The night of December 5th.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

The two gunboats followed the guidance of the harbor fire and quietly galloped into the port of Lantau Island.

"Hello Commander!"

The people who came to greet him, except for Xu Yun, the lone wolf, Luo Qinghu, President Chen and other important figures, were all some elite soldiers of the reinforced battalion or Trojan County.

"Why don't you get a good rest so late?"

Lu Yuan frowned and said to Xu Yun and the others: "Soon the war will break out, don't talk about sleeping, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to breathe, now I don't let the brothers have a good rest and prepare for war, but engage in this kind of form of idea, is it interesting?" ”

Xu Yun and the others looked aggrieved, and several veterans scratched their heads and said: "Regiment Commander, don't blame Battalion Commander Xu and Captain Lone Wolf, the brothers haven't seen you for a while, and I miss you......"

"Yes, Captain!"

The soldiers also said: "What's the hurry to sleep, in case the devil is sacrificed, there is time to sleep, but the opportunity to see the regiment commander again, but it is one less time to see it......"

"Say what?"

The cow pimple shouted: "This is the same as if we are all dying, do we curse the head of the regiment to die or curse ourselves to die?" ”

"Curse yourself, curse yourself......"

The warriors all laughed, they were respectful of Lu Yuan, but in the face of him who was mythologized in his heart, the warriors still had a sense of distance, but they were more able to get along with the cow pimple.

"Don't curse yourself!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were slightly red and he roared: "After this battle, it will always be a good life, you all have to live, keep this life, and enjoy it in the future, understand?" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The soldiers were moved, they all knew that Lu Yuan was really reluctant to have anything to do with anyone, and they didn't want to have anything to do with themselves.

However, this is war, no one can decide their own fate, all they can do is to do their best.

Let the soldiers disband and rest, and their own women took Long Yun to find a place to rest, but Lu Yuan followed Xu Yun and others directly into the headquarters.

The big war was imminent, and he did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Those fighters are right, if you die, there is time to rest, if you don't want to die, then it is better to grasp every minute, every second!

"The ships on the island, including the merchant warships, are ready to evacuate, and the families of the British are also transferred to the warships and can be evacuated at any time!"

"The location of the planes, including fighter planes and civilian aircraft, we have already reconnoitred it!"

"This is the defense map of Hong Kong, and it took a lot of effort for the brothers to get their hands on it!"

"This is the distribution map of the Japanese army's troops, thanks to the help of the Dongjiang Column on the Eighth Route Front, Captain Wang, who said that if the Japanese army uses force against Hong Kong, they are willing to send one brigade to assist us in defending Hong Kong, and the other two brigades are fighting guerrillas behind enemy lines to contain the strength of the Japanese army......"

Xu Yun and the others handed Lu Yuan one information after another, and they had carefully collected all of this information.

It's just that Lu Yuan only glanced at it slightly, and then didn't look again.

After all, the Japanese attack on Hong Kong had happened before, and even without this information, he could have a clear understanding of the deployment of the Japanese army and the troops on Hong Kong Island.

Fortunately, history seems to be moving in the same direction and has not shifted.

The only deviation is that there are more naval bases and 30 submarines that he secretly built on Lantau Island, as well as more than 2,000 elites and Xu Yun and others transferred from Trojan Horse County to gather and train more than 2,000 people here, a total of nearly 5,000 troops.

Of these 5,000 soldiers, in addition to more than 1,000 of them are submariners, the remaining 3,000 are all army troops.

Nearly half of them are equipped with Guoxiong rifles, and the rest of the newly trained recruits are at least all Japanese-style weapons of 38 rifles, which are extremely combative.

"What is the quality of the recruits?"

Lu Yuan asked, he asked not only about the fighting quality, but also about the quality of will, the strength of these four or five thousand people, but the power he used to turn the tide in Hong Kong is also the power he can best grasp, so he must understand all aspects clearly.

"More than 60 instructors carried out political propaganda day and night, the veterans showed up almost one-on-one, and the family members who came from the county chatted about the cruelty of the little devils, and the tragic and bloody ...... of the brothers who fought desperately."

Xu Yun said with a smile: "Don't dare to say anything else, anyway, these recruits and the people on our Lantau Island may hate devils more than ourselves!" ”

"That's good!"

Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, he knew that Xu Yun didn't dare to talk about it, because those recruits had not yet passed the test of actual combat, and he didn't know how much combat effectiveness could be exerted - but he was not worried about this kind of thing, after two battles and seeing blood, it was estimated that he would let go.

"On the side of the Dongjiang Column, how is the growth of troops?" Lu Yuan asked again.

The situation in Hong Kong is critical, he doesn't dare to put all the treasures on the hands of the British, Indian and Canadian coalition forces and his own people, if he can make a little more preparations, he will make a little more preparations, so the Dongjiang Column led by Yan'an, which is closest to Hong Kong, is also within his support.

In the original history, when the Dongjiang Column attacked Hong Kong by the Japanese army, there were only more than 1,500 people, and less than 1,000 of them had guns.

It is conceivable how much combat effectiveness a team that can't even do a gun can have?

But that's different now.

After the battle of Trojan County, Xu Yun led the troops to Lantau Island, and the assistance to the Dongjiang Column was even more increased, and nearly 5,000 guns were sent out, most of which were 38 rifles captured from the Japanese army.

The current Dongjiang Column is almost the largest military force that can threaten the Japanese army in Guangdong, with more than 10,000 people, including nearly 7,000 armed forces!

"Seven Thousand ......"

Lu Yuan nodded, although the number of the Dongjiang column was about the same as he expected, he didn't dare to really count the opponent's strength according to seven thousand, after all, such a column often lacked training, and the combat effectiveness would definitely have to be greatly discounted.

He felt that the Dongjiang Column was fighting the Japanese army head-on, and if it could fight out 2,000 Japanese troops, it would be a great achievement.

Of course, having said that, Lu Yuan would never be stupid enough to really let the Dongjiang Column fight the devils, and even if he let the Dongjiang Column fight the devils, people may not be willing to do this kind of thing.
