"Report, a group of cavalry has returned from outside the city.”The company commander on duty came in and shouted.
"Cavalry?"
Everyone's expression changed. Lin Fengtian reacted the fastest and stood up.
"Is it Gou Gui's cavalry?" How many people have returned?"
"It's Gou Gui's cavalry, but I don't see Gou Gui. The one leading them is Vice Battalion Commander Jiang Zuo, and there are about 120 of them.”the captain said.
"One hundred and twenty…"
Lin Fengtian frowned when he heard the number of people. He asked,""Did they say anything?"
"They looked quite anxious. They only told us to open the door quickly. They have something important to report to Hirata Ichiro.”the captain said.
"No, you absolutely cannot open the door."
" The combat power of 120 cavalrymen cannot be ignored," Lin Fengtian said resolutely." Letting them in will affect our operation."”
"But there are still more than 30 Japanese watching the city. It won't make sense if we don't open the door.”the captain said.
"Fengtian, don't be anxious. Let's go to the top of the city wall to see the situation first.”Wang Zhi said.
"Yes, Second Brother is right. Third Brother, don't be anxious.”
"There's something strange about the return of these cavalrymen. Why did Jiang Zuo come back instead of Gou Gui?" Jiang Chongyi asked in a low voice.”
"Needless to say, Jiang Zuo was originally a cavalry of the Jinsui Army. His skills were not bad, so he escaped.”Lin Fengtian didn't think too much about it and acted as if it was a matter of course.
"No, don't forget that Gou Gui is the most afraid of death. In war, he never charges forward. If he could really run, Gou Gui would definitely be the first to escape.”
Jiang Chongyi said," Besides, this Jiang Zuo is from the same surname as me. I have a good relationship with him. This person defected to the enemy in order to protect the lives of more than a hundred people in the Jiang family. It was a last resort."”
"Now that he's the only one who has returned with more than a hundred people, I have no choice but to be cautious.”
"Yes, big brother is right. We have to be careful. Perhaps Jiang Zuo can help us solve our problem.”Wang Zhi was the military advisor among the three, so he thought further.
"Then let's go and take a look." Lin Fengtian also felt that what they said made sense. After saying that, he walked out first.
Jiang Zuo and the others were getting impatient. They shouted several times, but the three brothers guarding the city did not dare to open the door without orders.
There were eleven second lieutenants in charge of the Japanese soldiers on the city gate tower. He did not understand Jiang Zuo's words. Their mission was to supervise the defense of the city. The rest of the matters were handled by the puppet soldiers. Of course, the matter of opening the city gate had to be approved by him in the end.
When Lin Fengtian, Jiang Chongyi, and the others arrived at the city gate tower, Jiang Chongyi was the first to shout at the city gate.
"Vice Commander Jiang, didn't you go with the traveler to encircle the bandits? Why are you the only ones back? Where are the travelers?”Jiang Chongyi pretended not to know anything and asked.
"Commander Jiang, this is not the place to talk. Please open the city gate first.”Jiang Zuo's words were very obscure, and there was a hidden meaning behind his words.
Jiang Chongyi and the others were smart people. They immediately understood what he meant.
"Fengtian, go negotiate with the Japanese and let them in.”Jiang Chongyi immediately said to Lin Fengtian with a solemn expression.
Lin Fengtian was the only one who could speak Japanese, so he was the only one who could negotiate with the Japanese.
"Alright."
Lin Fengtian naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Zuo's words. He nodded and walked to Second Lieutenant Gui Zi.
"Matriarch, we've confirmed that those below are the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army. They said that they have important information to report to Matriarch Hirata Ichiro.”Lin Fengtian said in Japanese.
"Yuxi, let them in." Second Lieutenant Gui Zi nodded." But Commander Hirata is very busy now. Tell him to report to me first."”
"Alright, I'll get him to see you first.”Lin Fengtian turned around with a murderous look in his eyes.
When the city gate opened, Jiang Chongyi and Lin Fengtian were already waiting for Jiang Zuo inside.
" Commander Jiang, everyone, I have bad news for you. Brigade Commander Zheng has been killed by Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment. Many people from the 1st and 2nd Regiment have been reorganized by the 358th Regiment."”
Jiang Zuo immediately stared at Jiang Chongyi, Lin Fengtian, and the others, waiting to observe their expressions. He was just testing them.
"Zheng Hao is really dead?"
Lin Fengtian was the most straightforward person, so he was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Did Regiment Commander Chu of Regiment 358 really recruit the people from Regiment 1 and 2?”Wang Zhi glanced at Jiang Zuo with a hint of joy on his face as he asked the most crucial question.
"That's right."
Jiang Zuo nodded. He could tell from their expressions and tone that these people really wanted to revolt, but they were afraid that they would not be forgiven by their own people. That was why Wang Zhi was so happy when he heard that Chu Yunfei had taken in the First and Second Regiments.
Thus, he decided to take a gamble and said with certainty,""Regiment Commander Chu is a true anti-Japanese hero. He doesn't despise us who used to be puppet soldiers. He said that as long as we are willing to turn over a new leaf and fight the Japanese sincerely, no matter what we have done in the past, we will be his brothers.”
