Back at Mother Hua's residence, Mother Hua was still immersed in the grief of missing her goddaughter, with regret and helplessness in her words.
At this time, Yu Chenglong's mind had returned to reality. He was anxiously waiting for new news to arrive. This was also his main intention in coming to Hua Mama.
Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long, and the two brothers from the Qianliang Department who were sent out to find out the news hurriedly rushed here and reported the situation to Jackie Chan.
Hua's mother invited the two brothers from the money and food department into the house and asked Shan Ju to pour some boiling water for them. She also sent Shan Xing out to watch the wind, and asked the two brothers who had just arrived to sit down and report slowly.
"According to Commander Yu's order, we went down the mountain to conduct careful reconnaissance and ran to several places, and finally found a more suitable place to seize food.
There is a place called Bali City more than 180 miles away from here, and there is a relatively large grain processing factory more than six miles away.
Although it is run by Chinese people, it is actually controlled by the Japanese. All the processed food is taken away by the Japanese, and no takeout is done at all.
In order to buy grain, we once sent a brother undercover. According to him, now is the time when the Japanese are processing grain in large quantities.
Under normal circumstances, the Japanese will transport food every ten days. Today is the eighth day, and the Japanese will transport food in two days.
Now is the opportunity. There happens to be a large amount of processed grain waiting to be shipped out. There is still enough time, and this grain processing plant is not defended by the Japanese yet.
Although the yard is well guarded, there are very few people guarding it. We can make good use of this loophole and go to the grain processing factory in Bali City to seize the grain.
We inquired carefully and found that there were no large Japanese strongholds within dozens of miles of that place, so we could rob them with confidence and boldness. "
The brothers who went to reconnoiter did not even drink water and hurriedly reported the situation. After hearing this, Yu Chenglong did not make an immediate decision, but asked in detail.
"Do you want to use a car or a horse-drawn carriage to transport food there?"
"They were all transported in captured large carriages, about thirty carriages at a time, with thirty Japanese soldiers sitting on the carriages to escort them, and more than twenty Japanese soldiers leading the way."
"Very good, the situation is very detailed. Mother Hua will cook for us right away. After dinner, we will go to Bali City to visit together."
Yu Chenglong seemed to be confident. He asked Hua's mother to arrange cooking immediately, prepare some dry food, and said that he would set off immediately after the meal.
After eating, Yu Chenglong and Hua Mama, and Shan Ju and the other two brothers, took a small carriage out of Jiangyuan County and walked quickly towards Bali City.
Seven or eight miles out of the city, we came to the farmer's house where Yu Chenglong had stored his horses. After saying hello, Yu Chenglong asked Hua's mother to store the two cars here first.
After bidding farewell to the farmer's family, the five people headed off on horseback. The journey was non-stop, and we arrived at Bali City after dark.
Yu Chenglong asked a brother to quickly contact the undercover brother, while he and Hua Mama checked the terrain of Bali City from different directions.
When the four people met again, the brother who went to contact also called the undercover brother. After a few simple greetings, Yu Chenglong asked about the situation.
"How is the grain being processed in the processing plant now? Can the Japanese come and transport it on time? Which road are they going to take? Where will it be transported?"
"The grain has been almost processed. It is all high-quality grain. If we work for another day tomorrow, it will be enough for the Japanese to load it into trucks and take it away.
The Japanese will not arrive until tomorrow night. They will stay here overnight and then load the truck. They will get up early and leave early the day after tomorrow. But I don’t know where the Japanese will transport the food.
Anyway, I always take the road at my feet, walking south along the east wall of Bali City. After crossing the river, I don’t know where I’m going. "
The undercover brother answered Yu Chenglong's questions seriously, but Yu Chenglong still continued to ask. He wanted to ask clearly in order to better arrange the plan to rob food.
"Are there always so many people here?"
"Yes, every time there are thirty large carriages, thirty Japanese soldiers per carriage are responsible for escorting them, and twenty Manchurian garrison troops are leading the way, and there are never any mistakes.
It's been two years, it's been like this every year, it's never changed, and this time will be no exception. "
Hearing the affirmative answer from the undercover brother, Yu Chenglong became more confident. He decided to set up an ambush in Bali City and seize the little Japanese's grain truck by surprise.
"Okay, you go back to the processing factory first. Pay attention to safety. I will send someone to pick up your head at midnight tomorrow to see if there are any changes. You should be more cautious and don't arouse suspicion. Goodbye!"
After Yu Chenglong and others held hands and said goodbye to the undercover brothers, the undercover brothers left, and Yu Chenglong initially explained his thoughts to Hua Mama and others.
After asking in detail about the situation of the Balicheng Grain Processing Factory, Yu Chenglong sent the undercover brother away, then sat down and told his thoughts to Hua Mama and others.
"Let's lie in wait in Bali City, ambush the Japanese's grain transport convoy, annihilate them all, and then grab the trucks and pull the grain and retreat quickly.
Five miles west of Bali City, there is a village called Wulitun, with only about thirty households. The four of you will greet us there tomorrow night.
You should leave here now, but don’t go back to the county town. The journey is too far. Find a place to stay first. I'm going to go over and bring the brothers over, and I'll meet you again at midnight tomorrow night. "
Yu Chenglong expressed his thoughts to the four Hua Mamas, but none of the four people responded immediately. Among the four, only Hua Mamas could express their opinions, and the other three just obeyed the orders.
"Do we have that many manpower? I think it would be more reliable to go to the processing factory to seize the food."
Mother Hua thought for a long time and finally put forward her own opinion. After hearing this, Yu Chenglong immediately went to explain to Hua's mother to dispel her concerns.
"We have enough manpower. But now it's too late to seize it. After we pulled the team over, the Japanese also arrived. More importantly, we didn't have a car and couldn't transport it away at all.
If we miss this meeting, we have to wait. If time goes by, I'm afraid that my brothers will be exposed, so I won't be able to grab it.
At the moment, this is the only way to go. I think it’s still safe. Please rest assured, Mother Hua, I won’t take my brothers to take risks. "
"Then I'll follow your arrangements. We'll leave first. You have to be careful along the way! We'll see you tomorrow night."
After listening to Yu Chenglong's explanation, Hua's mother felt that what he said made sense, so she did not raise any objections, but quickly said goodbye to Yu Chenglong and left with the three of them.
