When Lu Yuan woke up, it was noon the next day, and there was a tempting aroma wafting in the small courtyard of Huzi's house, and the sleepy-eyed Lu Yuan pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, and found that there were already several people sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard. Xiao Haishan, Xu Heizi, and the injured Xiao Changshui were all in the courtyard, but they weren't chatting at the moment, and all their attention was on the heavy sniper rifle that Huzi was fiddling with.

Huzi couldn't put down this heavy sniper rifle, and at the moment he was holding a rag head, proudly wiping the heavy sniper rifle in front of Xiao Haishan and others. Huzi cherished this heavy sniper rifle very much, and didn't let Xiao Haishan touch it at all, if it weren't for the two chickens stewed in the kitchen cauldron that Xiao Haishan brought them, maybe Huzi wouldn't have taken out this heavy sniper rifle for them to watch at close range.

Lu Yuan pushed the door out, and when he saw that Xiao Haishan and their attention were all on the heavy sniper rifle on the stone table, he couldn't help coughing lightly. Xiao Changshui, who was wrapped in gauze on the wound, turned his head first, and saw Lu Yuan standing at the door of the house stretching, so he immediately stood up from the stone bench. Xiao Changshui was injured and rounded up by the Japanese army, but Lu Yuan rescued him, and Lu Yuan also sent a sniper rifle to Xiao Changshui, and Xiao Changshui, who was honest by nature, was very grateful to Lu Yuan.

"Mr. Lu, you're awake." Xiao Changshui opened his mouth and smiled at Lu Yuan, Xiao Haishan and Xu Heizi, who were sitting next to him, reacted, and the two of them also got up and stood up, and only Huzi was left at the stone table to wipe his heavy sniper rifle. Lu Yuan smiled and nodded at Xiao Changshui and the others, and after a simple wash, at the invitation of Xiao Haishan, Lu Yuan took the bench handed by Xu Heizi and sat down next to Huzi.

Lu Yuan had just sat down, and Huzi got up and ran into the stove room to bring out a sand pot, and when the sand pot was served, Lu Yuan smelled a strong fragrance. Knowing that Xiao Haishan and they had already eaten, and all the chicken in this sand pot was reserved for himself, Lu Yuan, who had already moved his index finger, finally couldn't bear it, and performed what is called gobbling up and wind. A can of chicken soup was in his stomach, Lu Yuan's face was filled with a strong sense of satisfaction, and the hard work and fatigue of the past few days finally disappeared.

Xiao Haishan and Xu Heizi were silent, waiting for Lu Yuan to take out a cigarette and light it, Xiao Haishan smiled at Lu Yuan at Xu Heizi's signal. "Mr. Lu, our people have gone to reconnoiter the valley overnight last night, and it turned out that although the Japanese puppet army on the other side of the valley has not retreated, their morale is very low. Platoon Commander Xu has already sent people to ask for support from above, and we want to hit the strength and fight the Japanese puppet army on the bank of the valley again. ”

Xiao Haishan's tone was obviously inquiring, Lu Yuan paused slightly, swept Xu Heizi's black face with the corner of his eye, and then spoke. "Captain Xiao, according to what I saw yesterday when I fought with the Japanese army at close range, the number of this Japanese puppet army is at least about 500 people, although some of them were killed by me and Huzi, their remaining strength should be about 400 people. If you want to fight them head-on, you'll have to gather more than 500 men, and maybe more. ”

Lu Yuan didn't finish his words all at once, but suddenly stopped, and after Xiao Haishan and Xu Heizi couldn't help but glance at each other, Lu Yuan continued. "I don't know how many troops you'll be able to muster in the end, but I want to warn you that this Japanese puppet army is not easy to deal with. But you don't have no chance of winning, yesterday before I withdrew, I found an opportunity to sneak attack their baggage team, their Type 92 infantry guns were robbed by me, and they should be easier to deal with without long-range firepower. ”

"Type 92 infantry artillery?" Xu Heizi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Lu Yuan with a face full of surprise, "Are you sure it's a little devil's Type 92 infantry gun?" Xu Heizi's surprise was not beyond Lu Yuan's expectations, the Eighth Route Army at this stage is still in a situation of lack of guns and ammunition, not to mention the Type 92 infantry gun, even if a light machine gun of the Japanese army is captured in the battle, it will be regarded as a treasure by the Eighth Route Army troops.

Lu Yuan smiled and stretched out two fingers at Xu Heizi, "That's right, it's the Japanese army's Type 92 infantry artillery, after the Japanese army attacked the valley, they concentrated the infantry guns and shells." When I attacked their baggage team, I found that there was a truck that could be used, so I hung the infantry gun on the back of the truck and towed it away. There are two Type 92 infantry guns, and I haven't counted the shells, but it seems that there can be at least forty or fifty rounds. ”

Lu Yuan's words ordered Xu Heizi's mouth to open wider and wider, and in his heart, he even called God bless, those are two infantry guns, looking at the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, it seems that no army can control two Type 92 infantry guns at once. Xu Heizi's heart seemed to be scratched by dozens of cat paws, he wanted to know immediately where the two Type 92 infantry guns were hidden by Lu Yuan, but he was afraid that if he asked too directly, it would attract Lu Yuan's dissatisfaction and disgust, after all, Lu Yuan was not a member of the Eighth Route Army.

The tangled expression on Xu Heizi's face was clearly seen by Lu Yuan, knowing that the other party was in a complicated entanglement, but Lu Yuan turned his head and said to Xiao Haishan, who also looked surprised. "Captain Xiao, I just said that the Japanese puppet army is not easy to deal with, and I didn't mean to pour cold water on you. On the contrary, I also think that we should seek help and gather forces to continue fighting them. The Japanese army took a fancy to that valley because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was hidden and dangerous, and if the Japanese army gained a firm foothold in that valley, I think you would definitely suffer in the end. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan used the cigarette butt in his hand to draw a sketch on the stone table. "Come and see, this is the valley camp, this is Xiaojia Village, and the two places are actually not very far apart. Once the Japanese army takes control of that valley, they will definitely search the surroundings, do you think Xiaojia Village can escape the Japanese puppet army's dragnet search? And if you can't? What should you do? Will you evacuate with the guerrillas and villagers, or will you take your team members to fight the Japanese puppet army to the death? ”

Lu Yuan's series of hypothetical questions made Xiao Haishan sweat like rain in an instant, and even Xu Heizi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help frowning. "Therefore, that valley must not be occupied by the Japanese army." Lu Yuan slammed his index finger on the stone table twice. "We have all been to that valley, we should be familiar with the situation there, if you occupy that valley, not only can it be used as a secret base for you after a little transformation, but also can be used as a bait to attract a steady stream of Japanese puppet troops to fight here."

Before Xiao Haishan turned the corner, Xu Heizi already understood the meaning of Lu Yuan's words, and couldn't help but say to Lu Yuan, "You mean to say that you want us to treat that valley as a position, and then use battle to train and strengthen us while continuously killing and injuring the Japanese puppet army?" Xu Heizi's reaction was a little unexpected by Lu Yuan, he didn't expect that this stupid-looking guy was actually a quick-witted person.

Lu Yuan immediately nodded at Xu Heizi and smiled, "That's right, that's what I mean, since you have already asked your superiors for help, why can't you use veterans to drive new recruits and use this place as a training ground completely?" After these few days of fighting, you should not be short of weapons and ammunition, as long as you have enough troops, I personally think you should be able to hold that valley, don't forget, I still have two Type 92 infantry guns hidden in the forest. ”

Lu Yuan's words made Xu Heizi can't help but rub his hands, Lu Yuan's words just now have been made very clear, those two Type 92 infantry guns are almost his own. "Captain Xiao, you immediately send someone to the hill on the left side of the village, that is, to cross the mountain behind the river. When I came back yesterday, I hid some weapons and ammunition on that hill, and you'd better send someone to get them back, I think you'll be able to use them. ”

Xiao Haishan and Xu Heizi, who were overjoyed, immediately split up, one sent someone to report the situation to his superiors again, and the other sent someone to look for weapons and ammunition according to the marks left by Lu Yuan. Before dinner, Xiaojia Village was once again overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle, and the team members sent by Xiao Haishan returned to the village with more than a dozen 38 rifles and two grenadiers. Xiaojia Village was full of laughter and excitement, but Lu Yuan was idle, except for teaching Xiao Changshui and Huzi some things about sniper combat, that is, waiting for the team members who reconnoitred the valley to return to the village.

It was not until breakfast the next day, when several guerrillas, who had left the village for a day and a night, dragged their tired bodies back to the village. Xiao Haishan and Xu Heizi, who got the news, came to Lu Yuan as soon as possible, "Mr. Lu, the Japanese puppet army on the other side of the valley has not retreated, and my people found that there seem to be other Japanese puppet troops appearing, and they have also captured a lot of local people, so they should continue to build the valley according to their plan." ”

The intelligence detected by Xiao Haishan's subordinates did not surprise Lu Yuan, the Japanese army could choose such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place to build an airfield, and they had invested so much manpower and material resources in the early stage, they would definitely not give up easily. What's more, the losses caused to them by himself and the Xiaojia Village guerrillas are not very large, maybe those Japanese puppet troops are formulating a plan to clean up at the moment, but they don't know it.

At this moment, Lu Yuan didn't know that his sudden guess was almost about to come true, and at the same time that Xiao Haishan and Xu Heizi came to him, the Japanese puppet army on the other side of the valley was brewing a clean-up operation. In the face of casualties and losses, the Japanese puppet army that recaptured the valley was extremely angry, and at the instigation of local plainclothes agents, they pointed the finger at Xiaojia Village and several surrounding villages.
