Based on the intelligence obtained from Ancheng, Su Yuan realized that with the current capabilities of his troops, he could not capture the city for the time being. Not only because Ancheng had increased its troops again, but also because the Japanese in several surrounding counties and towns had also stepped up their precautions. They could move forward at any time.
Come to the rescue.
But the fight against the Japanese could not stop. Su Yuan began to plan to deal with the large and small strongholds in the surrounding towns first. However, according to the reconnaissance results, the Japanese had strengthened the defense of the strongholds since the raid failed and retreated. Not only did they build many watchtowers and bunkers, they also dug holes
A suspension bridge was erected out of the wide and deep trench, which was impossible to take down without heavy weapons.
Since it was not possible to attack the Japanese with an offensive for the time being, he would try to lure them out. Su Yuan first set a preliminary combat policy.
Now the two people sent by Yuan Yongfu to exchange things had an opportunity. Su Yuan caught up with Qin Yue and quickly made a plan of "pitting". The meaning of "pitting" is that the fishermen find a good position before fishing and spread the bait in advance to lure the fish.
Come, and then lower the hook. Not only will the fish be attracted, but the greedy fish will also relax their vigilance.
When Su Yuan caught up with Qin Yue and others' convoy, they had already entered the mountainous area. When they were bypassing Feiyun Mountain, they met Cao Bao, who had been ordered to search here.
"What do you do?" Cao Bao led a search team to surround them.
"Masters, we are doing business and sending something to the mountains." Su Yuan stepped forward to talk.
"Who are you cheating on?" Cao Bao immediately shouted: "There is no road or home if we go further, what kind of business are you doing?" Cao Bao immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Search for me!"
Wu Gang and Qin Yue came to stop them. Although they knew this was a guerrilla group, they had guns in them, so it was difficult for the team members to take action when they saw it.
Su Yuan immediately said: "Masters, we are indeed delivering goods to the mountains..." At the same time, he stepped forward and secretly signaled Cao Bao to take action. In the eyes of the two agents who followed, Su Yuan seemed to be bribing the other party.
Sure enough, Cao Bao pushed him away and shouted: "We are the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, you think we are bandits! Search for me!"
"That's good." Su Yuan replied.
The squadron leader led the team to search the captain's goods. Qin Yue and Wu Gang were amused. Similarly, the team members were also surprised. The search must be successful, but the intensity of the search was not stated.
Cao Bao on the side shouted: "Search carefully for me."
His words made the team members understand, so they easily found the guns and ammunition. "Squadron leader, there are guns here!" the team members shouted.
"Surround me up." Cao Bao shouted immediately. His words made the two agents who followed him so scared that they almost peed their pants.
Su Yuan immediately explained: "Everyone, I am sending this to a village in the mountains. They were harassed by bandits some time ago. This is to protect the village."
"That village?" Cao Bao asked immediately.
"Yes, this can't be said." Su Yuan said awkwardly.
"That's a lie, take it back to the mountain for me." Cao Bao shouted immediately.
"It's a peach garden deep in the mountains." Qin Yue on the side interrupted.
"I've never heard of it." Cao Bao just said this and immediately slapped his head and shouted: "Did some wounded people be captured there some time ago?"
"Yes, those are bandits who entered the mountains." Wu Gang replied.
"Nonsense, those are our guerrillas." Cao Bao said, "I am looking for them, and now is the time."
"This is a misunderstanding." Su Yuan said immediately: "Let's do this, you let us go, and I will put your people back when the time comes."
"You take us there, and we will explain to them that we are the Eighth Route Army, a team of ordinary people, and they will understand." Cao Bao said.
"No, no one can enter Taoyuan." Wu Gang said immediately.
"Then how can I trust you?" Cao Bao said immediately: "Well, you can take this thing away, but you must leave a few people behind."
"But there is no road ahead, so we have to carry our things into the mountains ourselves." Su Yuan said.
"Then I don't care." Cao Bao said.
"I'm the boss, and I have to collect money." Su Yuan said immediately.
"I and I are from Taoyuan Village, we have to lead the way." Qin Yue and Wu Gang said immediately.
"One is enough, you stay," Cao Bao pointed at Qin Yue and at the same time pointed at the two agents, "There are also you two, so I can rest assured. There are people from the mountains and your buddies, so I'm not afraid that you won't come back.
"
Now that there was no one to follow and monitor, Su Yuan did not go into the mountain again. He used two days to make preparations for the next step. Considering that a lot of supplies would be needed in the mountains in the future, and the special products from the mountains would also have to be transported out, this road
Still have to use it.
Su Yuan even borrowed some Ming Dynasty porcelain and bronzeware from his own home and came to Feiyun Mountain. This time Chunlei showed up.
Wu Gang and Chun Lei discussed the matter of the wounded. In order to create some misunderstanding for the Japanese, the two did not reach an agreement and they clashed in front of the two agents.
Chun Lei took out his grievances on Su Yuan. He checked the things Su Yuan had prepared. Looking at the things in front of him, Chun Lei asked: "Can you get the money to pay for your goods?"
"Yes, the people there don't have any money, so they can only use these things in exchange." Su Yuan replied.
"What are you going to do with these things?" Chunlei asked.
"Of course I'm looking for a buyer to sell it to," Su Yuan replied.
"Then you know the value of these things." Chunlei said, picking up a vase.
"Know something." Su Yuan said deliberately: "Taoyuan Village has not had contact with the outside world for more than three hundred years. These are all things from the Ming Dynasty."
"Well, yes, this vase is engraved with the seal characters "Yongle Year System". This vase alone is enough to feed our squadron for a year." His words shocked the people around him.
"Hey, sir, you are kidding." Su Yuan replied deliberately: "I exchanged this for cloth, oil, and salt."
"There are also guns and ammunition, instructor, this guy is not simple." Cao Bao immediately added.
"If you have guns, then you gave them to the Japs." Chun Lei immediately shouted: "Otherwise, where did you get the guns, and you were able to deliver them here, and the Japs and traitors didn't notice you on the way."
"I am really doing business." Su Yuan immediately said: "There is not much money in Taoyuan Village, so I am not willing to give these things to me. Who should I sell this thing to when the war is in chaos, let alone me?"
It’s not an easy trip, I also want to use my money to collect some mountain goods here.”
"That's good, we want these things, and we must not let Chinese things go outside." Chunlei said immediately: "I can give you the money, you can give me a price, of course the price of your goods."
"Isn't that bad?" Su Yuan declined.
"You really want to be a traitor!" Cao Bao said immediately.
"No, then two thousand oceans." Su Yuan pretended to be afraid and said immediately.
Chun Lei and Cao Bao looked at each other and nodded. Chun Lei then said: "We don't have the money. In this case, I will give you one thousand, and we will pay for it with goods from the mountains."
"Okay." Su Yuan responded pretending to be helpless.
Later, Chunlei asked the two agents sent to take the money and go back. In front of Su Yuan, he said: "Your boss stays here to help us collect the mountain products. You go to the city to sell the mountain products and bring some grain and oil when you come back."
cloth."
"Sir, I'm the boss, I'd better let them stay here while I go, they won't do anything good." Su Yuan said deliberately.
The two spies didn't dare to stay here. They immediately said: "Boss, don't worry, we have done a good job. Besides, we need money here, and we are not interested in this money."
"Well, you feel more at ease staying here and away from us." Chunlei finally said.
After the two agents took some of the mountain goods away, Chunlei couldn't help but smile to Su Yuan and said: "The man named Yuan suffered a big loss this time. Do you think he will come back?"
"One of my vases is enough to feed a squadron for a year. Do you think he will come back?" Su Yuanze said.
