Chapter 20 Lurking

The two heavy machine guns bought by Li Tiancheng were two large wheels with a diameter of about fifty cm in front and a small wheel with a diameter of twenty cm in back. They could move quickly and easily under human push. They were considered a relatively advanced type at that time.

"Xiaoyong, you bring two people and move these two heavy machine guns to the gate of the Zhu family, let their soldiers pile obstacles around the guns, watch the front and sides of the gate, and then you return to the team to the captain Liu of Wansongling."

"Remember, bring a few spare elastic belts."

"yes!"

"Wear a steel helmet and be careful!"

"Brother Cheng, I'm here!" Just as I was about to set off, the third lady suddenly appeared again.

The third lady ran over panting with a medicine box in her hand.

"You want to go up the mountain, too?"

"Yes, Brother Cheng."

"Did your father agree?"

"My father asked me to protect you well and let me be careful. He said that with your elites, there should be no problem with safety."

"Since your father agrees, I will take you up there. You have to listen to me and do not need to act privately. You just take care of the team members who may be injured and do your medical work well. You are not allowed to use guns to fight." Li Tiancheng had no time to think, and immediately agreed to Miss Three to go up the mountain. If he wanted the elite queuing team members to be injured in the battle, he could still use her.

Then the three of them wore three camouflage uniforms, put on steel helmets, rode on two tall horses, and ran towards Wansongling. The third lady sat behind Li Tiancheng, hugging his waist tightly, and his body was pressed tightly. Yufeng was close to Li Tiancheng's back. Li Tiancheng couldn't help but feel the heat coming from his third lady's body. However, it was urgent at this time, and he had no intention of thinking about anything else.

The 100-year-old man from the Zhu family's team, led by He Youjun, had already run to the Wansongling Pass. He ambushed on both sides under the uneven mountainside. When he saw Li Tiancheng and the other two coming, he gave way to them to pass.

"Captain He, I have sent a team of people to go deep into the enemy's back to reconnaissance. If you see a signal flare shining in the sky, it means you can prepare for battle. I have also notified the soldiers in Zhujiazhuang." Li Tiancheng saw He Youjun pointing fingers among the soldiers, so he shouted to him.

He Youjun waved his hand and expressed his understanding of his meaning. Then Li Tiancheng followed the mountain road to the mountain road on the right side of Wansongling. On the top of the mountain on the right, you can see the mountain nest in the middle of the left side of Wansongling. If you move about a hundred meters to the right, you can also see the flat terrain on the right side of Wansongling, where there is a road leading to the entrance of Zhujiazhuang.

At this time, Bai Changsheng's reconnaissance team had been lurking on a mound on the bank of the Huangpu River for a long time. They had long seen British gunboats moving on the river surface and now they have docked and moored.

"Captain, the British gunboats have been parked on the riverside for a long time. What are they doing here? Is there really a conspiracy?" asked a team member.

"It's not clear yet. The three team members we sent out who were dressed up as boatmen should be coming back soon. When they come back, we can understand the general situation." Because the embankment of the Huangpu River is relatively high, the British warship has already docked and anchored at this time, and then there has been no movement. The entire body of the gunboat can no longer be seen with a telescope at a high place, so Bai Changsheng didn't know the current situation of the British, so he had to wait for the reconnaissance personnel he sent to come back.

A few minutes later, investigator Wang Bing returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the other two were still rowing fishing boats on the Huangpu River to continue monitoring.

"Captain Bai, the British gunboat was parked on the shore and there was no movement. The displacement was about one or two hundred tons. There were about a dozen sailors inside. They didn't look like regular naval ships, but they might be gunboats modified by civilian ships. The soldiers did not even wear military uniforms, wearing European casual clothes. After docking, they did not go ashore and stayed on the boat and did not do any other activities. They seemed to be waiting for something. The two guns on the boat seemed to be about fifty millimeters in the caliber. If the gun was fired, the shells could cover the entire Zhujiazhuang area."

"There is another point. The commander on the ship was the British Sergeant Wilson who made trouble in Zhujiazhuang last time. I remember his appearance very clearly. I secretly observed it with a telescope."

"Wilson, it's indeed a British gunboat. Is it related to what happened last time?" Bai Changsheng heard Wilson's name and immediately thought about whether it was related to the disappearance of the British soldiers.

A few minutes later, the team members sent by Bai Changsheng to Zhujiazhuang to contact him also rushed over.

"Captain, there are about three or four hundred people approaching the Zhu family outside Wansongling. The intention is very obvious. It is coming to Zhujiazhuang. Captain Li asked us to prepare for battle and strictly prevent the British gunboat from approaching the gunboat. Once the gunboat has any movement, attack it immediately."

"In this way, those British people are also bad at coming. They won't be so coincidental that they just happened to drive the boat here?"

"Wang Bing, you will lead the two of you to the point where the river embankment is about two hundred meters away from the left of the gunboat. Using the cover of grass, I will take the remaining three people to ambush the right of the gunboat. Once I open fire, you will immediately open fire. After you go up, you will signal the two on the boat to get closer to the gunboat. When you hear the gunshot, you will immediately open fire."

The two team members on the wooden boat brought a machine gun and a Type 81 rifle, and two grenades; the seven people on the shore had a sniper rifle and six rifles, and more than thirty grenades. If the gunboat stopped on the shore and did not leave, it would be very convenient to attack with grenades and rifles. If they escaped from the shore, it would be difficult to deal with.

Team member Wang Bing took the order and took two people to move quickly towards the riverside. Their location was less than one mile from the gunboat. It was in a small wood at the top of a hill. The terrain was high here, and you could clearly see the passing ships on the river. They were covered with grass circles woven by green leaves for concealment. In addition, the ones on their heads were also wearing steel helmets and wearing specially customized camouflage uniforms made by Li Tian, ​​the elite platoon, which was similar to the camouflage uniforms of later generations.

Then Wang Bing and the other three quickly ran to the left. Bai Changsheng and the three set out to the right and headed towards the dam several meters above the ground. Soon, people on both sides slowly approached the gunboat parked on the shore with the help of grass cover, stopped within about two hundred meters, and used the rifle and scope on the sniper to observe the other party's position.

Wang Bing gestured to the fishing boats four hundred meters away from the gunboat on the river and signaled them to get close to the gunboat and prepare for battle. The fishing boat then rowed towards the gunboat from the left.
