taijun now, but he is very impatient in his work. It just so happened that I took him to the market this time to show his face in front of Taijun."

, if it can be seen by Taijun and seek an official position..."

Puppet Army Platoon Leader Song: "..."

Guys like Zhang Zhuang are really smart and don't miss any loopholes.

The platoon leader of the puppet army stayed aside and sighed that Zhang Zhaoji would sneak into the camp without realizing it. Tiedan and the others seemed to be scolded and all joined hands to unload the goods. The team, which seemed a little flustered, actually started to move towards the target they had chosen.

move.
