Anti war ranger

Chapter 426
When Zhao Cheng and Lieutenant Okamoto were calculating the gains and losses, Lu Yuan who returned to the valley was also discussing things with Xiao Haishan. When he learned that Lu Yuan deliberately exposed this place to Zhao's family members, Xiao Haishan didn't know what to say to Lu Yuan for a while. it is good. "Mr. Lu, although we have increased our troops, we have been fighting for several days in a row. In addition to carrying supplies, everyone's physical strength is exhausted. If the Japanese army returns here at this time, the situation will be very unfavorable to us. .”

Xiao Haishan's expression at the moment can be considered to be exasperated, but Lu Yuan smiled and said to Xiao Haishan, "Do you remember what it was like when the Japanese and puppet troops attacked here two times before? Which of their two attacks was it?" The strength of the army did not exceed 200, so what is the result? It’s not a failure. Lao Xiao, you shouldn’t underestimate your own strength, let alone hundreds of Eighth Route Army help this time.”

Xiao Haishan is not a person who can't listen to other people's opinions. Hearing what Lu Yuan said, Xiao Haishan immediately calmed down and thought about it carefully. It seemed that what Lu Yuan said just now was correct.Seeing this, Lu Yuan added fuel to the fire, "Old Xiao, it will take at least a day to return to Zhaojiaji from here. After the information is reported, the nearby Japanese and puppet troops will dispatch troops to gather their forces. One day passes, and then it takes them another day to come here, so it's three days here and there."

Lu Yuan smiled and stretched out three fingers to shake in front of Xiao Haishan, "Old Xiao, three days is enough for your people to rest and recover." Lu Yuan's words made Xiao Haishan suddenly enlightened, and he had three days to spare , It is indeed enough for the guerrillas to recover their physical strength, and in three days, it can also allow the Eighth Route Army to familiarize themselves with the terrain here.After thinking about this, the original worries in Xiao Haishan's heart instantly dissipated without a trace, and when he looked at Lu Yuan again, there was a faint light in his eyes.

Lu Yuan took the initiative to reveal his position to the servants of the Zhao family, which Xiao Haishan did not expect in advance. Although he was persuaded by Lu Yuan, Xiao Haishan knew that he had to persuade Xu Heizi and Wang Dahe. "What? You said that Lu Yuan used Zhao's servants to drive carts on purpose? To attract more Japanese and puppet troops here?" Sure enough, Xiao Haishan did not expect, after he told Xu Heizi the truth When we were with Wang Dahe, the first one to react was the grumpy Xu Heizi.

Having successively won the county seat and Zhaojiaji, Wang Dahe and Xu Heizi have already seen the hope of establishing a base here, and what they hope most now is sufficient time.The news brought by Ke Xiao Haishan shattered their hopes of establishing a base area. Once the Japanese and puppet troops attacked here, all their energy and manpower would be used in combat, so where would they have time and energy to worry about it? To establish a base.

Xu Heizi and Wang Dahe didn't have time to tell Xiao Haishan about the establishment of the base, so Xiao Haishan didn't know what the news he brought meant to Xu Heizi and Wang Dahe.Xu Heizi was already on the verge of an emotional outburst, but Wang Dahe stopped him with his eyes, "Old Xiao, since Lu Yuan decided to do this, he will have his reasons. I see that you have been chatting for a long time, did he talk to you? What is the reason? Another thing is that our physical strength is too great. Once the Japanese and puppet troops attack aggressively, we may not be able to withstand their attack."

What Wang Dahe was worried about was exactly the same as Xiao Haishan just now, so Xiao Haishan could only smile wryly, repeating what Lu Yuan had just told him in detail, Wang Dahe and Xu Heizi looked at each other after hearing it, and the two of them People understand in their hearts that Lu Yuan has obviously considered all the problems.The analysis that Lu Yuan said to Xiao Haishan is not unreasonable, and Lu Yuan and the two have amazing fighting power, coupled with the terrain advantage of this valley, if the Japanese and puppet troops who invaded are less than 500 people, they will not be able to constitute a threat to this place at all. what a threat.

Xiao Haishan has also been paying attention to the expressions of Xu Heizi and Wang Dahe. Seeing that their expressions have softened slightly, Xiao Haishan continued to speak. "What Mr. Lu said is not unreasonable. Our combined strength is close to 500 people, and we have an advantage in terrain. What's more, we have enough weapons and ammunition in our hands. Coupled with the two [-]-type infantry guns, you little devil If there are fewer people coming, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to see the entrance of the valley.” The two [-]-type infantry artillery were the biggest support of the Xiaojiacun guerrillas, and Wang Dahe was ordered to bring a few artillerymen this time. The Men [-]-type infantry artillery has exerted its power, and this valley can indeed be regarded as impenetrable.

How Xiao Haishan persuaded Xu Heizi and Wang Dahe, Lu Yuan didn't care at all, while other people were carrying supplies, Lu Yuan took Huzi to the cave in the valley where the Japanese army had stored supplies.The Japanese army occupied this place to build a secret airport, so when a large number of laborers were recruited to level the ground, the Japanese and puppet troops brought in a large amount of materials for the construction of the secret airport, including a lot of cement and sand and gravel.When Lu Yuan built the fortifications on the mountain wall last time, he used some cement and sand and gravel materials. This time, Lu Yuan planned to use up all the cement and sand and gravel materials in this cave.

"We may only have three to four days to use, so I need a lot of manpower. Before it gets dark today, we must determine the location and location of the fortifications, and move all the cement and sand and gravel materials out of the cave. Just hurry up In time, the cement fortifications can dry before the Japanese and puppet troops invade, and we only need a small amount of such cement fortifications to seal the mouth of the valley." How to use these cement and sand and gravel materials to build fortifications, I am afraid that only Lu Yuan is the best here. Countless, he from later generations is very familiar with concrete buildings.

Accompanied by Xiao Haishan, Xu Heizi and Wang Dahe had already gone to see the fortifications built by Lu Yuan, and personally tested the firmness of the fortifications. Both Xu Heizi and Wanda told Lu Yuan that the concrete They were very interested in the fortifications. After learning that the cement could not be preserved for a long time, Wang Dahe and Xu Heizi immediately urged Lu Yuan to start building the concrete fortifications. "Mr. Lu, manpower is not a problem. My battalion can give you two companies. Before joining the army, these soldiers were all good at work. You can transfer them as you like." Wang Dahe directly assigned two companies to Lu Yuan. The Eighth Route Army soldier said that if the manpower is still insufficient, he can continue to send people to call Lu Yuan.

With materials and enough manpower, Lu Yuan rolled out the booth before dark. Under the illumination of a large number of torches and bonfires, the valley entrance has become a bustling construction site.The previous fortifications on the mountain wall were further repaired and strengthened. Lu Yuan also mobilized manpower to build a stair passage using the mountain wall under the platform on the back of the fortification.In addition, on the opposite side of the mountain wall fortifications, Lu Yuan also mobilized manpower to build several machine gun fortresses with concrete. In this way, these machine gun fortresses can form crossfire with the mountain wall fortifications at the valley entrance.

"The thickness of these fortifications is more than 50 centimeters, and steel bars are inserted in the middle. Fortifications of this thickness can at least withstand the bombardment of all caliber mortars of the Japanese army with a caliber of less than 100 mm. As for the Japanese [-]-type infantry artillery, Drag our Type [-] infantry artillery over here and try firing a few rounds, and you'll be clear." After a whole night of busy work, the hustle and bustle at the mouth of the valley gradually dissipated when the sky turned pale.Lu Yuan, who had been busy all night, was very satisfied with the completed fortresses, but Wang Dahe and Xu Heizi were still a little worried.

Lu Yuanyan said that these concrete fortresses could withstand the bombardment of Japanese mortars with a caliber of less than 100 mm. Wang Dahe was a little bit unconvinced, but the concrete fortresses were not dry yet. Even if Wang Dahe wanted to use the Type [-] infantry artillery to test , At least wait for the concrete fortifications to dry out first.After working all night, Wang Dahe's soldiers were very tired, and Lu Yuan was also very hard. There was only one company sent by Wang Dahe to serve as a guard.

Lu Yuan fell asleep until lunch time after a drowsy sleep. If Xiao Haishan hadn't come to wake him up, Lu Yuan might have been able to sleep until it got dark again. "The men under Battalion Commander Wang have arrested a few suspicious people on the side of Niutoushan, and I don't think they are good people." Xiao Haishan explained the purpose of coming, and Lu Yuan didn't get up from the bed at all, but secretly opened the full-view map , Sure enough, at the corner of the valley, Lu Yuan found several red dots.

This must be a spy sent by the Japanese and puppet army. Lu Yuan couldn't help being interested, so he got up and washed, and followed Xiao Haishan to the corner of the valley.It was also the cave where the Japanese army had piled up cement and sand and gravel. The soldiers under Wang Dahe used waste and locked those suspicious people here.After a few glances through the wooden fence, Lu Yuan made a judgment before Xiao Haishan next to him could see clearly.

"Don't look at it, it's not a good thing. It's probably a spy sent by the Japanese puppet army." Xiao Haishan was very surprised by Lu Yuan's judgment. He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any flaws.Seeing this, Lu Yuan explained, "Pay attention to the shoes they wear. Common people can't afford this kind of rubber-soled shoes. There is also the left wrist with long hair. There is a lump on his left wrist. The skin color of the skin is obviously fairer than other places, it is not a birthmark, it should be because of wearing the watch for a long time."

Lu Yuan smiled and looked at Xiao Haishan, "Do you think ordinary people can afford to wear watches? Since they can wear rubber-soled shoes and wear watches, why do they have to dress like a beggar? The world is wandering around in this mountain." Lu Yuan's explanation made Xiao Haishan suddenly realize.Xiao Haishan is very familiar with the life of the people in the surrounding villages. People who have money would rather buy more food and livestock than spend money on watches and rubber-soled shoes that they don't need.
