Chapter 533: Ready to Move

Compared with Renxian County, Lotus Mountain is not worse than Renxian County in other aspects except for its small area. And the most important thing is that there are gold mines here, so it is more prosperous than Ren County, stepping on gold and digging gold, doing business, singing and opera, everything, very lively.

At this time, Lotus Mountain seems to be a lot less popular than before the little devils occupied it, but it has not been damaged by much war, and there are fewer casualties, so the prosperity is not much different from before.

If we talk about changes, the most conspicuous thing is that several newly built artillery towers of the Kwantung Army have been added to Lotus Town.

This time, as soon as the little devil occupied Lotus Mountain, he immediately started to build six new turrets at once, which shows that the Kwantung Army attaches great importance to this place: there are two at the entrance of the town, and the remaining four are exactly distributed in the four corners of the town.

It should be said that in order to defend Lotus Mountain, An Ben can be said to have made a bloody investment: he arranged the defense of Lotus Mountain according to the troop layout of Renxian County, and now the county seat of Manchuria generally houses a squadron of the Kwantung Army, plus one or two regiments of the Imperial Army.

Lotus Mountain is like this, don't look at the small territory, but there is a squadron of little devils and a regiment of the Imperial Army. These soldiers are distributed in these six turrets.

Before the volunteers withdrew from Lotus Mountain, the regiment commander Liu Shusheng had already arranged two secret eyeliners in the town.

The so-called secrets, of course, are known only to him, and they are all one-line contacts with him. This is mainly from the perspective of safety, now is the season of chaos, Liu Shusheng does not dare to have a trace of carelessness.

"Chief of Staff, the old dumpling restaurant in front is our contact point, let's go, let's go there and sit down." Liu Shusheng whispered to Li Xiong, and then led the way in front of him, and a group of five people walked into the Bianjia Dumpling Restaurant.

Bianjia Dumpling Restaurant is in Lianhua Mountain, not too famous restaurant, but there are really a lot of people who come here to eat, the main reason is that the things in the store are delicious, the amount of food is large, not to mention the price, not to mention the lowest, but it is also ranked in the last few.

Because the Bianjia Dumpling Restaurant is a little different from other stores, other stores are in this line of work to support their families, and the Bianjia Dumpling Restaurant is a store that is opened to attract more people of all colors. The more people there are, the more information you have, and the more you know.

"Here we are—please ...... in the house Hey, isn't this Boss Liu, you haven't been here for a while, you must have made a fortune recently, look at your complexion, it's really good, hurry, go inside, go to the house, please! As soon as I saw Liu Shusheng and the others, the boss of the shopkeeper of the Bianjia dumpling restaurant hurriedly came out of the counter and greeted loudly with some excitement.

"The shopkeeper, we are happy and happy together, and make a fortune together. Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'll come over for a drink or two? Liu Shusheng invited loudly as he walked into the private room in the backyard.

"Okay, Boss Liu, you sit inside first, and when the dishes are ready, I will definitely come over to toast a few bosses."

A few people entered the house, and after only a while, two large plates of dumplings and a few plates of side dishes came up.

"You guys eat first, and I'll talk to the chief of staff in the opposite room." After Liu Shusheng finished speaking to the three scouts who came with him, he went into another room with Li Xiong.

At this time, the big shopkeeper was already waiting for the two of them in the house. As soon as he saw the two of them come in, he closed the door, and then sat on the edge of the kang affectionately, and said with some excitement: "Head Liu, how are the brothers, are they all good?" I've heard that this time the battle was fierce, and many of us and the little devil died. Commander, are they all right? ”

"They're all fine, let me introduce you, this is Deputy Chief of Staff Li Xiong of our headquarters. Chief of Staff Li is here to help us end Shihushan this time. By the way, you should report the situation of Lotus Mountain to the chief of staff in detail. ”

"Hello Chief of Staff, Commander Liu, I'll report to you on the situation in Lotus Mountain." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly took out a piece of paper from the back of a frame. He spread the paper on the table, and Li Xiong saw it clearly, it turned out to be a picture.

"The little devil's defense map?" Liu Shusheng asked.

"Yes, regiment commander, this is the deployment map of the little devil and the Imperial Allied Army in Lotus Mountain. There is a new situation, which you may not know yet, that is, half of the little devils living here have been withdrawn, and there are still two squads of seventy people. The Imperial Army had three hundred men, almost three companies. ”

"What? Are you saying that the little devils and traitors have already withdrawn part of it? When did this happen? Where did all the evacuated go? Li Xiong asked, staring at the map.

"That's right, Chief of Staff, I've heard that the evacuated people have been added to the various counties of Benxi Lake. It is said that there are not enough troops in the city. The Imperial Association Army is plastering the streets with notices to recruit some soldiers. The big shopkeeper said.

"Recruit some troops? This is really a new situation. Shusheng, do you think this is good, since the Imperial Association Army wants to recruit some people, it is better for you to plan and select some excellent team members to enter the ranks of the Imperial Cooperation Army. What do you think? Li Xiong pondered for a moment and said.

"Chief of Staff, do you mean to fish in troubled waters? Okay, that's a good idea. By the way, how many people will the Imperial Association Army recruit this time? Liu Shusheng said.

"The notice says 200 local youths."

"That's right...... Chief of Staff, do you think this will work, these days, I will send 50 team members in batches, Lao Bian, do you have any difficulty in trying to send them to the recruitment team of the Imperial Allied Army? ”

"Okay, that's what you say." Li Xiong said immediately.

"It's no difficulty, I can't recruit people now, the Imperial Association Army is in a hurry. I know a few officials in the traitor ranks, and they can talk. The shopkeeper then said.

"By the way, you'd better not show your face in person, just hide behind and command." Li Xiong thought about a pair of old sides and said.

After arranging everything, Li Xiong and Liu Shusheng stayed in Lotus Mountain for another two days before returning to the mountain.

In the current Lotus Mountain, although the little devil and the Imperial Association Army have almost half less defending personnel, their current ability is still unable to attack this hard bone, so they have to think about it in the long term and make another plan.

Li Xiong can't stay here all the time, Mengzi has already sent a telegram, so that as soon as the matter on his side is over, he will go back immediately.

"Shusheng, I won't go back to Shihu Mountain, and I'll take these two squads back to the headquarters tomorrow morning. I'll leave it to you. While eating, Li Xiong looked at Liu Shusheng and said.

"Chief of Staff, you tell the commander and the fifth uncle to reassure them that the volunteers in Lotus Mountain will not fall. Sooner or later, it's still ours. Liu Shusheng said firmly.

"Tree voice, I take your word for it. It can't be delayed for too long, though. By the way, the people sent to Lotus Mountain must choose reliable people, and it is very important to choose a lack rather than chaos. Li Xiong admonished.

"Yes, Chief of Staff, I think so, this time, I want to send the old man who will go up the mountain with us. These people have been working with us for so many years, they have suffered all kinds of hardships, they have suffered all kinds of crimes, and they will not betray us. I want my first company commander, who is now the deputy regiment commander, to personally take these dozens of people, what do you think? Liu Shusheng said with a serious face.

"It's more secure, Shusheng, just do as you say, personnel, at most fifty people, more people are easy to expose. In addition, this matter must not spread, only a few of you regimental leaders know about it. Li Xiong instructed uneasily.

"I promise I won't leak the news. By the way, there's one more thing, I need to ask you in advance. Now this Lotus Mountain, although we can't move it, but I don't want the little devil to stay here so peacefully, I want to organize a small number of team members, take turns to attack them, and regard it as a training. Do you think it's okay? ”

"That's a good thing, I agree. But there is one thing that you must remember, that is, you must do it in absolute safety. In addition, you have to put more effort into the supply of the little devils, and cut off their supply lines. Li Xiong reminded.

"The Chief of Staff is right, I just want to do that. In addition, I think that we will cut off as much as there is for the supply of weapons for the little devils and traitors, and we must put some of the food and other supplies that should be released. ”

"Tree sound, you've thought it through. In the small actions of Lotus Mountain, you have your own ideas in the group, and if you need help from above, you will say hello in advance. Li Xiong gave Liu Shusheng a reassurance.

As soon as Li Xiong was sent away, Liu Shusheng did not rush back to Shihu Mountain. He knew He Donghao's ability, so when Shihushan handed it over to him, Liu Shusheng was very relieved. To be honest, in terms of training team members, he really doesn't have Dong Hao's two hits.

In addition to handing over Shihu Mountain to He Donghao with confidence, there is another point that is the reason why he is not in a hurry to return to Shihu Mountain: the shopkeeper Bian said in his report that the little devils and the Imperial Association Army in Renxian City will come to Lotus Mountain to deliver supplies once every few days after the month. There are two main parts of these provisions, one is to replenish the ammunition, and the other is to send some food to these residents of Lianhua Mountain.

"Lao Yang, how about we intercept the supply team of little devils or traitors outside Lotus Mountain?" Liu Shusheng looked at the topographic map of Lotus Mountain spread out on the table, and said in thought.

Lao Yang's name is Yang Qiang, he was originally his second company commander, and now he has been promoted to battalion commander, but this battalion commander also has only one company commander at the moment, because he now has only one company of soldiers in his hands.

"My good captain, you're killing me. I mentioned to you a long time ago, I have scouted the route and time provided by the little devils. Between twelve and one o'clock at noon the day after tomorrow, if there is no accident in the little devil in Renxian County, it will appear near Liu Dagou, which is forty kilometers away from Lotus Mountain. Liu Dagou is less than 100 kilometers away from Renxian County and 40 kilometers away from us. And this section is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and this section of the mountain road is the narrowest part of the road, with an elbow bend, which is the best place for ambushes.

According to past experience, there are generally five supply vehicles for the little devils, one of which is a soldier with an escort. In the past, the escorts were all little devils, there were nearly 100 people, almost a team. From the last time, the escort was replaced by the traitor Emperor Allied Army. Yang Qiang said.
