Chapter 198 Infiltrating Hailin County
Yin Xinjun looked at Chen Chao and Tang Yantian again and said,
"After the main force attacks, the burden of defense will be shouldered by the Chief of Staff and Yan Tian. This time we will leave behind Squad 3, Squad 5, and all the new recruits. You two must remember that once the Japanese army attacks in force, you must not fight head-on. Instead, you must focus on harassment and hold out until night!"
Chen Chao said,
"Boss, aren't the people you brought a little too few? Do you want to bring Team 5 as well?"
"With Lao Peng's regiment here, we have a lot of people!"
Peng Yuan also added,
"We have more than 220 people in our regiment now. The more we fight, the more people we have. Haha. The only thing we lack now is artillery shells."
In the past few days, Peng Yuan has been capturing prisoners and recruiting soldiers. He has gradually recovered his strength and the number of troops has increased from 130 to 220!
Moreover, he had tasted the sweetness of fighting tough battles with the King of Hell, and had captured a lot of spoils and received plenty of supplies!
Yin Xinjun smiled and said,
"After the meeting, everyone will arrange for someone to come to the baggage unit to collect supplies. Ammunition and dry food must be enough for five days, and the artillery shells are already in place!"
When Peng Yuan heard this, he was filled with heroic spirit.
"How many rounds? If less, I won't be able to hit you!"
"70 300mm shells! 75 100mm shells! Is that enough?"
Peng Yuan laughed.
"Give me all the shells, and leave the main attack mission to our regiment!"
Wang Yaohui stood up dissatisfied.
"Why? You are the regiment commander, and so am I. Our regiment is invincible! Give us these shells, Boss. I promise to complete the mission!"
Yin Xinjun liked this competitive atmosphere. He made a quiet gesture.
"I haven't even told you what the mission is yet, you two are so anxious! This time, our mission is to attack Hailin County! Everyone is the main attacker, so the shells will be evenly distributed!
Hailin County is located on the Binsui Railway. Our troops will set out tomorrow morning and enter the outskirts of Hailin County at 10 pm. We will start the operation on time at 11.30:! Everyone, please pay attention. After taking down Hailin County, we will attack Hengdaohezi, another important node of the Binsui Railway, to the west!"
Excitement and nervousness appeared on everyone's faces again. It had been a long time since they had fought in the county town!
Yin Xinjun continued,
"The purpose of this attack is mainly to destroy the railway line between Hailin County and Hengdaohezi, and strive to paralyze the Binsui Railway for at least two months!"
Then, Yin Xinjun made specific arrangements for the contact location tomorrow night (the 29th day of the lunar year), the Toudaogou area west of Hailin County!
After receiving their tasks, everyone went back and began to arrange for the troops to collect supplies overnight!
"Old Peng, please stay for a moment!" Yin Xinjun called Peng Yuan alone and handed him a cigarette!
"Lao Peng, you guys came from Hengdaohezi, how is the situation over there?"
Peng Yuan recalled carefully,
"That town is no smaller than the county town. The Russians had been operating it for a long time, and then they handed it over to the Japanese. There are many enemies there. There are many bunkers and buildings in the town. I only fired a few shells and didn't attack them!"
"Well, actually, no matter whether we take Hengdaohezi or Hailin, the Japanese will not be able to bear it. My idea is that we must cut off the Binsui Railway tomorrow night to make Saito Yaping too concerned about the head and not the butt."
Peng Yuan sincerely admired and said,
"Yan Wang, I find that it's fun to fight with you. The pace is too fast and it's hard to breathe. The Japanese will be even more unbearable!"
Yin Xinjun smiled.
"The enemy has many advantages here in the Northeast, such as large numbers of people and fast mobility. We have seized these advantages and dealt heavy blows one by one. The Sino-Japanese War has now entered a strategic stalemate. Why? Because the Japanese don't have enough resources and they are squandering them!"
Yin Xinjun knew that by 1940, the Japanese had first begun to have problems with their source of manpower. One example was the large-scale conscription of overseas Chinese by local garrisons in the Northeast.
It’s just that due to the arrival of Yin Xinjun, this process was accelerated!
"Also, I will sneak into Hailin later. If I can't reach the contact point by 10 o'clock, you guys continue to act according to the plan. I will cooperate with you from inside and outside at that time!"
Peng Yuan said with some concern,
"Then you have to be careful!"
In the town, at the entrance of the baggage detachment, the lights were bright, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Soldiers holding torches were everywhere, waiting in line to carry supplies.
The torches were still shaking because the soldiers were too cold. They kept stamping their feet to keep warm. Some soldiers took out compressed biscuits from time to time and put them in their mouths to chew them bit by bit.
To cope with the cold nights in Northeast China, a cotton-padded jacket alone is definitely not enough. You also need sufficient food, and it has to be high-calorie food.
Without even taking the time to sleep, Jia Shun, the artillery company commander under Peng Yuan, came to the baggage detachment with four sleds and took out the King of Hell's approval.
Li Zengxin, the captain of the baggage squad, took a look at the approval note, signed his name on it, and did as the King of Hell requested!
Jia Shun took the approval slip and found the person in charge, and soon received 50 rounds of 75mm shells, 150 rounds of 70mm shells, 600 rounds of grenade launchers, and a batch of canned food and compressed biscuits.
The soldiers hurried over and loaded the ammunition and dry food onto the sled. They were trembling with excitement and didn't seem to feel the cold anymore!
Both Peng Yuan's group and Kang Huaifu's group had the same problem. After following the King of Hell for a while, they all became addicted to firepower!
Specifically, when the cannons sounded, the soldiers immediately became full of confidence and high-spirited! Without the cannons, the soldiers almost all became depressed!
Just when everyone was working overtime overnight, Yin Xinjun set off again.
Before every major battle, Yin Xinjun would conduct on-site reconnaissance to avoid meaningless sacrifices!
He was alone, so he was able to march very quickly. Sometimes when he encountered a downhill section, he would use ski poles to ski, and when he encountered an uphill section or flat ground, he would switch to riding a horse.
So 5 hours later, he arrived at the outskirts of Hailin County.
At this time, it was still dark!
This time, he changed his reconnaissance method.
Makeup!
He took out a men's kimono, a cotton hat, a fur collar, cotton socks, and wooden clogs from the space!
This set of clothes was found once on a Japanese expatriate, and the key point is that there is also the ID card!
While waiting for dawn,
Yin Xinjun entered the city with great fanfare.
The few fake policemen at the first checkpoint didn't even have the courage to interrogate him, they just nodded and let him in!
The two Japanese soldiers at the second checkpoint checked the documents, and Yin Xinjun took out the identity card issued by Japan in China and the certificate issued by the Kwantung Army.
President of Oshima Trading Company, Ichiro Oshima!
Plus speaking fluent native Japanese!
The two Japanese soldiers immediately waved their hands politely and let them go!
After entering the city, Yin Xinjun kept walking around and purchasing all kinds of supplies!
I didn't buy much each time, just a few large and small bags! But after shopping back and forth for more than ten times, I spent a lot of money!
At noon, he went to a restaurant not far from the train station to eat!
