Chapter 153: On the eve of the battle

Captain Liu asked Lao Yang and Lu Gang what they said? Let Lu Gang's face no longer be dull, and at this time, when he saw Xiao Lin and Cao Gang Leader running towards here, there was no squeak.

"Brother Pole." Xiao Lin and Cao Gang Leader came out of breath. Tell Lu Gang that the Sakahara troops in Shatou Town are out of town.

"Reliable intelligence?" Lao Yang asked.

"Why are you back so soon?" Lu Gang also asked.

"Don't worry, don't worry, go into the house and drink saliva." Captain Liu saw that the two of them were angry and couldn't win, and hurriedly asked them to go to Lao Yang's residence first. Lao Yang said to Wheat to call Captain Chen and Li Laihai, so he and Lu Gang followed Captain Liu into the house.

Xiao Lin took a sip of water, his complexion was much better, and his mood calmed down. He said: "Teacher Yang, we saw, yesterday we walked for a night, there was no rest at all, today about three watches, I followed the Cao gang master to the village opposite Shatou, came to the riverside, looked, the boat is gone, there is a person on the shore of the dock, take a closer look is the landlord's, a touch of the early run out of gas." ”

"Yes, it's the landlord, the guy who watched the horses for us. He died, and the ship didn't know where it went. Later, Kobayashi and I had to go to nearby people to ask about the situation, but most of them didn't know. Xiao Lin and I discussed whether it was snatched by the little devils. It was too dark at night to see the situation on the other side clearly, so I decided to find a place to bury the landlord first. Cao Gang Master added.

"Later, after we disposed of the landlord's body, it was almost dawn. We were all taken aback when we hid in the house and looked from the window in the direction of Shatou Town, the big boat was parked on the pier in Shatou Town. As soon as we pondered, the devil must have come to join the boy Kameda in robbing the boat. Cao said.

Xiao Lin continued the words of the Cao gang leader and said: "I said that seeing is believing, and I pulled the Cao gang leader to watch it for a long time, until it was dawn, we really saw Sakahara with the devil on the boat, so we quickly ran back, this is the case, it is true that Sakahara's devil came out." ”

"But how did the ship get there? So how did the landlord die? Captain Liu was puzzled.

"Don't ask about this, the Japanese know a lot about water, and it's easy to cross the river and seize the boat, let alone kill a person in his sleep. Gang Leader Cao, how many people can your ship carry? Lao Yang said.

"It can ship 100 people, including the bottom floor, up to 150 people." Cao said.

"How many devils are there in town?" Lao Yang asked again.

"Including the puppet army of the traitor Captain Zhao who was killed by Lu Gang, it is estimated that there are more than 300 people." Gang Master Cao replied again.

Lao Yang listened thoughtfully, and at this time, Head Chen and Li Laihai came in. Lao Yang said that they came just in time.

Head Chen saw Xiao Lin and Cao Gang Leader and asked Lao Yang, "Is it that Sakahara's devil also dispatched?" ”

Lao Yang said: "Yes. All that's left is how to arrange the troops. Just morning, Lu Gang proposed to go to Caijia Village to destroy the devil's artillery, I don't think it's necessary, so I stopped him, one is to take risks, the other is that the enemy must be strictly guarded, and the third is that he is not completely sure, and I am determined to stop the sneak attack by one person or several people. ”

"Lu Gang, are you afraid? In fact, the devil's artillery is not terrible, as long as you pay attention to prevention, build strong fortifications, if the devil's cannon goes off, hide, I don't think the devil has anything to do with us. Head Chen said.

"How to hide? The devil's cannon didn't have eyes. Captain Liu said.

Lu Gang looked at Regiment Commander Chen and said: "I'm not saying I'm afraid, I'm afraid that those soldiers who have no combat experience will suffer, they won't be able to defend or hide, and when they panic, they will have no spirit, how many times do you want me to say it, Commander Chen?" When he heard that Head Chen began to mention this again, Lu Gang really didn't feel good in his heart, he was thinking in his heart that Head Chen was misunderstanding him and saying that he was timid.

"Lu Gang, you misunderstood, Captain Chen, didn't he mean that? Head Chen, you have experience, tell me about it. Lao Yang said.

Regiment Commander Chen glanced at Lu Gang and said with a smile: "What I mean is actually very simple, as long as the devil's cannon sounds, we will retreat and leave the position, and as soon as the devil's cannon stops, the devil will rush up, and then we will return to the position to block the attack." ”

"Commander Chen, if the devil attacks while firing artillery, and when the cannon stops, we will return to the position, I'm afraid that the little devil has already arrived in front of the position, can this work?" Lu Gang said.

"How is that possible? According to the usual practice of the devils, this is their method of attack. Head Chen still insisted on his own opinion.

"Haven't they changed? I don't believe it. Mr. Yang, I think Head Chen's suggestion is too negative. Just now you criticized me, saying that I was reckless, I love to engage in personal heroism, and you didn't let me go to Caijia Village to blow up the devil's artillery, think about the concerns you raised, I accept them, I won't go, but I don't agree with what Commander Chen said, it's too easy to say, at that time, the real devils will attack together with the artillery fire, will we really take the initiative as Commander Chen said? Lu Gang vetoed Chen's proposal.

"And what do you think?" Lao Yang listened to Lu Gang's words and felt that there was some truth, so he asked Lu Gangdao to see what ideas he would come up with.

"At present, the first task is to destroy the devil's artillery first." Lu Gang said softly.

"Ah, you still want to blow it up? To Caijia Village? Lao Yang glared at Lu Gang: "Didn't I tell you about the relationship?" Why just can't you listen? You say it again, Ge Laozi, I, I have to hammer you. ”

"No, Mr. Yang, listen to me." Lu Gang dodged Lao Yang's raised fist, stepped back and said, "Teacher Yang, Head Chen, I mean to set up an ambush on the side of a road that must be passed by your station to Qingxiu Mountain. ”

"I remember, it's the place where Brother Pole and I stopped the dog that day, there are many hills, it's a good place to ambush, Brother Pole, isn't it there?" Xiao Lin interjected and said.

"Yes, that's it. I didn't expect you to think about things like a pig's brain. Mr. Yang, I mean set up an ambush there. Lu Gang looked at Lao Yang and said.

"Oh, come, come, sit and talk." Lao Yang became interested.

Everyone followed Lao Yang and became excited, seeing that everyone was looking at themselves, Lu Gang sat at the table and said again: "I think so, set up an ambush there, mainly to fight the devil's artillery unit, send people there as soon as possible and lurk there, because it is not clear when the devil will come to invade us, Sakahara in Shatou will come here to meet Kameda, how long will it take to get here, Cao Gang Master?" ”

"Based on what we've seen, it's estimated that Sakahara will only take a morning to get to us, and I really don't know if I've arrived or not." Cao said.

"Can you be sure if they're going down in a boat or on a dry road." Lu Gang asked again.

"The boat started, it didn't come to us, it could be seen clearly, it went straight to the west, the devil was on the waterway, we all saw it." Kobayashi said affirmatively.

"I don't think Sakahara will come to Qingxiu Mountain alone, and he will definitely join Kameda and them, but we don't know when they will meet, we must rush in front of the devils to do it unconsciously ambush on the mountain they must pass, condescending, and wait for the vanguard of the devils to pass, and then take the opportunity to intercept their artillery troops, catch him by surprise, and then quickly withdraw from the position, take the mountain road back to the Qingxiu Mountain position."

"What if the devil's artillery is in front?" Lao Yang asked questions.

"It's better to go ahead, we lay earthmines there beforehand, and we can blow them up as well." Lu Gang said with confidence.

"What if the devil doesn't come today, tomorrow?" Head Chen threw out a question.

And so on. I will send Xiaolin and Mai to reconnoiter near Caijia Village, and as soon as the devils are dispatched, they will report to us immediately. Lu Gang replied very simply.

Lao Yang nodded when he heard this, and looked at Head Chen. Head Chen said with a smile: "This is a good way, first, it can disrupt the devil's position, and second, it can wear out the arrogance of the devil." ”

"Also, it can be a great morale boost. Hahaha. Lao Yang's laughter infected the whole room.

"Okay, just follow Lu Gang's suggestion, Lu Gang, how many people do you plan to send?" Lao Yang asked.

"Don't have too many people, it's only suitable for a few people to ambush, there are not many objects to cover, sparse trees, and the grass is not too lush at this time, I think five or six people are enough." Lu Gang thought for a while and said.

"I'm one." Li Laihai took the initiative to ask for battle. He said, "Just let me take my warriors with me, you don't have to go." ”

"Do you want to steal the credit, Camp Commander Li?" Xiao Lin said: "My brother came up with the idea, why did you let you go?" It's not your turn yet, and I'm going to go, isn't it? Brother Pole. ”

"You go away, there's nothing you said here. Teacher Yang, Camp Commander Li and I just need to bring a few people. Lu Gang drank Xiao Lin's interjection and said to Lao Yang: "I don't know if Captain Chen is willing?" I think their fighting quality is stronger than that of Captain Liu and others. ”

As soon as Commander Chen heard Lu Gang speak like this, he said: "Lu Gang, even if you have vision, I like to listen, I don't agree with Battalion Commander Li, who agrees?" Battalion Commander Li has asked for his own help, why wouldn't I agree to him going, you kid sees me too much as a little family, okay, Battalion Commander Li, everything is under Lu Gang's command. ”

"Captain Liu, you organize some people to bring Lei and prepare to set off immediately." Lu Gang said to Captain Liu.

"Brother, I haven't eaten yet." Lu Wei called her brother.

Lu Gang said that he couldn't wait, if the devil took the lead, everything would be in vain. After speaking, he walked out with Li Laihai.

"Wait." Watching them go out, Lao Yang stopped them, looked at them and said affectionately, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

"Battalion Commander Li, go and select capable soldiers, Cui Qi, you and Battalion Commander Li will go together." After Chen finished speaking, he called Cui Qi.

"Yes." Cui Qi agreed and left with Li Laihai.

A few soldiers of the national army were selected, and Captain Liu also led some people to carry earth mines and followed.

Still fast, he ran to the kitchen, grabbed some rice balls and a few steamed buns, and chased them to those who were going to lurk and bury mines.

Lao Yang looked at Lu Gang's back at the foot of the mountain, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed in his eyes that was not easy for others to detect, but this thought was only for a moment. Seeing that their figures had disappeared, Lao Yang went to eat under the urging of Lu Wei and Xiao Lin.
