The butcher suddenly thought of Felai's place. They had captured 75mm artillery and a large number of artillery shells. Why not put some of them up for use?

He immediately called the messenger and asked Fellai to push the second door up and use it.

The gangster leader who just led the way looked at Ji Chunsheng with excitement and gestured with his hands and feet to indicate that he had brought him over and the money should be cashed.

Ji Chunsheng probably understood. He smiled and motioned for the little leader to come to a quiet place. He reached out with his left hand to take out a small stack of banknotes from his trouser pocket and handed it over. He reached to the outside of his thigh with his right hand and took out the dagger.

The man's hands were trembling with excitement. He took the banknote and hurriedly unfolded it. He looked closer and tried to see clearly through the weak firelight.

Ji Chunsheng took advantage of his unpreparedness and stabbed the guy directly in the heart. After twisting it, he pushed the body to the ground, then picked up the banknote and put it back into his trouser pocket.

He himself doesn't like people who sell things for glory, and secondly, he can't keep people who know secrets.

Death is a relief for such a gangster, otherwise he would feel very guilty if he spent the thousand silver.

Lying in the distance and observing the military camp, Ji Chunsheng was most worried about whether Lu Wenhu had escaped. This was just an illusion.

…

Speaking of the former Green Camp of the Qing Army in the northern suburbs of Pingxiang, it is now the base of the Guangxi Gang. The sudden sound of huge gunfire and fire and thick smoke from the eastern suburbs after midnight certainly alarmed Song Menqing.

"How do you come back?" Song Menqing asked eagerly while getting dressed.

"My boss, I heard from the scouts that the Tiger Gang's base in the east of the city was attacked at night. It is judged that the enemy crossed from the river to near the East Pier, attacked from behind the base, and stole the Tiger Gang's base." The second boss said.

Weng Tongqing replied.

"Cross the river and disembark from the East Pier... That must be the Fengzhong Security Team! Damn, they are so agile. The arms that just arrived during the day today, they organized a night attack at night, just to nip the Tiger Gang in the bud.

, not giving the pangolin tiger any chance to breathe." Song Menqing said coldly.

At this time, Master Ye rushed in from outside the door in a panic. He looked at Song Menqing at a loss and said:

"Boss Song, Mr. Kimura sent someone over just now, telling us to send troops to reinforce the Tiger Gang as soon as possible. We can't just watch them being destroyed by the crowd. So... what should we do?"

Yes, of course Song Menqing knew this truth. Although he looked down on the Chuanshan Tigers and this group of idiots, once the Tiger Gang was wiped out, the Guangxi Gang would be next.

But the reality is that I just evacuated from Gongjiling a few days ago, and the weapons and equipment only arrived during the day. Most of them haven't been unpacked yet. The cannons, heavy machine guns, etc. are still in pieces and need to be assembled and debugged. I don't have two days to do it.

not available.

But the Fengzhong security team was ruthless. They came to take a preemptive strike and took action overnight, catching the enemy by surprise.

Song Menqing did not reply to Master Ma immediately. He just lowered his head and paced in deep thought, his face looking very ugly.

"Master Ma, order the brothers in the gang to assemble urgently and ask the armory to assemble several mortars overnight, plus the twenty grenades given by the Tiger Gang, and a few light machine guns to deal with them first. In addition, the new arrivals will be

The rifles and grenades will be distributed first."

"And Lao Er's side continues to send scouts to the tiger camp in the eastern suburbs to reconnoiter the fighting situation. There are more than a thousand pangolin tigers, and the existing artillery team cannot be wiped out soon. Maybe the two sides are in a stalemate. This way

It will be helpful for our next move, but we must first find out how many troops the enemy has deployed in a night attack. In addition to crossing the river and attacking from behind, is there any movement in front of the military camp? If so, how many troops are there?"

Song Menqing deserved to have received Eastern military training and had served as a patrol battalion officer for seven or eight years. He had clear ideas and organized arrangements. He definitely did not blindly lead his troops out for reinforcements, but first figured out the enemy first.

"clear…"

Weng Tongqing and Master Ma replied almost in unison, and then took their orders and left, while Song Menqing continued to think about how to deal with it.

The sound of gunfire in the eastern suburbs became more and more intense, and the fires in the military camp became more and more intense. Representatives from Kimura, the Dongyang people, came to urge them several times, but Song Menqing always excused them on the grounds that they were in preparation.

Song Menqing's mood on Kimura's side is understandable.

The brand-new munitions from both sides, totaling nearly 200,000 silver dollars, were put into the warehouse just after they arrived today. In addition, if his artillery team dispatched from Taihu Lake cannot go to rescue in time, Fengzhong Mining may be at a loss.

The most important thing is that if the Tiger Gang is eliminated, the company's goal of curbing the development of Fengzhong Mining will gradually become farther away.

But Song Menqing had to consider the fate of his Guangxi gang. The future is indeed important, but survival is the first factor. Without a living environment, how can there be a future?

In this way, after nearly two hours of procrastination, seven or eight mortars were assembled, and the scouts sent out gradually returned to report.

The key points to summarize the situation are:

Most of the barracks in the Tiger Gang base in the eastern suburbs were captured and burned down by the Fengzhong commandos. The arsenal concentrated in the rear camp and the artillery team were occupied by the enemy. Currently, there is only one military camp in the east, which is the Chuanshan Tiger Camp.

Still holding on.

It is estimated that Lu Wenhu himself is still in the camp, and he cannot escape at all because he is surrounded by a large security team of nearly 200 people.

The Fengzhong Mining Security Team is indeed coming with bad intentions!

Song Menqing was thinking secretly, but he had already spoken:

"The total strength of the Fengzhong Security Team at the Songjiafang Pier Base is only over 500 people. The remainder is a company of the mining area militia, which is nothing to worry about. Now, Chen Tianhua is devoting almost all his strength to attack the Tiger Gang Base. Apart from the Pier garrison,

The mining area militia is actually a platoon guarding the camp."

"But we did the opposite and took a detour to the back of Songjiafang. Taking advantage of their empty defense, we directly attacked their camp. There is a large amount of military supplies and daily necessities piled up there. As long as we occupy it, we will make a fortune."

This is the best solution Song Menqing could come up with.

If the Songjiafang Wharf is captured, it will cut off the outward transportation of coal from the mining area, and prepare for the next step of attacking along the railway line, capturing the entire Anyuan Mountains in one fell swoop, and achieving the strategic goal of the Japanese.

"Blow the horn immediately, gather the troops and march quickly to surround Songjiafang Pier before dawn." Song Menqing issued an order to Weng Tongqing.

"Yes, the master!" Weng Tongqing turned around and left the commander's tent, and asked the bugler to blow the assembly horn.

"Wuangdu...Wuangdu..." This dull horn sound is especially harsh and terrifying in the silent night.
