Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2378 Entering the Japanese-occupied area!

When the dust of the battle settled, the Mongolian cavalry began to clean up the battlefield busily and orderly.

Under the light of the burning Japanese truck, the most sincere and simple smile of every Mongolian cavalryman was reflected.

Victory made them proud, and the spoils of war on earth made them happy.

Some cavalrymen bent down to pick up weapons and equipment on the ground and wiped them clean carefully.

For them, these trophies are not only a help in their future battles, but also a symbol of bravery.

They could take these spoils back home and proudly tell their families and even their children, "Look, this is what I captured from the Japanese!"

So at this moment, they cherished every piece of spoils.

Other cavalrymen inherited the custom of their ancestors and took the heads of the enemies back home. They then left them to their descendants and told them how brave their ancestors were and how many heads they had chopped off. This inspired their descendants and made them admired heroes.

After collecting the spoils, some Mongolian cavalrymen lit a bonfire at the edge of the battlefield, eating air-dried beef jerky and drinking the unique kumis of the grassland.

They laughed loudly and talked about the thrill of the battle just now. The firelight shone on their youthful faces. Even the great leader Wu Gan felt a little envious.

At this time, Chief Wugan was standing on a high place side by side with Duanwu, overlooking the entire battlefield.

At this time, the face of the Wugan leader was filled with a smile of pride and joy. He said with emotion: "Ye Anda, your tactics are really useful! I only lost more than a hundred cavalrymen, but I wiped out this group of devils, which had more than a thousand people! This is simply a miracle!"

Upon hearing this, Duanwu curled up a faint smile, because this battle went much more smoothly than he expected.

Of course, this is inseparable from the arrogance of Kojiro Shoshi.

He penetrated deep into Fudi, intent on encircling and annihilating the guerrillas, but ended up separating his cavalry from his mechanized infantry regiments.

And when the cavalry suffered a devastating blow, he still did not realize the danger and still believed that a small guerrilla force could be wiped out by him soon.

And the most fatal thing was that he ignored the Mongolian cavalry. He did not expect that the Mongolian cavalry would join forces with the guerrillas to ambush.

Of course, Yarlung Zangbo knew about this, but unfortunately, he had not returned to the tribe yet and was unable to inform the Japanese at all.

All the unfavorable factors combined together, coupled with Kojiro Osamu's incompetence, led to this disastrous defeat. Not even a single Japanese soldier escaped, and the entire army was wiped out.

But facing Wugan, Duanwu certainly would not explain how the battle was won, but said: "This battle is not just my credit. If it weren't for Wugan Anda's heroic cavalry, I don't think we would have won so easily."

"Hahaha!"

Wu Gan laughed loudly, because his cavalry had always been his pride.

Wu Gan said cheerfully: "Ye Anda, since we have all worked hard for this battle, how about we each take half of these spoils?"

As he said this, Wu Gan looked at Duanwu somewhat embarrassedly.

Because if it weren't for Duanwu's proper tactics, and if he had just rushed forward with his fighting style, even if he won tonight, he would probably suffer heavy casualties.

The enemy had a cavalry battalion and a mechanized infantry battalion, totaling 1,500 to 1,600 people. They also had Japanese tanks that they could not afford.

So if we think about the worst, there is a possibility that the cavalry of the Wugan tribe will be wiped out.

But today, they achieved such great results at the cost of only more than a hundred people, and this is all thanks to Ye Anda.

So Wugan thought he wanted half, and some wanted more. But unexpectedly, at this moment, Duanwu smiled and shook his head and said, "Wugan Anda, replenish the ammunition I consumed, and the rest are yours."

"What? What?"

Leader Wu Gan even thought he had heard wrongly. Ye Anda only replenished the consumed ammunition and then gave all the spoils to him?

"How can this be done?"

Wu Gan quickly refused, because it was too much and he didn't deserve it!

Duanwu smiled and said, "You are my Anda, and you have offended the devils for me. The devils may retaliate in the future, so these guns are very important to you. Anda, after I leave, this grassland will depend on you. And there is a possibility that we will have to counterattack, and at that time, how can we do it without guns?"

Leader Wugan's eyes lit up and he looked at Duanwu in surprise.

He used to think that he had thought highly of Ye Anda, but now it seems that he still underestimated Ye Anda.

Wu Gan was inspired by Duanwu's ambition and laughed, "Okay, Ye Anda. I'll take over the spoils. I'll gather more people and form a strong cavalry to prepare for the recovery of lost territory."

Duanwu smiled and nodded, "Okay, Ye Anda, let's keep in touch at any time. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."

"Okay Ye Anda, I wish you a safe journey!"

Wugan said goodbye to Duanwu. Duanwu only took more than 10,000 machine gun bullets and a small amount of grenades, and then continued on his way.

Their target is still the Songyuan area, which has vast forests and sufficient strategic depth.

At dawn, the trucks carrying the wounded also caught up with Duanwu's large force. They left the grassland and gradually entered the Japanese-occupied area.

As the convoy gradually moved deeper into the Japanese-occupied area, the scene before them became increasingly depressing.

The land that should have been full of vitality is now dead silent.

In the village, most of the houses are in ruins, some have collapsed roofs, and some have doors and windows broken open, like ruins forgotten by time.

Occasionally, a few wisps of smoke rose up, but they seemed particularly lonely. They were the few people who were not affected by the war and were living cautiously.

The innocent smiles on the children's faces have lost their appearance, replaced by a desire for food and confusion about their future lives.

In the fields, crops are sparse and the land is barren. The once fertile land has become desolate under the ravages of war.

There was a depressing and dull atmosphere in the air, making it difficult to breathe.

Japanese patrols passed through the streets or fields from time to time, and their shiny bayonets gleamed coldly in the sun, reminding the guerrillas that they had entered enemy territory.

As the Japanese patrol team moved further away, Duanwu waved his hand slightly to signal the guerrillas to pass quickly.

After leaving the grassland, all the Japanese cars were hidden.

Duanwu originally wanted to blow up the cars, but after thinking about it, he thought that the trucks might still be useful. He just had the guerrillas drain all the oil from the trucks and hide it.

They entered the Japanese-occupied area on foot, otherwise the long convoy would easily be found by the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

Duanwu didn't want to be surrounded by the Japanese before he could gain a foothold in Songyuan! .
