Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

"who?"

"Ye Xuwen!"

"It turns out that it is Lord Chief Ye who is here."

"When did I become the leader?"

Duanwu met a sentinel from the Wugan tribe, who actually called him Chief Ye, which made Duanwu feel a little strange.

The sentry quickly explained: "This is the order of our leader, who said that you are his best brother, so you should have a share of this grassland."

"Haha, Wugan Anda is so polite."

Duanwu didn't know what to say. Wugan Anda even wanted to give him a share of the Mongols' most important grassland.

Of course, it’s useless for Duanwu to ask for grassland, as he doesn’t herd cattle!

Just when Duanwu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, dust was flying in the distance and the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer. A group of people, at least one or two hundred in number, came galloping like lightning. Leading them was Wugan Anda, who was wearing a gorgeous Mongolian robe and had a big smile on his face.

"Brother Duanwu! You are finally here!"

Wugan Anda pulled the reins, the horse's front hooves lifted into the air and landed steadily. He then jumped off the horse, strode towards Duanwu, opened his arms and gave him a warm hug.

Duanwu laughed and responded: "Anda, I am flattered by your display! Hahahaha!"

Wugan Anda patted Duanwu on the back and said with a hearty smile: "Brother, you are a great benefactor of our Wugan tribe. As your elder brother, I am very happy that you can come this time. I feel relieved when you are here. Otherwise, facing so many devils, I, as your elder brother, would have no confidence!

Let's go to the tribe and discuss it in detail. They have already prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Hahaha!"

After that, Wugan Anda personally led Duanwu's horse, and the group marched towards the center of the tribe in a mighty manner.

Along the way, herdsmen came out of their yurts, dressed in festive attire, and everyone presented Hada to the Dragon Boat Festival.

Duanwu simply got off his horse and walked because there were simply too many people.

"Master Chief Ye, welcome to the Wugan Tribe!"

"Chief Ye, you are the great benefactor of our grassland!"

  ·············

The warm greetings made Duanwu a little overwhelmed.

But he responded to them one by one.

After finally arriving at the tribal center, Duanwu was dragged to the welcome banquet before he even had time to wash up.

At this time, the bonfire is blazing, the mutton is fragrant, the milk tea is mellow, and the herdsmen sit in a circle, singing and dancing to celebrate the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Wugan Anda raised his glass and shouted: "Today, we not only celebrate the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival, but also celebrate the indissoluble bond between our Wugan tribe and Ye Anda! May our friendship be as long-lasting as the rivers on the grassland!"

Amidst all the laughter and joy, Duanwu could only laugh along.

Because Wugananda and the herdsmen were so enthusiastic, he didn't even have a chance to say a word.

Of course, this is not impoliteness, but enthusiasm and cherishment of this friendship.

After drinking two bowls of mare's milk, Duanwu finally had the chance to speak and asked, "Wugan Anda, has the tribe been settled? I estimate that the Japanese will arrive at the Wugan tribe before dark." Wugan was surprised and said, "Ye Anda, how did you know?"

Duanwu said: "I encountered Japanese scouts when I came here. I calculated their marching speed and they will arrive around this time. Unless their cavalry raids, they will definitely not come that early."

Wu Gan was shocked: "What? Did you seize those horses and weapons from the Japanese?"

Duanwu was also surprised: "What do you think?"

Wu Gan slapped his thigh and said, "I thought you were worried that I didn't have enough weapons and equipment, so you brought them on horseback!"

Duanwu said with a smile: "Wugan Anda, if I were to bring weapons and equipment, would I bring so little? Besides, this incident happened suddenly. It would be fastest if I came alone, so why would I bring weapons and equipment?"

"Hahaha!"

Wu Gan laughed, but then said, "Don't worry, Ye Anda. I have already moved the elderly, weak, women and children in the tribe to the rear."

Duanwu asked in return: "Are there cavalry protection? Also, are there planes flying in the sky when the tribe migrates?"

Wu Gan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there are planes. I heard such reports. There are also 200 cavalrymen protecting people. I think that should be enough. People on our grassland are very tough. Even the elderly, the weak, women and children are not bullied by anyone. What's more, they migrated to the deep part of the grassland, and the Japanese could not reach there."

Duanwu shook his head and said, "It's not the Japanese that I'm worried about."

Wu Gan suddenly realized, "Are you worried about them?"

Duanwu nodded and said, "When the Japanese invaded, they watched from the other side. Couldn't they cut off the fire from under the cauldron? So you can't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Wugan Anda, do you think I'm right?"

Wu Gan frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "But the Japanese have too many people this time. I only have less than 3,000 cavalry, and according to your idea, I have added a logistics battalion, which should have more than 3,000 people. But my insider said that the Japanese and puppet troops add up to more than 5,000 people. This battle is not easy to fight, so I sent you a telegram."

"What? More than 3,000 people?"

Duanwu looked very shocked.

Wu Gan asked in surprise: "Ye Anda, what's wrong?"

Duanwu said: "It's developing too fast. The disadvantage of developing too fast is that the personnel review is not in place, and it is easy for spies to sneak in. And secondly, the new cavalry is of varying quality and cannot form real combat effectiveness."

Duanwu paused, thought for a moment and then said, "Wugan Anda, do you believe me?"

Wu Gan immediately said, "What are you talking about, Ye Anda? You are my Anda, how can I not believe you?"

Duanwu said: “Pick out another 200 men from your original cavalry, and then disperse your newly recruited cavalry, so that every 20 of your original cavalry will lead 100 newly recruited cavalry to form a new formation.

Tell your existing cavalry to keep a close eye on every new cavalry member. If anyone behaves abnormally before or after the battle, you can execute them first and report to them later.

These people are secretly lurking near the tribesmen who have migrated from your tribe. If anyone harasses or wants to harm your tribe, you can capture them or kill them immediately.

Another thing is that the tribesmen you relocated must be relocated again at night, and open flames must not be used during the migration.

Wait, let me think about it."

At this point, Duanwu tapped his forehead with his fingers, and after a moment he said: "Let them migrate to the vicinity of "Huolin". And your 1,200 cavalrymen should also move there at night.

But don't tell those cavalry recruits, only the captain knows the real destination. The others, just follow the head of the team. Tell the outside world that you want to fight in a roundabout way and trap the devils on the grassland! ." (End of this chapter)
