War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 118 I really can't count! (Thanks to 'Langya Wendao' for another 1500!)
In November 1931, when the entire Northeast was in trouble, Inner Mongolia was also suffering.

On November 11, the puppet Mongolian adviser Matsui led more than a thousand Japanese troops and several thousand puppet Mongolian troops to attack Tongliao from the Xiaohe Aobao and Shebutu areas in eastern Mongolia. Li Haidan, a famous anti-Japanese general stationed in Tongliao at the time, used the speed of the Mongolian cavalry to disrupt them, and sent troops to attack from both sides, fighting with the Japanese and puppet Mongolian troops for four days and four nights, and finally saved Tongliao.

On the 27th, the Japanese, who were still unwilling to give up, launched another attack on Tongliao. On the 29th, Liu Zhenyu received news from Li Haidan that reinforcements were coming. Li Haidan led his troops to attack the Japanese invaders from the west, and Liu Zhenyu attacked from the east and north, and once again the Japanese invaders returned empty-handed. In the two battles, more than Japanese invaders and puppet Mongolian troops were killed!
In early December, the Japanese army launched a more fierce offensive against Tongliao. Tanks and armored vehicles continued to attack the city under the cover of aircraft. When Matsui launched the third general offensive, after two days and nights of fierce fighting, Liu Zhenyu and Li Haidan were defeated and fled.

On December 12, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers from the Yushan Regiment raided Li Haidan's unit, which had retreated to Yuliangbao, forcing this famous anti-Japanese general to be defeated again due to lack of supplies...

At this point, Li Haidan felt that he could not fight like this any longer. He had to replenish ammunition and manpower, so he led his troops to Kailu.

In the first month of 1932, the allied forces of Li Haishan and Liu Zhenyu counterattacked Yuliangbao after receiving reinforcements. On the 16th, Li Haishan and Liu Zhenyu fought a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders in Longjiao Bay for a whole day and night, and finally killed more than 300 enemies, captured 11 Japanese invaders, and seized more than 200 guns and 30000 bullets.

On the 19th, Li Haidan knew that Song Jing would never give up after the defeat in Yuliangbao, so he set up an ambush with Liu Zhenyu in Yuliangbao again, and requested the 9th Brigade of the Northeast Army stationed in Kailu to join the battle to prevent the enemy from escaping to the west. This battle thoroughly demonstrated the bloodiness of the grassland people, killing 380 enemies, seizing two heavy artillery pieces, two light artillery pieces, and more than rifles.

When the 9th Brigade of the Northeastern Army continued to pursue the remnants of the enemy and prepared to expand the results of the battle, Li and Liu redeployed their forces and began to recover lost territory. Among them, Yuliangbao, Molimiao, Caojiayingzi, Shebutu and other places were all recovered, but the main city of Tongliao was still in the hands of the Japanese invaders.

Helplessly, Tongliao City was strong and the Japanese artillery was powerful, so Li and Liu could only wander around the grasslands and lobby various tribes to raise troops in order to prepare for the future recovery of Tongliao.

Of course, they did not know the history, and did not know that after September, they would follow the famous anti-Japanese general "Gao Wenbin" to raise troops to Tongliao to recover the lost territory. Unfortunately, human flesh was still unable to withstand the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks, and they could only retreat to Kangping in defeat with regret.

How unfortunate!

But now it’s not even September yet, how lucky it is for Xu Chaoyang and his friends!

Because Li Haidan and Liu Zhenyu are currently lobbying the grassland tribes in the area closest to Heilongjiang Province in eastern Inner Mongolia, and Tailai is known as the 'cock crowing in three provinces', which means that the crowing of chickens in Laitai County can alarm Jilin, Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang Province. If it weren't for this geographical advantage... these two groups of people might never meet in this life.

"Commander!"

Outside Tailai County, a group of people looked at the county town from afar, sitting upright with their brows furrowed.

On the road from outside Tailai County to here, a group of horses were galloping with their hooves raised. On the horses, a man in Mongolian costume held the reins in one hand and the whip in the other. He moved with the ups and downs of the horses and soon rushed over!

"Commander, these are not the devil's reinforcements!"

The man sat on horseback and clasped his hands together and said, "It should be that the Japanese and another group of people were fighting in Tailai."

Li Haidan sat on his horse and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out: "Tai Lai...what's there to fight about?"

It was just like when Li Haidan went to ask for help, all the tribes on the grassland asked in confusion: "Why does the Japanese want to attack Tongliao?"

Liu Zhenyu thought about it and shouted, "Send a fast horse to bypass Tailai and continue to explore. Send two more people to run a little further along the railway. If they can see clearly whether there is a train coming, report immediately!"

The two of them appeared here to see if there were any Japanese troops from Heilongjiang Province entering Inner Mongolia to aid Matsui. Although their battlefield was in Tongliao and their main defense was Fengtian, if there were Japanese troops in this direction, the consequences would ruin all their efforts for so long. Besides, they had already borrowed troops here, so why waste the effort to take a look?
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they encountered the sound of gunfire from Taylor. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw someone sneaking along the lake outside the city, killing the watchdog, and then rushing into the city.

As Li Haidan galloped out again on his horse, he looked at his spy and asked, "What else did you see?"

"There are iron-shelled turtles and devils in the city... uh..."

"Say!"

"There was also a man and a woman blocking the gate with machine guns."

Li Haidan and Liu Zhenyu were both stunned. They had been fighting for such a long time, but they had never heard of a couple blocking the city gate with machine guns.

Li Haidan raised the whip in his hand and swept the spy's shoulder with the lightest force: "When did you learn to tell stories?"

The spy put one hand on his chest and swore, "Batel will never lie and will never lie."

Liu Zhenyu stopped Li Haidan and asked, "How many Japanese are there in the city?"

Bater stretched out his hands, broke off his ten fingers one by one, and suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Commander, Bater really can't count!"

puff.

Liu Zhenyu laughed out loud at that time. He knew that the young man in front of him couldn't count. He used all his fingers to count but only found '9'. How could he count then?
With a smile, Liu Zhenyu looked at Li Haidan and asked, "What do you think?"

"I should help, but..."

He turned around and looked at the Mongolians behind him reluctantly. These were the young men he had just borrowed from various tribes. If they were to lose their jobs during the battle of Tongliao, they would accept it, after all, that was what they came here to do. But if they had to fight a battle in Tailai, what would that mean?
Seeing Li Haidan's hesitation, Liu Zhenyu asked another question: "If we help them get rid of the Tailai crisis, can they repay us by going back with us to conquer Tongliao?"

Li Haidan curled his lips in worry and asked, "What if they just light the stove and invite us to dinner, but don't talk about the attack on Tongliao? By then, we have rescued all the people, what else can we do to them?"

"Impossible." Liu Zhenyu replied: "The Northeast has been completely occupied. They dare not stay in Tailai after the war. Aren't they afraid of the Japanese counterattack?"

"They have to leave anyway, so I think it's better to ..."

　Thanks to 'Langya Wendao' for the 1500 reward again. It's too much. I just want to say all this... Thank you, thank you very much. I don't know what to say. I am very grateful.
