Chapter 73 Attack on Eagle's Mouth Cliff
After the war preparation meeting, all the ministries in the Zhongwang Mountain Area immediately took action, spending a lot of foreign money like running water, and what they got back was truckloads of various supplies.
As the logistics director of the entire base, Zhou Yunxin is busy without touching the ground. Chen Yu, Chen Xiaofu, Chen Sanye, and Chen Laoshan who also assist her are also busy busy.
Hu Dakang was in charge of military training, supervising the troops to practice non-stop every day, and the combat level of the troops also continued to rise. By December, more personnel came to the Zhongwang Mountain Area. After screening by Ma Changgui and others, hundreds of people were included in the list.
Ten young men joined the team. These men either had their families harmed by the Japs or the puppet army, or they just couldn't survive and so they joined the army to find a way to survive. In short, they successfully supplemented the establishment established by Chen Long, and even had a surplus.
.
After the autumn harvest, the salt selling business of Chen Long and Dong Huaida started again. Chen Long personally led the team, dispatching one company at a time and No. 100 strong men to transport salt. Now the scale has become larger, with 60 rubber-wheeled trucks.
The truck shipped twice as much as before in one go. Naturally, the earnings were two or three times as much as before: the price of salt on the market has increased again. Dong Huai, Chen Long, and Mi Tong all tacitly understood each other.
Increase the number of guards, unite closely, and work together to make a fortune.
He went out with a load of salt and came back with a load of grain and various supplies. Chen Long made several trips in succession and basically reached the reserve goal. Just as it happened, Lishan had to wait for the next shipment of salt, and the next transaction was expected to arrive.
It's spring after the new year.
With all the supplies in place, Chen Long was relieved. He had to pay the debt to Chen Xiaofu. He made a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, and began to savor the cigarettes produced by his own factory. The name was given in a funny way:
Golden leaves, but the taste is so bad--it makes people's hearts ache!
******************
"Report, the Japs from the county town are out, and the target is probably Yingzui Cliff." Chen Ergou and Wu Xiaoniu disturbed the peace, and strode in to report.
"Oh, the Japanese finally took action?" Chen Long quickly walked to the map, "How many people came?"
"There are more than 300 Japanese soldiers, more than 600 puppet troops, and dozens of people from the detective team are leading the way." Chen Ergou pointed out, "What our people saw at Wuliting this morning were more than a dozen heavy machine guns and four cannons.
There are also two tanks."
"It's coming hard. How is it over at Eagle Beak Cliff?" Chen Long asked while pointing at the map.
"A lot of preparations have been made at Yingzui Cliff. They have dug almost all the way into the mountain. In addition, they have rebuilt the mountain road up the mountain. Several checkpoints have been reinforced. Machine guns, mortars, and pine cannons have also been deployed.
They will fire two test shots in a few days." Wu Xiaoniu also investigated carefully.
"In addition, activity in Yingzui Cliff has been very arrogant during this period. There are trucks transporting grain to the mountain every day." Wu Xiaoniu thought about it and said: "They are still acting like bandits, and several surrounding towns have been attacked.
They robbed it and said it was an anti-Japanese tax, and the people were very angry."
"These guys are no better than little devils." Chen Long shook his head, sincerely he felt that Qu Jinyun's sacrifice was not worth it.
"Should we follow over and have a look?" Chen Ergou asked.
"You guys should be busy with other things. You must keep an eye on the movements of the devils and puppet troops in the county!" Chen Long said no, "We will lead the team there."
Chen Long wanted to show the troops how the Japanese fought, so he ran to the playground in person to find Hu Dakang.
"Are you thinking of helping them? These bandits will not be grateful." Hu Dakang asked when he saw that Chen Long wanted to take not only the cadres of the team, but also a company.
"Look! The enemy of the enemy is also a friend. Let the Japanese destroy Yingzui Cliff easily, and we will have one less person to take the blame in the future!" Chen Long smiled and led the first company and the second company, which were fully staffed.
The full-time cadres set off quickly.
"Sniper team, assault platoon, follow me." Hu Dakang arranged for Li Chunsheng to lead the second company to guard the house. He also took the remaining teams to follow: If there is a real fight, one company alone cannot do the job.
************************
"Quickly, remove the springboard, the Japs are following." At the foot of Yingzui Cliff, Feitianmao had just returned from plundering several large carts of food, and accidentally ran into the Japs.
"Go Gou—, Go Go!" The Japanese soldiers followed suit, shooting slowly and leisurely. It was more like driving them away than fighting, laughing and making noise in a competition of marksmanship.
"Damn, the little devil is bullying people too much!" Feitianmao looked at the several minions who were shot and killed on the road behind him, and got angry: "Erbo, you bring a few people to get rid of him!"
"Hey, Third Master, the Japanese have tanks and cars. I think... let's forget it!" Ernuo seemed to be Feitianmao's confidant. She even dared to bargain for the orders she gave.
"What a coward! We've dug a ditch. Can a tank car get through?" Feitianmao picked up his lame leg and kicked Er Nao on the butt. "Go and light the explosives we buried. Let's light up that cliff."
The rocks exploded down and blocked the road!"
"Then - let's win!" Er Nao ran back with a few people.
Sure enough, two Japanese tanks stopped in front of the dug ditch, and a Japanese man emerged from the turtle's shell and was talking to the infantry below.
"Up!" Ernuo waved his hand, and the two minions quickly rushed to the bottom of the protruding cliff. They found several explosive bags placed in the gaps between the rocks on the edge of the cliff as high as a person.
"Hurry up!" The minion below held up the other one and said with some difficulty.
"What are you lighting? I can't see the fuse." The one above tried for a long time but couldn't find the fuse.
"Oh, Jinsuo and the others said they were afraid that the fuse would get wet, so they had to temporarily install it. What should we do?" The one at the bottom suddenly remembered.
"What the hell, let them pretend!" The one on top slid down and clapped his hands.
"Shall we go then?"
"If you don't leave, wait for the Japanese to shoot!"
"Bar Gou——" Sure enough, he had the foresight. Several Japanese soldiers who crossed the trench saw the figures of the two minions and shot decisively. Fortunately, they were too far away, and the bullets hit the rocks and burst out some sparks.
.
"Come on, come on! The Japs are coming!" The two minions scurried away with their heads in their hands!
"What? There's no fuse? Oh, damn it! It's so easy, little devil!" Feitianmao slapped his thigh in annoyance after hearing what he said!
******************************
"What, the Japanese have come into the mountain? That can't be done, the sentry in front of the mountain didn't even come to report it!" Gai Shanhe was drinking tea in the hall, and he almost couldn't believe it when he heard the panting Feitianmao's words.
"The sentry has been touched by others a long time ago. How can you expect these turtle grandsons!" Feitianmao shook his head depressedly. He drank and gambled at night, and during the day he could find a place to take a nap while on duty. The team expanded too fast.
, the quality of personnel has dropped drastically!
"Then where are the Japs? Brother, please arrange for someone to blow up the rocks." There is still a glimmer of hope in Gaishanhe. After all, tens or hundreds of tons of boulders can block the Japs' tanks.
"The Japs have already passed there." Feitianmao became even more angry, "Turtle Sun set off the explosives without arranging anyone to guard them, so we couldn't blow them up without a fuse!"
"Who are you scolding? It's me who asked them to withdraw." Cao Shangfei said with a face full of displeasure, "It's freezing cold, and there are some snowflakes falling from time to time. If the fuse is going to be ignited, it won't explode.
!Don’t panic when the Japanese come, I’ll bring someone to meet them!”
Cao Shangfei put on his dog-skin hat and ran out without looking back.
"Brother, look, this person -" Feitianmao didn't know where the second brother's anger came from. Oh, he didn't do things properly, and he didn't allow others to tell him?!
Chapter completed!
