Chapter 132 The old company commander’s handwriting! ?
Just as Yin Xinjun expected, the battle at Zhuhe shocked the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
After only a few days of fighting, from Maoershan Town to Zhuhe County, the Kwantung Army suffered more than 1000 casualties!
The Kwantung Army suffered only over 2000 casualties during the Sanjiang campaign over the past few months!
This prompted the Kwantung Army Headquarters to readjust its deployment. General Ueda Kenkichi ordered Ando Toshiyoshi to immediately set off for Zhuhe and mobilize heavy troops from all directions to encircle and suppress this anti-Japanese force.
To the west of the Pearl River, Maoershan Station,
Several puppet soldiers were carrying buckets of white paint and painting the station building diligently.
On the wall of the building, a few terrifying blood-red words were so conspicuous.
In the forest on the opposite mountain, a handsome and thin man was scoping towards the station with a telescope!
Behind the man, more than thirty Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fighters were leaning tiredly against a tree, closing their eyes and resting.
The man looked at it and muttered to himself.
"Political Commissar, it seems that a fierce battle took place here not long ago!"
Another bearded man also held up a telescope and said,
"That's right, the railway should have just been repaired, and there are so many devils here!"
On one side of the railway line, some broken rails were piled up in a mess.
There was also an armored train parked on the platform. The train had only a few carriages and there were more than ten black gun barrels.
Along the railway line, there was a Japanese soldier standing guard with a gun every 10 meters or so!
"Political Commissar, could it be the comrades from the Second Route Army who did it?"
"Captain, I think it should be... Oh my god, the devil is coming to take my life! The comrades of the Second Army are quite arrogant, haha!"
"The King of Hell is demanding your life?"
The captain's eyes suddenly froze, and he began to tremble in disbelief.
"Political Commissar, look at this word!"
"Which word?"
The leader's voice became sharper.
"That's the king. Hurry up, hurry up, or he's going to be gone!"
The puppet army's big mop had already started to paint from the top, and the word "王" was no longer visible.
"What's wrong!"
"This... How come this is so similar to what the old company commander wrote!" The regiment commander muttered to himself, but tears burst out from his deep and resolute eyes like a dam breaking. The bean-sized tears kept rolling down like pearls that had broken off the string.
At this moment, the regiment commander's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the days of the Long March two years ago, when their troops were stationed in Baozuo Township.
In the intervals between intense battles, the company commander would always take time out to teach him how to read and write. Although that time was hard, it was also full of warmth and hope.
"Political Commissar, that Wang is my last name. When the old company commander wrote it, there was a hook at the end of the horizontal line. It's exactly the same!"
The head of this regiment is Wang Yaohui, the head of the special forces regiment of the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. He was ordered by Commander Yang to go to the Second Route Army to establish contact and escort a radio station!
The political commissar is Chen Chao, and he used to be a comrade-in-arms in the same class with Wang Yaohui and Yin Xinjun!
Wang Yaohui is still used to calling Yin Xinjun the old company commander!
Chen Chao picked up the telescope and looked carefully for a long time, then sighed.
"I didn't see any words, are you dazzled?"
At this time, the two puppet soldiers who were painting had already covered all the red words with white paint! Not a single word could be seen!
Wang Yaohui sighed heavily.
"Maybe I am really seeing things, but I have a feeling that the old company commander is very lucky and will not leave us like this!"
Chen Chao suddenly said,
"Captain, we have come here from Mudanjiang, but we didn't expect the enemy situation here to be even more serious. What should we do?"
When the special forces group set out, there were more than 200 people. They first headed north from Jiandao and headed straight to Mudanjiang.
The troops continued to fight with the Japanese and puppet troops along the way, and suffered serious casualties. Later, they received a telegram from the First Army and learned that the Anti-Japanese United Army activities were frequent in the Binjiang area, so they moved westward to Zhuhe!
At this time, there were only 33 officers and soldiers left in the entire regiment!
"We must find a way to cross the railway line and find the Second Route Army!" Wang Yaohui said firmly, with an unquestionable tone!
In Yuanbao Town, the soldiers had rested for a day. Yin Xinjun took the time to conduct another reconnaissance in the direction of Zhuhe River, but the enemy did not come at all!
At least there was no trace of the enemy within a radius of forty miles behind him, which made him very unhappy, because according to his plan, he planned to mobilize the enemy and then launch a surprise attack!
Looking at the process of the Four Crossings of the Chishui River, the White Army was led by the nose by the Red Army, but when it was their turn, this trick didn't work!
The two armies were stationed at the north and south ends of the town respectively.
After lunch in the afternoon, Yin Xinjun drove an ox cart to the residence of the Beitou Anti-Japanese United Army. The cart was full of bags of white flour!
The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces recruited more than 50 new soldiers in the town. There was never a shortage of passionate men willing to join the army in the Northeast!
Kang Huaifu was pacing nervously in the room. He didn't want to stay here for even an hour.
"Lao Kang, I went out for a walk and bought a cow and some flour. I can have a feast tonight!"
Yin Xinjun said happily as soon as he entered the door!
Kang Huaifu came over anxiously.
"Yan Wang, there are pursuers behind us, we have been staying here for too long!"
"Don't worry, I did some reconnaissance and the Japanese are not chasing us. Let's rest for another night and set off tomorrow morning!"
As Yin Xinjun spoke, he took out a map.
"Look, if we continue walking 50 miles northeast, we will reach Yanshou County, which is also our next target!"
"Well, this is the only way for us to go north!"
"However, this time, my idea is that you take your men to Yanshou County and conduct reconnaissance. If it is easy to fight, then you can take it down. If it is not easy to fight, then you can wait for me. I will wait here first to see if the Japanese will chase us!"
There are many hills and mountains near Yuanbao Town, which are perfect for an ambush. However, Yin Xinjun is still a little unwilling to give up!
"Okay, do you have any more grenade launchers? I'm running out of them!"
Kang Huaifu came to a conclusion from the fierce fighting in the past few days, that grenade launchers and infantry guns play the greatest role!
Following the King of Hell, Kang Huaifu learned a word: firepower is king.
The war now is fought completely differently from before. It has become more and more dependent on firepower, so the troops' ammunition consumption is also very high!
Unfortunately, the town only seized some bullets, but no artillery shells or grenades!
"I have a few boxes of grenades here and will send them to you right away!" said Yin Xinjun.
There is plenty of ammunition in the space, and giving Kang Huaifu a small amount of regular ammunition will not arouse any suspicion!
Yin Xinjun went out for a walk and came back in a carriage soon.
In addition to 6 boxes of 180 special grenade launcher grenades, there are also 25 Liao-7.92 rifles and three boxes of mm rifle bullets!
Kang Huaifu was overjoyed. There were many new recruits in the army, and many of them had not yet received their guns.
"Yan Wang, you give me whatever I want. This batch of guns comes just in time!"
"Haha, we have seized a lot these days. Don't worry, Lao Kang, just expand the troops, and I will make up for whatever you need!"
"Okay, let's get going then!"
"Well, if the enemy is too strong, don't force it, wait for us!"
After Kang Huaifu left, Yin Xinjun drove a horse-drawn carriage back to the special operations team! The carriage was fully loaded with ammunition and food!
He gathered the team together, took out a new grenade launcher, and looked at each team member!
"Since Yishan has not yet returned to the team, Lu Ying will be in charge of the team's grenade launcher!"
After saying that, he handed the grenade launcher to Lu Ying.
"There are various ammunition on the carriage outside. Everyone can divide it among yourselves later. Lu Ying, from today on, you will practice firing 18 grenades for me every day!"
"Yes, the boss!"
