Chapter 133: Southwestern Fujian Melee 27
Half an hour until twelve o'clock in the evening
Colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky across from Shanghang City
Li Yan looked at it and said, "New Year is coming."
He took Guo Dali and Tong Liang back to Shangyun Inn
The little beggar, the leopard, and the Taoist priest were already sitting inside the house.
Li Yan did not waste any words and began to let everyone gather information.
The little beggar was the first to speak: "Shanghang County currently has only one company of nationalist troops guarding the enemy headquarters."
"Two security teams guarding the four gates"
"However, these two security regiments are not large, each with only two battalions."
"Another one-third are drawing salaries without working."
"Including the police, there are less than 1200 people in total."
Li Yan laughed and said, "It seems that these national troops are really confident in their outer defenses."
At this point, Li Yan seemed to think of something and immediately asked, "Little beggar,
"Do you know that there is a man named Long Ye in Shanghang City?"
The little beggar replied: "Instructor"
"You also know this Lord Long."
"When we were collecting information about Shanghang County"
"Whether it's the Hanako Gang or the underworld, everyone can't help but mention this Lord Long."
"So I specifically asked who this Dragon Lord was."
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t ask”
"After asking around, we found out that this Dragon Lord is the real Dragon King of Shanghang City."
"Few people know the specific name of Long Ye."
"I heard that Lord Long came to Shanghang ten years ago."
“There are only four people with me.”
"Born in Southern Shaolin, he is very good at water kung fu and is a brave fighter."
"They are the four great kings under Lord Long."
"Lord Long relies on these four people"
"In one month, we wiped out hundreds of gangs, large and small, that relied on mining for their livelihoods in Shanghang."
"From then on, he became famous"
"Established Hongmen Water Hall, opened the mountain gate, and accepted disciples"
"So far, there are tens of thousands of disciples."
"His businesses are spread all over Shanghang"
"Especially shipping, which is monopolized by more than 80%."
“You can say he’s rich and powerful.”
"Give him some face no matter if it's in the black or white world"
"Everyone says he might be the next leader of the Red Gate."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think of Long Ye?"
The little beggar replied: "Everyone says that Lord Long is a generous and kind person, eager to help others and has friends all over the world."
“I have never done anything harmful to others.”
“The management of subordinates is also extremely strict.”
"In addition to the ten prohibitions of the Red Gate, he added two more"
"Anyone who oppresses innocent people will be severely punished."
"Anyone who surrenders to the enemy and betrays the country will be killed without mercy"
Li Yan nodded after listening
The little beggar suddenly said: "Instructor"
"Today is New Year's Eve, and the Red Gate is gathering at Shuitangtangkou near the Shanghang Confucian Temple."
"Many Red Gate disciples gathered, and even some local businessmen and officials came to congratulate."
“I don’t know if it will have any impact on our actions.”
Li Yan's eyes lit up: "Good news!"
"There is a Red Gate party today"
“No one would have thought that someone would dare to attack Shanghang City.”
“It’s our chance.”
"Fisherman, are your weapons and everything ready?"
The fisherman replied: "I got it back."
“Now it’s distributed to everyone.”
Li Yan nodded: "Fisherman, Taoist meeting is over..."
"You take 100 people and sneak out of Shanghang and reach the dock where we land today."
"Where did the Nationalist army set up a water fort?"
"You just hide near the water fort."
"Leopard, Guo Dali, you also take 100 people and ambush at the East Gate."
"The rest of you, follow me to the vicinity of the Nationalist Army Headquarters."
"Wait until one in the morning"
"The Chief of Staff will lead the First and Second Regiments and two battalions of the Artillery Regiment to attack the north of Shanghang."
"It can attract the attention of a large number of national troops"
"At this time, the fisherman and the Taoist priest need to quickly capture the water fort."
"And sent out flares"
"Do you still remember those 180 people who didn't meet the training standards two days ago?"
“When we boarded the ship and arrived in Shanghang”
"They have disguised themselves as fishermen and are scattered across the river fishing."
“Always keep an eye on our movements”
"Tonight I saw fireworks blooming on the other side of Shanghang City"
"That was the signal Zhang Dong and Su Shan sent me."
"They have already determined our entry point into Shanghang"
“And we have already made preparations on the Ting River.”
“As long as they see the signal”
"The 180 people who don't meet the standards will drive fishing boats."
"Send the soldiers of the third and fourth regiments to you, fisherman and Taoist priest."
"Leopard, Guo Dali, you must find the right time to seize Shanghang East Gate."
"Meet the people from the third and fourth regiments"
"Just let our third and fourth regiments enter Shanghang City."
"Then we will be halfway to success if we take Shanghang."
After Li Yan finished giving the order, he looked at the fisherman again.
He said seriously: "Fisherman, Taoist, whether you can hold on to the water stronghold is the key to this battle."
"You must ensure that the route into Shanghang City is unobstructed."
"Do you understand?"
The fisherman nodded heavily.
Li Yan looked at his watch: "It's almost time."
"Everyone start preparing for action"
"Little beggar, Tong Liang, have Tong Zhong, Tong Yi, Zhao Long, and Zheng Hu lead two teams of commandos."
"Come with me to see the gathering at Hongmen Shuitang"
"The enemy's headquarters is on the street next to the Hongmen Reservoir"
Don't look at it, it's already late at night
The Hongmen Shuitang Hall is bustling with people coming and going.
Since it is still early in the morning
Li Yan first asked Zhao Long and Zheng Hu to disperse their men near the Kuomintang headquarters.
He brought the little beggar, Tong Zhong, and Tong Yi to the alley opposite the Hongmen Shuitang Hall.
Quietly looking at the Red Gate Water Hall
The little beggar pointed at the four men in black standing on both sides of the gate and said to Li Yan, "Instructor!"
"Those four people are the four great kings under Lord Long."
"They are Kunpeng, Jiuying, Shui Qilin, and Fuzhu."
Li Yan pointed to the man in black on his left and asked, "Who is that?"
The little beggar looked at it and said, "That is Kunpeng, the first general under Lord Long."
Li Yan nodded. Kunpeng was the black-clad guard who took Li Yan to see Lord Long before getting off the boat today.
Based on Kunpeng's skills today, Li Yan can roughly judge the strength of the four great kings under Long Ye.
There was a gentle middle-aged man standing next to the gate, holding a visiting card in his hand, and constantly calling out the names of the people.
"Shanghang Mining General Manager Kang Ming has arrived and wishes Hongmen Shuitang prosperity and long-term success."
"Director Chang of the Shanghang Police Department has arrived, wishing Hongmen Shuitang prosperity and long-lasting success."
"Staff Officer Wang of the Shanghang Garrison Security Corps has arrived. On behalf of the Security Corps, he wishes Hongmen Shuitang prosperity and long-lasting success."
......
The four great kings took the gifts from the guests and bowed to thank them with a smile.
The little beggar was originally a man of the world. Seeing the scene before him, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
Said to Li Yan: "Instructor"
"This Lord Long is amazing!"
"When the police and security personnel came, he just bowed at the gate."
"It seems that after we take Shanghang, we must also pay a visit."
Li Yan said vaguely: "It's almost time."
“We should leave too.”
