Chapter 125 Battle of Pearl River (1)
Kang Huaifu slept soundly.
Because they also seized several tents in the tribe!
The curtain is opened!
Just like sleeping in the house.
There were only two people in his little tent, him and San'er!
When I woke up, it was already evening.
He touched his belly and it was growling with hunger!
"San'er, do you have any dry food?"
San'er took out a big cake,
"Captain, please eat something!"
Kang Huaifu finished his pancake and walked out of the tent.
Looking at the soldiers around who were eating dry food and chatting,
Kang Huaifu was a little excited. The army had more than 200 people! This was the first time he led so many subordinates!
As far as I can remember, their entire division had only about 300 people at most, and that was more than a year ago!
Kang Huaifu went over and greeted today's new recruits with concern. In the tribe, there were actually 6 women joining the army today!
It can be seen that the Japanese have brought such harm to everyone that they would rather die on the battlefield than live like this again!
It’s a pity that there are still more than 20 people without guns!
Kang Huaifu decided to go find the King of Hell. Since he had no supplies, he was used to going to the King of Hell!
He came to the special forces' tent.
He opened the curtain, but strangely, he didn't see the person he was looking for.
"Where is the King of Hell?"
Wang Hao saw the old leader and said hurriedly,
"Yan Wang went hunting. He should be back soon. He's been gone for about an hour!"
It’s already the end of April and the wild animals in the forest are becoming active again!
After a while, Yin Xinjun returned to the tent carrying a wild boar weighing about 100 pounds. It was already dark by then!
"Li Zengxin, stew some meat for everyone tonight! And cook some rice!"
Yin Xinjun gave Li Zengxin a task, asking him to cook in the tent at night!
In this way, no fire can be seen outside!
Fortunately, the tent is big enough and I can free up my hands and feet!
The team members all came out of the tent to help. Li Zengxin came to the carriage and took out two large pots!
Some people were slaughtering pigs, some were cutting vegetables, and some were moving the stones and wood that had been prepared in the afternoon into the tent!
Yin Xinjun came to Kang Huaifu's place and put two small roe deer on the ground when he entered the room.
"I knocked him out with a stick, and I'll give him a snack tonight!"
After saying that, he took out four boxes of Japanese beef cans from his bag!
Kang Huaifu was not polite and picked up a box to eat. There were not many canned food in the group, and they had started to control it! If you don't eat it, it will be a waste!
"Lao Kang, you are familiar with Zhuhe. Tell me about the situation in this county!"
Although they were pretending to hunt just now, there were mountains and forests all around here, so Yin Xinjun only scouted back and forth for a few kilometers and did not run too far!
"I've been to Zhuhe County twice. The county town is not big, with only one central street, the Wuzhu River running north and south, and cemeteries all over the north!"
Yin Xinjun took out a map.
“Looking at the map, it looks like there’s a railway running through the county!”
"That's right, the Binsui Railway, from Harbin to Suifenhe, the railway line in Zhuhe is very long!"
Yin Xinjun's eyes lit up. If the railway was torn down, the damage would be even greater!
"Lao Kang, let's just tear up the railway!"
"It's easier said than done. The Japanese have set up tight defenses on both sides of the railway, with barbed wire fences, and garrisons in important towns and villages along the way. In addition, the Japanese railways are equipped with armored trains! Patrols are coming and going every day!"
"Armored train? Is it amazing?"
"It's very powerful. There are heavy machine guns and small steel cannons on it. Last time, one of our regiments got some explosives and wanted to tear up the railway, but it ran into an armored train. In less than an hour, most of the regiment was killed or wounded!"
Yin Xinjun nodded continuously.
"Lao Kang, I wonder if there are many Japanese troops in Zhuhe County?"
"There shouldn't be many. Generally, the Japanese like to station troops along the railway line. Anyway, they are not afraid. Reinforcements will arrive in two hours at most. Whether it is Harbin in the west or Mudanjiang in the east, the train can arrive in four hours!"
Kang Huaifu pointed at both ends of Zhuhe County!
Yin Xinjun suddenly had an idea. The current situation was that the Japanese army was attacking in the lower reaches of Mudanjiang and Sanjiang area at the same time!
Then the Jidong Anti-Japanese United Army should be in the lower reaches of Mudanjiang River! And the North Manchuria Anti-Japanese United Army should be in Sanjiang!
If we can make a name for ourselves in Zhuhe, we will surely attract the Japanese army to dispatch troops from all over to attack us!
"Lao Kang, we must have attracted the enemy's attention now!"
"Of course not. After attacking several counties in a row, I think the Kwantung Army can't sleep anymore!"
"Lao Kang, let's just mess with him in Zhuhe for now. You will lead the troops to attack the group tribe first, and then attack the county town. I will cut off the enemy's railway line. My idea is to cut off the railway line in the east and let the enemy in the west in!"
Yin Xinjun was making gestures on the map!
Kang Huaifu understood immediately.
"This way, we can reduce the pressure on the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in Mudanjiang. When all the enemies come to us, we can jump out!"
Yin Xinjun nodded and said,
"Well, let's see if we can wipe out part of the enemy, and then we can leave!"
The two discussed some details and decided to act separately!
That night, both sides set out separately.
Kang Huaifu headed southeast, aiming for Zhuhe County, while Yin Xinjun headed southwest, heading straight for the Binsui Railway!
Harbin, Fifth Garrison Headquarters,
Major General Ando Rikichi is holding an emergency meeting.
More than a dozen Japanese and puppet military and police officers of all levels sat together!
There is a blackboard in front of the big conference table.
Written on the blackboard were the words King of Hell, Kang Huaifu!
A Japanese lieutenant colonel was reporting,
"According to the current comprehensive summary of the various situations, this group of enemies is composed of two parts. One is Mulan's bandit Yanwang group! The other is the Anti-Japanese League's leader Kang Huaifu's group! The total number should be around 200 people!
The two have now joined forces and frequently attacked military targets in Mulan, Suihua, Binxian, Zhuhe and other places!
Judging from their marching route, they may be heading south to look for the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces' First Army! At present, their location is unknown. We have already dispatched aerial reconnaissance, but have not found any definite traces of the enemy!"
This lieutenant colonel is the chief of staff of the 5th Garrison Command, Lieutenant Colonel Takeo Kurisu!
Ando Rikichi's face turned pale.
He just learned that due to the sharp deterioration of the public security situation in Harbin, the rank of lieutenant general originally intended to be awarded to him has been postponed! This rank of lieutenant general is a prelude to being promoted to division commander!
He looked at everyone present coldly, then slowly opened his mouth.
"Everyone, Commander Ueda has assigned me a new position today, the captain of the Binjiang Province Suppression Team! He wants me to mobilize all the forces stationed in Binjiang to fight against the enemy group led by Yan Wang Kang Huaifu!
As everyone knows, the Empire's campaign in Sanjiang and Mudanjiang regions has entered the most critical juncture. However, in order to strengthen our campaign force, two infantry battalions of the Second Division and two battalions of the Fifth Garrison in Sanjiang region were withdrawn and all used in this campaign!
Now I order the Gaoqiao Battalion of the Second Division to enter Weihe County, the Ito Battalion of the Garrison to enter Zhuhe County! The Chiba Battalion to enter Bin County! All units must report any traces of the enemy as soon as they discover them, and do not act rashly! The Manchurian military and police forces in all places must obey orders!"
