Chapter 15 Chapter Four

On March 28, the Japanese army attacked again with reinforcements.Code-named "Guerrilla Sentinel", Tang Enbo Tang's army swam but did not fight, fearing the enemy and avoiding battles, and only wanted to preserve their strength. As a result, the frontal pressure on Taierzhuang increased sharply, and they were forced to engage in street fighting with the enemy repeatedly.The enemy and the enemy each occupied half of the village, fighting house by house, digging holes in the walls, throwing grenades at each other, often sacrificing dozens of people, nearly a hundred people in order to win a small house.The officers and soldiers of the 31st Division fought bloody battles, and were ordered to guard until every soldier died, serving the country with death.

On the same day, the Central News Agency released news, and major newspapers also published newsletters in prominent positions, reporting on the frontline battles in the Taiwan War, saying: Our soldiers fought bravely and killed thousands of enemies before the battle. Taierzhuang is still firmly controlled by our army. The ancient city of Xuzhou impregnable. The next day, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Sun Lianzhong to take turns filling in Taierzhuang with troops.Jiang Yun: "Taierzhuang's gains and losses, related to international audio-visual, must stick to it." Afterwards, Sun successively filled in three divisions and one brigade, and two recruit regiments in turn.On April 2, the Wu Minglin Regiment of the 30th Division was transferred to the command of Chifengcheng of the 31st Division after dusk, and only a dozen officers and soldiers remained when they withdrew at dawn the next day.The Japanese army also paid a very heavy price for this.

During this period, rumors abounded in the war zone, and Japanese spies were active, setting fire and poisoning, and spying on our army's movements.On the night of the 28th, a spy secretly posted Japanese propaganda materials in Xiyan Town, but was captured by our soldiers and civilians on the spot and executed immediately.On the same day, the Relocation Supervision Committee issued an order to the Chinese company to relocate and mine mines, and telegraphed the general manager Zhang Daren, who would send an explosion team into the mines to assist in the implementation within a few days.The next day, Li Xiongfei left Xuzhou, and the plan to co-host Xiangchuan fell through.On the 30th, Hoffman, the director of the Hankou Office of the German Lihe Company, and his team of five, accompanied by the mining director Qian Jun, rushed to Xiyan.On April 1st, Tian Guiyang, the engineering platoon leader of the national army, led 31 soldiers to the company...

On April 2nd, another unexpected thing happened: Liu Renjie, the director of the sales department, met a mysterious person in the Firework Lane of Xiyan Town... Liu Renjie is indeed considered an outstanding man, despite his plain appearance, small head, small brain, small nose and small eyes, his body is as thin as a shadow, but he has great supernatural powers.Most of the fame of China Coal Mine Corporation overseas is due to his punching and kicking.In business, even the British businessman Drocker fears him three points.For a long time, he has been highly valued by Zhang Da people, and his monthly salary is as high as 1,100 yuan.He is a well-known economic expert and foreign affairs expert in the company, and his status is very important, especially on the Japanese side, even above the Zhangda people.

The Japanese have long believed that Liu Renjie is a Chinese with a good breed, which is really rare.If all the Chinese were as open-minded as Liu Renjie, reasonable and modest, the disaster of a war between China and Japan could be completely avoided. In the spring of the 20th year of the Republic of China, Liu Renjie rushed to Japan on behalf of the company and signed a coal sales contract with the Japanese Showa Iron Works.Afterwards, the Japanese side organized a reception.At the reception, a Japanese soldier publicly yelled: "Soon, Xiyan Coal Mine will become the energy base of the Great Japanese Empire." Liu Renjie was able to remain calm and raised his glass frequently.Suzuki, the manager of Showa, boasted in admiration: "Liu Jun is really a gentleman, and he will become a great weapon in the future!" Renjie smiled peacefully and didn't talk to him, but he couldn't help feeling complacent in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this matter spread to the company through unknown channels, and the staff and others were very angry, secretly calling him an oriental dog. Liu Renjie doesn't care.He has no shame in his heart.He is loyal to the company and Zhang Daren.Zhang Daren entrusted him to open up financial resources for Chinese companies, but did not entrust him to defend the dignity of the country, nor did Chairman Jiang make such an entrustment.He's a sales chief, not a politician.Besides, even a politician needs to have some strategies, and he can't be brave for a while!Didn't Generalissimo Jiang do the same thing?

Liu Renjie is a good breed——is the opinion of Japanese friends still wrong?It must be excellent!His character is also impeccable, he is loyal to his duty, pays attention to credit, has neither alcohol addiction nor gambling addiction, and is almost close to half a perfect person.However, he is not perfect after all, - he is too erotic, often takes care of the brothel business, and the whores he has engaged in can form an international column, including Japanese women, Russian women, Thai women, and naturally, there are also Chinese women .He always felt that Chinese women were inferior to Japanese women.Liu Renjie also knows how to be patriotic and self-respecting!Engaging Japanese women reveals a strong patriotic spirit.he thinks.

Xiyan Town is Liu Renjie's paradise.After the Chinese company set up a mine here, it stimulated the continuous renewal of this small village and town. In just over ten years, this little-known little place has suddenly taken off.Numbered by latitude and longitude, three longitudes and four latitudes, seven or eight streets were built.There are no prostitutes, and there are three listed brothels in Xiyan Town alone, with nearly a hundred prostitutes.The number of prostitutes cannot be counted.In the 19th year, a theater troupe came to a certain county in Henan Province. Due to poor sales, they could not survive. They had to sing during the day and prostitute at night.

This prostitution is divided into grades and grades.A popular prostitute rents out her own room, and she is quite selective about her customers. Even if a poor kiln worker has thousands of taels of silver, she would never want to touch her; There are many rules, and each "rule" is nothing more than asking clients for money in different ways.The business of dirty brothels has always been prosperous, and the root cause is nothing more than "small profits but quick turnover".Generally speaking, this kind of brothel does not stay overnight, the old ones are seen off at the front door, and the new ones are welcomed at the back door.The most tragic thing is that those pheasants are often only three-cornered, or even a pancake, and people have to fiddle with it.

Xiyan Town is prosperous and "prostitutes" flourish.Amidst the prosperity and "prostitution" year after year, people's moral concepts are subtly changing, and "all evils and prostitution are the first" no longer has the authority to persuade good and abstain from evil.Gambling is no longer openly cursed by people, and the Sanjiabao game is openly opened on Jingsanlu, with so many tricks that it is dazzling.Every month at the end of the month, when the company pays wages, every social nerve in Xiyan Town is excited, the streets are full of whores, treasure cases, wine stalls, and swindlers.Many kiln workers came out of the gate of Xiyan Mine and could not walk to the mining area district office 500 meters away, and their wages for one month disappeared.The arrival of the war failed to affect the prosperity of Xiyan Town, but to a large extent stimulated it even crazier.A few days ago, a mobile unit of the national army was stationed here, and it took care of the business of the brothel. When it was ordered to leave, it even threw a battalion commander and several soldiers on the whore's bunk.For a while, it was spread as a legend, which had a bad effect on the reputation of the national army.

Liu Renjie is not as low as ordinary people. He never pays attention to low-grade brothels, and generally does not set foot in second-rate brothels, such as Qiuyue Pavilion. He wants to maintain integrity and style.A few days ago, Li Jiaojiao, who was as beautiful as a flower, was listed for the first time at night. He felt that it was necessary to take care of him, so he went, so he was followed by that ghostly figure. It was a gloomy night, with no moon and no stars.Liu Renjie hosted a wedding banquet for Li Jiaojiao at the Yingchun Building. After eating, it was around ten o'clock when they arrived at Jiaojiao's incense room.After closing the door, he looked at Jiaojiao with dim drunken eyes, and couldn't help but feel excited. That Jiaojiao is indeed dignified and charming, especially her skin, which is as fine and white as jade, is really endearing; her eyes are like two clear springs, her eyelashes are black and long, fluttering and flickering, making her look even more charming.Jiaojiao was obviously uneasy about what was about to happen, her slender body and arms trembled slightly, and when she handed over a cup of tea, she actually splashed Liu Renjie. A powerful torrent suddenly expanded to Liu Renjie's whole body. He grabbed Jiaojiao's hand, completely disregarding many rules and etiquette on the scene, and frantically peeled off the buttons on Jiaojiao's cheongsam... At first, Jiaojiao tried her best After struggling for a while, when she felt her whole body was limp as if she was drunk, all the resistance was lifted.Panting, Liu Renjie hugged her to the bed... Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door of the room. Liu Renjie ignored it at first, but the man paused for a moment, then continued to knock.Liu Renjie got angry, opened the door, and cursed viciously before seeing the visitor's face clearly: "Bastard! Find me to report the funeral?! Get out! Get out!" But the man didn't leave, and stood upright, with two knife-like eyes poking straight at Liu Renjie's thin and withered face, with a majestic and upright air, and his words were neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't disturb you at this time, this place! But, I have something important and need to talk to you alone. I wonder if you will allow me." Liu Renjie buttoned up his coat, and immediately regained his senses. He vaguely felt that this person came in a bad way, and nine times out of ten he had an important mission.So, she sent away Jiaojiao who was by her side. "who are you?" "I think we should know each other. At Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., we met." "Japanese..." Liu Renjie almost screamed, he knew what it meant to be in contact with such a Japanese at this time!He shook his head: "Can't remember." "Last year, I sold Rendan here. Here, it's the same attire. Didn't you notice it?" good!Someone sold Rendan in Xiyan Town until the beginning of this year. There are different folklore, saying that Japanese spies ran around under the guise of selling Rendan to spy on economic intelligence.At that time, someone reported it to the district office, but the district office did not take it seriously. Liu Renjie shook his head again: "Never noticed!" The man smiled: "Okay, I understand your difficulties! We can count it as our first meeting. Let me introduce myself: Ichiro Takahashi." Liu Renjie's eyelids twitched: "Please be straightforward, this is not your country Tokyo!" "Okay!" Takahashi sat down on the chair next to the square table, "Mr. Suzuki from the Showa Steel Works greeted Mr. Liu and asked me to get in touch with Mr. Liu quickly. I have been following you for a few days, but I really can't find a suitable one." Opportunities and occasions, that's why I interrupted you very impolitely..." "What exactly do you want to do?" Takahashi solemnly said: "Through you, I want to negotiate with Mr. Zhang Daren, the general manager of China Coal Mine Co., Ltd., and ask him to protect Xiyan Mining in the spirit of goodwill between Japan and China, and prepare for the Japan-China joint event!" Liu Renjie's narrow and long forehead was wet, and he wiped it with trembling hands: "This... this..." Gao Qiao noticed Liu Renjie's uneasiness, and said again: "Of course, if it's not convenient for you, we can still pass someone else, it's just—" "Slow! Let me think..." Liu Renjie put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, bent his waist slightly, and started to walk slowly.He didn't know whether he was doing a good thing or a bad thing for Zhang Daren now.The national army on the front line in Taierzhuang was bleeding desperately, and Liu Renjie, as a Chinese, colluded with Japanese secret agents at this time. From a conscience point of view, it was unjustifiable anyway.However, he is not for himself, but for the people of Zhang Da, for the Chinese company, and for another industry of the Chinese nation that is about to fall into the hands of the enemy!For the sake of personal innocence, he can completely drive Gao Qiao away, and even let the military and police arrest him, fly away by himself, and hide in the rear to work as an apartment—he has a lot of savings and can live comfortably for ten or twenty years .But he can't do that!The company is in crisis, he wants to help, he has to be worthy of Zhang Daren, the general manager who values ​​him so much, he can't be a disloyal person. Zhang Daren was kind to him. In his early years, he studied in Japan, where he studied mining and economics, with great ambitions.After returning to China, he was repeatedly treated coldly, and he has never been able to display his talents.It wasn't until Zhang Daren founded a Chinese company, and he took Ji Xiangnan's post to his door, that he was able to take off.Zhang Daren was not suspicious of employing people, and he was quite courageous, so he subdued him at once.Twenty years after the "national humiliation incident" happened, Zhao Minquan, who had always been dissatisfied with him, took this as the subject of criticism, and repeatedly spoke to Zhang Daren, demanding that he be dealt with.Frightened by the public opinion, Zhang Daren once gave him admonishment in public, but secretly sent someone to send a check for 2,000 yuan.Zhang Daren didn't say anything, didn't pretend to comfort him, but comforted him with silent but powerful actions.When he received the check, he was moved to tears... Now, he must stand up!Even Zhang Da people must stand up!As a man, you have to be a little masculine!After the failure, he is willing to bear all the consequences!He has no bad intentions for the company, but under extremely difficult circumstances, he left a way out for the company. Even if Zhang Daren disagrees, he will never blame him!He is so sincere! Thinking passionately and generously, in a trance, Liu Renjie felt that he was as glorious and great as the warriors on the front line of Taierzhuang, and he was undoubtedly a model of loyalty and patriotism.He was moved by himself. He nodded his heavy head: "Okay! I'll convey it."
