Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

The fisherman's words reminded Li Yan

Shanghang has a well-developed water system and a prosperous shipping industry.

There is a folk saying: "There are 3,000 boats on the upper river and 800 on the lower river", which means that the area above Shanghang County is the upper river with thousands of boats, while the area below the county is the lower river with hundreds of boats.

The Nationalist army wanted to control the security of the entrances and exits of the 40-kilometer-long Ting River and its tributaries.

Then we must build enough water forts

But the national army only has one brigade of soldiers, if it only controls imports and exports,

Then the military force in Shanghang County must be empty

If we attack from the inside out, casualties will be greatly reduced.

Fortresses are often breached from within

Wait until the weapons and ammunition arrive safely at night

The third and fourth regiments also arrived at Banjing Township

Li Yan gathered all the soldiers who were good at swimming together, a total of more than 600 people

Because this attack is a sneak attack, the number of personnel cannot be too large

Li Yan also asked Leopard, Taoist priest, Guo Dali, fisherman, and little beggar to play together.

According to the method of selecting members of the Dragon Blood Special Forces

Select the right people from these 600 people

A total of 300 people were selected

Among these 300 people, more than half of them were soldiers from the newly incorporated 45th Division.

According to Leopard and his men, these 45th Division members came from Jiaodong, where it is close to the sea and has more people who are good at swimming.

In addition, Shandong people are generally tall and have good physical fitness.

Meet the selection criteria of the Dragon Blood Special Forces Brigade

There are two people that Li Yan is familiar with. One is the tiger head who said that Li Yan looked down on them, and the other is the older soldier who pulled the tiger head.

Since Li Yan had come up with a solution, he did not rush

The newly selected soldiers have not received special warfare training and their cooperation is not smooth.

If you act rashly and lack coordination, it will cause unnecessary losses

Li Yan gave Leopard two days

Strengthen special water training

By the way, after eliminating some people, there are still more people.

At the same time, it is difficult to find merchant ships entering and leaving Shanghang.

Every place has its own rules.

The captain of a local merchant ship usually has a fixed number of workers

As for the merchant ships from other places entering Shanghang

If you want to hire workers, you can hire them from the docks.

It takes more than one or two days for fishermen to find a suitable boat to enter and exit Shanghang.

Finally, two days later, everything was ready.

Only 120 out of 300 people met the standards

According to their abilities, they were divided into 5 teams of the Dragon Blood Special Operations Brigade. Except Dai Ping, they were not present.

Finally, the total number of personnel for this operation was confirmed to be 227.

Li Yan made other arrangements for the 180 people who did not meet the standards.

Fortunately, the fisherman found 20 merchant ships that needed a lot of porters.

These twenty ships came to Shanghang specifically to purchase copper ore.

Then go south along the river

Exit from Fengshi Town, Yongding County and enter Guangdong

The fisherman also spent a lot of money to bribe the manager of a dock.

If it weren't for the New Year, there would be a shortage of manpower.

The manager didn't dare to let strangers do the porter work.

The fisherman based on his previous experience in Jiulong River

After sealing everyone's weapons and equipment in advance

When the merchant ship is not paying attention, place it on the bottom of the ship

Even the national army can't find it.

Whether or not Shanghang can be taken this time is of great importance.

Li Yan decided to lead the team personally this time

Before leaving, Li Yan specifically instructed

Chief of Staff Lu Zhiguo is in charge of the operations in Jiuxian Town.

Zhang Dong is in charge of the operation in Banjing Township

The 227 people in this operation boarded these 20 ships in batches and groups.

These merchant ships are all very large, with huge chimneys still emitting black smoke.

On each merchant ship, there are many guards wearing black clothes.

Bulging in the waist

Every person who boards the vehicle must be searched.

When it was Li Yan's turn

The guard leader standing nearby chatting with the dock manager

Suddenly, he walked up to Li Yan cautiously and asked, "Where are you from?"

Li Yan didn't dare to speak, because he had a Hunan accent

If you speak, you'll definitely get into trouble.

The fisherman came over quickly, smiling.

He said in authentic Shanghang dialect: "This uncle"

"This person is on a ship for the first time and has never seen the world."

"If there is anything I did wrong, please help me."

The steward next to him was the one who benefited from the fisherman.

At this time, he quickly said to the head of the guard: "These people have been verified."

“No problem”

The head guard ignored the dock manager

Said to the guard beside him: "Check carefully"

The guards checked very carefully

Even the shoes were taken off by Li Yan and others to be looked at.

At the end of the inspection, the guard nodded to the head guard.

The head of the guards looked at Li Yan again

This allowed Li Yan to board the ship

During this process

Li Yan always felt that the head of the guards was staring at him

This feeling did not disappear until Li Yan entered the cabin.

He whispered to the fisherman behind him: "These black-clad men on the boat are not ordinary."

“I’ll check it out when I get a chance.”

The fisherman nodded

Pretending nothing happened, he separated from Li Yan.

Walking towards the crowd inside the cabin

At this time, many people were already sitting on the floor inside the cabin.

There is also a smell of sweat mixed with the smell of copper

Li Yan doesn't mind either

I found a seat near the exit and sat down.

After a while, when the cabin was full of people, a whistle sounded.

Merchant ship slowly starts

After sailing for an hour, the merchant ship finally stopped.

A man in black opened the cabin deck

He shouted loudly into the cabin: "We're here!"

"Come out quickly!"

"If you don't finish your work today, don't even think about eating"

Li Yan and several fishermen followed the crowd out of the cabin

The sun is very bright outside

It makes people feel like they are in another world

Before Li Yan could adapt

A big hand grabbed Li Yan from behind.

Li Yan was about to resist, but turned his head

Looking at a black guard behind him pointing a gun at himself

Li Yan didn't want to reveal

The body relaxes immediately

At the same time, he made a gesture to the fishermen not to act rashly.

Then he asked the guard with a smile: "Big brother..."

"Did I do something wrong?"

The black-clad guard was also shocked.

This person moves so fast.

My sudden attack was actually dodged by someone.

At the same time, the murderous aura that flashed by made him feel terrified.

But now the humble smile of the person in front of me

It makes me feel like it's my own illusion

The black guard frowned and said coldly: "Come with me."

"Our boss is calling you"

Li Yan readily accepts advice

Follow the black guard to the bow

A man was standing there, looking at the river.

The black guard said: "Boss, the person is here."

The man at the bow turned around

It was the guard leader that Li Yan met when he boarded the ship.

The head guard stared into Li Yan's eyes

He said word by word: "I know you are not an ordinary person"

“But get on my boat.”

“You Must Follow My Rules”

Li Yan suddenly felt a dangerous aura

My muscles can't help but tremble

I quickly adjusted my breathing

This is a master

A gleam of light flashed in Li Yan's eyes

He said with a smile: "This big brother"

“I am just a poor person.”

“I got on the boat just to find something to eat.”

The guard leader waved his hand and asked Li Yan to leave

Then he said to the black guard who brought Li Yan here

Reminded: "As long as they don't cause trouble"

“Don’t mess with these people”
