Chapter 313: Breaking the Cocoon

Chen Gongshu left.

Zhang Yong felt that he was not very happy when he left.

There might have been a little disappointment.

He took time out of his busy schedule to come to Songhu for a tour, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

He was sad...

He might not come again in the future...

'It's best if you don't come.'

'Don't ever come.'

Zhang Yong would be delighted.

The current Songhu office. How nice!

There is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is calling the shots. He, Zhang Yong, is that monkey.

In the eyes of those police academy students who don't know the details, he, Zhang Yong, is also very 'able to fight', he just doesn't fight.

If Chen Gongshu came, he would be beaten back to his original form in minutes.

Fortunately, no one saw it at the training ground. Otherwise, his lifelong reputation would be ruined...

'Ah...'

'Gently, gently...'

Zhang Yong suddenly screamed.

But it was Li Jingzhi applying the medicine. A little more strength, and it would be unbearable.

No, I need to take leave. I need to take leave too.

I was injured by Chen Gongshu.

I need paid leave...

'Don't pretend!' Li Jingzhi quietly bit her lip.

'I really hurt.' Zhang Yong gnashed his teeth.

Li Jingzhi...

was speechless.

It was just a minor skin wound.

Although it was caused by a fall. But she didn't think it was serious.

There really wasn't any particularly serious injury.

You're a man! How can a man be so weak? If you were injured in battle, you would be howling for half a day...

'Bear it!'

'It hurts...'

Zhang Yong suddenly saw Shen Dong'er poking her head in. So he waved her away.

What are you looking at?

You can't look...

'You come and help him rub it,' Li Jingzhi called out.

'Okay!' Shen Dong'er then came in, sat down next to him, reached out and gave him a gentle massage.

At first, Zhang Yong refused. He was afraid of the pain.

But...

Very soon...

he was overcome.

He couldn't even feel the pain. It was quite comfortable.

Hey, amazing!

This Shen Dong'er, she knows how to massage?

Good, in the future, I can take her home and make her my personal masseuse...

'What did Chief Chen come for?'

'To size me up.'

'Checking up?'

'Yes. The Director has tasked him and Wang Tianmu with teaching me the ropes.'

'I see.'

'What are you worried about?'

'I thought he was here to arrest Creeper.'

'He's the station manager of Tianjin Station. Wang Tianmu is the station manager of Beiping Station. They're both busy fighting the Japanese invaders. They don't have time to arrest communists.'

'That's good. Killing the Japanese invaders is the best thing to do.'

'You...'

Zhang Yong was about to speak, but stopped.

Damn it.

This Li Jingzhi. She hasn't given up her interest in the Creeper.

I really want to say that it's unknown whether the Creeper even exists. Maybe it's a fishing post arranged by the Director?

There may not even be a person called the Creeper in the Fuxing Society. But the Director deliberately put it out there, so that it can lure the snake out of its hole and draw out other Reds. Like Li Jingzhi, for example.

If she shows an excessive interest in the Creeper's movements, then it can be judged that she is problematic.

These are all common tactics used in spy dramas.

'Don't pry into other people's business.'

'I'm not prying.'

'If you really collude with the Reds, I can't protect you.'

'I understand.'

Li Jingzhi said slowly.

Zhang Yong could tell from the look in her eyes that she would not really accept it.

Alas, this woman is also convinced.

She has never given up looking for the Reds!

"Report!'

Luo Yiming's voice came from outside.

Shen Dong'er stopped massaging. Zhang Yong struggled to get up. He walked out the door.

'What is it?'

'Reporting, Captain, the ammunition from the garrison headquarters has arrived.'

'Oh? I'll go take a look!'

Zhang Yong's heart leapt with joy. Zhou Yang is so efficient?

It's only been a day, and the ammunition has already arrived? Wow. This is fast. Definitely a backdoor deal.

He went to the logistics office. He saw a truck. The license plate was from the garrison headquarters. It also had the symbol of the garrison headquarters on it. The ammunition had already been unloaded. There were 30 boxes in total. Each box contained 1,000 rounds.

'Open!'

'Yes!'

Soon, an ammunition box was opened.

Zhang Yong reached in and picked up a handful of bullets. He was a little surprised. They were actually heavy bullets.

In fact, this heavy bullet was most suitable for the Maxim heavy machine gun. It could shoot farther. The trajectory was more straight. It was not bad for the Czech-style light machine gun either.

Unfortunately, it's not a steel-core bullet. Otherwise, it would have no problem shooting the Japanese light tanks.

Thinking about the Japanese tanks, he frowned.

The thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese invaders were completely useless on the European battlefield. However, they were not easy to deal with on the Chinese battlefield.

The average 7.92 mm Mauser rifle bullet could not penetrate the pint-sized tanks.

Even the original imported ones were no good.

You had to use 12.7 mm bullets. That is, anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.

The problem is that these bullets are very scarce.

Moreover, the anti-aircraft machine guns currently in the national army's arsenal have very few bullets.

In fact, there is a very good anti-tank weapon.

It is the M2HB Browning heavy machine gun from the beautiful country. Later generations nicknamed it 'Laoganma'.

It can hit people.

It can hit tanks.

It can do manual labour.

The thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese invaders can be pierced with one shot.

The key is that it is not heavy and is easy to manoeuvre. It is a mature technology, low-cost and has a low failure rate.

It can almost be said to be the perfect heavy machine gun.

Yes, it is. We have to find a way to get some over here. If necessary, it will be a nightmare for the Japanese thin-skinned tanks.

'Thank you!'

'Thank you!'

Send the people from the garrison headquarters away.

He pondered secretly how to get the Laoganma...

Going through official channels definitely won't work.

It requires multiple layers of approval. He doesn't have that kind of clout yet.

He must go through the back door...

Not many, just a few dozen would be very useful.

Of course, they're not for head-on confrontation with the Japanese invaders. If he does that, he won't be able to compete with the Japanese grenade launchers.

He has to use them for ambushes.

Specially for ambushes.

Attack and retreat.

Evacuate immediately before the Japanese grenade launcher can react.

That's probably how it's done...

At dinner, he saw Li Jingzhi. She looked strange,

but didn't think anything of it. I thought she was secretly worried about that creep again.

Suddenly, Li Jingzhi stood up and walked over to him with her cutlery in hand. Everyone around them looked at her curiously. Then, things returned to normal.

Li Jingzhi's face turned slightly red as she sat down in front of Zhang Yong.

'What is it?'

'Tonight...'

'What?'

'Come back and sleep.'

'Huh?'

Zhang Yong was a little surprised.

He didn't expect her to say such a thing.

But he didn't ask any further. He knew she must have a reason. Maybe she had something to tell him in person.

'Okay!'

he agreed, bowing his head.

Li Jingzhi then got up and left.

Shen Dong'er suddenly came over and sat in front of Zhang Yong as well.

Zhang Yong: ?

What are you going to say now?

"Today, Team Leader Chen said something unintentionally. You're just like an older sister.'

'What?'

'You haven't consummated your marriage yet! Someone noticed.'

'You...'

Zhang Yong: ...

Shit, so that's what it was about.

No wonder Li Jingzhi looked so strange. She told him to go back to bed, so she wanted to consummate the marriage?

Hm...

That's a bit of a bold idea!

He wouldn't dare force himself on her. She's not a Japanese spy. And he's not an animal.

'Next month, I have to take a physical examination.'

'What?'

'Next month, I have to take a physical examination. It'll blow the cover.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong understood.

It was indeed not easy to cover up this matter.

She was the woman he had brought back himself. But it turned out that she was still a virgin. This was not in line with the image he had created for her!

He was a greedy and lustful guy. How could he let her go?

Anyone with a discerning eye would definitely find something fishy going on.

Alas, a difficult problem had arisen...

What exactly was her attitude? If she took the initiative, he definitely would not refuse...

He had long had thoughts about her.

He had long wanted to claim her for himself.

In the evening, he returned to the dormitory. Li Jingzhi had already cleaned up. She went to bed. Shen Dong'er had not returned. She was the only one in the dormitory.

'Do you want to continue to stay in the telecommunications group?'

'Yes.'

'You...'

Zhang Yong had a bad feeling.

Although Li Jingzhi was actually very weak and sometimes very scared, her dream of aspiring to the light had never died.

She has now joined the Restoration Society and the telecommunications team, and she probably realises that. This is a very important position. There, she can get hold of a lot of top-secret information.

One day, she will bravely turn to the light.

Although this path is dangerous and rough, she still wants to give it a try.

Sometimes, you have to admire her courage.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

'You've thought it through. I'm not a good person. And I won't be responsible for you.'

'You're a good person if you kill the Japanese invaders.'

'Then...'

Zhang Yong blew out the light.

It was late at night, with insects chirping and cats meowing.

In the dappled darkness, a cocoon quietly cracked open...

The next day, Zhang Yong got up slowly.

Li Jingzhi had already got up early. She was packing the bedding. She should be fine.

Last night, he was the gentlest he had ever been. She was a mature woman and could handle it.

The biggest problem has been solved. She will break out of the cocoon.

Perhaps, in ten years' time, she will have already joined the bright side of the camp...

After thinking about this, he got up. He washed up. He went to have breakfast.

On the way back, he deliberately passed by the telecommunications department and happened to see Li Jingzhi busy at work.

It looked like she was completely normal. She had already fully integrated into this role.

Suddenly, a strange thought occurred to him...

What if...

she became the head of the telecommunications department in the future...

and secretly joined the Red Party...

When the new China is founded, should I address her as 'Leader'?

Heh heh...

I'm looking forward to it...

He returned to Li Boqi's office with a light step.

Well, Li Boqi wasn't there. He often took over other people's work. Anyway, he wasn't afraid of being reported. At most, he would be scolded. He got used to it.

'Yang Zhi!'

'Yes!'

'Take your team and let's go to the concession.'

'Yes.'

'No need to carry weapons.'

'Okay!'

Yang Zhi agreed.

Last time in the concession, there was a house where weapons were stored.

It was still the Tang family's mansion.

Set off.

Each used a fake identity to enter the concession. Then gather.

Go get the weapons.

Then quietly head to Bulo Street.

Bulo Street is a bit messy. The street is not long. About 200 meters. Mainly Italians.

No matter what country people are from, when they are in a foreign land, they like to stick together. The Italians are no exception.

However, the more Zhang Yong watched, the more he felt that these Italians were probably not engaged in any honest business. No wonder they were from Sicily.

Many of them carried guns openly at their waists.

It seemed that they were all Italian-made Beretta 1934 pistols? The characteristic of this gun is that the barrel is very short, making it easy to carry. However, the magazine capacity is only seven rounds.

But in any case, the Beretta company is still a force to be reckoned with. The Beretta 92F pistol, which was later developed, has become one of the world's classics.

'Hello, I'm looking for Tanavaro...'

'Hello, I'm looking for Tanavaro...'

After some difficult communication, Tanavaro was finally seen.

At this moment, the Italian businessman was losing at the poker table. He was desperately smoking a cigar.

When he saw Zhang Yong arrive, he jumped up dramatically, opened his arms wide and gave Zhang Yong a warm hug. Zhang Yong was almost overcome by the strong cigar smell.

Before he could react, he was being held in the other person's arms and lifted high into the air.
