  Li Xue Rong and Li Xue Hu led a group of people to observe the enemy's defense, but after several discussions, they all shook their heads. The devils' defense was too tight, and there was no opportunity at all.

  Kongjia Temple is the ancestral temple of the Kong family in Kongsan Town, covering an area of four square miles. It is a garden-style building with a Jiangnan layout, which is rare in the north. The devils liked the beautiful environment here and used the front yard as their residence. They cut down all the trees behind, burned down the houses, rebuilt them into grain warehouses, and placed machine guns and sentry posts on the fake hills. There were blockhouses, artillery towers, and trenches dug outside the temple walls, with warning signs that read "Danger Zone - Do Not Enter". Two blockhouses were built in front of the main gate, with roadblocks and devils patrolling day and night. At night, searchlights illuminated the entire area like daylight.

  The Li brothers studied for a long time but still had no countermeasure, and there was only one day left until the tenth. Various topographic maps, terrain maps, and even internal structure diagrams of the Kong family temple were all drawn by the Kong clan leader. Of course, the Kong clan leader could not go back, before the war, everyone was allowed to enter but not leave.

  October 9th night at 10 o'clock, Li Baoguo arrived early with Tie Xue.

  Wang Xuehua also knew that the Li brothers had not yet come up with an attack plan and was anxious in his heart. Seeing Li Baoguo and others arrive, he told them about taking over the Zhuozhou train station, thinking to himself that since Yang's team hadn't arrived, everything would be pointless, who else could match their skills?

  Seeing their absent-minded appearance, Li Baoguo knew that something was up and pushed Wang Xuehua, "Old Wang, you'd better get ready. Tomorrow's gathering has exceeded 8,000 people, and the pre-war food will have to rely on you. You'll have to prepare some meat to reward the soldiers. As for the battle, since you've never been in one, don't worry about it." Wang Xuehua looked at Li Baoguo, "How can I not be anxious? So many people are gathering here, and I don't have enough food. What's going on?"

  Li's younger brother heard this and his anger suddenly flared up, saying "If it doesn't work, we'll force our way in!"

  "Take me to see." Li Baoguo pushed the map on the table to one side, "Gather all the company commanders, deputy company commanders, instructors, even squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, and go take a look together. We'll talk when we get back."

  "Ah, how could I have forgotten about pre-war democracy!" Li Xuerong exclaimed in surprise.

  Returning from observation, it was already 3 o'clock in the night. The meeting continued overnight, right in the courtyard. Li Baoguo sat in the middle and let everyone express their opinions.

  No one spoke for half a day. Indeed, from various angles of attack, it is not very realistic, especially the requirement that we must not disturb the main forces of the devils is too high.

  Suddenly, a person stood up in the crowd, Li Baoguo took a look and his heart lit up, this guy, how could I have forgotten him?

  The one who stood up was Tú Lóng — Iron Blood Regiment lined up in rows. At that time, he was the one who garrisoned at the western camp entrance, it was his credit.

  "How is it?" He stood up, Li Baoguo understood his meaning and asked nervously, he really didn't have any good ideas.

  "As long as tomorrow's wind doesn't change, there won't be a problem." Tū Lóng replied affirmatively.

  "Who knows what the weather will be like tomorrow?" Li Baoguo said helplessly.

  "A man in his middle age, wearing a long robe and having short hair and no beard, with bright and piercing eyes, came in from the outside of the door. Behind him was the guard who stood at the gate."

  Before the guard could speak, the man said: "My surname is Han, I am a teacher in this village. Your guards are very good, I can help you take down the enemy's grain depot."

  "What?" The crowd was shocked, the Sky Patrol Team wasn't really a ghostly squad after all, so some of their methods were naturally suspect. Mr. Han was a seasoned traveler who had been to many places, and he quickly determined that this group was an anti-ghost squad hiding here for those grains. That's why he volunteered to come here with the security guard.

  "Let's see." Li Baoguo said, and everyone was shocked again, but no one spoke, including the Li brothers.

  "Is this brother from the Five Poisons Sect?" Mr. Han glanced at Tulong, "He's truly a hero! The Five Poisons Sect has produced such a good man, I can die with my eyes closed."

  Tú Lóng was shocked upon hearing this, "You are..."

  "Korean Skies."

  "Master Uncle." Tu Long immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing without getting up. Han Jing Tian was a legendary figure in the Jianghu world, known for his incredible feat of single-handedly poisoning an entire battalion of Japanese devils, causing one of their combat units to be eliminated from the battle sequence. Some people believed that he had mysteriously disappeared, while others claimed that he had gotten lost in a thick fog. In reality, that thick fog was created by Han Jing Tian himself.

  "Alright, alright, get up." Han Jing Tian pulled up Tú Lóng, "Which sect are you a disciple of?"

  "My master is 'Tang Wang', and my ancestor is 'Hong Ying'." He said they were all nicknames given by people in the martial arts world.

  "You are now a disciple of Zhu Shi Jie, and your master is Zhu Gui Zi." Han Jing Tian sighed and said.

  "Yes." Tulong didn't dare address his master by name, nodding instead and saying, "Master Shu, this is our Captain Li."

  "Wei County Guerrilla Squad Leader Li Baoguo, nice to meet you senior." Li Baoguo clasped his fists in greeting, he and Tulong were about the same age, so they should be considered peers.

  "Let's still be friends, his master is my father's senior disciple, I'm only a bit older than you?" Han Jing Tian smiled.

  "Hey, Brother Han, I'll be straightforward with you, how did you know tomorrow's weather?" Li Baoguo said bluntly.

  Han Jing Tian did not expect the leader of the guerrilla team to be so young and so straightforward, his good impression of the guerrilla team increased again. "My Five Poisons Sect is originally researching this, recognizing heaven is a must for poisoning. I observed the sky last night, tomorrow there will be some fog, the wind isn't too big, just right for poisoning. However, you all need to prepare some things, this is the list, I've already written it down, they're all easy to prepare. As for digging holes, Tú Lóng will take care of it."

  "There's still so much to learn in the Five Poisons Sect! I'm really a frog at the bottom of the well. Last time at Xiyangkou, it didn't seem as troublesome for Tulong." Li Baoguo took over the list and looked at it, seeing that it was densely filled with writing, and said with a smile.

  "This stronghold is at most only a few dozen meters in size, but this Kong family temple is several miles in circumference, with a diameter of eight miles. With the skills you have learned from Tulong Academy, you'll be waiting to be shot by the devils' guns." Han Jing Tian said with a smile, "Tulong being able to join the guerrilla army against the devils is an honor and pride for my Wudangmen. Here, I have this secret manual, take it and read it yourself. If you use it to fight against the devils, I'll be delighted; but if you use it for evil purposes, beware of your own life."

  "Thank you, Master Uncle Zhu." Tulong stepped forward to receive it and knocked on the ground.

  "Alright, it's fortunate that you're not skilled enough to learn the art, losing face for our Five Poison Sect is a small matter, but ruining the big plan of the guerrilla team would be bad." Han Jing Tian said, "I think the guerrilla team is indeed a righteous and benevolent teacher, a king-like teacher, you must do well. I know that the guerrilla team and the Eighth Route Army are on the same path, the Communist Party's Eighth Route Army, I have experience with them, good job. See you tomorrow." Han Jing Tian said as he was about to leave, Li Bao Guo led his men in a hurry to send him out the door.

  Li's brothers were overjoyed, on the one hand solving the big stone in their hearts, and on the other hand proving that their Sky Battle Team's actions in Xiliuzi Village had been recognized by the people. After Li Baoguo returned, he immediately arranged for someone to take care of the rest of the special warfare team members.
