Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2668 Good news coming frequently!

Just when Kujo Miyakita was full of confidence because of the arrival of Yamamoto Shunsuke, good news came again.

The mopping-up troops drawn from various places are heading towards the designated location with all their might.

First, two other local Japanese troops, totaling over 2,000 people and two infantry battalions, arrived the next day to support the Songyuan battlefield.

On the north side of Phoenix Mountain, at the junction with Laoyeling, a Japanese infantry brigade, a mixed brigade of the 6000nd and rd Garrison Brigades, with a total of more than people, was used to cut off the connection between the Anti-Japanese Battalion and Laoyeling.

On the south side of Phoenix Mountain was the Kitano Detachment of the Fengtian side, which had just retreated from the Central China battlefield.

Although the entire detachment was not fully staffed, it still had at least 5,000 troops, and a cavalry regiment of the puppet army cooperated in blocking the area south of Phoenix Mountain.

On the western front of Phoenix Mountain, in the Japanese-occupied area, the Japanese army dispatched two cavalry battalions and a puppet cavalry battalion, totaling more than 2,300 people, to blockade the western front and prevent the anti-Japanese battalion from fleeing westward into Inner Mongolia.

There were four armies in total, with a total number of nearly 30,000 people.

Kujo Miyakita was happy now. Nearly 30,000 troops surrounded the anti-Japanese brigade, and with the powerful weapon Yamamoto Shunsuke, he didn't believe that Ye Xuwen would not die this time.

"By the way, Ye Xuwen changed his name. He is now called Qi Dabing. Is it because Qi Dabing is still alive?"

Kujo Miyakita was full of confidence. He waited for all the troops to arrive at the designated location and then immediately launched a fierce attack on the anti-Japanese brigade.

·············

At the same time, at the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s base, Duanwu was returning triumphantly with a group of anti-Japanese fighters.

There were more than 27 DP light machine guns, enough for him to arm all the new recruits.

Although it is impossible for all personnel to be equipped with automatic weapons, with more than 200 machine guns, plus the machine guns captured previously, they still have considerable combat effectiveness.

And at this time, all members had changed into Japanese weapons.

The Type 38 rifle was even more freely available for the new recruits to choose from. Long Qianyan and the mute had been busy these past few days.

The same goes for Ma Shanpao. After Gao Yanan's injury recovered, Ma Shanpao went to train the new recruits.

Now each of them leads several hundred people, and the rest of them learn swordsmanship from Ma Zhenshan and assassination techniques from Li Dagou.

Although Li Dagou was quiet, he learned everything from Ma Zhenshan. And under the guidance of Ma Pingan, he created his own set of bayonet fighting techniques.

Duanwu has tested it personally and found that it is indeed effective.

So Long Qianyan, Ma Shanpao, the Ya Ba, Li Zhenshan, and Li Dagou trained these new recruits in succession.

Some practiced gun skills in the morning, and sword skills and assassination techniques in the afternoon. Some practiced sword skills and assassination techniques in the morning, and gun skills in the afternoon.

Many of the recruits were so exhausted that they couldn't get into bed, and some even began to complain that it was more tiring than digging coal in a mine.

Money was spent directly on the Dragon Boat Festival. Not only was there enough food every day, but the salaries of the new recruits were doubled during the month of training.

Then there were no more complaints.

Naturally, the old soldiers were not idle either. Although Ma Shanpao, Long Qianyan and others were teaching the new recruits, they already had a basic foundation.

We have been practicing shooting at the shooting range these days, and each person has a limit of ten rounds of bullets per day.

In fact, the Anti-Japanese Brigade still had sufficient ammunition.

But a big battle was about to start, so Duanwu had to take it easy. Moreover, he hadn't been to Phoenix City for a few days, and he didn't know how many Type 38 submachine guns Wang the blacksmith had modified.

And if there were hundreds of them, all the bullets captured from the Japanese could be put to use, which would be a huge expense.

Of course, if you think about it, it's actually impossible. The arsenal has only been established for a few days, and there are only a few workers. How could it be so fast?

However, this is a small expectation of Duanwu. If Wang the blacksmith can make more Type 38 assault rifles, it will also play a significant role in this battle.

Of course, this time, Duanwu saved Markov and Vladimir, so naturally he had to exploit them and try his best to let them airlift another batch of weapons when the war came.

Coincidentally, the Japanese shot down a Soviet transport plane, and he didn't believe that Markov could swallow this.

What's more, there is Vladimir. This middle-aged pilot treats his transport plane like a treasure.

But at this time, his baby was gone, he couldn't believe it, and he cried to his superiors.

What's more, this time two Soviet crew members died.

Although they were just porters on the plane, they were Soviet soldiers after all. Duanwu didn't believe it, so the Soviet side just let it go.

And sure enough, as soon as Markov arrived at the guerrilla base, he could not wait to send a telegram to his immediate superior, accusing the Japanese of their atrocities and telling him about the crash of the transport plane and the deaths of the crew members.

Finally, he said that if it weren't for the anti-Japanese brigade captain Qi's risking his life to protect him, he and Vladimir would probably have died and would have perished at the hands of the Japanese.

The Soviets were naturally very angry, but they considered that they had already given Duanwu enough, so if they wanted more weapons support, they would have to show some appreciation. Moreover, Duanwu still owed a lot of money.

Markov went to discuss the matter with Duanwu, and Duanwu directly showed him his assets, almost blinding Markov's eyes.

Markov called back immediately and said that there was no problem with the money, but the problem was how he could bring so much money back.

After receiving Markov's reply, his immediate superior also called back and said that he would send someone to pick him up in Outer Mongolia, but Duanwu would be responsible for the section of the journey within China.

But we won’t let Duanwu work for nothing. We will give him an extra 100 submachine guns and 10,000 rounds of bullets, and let him kill those Japanese bastards!

Duanwu was naturally very happy. Although the submachine guns this time were no longer the latest models such as the PPD-34 submachine guns, but when the war came, if submachine guns and rounds of bullets could be delivered, Duanwu would be able to beat the shit out of the Japanese.

Duanwu is full of confidence about the upcoming Japanese raid.

But he was still a little worried that he had no source of intelligence.

As the saying goes, only when you know both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Nowadays, the Japs know a lot about the Anti-Japanese Brigade, but he knows too little about the Japs.

But he was able to guess the Japs' general strategy, which was to surround them on three sides and send a large number of troops to attack.

This is a common tactic used by the Japanese, there is nothing strange about it.

But he had no idea of ​​the exact number of the Japanese troops, when they would attack, or where they would deploy their defenses. This was like playing a confusing game.

It’s just a pity that he didn’t have the chance to build his intelligence system.

Of course, it is not easy to build an intelligence network.

The Japanese are not fools. If you want to place spies around them, they will listen to your arrangements obediently. They also have intelligence agencies!
