Chapter 652: Doing Business with the Puppet Army Battalion Commander
What is even more unexpected is that the two consecutive artillery towers on the road ahead are both within the coverage range of the Japanese 75 field guns.
In other words, once these two artillery towers were attacked, the Japanese inside the artillery towers could call the Emerald River base for artillery support.
After listening to the report, Hamigua and others broke out in cold sweats on their backs.
Because they had wanted to kill their way to the British base from here before, fortunately they did not act on their own.
Otherwise, if they encountered the artillery bombardment of the Emerald River Base, few of them would survive.
"Boss, how about we go back and bring the 105mm cannon over and blow up the Emerald River!"
Cantaloupe was quick to offer suggestions.
"No, we have people in Emerald River!"
“My dad is still working in there as a worker!”
"My brother is in there too!"
"That's right. Many of us in Zhacheng are digging jade for the Japanese at the Feicui River Base! If we open fire, it will cause innocent casualties! Our brothers will not agree!"...
Before Yuan Shuai could say anything, several officers from the Allied Forces refuted his remarks.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Hami melon was so angry that he gritted his teeth and glared at these people.
"Anyway, you can't blow it up! If my father is killed by your shells, I will never forgive you!"
"That's right, if anyone dares to blow it up, I will never let him go!"
"..."
Hami melon was so angry that he was speechless.
"Stop arguing. Can arguing solve the problem?"
Yuan Shuai's words made everyone quiet down.
He looked at the map and said.
"Hami, they are right. If we blow up the Emerald River, many innocent people will surely be killed. Our allied forces rely on these people. If you blow up their loved ones, who will let you go? By then, we will all die without waiting for the devils to come!"
"From the map, although the first two turrets are within the coverage of the Jade Base 75mm field gun, some of the turrets in front are not within its coverage."
"Then we can take down the artillery tower in front and block their food and ammunition transportation routes!"
Hami melon's eyes suddenly lit up.
After the suggestion was put forward, many Allied officers nodded.
The brothers of the Black Wolf Army did not nod.
Yuan Shuai even directly refuted it.
"Don't forget, the Japanese didn't attack Zhacheng because of its strong fortifications. Once we get outside, there will be no strong fortifications, and we don't have enough people. We don't have as many heavy weapons as the Japanese! The Japanese can even call in distant artillery and aircraft to bomb us!"
"Then the Japanese puppet troops from the Emerald River Base will rush out and cooperate with the Japanese puppet troops from other directions to surround us! We won't be able to escape even if we have wings!"
Hearing this, Hamigu and all the allied officers gasped.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Cooperate from inside and outside. Arrange people to enter Feicui River in the name of able-bodied men. After scouting the specific situation inside, take action from inside. The people outside will bring some weapons and ammunition in when delivering food. Once the fighting starts inside, the people outside will quickly take down these four artillery towers, arrange defenses, and cut off the enemy's support! At the same time, send people to support the Feicui River base..."
Yuan Shuai told everyone his battle plan, and everyone nodded in surprise.
The battalion commander and several company commanders of the allied forces were extremely impressed with Yuan Shuai's method, and they all gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
One of them, Captain Zhong Teng, said excitedly.
"It just so happens that I know a puppet army battalion commander who is my distant cousin. This guy often delivers laborers and food to Feicui River! We can go find him!"
"Okay! I'll go with you!"
Yuan Shuai dare not be careless!
It’s not that he didn’t trust Captain Zhong Teng, but there couldn’t be any accidents in this operation.
If an accident happens, no one who goes in will be able to come out alive.
If the operation fails, the entire city will be captured by the Japanese.
Because he wants to go in too.
The next day, after Yuan Shuai arranged everything, he followed Zhong Teng to a place called Xiu Town.
This place was originally a small town that produced jade, but the jade here had almost been mined out by the Japanese, and many people in the town were sent to Feicui River to work as migrant workers.
There aren't many people left in the town.
The whole town has lost its former prosperity and has become somewhat deserted.
There were also some puppet soldiers in the town who were acting arrogantly and rudely, and they didn't even pay for food and drinks.
"stop!"
Yuan Shuai and Zhong Teng arrived here and had just entered the town when they were stopped by the puppet troops at the checkpoint.
"Sir, I'm your battalion commander's cousin. I have something to ask your battalion commander. Please be flexible!"
Zhong Teng quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to the puppet army squad leader at the checkpoint.
"Oh, the battalion commander's cousin, no problem!"
The puppet army squad leader happily accepted the whole pack of cigarettes, and then led Zhong Teng and Yuan Shuai to the puppet army camp.
Zhong Teng's cousin Bao Liangyu was sitting in the room, hugging two beauties and smoking opium leisurely.
"Report! Someone said he was your cousin! Did he come here specifically to see you?"
"Cousin?! Let him in!"
Bao Liangyu put down his pipe, stretched himself, and walked out of the room.
"Cousin, cousin! Oh my, I finally found you!"
Zhong Teng was standing in the yard. When he saw him come out, he greeted him cheerfully.
"You are……"
Bao Liangyu couldn't remember who the person in front of him was for a moment.
"Fujiko, Zhong Teng!"
"Oh, it's you! Have you made a fortune?"
Bao Liangyu saw that Zhong Teng was dressed quite well, better than his previous impression, and looked at him in confusion.
"Hey, what kind of fortune? Fortunately, I didn't go back to Zhacheng last time, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you! I hope my cousin will accept this little gift!"
Zhong Teng walked up to him cheerfully, took out a small box of opium from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
Zhong Teng told Yuan Shuai that his cousin liked this.
Yuan Shuai immediately arranged for people to go to Zhacheng to get some of this stuff overnight, so that Zhong Teng could use it as a stepping stone.
Sure enough, when Bao Liangyu saw this thing, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He put away the small box of things, patted Zhong Teng's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Look at you, we are all family, why are you still being polite to me? Don't bring anything with you in the future. We are cousins, there is no need to be so polite! But, you kid, you don't need my help with something, do you? If you have something to say, just say it directly, and your cousin will make the decision for you!"
"My cousin is very wise. I have a way to make a fortune. I want to do it with you..."
Zhong Teng leaned over and whispered something in his ear.
"Hey, you're good, okay. That's no problem. But money is hard to come by right now. How about this, 20-80, you take 20 and I take 80!"
Bao Liangyu deliberately made things difficult.
Of course, there is money to send young men to Feicui River.
As an able-bodied man, he could get a reward of thirty yuan from the Japanese.
Zhong Teng said he had more than fifty able-bodied men.
That’s more than 1,500 yuan.
He certainly wouldn't give all the bonus money to his cousin.
Moreover, he will take the lion's share.
