Chapter 108 The Team Sets Out
At noon the next day, according to the result agreed upon by the two parties, both parties set out.
Yin Xinjun led the team to set off first.
About an hour later, Kang Huaifu led his troops and set off!
Yin Xinjun's special forces all changed to war horses, and Li Zengxin drove a carriage full of supplies! He got a sled for a mountain. After all, he was still in the recovery stage and it was not convenient for him to move. He let Menzi hold the sled and take care of a mountain. It was all his fault!
Kang Huaifu's troops behind had about 50 cavalrymen and more than 80 infantrymen, carrying 4 horse-drawn carriages and 5 sleds!
Since there were not enough horses, many people had to walk, and the team moved very slowly. This march was indeed not well prepared.
But Yin Xinjun can't wait any longer. He has stayed in these two small villages for too long. Once the enemy gets the intelligence, they will pounce!
Now I can only replenish it as I go!
In the afternoon of the next day, a town appeared in front of them. It was a place that Yin Xinjun was very familiar with, Mingui Town!
I don't know how many times I have come here. Yin Xinjun remembered that there were people selling horses and carriages in this town. He planned to buy some for Kang Huaifu behind him! This way, the team will be more mobile!
Seeing Yin Xinjun observing with a telescope, Ding Shan asked,
"Master, are we going into town?"
"Of course!" Yin Xinjun smiled. He would not go around the town like the Anti-Japanese United Army did. If he had a flat-fire cannon, he would dare to swagger into the county town!
The town was still the same as before, with no sight of Japanese puppet troops or police. After all, the Northeast was so large that the enemy could not send so many troops to occupy every corner.
Especially under Yin Xinjun's continuous attacks, most of the police in Mulan County were almost wiped out! The control power was even weaker!
Ding Shan raised his hand and rushed towards the town with Daniu and Xiucai!
Yin Xinjun arranged for Wang Hao to lead men to guard the intersection and wait for Kang Huaifu's arrival.
He followed Ding Shan slowly towards the town, keeping his ears perked up, closely monitoring every move in the town.
This town doesn't have a town government, it's actually just a relatively large village. Because it's located on a major transportation route and close to the mountains, many loggers and collectors of mountain delicacies come here to rest, making it more and more lively!
More than an hour later, Kang Huaifu and his troops arrived. He looked at Wang Hao and asked,
"Hades of Hell has entered town?"
"Captain, the King of Hell wants you to come over too. He's buying horses for you!"
In the inn, Yin Xinjun took out four gold bars and a stack of banknotes. This time, he bought all the horses here in one go, a total of 56 horses, and seven carriages!
The owner of the inn was grinning from ear to ear. He met a big buyer today and he refused to bargain!
"Qi'er, when will the horse be given to you?"
"Feed me first, and prepare the saddle and other things, I'll be there for them in a bit!" For a novice riding a horse, it is best not to put on stirrups, as that would be very slow!
As soon as Yin Xinjun turned around, he ran into Kang Huaifu.
"Yan Wang, how can I be so embarrassed to make you spend money again!"
"Lao Kang, you guys are so slow. It will be troublesome if the Japanese catch up with us!"
Kang Huaifu turned around and said a few words to San'er, who ran to notify each company to come and get their horses!
The two walked side by side on the street.
"You are really brave. You are not afraid of Japanese people in the town."
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it. We have nearly 200 people in total, so we can give it a try even in the county!"
Looking at the passers-by, Kang Huaifu said with some worry,
“Is there any traitor here?”
Yin Xinjun looked nonchalant.
"We are not afraid of traitors. If the Japanese come after us, we can ambush them! Haha!"
In his heart, he even hoped that the Japanese would catch up with him so that he could have another great fight. After all, only by annihilating the enemy in large numbers would he have more chances to survive!
Now, with heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, explosive packs and many other powerful weapons in his hands, Yin Xinjun couldn't help but become a little arrogant!
After buying the horses, Yin Xinjun took Kang Huaifu to a tailor shop and ordered several flags of different sizes.
According to Kang Huaifu, their army’s flag was a red flag with three yellow stars, indicating that it was the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces!
Yin Xinjun pasted the New Year picture of the King of Hell on the flag.
Because the two troops were fighting in coordination and had no means of communication, they needed to frequently use flag signals to communicate with each other!
Suihua County, Japanese Military Police Detachment,
The reason why it is called a detachment is because the military police here are under the jurisdiction of the Sun Wu Military Police of the Kwantung Army!
The main task of the Kwantung Army's Sun Wu Gendarmerie was to conduct reconnaissance on the Soviet Union and suppress local anti-Japanese resistance elements!
Two Manchukuo police officers walked into the gate of the gendarmerie with a man dressed like a farmer.
They went straight to the office of Lieutenant Nakamura, the head of the military police detachment.
"Captain Nakamura, I have a situation here and I need to report it to you!" The speaker was Shigejiro Noda, deputy director of the Suihua County Police Station!
"Noda-kun, what's going on?"
"This man is from Erliban Village. He saw several mysterious armed men and women coming to the village!"
Nakamura looked at the farmer.
The farmer bowed his head and said,
"I also went to visit relatives with my wife a few days ago, and I saw several people in the village with guns on their waists. When I asked, I found out that they were all from other places!"
After listening to what the translator said, Nakamura's eyes showed surprise. As the captain of the gendarmerie, he recently received a report on the enemy situation in Mulan County from above, and the entire county began to strictly investigate armed resistance elements!
Since Suihua is located in the core area of the plain and is densely covered with railways and highways, the Japanese army can mobilize heavy troops at any time and its rule is very powerful!
The Anti-Japanese United Army here has disappeared for more than a year. It has been peaceful for too long, which makes Nakamura feel unfulfilled!
"Yoshi, gather the troops, let's go and take a look together!"
Although there are only more than 20 military police in Suihua County, they are under the jurisdiction of more than 100 police officers and secret agents!
Nakamura led the team personally, mobilizing more than 50 people, riding on more than 30 horses and two trucks, and rushed towards Erliban Village with murderous intent!
Northeast China in spring is like a fickle child, sometimes warm and sometimes cold! The cold wind hits your face like a knife, the pain is unbearable, as if you are stabbed by thousands of needles at the same time.
The snow on the ground has gradually begun to melt, and the whole earth is white and black.
Five hours later, at the entrance of Erliban Village,
A group of gendarmes, police and secret agents surrounded the village!
Then, under the guidance of the farmer, Noda Shigejiro brought more than a dozen policemen to the door of a house!
There was a knock on the door,
An old man came and opened the door.
Noda Shigejiro waved his arm violently, and several policemen who had been standing behind him on standby for a long time rushed into the house like hungry tigers, but the house was already empty, with no one in sight.
Noda was furious. He rushed forward and slapped the old man twice. He then pressed his black gun against the old man's forehead and asked fiercely, "Where did everyone go? Tell me!"
Facing this sudden scene and the ferocious Noda, the old man was so frightened that he trembled all over and stammered, "I... I really don't know where they went..."
"Bastards! Didn't they leave any words behind?" Noda continued to question with his eyes wide open.
"No...no, I just often hear them mention a place called Mulan County..." the old man said tremblingly.
"Mulan County? When did you leave?"
"Left last night!"
With a bang, Noda pulled the trigger!
After returning to the village, Noda reported to Nakamura,
"They left last night, but we made a major discovery: this group of people should be from Mulan County!"
"Mulan County? Yoshi, could it be the King of Hell?"
Nakamura was so excited that he kept pacing around like a monkey, his eyes gleaming with greed and desire.
He seemed to have foreseen the glorious moment when he would make great achievements and receive rewards. After careful consideration,
He suddenly stopped and said confidently: "They will definitely choose to head south when they return to Mulan. We must not let the cooked duck fly away! Everyone, follow me and continue the pursuit!"
