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

In March in the Northeast, the snow is still very thick.

The temperature at night was minus ten degrees.

Relying on the compass and map for guidance,

The two rode as fast as they could and arrived at the place at about 3 a.m.

After resting for a while and eating some dry food,

The two men carefully surveyed each section of the road from Mulan County to Dongxing Town.

Soon, the two arrived at the forest area.

This road passes through the woods and is more than 1 kilometer long!

The two continued along the forest road towards Dongxing Town.

Kang Huaifu suddenly pointed to both sides and said,

"Stop, this is nice!"

Yin Xinjun got off his horse and saw that there were steep slopes on both sides of this section of the road, more than three meters higher than the highway.

"Lao Kang, do you mean to ambush on the hillside?"

Kang Huaifu nodded and pointed excitedly at the slope.

"Look, the soldiers are lying in ambush in the woods above. When the Japanese come, they will rush out and throw grenades down. The Japanese on the road will definitely be killed or injured!"

Kang Huaifu is indeed a veteran who has experienced many battles. Especially when the firepower of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces was insufficient, he was more interested in studying how to choose an ambush site.

Favorable terrain can greatly make up for the gap in firepower!

Yin Xinjun also pointed forward.

"Lao Kang, I'll set up two machine guns there and just fire them like this. Haha, add your grenades, and even if the Japanese come with 200 people, they'll be finished!"

Kang Huaifu nodded in praise.

"Yan Wang, you have a good eye. I have two machine guns here. Put them there too!"

"Lao Kang, let's find a few people with good marksmanship to climb up the big tree on the hillside and look down from above! Then the Japanese will have nothing to do but cry!"

"Oh, King of Hell, you and I are thinking the same thing!"

"Let's do it this way. I'll lead the machine gun team to intercept the front, and you'll be in charge of the flank attack!"

The two of them continued their journey and checked until they were almost at Dongxing Town.

The two took out their binoculars and carefully observed the direction of the town.

"Sentry box, three policemen!"

“There are actually two bunkers!”

The distance was too far, so Yin Xinjun could not hear any information, but he could observe through the telescope that there was a bunker on each side of the east and west of the town!

Kang Huaifu frowned, thinking of various plans in his mind, but he was not sure about any of them. He estimated that the casualties would be heavy!

"It's a bit troublesome. There are two bunkers and we don't have any heavy weapons!"

Yin Xinjun smiled and said,

"Lao Kang, it's okay, leave the bunker to me! You just need to think about fighting the reinforcements!"

The last time Yin Xinjun used Molotov cocktails to attack the bunker, he felt the effect was pretty good, and he wanted to try it again.

"That won't work. There are only 40 people in my group, and I don't know how many reinforcements will come. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat!"

Kang Huaifu was a little anxious. No matter which link he was in, he couldn't do without the King of Hell.

"It's okay, I'll take down the bunker first, and then I'll go over to help!"

The two discussed for a while and started their return journey!

******

Baoqing County, Sanjiang Province

In a secret camp in the woods,

The surrounding area was full of anti-Japanese fighters armed with live ammunition.

Some of them even hid in the trees, keeping a close watch on the surroundings.

In a wooden house in the secret camp,

On the stove in the middle, some sweet potatoes were roasting.

Several people sat together.

Their expressions were very solemn.

A deep voice sounded,

"Comrades, today we are holding a combat meeting of the Second Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces!" The speaker's tone was so serious and solemn that everyone present could not help but straighten up and listen attentively to the next instructions.

"First of all, I have good news for you all. After many hardships, the Central Special Advance Team has successfully arrived in Northeast China. More than 200 comrades have joined the First Army in South Manchuria. The First Army also plans to dispatch a special agent regiment with the latest radio to head towards us next month. This is the information I just learned!"

There was thunderous applause in the meeting hall.

Many people's bodies trembled violently, and their exhausted faces instantly glowed with dazzling light. They stared ahead with wide eyes, their faces filled with indescribable excitement and joy. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and all fatigue was thrown into the air.

All along, the anti-Japanese fighters who were isolated behind enemy lines fought bloody battles and fought desperately with the enemy. However, during the long years of fighting, they always longed for instructions and support from the Party Central Committee. Now, this long-awaited news has finally arrived, how can it not make people excited and boost morale!

The comrades shook hands and hugged each other, tears in their eyes. They knew very well what the Party Central Committee's attention meant - it was an affirmation of their heroic struggle and a firm support for the cause of the Anti-Japanese United Army.

"Comrades, there is another piece of bad news. According to the intelligence obtained by the comrades of the 5th Army in Mulan County, the Kwantung Army has gathered a large number of troops to attack us. According to the instructions of the Jidong Provincial Party Committee, our Second Route Army must jump out of the encirclement and develop to the Shulan and Wuchang areas in the west!"

"It's very difficult. We are facing a great shortage of food and ammunition. The enemy has ten times more troops than us and has set up several blockades! There are many dangers along the way!"

"Leaders, comrades in Mulan County reported that the Japanese and puppet forces there were weak, and a group of bandits took down the county town! Therefore, there is great potential for development behind enemy lines!"

"Comrades, after the crusade at the end of last year, our Second Army now has less than 3000 troops left. Please go back and prepare for mobilization. We will be ready to assemble in May, and then concentrate our main forces on the westward expedition!"

Dongjiangtun, after lunch,

The sound of gunfire continued to ring out.

Members of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and the Yama Team began live-fire shooting training.

Ma Shun, San'er, and Wang Hua squatted together.

It was a bit jaw-dropping.

The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers quickly used up their 30 rounds of bullets each, but the bandits over there were still shooting!

Ma Shun said,

"You said this bunch of bandits are just like local tyrants. How come they have endless bullets every day?"

There was a trace of unwillingness in San'er's eyes.

"Look at them, they eat and drink delicious food everywhere, and if they don't have money, they just rob. We are nothing like them, with so many broken rules!"

Wang Hua asked, "San'er, where is the captain?"

"It seems like he and the King of Hell are out for something!"

"He didn't even take you with him?"

"With Yan Wang here, everything will be fine. Dealing with a dozen Japanese soldiers will be no problem!" Ma Shun said affirmatively.

That day, Yan Wang and his men raided the Japanese cavalry. Ma Shun saw it all clearly. Yan Wang's bullets hit the target every time, and he killed almost one person with every shot!

At the entrance of the village, a sled came rushing over.

On the sled, Kang Huaifu, who was lazily lying at the back, looked at the bandits practicing their marksmanship and suddenly sat up.

When the sled stopped, he jumped off immediately.

"San'er? Why aren't our soldiers shooting?"

"Captain, you only approved thirty rounds, and we've already finished firing!"

Kang Huaifu scratched his head, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.

"Add 20 more rounds! We still have plenty of bullets!"

Yin Xinjun parked the sled and walked over.

"Lao Kang, now that the plan has been decided, I'm afraid that the longer the night, the more trouble we'll have. Why don't we just do it tonight?"

When Yin Xinjun thought of the tragic scene in the mountain stronghold, he became extremely furious and was now eager to fight!

"Okay!" Kang Huaifu said without any hesitation, and even felt a little excited.

This was Kang Huaifu's first time participating in a battle of such a large scale!

The two sides together had less than 60 people, but they dared to ambush hundreds of enemy troops!

But what Kang Huaifu found curious was that the King of Hell did not seem nervous at all, but instead looked very confident!

Yin Xinjun took out a cigarette and handed one to Kang Huaifu.

"Lao Kang, we will set out after dinner tonight. We will split into two groups. I will take the lead in attacking the town at three in the morning. After the battle, I will come back to assist you in the ambush!"

"Three o'clock?"

"Well, it's probably dawn by the time the county's reinforcements arrive at our ambush site!"

"An ambush at daybreak? Wouldn't it be better to do it in the dark?"

"We have strong firepower, and daybreak is actually in our favor!"

What Yin Xinjun was confident about was the abundant ammunition in his hands, whether it was 7.92mm Czech machine gun bullets or 6.5mm Type light machine gun bullets, they were all extremely abundant!

Especially with a large number of grenades! This time, let the Japanese taste the firepower of a critical strike!
