Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

The setting sun slowly sank into the horizon like molten gold, and a brilliant and sad orange-red hung in the sky, dyeing the earth with a faint melancholy.

In this quiet and slightly cool evening, Duanwu is immersed in sleep, enjoying a rare rest time.

However, this tranquility was ruthlessly broken by a sudden, urgent and powerful report, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing waves.

"Report! The enemy's army is approaching, less than two kilometers away from the Wugan tribe!"

In his sleep, Duanwu seemed to have heard such a report, which woke him up directly.

Looking out the window of the tent, the last ray of sunlight in the sky seemed to dim at this moment, and it was obviously very late.

Duanwu felt that the Japanese seemed to be a little late, and at this moment, Wu Gan had hurried into the house.

He said impatiently: "Ye Anda, you are awake, that's great. The Japanese cavalry are now less than two kilometers away from us. But their cavalry did not charge forward, but kept following their main force."

Duanwu nodded slightly, then sat on the bed, thinking: "The Japanese didn't advance rashly, which means they are playing very conservatively, and they are not afraid that we will run away. They must have known the location of the herdsmen and are not afraid that we will run away."

At this point, Duanwu paused and said, "The Japanese should also know about our previous arrangements. This Japanese commander is very patient, and I don't know who he is."

Wu Gan helplessly spread his hands and said, "I really don't know. My informants can only estimate how many Japanese and puppet troops there are. As for their top commander, he is very mysterious. It is said that he is a general, but I don't know if it is true or not."

Duanwu said: "That may be true. He must be quite old to be able to keep his composure. Otherwise, they might head straight towards the herdsmen of the Wugan tribe and force us to fight him."

Wu Gan said angrily: "These little devils are really a group of insidious guys."

At this point, Wu Gan asked back: "Ye Anda, what should we do next?"

Duanwu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Let your people pack up and prepare to leave. We will go to the front of the devils and take a look."

Hearing this, Wu Gan laughed and said, "Ye Anda is really brave. He is not like those cowards. Well, I will go with you to see what these devils are capable of."

But when Wu Gan's sister heard our conversation, she tried her best to stop us. Because going in front of the devils, with only two of us, wasn't this crazy behavior?

But Wu Gan's cavalrymen didn't think so, and wanted to follow.

But I refused, because I would not be so reckless as to deliver myself to the Japanese. Instead, I wanted to test whether the Japanese were really that cautious and how they would react to the provocation of only two people.

The first reaction is that the Japanese continue to be cautious and dare not send people to pursue, which leads to a decrease in morale. The second reaction is that the Japanese send troops to pursue, and I plan to wipe out the enemy, which can also be used to hit the Japanese morale.

As for what the Japanese will do, it depends on what the Japanese commander thinks.

Duanwu had made up his mind. He patted Wugan's shoulder gently. They smiled at each other, and there was an inexplicable madness flashing in their eyes.

Then, Duanwu turned around and said to everyone, "Brothers, Brother Wugan and I will be the only ones to go this time. Too many people will easily attract the attention of the devils, which will be detrimental to our next move. You just need to follow the plan."

Wu Gan's sister wanted to argue, but Wu Gan stopped her with his eyes. He said to her gently, "Don't worry, sister. Ye Anda and I are both wise and brave. We know what to do. You can be our biggest support if you take good care of us."

After that, Wugan strode towards the horses, followed closely by Duanwu. They each jumped on their horses, Wugan whistled loudly, and the two rode away, heading straight for the Japanese army in the east.

As the distance shortened, the Japanese army became clearer and clearer, but at this moment, a sudden storm swept across the grassland, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder roared.

The Japanese army seemed a little confused in the storm, the cavalry camp was blown away, and the Japanese on the troop carriers were blown to and fro.

Even some of the tarpaulins on the Japanese baggage were blown away.

Especially those puppet soldiers, they came on foot and were already exhausted, some of them were even blown out of the team by the hurricane.

Duanwu and Wugan also had to dismount and just stood there holding the reins, chatting casually, not taking the Japanese army several hundred meters away seriously at all.

"Ye Anda, this is how it is on the grassland. It may be sunny before, but in a moment there will be strong winds and thunderstorms. And the wind is strong, hahaha! The wind today is indeed a bit strong."

Wu Gan laughed heartily, not caring at all about the sudden storm.

Duanwu smiled slightly and said, "Wugan Anda, do you want to go take a closer look?"

"what?"

Wu Gan didn't quite hear it clearly, but at this time Duanwu had already mounted his horse and rushed towards the Japanese army.

Wu Gan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly followed with laughter.

The two men, one in front and one behind, were like two moving lightning on the grassland, rushing straight towards the Japanese army.

The sentries in the Japanese army soon noticed the two sudden figures. They were surprised at their courage that they could rush towards them despite facing thousands of them.

What do they want to do? Are they here to get killed or to deliver information?

For a moment, the Japanese sentries were at a loss as they were not sure whether the other side was an enemy and could only report to their superiors.

The Japanese commander had no time to guess the intentions of the newcomers. No matter whether they were sending death or delivering a message, they must not be allowed to get close to the army. He immediately ordered a cavalry squad to intercept them.

However, Duanwu and Wu Gan did not stop even though they saw the Japanese cavalry squad coming to intercept them.

Duanwu and Wugan rushed over directly.

The Japanese cavalry squad was a little panicked. The other side suddenly accelerated, which must be their ill intentions.

Some Japanese soldiers began to point their guns, but at this moment, Duanwu had already pulled out the pistol from his waist, aimed at the Japanese soldiers and opened fire.

With a scream, a Japanese cavalry sergeant fell down. His figure drew a sad arc in the air and finally fell powerlessly into the dust, becoming the first victim of this battle.

At this moment, the wind on the grassland seemed to freeze, while Duanwu and Wugan continued to charge towards the other Japanese cavalry with a fearless attitude! (End of this chapter)
