Xu Minhao suddenly realized it, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Have you thought about it?!"

"Yes, I have already thought about it. No matter what, Wuchang cannot fall into the hands of the little devils." Lu Peng said firmly.

"Are you sure?" Xu Minhao looked at Lu Peng again.

"Don't worry, there's an old saying that goes, 'Everything depends on people, and everything depends on God.' Since I chose to participate, I have enough confidence, and we can't stop now." Lu Peng said confidently.

"Okay, then I believe you." Xu Minhao glanced at Lu Peng with admiration and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, as long as I, Xu, live one day, I will never treat my brother badly."

"Easy to say!" Lu Peng secretly rejoiced and continued: "Wuchang is the base camp of the Japanese and is heavily guarded. Now it is night again. I am worried that our troops will encounter strong resistance, so I would like to ask Brigadier Xu to lend me a moment."

"Do you suspect that I will be greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not advance or retreat with you?" Xu Minhao suddenly changed his expression and looked unhappy. After speaking, he waved his hand for Lu Peng to sit down and talk.

"I definitely didn't mean that." Lu Peng quickly clarified.

"Hmph!" Xu Minhao snorted coldly, without pursuing it. He pulled Lu Peng aside and whispered: "If you have something to say, just say it, but I will say the ugly things first. If you ask me to hand over the command, don't blame me for being rude. ."

Lu Peng frowned slightly. He didn't expect Xu Minhao to be so sensitive. He hurriedly explained: "To be honest with you, my plan is like this..."

Half an hour later, the two separated. Xu Minhao hurried back, while Lu Peng stayed behind.

While no one was paying attention, Wang Huzi quietly approached Lu Peng and asked, "Brother Lu, what did you whisper to Brigadier Xu just now?"

"Secret!" Lu Peng deliberately let it slip and said with a smile: "We have a very dangerous job to do. If we succeed, we may have an easier life in the future. If we fail, it will be over completely. Do you want to come with me?"

"Tell me, what's the mission?" Wang Huzi didn't take it seriously, his pride soared into the sky.

"I'm going to Wuchang!" Lu Peng said.

"Ah?! Are you crazy!?"

Wang Huzi was shocked and blurted out, "No, it's too dangerous. If you make a mistake, Lao Cai will tear my skin off!"

"Don't worry, he won't dare to mess around with you bastard here, not to mention that I still have the capital to protect myself. Just tell me, are you going?" Lu Peng asked.

Wang Huzi hesitated for a while, and then sighed: "Well, since you insist on going, then I will go crazy with you once!"

"Happy!" Lu Peng patted Wang Huzi on the shoulder, changed the subject, and warned: "Remember, we went to Wuchang for a reason. Don't leak the news, otherwise I won't be able to save you! In addition, when we arrive at Wuchang City From now on, stay put and look for opportunities to find out the situation in Wuchang City, especially the movements of the Japs. Remember, these things are very important!"

"Don't worry, keep it with me and let's go!" Wang Huzi knew the priority and agreed without hesitation.

The two of them had reached a consensus and were about to leave when Xu Minhao came over and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

"We didn't talk about anything, just a few words." Lu Peng said with a smile.

"Oh, there is nothing good to talk about. I just thought about it. You are right to remind me that the intelligence in Wuchang is very important. We must find out the truth and falsehood of the little devil. When we get to Wuchang, I will go with you in person, but there is an ugly saying ahead. , if the situation develops beyond expectations, we cannot control the situation and must follow the order to retreat!" Xu Minhao said solemnly.

"Okay." Lu Peng agreed without thinking, secretly thinking that Xu Minhao was indeed a famous general and much smarter than Liu Jinbao.

Xu Minhao did not delay and returned to the command post without stopping, telling the commanders of each regiment Lu Peng's plan.

Except for a few who had objections, most people expressed support for Lu Peng's idea.

Because Lu Peng's previous performance had conquered everyone, and everyone wanted to fight the Japanese, the plan was quickly finalized and arrangements began.

Time passed quickly, and night gradually fell. Xu Minhao rushed to the battlefield first, arriving at the position with the remaining troops of three main battalions and five regiments.

Lu Peng was not idle here either. He summoned villagers from nearby villages to organize and prepare to attack Wuchang City at night.

In order to appease the people, Lu Peng distributed some food to each household and promised that once Wuchang City was breached, everyone would be properly arranged and responsible for their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As for weapons and ammunition, Lu Peng was not stingy and allocated 3,000 Mauser rifles and six Czech light machine guns. He also helped everyone replenish bullets and promised to give them priority to arm them once Wuchang was breached.

After the news spread, the villagers cheered and rushed over.

Lu Peng patiently checked everyone one by one. After confirming that everyone's emotions had stabilized, he announced the departure.

Due to Lu Peng's special status, the team finally sent only four people to escort Lu Peng to Wuchang City.

Wuchang City is located about 40 kilometers north of Nanjing City. It covers a vast area. Although it is not as majestic as Pyongyang City, it is still a prosperous historic site. The surrounding defense facilities are complete and the city walls are built to the sky, like a prostrate statue on the ground. of behemoth.

Outside the Wuchang City Gate, the soldiers on guard looked solemn and stared at the city gate with alert eyes. They saw a group of common people carrying hoes, carrying dung buckets, pushing wheelbarrows, and holding sickles. They looked like a scene during the busy farming season. Become suspicious.

The people in the team were already familiar with the situation at the city gate and walked straight towards the city gate without any panic. They seemed to be used to it.

Lu Peng looked at the sentries on the city tower from a distance and found that they were motionless. He guessed that they were confused by the situation in Wuchang City and did not attack rashly. Instead, they chose to ambush on the outside.

The ambush location was chosen behind a crooked neck tree, with the mountain as its back, a wide field of vision, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, Lu Peng and others were dressed in the same way as the local indigenous people, so it was easy to be misled. Even if someone discovered something unusual, they would not be able to attack. Anomalies may be detected.

Everything was ready, Lu Peng waited patiently, and did not forget to call Wang Huzi and Chen Tiezhu over, asking them to hide their figures and notify him in time if they found that the situation was not good.

"Don't worry, Old Chen is here and I guarantee that nothing will go wrong." Wang Huzi assured.

Lu Peng didn't speak, and stared silently at the top of the city wall, his eyes flashing. He suddenly thought of something, took out the radio, and tried to contact Tanpu County.

The results were disheartening. The radio station had been completely destroyed and could not be used at all. It seemed that we had to find a way to restore communication as soon as possible, otherwise we would easily expose ourselves through continuous operations.

"Why, do you miss my wife?" Wang Huzi said with a bad smile, seeing through Lu Peng's thoughts.

"Nothing." Lu Peng didn't defend himself. He thought for a while and asked, "By the way, how many things did you bring this time?"

"Not much, only part of the food." Wang Huzi replied awkwardly, thinking that during this period of eating, drinking and gambling, he not only owed a huge debt, but also lost all his savings, his cheeks were burning.

"That's enough." Lu Peng said without saying more, "We don't have much time, let's start right away."

"Understood." Wang Huzi nodded, said hello, and took the lead in climbing up a protruding stone.

Chen Tiezhu and Wu Yurou followed closely behind. The three of them formed a triangle formation, one on the left and one on the right. They set up machine guns and aimed at the guard tower at the city gate.

Lu Peng held his breath, concentrated his energy, and stared at the sentry tower, waiting for the enemy to appear.

Not long after, there was movement at the city gate.

A team appeared under the guard tower. Seeing a team ambushing outside the city, they suddenly became cautious. They loaded the bolts one by one, held their guns, and stood ready.

"Do it!" Lu Peng roared and pulled the trigger.

Da da……

Wang Huzi and Chen Tiezhu were not hesitant. They responded to Lu Peng's call and shot first.

In an instant, there was loud gunfire at the city gate, and bullets intertwined into a net, covering the Japanese troops on the city wall airtightly.

"boom!"

The Japanese army was caught off guard, screams broke out one after another, and many people fell in a pool of blood.

The people who took advantage of the chaos to charge successfully entered the city gate and quickly suppressed the enemy with the help of fortifications.

Lu Peng wasted no time and rushed in, leaving corpses along the way. He quickly arrived at the city gate, kicked away the corpses blocking the way, and strode to the door. He saw two Japanese soldiers lying on the ground holding guns. He was looking for a bunker, with a sneer on his lips, he picked up a grenade and threw it over.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the two Japanese soldiers' heads exploded, twitched a few times, and lost their vitality.

Lu Peng ignored the two corpses and continued to lead his men to pounce on other Japanese troops.

Since they had not received professional training, the team members seemed a little clumsy, but the advantage was that there were many people. They worked hard and quickly killed the Japanese troops at the gate of the city.

Lu Peng looked around and saw that nothing was missing, so he ordered everyone to rest where they were.

The team members were so tired that they sat down on the ground, some even lay down, panting heavily, gulping down water, wolfing down canned food and meat, completely forgetting about hunger.

Lu Peng ignored them, walked out of the trench, carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and found a small forest near the city tower. He estimated that it was not too far from the city gate, so he walked over to see if he could find the city. Door.

"Don't go there." Wang Huzi followed, with a worried look on his face.

"What's wrong, did you think of something?" Lu Peng frowned slightly, looked back at Wang Huzi, and found that he was sweating profusely. He couldn't help being surprised, and blurted out: "What's wrong, could it be that you were injured in the battle just now?" ?”

"It's okay, it just hurts a little. I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I can't bear it." Wang Huzi waved his hand, signaling Lu Peng to leave him alone.

"In that case, you go and rest for a while." Lu Peng suggested.

"Okay, call me if you need anything." Wang Huzi hesitated, nodded, walked a little further, squatted down and breathed heavily.

Seeing Wang Huzi's tired look, Lu Peng secretly sighed, knowing that Wang Huzi must be in trouble, but he didn't dare to say it. Thinking that he had promised Li Xiuli to take good care of Wang Huzi, he decided to take the initiative to help him share some of the pressure.

Lu Peng did as he thought. He looked around carefully and found a few houses not far away. He walked over and took a look and found that there was nothing inside except a closed wooden door.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Peng opened the door and walked in, then froze.

The house was very small, and apart from the bed and wardrobe, there was only a pile of debris. A putrid smell wafted over, making anyone feel nauseous.

"Damn, it's actually a doghouse!" Wang Huzi cursed and rushed over. He saw Lu Peng standing in front of a broken box with a confused look on his face and asked suspiciously: "Captain, what are you doing?"

"Nothing." Lu Peng shook his head and retreated, thoughtfully. He always felt that this house was weird, as if it had been abandoned for a long time and no one had cleaned it. After thinking about it, he changed the subject and asked, "Why not?" See Chen Tiezhu, are they not here?"

"Here he comes, I saw him just now." Wang Huzi replied.

"What about others?" Lu Peng was surprised.

Wang Huzhi pointed to the depths of the house and said, "It's right next door. I asked him to take charge of the security there."

Lu Peng was relieved, didn't think much, and continued to search other places.

Although the Japanese troops at the city gate were not severely damaged, they suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the strong counterattack by Wang Huzi and his three men, they easily captured the city gate, and the news quickly spread to the command post.

"Baga, what's going on? Why did the accident happen?"

"Your Excellency, the commander of the brigade, according to reports from the people in the city, the enemy had a premeditated plan. It was not just a sneak attack, but also accurately grasped the layout of our troops. He also caught us off guard when we were unprepared. In just ten minutes, In just a few minutes, our guard troops suffered heavy casualties, requesting reinforcements!" the chief of staff hurried over and reported with a sad and indignant look.

"Damn it, find out immediately who is causing the trouble."

Yoshio Inoue was furious.

"Hi!" The chief of staff respectfully accepted the order and left.

"Bageya Road, how could these Chinese pigs know our plan in advance? There must be a spy who leaked the secret." A Japanese major couldn't help but said.

"No, it's not a spy, it's a spy who was put in by that person in advance." Yoshio Inoue had a gloomy face, suddenly realized something, and turned to look at the chief of staff.

The chief of staff was shocked and stopped in a hurry. A flash of fear flashed in his eyes and he lowered his head.

Yoshio Inoue snorted coldly and said sternly: "Baga!"

"Hai!"

The chief of staff was startled and responded bravely.

"Asshole!" Yoshio Inoue was so angry that he glared at the chief of staff and roared: "Why did I feed you? You failed even such a simple task. What should you do now? Why don't you ask me to teach you?" ?!"

"Hey Yi! I'll do my humble job now."

The chief of staff lowered his head and took the order again.

"Idiot!" Seeing the chief of staff leave, Yoshio Inoue became even more angry. He glared at a Japanese major general next to him and said viciously: "Idiots, they are all idiots!"

"Hai!" Everyone bent down in unison, too frightened to express their anger.

After a few curses, Yoshio Inoue calmed down and gave instructions.
