According to the pre-agreed time, the three teams entering the city converged on the dock side one after another. Compared to the crowds in the city, the dock is relatively deserted. But in terms of vigilance, it is stricter than in the city.

Fortunately, after the little devils occupied Runzhou Port, a large number of materials arrived at the port by sea ship, and a large number of coolies were also needed to carry the materials for them. In this way, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can find work here.

The little devils who are in charge of managing the affairs of the dock also know that they can't be busy at all if they want to carry so many materials on their own. Support some dock stewards, let these stewards recruit young people, load and unload goods for the little devils.

And what the little devil has to do is to stay on the sidelines and watch these coolies, and don't let these coolies hide and entrain. As for the salary, it is certainly not as high as before. Some young people who make money by working hard have to do it even if they are reluctant.

If they don't work, they probably won't even have anything to eat. Although the salary is a little lower, there is still a way to survive after all. On the other hand, those stewards who were recruited by the little devils could not improve their status in this dock, and they relied on the little devils to become proud.

Changing into a coolie outfit, Hu Biao took Zhao Xian and Huang Erzhuan to the dock. Occasionally, I met the merchants and ordinary people who passed by, and most of them cast contempt and sympathy for Hu Biao and the three of them.

The people and businessmen living in Runzhou City know that the wharf coolies are the lowest group of people. I do the hardest work every day, but I just want to beg for a bite to eat. In the same way, the pier that appears in this kind of dress will not look dazzling and unsociable at all.

Looking at the squatting on the dock chatting in twos and threes, most of his eyes were fixed on the coolies in the port, Hu Biao quickly found Hu Minyi and the others who had been working all morning. Looking at Hu Minyi, who was resting, Hu Biao and the three of them also walked over with a smile.

After a brief greeting, Hu Biao also said in a low voice: "How is it?" Is the situation at the dock clear? ”

"I've figured it out! Most of the warehouses on this dock are occupied by little devils. It's just that where the little devils store their goods, the little devils send heavy troops to guard them. If you want to get in, I'm afraid it's not easy! ”

"It's okay! As long as the goal is clear, then let's do it tonight, and we can let go of our hands and feet. Anyway, now the port side is occupied by the little devils. Even if it is blown up and burned out, we don't feel distressed, do we? ”

"Hey, hey! That's just as well! ”

"Didn't you see the three stabs?"

"Nope! Guessing the time, they should be coming soon! ”

"Okay! Wait a minute, take the brothers, find a restaurant to have a good meal, and I'll go around the neighborhood first. The wind in the city has been a little tight in the past two days, and the brothers are warned to be careful. Once you've decided on a staging place, you can wait for it to get dark! ”

"Yes! Be careful, too! ”

After a brief recount, Hu Minyi quickly left where he was sitting and took the soldiers accompanying the reconnaissance to a restaurant near the dock to eat. Although they do hard work, some coolies are still willing to spend money.

Of course, this kind of hard work that is worth spending money on often does not last long in this line of work. In the final analysis, the vast majority of coolies who are really willing to come to the dock to carry bags are doing so to support their families. The occasional coolie who earns some pocket money is not new at the docks.

Compared with those merchants, they all enter big restaurants to drink wine and eat meat. Most of the restaurants where coolies gather are in poor condition, but they are cheap and full. is willing to spend money, and can even buy two taels of wine to get over the addiction.

Waiting for Hu Minyi to lead the people away, Hu Biao, like other coolies, squatted on the dock and other working places, his eyes were more focused on the inland river ships and cargo ships moored in the port. Looking at the plaster flag hanging on the ship, I always feel so dazzling.

Considering tonight's actions, Hu Biao, who was staring at these inland river ships, also began to think about how to lay out at night. With a limited number of troops at hand, Hu Biao must ensure that he can blow up the warehouse and withdraw from Runzhou City safely.

Fortunately, the dock side does not belong to the inner city. Even if the little devils in the city rush to reinforce it, it will take a certain amount of time. And this time difference may also be something that Hu Biao can take advantage of. At least tonight, he's going to keep the whole city sleepless.

"Let's go, let's take a look in another place!"

From the guard post set up by the little devil, Hu Biao probably saw where he couldn't go. Even so, through the guard posts arranged by the little devils, Hu Biao could probably judge that those were the core areas that the little devils were forbidden to approach.

Just as Hu Biao was personally scouting the terrain and analyzing and planning tonight's sabotage battle, Huang Erzhuan also whispered: "Captain, Brother Sandao, they are here, do you want to let them come?" ”

"Let's go! Always wandering around here, after a long time, it will also arouse the suspicion of the little devil. The situation here is similar. Leave first, then go back to the mountains and discuss the plan of action for tonight. ”

"Good!"

Although the coolies are inconspicuous on the dock, for the sake of safety, Hu Biao doesn't want to attract too much attention. No one dares to guarantee that the little devil is on the dock, so he doesn't have any eyeliner to monitor the coolies who are looking for work on the dock.

Seeing Hu Biao and the others walking towards him, Xu Sandao also signaled the others to disperse, and after the two met, Xu Sandao would also hand over the situation of reconnaissance in the city, as well as the sketches drawn, to Hu Biao.

"Erzhuo, go and call Hu Pai over. At this time, they estimated that they had finished eating. Wait until you go back to the mountain to rest, and then move after the evening. Tonight, I'm going to turn this dock into a sea of fire! ”

Through previous reconnaissance, Hu Biao found that many of the warehouses built on the wharf were brick and wood structures. In the event of a fire, there will be basically nothing left of the storehouse.

A few of them, which looked relatively sturdy, were occupied by little devils. In front of the warehouse, he was also pulled into the cordon by little devils. Even the coolies who carry the goods and the routes that can be walked are all planned in advance by the little devils.

Whoever dares to look around or walk around will inevitably be beaten by the little devils guarding the warehouse. This also shows that the little devil has stored a large number of strategic supplies from the rear on the side of the dock warehouse.

Once it is blown up, Hu Biao believes that it will be difficult for the little devils to transport enough supplies to the front line in a short time. At that time, if the defending troops are really determined to break through, maybe the little devil will also become very helpless and unable to trap them in Nanjing City.

Hu Biao, who walked towards the secluded corner of the dock with Xu Sandao, also asked at the right time: "The little devil is in the military camp in the city, are there any houses nearby?" In addition, the garrison headquarters of the little devils, have you found it? ”

"Found them all! The garrison headquarters was located in a house with high walls, and the entrance was guarded by sentinels. For fear of arousing the suspicion of the little devil sentry, I only passed by the door. Overall, the guards weren't too strict.

As for the barracks of the little devils, it is located in the west of the city, and there are no people's houses around. It was a place that the people of the city did not dare to approach. I inquired a little about the strength of the little devils stationed in the city, at least more than one infantry brigade. ”

"Normal! If it weren't for the lack of strength of the little devils, I am afraid that they would send more garrisons. If we had waited a little longer, perhaps the guards in the city would have been tighter. I have to say, this time we came, and we really came to the right place.

Wait until you go out of the city with me, and we will enter the city before the gates are closed. Wait until the people in the city are almost asleep, and then we will start to act. I will carefully consider the specific battle plan when I return to the mountain. ”

"Good!"

After a few battles with Hu Biao, Xu Sandao was used to acting according to the plan. In Xu Sandao's view, the formulation of a combat plan can be handed over to the commander Hu Biao to be responsible. All he has to do is to complete the task assigned by Hu Biao.

Tonight's operation, if someone else commands it, I am afraid that Xu Sandao will feel that the chance of success is not great, and he may even fold himself in the city. In any case, the disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that there is no chance of winning a real fight.

can be replaced by Hu Biao to command, but Xu Sandao is full of confidence. Starting from the rescue of the first prisoners of war in the town, wasn't that battle a victory over the strong by the weak? It was okay before, and he will definitely do it this time, Hu Biao will not let them down.

Correspondingly, he didn't want to disappoint Hu Biao! Although he only served as a platoon commander, Xu Sandao still knew that the platoon commander of this guard platoon was the real elite of the Snow Shame Battalion. He, the platoon commander, believes that those company commanders are envious.

Considering the end of the reconnaissance mission, when Hu Minyi and others converged, the three reconnaissance teams went out of the city one after another. Even when going out of the city, Hu Biao and others did not take the city gate, but chose a detour path. This road may be the way to retreat tonight.

Regardless of the outcome of tonight's battle, Hu Biao decided that he must leave before dawn. Under the condition that the troops are weak, Hu Biao must also give full consideration to the favorable time and place in his operations. Only by being well prepared can you be foolproof!
