Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

"How can you be so flustered! What happened?" Zhao Wenyu looked obviously displeased. This was his intelligence officer, how could he be so flustered?

"The security forces are gathering their troops. Reliable intelligence shows that they are coming to encircle and suppress us!" The man looked panicked and sweating profusely. It was obvious that he was frightened because he was sweating so much in such a cold weather.

"How many of them are there?" Zhao Wenyu asked in a deep voice.

"Three...three...three divisions, plus...plus an artillery regiment and an independent cavalry regiment." The man spoke with a stutter.

Three divisions of troops, that's more than 30,000 people! And there are cavalry and artillery! Is this security army crazy? Is it necessary to spend so much money to deal with Jiming Mountain?

Everyone present gasped!

Xu Yan was secretly groaning in his heart. Wu Xiushan was really irritated. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss over a small Jiming Mountain?

Xu Yan, this is a bit too much, you beat the man to death in public and blew him up! Even if Wu Xiushan is unfilial, such a blood feud cannot be expressed without any expression!

Wu Xiushan, this old guy is really lucky. In such a dangerous situation, he actually escaped unscathed without even a scratch. He stayed with the old devil Mitsui Mori in the hospital for three days and three nights like a son. He figured out one thing!

He had to take action. His father was killed in the explosion, so he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. Moreover, destroying this extremely rampant Xu Yan would definitely be a big plus for him to take over as the governor! The bigger the momentum, the better. Jimingshan was at best a bandit like a dragon crossing the river! He had to destroy them with the force of thunder!

This is simply an armed parade!

Wu Xiushan decided to personally take charge and go to suppress the bandits to build up his reputation.

The huge team headed towards Jiming Mountain.

Xu Yan said in a deep voice: "Haha, this young master of the Wu family really thinks highly of our Jiming Mountain. What opinions do you have, please tell us?"

"What else can we do? Just fight! Are you still afraid of him?" Without waiting for Xu Yan to finish his words, Fang Tianlong stood up and slapped the table with his big hands.

"Don't you know how to fight? The key is how to fight! We only have so few people! We don't even have enough guns and ammunition! What can we use..." After a long silence, Wang Zhuguo took over the conversation, but he stopped talking before he finished speaking because he saw that the eyes of everyone present were filled with something unfriendly.

Especially Liu Kunyi and Liu Fengquan, they slammed their huge fists on the table with a clang.

Wang Zhuguo wisely chose to shut up!

"Alright, stop messing around. We need solidarity in the face of a powerful enemy! That's all for today, meeting adjourned! Fang Tianlong, Liu Kunyi, don't forget to write a self-criticism and hand it in to Political Commissar Chen when you go back!" Xu Yan glanced at everyone with a serious face, without showing any expression.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, two tall horses stood side by side on the top of Jiming Mountain. It was getting dark, and everything in the distance seemed hazy and vague.

"Commander, what are your plans? After all, the enemy is coming in full force this time. They are not just a Kwantung Army squadron or a reclamation corps."

"It's no big deal. In my eyes, it's no different. They are just hurdles we have to overcome!

The two people were Xu Yan and Zhao Wenyu.

"Did you find what I asked you to find?" Xu Yan suddenly asked with an expectant look on his face.

"I found it. I found a few of them among the supplies seized from the Kwantung Army. I also got a few from the former Dongning Army. But I took a look and found a big difference between the two." Zhao Wenyu replied quickly and took the opportunity to explain the problems he had discovered.

"These Japanese have been coveting this black soil for a long time, spying on everything about it. The things they secretly come up with are very detailed. I don't even need to look at what the Kwantung Army uses to be sure it's right! Those used by the Dongning Army are simply toilet paper!" Xu Yan replied with certainty.

"Let's go back. Send the map to my room." Xu Yan turned his horse around and went back.

Xu Yan's room was full of maps sent by Zhao Wenyu. The more Xu Yan looked at them, the colder his heart became. The Japanese maps were really detailed! Every ravine was marked for passability, how far away the water source was, how wide each bridge was, the capacity, the water level upstream and downstream, and where a floating bridge could be built were all marked. There were so many things like this, too many to mention!

How much effort was spent and how many spies were sent out!

On the other hand, looking at the map used by the Dongning military, Xu Yan is sure that you will get lost if you follow the map!

The Kwantung Army would not give such an important map to Wu Xiushan's security forces, Xu Yan thought secretly.

Xu Yan hasn't left the house for a whole day and night. The others are getting anxious. Zhao Wenyu is also getting a little impatient. All kinds of news are coming to him like snowflakes, and all of them are about critical situations!

Just received news that the vanguard of the security army has arrived at Tianbao Town!

Chen Keji, who was never in charge of military affairs but only of logistics, was also a little worried. So many enemies were no joke!

"What's going on with this commander? Should we fight or run away? We can't just wait here to die!" It was Wang Zhuguo again who couldn't help but speak.

"If you can't speak, just shut your mouth! If you can't shut it, I'll teach you to shut up!" Fang Tianlong stared at Wang Zhuguo fiercely, his eyes full of murderous light!

Wang Zhuguo was startled by the stare.

Suddenly, Xu Yan's door opened. Xu Yan stood at the door and said:

"Come in for the meeting." After saying that, he turned around and went back.

Several people filed in. The room was full of maps. There were maps on the walls, tables, and a few on the floor, but they had been torn into pieces by Xu Yan.

Xu Yan took a few maps, and the marks on them clearly showed that Xu Yan had studied them for a long time.

Xu Yan said directly:

"This time, the enemy is coming with great force. It would be a pity to waste all the equipment with just the ragtag group of the security forces! I have my eyes on these equipments. Everyone must be careful and serious when cleaning up the battlefield!"

Everyone was speechless. This commander really had a strange way of thinking. He was thinking about the other party's equipment before the battle even started! How could this be possible?

Without waiting for others to speak, Xu Yan continued, "Don't underestimate their three divisions. Due to the terrain of Jiming Mountain, they can't even deploy a regiment! It's useless to have eight divisions! For us, it's almost the same as one regiment! I'll give the order now!"

After Xu Yan finished speaking, he put on a serious expression, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I have decided to give up the outer towns of Tianbao Town, Ping'an Town, and Tiannan Town that we control!"

What! Give up? Everyone was stunned when they heard this!

Chen Keji was the first to refuse. "Commander, are we going to give up three towns just because you asked us to? We only have these three towns! You said we should give up? I don't agree!"

Zhao Wenyu didn't understand at all. What was Xu Yan trying to do? He just wanted to give up the territory he had worked so hard to develop? He looked incredulous.

"The commander has given up. What else can we fight for? Hide in this Jiming Mountain like turtles? Sooner or later we will be trapped to death in this mountain!" Wang Zhuguo said in a deep voice.

"Wang Zhuguo, you are the turtle!" Fang Tianlong immediately stood up and shouted.

"But Commander, what Brigade Commander Wang said makes sense. We can't just hide here, right?" After scolding Wang Zhuguo, Fang Tianlong also had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Let's move." Chen Keji suddenly said in the quiet room. It seemed so abrupt.

Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Xu Yan felt helpless. He had expected that some people would object, but he really didn't expect that everyone would react like this.

"I have made up my mind! If we save people and lose land, both people and land will be saved! I don't want to say more about this! Gather the troops and gradually abandon the outer positions!" Xu Yan said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at Xu Yan with a gloomy face. Xu Yan was not like this before. Such a stupid move should not be Xu Yan's real thinking!

Xu Yan stopped talking, stood up and walked out silently. He knew that he was gambling, but the stakes were a bit high!

He stood on the cliff, silently looking at the deep night sky in the distance. "Wu Xiushan, you took the initiative to provoke me, so don't blame me for being rude!"
