Bright Sword: Starting from the Rebirth of Zhou Weiguo

Chapter 69 Wells' friendship, back to Zaozhuang! (two chapters in one)

"Captain, you are here."

After Zhou Weiguo came out of the Zhou mansion, he rushed straight to the pier in the French Concession.

"Well, is nothing wrong?
Is everyone here? "

Zhou Weiguo looked at Xu Hu and asked.

"No, Uncle Zhang brought us in without a hitch, and took a bit of effort when we passed the devil's checkpoint."

"Well, it's less than three hours since we left the ship, so hurry up and take a rest. We'll leave early in the morning, and we'll disembark after leaving Shanghai and take the train back to Zaozhuang."

"Yes."

.........

Laiyang County.

Takeshita Jun quickly returned to Laiyang after retreating with his people.

"Yamamoto-kun."

Takeshita Jun looked at Kazuki Yamamoto with an ugly face, and said hello. It was no different from the past, and nothing seemed to happen.

"Takeshita-kun, this time our action has already alarmed the snake, I am looking forward to what Takeshita-kun will do next?"

Yamamoto Kazuki attaches great importance to Takeshita Jun. This action can be regarded as a success or a failure, so Yamamoto wants to know Takeshita Jun's next plan.

I have to say that Jun Takeshita's commando team is very powerful, as can be seen from the casualties this time.

He lost nearly a team of people, while Takeshita Jun had less than five people, and his casualties were four times that of Takeshita Jun!
"Now that we know their location, it will be much easier to carry out the next operation."

Takeshita Jun heard Kazuki Yamamoto's thorny words, but he didn't care, as if he didn't hear it.

"The Eight Routes are very cunning. This time we found their base, they will definitely move immediately. We have already missed the opportunity, and it will be even more difficult to find another opportunity!"

Kazuki Yamamoto said with a confident tone, as if he knew the tactics of the Eight Routes very well.

"They will indeed move, but they will definitely not go far. Moreover, I sent a Chinese-speaking team disguised as the Eight Route Army to operate around Laiyang. I believe they will bring me unexpected surprises."

Takeshita Jun was not surprised when he heard Kazuki Yamamoto's words, obviously he also thought of this.

"So that's the case, but I was too worried."

After listening to Kazuki Yamamoto, he stopped talking.

"By the way, Yamamoto-kun, General Shinozuka sent a telegram just now, ordering the two of us to rush back to the headquarters immediately, let's put things aside for now.

Leave a small team of people here to inquire about the news, and we are ready to set off tomorrow morning. "

Although Takeshita Jun was a little curious about Kazuo Shinozuka asking him to go back at this time, he didn't hesitate. He just planned to leave a small team of more than [-] people here to continue to inquire about the news, and led the rest to retreat.

.........

"Zhou, the boat is about to sail, do you want to have breakfast together?"

On a passenger ship, Zhou Weiguo and an elegantly dressed Frenchman stood on the deck, looking at the bustling city not far away.

"No, Wells, I and my friend are going to talk about something, and we are going to disembark at the next stop."

"That's such a pity, Zhou, you are the wisest and calmest commander I have ever met. If I have the opportunity to come to France, I will definitely entertain you well!"

Wells is the ruling official of the French Concession Embassy. This time he is going to retire, and he plans to go around the rest of the place before leaving. After that, he will leave with the ship and return to France to wait for the arrangement.

It is estimated that he should retire in a few years.

Last night, Zhou Weiguo couldn't sleep and was blowing the wind on the deck. He happened to meet Wells, and the two chatted casually.After that, Wells was amazed at Zhou Weiguo's talent and fell in love with this young and outstanding commander.

Wells is 40 years old, but his good life and easy job make him look like he is in his thirties.

He admired Zhou Weiguo's talent and strategic vision very much. He only chatted with Zhou Weiguo for a few words without going deep, and he discovered the unique insights and sharp judgments around him.

"Sure, Wells, I wish you a pleasant breakfast!"

"Zhou, see you later."

After Wells finished speaking, he left the deck with a smile and walked towards the restaurant of the passenger ship.

Seeing Wells leave, Zhou Weiguo also turned and entered their room.

"Ma Ying, have you really thought about it?"

Zhou Weiguo looked at Ma Ying and confirmed again, with a serious tone and a solemn face.

"Well, after so many years of doing the same job, I think it's time to change. And isn't the special soldier also similar to my current job?"

Ma Ying knew Zhou Weiguo's worry, but she said it out resolutely, her eyes were full of challenges.

"But…"

Zhou Weiguo wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Ma Yingexit.

"Commander Zhou, I know that there have never been female special forces, and girls are indeed not as physically strong as boys, but there are also female special agents. If they can do it, it proves that female special forces are feasible, doesn't it? And sometimes female special forces can play greater effect."

Ma Ying looked at Zhou Weiguo and argued hard.

She has been engaged in underground work for a long time, and this time her mission is completed, and she wants to join Zhou Weiguo's special operations group.

She wants to fight the enemy head-on, although the tasks of the Special Operations Group have many overlaps with her original ones, and there are many similarities.

But she wants to have strength, not be helpless in the face of the situation in Shangde Hotel.

She is a strong woman who never pins her hopes on others and only believes in herself.

So she wants to improve her strength, and joining the special forces is the best choice.

The special operations team is a brand new force with a lot of room for development, which is one of the reasons she considered.

"Okay, since you insist, I won't persuade you anymore, but you have to think about it, the special forces training is very cruel."

"Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely persevere."

Hearing Zhou Weiguo's words, Ma Ying also knew that he agreed, so he couldn't help being a little happy.

Zhou Weiguo is also quite happy to see the success of Ma Ying's joining. Ma Ying's experience in lurking behind enemy lines for so many years is very valuable.

The Special Operations Team does not have talents in this area, and if Ma Ying can come, it will just fill in the vacancy in this area.

And another reason is that, as Ma Ying said, female special forces do have some unexpected gains, and some tasks are indeed easier for girls to complete than boys.

To be honest, if Ma Ying hadn't offered to join the special forces, he would have never thought of female special forces.

He had never considered female special forces at all before, and felt that female special forces were not feasible at all.

Because when they don't have some special missions, they are still a combat force, which is a bit like a commando regiment, and they have to go to the battlefield to charge and fight bayonets.

And the female special forces, to be honest.He felt that if he really figured it out, Chen Gen would probably shoot him.

But Ma Ying's words woke him up, although female special forces were not feasible.

But it is still possible to have your own intelligence source organization.

For their operations, sources of intelligence are extremely important.

Although some information from the headquarters is now being collected for them, it is still limited after all, and it is impossible to meet their requirements.

It just so happens that the Special Operations Group is in the exploratory stage, so he has a lot of autonomy.

This time, he planned to select a man from the special operations group to train Ma Ying, and then serve as a source of intelligence for the special operations group, and then facilitate the operations of the special operations group.

…………

two hours later.

"Wells, we're here, we're about to disembark, goodbye!"

Zhou Weiguo watched the boat approaching the shore gradually, and said to Wells beside him.

"Zhou, it's a pity that we will be separated in such a short time. I will return to China soon. It is useless for me to hold this. I will leave it to you, my friend."

Wells looked at Zhou Weiguo, handed him a small box with exquisite workmanship, and said sincerely in his eyes.

Zhou Weiguo has a good sense of Wells, because Wells has a friendly attitude towards people from country Z, unlike other people who always feel that they are superior and look down on Orientals.

Wells was not only interested in Zhou Weiguo, Zhou Weiguo discovered in the conversation with Wells that Wells knew Z country Wenhua very well.

In the past few years of living in Country Z, he has always advocated friendship. During his administration, there were many Chinese living in the concession, and it was difficult for Japanese to enter.

It was under such circumstances that Zhang Yuesheng met people in the French Concession by chance, and became friends after going back and forth.

After taking what Wells was holding, it was an exquisitely crafted sandalwood box.

Zhou Weiguo opened the box curiously.

I saw a golden medal lying quietly inside.

"This is?"

Zhou Weiguo looked at Wells with some doubts.

"This is our peace medal, which is specially prepared by the embassy for those who have friendly relations. There are three medals in total, representing our friendship.

With it, you can enjoy VIP treatment in the French Concession.

This one is for you, Zhou, you deserve it, and I hope we can always be friends! "

Wells is the highest official of the embassy, ​​so he has one such medal, and the other two were given to two senior officials of the national army.

Originally Wells thought that this medal would follow him back to China, but he didn't decide to give the last medal to Zhou Weiguo until he met Zhou Weiguo on the boat.

"Wells, thank you for your gift, this time is too hasty, next time I will definitely show you around."

"Sure, goodbye, Zhou."

"goodbye!"

Zhou Weiguo put the box away, then got off the boat with Xu Hu and others, rushed towards the train station, and then hurriedly boarded the train to Laiyang.

"Sir, this medal is of extraordinary significance. Would it be too hasty to give it away like this?"

Watching Zhou Weiguo and the others leave, a young official next to Wells asked incomprehensibly.

"No, I believe my vision, Zhou is an excellent commander and an excellent soldier, he deserves this medal.

As for the rights it brings, it's not something I should worry about afterwards, hahaha. "

Wells talked and left the deck with a smile.

…………

Zhou Weiguo and his party boarded the train to Laiyang. It was eight o'clock in the morning.

Laiyang Japanese Army Command.

Jun Takeshita and Kazuki Yamamoto's special forces have assembled.

"Yamamoto-kun, let's go.

I have arranged for people to investigate here, and there should be news in the future. "

As he said that, Takeshita Jun took the people into the truck and drove to Laiyang Railway Station.

After an hour and a half.

Zhou Weiguo and the others arrived at Laiyang County by train.

"Let's go, hurry up and get off the car, walk separately, two people in a group, and then gather at Lijiatun, ten miles outside Laiyang City."

After speaking, Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu mixed into the crowd first, and walked down to the car.

At this time, Takeshita Jun and Yamamoto Kazuki also came here with people.

Takeshita Jun was originally chatting with Kazuki Yamamoto and didn't care about other things.

But he stopped suddenly, and saw a familiar figure among the people who had just got off the train.

Just when he wanted to confirm, the man just now was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd.

The train conductor on the other side was also waiting for them to get on the train, so he had to give up.

"Captain, that devil seems to have spotted us just now?"

Behind a pillar, Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu walked out from behind the pillar after seeing Jun Takeshita and Kazuki Yamamoto boarding the car.

"Don't talk, get out of here first!"

Zhou Weiguo was also a little surprised when he saw Takeshita Jun, but he was more worried.

Takeshita Jun will not appear here inexplicably, he must be here for something.

And Laiyang is very close to Zaozhuang, and Takeshita Jun came here, it is very likely that he came here.

He was a little worried about the situation of the Special Forces now, but he had no choice but to quicken his pace and leave Laiyang with Xu Hu.

…………

The first group of the Qingyuan Security Brigade.

"You mean these devils are targeting the Eighth Route Army?"

Since Liu Zhihui heard that a group of special devils had come to Laiyang last time, he had people stare at him to find out the origin of this group of devils.

He just received information that this special group of Japanese troops attacked the Eighth Route Army in Zaozhuang last night.

"Yes."

"Have you found out that the one in Zaozhuang is the Eighth Route of that army?"

"It's the Independent Regiment of the 129th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, headed by Zhou Weiguo."

"what?"

"Can you say that again!"

Hearing what the soldiers said, Liu Zhihui couldn't help but grow louder, and said a little excitedly.

"Independent Regiment of the 129th Division of the National Revolutionary Army."

The soldier was a little puzzled when he heard Liu Zhihui's words, but he repeated the words again.

"No! What's the name of their leader?"

"Zhou Weiguo!"

Liu Zhihui confirmed the news again, and then let the soldiers go out, and he stood in the headquarters with some excitement.

He had lost news of Zhou Weiguo since the Jinling battlefield. If he hadn't learned through Zhou's father that Zhou Weiguo was still alive and joining the Eighth Route Army, he would not have been so excited at this time.

It was precisely because all the information matched surprisingly that he was a little excited and decided to take someone to confirm if it was Zhou Weiguo.

.........

Zaozhuang, the headquarters of the Special Operations Regiment.

two hours later.

Zhou Weiguo returned to the special operations group with his people.

"Captain, you are back."

Seeing Zhou Weiguo and the others come back, Zhao Yong also said with some joy.

Suddenly there is a backbone.

"Chief of Staff, what's going on, why do I see so many brothers fail?"

Zhou Weiguo thought of Takeshita Jun he met at the train station, and couldn't help but have some guesses.
