At this time, in the setting sun, all the regimental-level officers of the Anti-Japanese Army were sitting on a threshing floor in the village, and dozens of people were sitting densely, discussing the military situation, but there was a deep discouragement on everyone's faces.

The desperate 600-mile rapid march still fell short in the end, how can you not be annoyed?

"We can fight a dozen, after all, we haven't received the will of the imperial court; But don't fight hard, just let the court know that we are coming, and we will have a little more confidence when negotiating with the Japanese Yi. ”

When Xia Qingyun heard that Nie Shicheng was locked up and taken out of prison by the imperial court, he immediately became a little anxious.

"Reconnaissance company, tomorrow disguise yourself to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army in Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou, and Majuqiao Town, and the cavalry regiment will put fifteen miles of guard posts around Zhuangcun, Wu Yingcun, and Rulin Village."

He Changying ordered expressionlessly: "The Jingtang Company under the Independent Battalion went to the wealthy landlords' homes in nearby towns to collect grain in a civilized manner, and the Secretariat wrote a white slip in advance and cashed it after stamping; The rest of the troops, stationed in the camp, training! ”

Jintang, the basin of the mouth of the Tang River.

The stars are scarce at night.

At 21 o'clock in the night of the 19th, Han Sanbao was really tired of transporting cannonballs, so he rested in Dashentang Village and lit the fire to cook.

This place is less than 10 miles away from Sajintuo Village.

The village was dark and silent, and the villagers were already empty for fear of the ferocious Japanese soldiers.

The meal was about to be half-cooked, and a long line of torches came to the west, and it was the Jinmen Brigade detachment that led the army to arrive.

Immediately, Liu Gangzhi ordered the whole army to rest for a while, raise the fire and cook, and the scouts continued to advance eastward to investigate the enemy situation in Sajin Village and the mouth of the Tang River.

At this time, the main force of the Jinmen Brigade, Bian Changshengying, had also arrived in Gaojiazhuang and was cooking and resting.

The scouts went to Sajin Village, 5 miles ahead, and the Tang River Estuary, 10 miles ahead, to reconnoiter the Japanese army.

At 23 o'clock in the evening, the main scouts of the Jinmen Brigade and the scouts of the detachment met in the deserted village of Sajin.

In the early morning of the 20th, the various units of the Jinmen Brigade successfully waved their divisions in Sajin Village.

The artillery battalion of the Jinmen Brigade finally got the long-awaited 80 high-explosive shells.

The troops were immediately camped in rudiment.

Liu Gangzhi, Nie Pengcheng, Cao Yitao, Wei Jiaxun, Yang Guang, Shen Zengjia, Xiao Ligang, Xiang Shaolong, Song Zhanbiao,——

A large group of high-ranking officers of the Jinmen Brigade and the officers of the artillery battalion took advantage of the darkness to touch the shore of the Bohai Sea, looking at the group of Japanese ships quietly moored in the sea from afar, as well as the ignition of fires along the coast from the mouth of the Tang River to the mouth of the Shahe River.

Liu Gangzhi put down the telescope in his hand: "The Japanese army's Tantu defense line is extremely poorly built, and it is estimated that there are less than 2,000 troops for landing, and there is about a squadron of cavalry; Hehe, what a stupid and fat person! ”

"It's just that the brigade commander, your ice bombing plan is useless, the landing line is too long, and the Japanese army is directly pulling military funds to the coast; But these two thousand people are a good dish, no more, no less. ”

Yang Guang's face was excited: "According to my explanation, early in the morning, they were first urinated with cannons, and then all over the mountains, and the overwhelming army directly pushed all the way over, fighting rabbits with tigers; At most, in half an hour, these Japanese soldiers are all finished! ”

In the dark, Nie Pengcheng, Cao Yitao, these generals all nodded again and again.

This style of play is unexpected, fighting weak with strength, and it is a good choice for nearly Qianshui Yong, who has just been incorporated into the combat power of Ruo, as well as Bian Changsheng's camp.

"According to your style of play, I was lucky enough to pull a fart artillery? Look at the looseness of the Japanese army, our Jinmen Brigade can eat them to the death just by dispatching a regiment. ”

Liu Gangzhi frowned and thought about it and said, "You go back to sleep first, let me think about it alone." ”

The defensive position of the Japanese army at the mouth of the Tang River, and the guard post on the west bank of the Tang River Estuary.

"Yo Xi, it's so fragrant, it's delicious, it's delicious!"

At the westernmost edge of the Japanese position, five Japanese soldiers on duty were barbecuing sweet potatoes from the cellar of the 'villagers' of the Qing Dynasty.

One by one, they froze and praised each other.

Soldier Hyaktake Saburo inadvertently glanced at the dark coastline to the west, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, stopped chewing on the sweet potato in his mouth, and looked at it carefully with wide eyes and suspicion.

About two or three miles over there, there seemed to be a very small flickering of red.

Hyakusa Saburo, who was born in the poor and poor, didn't know that it was called the spark of cigarette butts.

"Yaga, I'm dazzled, right?"

Hyakusa Saburo looked up at the bright moon above his head, the stars twinkling like broken diamonds, and then at the faint lights of the ships in the sea, slightly red like forest chimneys, and then looked down at the sparkling waves of the sea.

Then he looked in that direction again, and sure enough, there were all kinds of bright spots flashing in his eyes.

"Baga, it's really dazzling!"

Hyaktake Saburo twisted his ass and turned his back in that direction.

A year ago, he was just a poor man starving to death, timid as a mouse, and now in the army, he is bullied every day by rude and irascible soldiers.

He knew that as soon as he said this hallucination, he would definitely alarm many officers, and even the captain Watanabe's infantry Shaoza would be awakened.

Then the cavalry squadron will definitely be ordered to go over and search.

If you waste so much energy and get nothing, then you can probably be beaten to death by Jun Cao and the squad leader!

"Click, click—"

At this time, the flames were blazing, and the burning pine resin 'clicked' softly, and there was silence outside.

"Why bother? And it must be my eyes spent! ”

Baiwu Saburo comforted himself with a slight tremble, lowered his head and continued to concentrate on dealing with the fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potato in his hand.

Night, silence.

In the area from the mouth of the Tang River to the mouth of the Shahe River, the Japanese army set up a total of three defensive positions, and on the east, west, and north sides of these three positions, more than 30 fires were lit to guard it.

One on the east bank of the mouth of the Don River, where the 13th squadrons of the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing were stationed.

One of the tidal flats in the middle of the two estuaries is stationed the 4th Squadron of the 1st Brigade, the headquarters of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, and the 2nd Squadron.

On the west bank of the Shahe estuary, 4 miles east of the Tang estuary (about 6 li was diverted to the east in the large-scale production 70 years later), the 13th and 6th squadrons of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Infantry Wing were stationed.

At this time, except for the vigilant soldiers, all the rest of the soldiers fell into a deep sleep.

Although the temperature in the late night of Tsutang in late February is still relatively low, it has become bearable, and it is suitable for a sweet sleep and a beautiful dream of conquest.

Night, three o'clock in the morning, Sajin Village.

Liu Gangzhi sat on the beach, smoked most of the box of cigarettes in one go, endured the excitement in his heart, and strode back to Sajin Village.

In Liu Gangzhi's heart, there are two goals.

One is He Changying, and the other is Li Bohu.

In terms of being a man, he wants to learn from Li Bohu's life that there are no difficulties, be happy with enmity, and quickly cut through the chaos when he encounters trouble.

In terms of doing things, he wants to learn from He Changying's hearty use of soldiers like a god!

Tonight, Liu Gangzhi, who smoked half a box of cigarettes in a row and sat on the cold and silent seaside for nearly two hours, finally had a good strategy that could make him clench his fists and shout just thinking about it!

After entering the brigade headquarters of the Jinmen Brigade, in the blazing firelight, Liu Gangzhi found that the officers who were driven back by him were actually not sleeping, arguing around the fire to express their ideas.

"Hahaha-"

Liu Gangzhi stood proudly, laughed three times, crossed his hands on his hips, and shouted with great momentum: "Don't fight, listen to my orders!" ”
