I rise from the sword

Chapter 17

"A few bosses please!"

The tea shop owner warmly welcomed the puppet soldiers into the shop, with smiling faces, handing cigarettes and tea, for fear of neglecting them.

After the few people left, Yang Lin also walked in with Niu Bold and sat on the table next to him.

Several puppet soldiers first chatted with the girl in Qiuyue's arms, and then began to complain angrily.

"Damn it, the officials here spend their days drinking and drinking, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food, and letting us do all the dirty work.

After finally going to Qiuyue to relax, I still have to pay on credit. "

"That's right, those bastards withheld our military pay and used it to raise mistresses."

"Hey, counting the time, there must be three months without military pay, when will this day be the head!"

"Okay, brothers, don't complain, drink some tea to calm down, muddle through, let's just count the days, no matter what, it's better than those refugees."

……

Yang Lin heard the conversations of these puppet soldiers clearly. From the information that these puppet soldiers inadvertently revealed, he can basically infer that the puppet battalion commander is a dead man.

It is said that a raging soldier will make a raging nest.

Even if it was originally an elite army, under the leadership of such an officer, it would definitely become a mob.

The officer deducted the military salary and used it to keep his concubine. When the battle broke out, would the soldiers go all out?
"Ouch! I'm so sleepy, I have to go back and rest."

The group of puppet soldiers chatted for about 10 minutes, then shook the tea bowl with a "snap" and walked away.

"Store, bookkeeping!"

"Go slow, boss!"

After several imperial association troops walked away, the owner of the tea shop immediately put away the smile on his face and cursed in a low voice.

"Seller, check out!"

The tea shop owner's expression changed 180 degrees again, and he smiled and walked towards Yang Lin.

Yang Lin took out 5 Yuanyang from his pocket and handed it to the owner of the tea shop.

"Oh, boss, two bowls of rough tea don't cost so much, two copper coins are enough."

The four honest people who owned the tea shop wanted to return the money.

Yang Lin is not pretending to be rich, and there is a purpose for giving money to the tea shop owner.

He waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, don't be nervous, I just want to ask you something."

"Okay, boss, tell me!"

The shops on the side of the road were always well-informed, and when he saw Dayang Na, he readily agreed.

Yang Lin lied that he was a foreigner, and asked the other party about some puppet cavalry battalion commanders on the grounds of doing business.

The owner of the tea shop didn't think much about it, so he told all the information he said he knew, and of course, about his concubine.

The cavalry battalion commander of the puppet army was named Yuan Liang, nicknamed Yuan Datou.

After getting the information he wanted, Yang Lin didn't just stay, but left the tea shop with Niu Bold.

It was still early, and they first scouted around the city, knowing the deployment of the puppet army and the terrain in the city.

Then I went to Qinghe Town, 7 or 8 miles north of the city.

Although Qinghe Town is not big, it is much more heavily guarded than Wanjia Town.

There are not only puppet soldiers but also devils standing guard on duty, and pedestrians will be strictly interrogated and even searched.

Yang Lin did not enter the town, but took Niu Bold and climbed to a nearby hill.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Qinghe Town Railway Station.

Yang Jing observed with a telescope for a few minutes, and finally understood the significance of the existence of this train station.

This is actually a transit station, and you will enter a steep mountainous area further along the railway.

Sometimes, the train will not be able to climb up the slope due to overload and overweight. At this time, it is necessary to temporarily unload the cargo.

Therefore, the little devil built a train station here, and also built a strategic warehouse.

Putting down the binoculars, Yang Lin lit a cigarette and thought carefully about the strategy to defeat the enemy. It was not difficult to deal with the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town, but it was difficult to deal with the devils and puppet troops in Qinghe Town.

A reinforced squadron, more than 200 devils, plus a battalion of puppet troops, the total strength is nearly 600 people.

The strength of the independent brigade alone is obviously not enough, even if the three Italian guns are moved out of the system warehouse, it is useless.

Help must be found!

It is undoubtedly a good choice to report the news to Chu Yunfei.

But the problem is that in this way, Yang Lin's spoils are very limited.

Moreover, Chu Yunfei is a principled person, even if the report is reported to him, he will not rush to send troops without instructions from his superiors.

Li Yunlong, this is even more hopeless, this girl is still in the quilt factory.

We can't let him bring a group of women from the quilt factory to join the battle with scissors.

Suddenly, Yang Lin thought of Ding Wei, who just became firm yesterday.

It's him!

Yang Lin slammed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and ordered Niu boldly to the side: "Second platoon leader, you should return to the station immediately and tell 2st platoon leader hemp stick.

In other words, I ordered him, no matter what method he uses, he must find the whereabouts of the Xinyi regiment of the Eighth Route Army within two days! "

"Yes!"

Niu boldly agreed, then asked again: "Captain, what about you?"

Yang Lin said: "I still need to find out something useful!"

Immediately, the two soldiers split into two groups.

Niu boldly rode his horse back to Luotuoling, while Yang Lin returned to Wanjia Town before the city gate was closed.

……

In the evening, Yang Lin went to the alley where Yuan Datou's concubine was located and hid.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Yang Lin didn't wait for Yuan Datou, but waited for a guy who was probing his head.

Like a thief, this man looked left and right, and after confirming that it was safe, he immediately knocked on the door.

After a while, the courtyard door opened, and this guy slipped in like a loach.

"Not Yuan Datou?"

Seeing the closed courtyard door again, Yang Lin was slightly taken aback.

The reason why he was sure that the other party was not Yuan Datou was because he learned from the owner of the tea shop that Yuan Datou looked like a pig with a fat head and big ears.

But this person is quite slim, of course, compared to Yuan Datou.
