  Finally, after what felt like an eternity, it was time for dinner. Old Wang had been observing the guards' reactions all along. Suddenly, one of the guards started clutching his stomach in pain and fell to the ground. The person next to him tried to come over to ask what was wrong, but they too were overcome with severe pain and collapsed. Some people tried to sound the alarm by firing their guns, only to discover that they didn't even have the strength to pull the trigger. In less than 30 seconds, over a hundred good people had all vomited blood.

  Is he dead?

  Old Wang turned his head and looked at Hei Da, scolding: "What did you feed them? How could people die?"

  Hei Da Ge Zhang Er and He Shang were baffled. The two of them went out to take a look and found that more than 100 people had really died in the most miserable way possible.

  Lao Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Can't worry about that now. Leave ten people to strip these guys of their clothes. Lao Hei occupies the high ground preparing to send a signal outside the city. The rest follow me in."

  Lao Wang and others thought they would definitely have to open fire when entering the house. As a result, as soon as they entered the house, they were all stunned. Han Fu Chu had already been tied up and thrown on the ground.

  There was a person sitting on top of the house, and when Old Wang saw this person, his heart sank.

  Tōyama Kazuo, a Japanese special agent. He single-handedly created Manchukuo. Most of Japan's famous agents were basically his apprentices. A true China expert.

  Tsuchihara Chōrō nodded and said: "Wang Xiangjun, hello."

  Old Wang stood there at a loss. Tsuchihashi pointed to the ground and said, "This man is Han Fuying. I've tied him up for you. You don't need to ask me who I am or why I'm doing this. All I can tell you is that it's in both our interests."

  Old Wang swept the side hall with his eyes and saw someone's shadow. At this time, it was impossible for him to escape from Heze City even if he took action himself. Old Wang calmed down and let the people around him put Han Fugui in a sack and carry him away. He stayed alone and said: "Tufei Yuan, head of Japanese spies."

  Lao Wang was tricked by him and thought of his own counterattack. He reported his name to scare him.

  Tofu Hiro smiled and said, "I'm really surprised that you still recognize me. However, you're not a professional spy. Judging from today's events, you're not even a qualified soldier. Womanly compassion. I don't know how you obtained the combat plans and high-ranking officer information within our empire, but I can be sure it was an extremely childish method. And it went unnoticed by us. In other words, you didn't grasp the Imperial General Staff line. Am I right?

  Tsuchihara stared at Old Wang with his cunning eyes.

  Old Wang suddenly felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the back of his brain. He had thought that knowing history made him the most awesome, but he didn't expect to be stripped bare by someone in just one encounter. Everything was within the other person's calculations. This time, he was defeated.

  Tofu saw the satisfied smile on Old Wang's face and smiled: "However, you don't have to worry, we didn't have any malicious intentions. You can take him back, and you can take the credit. We won't release any information about this operation. I even cut off my trademark small mustache for today's gathering. I think your subordinates won't recognize me."

  Old Wang said viciously: "Then I'll kill you first. That way it's more profitable."

  Tofu-hara burst out laughing, clapped his hands and from the side hall walked out dozens of Japanese samurai carrying swords. Tofu-hara pointed at these people and said: "These are all the best swordsmen of the Black Dragon Society. If we start fighting, I'm afraid you'll be the first to die."

  Old Wang put his hand on the gun and said, "I'll try it too."

  Tsuchihara Kenji stretched out his hand to stop Old Wang and said, "If you take action now, you will inevitably disturb the soldiers outside. I think even if you are reckless, you dare not single-handedly challenge tens of thousands of people with just a few dozen men! These soldiers do not dare to do anything to me! What I fear is that you will force them onto the path of killing officials and rebelling!"

  Lao Wang turned around and left, unable to stay here any longer. All his trump cards had been figured out by others. Tsuchihara saw Lao Wang leaving and said: "Now change into our people's clothes, no one will dare to stop you from leaving the city."

  Downstairs to change clothes, a group of people went out. Indeed, no one stopped them, and Old Wang was thinking about why the Japanese did this as he escorted Han Fuzhen back to their quarters.

  Old Wang suddenly thought that the Japanese might have a way to win over this unit. In other words, they must have someone in their hands who can control this unit. Thinking of this, Old Wang ordered Hei Dage to take Han Fuju to Xuzhou. He himself brought a group of people to stay in the city to monitor the situation further. According to history, Sun Tongxuan, under Han Fuju, was very loyal to Han and attempted to start a mutiny after Han's capture. However, due to his subordinates being won over by Chiang, it was unsuccessful. This kind of person would not turn towards the Japanese. Old Wang then brought ten people with him to sneak towards the headquarters of the 12th Army.

  As soon as they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by the guards. Old Wang said to the soldiers at the gate: "We are President Han's entourage, President Han went to meet with the Japanese and hasn't come out in half a day. Before he left, President Han told us that if anything happens, we should look for General Sun."

  The guard at the door was also a trusted follower of Sun Tongxuan, and he quickly reported inside. Before long, a general with a crooked neck came hurrying over with several guards, asking: "Where is Chairman Han now?"

  Old Wang said: "The Japanese took President Kim to a brothel."

  Sun Tongxuan said with a scowl: "I told him that the Japanese are not to be trusted. Orderly! Take my orders and deliver them directly to each battalion. Tell everyone to seal off all four gates. Disarm the troops guarding the gates on the spot. If there is any resistance, kill without hesitation. The guard company will come with me to the Japanese barracks to demand their surrender."

  Everyone dispersed in an uproar, Old Wang thought: If I don't leave now, when will I wait for.

  Taking advantage of Sun Tongxuan's busy deployment, Old Wang slipped away to the city gate. This was because Sun Tongxuan's troops had not yet taken over defense and were relatively lax, plus the Japanese had paved the way earlier, so Old Wang and his group quickly passed through. Once out of sight of the guards, everyone started running wildly, rushing to a nearby village to buy horses, and if they wouldn't sell, they would leave money and take them by force. With their lives at stake, they couldn't afford to be polite.

  After a sleepless night, everyone finally boarded the car and rushed to Xuzhou on the second day.

  Lao Wang rushed straight to the headquarters of the war zone commander near Xuzhou City. Before entering the courtyard, he shouted loudly: "My men, take Han Fuqu away!"

  Li Xianyu walked out of the inner house with a smile and said: "Xiang Army! This time, you have made great contributions to the party and the country! Pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth."

  Old Wang thought to himself: He had been outsmarted by the Japanese and almost became a criminal.

  Li Xing Shu continued: "This morning, your men escorted Han Fu to Kaifeng. The governor has arranged for a plane to send him directly to Kaifeng. You're going to get promoted this time."

  Old Wang thought: those tens of thousands of people under Han Fu's command still don't know what's going on.

  "Where is the officer? I want to see him immediately."

  Li Xian pointed to the house. Old Wang didn't even knock on the door and walked in directly. Li Zongren was looking at the situation between the Japanese army and our army this afternoon, and as soon as he saw Old Wang come in, he immediately stopped what he was doing and said: "Xiang Jun, you have made great contributions this time. The Chairman said that after this battle is over, we will reward you together."

  Old Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There is a Japanese mole within Han Fuqu's army, I estimate they have already taken control of some troops. Before I left, I stirred up some trouble but I don't know what the situation is like now."

  Li Zongren said, "Don't worry, the Chairman has already ordered Kong Xiangxi to make arrangements within Han Fuju's army. If all else fails, we can still resist for a few days. The Chairman has also ordered a central army from the Third War Zone to move north and monitor Han Fuju's troops. I think it's not a big problem."

  Old Wang let out a sigh and collapsed onto the sofa in Li Zongren's office, as soft as a cotton ball. Li Zongren chuckled and said, "The Hunan Army has achieved great merit this time! The Chairman of the Committee wants to severely punish Han Fuqu, now all my officers are silent like cicadas in winter, no one dares to mention retreat again."

  Old Wang asked again: "Where did the Japanese go these past two days?"

  Li Zongren pointed to the map and said, "The Japanese army on the northern front has reached Xuzhou, the southern front has been blocked at the Huai River line, and the eastern front is also stuck under Linyi, unable to advance an inch. The battlefield situation is not bad."

  Old Wang saw it from Li Zongren's expression. He didn't tell the truth. Old Wang said lazily, "The Eastern Front has only one army corps under Pang Bingxun, with a real strength of just five regiments. It's unlikely to hold back the Japanese Iron Army's Fifth Division!"

  Li Zongren smiled wryly and said: "One sentence has hit the key point of the battle, I suppose the Xiang Army has a good plan to teach me."

  Old Wang shook his head.

  "What's the good strategy, just meet the soldiers with generals and block the water with earth. The southern line has already stabilized, it's better to transfer Zhang Zizhong's 59th army to reinforce Linyi."

  "Hunan Army, you don't know..."

  Before Li Zongren finished speaking, Old Wang received a phone call.

  "You're referring to the past grievances between Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun, aren't you?"

  Li Zongren nodded.

  Old Wang stood up and said, "De Gong, you underestimate Ruan Chun too much. At this critical moment of national crisis, he can still distinguish between what is important and what is not. If it's really not possible, you can appoint a nominal commander-in-chief to jointly command the two armies. This way, Ruan Chun will also have a way out."

  Li Zongren sighed: "In the five war zones, only I or Yan Xishan can suppress these two men."

  Old Wang knew he was talking about Xu Zuyi, the chief of staff of the Fifth War Zone.

  Old Wang got up and returned to his own nest as soon as he saw everything back on track. Before entering the door, he heard Sai Shuangwang complaining in the house that he didn't send a signal, causing him to lie in the wild for half a night. Old Wang went in and stood behind him, still talking incessantly. Everyone held back their laughter, looking at Sai Shuangwang. Old Wang lifted his foot and actually kicked Sai Shuangwang's butt, and everyone burst into loud laughter.

  Sai Shuang Wang's face turned bright red.

  Old Wang jokingly said: "Next time I let you meet me again, you dare to discuss the superior arbitrarily, and I will expel you."

  Everyone laughed even harder.

  Old Wang made a summary of this action.

  "This time everyone did a great job, the task was accomplished without firing a single shot or bullet, and no one lost their 10 yuan reward. Take three days off and go have some fun!"

  Everyone was very excited when they heard the holiday. The next morning, after receiving the money, they all dispersed in a hurry. Old Wang, however, did not have it as easy as them, for there was still one big thing weighing on his mind.

  Should the Japanese help with things to report, and if so, how should they say it best? In the end, Lao Wang decided to send a telegram to Dai Li again. His own head originally had the shadow of a Japanese spy, and if this matter was shaken out by the Japanese intelligence department, he would be in danger. It's better to confess truthfully.

  Lao Wang drafted the entire process into a report and sent it to Dai Li, who was far away in Chongqing. Three days passed, but there was still no response from Chongqing, while the situation on the battlefield continued to deteriorate step by step.

  Due to Zhang Zizhong's 59th army moving to the eastern front to support Linyi, the northern line was left empty, and Wang Mingzhang defended Teng County for three days but ultimately suffered a complete defeat like in history. Once Teng County fell, the only strategic point left on the north side of Xuzhou was Taierzhuang. On the eastern front in Linyi, two sworn enemies were joining forces, how could it not make the war zone commander worried?
