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

Heixiazigou,

As night falls, everything is quiet.

The Second Army's base.

It's steaming hot,

On the table there was a large pot of braised pork trotters, a large pot of braised chicken nuggets, a plate of cabbage and tofu, and a few boxes of canned fish!

Chai Shirong from the Second Army, Li Yanping specially invited Yin Xinjun and Kang Huaifu to come over for a drink today.

After the sorghum wine was poured,

Kang Huaifu took a big sip, smacked his lips, and exclaimed,

"The wine we brew ourselves in our base is really strong!"

Chai Shirong smiled and said,

"Drink more tonight. The King of Hell is back and we finally get to spend some time together!"

Yin Xinjun said apologetically,

"Bosses, I'm too busy. I just came back to attend a training class, and I have to spend time with my wife and children at night. The time for rest is too short!"

Chai Shirong sighed,

"Since I came here, there has been no fighting for several months. To be honest, I don't want to leave after living such a comfortable life!"

Yin Xinjun asked curiously,

"What's wrong? Are you guys leaving?"

Chai Shirong's face was somewhat gloomy. He nodded.

"Commander Zhou sent someone to contact us, asking us to return to the base as soon as the weather warms up!"

Commander Zhou, like Commander Yang, is the supreme commander of the Second Army!

"Base? You want to go back to the Second Route Army's base?" Kang Huaifu was also surprised!

Li Yanping said,

"Yes, we plan to return to Baoqing and Fujin within a week. After all, Commander Zhou is still there!"

Yin Xinjun understood that at this time, the situation in North Manchuria was still grim. Both Commander Zhou's Second Route Army and Commander Zhao's Third Route Army were struggling to hold on.

"Two bosses, how many people are there in your Fourth and Fifth Armies now?"

Li Yanping said,

"Total number is now more than 2800. It is a little less than last year, but compared to the Western Expedition, it is much stronger!"

Yin Xinjun said,

"These past few days, I have also scouted the surrounding situation. The Japanese army in Dunhua in the south has gathered more than 40,000 people, and the Japanese army in Mudanjiang and Ning'an in the north has gathered more than 50,000 people. There are so many devils, and they are constantly increasing their troops. They have surrounded the base area! It will be difficult for you to retreat to the north!"

Chai Shirong said sincerely,

"That's nothing. Although the Japs have a lot of people now, they are all concentrated in the towns, leaving the vast countryside empty. Our reconnaissance company has already found out the situation. There are more than a thousand Japanese troops stationed on the railway line between Hailin and Hengdaohezi. It shouldn't be a big problem for us to rush over at night!"

Chai Shirong said this, hesitated for a moment, and showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Yan Wang, the devils may have some conspiracy now. If we leave, you will be under too much pressure!"

Kang Huaifu raised his head and took a big sip.

An indifferent look,

"It's easy. If we can defeat them, we'll fight. If we can't, we'll run away! Let's fight a guerrilla war against the devils!"

Yin Xinjun was also thinking,

During this period, he launched many night attacks on the Japanese troops from Ning'an to Malian River in the north, but unfortunately the effect was mediocre!

First of all, the Japanese army has become smarter now. They live together with the civilians in large numbers, which makes it impossible for Yin Xinjun to use the 150 heavy artillery!

Secondly, even when they were attacked, the Japanese army used the closed-door tactics at night. The most exaggerated thing was that last time, in Chunyang Town, Yin Xinjun destroyed two bunkers outside the Japanese town. As a result, the Japanese soldiers in the town stayed indoors and were not moved at all. It was not until dawn that they divided their troops and began to search and counterattack!

This made Yin Xinjun feel overwhelmed!

Fighting during the day was not his strong point, so he usually tried to avoid it. However, at night, changes in the Japanese army's tactics meant that he was unable to annihilate the enemy in large numbers like before!

Yin Xinjun thought for a long time and said slowly,

"I have a suggestion. Since the Second Route Army is about to withdraw, how about we fight together one more time before we leave?"

Chai Shirong hesitated for a moment, and thinking of the great help that the King of Hell had given him, he immediately said,

"No problem, how do you say we fight?"

Yin Xinjun took out a map and pointed to a place.

"Wenchun Town!"

Chai Shirong was startled.

"This place is located between Mudanjiang City and Ning'an County, and is surrounded by heavy troops!"

Yin Xinjun nodded and said,

"I know that there are more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Wenchun Town! However, don't worry, our troops are in high spirits now, and many of them are veterans. In terms of heavy firepower, we are not inferior to our opponents at all!

Moreover, night combat will be our trump card. Our troops are now very proficient in night combat and have annihilated the enemy many times in night combat!

However, the Japanese army is unwilling to fight us at night, and because they have suffered many night attacks from us, the Japanese army and the residents in the town are now living together, which is quite a headache! "

"Live together? How do you live together?" Wang Guangyu asked.

"According to my reconnaissance, the Japanese army is currently stationed in five or six scattered locations in the town, with more than 200 people in each location. The barracks and railway stations on the outskirts of the town have all been given to the puppet army. This means we have to fight street battles!"

Yin Xinjun has recently conducted reconnaissance in Wenchun, Ning'an and other places. After discovering this, he felt that the Japanese were now like turtles, retreating into their shells!

Chai Shirong said,

"That's easy. I'll arrange for local comrades to conduct another reconnaissance. If that doesn't work, mark out where the Japanese troops live. That way, we won't have to worry about a night battle!"

Yin Xinjun was overjoyed.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"It's not a problem. Local organizations are very active now. Since we won several big victories, more and more people have begun to serve us secretly!"

Yin Xinjun continued excitedly,

"My consideration is that if we occupy Wenchun, since there are roads and railways here, two bridges across the Mudan River, the Japanese army will definitely launch a counterattack. We can seek opportunities to annihilate a large number of enemies in the wild!"

For Yin Xinjun, his best fighting style is the night attack, coupled with the rapid fire of mortars! Only by mobilizing the Japanese army out of the city can there be a chance to annihilate the enemy in large numbers in the wild!

Kang Huaifu said proudly,

"The night temperature is above zero now. It's no problem for the soldiers to hide and launch a night attack. I think it's possible. You, Lord Yan, can arrange the specific fighting method. Our regiment of more than 2000 people will obey your orders!"

Seeing Chai Shirong and Li Yanping nodding in agreement, Yin Xinjun continued,

"The terrain of Wenchun Town is actually quite suitable for ambushes. I have scouted the surrounding area and found that there are many mountain peaks and dense jungles around, which is also convenient for concealing troops.

Let's get ready first and gather around Wenchun tomorrow night. The night after tomorrow, I will personally lead our troops and Captain Kang to launch a surprise attack and occupy Wenchun!

After taking down Wenchun Town, we will occupy the surrounding commanding heights including Wenchun East Mountain, Mao Mountain, Laohei Mountain, and Banshi Mountain. In this way, we won’t have to fear the enemy’s attack from the north and south!

We only need to hold out for one day, and at night, we will launch a counterattack as appropriate. Of course, the purpose of this battle is not to occupy Wenchun, but to annihilate a large number of enemy troops on the northern front and break the enemy's encirclement. Since they have not moved yet, we will move first!"

Passively taking a beating is not Yin Xinjun's habit. Even though Jingpo Lake is facing encirclement and suppression from the Japanese army on both the north and south fronts, Yin Xinjun will still frequently take the initiative to attack the enemy's manpower!

"Okay, let's get ready and set off for Wenchun tomorrow night!"

Yin Xinjun said,

"There are at least two benefits to attacking the enemy on the northern front. The first is that after the battle of Wenchun, the Second Route Army can take advantage of the situation and jump out of the encirclement directly to the north. The second is the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces that Captain Kang has been talking about. We will take the initiative to attack and look for the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces before the end of this year!"

Kang Huaifu stood up excitedly.

"Yan Wang, really?"

"Of course!"

Yang in the South and Zhao in the North, for Yin Xinjun, these are the two heroes he respects the most. The south has been out of danger for the time being, and it’s time to start things in the north!

The biggest difficulty is that we don’t know the exact location of Commander Zhao and his men!

Chai Shirong picked up the bowl.

"King of Hell, I respect you, and the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces thank you!"

"Let's work together and toast to the final victory!" said Yin Xinjun.
