Yu Chenglong, Hua Mama and Yinping, under the leadership of Lin Fushun, went five or six miles out of the city to meet the commander-in-chief. They were nervous and excited, but more of an expectation.
As soon as Commander Yang met with Yu Chenglong, Hua Yanrong and Yinping, he made detailed arrangements without exchanging too many greetings. Then everyone was asked for their opinions, and everyone stood at attention solemnly, saluted, and answered in unison.
"Resolutely carry out the order!"
"We are sure of success in this battle because the Japanese did not expect it and were not well prepared, and we have taken a multi-pronged approach to disperse his forces.
This is the first battle of the establishment of our Manchuria Liberation Army. We must show our prestige and morale. After we return, we will explain it clearly to our brothers, explain the truth thoroughly, and cheer up our brothers.
We will start in the middle of the night and resolve the battle within an hour. The military horse farm will start first. When it starts over there, we will start at the grain depot and arsenal at the same time. Now go back and prepare! "
After receiving the commander's order, everyone quickly left to prepare separately. Everyone is holding back their energy, thinking about how to complete the task, and secretly determined to win this battle!
Yu Chenglong came to his team and met with Deputy Commander Zhang and other brothers. After a cordial greeting, Yu Chenglong informed everyone of the commander-in-chief's order and informed the brothers of the tasks that the right route army would undertake.
"I have to go to the city for business later, so I have to send two brothers to go with me. Deputy Commander Zhang, when you see the Navy Captain and others moving to the city, follow them.
When you arrive outside the east gate of Jiangyuan County, you will hide and wait for me there. That area is relatively flat, so be careful not to expose it in advance.
The commander-in-chief asked us to boost the morale of our brothers and explain the importance of our operation. This first battle can only be won, and there must be no mistakes.
Deputy Commander Zhang, if your speech is inflammatory, it's up to you to talk to the brothers and ask them to eat everything they have before taking action in the middle of the night.
These things are for you and the battalion commanders, just three chickens, and I gave three more to the commander-in-chief, the navy commander and commander Xiao. They have all been eaten. See you at the east city gate. "
After Yu Chenglong explained to his brothers, he and the navy captain each took two brothers into the city and came to the big car shop in the east of the city. Yu Chenglong asked the two brothers he brought to wait for him here.
Then Yu Chenglong led the Navy Captain and the others along the street to the west of the city. They saw the Japanese barracks in the distance. Yu Chenglong and the Navy Captain led the people and slowly approached.
When they came to the houses closest to the Japanese barracks, several people stopped, because there was no cover if they went further and they were easily discovered.
"Let's not go any further. Be careful of being discovered by the Japs. This road is the only way for the Japs to go out. I suggest you lay in ambush here.
Gather the brothers into these houses and courtyards to stop the Japanese! You also need to bring more grenades. The Japanese may have cars and cannot withstand them here, so they will retreat to the second line of defense. "
The navy captain carefully inspected the terrain for a while, nodded and said, "Okay. Let's set up the first line of defense here and give the Japanese a blow first!"
A few people observed for a while and then left, and then walked to a place not far from the grain depot. Yu Chenglong pointed in the distance with his hand and told the navy captain that what was dimly visible there was the little Japanese's grain depot.
"Brother Hai, did you see that? That's the Japs' grain depot there. The road under our feet is the road leading to the grain depot, and further on we'll reach the intersection of this street.
There happens to be a raised earth beam at the intersection of this road. Battalion Commander Yinping suggests that you set up defenses on this beam. First, you can block the Japanese reinforcements from the left and right, and second, you can cover the retreat of Commander Xiao and others. "
"The commander-in-chief has already told me that what you said in your letter is very detailed. I'm just going to check it out on the spot. It's really good. I'll set up ambushes in these two places to stop the little devil!"
Let's go and have a look at that beam. Then you can go about your business. I won't disturb you anymore. We'll see you behind the mound outside the city. "
After the navy captain finished speaking, he followed Yu Chenglong to the earth beam that was not very prominent. He then said goodbye to Yu Chenglong and led others to inspect the terrain in detail.
Yu Chenglong came to Shopkeeper Fu's big car shop and found the two brothers. He looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and led the two people into the big car shop.
A waiter came out to greet him, and Yu Chenglong said that he wanted to see the shopkeeper and had an interview about important matters. The store clerk looked at Yu Chenglong suspiciously for a long time, but still went back to the house to report it.
When the store clerk called Shopkeeper Fu out, when he saw that it was Yu Chenglong who was looking for him, he greeted him with a smile and led the three of them into a single room to talk.
"The carriage I put here will be used tonight. These are the two guys I hired. There is a batch of goods that has to leave tonight, so I come to disturb you so late.
First, get some food for the two guys like me and feed the horses. After the meal, we have to harness the carriage and drive away. This is food money and food money, you keep it first. "
Yu Chenglong said and handed over the money, but shopkeeper Fu did not pick it up. He smiled and shook his head and said that all the accounts would be settled later, so just say something.
"Eldest brother is out. Didn't you say that you should keep the accounts first and wait until there is not enough money? Wait a moment, I will make arrangements right away."
After shopkeeper Fu finished speaking, he went out to make arrangements. After a short time, the waiter brought the food for the two brothers to eat, while Yu Chenglong and shopkeeper Fu continued to chat.
"Businesskeeper Fu's place is really grand. It's such a big place and it's worthy of being an old store. It's so grand!"
"Brother, I have told you that the business is not very good now, that is to say, it may fail one day."
"That's not possible. Shopkeeper Fu is so smart, he will definitely make a fortune."
Yu Chenglong continued to compliment, but shopkeeper Fu sighed a little. Yu Chenglong saw that Shopkeeper Fu was a little depressed, but he still encouraged him with good words, and Shopkeeper Fu laughed.
"Thank you for your good advice, please take care of me in the future. We will all get rich!"
"Do you have a phone here? That thing is very convenient for doing business."
"You're really asking. The Japanese asked me to install it just a few days ago. It's actually useless and costs a lot of money." Shopkeeper Fu smiled bitterly: "If you want to use it, I will help you use it."
"I don't need it, I'm just asking. Do you have a pen and paper? I want to write a letter."
Shopkeeper Fu immediately asked someone to bring paper and pen, and Yu Chenglong lay on the table writing a letter. After writing the letter and sealing it, the two brothers also finished their meal and several people came to the yard.
The night was already deep at this time, the land in the distance was dark, and the night sky was not very bright. Half the moon hung in the western sky, and the stars in the sky blinked strange eyes, quiet and messy.
