Liu Kui saw three puffs of black smoke rising from the direction of Erlang Mountain, and a smile appeared on his face, but this smile looked sinister and weird.

After breaking up with Liu Dali, he hesitated for a moment, but then made a decision.

The imperial army is in full swing, following the imperial army, in addition to being able to eat and drink spicy food, you can also gamble and prostitute, if you can find a weighty Taijun as a backstage, you can also mix a fat difference, even the cassette is greedy, and you can save enough money to marry a little wife in less than a year.

What's good with the surname Ye? Turtles huddle in this barren mountains and mountains all day long, with nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and not even a woman's buttocks.

Liu Kui thought of Liu Yujie.

A straw bag can become a brigade commander, even Yamashita Taijun is polite when he sees this straw bag, I Liu Kui is much stronger than the straw bag, I don't believe that I Liu Kui can't get Taijun's appreciation, I Liu Kui is just a chance away.

Now, here's your chance.

Therefore, he immediately ran to Takahashi's room.

Takahashi Shin was indeed injured, but the injury was not serious, and he was hit by a splashed rock and hit his buttocks, so he could only lie on the bed and listen to Liu Kui's report.

When he heard Liu Kui say that Takahashi Taijun had left the stronghold and returned to Xuzhou to recuperate, he got angry, beckoned, asked Liu Kui to bring his face closer, and then slapped Liu Kui in the face.

Liu Kui didn't know why Takahashi Shin's face suddenly changed, he was so frightened that his face was scorched, his knees were weak, he knelt down in front of Takahashi Shin, and gave himself two mouths fiercely, begging for mercy: "Liu Kui should die, Taijun is angry!" ”

After Takahashi Shin slapped Liu Kui's mouth, he smiled instead, and said, "You can't be blamed for this, after all, you don't know the situation." Your name is Liu Kui, right? Get up and speak! ”

Liu Kui didn't dare, he still knelt in front of Takahashi Shin.

Takahashi Nobu sighed and said, "It's rare that you are so loyal to the Imperial Japanese Army!" The slap I just gave was not to punish you, but to hate iron and steel, Captain Liu, if I promote you, you will have a longer memory, you can't be so brainless! ”

Takahashi Shin's tone was extremely relaxed, and his eyes showed a kind and cherished look, Liu Kui's heart was hot, and he said: "Life is a person who is Takahashi Taijun, death is a ghost of Takahashi Taijun, Liu Kui has been with Takahashi Taijun in this life, and Liu Kui is willing to be a cow and a horse." ”

Takahashi shin smiled happily, touched Liu Kui's head, and said, "Get up!" The man has gold under his knees, and if you can't get up on your knees like this, I can't repay you. ”

Liu Kui stood up and said, "I don't want Takahashi Taijun to repay, oh, no, it's not repay, it's not."

Takahashi Shin interrupted Liu Kui's explanation with a smile and said, "Your loyalty to the imperial army and my loyalty are obvious to all, and I want to repay you for this loyalty and loyalty, and it is also right." Since you told your brother that you are the acting captain of this brigade, then act first, and when this battle is over, I will report to the division commander and give you a formal appointment. ”

Liu Kui was pleasantly surprised in his heart, bent his knees, knelt down again, full of tears, and said, "Thank you Taijun Takahashi for cultivating." ”

Takahashi Shin instructed: "You go down first, go and invite Captain Kawashima to me, I will arrange it well." ”

After Liu Kui retreated, a picture appeared in Takahashi's mind: a group of bandits led by Ye Tufei were cheering victory in this stronghold, and around the stronghold, hundreds of imperial warriors were quietly narrowing the encirclement, and a little farther away, dozens of artillery pieces of the imperial army were actively adjusting their shooting at Zhu Yuan

Since Lu Yao planned to take advantage of the Erlang Mountain valley pass, it became necessary to pull out the small Japanese strongholds on the east and west sides, and in this regard, Yan Xiwen's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he took the initiative to become the direct commander of this battle.

Zhang Luohui was bent on washing away the shame in the previous war, and he also desperately wanted to rush to the front, so he quarreled with Yan Xiwen again.

Ye Tufei smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Don't quarrel with the two of you, neither of you can take your turn in this matter, Sixth Master, I have to come in person, don't look at me with this kind of look, do you think, we have Liu Kui here as the internal response, it is not difficult to take down that stronghold, what do you two have to fight for, the most important thing in this matter is how long it will take to take it down, the faster we are, the more sure Commander Lu will be, isn't it?" Besides, if this Liu Kui can't see me Ye Tufei, it is inevitable that he will beat the drum in his heart, in case he hesitates, isn't it a big deal? ”

After listening to Ye Tufei's explanation, Yan Xiwen and Zhang Luohui had nothing to say.

That night, Lu Yao's troops drove to a wooded area less than two miles from the stronghold on the eastern side of Erlang Mountain.

After all, it was not enough to only contact through telegrams, so Lu Yao simply took the guards, took a detour, and touched Erlang Mountain.

It's just that Lu Yao is not familiar with this Erlang Mountain, and until the sky is bright, he is still wandering around the periphery of the Erlang Mountain Range.

When it was time for breakfast, Lu Yao adjusted his direction and soon ran into the brothers patrolling the mountain in the bandit camp.

Coincidentally, one of the brothers patrolling the mountains had been to the Yimeng base area and quickly recognized Lu Yao.

When Lu Yao saw Ye Tufei, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning.

It's also an old friend, and when we meet, we naturally don't mention those unpleasant things, and we choose some words of mutual joy and say a lot. Peng Youming, Yan Xiwen and Wei Xiangdong also rushed to discuss the matter of pulling out the stronghold with everyone in the council hall.

According to the truth, Ye Tufei said that the stronghold on the west side had been prepared, and as soon as this side attacked, there would be brothers from the Imperial Association Army in the stronghold, echoing inside and out, and taking it in one fell swoop.

Lu Yao was quite skeptical about this, and asked, "Brother Tufei, is the Liu Kui you said reliable?" How many times have you met him? ”

Ye Tufei said: "I haven't seen this Liu Kui, but he and a brother named Liu Dali are from our own family, Liu Dali patted his chest, the two of them grew up together, and they are very familiar with each other, I think there should be no big problem!" ”

Lu Yao said: "If you don't mind, can you call Liu Dali over, let's verify and verify." ”

Ye Tufei smiled: "Is this necessary?" Let's shoot in front, then Liu Kui will do it in the back, if this Liu Kui has two hearts, it's a big deal that we can attack it instead. ”

Lu Yao couldn't force it, so he had to take a step back and said: "We can attack at the same time, if something happens on your side, I hope Brother Ye can be a little patient, and after my side takes it, let's concentrate our forces to kill this stronghold on the Western Front." ”

Ye Tufei's face changed slightly. Seeing this, Yan Xiwen thought to himself that you, Commander Lu, don't understand the reason, you should have kept a low profile when you first arrived, but as soon as you came up, you were so arrogant, not to mention Ye Tufei's face, but also the face of our Xuzhou Prefectural Committee.

"Commander Lu is so sure? There are a lot of Japanese troops stationed in the strongholds on the Eastern Front, and we are quite familiar with the construction of fortifications, and we still want to support you after taking the Western Front! ”

Lu Yao didn't realize that the words just now had offended Ye Tufei, Peng Yan and the others, and he still had a big grinning attitude, and said, "Isn't it just a little Japan that can't be in the squadron?" Up to an hour, custody to take down. As he spoke, he made a mysterious gesture: "I brought a treasure this time, guess what it is?" ”

The most effective weapon for attacking the stronghold is the flat-firing artillery, but this thing is too rare, even the Central Army, which is the best equipped in the national army, is not equipped with many anti-aircraft guns, so Peng Youming hesitated and asked: "Could it be that your Commander Lu also brought a flat-fire cannon?" ”

Lu Yao laughed, gave Peng Youming a thumbs up, and said, "Secretary Peng is Secretary Peng!" Can't hide anything from Secretary Peng's fiery eyes, haha, a 37-mm flat-fire gun, with 37 shells, how about it? How long can the little Japanese stronghold last? ”

Yan Xiwen exclaimed: "Old Lu, where did you get this baby pimple?" It's a pity, it's just that there are fewer shells. ”

Lu Yao said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of fewer shells, when the new base area develops, let's make our own shells, let me tell you, the team I brought this time, there are several weapons experts in it, all of whom my old Lu spent a lot of money to get them, how about it?" ”

Ye Tufei had no intention of discussing these with Lu Yao, what he wanted to know most now was Ouyang Xueping's whereabouts, but in front of so many people, he was embarrassed to ask directly, so he had to keep giving Yan Xiwen a look.

Fortunately, Yan Xiwen was also worried about the safety of his stubborn old sister, and he was very interested in the look that Ye Tufei threw at him, he nodded to Ye Tufei, and pulled the topic to Ouyang Xueping: "Oh yes, Commander Lu, is my sister back to you?" ”

Lu Yao first pretended not to know and didn't understand, but in a few seconds, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I brought Doctor Ouyang here!" After our new base, we will be a family with your Xuzhou Prefectural Committee, and my old Lu will be separated from Yuan Wei, hehe, when he leaves, Hula Hula will bring all the baby bumps that can be taken away. ”

Ye Tufei's heart was wide and he wanted to say thank you to Lu Yao, but he didn't know how to speak, but he heard Lu Yao mention himself again.

"Besides, no matter what Brother Ye says, he is also a person who has been kind to my old Lu, no matter what I say, I can't do anything to be sorry for Brother Ye! Brother Ye, do you think that's the truth? ”

Ye Tufei had no choice but to smile and nod in return.

Peng Youming suddenly thought of something and asked, "Lao Lu, you just said that we will be a family in the future, what do you mean by that?" Why didn't I get the notification above? ”

Lu Yao was afraid of the back of his head and said, "Look at you, how did I forget this pot?" Didn't your radio station be fixed in the past few days? The decision of the chief has already been sent, but it is inconvenient to pass it on to you, so let me bring it to you. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yao took off his shoes, buckled a small piece of something from the sole, and after peeling it off, he revealed a stack of boxy pieces of paper and threw it to Peng Youming.

Peng Youming caught it, fanned the smell exaggeratedly, opened it and read it. The above decision was that Peng Youming concurrently served as the acting political commissar of the new base area.
