Chapter 302 Making plans
After confirming the enemy's location, Luo Yue immediately found Wang Qinjiu and asked him in detail about the situation of Ciming Temple. It happened that Wang Qinjiu had also been to Ciming Temple twice and had some understanding of the local situation, so he told Luo Yue in detail.
Ciming Temple has a lot of origin. It is said to have been built during the Yuan Dynasty. It was originally a large temple in Jiaozhou area. However, due to the changes in Jiaozhou City, Ciming Temple's location has gradually become marginalized in Jiaozhou area. It is now located about 15 kilometers southwest of Wangjiazhai Village. It is located on the back mountain and facing the sun. The back door leads to a small hill. The front door is facing the Jinshan Avenue. There is also an open area on the left and right. Overall, it is quite similar to the geographical location of Wangjiazhai.
There are about a dozen monks in the temple. Because the location of the temple is somewhat remote, the incense in the temple has always been low. It mainly relies on chanting scriptures during weddings and funerals in the surrounding villages to support the funeral and maintain the expenses in the temple, and it can also avoid forced holidays. However, because Ciming Temple is in the suburbs, the temple covers a large area, with a total of more than a dozen halls in the temple, and a large courtyard in front of it can accommodate hundreds of people. The bandits who counterattacked Wangjiazhai Village to use Ciming Temple as their gathering point is indeed a clear choice.
After asking about the situation at Ciming Temple, Luo Yue was basically aware of it, so he asked Wang Qinjiu to go back to rest, and at the same time asked him to notify other families in the village that everyone was working hard during this period, so they would take a day off tomorrow, but the militia had to conduct half a day of training. Wang Qinjiu didn't think much about it and immediately went door to door to inform.
Although it was already night, Luo Yue did not dare to delay. The enemy didn't have much time left for him, and only two days was there, and he had to make arrangements before the enemy attacked.
Luo Yue first ordered the battalion headquarters of Hongshiya Town to start the drone and take detailed photos of the Ciming Temple area at the designated location. It is best to take some situations in the temple, and ordered a platoon and an artillery squad to support Wangjiazhai Village. Then he recruited all the travelers in the village to discuss his own action plan.
After everyone arrived, Luo Yuexian said: "From what we learned, our enemy plan is to take action the day after tomorrow, and I think if we want to take the initiative, we should take action one day in advance and tomorrow. Because from the enemy's standpoint, tomorrow is the last day before the action, and we will definitely accumulate energy and wait for the time for action to come, and it is also the time for the lowest vigilance. Therefore, as long as we make arrangements and have great confidence in capturing the enemy in one place, it will at least damage the enemy."
Ma Sai Trail: "Bath Commander Luo, our enemies are now divided into two parts, Ciming Temple is part, and Wang brothers in Jiaozhou City are part. Although the part of Ciming Temple is obviously the main force of the enemy, the Wang brothers cannot be ignored. Judging from this incident, the Wang brothers still have considerable ability to move, so they must not be let go."
Luo Yue nodded and said, "Of course, the Wang brothers cannot let go. In addition, they have to rescue Wang Gui's Erjie. However, they have a minority of people in Jiaozhou City, so they only need to dispatch an elite team to enter the city, carry out a killing operation on the Wang brothers and rescue personnel. We can do two-pronged approach and divide the troops."
Qian Guoyu was a little puzzled and said, "Why do we still have to rescue Wang Gui's Erjie? Hasn't he betrayed us?"
Zhang Yunjiang shook his head and said, "Wang Gui did not betray us, but was coerced by the Wang brothers. It is understandable that we should save his son."
Qian Guoyu said: "What kind of emotion is excusable, no matter what the reason or motive, betrayal is betrayal. Wang Gui's behavior is a substantial betrayal of us. If it is excusable, then every traitor will say that he is forced. Can he not bear the consequences if he is forced?"
Driver Du Zong said: "You are wrong. Put yourself in your heart. If someone pushes your gun at you, can you not listen to him?"
Another driver, Zhang Yu, shook his head and said, "If someone pushes your gun at you and asks you to kill someone, will you also kill someone?"
"Also, if someone pushes your gun at you and asks you to kill someone, after you kill someone, you can tell the judge that I was forced and can you not bear legal responsibility?"
"But Wang Gui didn't kill anyone. He just revealed a little about our situation to the Wang brothers."
"This is more serious than murder, which is a leak of confidential information. And don't forget that he also wants to poison the Wang brothers, leak confidential information, and attempt to kill people. In the old time and space, it is not a death penalty, at least life."
............
Seeing that the discussion was about to fall, Luo Yue quickly interrupted the conversation and said, "We have the final say on what consequences Wang Gui has to bear, but the issue considered by the Executive Committee. However, Wang Gui's son is an innocent person in this incident. Therefore, it is reasonable that we should do our best to rescue his son. In addition, this is also a demonstration for the whole village and tell them that we have the ability to protect them. After all, Wang Gui betrayed us this time, but he still does not believe that we have the strength to rescue his son."
After hearing this, Qian Guoyu nodded and said, "I agree with the battalion commander's opinion, but I will act tomorrow. Will time be too tight? Can other troops come here at the extreme?"
Luo Yue said: "I have ordered Company Commander Yang to take a platoon from Hongshiya Town tomorrow morning, and we can arrive here at nine o'clock, rest for a while, and we can start acting at noon."
Mazhai was stunned for a moment. The two platoons and Luo Yue's guards had only more than 100 people in total. Is this number enough? But he also knew that the People's Army had only three platoons in Hongshiya Town, one of which was an artillery platoon, and the others were stationed far away. It would be impossible to arrive at the Wang family tomorrow. Therefore, he said: "Battleman Commander Luo, is the number of troops a little less? Why not wait until the day after tomorrow? Anyway, the enemy's plan is to poison the night after tomorrow. If we act during the day after tomorrow, we can also be in front of the enemy."
Luo Yue shook his head and said, "It will definitely not work the day after tomorrow, because the enemy is about to act and will definitely be fully prepared. Even if we are caught off guard by us, we can quickly organize resistance. Therefore, the best time for us to attack is tomorrow. As for the issue of military strength, we also have militias and German prisoners. They are all strictly trained soldiers, and it is more than enough to fight bandits."
Marseille wrinkled and said, "Since the land clearance has been opened, the militia have not trained well. I am afraid it will be difficult to shoulder the heavy responsibility. As for the German prisoners, can they be reliable? Don't run away as soon as they fight."
Luo Yue smiled and said, "I think German prisoners are still reliable. First of all, they are in China, with outstanding image and poor language. They can run there. They can't swim across the sea and escape back to Germany. The result of the escape will only be starving to death. Our relationship with Germany is improving and we have the intention to cooperate. Germany has sent a special envoy like Tianjin. If we form a consensus cooperation agreement with Germany, there will definitely be clauses to release prisoners of war. At that time, these German prisoners can be released. Why do they run away when they return home? In addition, I will recommend to the command center that they will give certain rewards to the German prisoners participating in this battle, so I believe that these German prisoners are reliable. Of course, just in case, I will not equip these German prisoners with rifles, but will all use cold weapons to fight. In this way, even if the German prisoners turn against the water, we can control the situation. As for the militia, just think that it is going out to meet the battlefield. With our army and German prisoners, it is actually enough."
After hearing this, everyone thought that what Luo Yue said was reasonable, and Luo Yue Bi Jing was the highest military official in this area, and he still had the final say in military affairs. Therefore, even if someone still had objections in his heart, it was hard to say anything else?
Luo Yue turned around and said to Qian Guoyu: "Platform Leader Qian, you have entered Jiaozhou City, so I will hand over the task of killing the Wang brothers and rescuing Wang Gui's son to you. Choose a few soldiers in your platoon and formulate a combat plan. There is also tomorrow Yang Rui will lead the team here. I will ask him to help you, and your combat plan can be considered."
Yang Rui was originally a sniper in Luo Yue's platoon, and has now been promoted to company commander. However, this small-scale raid battle makes snipers more useful, so Luo Yue arranged Yang Rui on the battlefield in Jiaozhou City.
After everyone left the meeting, Luo Yue immediately sent a message to the Qingdao Command, telling the Qingdao Command its own plan and asking the Qingdao Command to transfer the phone to Tianjin on his behalf and reply as soon as possible.
The next morning, Yang Rui brought a platoon of troops and an artillery squad to Wangjiazhai Village, and also brought photos of the Cimingsi area taken by drones. Of course, since there was no printer, the photos could only be viewed on the flatbed and were taken at night, so all of them were night vision effects. But this was good. You can draw a standard map of the Cimingsi area based on the photos.
In addition, some photos of bandits were taken. Although the number of bandits could not be judged, there was a new occurrence, that is, some bandits were actually equipped with muskets. It seemed that the strength of this bandit was not weak, which was enough to arouse Luo Yue's vigilance and he could not underestimate this bandit.
