Ma Hanshan forced himself to stop staring at the Silver Dollar, took a moment to collect his thoughts, and then said, "Throughout North China, the person harboring the most Japanese soldiers is Yan Laoxi in Jin Province; he has 15,000 under his command. Next is the Fourth Corps with 9,000 men. Currently, 6,000 of them are in the Northeast Jidong area—their exact positions still require investigation—but there are already 3,000 Japanese soldiers inside Beiping City."
Qin Shuli was shocked. "How could there be any in Beiping City?"
"Feng Xiuli, the Deputy Commander of the Fourth Corps, brought a brigade to garrison Beiping City. This brigade belongs to the 109th Division of the 16th Army. Inside it, there is a regiment where everyone, from the colonel down to the last of the 3,000 men, is a Japanese soldier."
