Hulan River,

Nanshan, Hekou Village,

After taking Lanxi, Ding Shan led his troops here and set up his headquarters here.

Tang Junping and Yuan Canhai's teams were stationed on the east and west banks of the Hulan River respectively.

inside the house,

Ding Shan, Yuan Canhai, Tang Junping, Xu Zemin, and Kang Huaifu were smoking there, eagerly waiting for Yin Xinjun to come back.

There was a large table of chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table. Yuan Canhai opened three bottles of white wine in one breath.

Ding Shan said, "With a powerful enemy at hand, everyone can only drink one bowl!"

But Yuan Canhai said,

"It's a great occasion, and the leaders of the Anti-Japanese United Army are here too. We've finally gathered together, so one bowl won't be enough. We need at least three bowls!"

Ding Shan was a little unhappy.

"We are now on the front line. Master said that during the battle, each person can only drink one bowl of wine at most!"

Kang Huaifu smiled and smoothed things over.

"The two of you should stop arguing. Two bowls each. Old Yuan, you can drink a lot, so I'll give you one more bowl. Is that ok?"

The door banged and was pushed open.

Yin Xinjun said apologetically,

"I'm late. I encountered a small incident and was delayed for a while!"

Kang Huaifu laughed and said,

"I've been waiting for you to start the meal. Let me introduce you. This is Captain Xu of the 12th Detachment, and also my old comrade-in-arms from the Third Army!"

This was the first time Xu Zemin and Yin Xinjun met each other today. He quickly stretched out his hands.

"Hello, King Yan, I have heard of your great name for a long time! Today I finally get to see your true face!"

"You're welcome, Captain Xu. We are all comrades in the same trench. Come on, you must be hungry. Let's go to the table and eat!" Yin Xinjun said!

Although there are so many guests,

But there were only four bowls on the table.

A pot of dried vegetables stewed with tofu, a pot of braised pork, a pot of braised chicken, a pot of shredded potatoes and pork,

Ding Shan has always been frugal. When it comes to eating, what he hates most is waste.

Tang Junping was afraid that there wouldn't be enough food, so he ordered people to open a few more cans of food!

Kang Huaifu picked up the bowl and said first,

"Let's celebrate, we have captured two counties in one day!"

Everyone picked up their bowls and took a big sip!

Among the people at the table, only Xu Zemin was shaking with excitement. Two county towns were recovered in one day, and now the number of county towns in North Manchuria has reached five. This result was something that they had never dared to think of before!

Xu Zemin said,

"Before, the Japs chased us and beat us up every day. Now, the situation has been reversed and we chased the Japs and beat them up every day! Haha!"

Tang Junping said,

"With tanks and armored vehicles, we can go wherever we want in winter. The Japanese will have no way to defeat us on horseback!"

Yin Xinjun said,

"From now on, our main battlefield will be in this plain area. There is a large population and abundant food here, which will also facilitate our development of the team. Therefore, everyone should learn more about the characteristics of armored forces and mechanized warfare. When I have time later, I will hold another training class!"

Yuan Canhai was excited when he heard this.

"Commander, when are you going to take us to Harbin? We have conquered so many counties, but we have never conquered a big city!"

Tang Junping also said,

"That's right. We can go all the way south from Harbin to Xinjing, which is the base camp of the Japanese and the headquarters of the Kwantung Army!"

Kang Huaifu's mind was still relatively clear.

"Come on, our strength is still in the early stages of development. With so few people, we should forget about conquering a big city. When we have 10 troops, we can consider it later!"

Yin Xinjun also added,

"In big cities, there are many civilians, which can easily lead to accidental injuries. Even if we take them down, how to manage them is a big problem. It's a bit early to consider this matter now. However, I plan to mainly operate in Harbin, Xinjing and Fengtian after the beginning of next spring, and take advantage of the mobility of our armored forces. This way, we can mobilize the main force of the Japanese army and relieve the pressure on the Jingpo Lake base!"

While drinking, Yin Xinjun wondered why the Japanese army had not mobilized its main forces to attack until now. However, he soon stopped thinking about this troublesome problem. No matter what tricks the Japanese devils played, they blew up the Binbei Line railway bridge today, and the next step would be to occupy Suihua. Let's see what tricks the Japanese devils in northern Manchuria can play.

In the end, the severe cold is still the main problem. In such a cold season, it is very difficult to mobilize large troops and provide logistical support, which is very costly! This difficulty is even more fatal to the Kwantung Army that relies on the railway line!

Everyone only drank two bowls of wine in the evening, and in front of Yin Xinjun, even Yuan Canhai, who was addicted to alcohol, did not dare to drink more. Everyone left and went back to the house to rest!

Yin Xinjun declined Kang Huaifu's invitation to stay overnight. Before leaving, he specifically instructed Ding Shan that the reconnaissance of Suihua County must be thorough, not to act hastily, and to report any situation immediately!

Suihua County, Fujiadian Village,

In the room, a large bowl of meat scraps and cabbage was eaten up by the soldiers. Tian Zhiyong also ate eight cornmeal steamed buns with shredded pickles!

Xu Hengzhi looked at the young man in front of him with gratitude. After some chatting, he learned that the man's name was Fu Jinqiao and he was a member of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association!

My father was also a big landlord in the village, his name was Fu Zhenghai.

When the Japanese came, my father was the village chief. He was a traitor in name, but he was still polite to the villagers!

Fu Jinqiao, who hated the Japanese devils since he was a child, was an out-and-out anti-Japanese element!

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to survive tonight!" said Heo Hyung-sik.

Fu Jinqiao brought a pile of old clothes.

"Look at what you said, Chief of Staff Xu. You are the real heroes of the Anti-Japanese United Army. You risk your lives every day to fight the Japanese. Let the comrades change their clothes!"

"By the way, Jinqiao, are there any devils around here?"

"No, there were two policemen living in our village, but they suddenly quit their jobs a few days ago and ran away, haha!"

"He ran away. What happened?"

"I heard it's because the King of Hell has come!"

"The King of Hell is coming?" Xu Hengzhi became excited when he heard it. He knew about the events at Jingpo Lake. At that time, the Third Army Headquarters had specifically conveyed the opinions of the Russians, and he was also present!

"How do you know the King of Hell?"

Fu Jinqiao took out a flyer and handed it to Xu Hengzhi.

"This is the news from Harbin. This is the flyer I posted. Our National Salvation Association organized everyone to post it! I didn't expect that it would scare the police away!"

Xu Hengzhi took the flyer and his face showed excitement. The more he read it, the more excited he became.

"Yan Wang and his men have occupied the Sanzhao area?"

"Yes! There is new news every day. North Manchuria is in chaos now, and the Japanese forces are shrinking towards the county town!"

"Great! You guys in the National Salvation Association must also pay attention to safety!" Heo Hyung-sik reminded kindly!

"The president of the Suihua County branch told me that many members of the National Salvation Association in the Sanzhao area joined the Yanwang and Anti-Japanese United Army!"

The two chatted for a while, and the soldiers changed into new clothes. Fu Jinqiao took them to an empty house in the village.

"Chief of Staff, no one lives here. I've arranged for someone to heat the kang. You can stay here! I'll have someone bring food over tomorrow morning!"

When Xu Hengzhi and others stepped into the house, they saw a sign on the table against the wall in the main room, which read!

"First, examine Ding Changgen's spiritual position!"
