Chapter 883 I Can Act as Myself
The mountain road was rugged and the group of people and horses formed a long queue.
Xiang Chu and others rode horses and took carriages into Laoshan.
Xu Lai, carrying the film equipment, sat in the carriage and said in disbelief:
"Brother Chu! I didn't expect that Laoshan is so close to Qingdao, and there are guerrillas there."
Xiang Chu said solemnly: "Now as long as it is behind enemy lines, no matter how powerful the enemy is, there is resistance everywhere. It is simply a foolish dream for the devils to occupy China."
Xu Lai looked at the towering mountains and said thoughtfully: "But the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, as well as the Anti-Japanese United Army, are deep behind enemy lines, and it's really not easy to fight."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "It is indeed not easy. We have to snatch weapons and ammunition from the devils, and we are short of clothes, food and medicine. The combat environment is very harsh."
At this time, Gan Rong rode forward and said with a wry smile: "Chief! Doihara Ken'er and Takahashi Taisho were ambushed by the guerrillas and fled on horseback without knowing where to go."
Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Forget it! This Doihara Xian'er is really lucky. Oh, right! Where is Yamashita Yoshiaki?"
Gan Rong shook his head and said, "I didn't see Ji Qiu running away with them down the mountain. Maybe he escaped into Laoshan."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Let's go! We are going into the mountains to shoot a movie, so we can look for him on the way."
To the south of Laoshan Mountain, there is the Qing River.
Doihara Kan'ei and Takahashi Taisho rode their horses and fled to the river.
The men and horses were exhausted, so they stopped by the river, gasping for breath.
Doihara Kenji looked back at the steep Laoshan Mountain and said bitterly:
"I never thought there were Eighth Route Army guerrillas in this mountain."
Takahashi Taisho said thoughtfully: "General! I think it is someone from our Langya Detachment."
Doihara Xianer shouted angrily: "Baga! Do you still dare to say that our Langya Detachment wants to surrender to the enemy and sell out our country?"
Takahashi Taisho hastily shook his head and said, "Of course not! Taisho hates the Chinese so much, why don't they take the initiative to accept the rule of the empire?"
Doihara Xian'er slapped his forehead and shouted: "Where are Ji Qiu and the old Taoist?"
Takahashi Taisho smiled bitterly and said, "They are in the back, captured by the Eighth Route Guerrillas."
Doihara Xianer sighed, "Alas! Ji Qiu will definitely be beaten to death by the Chinese. In order to comfort his soul, I decided to destroy the Chinese Anti-Japanese United Army and then go to Shandong to replace him..."
Takahashi Taisho listened with his ears pricked up, and when he saw him breathing heavily, he continued, "Avenge him!"
But the ruthless Doihara Xian'er smiled and said, "No! Marry him the sweet girl from Dagukou Village."
Gao Qiao Dazheng said dissatisfiedly: "General! You should marry the fat girl from Zangjia Village and give the sweet girl to Dazheng. It is too unfair for you to marry two women."
Doihara Kan'er shouted angrily, "Baka! This general is trying to emulate the head of the Shadow Agency. No! This general will surpass him in every aspect. Let's go! Take the boat back to the base camp immediately."
Takahashi Taisho asked in confusion: "General! Shouldn't we go to Manchuria?"
Doihara Kenji smiled mysteriously and said, "No! The headquarters is going to carry out a top-secret mission against China, and I am one of the implementers."
Takahashi Taisho sneered, "What's so strange about this? Isn't it just trying to kill more Chinese people?"
Doihara Kan'er said sternly: "Taisho! For the sake of the holy war of the empire, you are not allowed to have any complaints. Let's go!"
"Hello!"
Takahashi Taisho hurriedly accepted the order.
Chongqing, Military Intelligence Bureau meeting room.
Dainong is convening a meeting of all personnel at the department level and above.
He took out his little notebook and said seriously:
"Everyone! The Wang Puppet Government will hold a 'return to the capital ceremony' in Nanjing at the end of March to unify the various puppet governments and establish a puppet national government. They will also publish the 'Ten Policies for Peaceful Nation Building'. This is absolutely intolerable. Ahem! Ahem!"
Dai Nong was very emotional and started coughing as he spoke.
Everyone held their breath and listened to him announce the next task.
Dai Nong punched the conference table and said angrily, "Mr. sir has ordered us to fight the Wang Puppet regime's 'return to the capital ceremony' at all costs. If we fail to complete the task, we intend to bring our heads to see Mr. sir."
The attendees tried hard to hold back their laughter. How could Dai Nong lift his own head? He was not Shen Gongbao.
Dai Nong, who was a man who saw through the thoughts of everyone present, sneered:
"Everyone! This bureau has issued a military order to Mr. Xiang. If you fail to complete this strike mission, this bureau will take your heads."
Everyone sat up straight in a hurry, worried that he would order someone to take action.
Dai Nong ordered: "Assistant Zheng! Lead your team to infiltrate Nanjing, and you can choose any man you want. You must strike at all costs to defeat the return ceremony."
Zheng Jie opened his mouth in shock, knowing that Dai Nong disliked him for being too close to Chen Guo and others recently, and repeatedly said bad things about him behind his back.
He pondered for a while, then said with a fake smile: "Director! This task is too heavy. Is there anyone in Nanjing who can help me?"
Dai Nong did not intend to coax him this time, and shook his head and said, "The military control stations in Nanjing, Qingdao and other places behind enemy lines have all been destroyed by Li Shiqun, Wang Tianmu and the gang of traitors No. 76. You will have to open up the situation yourself after you go there."
Zheng Jie was surprised and said, "You want to open up the situation yourself? I heard that the mission in Qingdao was completed very well, even with the help of a master. Why not send another master to help us complete the mission in Nanjing?"
Dai Nong didn't expect that this guy had his eyes on Xiang Chu, so he shook his head and said, "Nanjing is not like Qingdao, you need to complete it yourself. If you continue to refuse this task, you can resign."
Submitting a resignation is tantamount to destroying one's future, and Zheng Jie would never do that even if he were beaten to death.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "In that case, I will bring along a few people who went to Qingdao to carry out the mission last time."
Dai Nong had expected this and said with a wry smile, "Assistant Zheng! There are still three people left in Qingdao to carry out the mission. They just left Qingdao and it took them at least a month to get back to Chongqing. It's too late."
Zheng Jie said helplessly: "Okay! I will make a list of people to carry out the task, and all departments must cooperate when the time comes."
In order to win him over, Mao Feng wrote a line of words on the paper next to him: "Brother! Can you ask Miss Song for help?"
Zheng Jie understood what he meant, and he immediately felt relieved. A bold guess formed in his mind.
Qingdao, Laoshan Ancient Road Temple.
Xiang Chu and Xu Lai brought everyone and the filming equipment here.
The head Taoist priest Xuan Zhenzi arrived back at the Taoist temple before them and stepped forward to greet them.
Xiang Chu explained his purpose and presented a large sum of money for incense.
Xuan Zhenzi politely declined, "Sir! If you want to make a patriotic film, our temple will naturally have the responsibility to cooperate with you. If you want to make a film that praises the Japanese and whitewashes the peace, then we will not discuss it at all."
Xu Lai smiled and said, "We want to film the Taoist priest of Mount Laoshan, such as the story of walking through walls, and you can play a role in it."
Movies are a rare thing these days. It is a great honor for anyone to be able to appear on the screen, and it is something they can brag about for the rest of their lives.
Xuan Zhenzi stroked his beard and thought, "Photographing the Taoist priest of Mount Laoshan? Can it be combined with fighting the Japanese?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Of course you can! You can kill the devils with skills like flying over eaves and walls, and walking through walls."
Xuan Zhenzi smiled and said, "Sir! Can we use the political commissar of the Langya detachment as the prototype?"
Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "Master! Why did you choose to film based on the political commissar of the Langya detachment?"
Xuan Zhenzi pulled him aside and whispered, "Because the political commissar is a strange man. He has never shown his face, but he was able to develop an army of 100,000 people and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese. Who else would we not praise for such a hero?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Okay! Just play the political commissar of the Langya detachment. I can play myself."
