The guerrillas crossed the Liaohe River the next day and arrived outside Niuxintuo Town. The shopkeeper of the old Zhangjia Oil Floor who had received the news yesterday had already arranged everything. The troops replaced a batch of guns here, and the bullets were sufficient. Except for the small number of grenades, the other supplies were abundant. The wounded were also left to recuperate as before, and were taken care of by several young nurses. Considering Zhang Huanrong's safety, Qi Qingyuan ordered him to stay here and asked him to watch the excess horses and guns. In addition, he was afraid of being unsafe, and left a few minor wounded people. Zhang Huanrong knew that Qi Qingyuan was going to do it later.

What's the matter, although the Russians seemed more evil than the Japanese, the old Zhang family had an industry in Lushun when the Beiyang Navy was in Lushun. After the Japanese occupied Lushun in the 18894-1895, the old Zhang family was not spared. Zhang Huanrong was no longer as angry as the Japanese little nose, so she wanted to make trouble. After begging Qi Qingyuan's military law several times, she tied him up. The shopkeeper of the oil mill was the old man of the old Zhang family. No matter how he didn't consider the safety of the eldest young master, he immediately locked his young master in the house, and two loyal friends were placed at the door to watch.

The guerrillas left Niuxintuo Town in the afternoon and walked south. There was a newly recruited local beard leading the way. The journey was very smooth. Although the Japanese army stationed heavily in Haicheng and were on high alert, how could they not be able to prevent the local beard from taking advantage of loopholes? In addition, it was already August, and the corn and sorghum in the field was taller than people. More than 100 people led the horse into it, and it was even a god. Why do you have more beards in the northeast? This green gauze tent is also a big help.

, If there is this thing, there is no problem at all. Walking on the path and wearing a green gauze tent, a few days later, the guerrillas will arrive in the reed marsh along the coast of Gaiping, according to the previous contact. In the second half of this day, the supply ship will reach the nearby sea surface. At that moment, Qi Qingyuan arranged a large army to wait in the mountains in the east, and he took a line to bury it at a preset location. At the time of the scheduled time, he sent a fire signal on the high mountain to provide guidance to the supply ship.

The supply ship arranged by Wang Jitong is actually the cargo ship of Tonghua Shipping Company. This company appeared in the name of an American company, and the Japanese dared not stop the American flag from entering the Bohai Bay. The captain was from Ningbo, named Yu Sanbao. He used to run ships for foreigners, but this time he dug it up through his fellow countrymen. He didn't understand why the owner ran to Tianjin without loading any goods. After entering the Bohai Bay, he did not allow him to enter the port, but he had to go to Niuzhuang. However, he was also an old man. When he was driving a ship for foreigners, he had done a lot of opium smuggling in order to avoid tariffs, and he had no objection to his fellow villagers. He followed the order and went to the destination.

In addition to him, he was also in the command room. When the agreed time came, they looked for something through the night with their telescopes. Soon, at the agreed time, a few ignitions appeared and a student went out. The signal also lit up on the boat.

After more than half an hour of short barge, the things on the ship were quickly transferred to the shore. Since I got the things, the seaside was not easy to wait. The Japanese patrol boats paid great attention to the coastline, and the section from the coast to the Dongqing Railway was full of mudflats. Although there were reeds, the space for circulating was too small. Once the Japanese were staring at them, they would not be able to take it away. Especially now, the guerrillas have Russian marks from top to bottom, which is even more flirting than the Huafang Team. Qi Qingyuan did not see what was moving off the boat. He hurriedly changed the place and quietly crossed the Dongqing Railway before dawn to return to the camp in the mountains.

In the early morning, I opened the boxes and removed the layers of waterproof packaging. I saw that there were small pieces of yellow explosives neatly in the box. The explosives were packed very carefully. There were about 200 pieces of them. These were handmade by Xu Huafeng and his students in the laboratory. They were originally prepared to transport them to Liaodong after the Yalu River was unobstructed, but in order to support the guerrilla raid plan, they first supplied some directly. Lu Mengxiong and others were surprised to see so many explosives. This thing was played with in the military academy. It was far from comparable to grenades with pressing column black gunpowder. But the difficulty was that this thing had to be detonated. Fortunately, the Shanghai side was well prepared, and the fuse was also ready, and there was a box of fuses. With these explosives in their hands, the success rate of the raid plan would be greatly improved, and the Japanese would be in trouble.

Since the materials are all available, it depends on the opportunity. According to the intelligence, Japan's offensive in the entire Liaodong can be divided into four parts. Among them, the third army of Nogi Kidun, who attacked Lushun Port, can be put aside first, and the attack on Liaoyang can be divided into three left, center and right routes. In addition to the Yalu River First Army with Kuroki on the right, and the 10th Division of Kawamura Kyomei on the middle route, the second army of Obogong on the left is the most powerful, with more than 50,000 people in the entire army and more than 250 artillery pieces. The more people the logistical support, the greater the support.

However, due to the failure of the Japanese Navy's blockage port in the early stage, the Second Army's military station was not hurriedly established until early June. At that time, because Gaiping, Dashiqiao, Haicheng and other places were not taken down, the military station was built in Xiongyuecheng, an important town south of Gaiping. This place was originally a small station on the Dongqing District Railway, which was only five kilometers away from the sea to the west. The most important thing is that there is a Xiongyue River entering the sea to the south. Many materials can be easily transported to the railway station through a short barge by boat.

Because the Dongqing Railway uses 1520mm Russian rails, Japan cannot use the Dongqing Railway by calling domestic train cars. Fortunately, the Russian army left more than 350 car wands near Dalian, which can basically meet the supply needs of the Second Army to go north. Xiongyuecheng is the general station of the Second Army, and is on high alert, but since the Japanese army entered the north and occupied Haicheng and the Russian army to hold the line on the Anshan line of Haicheng and established a new military station in Yingkou, this is the rear. According to common sense, at the end of last month, the materials of the Second Army were in the Second Army.

You can go north and transport it to Niuzhuang Port, which is much closer to Xiongyue City, and it is more convenient to supply. However, the Japanese army is very afraid of the arrival of the Russian Baltic fleet and is afraid that if they fail, the Liaodong army may completely cut off logistics. Therefore, during the conservative period, the Japanese army continued to transport various combat materials to various ports in the northeast to prevent changes in the situation. Xiongyue City Military Station, as the central point of the Japanese Second Army and the Third Army, was very valuable to store materials, so it was still busy here day and night. The materials were piled up like mountains.

In the woods east of the Dongqing Railway, Qi Qingyuan was covered in leaves and lay on the ground. He used this telescope covered with gauze to observe Xiongyue City military station. Because this place is not a county town, the intelligence network of the Fuxing Society has not set up a site here. Although the intelligence officer of Gaiping had already brought a wireless telegram into the city in the name of Lao Zhang, it is still difficult to send any key messages in a short time. So Qi Qingyuan had to go into battle himself and touched about three kilometers away from the railway to observe the terrain himself. Qi Qingyuan had only been observing for more than half an hour. Li Erhu, the reconnaissance platoon next to him, was extremely anxious. This was not in the old forest in Tonghua. The Japanese set up a lookout post on the tower of Wanger Mountain in the east of the city. Although the tower above was only more than 100 meters, the tower above was not high, but the entire Xiongyue City was a plain within three kilometers. It was still very deterrent to control such an area with such a high point.

In the telescope, Qi Qingyuan saw that the military station was located on the north bank of Xiongyue River near the railway, covering a vast area. On the wharf, the military station were filled with civilians. There were piles of various cargoes covered with oil cloth, and roughly estimated that there were more than 100,000 tons of supplies stored here. As for the defense, Qi Qingyuan, far away, only saw many Japanese infantry in yellow uniforms on guard at the military station, and there were a large number. In addition, Japanese flags could be seen west of Xiongyue City. There was probably a Japanese military camp there. While watching, Qi Qingyuan completed this reconnaissance in Li Erhu's muttering, and a group of people quietly sneaked back to the previous temporary camp. In the evening, Lu Mengxiong and others who were in the short shirt to find out the news came back. He entered the city with Qian Sanwa, the bearded man who had joined the gang.

In the camp, Qi Qingyuan combined all the information collected from various places. First of all, the Japanese defensive forces. Because Haicheng, Damuqiao and other places have been occupied by the Japanese, Xiongyue City's defense power has been greatly reduced. There are only three squadrons of infantry garrisons. Although they are guard troops, the soldiers are also very capable. Because from Xiongyue City to the north and all the way to Gaiping, the entire section of Dongqing Railway is a key defensive point, so there are two to three squadrons of cavalry on this section of railway.

Online patrol. As for when the patrol will arrive in Xiongyue City, I don’t know at all. The second is the situation inside the military station. The military station is more than four miles in a radius and is set up around Xiongyue City Station. The outermost is a large warehouse for storing grain and other materials, and the inside is a small warehouse for storing ammunition. The small warehouse is on the west side of the railway line. The guard is very strict, and there is about a squadron of Japanese troops stationed inside. Usually, civil servants come in and out and take care of them very strictly, and there is basically no possibility of getting in.

Lu Mengxiong introduced the information he came to the city on the simple sand table. A small part of this information was found by himself, and most of it was obtained through the local Zhangjia Grain Store and the staff. Qi Qingyuan looked at the information marked on the sand table and the situation he saw during the day. He felt that the station seemed to be a turtle shell and was very difficult to deal with. Moreover, his troops were only 180. Not to mention the patrolling cavalry squadrons, even if they faced the infantry squadrons in the military station, they were completely unsure that they could break through their defensive attacks and enter the innermost part of the military station.

What should I do? Qi Qingyuan looked at the platoon leaders, and Xie Cheng, the third platoon leader, said: "Can you pull out the east and attack the west? If you can use cavalry to raid in?"

Lu Mengxiong recalled the situation he saw in Xiongyue City before, shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. The Japanese squadron inside would probably not attack, and one Japanese squadron is equivalent to a company. We will have to divide the east and west into two routes. If there are too few Japanese troops coming out, we will not be able to enter. There is another situation. According to the gang at the Zhangjialiang Station, the Japanese army is in one troubling at one troubling at the military station, and there are still many troubling at the internal roads. I guess it's still difficult for the cavalry to force the military station to break in."

After hearing what Lu Mengxiong said, everyone was very upset. There were still too few soldiers on their side. Qi Qingyuan was about to speak, but the fourth platoon leader Chen Ximin spoke. He pointed to Xiong Yuecheng Station surrounded by the military station and said, "We suddenly couldn't get in from outside the military station. Can we intersect along the railway line?"

As soon as this said, everyone became active. Qi Qingyuan smiled and looked at Chen Ximin waiting for his text. Chen Ximin said: "Now the Japanese army is preparing for the Battle of Liaoyang. The railway line from Xiongyue City to Dashiqiao and the front-line Haicheng are running at full capacity. The third Japanese army uses Dalian Port as the logistics base to attack Lushun. In other words, Xiongyue City does not have a train to Dalian south. If we intercept a truck on the railway line of Gaiping and Xiongyue City, then the truck will definitely drive into Xiongyue City Station instead of passing by."

Chen Ximin said this, the entire offensive idea was clear. The guerrilla team of 186 people will be divided into two, one is a suicide commando. Under the blocking of comrades, the train stopped midway, then quietly touched the train, entered the station and waited for the opportunity to attack; the other team waited for the commando to feint the attack at night to attract the attention of all the Japanese troops stationed in the evening and create opportunities for the internal commando. As long as the feint firepower is fierce, the entire Japanese army will only be on guard against the periphery, so that the commando can do whatever they want in the innermost warehouse of the military station. Internal squad will be the focus of this raid. Chen Ximin and Lu Mengxiong looked at each other, as if they were going to light up Mars. "I'll go...", "Go in a row..." They said almost at the same time, Fang Yanchen and Xie Chengze took a step back.

Qi Qingyuan didn't laugh, but just glanced at them and gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.

"...In addition to occupying the countryside and towns that the Qing Dynasty and foreigners do not pay attention to, our mission in the Northeast is to try every means to make Japan and Russia lose both sides and to make them consume national strength to the greatest extent. The greater the consumption they consume, the more stable we will stand in the Northeast in the future; the more people they die, the fewer people will attack us in the future..." Yang Rui's speech at the platoon-level and above cadre meeting in June is now clearly echoing in Qi Qingyuan's mind. A very straightforward sentence, but it is difficult to implement it. This is for the life of his brothers.
