"How long will it take?" Zhou Weiguo gestured for Liu San to sit down, drink some water, and continue talking.
Liu San was known as a thief god, and he was very good at spying on the situation.
Liu San took a sip of water and said,"It will probably take at least a day. Right now, I don't know the situation of the Japanese arsenal in Laiyang County. However, the inspection of the city gates of Laiyang County was very strict recently. According to the news, the Guizi Guards had made a big move recently. They wanted to attack the Qingyuan Guard Brigade and the Tiger Head Mountain Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. The arsenal in the city was also constantly entering and exiting. It was probably due to the strict inspection of the transportation of grain and ammunition.”。
"This is inevitable!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said,"I think there will be a big battle next." However, if we can take out their arsenal, even if we can't empty the arsenal in Laiyang City, we can still disrupt their military operations.”。
Liu San nodded." It will take at least a day to spy on the armory. On the other hand, Clear Wind Camp was two and a half hours away from Laiyang City. Adding on other factors, it would probably take three hours to reach Laiyang City. It would also take time for him to come back and report. It would probably take two days to get the news back.”。
"We still have plenty of time. Brother Liu San, as long as you report the situation of the Japanese's arsenal in Laiyang, we will be confident in taking down the Japanese's arsenal.”Zhou Weiguo said in shock.
Liu San nodded. Zhou Weiguo was originally the commander of the 522 Cavalry Corps, and he had also studied at the German Military Academy. He was very famous.
Liu San was very confident in Zhou Weiguo.
Liu San stood up and cupped his hands." There's no time to lose. I'll immediately ride a horse to Laiyang. I estimate that I'll give Brother Zhou a confirmation tomorrow morning or before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."”。
"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Liu San!" Zhou Weiguo cupped his hands and said.
Liu San didn't waste any time. He left Clear Wind Camp after being sent off by a soldier from Zhou Weiguo's Independent Battalion and secretly rushed towards Laiyang City.
At this moment, Zhu Ziming, Zhao Shoutian, and the others had already arrived. They saw that Liu San had already descended the mountain.
"Battalion Commander, did Brother Liu San go down the mountain to investigate Laiyang County?" Zhu Ziming asked.”。
"Not bad!"
Zhou Weiguo gestured for Zhu Ziming and the others to sit down. At this time, the recruits had already trained for at least an hour.
It had to be said that the people of Laiyang could still be soldiers.
This time, Zhao Shoutian had personally brought people to recruit soldiers. The seedlings were all pretty good. At least after a meal, they were all full of energy.
"Liu San just told me about a situation. The Japanese Guards are currently replenishing their ammunition in Laiyang County. There might be a big move next, but it was probably to deal with the Guo Army and the Tiger Head Mountain Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. We're a little safe now!"
Zhu Ziming, Zhao Shoutian, Sun Fugui, and the others looked at each other, but they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Clear Wind Camp only had 500 people, and more than half of them were new recruits.
If the Imperial Guard were to command a large force to attack Clear Wind Camp, the current independent battalion would only be able to hold them off for a while and retreat to Azure Dragon Village behind Peace Town to hide.
"Battalion Commander, I have bad news.”Zhu Ziming used to be the boss of Clear Wind Camp, so there were still people outside. Soon, he received news of the movements of the nearby Japanese stronghold.
After asking around, they found out that the devils had come to attack Clear Wind Camp again.
At this moment, he rushed over to Zhou Weiguo's place with Zhao Shoutian and the others to make an emergency response.
When Zhou Weiguo saw this, he knew that the news Zhu Ziming was talking about was indeed bad news." What bad news?”
"Our Clear Wind Camp has some sympathetic commoners outside who act as our eyes and ears!”
Zhou Weiguo nodded. Although Clear Wind Stronghold was a bandit den, the bandits of Clear Wind Stronghold were dealing with the devils. Some local tyrants and evil gentry, and the common people still approved of Clear Wind Stronghold's actions as righteous bandits.
Zhu Ziming's eyes turned serious as he continued,""According to the news, the Japanese troops stationed in Wang Town, which is less than five kilometers away from Clear Wind Camp, and a few other small towns suddenly gathered in Wang Town. Moreover, before the news was sent back, there was already a squadron of Japanese soldiers gathered. Adding on some puppet soldiers, there were probably 400 to 500 Japanese soldiers.”。
"These enemies are planning to attack our Clear Wind Camp?”Zhou Weiguo also realized it and said.
Zhu Ziming nodded and said,"Now, the Japanese and puppet troops of this squadron have already attacked. Their target is our Clear Wind Camp." They would probably reach Clear Wind Camp in another 40 to 50 minutes.”。
"Although Clear Wind Camp has been attacked several times by the Japanese troops, there are a lot of them this time. There are more than 400 people. Moreover, the commoners near the Wang Family Town reported that they had seen two cannons!”
When Zhou Weiguo heard this, his gaze turned solemn.
Normally, a Japanese squadron did not have any cannons. At most, they would have an artillery team when they were reinforced. As for the infantry unit, there was only one artillery unit and two Type 92 cannons to support it.
Right now, there were two cannons in the Wangjia Town. They were most likely the Type 92 Infantry Cannons.
This kind of cannon was light and suitable for use in the field. It was also very good for moving with the army after dismantling.
Two cannons were deployed with the army, which meant that Clear Wind Camp was very important. This was a little like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
"When the devils attacked Clear Wind Camp in the past, did they prepare cannons?”Zhou Weiguo asked Zhu Ziming.
"Not many." Zhu Ziming shook his head and said,"At most, one cannon will fire at Clear Wind Camp." The terrain of Clear Wind Camp is also considered steep. If we defend the front, we can block the attack of one to two hundred enemy troops.”。
"Looks like this is unusual!"
Zhou Weiguo pondered for a moment. The Clear Wind Camp was relatively close to Frontline Sky. It was possible that the Guards had already realized that the Clear Wind Camp might have set up an ambush in Frontline Sky to devour the reinforcements led by his nephew, Shan Shanhao.
"I reckon that the devils in the Wang Family Town stronghold have received the order from the captain of the Laiyang County Devil Brigade, Wei Jinwen!”
Zhu Ziming also reacted and said,"The guards guessed that we were the ones who ambushed them in Frontline Sky?”。
"It's possible!"
"Battalion Commander, what should we do?" Shoutian Zhao, the Second Company Commander, asked. There were too many Japanese and puppet soldiers!”。
"This little bit of enemy troops isn't even enough for us to eat! The new recruits have only been training for more than an hour. I think they will see blood sooner or later. How about pulling them out to ambush them? Brothers!"
Zhou Weiguo's eyes suddenly lit up as he suggested to Zhu Ziming and the others.
Zhu Ziming nodded and said,"That works too!" The recruits of the two companies this time were mostly people who had held guns before. There were only about a hundred recruits who could only use guns, and their combat skills were not very good at the moment.”。
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. The devils have sent their troops. We can't just take a beating passively. We have to take the initiative to attack and ambush them!”
Zhou Weiguo asked someone to bring him a map and pointed at a location with a sly smile.
"Is it still One-Line-Sky?"
Zhao Shoutian, Third Company Commander Li Wu, and the others exclaimed.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled and nodded. Then, he said to Zhu Ziming,"Oh right, what's the name of this Japanese squadron leader?”。
"It's called Fuga Takeda!"
