Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

On the vast Mongolian grassland, the sun is shining, the sky is clear, and a few white clouds are wandering leisurely.

In the distance, herds of cattle and sheep were leisurely grazing on fresh green grass. Occasionally, the sound of long pastoral songs could be heard, adding a bit of liveliness and harmony to this tranquil picture.

In this land full of vitality and freedom, Sayiya, the eldest daughter of the Wugan family, wears a colorful Mongolian robe and a silver crown inlaid with gems on her head, like the most dazzling pearl on the grassland.

She was leading her tribesmen to prepare a grand lunch in a busy and orderly manner, entertaining the Chunjiang Hao Guerrillas who had come from afar with the highest standards of etiquette.

Saiya's face was filled with a warm and sincere smile, and her eyes were full of respect and welcome for the guests.

She personally directed the tribesmen. Some were busy building white yurts as banquet venues; others set up large iron pots on the grassland, in which were boiling fragrant mutton and milk tea.

As the sun rose higher, the grassland gradually became lively.

The women brought plates of carefully prepared food, including freshly-cooked hand-pulled lamb, with golden and crispy skin and tender and juicy meat inside.

The fragrant roasted whole lamb has the skin roasted to perfection and exudes an enticing aroma.

There are also a variety of dairy products, such as cheese, milk skin, milk tofu, etc. Every food is a delicacy on the grassland.

The men were playing the horse-head fiddle on the side, and the melodious sound echoed on the grassland for a long time.

The children also ran around excitedly, holding flowers and Hada in their hands, ready to present to the guests from afar.

When the Chunjianghao guerrillas stepped into this grassland surrounded by enthusiasm and sincerity, they were deeply moved by the scene before them and felt the hospitality of the Mongolians.

But originally, Duanwu didn’t want to eat at Wugan’s tribe because they were in a hurry.

But when he saw the guerrillas swallowing their saliva when they saw the roasted whole lamb and the delicious food, Duanwu couldn't say anything.

What's more, the Wugan tribe had already prepared their food, and they couldn't refuse.

However, at this moment, Miss Saiya came over with a group of people, holding a white Hada.

Wu Gan immediately introduced Duan Wu and said, "This is Mr. Ye Xiuwen who defeated more than 20 warriors on our grassland. If he can stay, he will be the strongest warrior on our grassland. Hahaha!"

Miss Saiya, who is slightly taller than Duanwu, respectfully presented a Hada to Duanwu.

Tang Jiujiu's eyes rolled around. If she wasn't afraid of embarrassing Duanwu, she would have kicked that Saiya aside.

But at this time, Wu Gan introduced his daughter with great satisfaction: "Mr. Ye, what do you think of my daughter? Stay in my tribe, and you will become the king here."

Duanwu declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Chief Wugan. I still have to fight the devils. The Japanese have occupied our land and are acting recklessly. We must drive them out."

Wu Gan asked back: "What if they don't leave?"

Duanwu smiled and said, "Then kill them all."

"Hahaha, good, you are worthy of being a warrior who can defeat my personal guards."

Wu Gan laughed again, then ordered his men to take the rest of the guerrillas to sit down.

When everyone got off the truck, Wu Gan discovered that when they surrounded the convoy, the trucks that were surrounded at the innermost part not only had supplies, but also many wounded soldiers. Some of these wounded soldiers were covered in blood and could only lie on stretchers, unable to move.

  When seeing this scene, Wu Gan frowned slightly. With so many wounded soldiers, what kind of battles did the guerrillas have to go through before?

And what about these Japanese trucks? Did the guerrillas suffer so many casualties in order to seize these trucks?

Duanwu saw Wugan's confusion and said, "We have been fighting all the way from Lushunkou. Our destination is Songyuan in Jilin. We want to build a base there to deal with the devils."

Wu Gan knew the Songyuan area, which, along with the northern part of Inner Mongolia, had been occupied by the Japanese.

When Wu Gan thought about this, he became extremely angry.

Wu Gan said angrily: "The nobles of the grassland are not united enough, otherwise we can gather together and take back the lost land."

Duanwu comforted him, "Fighting a war is not something that can be done overnight. Let's take our time. And I have something else to discuss with Chief Wugan."

Wu Gan asked back, "What about the gasoline? Mr. Ye, don't worry. You are a warrior, and so am I. I, Wu Gan, keep my word."

Duanwu smiled slightly and said, "I'm not talking about this matter, but I will buy a batch of more advanced weapons and equipment. I'm afraid I will have to pass through the grassland of your leader Wugan. Please give me some convenience."

What Duanwu was referring to was the purchase of weapons from Markov.

Although this matter has not been implemented yet, Duanwu learned from Wu Gan that his territory extended to the northernmost part and directly bordered the Japanese-occupied area.

Therefore, it was impossible to purchase weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union through the Japanese-occupied areas, so they could only go through Wugan’s territory.

Wu Gan was startled at this time and asked, "Mr. Ye, is there a way to buy weapons and equipment? To be honest, my tribe is also short of weapons and equipment."

Duanwu smiled and said, "That's a coincidence. My channels are quite wide, and my weapons and equipment are advanced. But the price will be a bit higher."

Wu Gan asked, "Can I ask where you bought it from?"

Duanwu thought for a moment and said, "I don't think he will contact you. He will only contact me. But if you want weapons and equipment, wait for my news. I will definitely give you a very good price."

Wu Gan slapped his thigh and said, "It's settled. Hahaha. Mr. Ye, I'll give you all the gasoline this time. I, Wu Gan, am grateful to you for being my friend."

Duanwu shook his head slightly.

Wu Gan was stunned and asked, "You don't want to be my friend?"

Duanwu continued to shake his head and said, "Since we are friends, I can't ask you for gasoline for nothing. In addition, I will give you 200 more rifles and 10,000 rifle bullets to expand your armaments. Protect your territory and don't let the Japanese covet it!"

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Wu Gan laughed loudly, patted Duan Wu on the shoulder and said, "I knew that you, Brother Ye, are a real person. I have decided to make you my friend. Today we will become sworn brothers and share the glory and disgrace in the future."

Duanwu laughed and said, "I couldn't ask for more."

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Saiya, who was pouring wine for Wu Gan, secretly pinched her father's lower back.

Wu Gan looked at his daughter in astonishment, then he reacted and said with a silly smile: "Daughter, he already has a wife, and the couple is living happily together. We can't break them up, right?" (End of this chapter)
