"Boss Song, this is the leader of our Pingxiang Tiger Gang, Lu. He said that you are welcome to come to Pingxiang and join the Tiger Gang!" Master Ye spoke broken Cantonese and translated.

"Thank you Gang Leader Lu for your love. We, the children of Guangxi, are good at running through mountains and forests, and swimming in lakes. We can help Gang Leader Lu solve any troubles!"

This guy is also a free-spirited guy, so let's brag about it first. Anyway, they are all desperadoes, and they have been doing the business of killing people, stealing goods, and robbing families and homes. No one here knows their details.

Song Menqing's accent is also very strange. It may be because he traveled all over the country. Guangxi dialect is mixed with Hunan dialect, and there are also a few words from the local Ganxi dialect. Anyway, they are all different.

If there is a pure Hunanese or Guangxiese here now, he will not understand what they are saying at all.

But the miraculous thing is that these two half-hearted people, Master Ye and Song Menqing, can actually understand each other in this erroneous conversation!

"What are these Guangxi guys talking about?" Lu Wenhu frowned and muttered to himself. He must not understand and despise them.

The current treatment of Guangxi people in the Qing Dynasty is much lower than that of people in other provinces.

Looking back at history, of course, it was the vigorous Taiping Rebellion launched by Hong Xiuquan fifty years ago, which caused the Qing Dynasty's national power to decline, hundreds of millions of people to be plunged into war, and the people were in dire straits.

Today's Qing people, when they hear that they are from Guangxi, they immediately think of those rebellious "long-haired" soldiers.

"Boss Song, don't you need to take a break?" Master Ye used all his language skills to communicate with the other party.

Song Menqing nodded and said: "We are not tired as we came here by boat. We need to understand the opponent's strength first. Have you done some reconnaissance before to understand the enemy's situation?"

Lu Wenhu couldn't understand the words and kept frowning and worried. He couldn't help but curiously asked Master Ye again, "Hey Master, what is this birdman talking about?"

"He said that they need to investigate the enemy's firepower and equipment in advance, and asked us if we had done any investigation before!" This time, Master Ye finally answered the gang leader's question head-on.

"Reconnaissance? We all know the situation of Fengzhong Mining. We can complete the introduction in ten minutes, so why reconnaissance? Hurry up and launch an attack in the Anyuan Mountain area. They have been working hard for five days, and now they are still doing it.

Investigation, this is all paid by me!" Lu Wenhu's brows furrowed into an inverted figure.

What he cares about most now is this, money in vain.

After this group of Guangxi guys came, they spent three thousand yuan a month, not counting military equipment, food, drinks and sleeping expenses.

If it wasn't for the purpose of overthrowing this damn Fengzhong Mining Security Team and regaining the prestige of the largest Tiger Gang in Pingxiang, he wouldn't have spent money to hire these skinny mountain monkeys.

"Of course, Mr. Tiger, each team has its own fighting habits. I heard that Boss Song has a good way of fighting." Master Ye gave an affirmative answer.

"Damn, they all say they have their own tricks. I hope their tricks will work for Fengzhong Mining. Alas... we should train some elite soldiers ourselves!"

Lu Wenhu's face became a little gloomy and ugly, but he finally endured it. He looked at Master Ye gloomily and said in a deep voice:

"Okay then, I will hand them over to you. Within a week, I demand that those people from Fengzhong Mining from other places be killed!"

"Okay, Gang Leader, I'll try my best to handle it well!"

With the support of this group of Guangxi mercenaries, Master Ye seems to be confident now. There is a lot of cannon fodder here that can be used to contain the Fengzhong Mining Security Team head-on, and then let the Guangxi soldiers get behind them and sneak attack their retreat.

That’s it!

This time the Japanese have artillery support again, so they should be more confident in fighting than before.

This time we are prepared to attack, and the money and weapons are supported by Japanese people, so the effect should be good.

Boss Song and his Guangxi independent battalion are very efficient and have great combat experience.

No matter how much the gang leader dislikes these monkey soldiers, there are two things they do very well that are worth learning from other troops in the Tiger Gang.

The first is the attitude towards the enemy, meticulously paying attention to information about various situations, and secretly analyzing and thinking of countermeasures.

The second is the efficiency when working. It can basically destroy the old subordinates of the Tiger Gang. It seems that you get what you pay for.

After the Guangxi Independent Battalion set up camp, Song Menqing immediately divided the forty-man scout platoon into five groups and began moving around to collect intelligence.

This Guangxi soldier is not a well-known gang in the world. They have just arrived in Dongting Lake, and they need to open up a situation here, make a name for themselves, and become independent in the world from now on.

They have no foothold now, so they are temporarily attached to Lu Wenhu's Tiger Gang. In fact, Song Menqing doesn't despise this gang leader at all. He is a poor stingy, so how can they develop and grow in the future.

Don't underestimate Song Menqing's men, all of whom are plain-looking, lean and short. Most of them were from the Green Camp and City Defense Camp of the Qing Army, and most of all they had experience in rural regiment training.

Each of them is quite proficient in the use of new weapons such as machine rifles and grenades. Compared with the new recruits, they are veterans on the battlefield.

"There are coal mines in the Anyuan Mountains. The mining area is protected by a security force composed of Anhui and Zhejiang, as well as a militia composed of local miners. There are only more than 200 people in the security force, and only one of them remains in the mining area.

There are more than a hundred people, and the rest are at a ship dock called Songjiafang."

"Their mining area militia has more than 600 people, and their weapons and equipment are not much different from those of the Tiger Gang. They have standard rifles and blunderbuss, fire blunderbuss, matchlock guns, etc. But their security forces are very formal, uniformly dressed, and well-equipped with weapons and equipment.

, has a lot of artillery, as well as mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and probably grenades."

"I heard that there are still more than 400 regular security forces. They are currently escorting the Dongting Lake area, not in the Anyuan Mountains and Pingxiang County."

"..."

After Song Menqing listened to the information in the collection, he nodded and said to the leaders of each company:

"Brothers, listen to me, our opponents this time are different from the previous caravans. They may be a regular army. For this reason, we cannot use conventional tactics. Contact Master Ye, okay? We need to

Their help!”

"We have been contacted and will be here soon!" said a small leader in charge of liaison.

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Ye came to the Guangxi camp with several Tiger Gang leaders.

The Chuanshan Hulu gang leader has been a little irritable these days. He just sees these monkey soldiers coming in and out of the camp. They eat, drink, and defecate here every day. He also complains that the food is poor. He complains that the bedding given to him is too thin, and he is woken up by the cold in the middle of the night and cannot sleep.

wait.
