Chapter Eighty-four: Wolf Fang Strikes

  Tianjin, North China Garrison Command Commander's Office, Mei Zhen Meizhiluo stood in front of a huge North China military map, frowning and muttering to himself: "Renqiu, Renqiu..."

  Behind him, Tofu Hara's eyes stared at the place marked "Renqiu" on the map and said in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that there would be oil in Renqiu. The essence of North China is indeed in Renqiu."

  "Director-General, how is the 'Hunting Cloud' plan being carried out under your command?"

  "Currently being executed tightly."

  "Has Gu Xudong changed his mind?"

  When he mentioned Gu Xudong, Tsuchihara's expression turned cold and gloomy, and he said in a sinister tone: "Tomorrow is the final deadline for him. If he still refuses to surrender, then we can only make an example of him by killing his whole family!"

  Umezu turned around and gritted his teeth: "At that time, cut off the heads of his whole family and let those Chinese merchants know that our Imperial Army is not easy to get along with!"

  Gu Xudong is a well-known entrepreneur in Tianjin, and his companies, Jingyuan Salt Factory and Dali Alkali Plant, are both well-known enterprises in the industry, enjoying a certain reputation even in Asia. Tofu Hara and Mei Zhen dared to take drastic measures against him because they wanted to disrupt the 29th Army's plan to start businesses. The 29th Army itself had limited capabilities, and if it really wanted to set up large factories and enterprises, it could only rely on investments from businessmen. If all these businessmen turned to the Japanese side, it would undoubtedly cut off the economic lifeline of the Pingjin region. At that time, no matter how advanced technology Ouyang Yun mastered, without start-up capital, she could only talk about it - this plan was thought up by Tofu Hara's agency special agent "Blood Sakura", who believed that if Ouyang Yun had no funds to set up businesses, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial for her to execute the "Hunting Clouds" plan.

  Beiping, Wanping Military Camp. The personnel of the Academic Army who stayed in Beiping can be divided into four groups: Hu Xiang's Special Operations Group, Renqiu Special Police Squadron each left a part, the entire Special Duty Brigade, and the personnel of the Beiping Office responsible for liaison and recruitment.

  At one o'clock in the afternoon, Wanping Academic Army arrived at the barracks. The soldiers stood neatly lined up in front of the camp. Several flags were waving in the wind in front of the troops, and the soldiers of the Special Service Corps and the 1st Brigade were singing "Returning from Target Practice" in unison.

  "Returning from the Shooting Range" has been widely sung among soldiers since its release, and almost every veteran soldier can sing it. When the original 219th regiment's soldiers heard the neat and loud singing around them, they all showed envy on their faces.

  Military songs are also a manifestation of a unit's spiritual style, which can not only boost morale but also unite the military mind.

  In the midst of a loud and clear song, Ouyang Yun said goodbye to Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu one by one, then called Chu Tiange over to remind him of some things he should pay attention to regarding the Wolf Tooth training. As for Chu Tiange, he had originally intended to let him be the commander of the Special Operations Brigade, but this kid had been obsessed with the Wolf Tooth special training since participating in it and hadn't even gone back to Yan University. He trained more diligently than anyone else. If there wasn't a precedent that special training wouldn't become addictive, Ouyang Yun would have suspected that he was "poisoned". The Wolf Tooth, as a completely modern special forces unit, was his hope and the repository of his nostalgia for the past. He must grasp it in his own hands, so letting Chu Tiange be the commander of the brigade was not a bad choice.

  A few minutes later, the student brigade had already set off under the leadership of Chief of Staff Ji Xingwen and Deputy Brigade Commander Li Tieshu. At this time, a car sped to the gate of the camp, an officer got out of the car, Ouyang Yun saw that it was Guo Biao, and hurriedly went forward to greet him.

  "Brother Guo!" he shouted from afar.

  Kuo Pu saw him, his tense face relaxed, and then beckoned to the car. A slightly weak young man got off the bus, surprisingly it was Feng Yuanshu. He saw Ouyang Yun flying over, shouting: "Master!"

  Ouyang Yun smiled and walked over quickly, grabbing his shoulders with one hand, seeing the dust all over him and sweat stains on his face, asked: "Yuanxiu, what happened?"

  "Master, save my classmate."

  "Huh?"

  Under Feng Yuanxiu's narration, Ouyang Yun understood what was going on. One of his classmates, Gu Xiangyun, was the daughter of Tianjin entrepreneur Gu Xudong. Three days ago, Gu Xiangyun suddenly stopped coming to class, and her classmates thought she might be sick or taking a leave of absence for family reasons. It wasn't until the day before yesterday that Feng Yuanxiu accidentally overheard his uncle talking to someone at his uncle's house, and he found out that Gu Xiangyun had been kidnapped. He immediately rushed to the Gu residence to report the news, and then learned from Gu Xudong that the mastermind behind the kidnapping was a Japanese person, who wanted to coerce Gu Xudong into becoming a Japanese citizen.

  Gu Xu Dong was a rather ambitious and proud entrepreneur, so he refused to agree. The Japanese then threatened that if they didn't get a definite answer by tomorrow, they would tear up the contract.

  Kuo Piao was furious upon hearing this and cursed, "You little devil, you're too much! How can you do such a despicable thing?" He looked at Feng Yuanxiu again and said, "This little guy is quite clever, no matter how I ask him, he won't say anything. What? Do I look like a traitor?"

  Feng Yuanshu looked at Ouyang Yun without a word, but in his heart, he had a very firm idea: Master must have a good solution.

  Since Gu Lianyun was stabbed, Ou Yang Yun had been harboring a sense of indignation in his heart. Gu Lianyun was his woman, and the Japanese dared to lay hands on her, which had already provoked his boundless anger. Now they were even targeting the Pingjin merchants, which was something he could not tolerate. He knew Gu Xudong well, a renowned patriotic entrepreneur who had planned to invite him to develop the chemical industry in Renqiu. After hearing Feng Yuanshu's account, he couldn't help but burst into rage. With a cold smile, he said to Guo Biao: "Brother Guo, Yuanshu doesn't know our relationship, and this is his cautious consideration. Don't blame him - since the Japanese are being arrogant, I'll give them a show of color. Yuanshu, go back first and don't make any noise. Your classmate's matter is taken care of by her teacher, I guarantee she won't be in trouble!" While saying this, he had already made up his mind, thinking that since the Wolf Teeth Society was established, it hadn't experienced real combat yet. It was time to take out the horse and give it a ride, and the little devils were offering him an opportunity, which he couldn't let slip away.

  He saw off Feng Yuanyu and Guo Biao, then immediately gathered the Langya members and asked them with a stern expression: "A thousand days of training for one moment of use, who knows what my original intention was when I established Langya?"

  "This concept is what he often instilled in the Langya soldiers, Yang Qisheng stood up straight and replied: 'Using special training methods to cultivate special troops, to carry out special tasks.'"

  He smiled slightly and added: "Complete special tasks, gain special honor!" He raised his right hand and swung it forcefully: "Wolf's fang! Must win!"

  Yang Xucheng and others waved their arms and shouted in unison: "Langya! Must win!"

  "Great! The top five in the last comprehensive assessment are out!"

  Yang Xucheng and the other four soldiers took a step forward, standing proudly with their heads held high. Everyone else looked at them with envy in their eyes. It was clear that these five would be participating in this mission, while the others would have to follow the main troops to Renqiu.

  "Chu Tian Ge! Yang Xucheng! Xiong Dacheng! Zhang Huaming! Cheng Gang!" Ouyang Yun called out the names one by one, her eyes scanning each of their faces before turning to the others and shouting loudly: "Lu Jian!"

  Lu Jian stood up, a look of joy on his face, thinking he also had a share. However, Ou Yang Yun's next words poured a basin of cold water over him, saying: "Wolf Tooth's daily training will be your responsibility, are you confident?"

  "Yes!" He replied with his head held high and chest out - being able to take charge of the entire battalion's training affairs was also an honor.

  "Alright, disperse!" Ou Yang Yun left Chu Tian Ge and the other five people behind, issuing a dispersal order. After the others had dispersed, he led them to the military supply depot to receive guns, ammunition, and other equipment.

  Six people went to the military supply warehouse. On the way, Chu Tiange said with a smile: "Boss, it seems that our two anti-Japanese heroes are going to become six anti-Japanese heroes."

  Ouyang Yun sneered: "Don't be so smug, this time everyone participating in the operation must wear a mask, strictly forbidden to reveal their own identity."

  "Oh!"

  At the military warehouse, Ouyang Yun took charge and each person received a shotgun, a standard rifle, four hand grenades, and an additional Czech light machine gun. Each person also received 100 rounds of pistol ammunition, 100 rounds of rifle ammunition, and 300 rounds of machine gun ammunition. According to individual needs, Yang Xicheng also received five flying knives, and Zhang Huaming received a package of explosives.

  Then the six people took Ou Yangyun's car to Tianjin. At this time, the vanguard of the student army had already left the camp. Most of these people were riding in trucks, and looking at the somewhat grand fleet, Ou Yangyun said to himself in his heart: This is my troops! A sense of heroism and ambition arose spontaneously.

  At almost the same time, in the main hall of the Tianjin Tangguo Gu Mansion, Gu Xudong was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back and his brow furrowed. Several servants stood at attention by the door, all looking anxious as they gazed at their master; on a chair behind Gu Xudong, Madame Gu was sobbing uncontrollably with her head buried in the back of the chair. Their eldest daughter, Gu Haiping, was trying to comfort her mother while exchanging glances with her husband. However, her husband Huang Jincheng simply shook his head silently - the couple had intended to persuade Gu Xudong to accept the Japanese conditions and rescue their younger sister first, but just a moment ago, Madame Gu's casual mention of it had enraged Gu Xudong. Whenever something major happened in the Gu household, Gu Xudong was always in charge, so they didn't dare say anything more.

  As Gu Xu Dong's face turned increasingly ugly, Madam Gu, who knew her husband's temperament well, realized that he had made up his mind and was prepared to sacrifice their daughter. She couldn't help but cry even more sorrowfully, wailing: "Xiangyun, my poor daughter!" Gu Xu Dong sighed and was about to comfort his wife when the gatekeeper, Gu Er, rushed in, shouting from a distance: "Master, Huang Qiaozi and the others have come again."
