Chapter 581 Emergencies

Although Andong City is also a county seat, it is different from other county towns in that it is a central county, and there are several smaller county towns under it.

As a central county, its scale is larger than that of Renxian County, but compared with Benxi Lake, it is still a lot smaller. The Kwantung Army deployed no less troops here than the other counties of Benxi Lake, mainly because it was home to one of Manchuria's largest copper mines.

From the division of the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army, Andong City is not under the jurisdiction of the Benxi Lake area, and has its own headquarters of the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Army. It is precisely for this reason that the Volunteers have not moved against Andong City for a long time, because after all, it is not a place managed by Yasumoto, and he does not know much about the strength of the troops there and the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army. If it weren't for the last time the Imperial Association Army of Andong City attacked the Wu Army's Lao Ye Ling, maybe Mengzi wouldn't want to move them.

Long before getting rid of the commander of the Imperial Allied Army in Andong City, Wu Jun bought a large blue brick house with seven or eight rooms on the street in the city, and behind the house was a large enough courtyard.

This house was originally a traditional Chinese medicine shop opened by the richest man in Anton, but after the little devil occupied the county, the pharmacy couldn't be opened, so he was in a hurry to sell it, so Wu Jun picked up a cheap one and bought it.

After the house was bought, Mengzi sent Zhou Hong to help Wu Jun open a grocery store here. Opening a grocery store is Zhou Hong's opinion, firstly, because Zhou Hong has grocery stores in Benxi Lake and several counties to which he belongs, and he is too familiar with this industry, and he is also easy to do, knowing what to buy and where to buy from. The second is that the advantage of the grocery store is that it distributes everything, including some Chinese herbal medicines, so that Wu Jun's team can secretly buy some medicines. And in the county town, the sole operation of drugs is restricted by little devils. The third is that there are many and miscellaneous people coming and going in the grocery store, which is not easy to attract the attention of little devils, the imperial army, and the pseudo-police, and it is convenient for the team members to hide. Fourth, the goods can be exchanged with several other counties, and the purchase of goods can be organized by Zhou Hong.

Under Zhou Hong's operation, the grocery store opened in less than two weeks.

For Wu Jun, whether this grocery store makes money or not is secondary, and the most important thing is to collect the situation of the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Alliance Army in the county. There aren't many people in the grocery store, just three or four people.

After the grocery store opened, through reconnaissance during this period, the number of several scouts who had already arrived in the county to garrison the situation and the firepower configuration were clear. For the arrival of the volunteers, everything was ready to attack Andong City, and only the commander's order was owed, but no one expected that at this juncture, an unexpected event involved the actions of the volunteers, which delayed the attack on the county for another two months.

Suddenly Zhou Hong of Benxi Lake sent a telegram saying that a team of men and horses of the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation was attacking Kangfa County, which was subordinate to Benxi Lake, and had been restrained by the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Association Army of Kangfa County.

"Chief of Staff, what is the specific part of the Anti-Japanese Federation that attacked Kangfa County? How many people are there, and is there any backup? As soon as Mengzi heard this, he immediately asked.

"Commander, it was the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Union that attacked Kangfa, and it is said that there are two armies, but the number is not too many." Li Xiong said.

"Let's be clear, how much is not too much?" Mengzi said a little anxiously.

"Commander, that's right, we just got the information, I have asked Zhou Hong to reconnoiter the most detailed situation and then report it, Zhou Hong sent it out at the first time when the fight started, so it is not too detailed, but one thing is certain, that is, the third army adapted from the guerrillas of Wunu Mountain is the main attack force this time."

"What do you say? Is Yang Juan's team up? As soon as Wang Ying heard this, she immediately got up from her seat and asked nervously.

"Yes, Commander, that's why Zhou Hong's subordinates sent the information over in such a panic." Li Xiong said.

"How so? Isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately? Some time ago, Yang Juan told me that after joining the Anti-Japanese Federation, their team was divided into two, and some of them were transferred to other units of the First Army, leaving less than 2,000 people, who were given to the formation of an army, and some heavy weapons were also transferred to the headquarters at the same time. Mengzi, you see if we act immediately, otherwise it will be too late. Wang Ying said anxiously.

"This anti-union has caused such a big trouble for the master at a critical time. Chief of Staff, now that the situation is urgent, immediately notify Zhou Hong, quickly find out the details of the little devil reinforcements in the direction of Xinjing, Benxi Lake and Renxian, and also, immediately contact our superior, Commander Yao's troops, to see if they have any movements. Inform Regiment Commander Liu Shusheng and ask them to rush to the exit of Lianhua Mountain to Xinjing and snipe the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army in the direction of Xinjing with all their might.

Brother Hu, you take the second regiment, and the enemy in the direction of Benxi Lake and Renxian will be handed over to you.

Li Xiong, you take the three regiments to gather urgently, rush to Kangfa, open up the road from the county seat to Wunu Mountain, and once you take the team of Political Commissar Yang next, you will withdraw to Wunu Mountain.

The heavy fire regiment was divided into three, the first battalion commander operated with Commander Hu, the second battalion operated with Chief of Staff Li, the third battalion stayed at the base camp, and the fourth battalion followed Song Feng.

Song Feng, you take the fourth battalion, bring your special operations brigade, as the reserve of the chief of staff and Liu Shusheng, and rush to the exit of Wunu Mountain to support the three regiments and the seventh regiment at any time.

At the same time, he telegraphed Liu Hong that their fifth regiment was drawn from Hulu Mountain as a reserve for the second regiment. The first regiment and the fourth regiment stayed in place, with the commander and the fifth uncle in charge to protect Tiesha Mountain. Mengzi didn't think about it, and ordered directly.

After the fierce son gave the order, his men and horses immediately took action.

"One more thing, everyone understands, this time, don't use the banner of the Volunteers, but fight the banner of the DL Division of the Anti-Japanese Union, understand? We don't want the little devils to target the Volunteers, this DL division is a good stand-in. Mengzi thought for a while and added.

"Commander, when the commander replied, they were rushing in the direction of Sanzhai in Lotus Mountain in the direction of Kangfa. Ask how we set it up. A combat staff officer ran in and reported.

"Tell Commander Yao about our arrangement, but don't talk about the specific troop situation, by the way, report in a negotiated tone, whether you can snipe the Kwantung Army reinforced in the direction of Xinjing with Commander Liu Shusheng, because the reinforcements in that direction are the strongest, if you can, immediately notify Commander Liu to contact them." Mengzi commanded.

After the operational staff officer received the order to go out, Mengzi called Song Feng over: "Song Feng, Commander Yao is our superior after all, so after you arrive at Wunu Mountain, you must coordinate their relationship with Shusheng, the sniper in the direction of Xinjing is a bad battle." Mengzi said worriedly.

When Yao Zhenshan received Mengzi's second telegram, he was as shocked as he was when he saw the strength of the volunteers for the first time.

He learned the news of the First Army's attack on Kangfa County from a telegram just sent by the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and in the entire Benxi Lake area, there were only two Anti-Japanese Union teams active in this area, but the two teams did not belong to the same superior, so when attacking the county seat, the First Army did not inform itself. It's just that after the attack began, I didn't expect Kangfa to be a hard bone, and as soon as the two sides got fired, they couldn't withdraw if they wanted to, so the First Army rescued Yao Zhenshan through the headquarters, and asked them to snipe the enemy in the direction of Xinjing, and at the same time, if possible, assist the besieging troops to take the county seat as soon as possible.

As soon as he received the telegram from the headquarters, Commander Yao immediately ordered the confidential personnel to send the report to the DL Division (Volunteers), but before he could send his own telegram, the other party's inquiry telegram came.

After receiving this telegram, Commander Yao couldn't help but be surprised: "The news of the Volunteers is too well-informed, and as soon as I received the telegram from the headquarters, the Volunteers actually knew about it. It seems that in the Benxi Lake area, except for the little devils, there is no team that can compete with the volunteers.

After receiving the telegram of inquiry, the volunteers quickly told the other party their mobile target, and now in Yao Zhenshan's heart, the importance of the volunteers may exceed that of the entire Second Route Army.

What Yao Zhenshan didn't expect was that when he received the telegram from the Volunteers for the second time, when he looked at the content, the Volunteers had already issued the entire rescue plan and started to act. Judging from the entire arrangement, although there is no specific force and firepower, but with this period of understanding of the volunteers, Commander Yao understands at a glance that this is definitely an overall situation, and the total troop mobilization is not 10,000, but also 8,000.

"Commander, do you think our goal is to change it?" Seeing the shocked appearance of Commander Yao holding a telegram in his hand, an operational staff officer standing aside hurriedly asked.

"Immediately contact Commander Liu of Lotus Mountain to determine the mutual location and sniper location." Commander Yao thought for a while and said.

"Commander, a telegram from Captain Song Feng of the DL Division." Not long after the operations staff officer went out, the confidential officer came in with a telegram and reported.

"Captain Song of the Volunteer Army? Send me the telegram. "In terms of the confrontation alliance, Song Feng is definitely the most convincing person for them, the last sniper battle, if it weren't for him, the loss of the resistance would have been great, in fact, the loss is not the most important, if it really did not block the attack of the Kwantung Army, and finally turned the whole battle around, and failed to take Lotus Mountain, then the consequences would be serious. Therefore, not only Commander Yao, but the entire volunteer army admired Song Feng very much.

"Quickly call me the combat staff officer and order the troops to move forward according to the location on the telegram. Call back Captain Song, and we will enter the predetermined position an hour later. After reading the telegram, Commander Yao ordered directly without thinking about it.
