Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Northeast of Yeonshe County,

A small village called Wenquanli,

More than 50 Korean People’s Army soldiers crowded into a room. They sat upright, holding pens and notebooks, and listened carefully to Yin Xinjun’s lecture!

Their expressions were very serious, with desire and excitement flashing in their eyes. They cherished this training course very much!

When I heard about artillery training,

Even Choi In-deok and Lee Sang-gu came in person! They knew that this was a great opportunity for the People's Army to improve its combat effectiveness.

This was also the first artillery unit of the Korean People’s Army. Originally, the two guns allocated to them only required the training of 16 people, but in the end, 53 people actually came!

However, this was exactly what Yin Xinjun wanted. He led his troops here not to capture cities but to ignite the flames of the war of resistance.

His goal is to train and support a people's army with strong combat effectiveness.

In this way, more Japanese troops can be tied down and consumed!

Along with the artillery training, there was also driving training, and thirty soldiers from the People’s Army also came!

After capturing Yanshe County last night, he also got a piece of spoils he had always dreamed of, a map of Korea that Tang Yantian found in the county governor's mansion!

He studied it carefully. At present, they are in the northeast of North Korea, and Yin Xinjun's combat plan is limited to Hamgyong Province. Even if they attack southward, they can only reach Xinyang County at most.

Then they will make a U-shape and return to the country. The entire operation will focus on assisting the People's Army in expanding its military and training!

After all, he had been away from Jingpo Lake for too long. Although the straight-line distance on the map was only 220 kilometers, it would take at least two or three days to go back if he crossed the enemy-occupied area!

There was the sound of horse hooves outside the house.

A People's Army officer hesitated at the door, but waved to Choi In-guk.

Cui Renguo hurried out.

"Battalion Commander, based on mutual reports, we have now captured more than 800 spies, traitors, and traitors who served the Japanese!"

"More than 800 people?"

"Yes, how are we going to prepare dinner tonight? It will take a lot of food."

Cui Renguo was not concerned about food, but was shocked by this number.

There were so many hostile elements in Yeonsa County, a county with a population of over 10,000, not counting the fake police and the Koreans who joined the Japanese army!

His face flushed with anger.

When he returned to North Korea, what shocked him the most was that Japan seemed to have already regarded this place as its own country! And a large number of North Koreans were willing to accept this situation!

Reporting on each other, this shady trick was of course taught to him by Yin Xinjun,

Yin Xinjun felt that this place was rotten to the core, and the Japanese colluded with local dignitaries to oppress the people at the bottom! So he felt it necessary to instigate Cui Renguo to use an iron fist to deal with the enemy!

"Kill all these traitors!"

Cui Renguo gritted his teeth and said,

"Yes!" The man said goodbye and left!

All these conversations fell into the ears of Yin Xinjun who was giving a lecture.

He glanced at Choi In Guk who was returning to his seat with admiration.

I really didn't misjudge him.

In troubled times, severe punishments are used. There is no other way.

This is human nature. Most people seek profit and avoid harm. Only when they find that their backers are under a greater threat, will they waver and look for new backers!

The two-hour class is over.

Cui Renguo walked up to Yin Xinjun and respectfully gave a detailed report on the situation in the city!

This made Yin Xinjun even more satisfied.

The people he supports must first be capable, and secondly, be loyal and obedient!

Only in this way can we maintain a high degree of consistency with him and implement his intentions and propositions!

"Old Cui, you don't need to tell me a lot of little things. In the next few days, you should arrange for the troops to join forces with Tang Yantian and his men to attack the surrounding areas. Our next target is Xinyang County!"

"Xinyang County?"

"Yes, you have to be prepared. In five days, we will launch an attack on Xinyang County!"

Cui Renguo just felt a kind of breathlessness, the pace was too fast!

"Yan Wang, I will send people to Xinyang County for reconnaissance tomorrow!"

Yin Xinjun smiled with satisfaction.

"Lao Cui, just focus on expanding the team and training. Don't worry about supplies and equipment. As long as we capture the city, all problems will be solved!"

The capital of North Korea,

Governor's Office,

In the conference room,

The Governor-General of Korea, Minami Jiro, the Commander of the Korean Garrison Army, General Nakamura Kotaro, and the Commander of the 19th Division, Lieutenant General Hata Shigeichi, all looked grim!

A senior Japanese police officer was reporting there.

"According to the intelligence from our police department, these thugs have successively killed 117 soldiers of the Imperial Garrison, 14 members of the Military Police Detachment, 196 police officers stationed in Yenshe County, and also killed the county magistrate Yoshino Nobumasa!"

"Thugs?" Lieutenant General Hata Shigekazu showed a puzzled look in his eyes!

"It's not clear where these people came from, but we know that they are all wearing the uniforms of imperial soldiers!"

Nanjiro turned his head and looked at Nakamura Kotaro and said,

"Commander, go back and check if any North Korean soldiers have escaped from any unit!"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Governor, I have already sent someone to investigate!"

Hata Shigeichi showed a look of contempt.

"These North Koreans are not trustworthy at all, they can only do hard labor!"

Nanjiro gave him a cold look.

"Nonsense! If we don't conscript Koreans, the Empire won't have enough people to fight in the war!"

Although Nanjiro was the governor-general of Korea, he was a veteran of the Japanese Army. When he lost his temper, Shigekazu Hata immediately stood up.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Governor, I'm so superficial!"

Nanjiro said,

"This is the first time such violent resistance has occurred since the merger of Japan and South Korea. Commander Nakamura, you must take measures to eliminate this group of thugs as soon as possible!"

The door of the conference room suddenly opened.

An officer came in, walked up to Nakamura Kotaro, and reported:

"Commander, I just received a report that the Army Aviation sent out four aircraft for reconnaissance today, and one of them was shot down by ground artillery fire at the border of Jingcheng County and Yanshe County!"

Hata Shigeichi was sitting nearby and heard everything clearly. His heart immediately tightened because in the morning, he had just given the order for the Kawakami Battalion stationed in Hamhung City to set off for the Yeonsa County expedition!

Shigeichi Namada reported immediately,

"Commander, how could the enemy have anti-aircraft guns? This is incredible. Isn't it too few for us to send out only one battalion?"

Nakamura Kotaro was also unsure.

"Then send another battalion, plus draw troops from Musan, Chongjin, Baekam, Sinyang, Hwasong and other places, that should be enough. After all, there is only one division in the whole of North Korea, and many places need to be guarded!"

Nanjiro slammed the table and almost yelled,

"I don't care how many people you send, you must wipe out all of these rebels within half a month!"
