Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Ye Zhonghua paused, then continued:

"Secondly, our cooperation with you is based entirely on personal willingness. You can understand them as Chinese people who sympathize with you. There is no political color. In addition, you cannot tell anyone about the weapons and equipment, otherwise our cooperation will be terminated immediately!"

Yuanshan could fully understand Ye Zhonghua's concerns, so he readily agreed. His next task was to establish a liberation brigade in the true sense.

"Captain Yuanshan, I have a suggestion. Since you have decided to build a regular army, you must have uniform military uniforms. The cotton cloth and cotton are all given to you. As for the style of the uniform, you can choose it yourself!"

"Well, now we are all wearing herders' clothes. Many herders think we are bandits or stragglers, which is not conducive to the development of our team!"

"Brigade Commander Yuanshan is very far-sighted. If you need any help from us, just let us know. From training to supplies, we will do our best to meet your needs!"

"Thank you so much, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of all my Mongolian compatriots!"

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and then went about their business.

Ye Zhonghua came to his own yurt, and then asked the accompanying communications soldier to report the results of the first phase directly to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Very good, assimilating them slowly like this is still too slow. The next step is to give Yuanshan a chance and let them take the initiative to invite us in!

Send a telegram to Captain Ye, and tell them to speed up the process. Time waits for no one, and we can’t let the polar bear recover.”

After receiving the order, Ye Zhonghua started working without stopping.

Wang Meng walked to Li Yunlong's side and knocked on the sand table.

"Old Li, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Although the situation may not be that bad, we still have to make a final plan.

If Country E expresses strong protest, how should we respond? "

Li Yunlong raised his head from the sand table and said:

"If Country E strongly recommends it, then we can just call it quits. Why bother with it so much?"

"Hey, just do it, I like it!"

Wang Meng chuckled, and then sent a telegram to Zhang Dabiao of the Second Army of the First Army, ordering him to take immediate action.

There was only an independent infantry regiment of the Japanese in Erlianhot and an Erlianhot guard, a total of 3,000 people. For an army, it was really a bit of a burden.

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao ordered the 104th Armored Division, the 105th Armored Division and the 106th Infantry Brigade to surround Erenhot from the east, west and south.

"Commander, why did we leave a gap? Aren't we going to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops?"

"What do you know? This is a strategy, just follow the orders!"

Two armored divisions and one infantry brigade surrounded Erenhot in a C shape, leaving only one exit in the north.

The Japanese soldiers in Erlianhot thought the situation was not right. Why did the independent column surround them but not annihilate them?

The Japanese panicked and immediately ordered one of their battalions and the Erlianhot Guard Regiment to break out to the east in an attempt to break through to Xilingol.

Hitting an egg against a stone!

It is obvious that how could an infantry battalion plus more than a thousand puppet soldiers be a match for a fully equipped armored division?

The highest commander of the Japanese army stationed in Erenhot, Colonel Kazuo Kawasaki, now has no place to cry.

"Baga, if it weren't for those people from the North China Front Command who were fighting for their so-called glory, we wouldn't be suffocating to death here!"

Before the Second Army surrounded the enemy, the legendary general Yixiong had sent several telegrams to the headquarters of the Front Army in China, requesting a quick decision on whether to retreat immediately towards Xilin Gol.

However, considering that retreating without firing a single shot would damage the honor and image of the empire and bring discredit to the invincible Imperial Army, Okamura Neiji decided to delay the battle.

After the encirclement is completed, we will have no choice but to engage in a decisive battle with the independent column.

"I know the fate of this isolated army, but now the empire has reached the most critical moment, and morale must not be relaxed. When the empire wins, we will solemnly commemorate you!"

The legendary Kazuo, who was thousands of kilometers away in Erenhot, naturally knew nothing about Okamura Yasuji's promise.

He now has to consider the future of the entire team.

"Captain Kawasaki, can we break through to the north?"

In fact, this is also the question that Kazuo Kawasaki has been thinking about. He can't figure out why the independent column would have a gap in the north.

It is obvious that they were not negligent or lacked manpower, but deliberately left a loophole for them to escape. Could it be that they were vegetarians and praying for Buddha?

"It seems that the Independent Column is deliberately pushing us to the north, but why? Is there an ambush in the north?"

“Captain Kawasaki, even if there is an ambush in the north, we have to give it a try. Otherwise, there is only one outcome for staying in Erenhot: being killed by the artillery of the independent column!

When we were charging just now, we could see that the artillery of the independent column seemed to have been deployed!"

Kazuo Kawasaki's mind is in a mess now. The behavior of the Independent Column has clearly dug a pit for him to jump into, and he wants to jump into it willingly!

This is so fucking bullying, and it’s blatant bullying!

"Conspiracy, no, this is an open conspiracy!"

Kazuo Kawasaki decided to sit back and wait for the independent column to make the first move.

Zhang Dabiao who was outside the city was also convinced. If the people who were surrounded were the damn puppet army, they would have run away long ago. How could there be a regiment of Japanese devils here?

"How many enemies were wiped out in this charge just now?"

"Report to the commander. We just cleaned up the battlefield and found over 200 Japanese corpses and over 100 puppet soldiers!"

Zhang Dabiao seemed not to believe his ears and took the paper from the staff officer's hand.

"What? The puppet army's bodies were less than the Japanese?"

"Well, the puppet troops ran too fast. They all ran away before they could make contact with us!"

"As expected of a puppet army!"

No matter what Zhang Dabiao says or how much he fuss about, the issue he is currently facing is still that of Erenhot.

The problem is how to make the Japanese and puppet troops obey orders and retreat to the north.

"Order the 75mm infantry artillery to fire at Erenhot to give the Japanese a warning!"

Sure enough, the 75mm infantry gun began to fire at the headquarters of the Yuan Dynasty Japanese invaders and the puppet army's horse farm according to the calibration.

Ma Datou, the captain of the Erlianhot Guard Regiment, ran to Kazuo Kawasaki, crying and sobbing.

"Captain Kawasaki, our horse farm was bombed by the artillery of the independent column! There are heavy casualties. We should break out quickly. I'm afraid if it's too late, we will all die here!"

"Horse farm? Let those horses die. I'll only use them when you escape anyway!"
