The young master's family gave orders, and Old Jiangtou naturally obeyed, and directed the cart to turn down the main road, and soon arrived at a secluded open space.
Zhou Wen rode on a horse and motioned for everyone to gather around, and then said loudly: "You are all caravan buddies of my Fuyuan Company. We are all a family. This time our caravan has a long journey, so we may not get along with each other.
The days are not short, so I have to establish a few rules first."
When everyone heard that the Shaodong family wanted to set rules, they quickly cheered up. They wanted to hear what rules the Shaodong family had set. Of course they had to follow the rules that were appropriate, and they had to persuade those who were inappropriate. After all, the Shaodong family had never been to Kouwai, so they didn't know this.
The depth inside.
"The first rule is to keep your mouth shut. Don't let outsiders know that I am the young master's family. Just say that we are the guards invited by the caravan."
"The second rule is that everyone should mind their own business. I don't care where you go to do business, how you buy or sell, but don't ask around about what we want to do, and don't refuse to help if you are asked to do so.
."
"The third rule is that in cities and towns, Uncle Jiang has the final say on where to live and what to eat. But in the wild, besides leading the way, I have the final say on when to stop and when to leave."
After finishing speaking, he looked around and said loudly: "Answer me now, can you abide by these rules?"
Upon hearing this, all the clerks realized that this was not a difficult task. You are the young master's boss, so of course I would listen to you, so they all agreed.
At that moment, Zhou Wen pointed to several large trucks piled with goods and said, "Now unload the goods from these trucks first."
Lao Jiangtou looked at Zhou Wen's calm tone when he was setting the rules, but his whole person was filled with an irresistible aura. This is the aura of someone who is accustomed to giving orders. He has been around the world for half his life and knows people well.
Wu Wu immediately realized that this young master was probably not an ordinary person. Looking at the guards he brought with him, none of them spoke. They just looked at the men with bright eyes.
Several guards had already dispersed to the surroundings and were watching the outside. Their hearts trembled and they hurriedly commanded: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and unload the goods."
So, the guys got busy, unloading the goods of the three large trucks on the open space. Zhou Wen glanced at Miaohua, and Miaohua waved her hand, and the brothers flattened the packages and boxes that had been placed on the car.
On the boards of the three empty trucks, Zhou Wen then ordered the guys to reload the goods and secure them tightly.
Lao Jiangtou knew at a glance that the young master's family was probably bringing all the young and old with these people. He knew those long packages were long guns, but he didn't know what those boxes contained. He thought to himself that they were not prohibited.
Taste it?
But after thinking about it, he said with relief: "In these troubled times, there will be some contraband. At most, it is smoke and soil. Even if it is, it is nothing special. I am familiar with this road. I just need to pay more money to buy it."
After the caravan was on the road again, the order of the team had been reorganized. The three reloaded carriages had moved from the front of the queue to the middle of the convoy, and the drivers were all replaced by mercenary team members.
This is not to say that Zhou Wen should be too careful to save a few guns, but the radio and artillery observation scope in the box. If these things are discovered by the local garrison, it will be in big trouble. Otherwise, they will be arrested as Japanese spies.
Get up, but I can’t explain it at that time.
Zhou Wen went to Lengkou to observe the terrain this time. He did not just take a casual look, but wanted to carefully examine the terrain around Lengkou and draw it into a map. Although there is no professional map maker, sketches of local terrain can still be drawn.
, and by the way, suitable artillery positions for both the enemy and ourselves must also be marked.
Some people may ask, is it difficult to find artillery positions? Can't you just find an open space to set up artillery and fire?
This is related to the topography along the Great Wall. The entire Great Wall is built on steep mountains, with verdant mountains and crisscrossing ravines. The establishment of this artillery position is very particular. Otherwise, either the target will not be hit, or the target will be missed.
It is blocked by other mountains, or it can directly hit the defender's back.
Therefore, the artillery sighting scope is a must. You can calculate the firing range and impact point of the artillery through the parameters of the sighting glass, so as to find a suitable position for mounting the gun. This is the reason why Xu Dacheng is brought here. This guy can now not only visually measure the gun sighting distance
He is the number one in the mercenary group, and even with the observation scope, no one can match him. Even Zhu Jinhui and the other top students who studied in the Soviet Union are no match for him. This is talent, and no one else can match it.
The caravan walked for less than an hour, turned a curve, and saw the city gate of Lulong County.
This Lulong County is not Lulongsai, the ancient pass of the Han Dynasty to resist foreigners. The original Lulongsai was actually Xifengkou, an important pass of the Great Wall today.
Due to the tense relations between China and Japan after the September 18th Incident, a regiment of the Northeast Army is now stationed in Lulong County.
There is no tall city wall in Lulong County. It is just a three-foot-high wall built of thick stone and concrete. The city gate is not wide, only big enough for a truck to pass through.
There were still a few soldiers guarding the gate of the city. Lao Jiangtou had already gone forward to negotiate. It was just a matter of giving a few packs of cigarettes. Seeing Lao Jiangtou joking with the Northeast Army soldiers, he couldn't help it.
It's better to be an acquaintance.
Sure enough, when the convoy entered Lulong, the few soldiers did not create any difficulties or come to search, and the caravan of dozens of people entered the city smoothly.
At this time, everyone had already dismounted and walked. Zhou Wen and the others followed Lao Jiangtou to the largest inn in the county. They seemed to be acquaintances of Lao Jiangtou. Without much delay, they booked two large courtyards, one for the caravan and one for the mercenary group.
one.
The caravan entered Lulong County, and of course they had to start doing business, so they were preparing to stay in Lulong County for a day. Zhou Wen and the others stayed at home, and Lao Jiangtou took care of everything. There was no need to go out and wander around at this time.
, and after seeing the city wall of Lulong, he knew that if the Japanese army were to break through the Great Wall, it would be difficult to defend this small county.
He, Miaohua and the others looked at the military map they had received from the commander and began to study their next itinerary. They found that the road from Lulong to Jianchangying was basically a flat road, and they had to pass through several towns on the way. If they followed the caravan,
, I am afraid it will take many days to reach Jianchangying. Only after passing Jianchangying can we officially enter the Yanshan Mountains, and Lengkou Pass is located on a majestic mountain in the Yanshan Mountains, called Phoenix Mountain by the locals.
Zhou Wen calculated the time and feared that it would take more than half a month to return to Shanxi. This time was a bit tight. You must know that after the New Year, the Japanese army will begin to attack Rehe. By then, Shanxi will still need to prepare for various wars.
Plan it yourself, and it is also related to a series of things about the Model Brigade joining the 32nd Army.
