Chapter 117 Crossing the Songhua River to the south!
After dealing with this infantry squad,
The two led their troops to continue forward.
He began to leave the highway and led his troops to advance covertly to the northeast. After walking about 20 miles, he found a forest. The troops immediately went into the forest and hid!
Yin Xinjun sat on the ground, leaning against a tree. From time to time, he picked up the telescope and looked towards the road.
The weather is not very good today. It is a bit foggy at times and it is difficult to see clearly.
He took out the map and thought about where to go next.
Kang Huaifu also came over and sat down, taking out his pipe!
"I have arranged six guard posts!"
"Well, Lao Kang, let's cross the Songhua River. The terrain on the north bank is too flat and not conducive to hiding. Let's go to Bin County on the south bank!"
Bin County belongs to Binjiang Province, but Fangzheng County to the east and Zhuhe County to the south are both part of Sanjiang Province and are also areas where the Anti-Japanese United Army is active. Naturally, there will be more room for maneuver if we go to Bin County!
Kang Huaifu said,
"Okay, but it's a bit troublesome to cross the river. It's thawed now, so we need to find a boat!"
Yin Xinjun took out some beef jerky, handed a piece to Kang Huaifu, and started eating.
"No problem, I'll take care of it!"
Starting from three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was asked to go to bed quickly because the operation of crossing the river would be launched at night!
When it got dark at night, Yin Xinjun also set out quietly. He rode his horse straight to the north bank of the Songhua River.
He walked eastward along the shore for about 10 miles. There were many small fishing boats on the banks of the Songhua River, and many people living on the river made a living by fishing.
Yin Xinjun quickly found a small village by the river. There were more than 20 fishing boats, and most importantly, there were also large ships that could carry horse-drawn carriages!
He changed into civilian clothes and knocked on the door of one of the houses.
The door opened, and a thin, dark man appeared in front of him, emitting a faint fishy smell.
Yin Xinjun doesn't like to eat fish, probably because he is from the northwest. He only likes to eat beef and mutton.
His space lake was overrun with fish and shrimps.
So, Yin Xinjun carried a woven bag, which contained more than a dozen big fish, each weighing more than three kilograms!
"Brother, can I rent your boat to cross the river?"
After handing over the bag, Yin Xinjun also took out a cigarette.
The dark-skinned man looked at the fish in the bag and smiled. With so many big fish, he would be busy for a few days! The width of the Songhua River here is more than 1000 meters, and it only takes 10 minutes to cross the river!
"Okay, when do we leave?"
The dark and thin man said happily,
Yin Xinjun said,
"Maybe in more than an hour. Do you have a big ship here? The kind that can carry carriages!"
"Carriage?" There was an intriguing light in the dark and thin man's eyes.
"Well, because we are the Anti-Japanese United Army, we have to cross the river to fight the devils!"
Yin Xinjun said calmly, his eyes fixed on the man's face.
I saw surprise in the dark and thin man's eyes.
"Really the Anti-Japanese Alliance?"
"Haha, it's true. We ambushed the Japanese convoy again today!"
"I heard about it! Come quickly, I'll find a few more boats to go with you!"
"Thank you! What's your name?"
"Tan Wang!"
Yin Xinjun turned and left. He walked only 500 meters, listening patiently.
Soon, Yin Xinjun smiled, and Tan Wang went to find someone to help. The fishermen here really wanted to help the Anti-Japanese United Army.
He had already made up his mind. If anyone had ulterior motives, he wouldn't mind killing them and seizing the ship.
Two hours later, all the troops arrived, and Tan Wang found two large boats and three small boats for everyone!
In this way, it took four trips to get all the people and horses across! This was mainly because Kang Huaifu brought too much baggage! There were more than ten carriages!
When Yin Xinjun jumped off the boat, he handed Tan Wang a package.
"Take it, Lao Tan. Open it when you get home. I'll look for you when I come back!"
South Bank of Songhua River,
The topography of Bin County is very different from that of Mulan.
There are mostly hills and mountains here, which is especially suitable for guerrilla warfare!
After crossing the Songhua River, the soldiers took off their Japanese and puppet army uniforms!
The reason we came here is to do something in a big way to boost the morale of the people in the anti-Japanese war!
At noon the next day, the team arrived at a small village called Qiaojiatun.
There are only a dozen households in the village.
Seeing the arrival of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, they were almost boiling with excitement.
Every household slaughtered pigs and chickens and took out the best food to treat the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
This place used to be the area where the Anti-Japanese United Army was active. The common people who had been bullied by the Japanese and puppet regimes had been longing for the Anti-Japanese United Army to form.
In the room, Yin Xinjun was smoking.
While studying the map of Binjiang Province as usual,
"Lao Kang, this Bin County still belongs to Binjiang. It's 80 miles west from here!"
Kang Huaifu was cleaning his box gun.
"Yan Wang, my goodness, you are planning to attack the county again. Let me tell you, Bin County has a city wall!"
"What's there to be afraid of about the city walls? We have artillery! I tell you, only by attacking the county town can we create a positive impact and deter the reactionary rule of the Japanese puppet regime!"
"Okay, I understand. You never stop?"
"Quiet? There is no way I will let the devils live a peaceful day. So, I will go to the county town for reconnaissance now. You take the troops and set off after dinner. At about 12 o'clock at night, you will gather at Xinlitun outside the west gate of the county town!
We will start the attack at 1am, and then we will work together from inside and outside!"
Yin Xinjun pointed to a place on the map!
Kang Huaifu asked,
"We'll come back after we finish fighting in the county?"
"Well, after the fight, we'll turn around and head back to Zhuhe and advance toward the lower reaches of Mudanjiang!"
Yin Xinjun understood that the attack on the county town now still had to be mainly a night attack, which would also facilitate retreat. Otherwise, the enemy's reinforcements would come quickly and hold on to you tightly!
"Okay, how long will we fight this time?"
After each attack, the two would agree on a time, and they must retreat after the time was up. This was also an iron rule!
"From the map, there is no train service in Bin County. Even if reinforcements arrive by car from Harbin at night, it will take at least two hours. We will retreat after fighting for two hours!"
After talking with Kang Huaifu, Yin Xinjun called Ding Shan over again.
"Ding Shan, you lead everyone to act at night. We will meet at the East Gate at 12 o'clock. If I take the city gate, I will use the flashlight to signal you! If you can't see the signal, wait for the city to be in chaos and charge in!"
"Got it! Master!"
After lunch, Yin Xinjun set out on his journey, riding his horse towards Bin County.
Relying on a road permit purchased for 10 yuan, Yin Xinjun easily entered the county town.
He strolled around slowly.
The county town’s city wall is about 5 meters high. It is said to have been built during the Ming Dynasty and was later reinforced.
There was a Japanese military camp at the east gate of Bin County, with about 120 Japanese soldiers inside.
In addition, there were also a small number of Japanese soldiers and police living on the city gates and walls! Less than 30 people!
At the south gate of the county, the Bin County Japanese military police and garrison shared a building! There were about 20 people in the building!
The rest are just a few policemen and spies, and it’s impossible to tell them from the others!
The main enemy was the barracks at the east gate. Yin Xinjun walked into a small hotel and rented a room to rest.
It’s a pity that there are no telephones now and the means of communication are backward, so we have to run around to get any information!
