Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

After sending the message, Wu Gan sat on the tiger skin bed, looked around and said, "Everyone, the situation is urgent. The Japanese entered our territory without our permission. If we do nothing, the Japanese will think we are afraid of them. Don't you agree?"

One of Wu Gan's men echoed, "What the chief said is absolutely right. We must teach those Japanese a lesson. Remember the last time they entered the territory of Wurigeng Dalai Lama, we worked together to annihilate their entire cavalry brigade. Hahaha, that battle was such a pleasure."

Another of Wugan's men added, "My Lord, I think we should send scouts to investigate the enemy's situation first, and then make plans. At the same time, we can ask for help from Wurigeng Dalai's tribe and other nobles to jointly resist the foreign enemies."

Wu Gan nodded and said, "You are right, so I sent the message before you came."

At this point, Wu Gan pondered for a moment and then said, "But your first suggestion is also very good. We must find out the specific strength of the enemy and their purpose before sending troops. Otherwise, if our reinforcements do not arrive and I attack blindly, I may suffer losses.

And to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let the old people and children hide outside the tribe and take our lambs with them. We won’t give even a single wool of our lambs to the Japanese. Hahahaha!”

"Hahaha!"

Wu Gan's men laughed along, then quickly took action, mobilizing troops and preparing to meet the enemy.

  ·············

At the same time, Japanese troops were gathering in the Tongliao direction.

The Japanese will not let go of Duanwu and the Chunjianghao guerrillas.

Earlier today, the Japanese reconnaissance plane appeared over Duanwu's convoy.

On the unobstructed grassland, the Dragon Boat Festival convoy is like a signpost.

Therefore, the Japanese headquarters immediately ordered the Japanese troops in the Tongliao direction to rush to intercept.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight just penetrated the mist and shone on the Japanese army camp, the devil's assembly horn broke the morning tranquility.

The cavalry units were the first to respond. They were dressed in uniform, with helmets and riding boots, and sat astride tall Japanese horses, looking very majestic.

Then, the tanks of the mechanized infantry regiment were awakened like sleeping beasts. They made a deafening roar, shaking the entire camp.

These huge steel machines slowly drove out of the camp, their tracks rolling heavily over the grass, making a low and powerful sound. The sound echoed in the morning air, as if the earth was wailing.

As the assembly was completed, the Japanese troops began to advance slowly.

The cavalry troops served as the vanguard. They galloped on their horses, the sound of their horses' hooves was like thunder. Every time they landed, they stirred up clouds of dust. The dust rolled and danced in the morning light, and finally gathered into a black storm, sweeping across the entire grassland, heading towards the western region with an indomitable momentum.

The Japanese mechanized infantry regiment followed closely behind, with the tanks maintaining a tactical formation that was tight yet not crowded. They were like giant steel dragons, winding forward on the grassland.

The entire Japanese army was marching towards the western region with great momentum, like a group of beasts driven by hunger.

And they have only one goal, which is to eliminate the Chunjianghao guerrillas headed by Duanwu and completely destroy this anti-Japanese force.

Of course, Duanwu had anticipated the Japanese interception. When the Japanese reconnaissance plane appeared over their sky, he had already anticipated it.

Moreover, at this time, Duanwu had no way to deal with the reconnaissance plane flying overhead.

They had no anti-aircraft weapons.

The anti-aircraft machine guns that were removed from the Japanese warships had already used up all their bullets in the previous battle. Anti-aircraft machine guns can not only shoot down aircraft, but also cause great damage to ground targets.

If possible, Duanwu really wants to get a few more guns and set them up on the grassland to sweep away the Japanese.

In that case, let alone the Japanese, even if the Japanese tanks came, it would be useless. The anti-aircraft machine guns could definitely penetrate the Japanese's thin turtle shell.

It's just a pity that they don't have it now. Even if they have a heavy machine gun, it's not easy to lift it high.

Moreover, since the Japanese planes had a very good field of vision, they did not need to fly at low altitudes, which made it even more difficult for Duanwu to attack.

Duanwu was thinking hard about what to do, but at this moment, bad news came: the truck was out of gas.

Although there are only a few, this is definitely not good news.

Moreover, the other vehicles were running low on fuel. Ma Pingan even speculated that even if they abandoned some of the vehicles, they would not be able to survive until they got out of the grassland.

Without the protection of vehicles, they could hardly move on the grassland.

On the one hand, they had to guard against interception by the Japanese, and on the other hand, they had to guard against Mongolian cavalry.

These Mongolian nobles were very xenophobic.

Of course, they don't reject all outsiders, but they don't like those with guns. If ordinary people come to Mongolia as guests, they are welcome.

But they were soldiers with guns, and the Mongol cavalry would drive them out of their territory.

Moreover, before this, Duanwu had seen several horses often appearing near the caravan.

They don’t come close together, but stay a kilometer or two apart, and move away when they see a vehicle.

But this is not a good sign.

Duanwu felt that they were being targeted by Mongolian cavalry. It was very likely that a large number of cavalry would appear at some point and surround them.

Therefore, especially at times like this, Duanwu cannot abandon the vehicle.

If they didn't have enough vehicles for cover, they would be a piece of meat on the grassland.

Thinking of this, Duanwu ordered: "The cars without gasoline should take some out of other cars. We should hold on a little longer. It would be best if we could find a Mongolian to ask and see if we can reach some kind of agreement with them."

Ma Pingan said: "Those Mongolian nobles are very stubborn. If we negotiate with them, I think they will ask for too much."

  Duanwu smiled bitterly and said, "Now is not the time to worry about these things. Our enemy is the devils, not these Mongolian cavalry. Moreover, the northern part of Inner Mongolia has been occupied by the devils. I think these Mongolian nobles are probably angry in their hearts!

So I think we should have a chance. And how can we know if we don’t try some things? "

Ma Ping'an nodded helplessly. He thought Duanwu was right. Their enemy was the devils, not the Mongolian cavalry. If necessary, it would be a good idea to give them some benefits in exchange for a way out.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, the western sky suddenly darkened, as if a dark cloud was pressing down, it was the Mongolian cavalry! (End of this chapter)
