Chapter 324: The Wind Rises in Shandong (3)
Not long after Wang Zhifu's headquarters withdrew, a group of Han annihilators led by Wan Jiafo received a message from the 10th Brigade of the Infantry Reading Force of the Yue Army through secret channels, asking them to quickly send people to Song Village, north of Dingshui Town, to see that a group of about 260 people had disappeared there.
Soon, a force of about 4,000 people was assembled in Dongmenzhuang, outside Yanggu County. A middle-aged monk in a yellow robe rode on a tall horse and led the people towards Song Village, Dingshui Town. This middle-aged monk is none other than the monk of Wanjiafo, one of the forces of the Three Great Avenues in Yanggu County. The four or five thousand people led by Monk Hua were not all his subordinates, and a large part of them were the guardians of other merchants, landlords, and squires in Yanggu County.
Wanjia Buddha was originally the leader of a feudal Taoist Society, and it has always been suppressed by the Immortal Dao and Anle Gate, even if the Wanjia Buddha Dao Association developed at its best, it was far inferior to the Immortal Dao and Anle Gate. Moreover, at that time, the Wanjia Buddha was still attached to the great warlord Ma Liang and the Grand Brigadier Guo who was guarding Liaocheng, but because the Wanjia Buddha was not as convincing as the other two Taoist forces, and the Wanjia Buddha collected far more dues than the Immortal Dao and Anlemen.
The pressure of the Ten Thousand Buddhas has been pressed to death for more than ten years, but the leader of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Association is very unwilling to accept the status quo, and has already colluded with himself a long time ago. It is precisely because of the support of Youyue himself behind him, and at the same time injecting a large amount of funds and weapons and equipment to help the development of Wanjiafo, that Wanjiafo has the strength to compete with the other two major Taoist forces in just a few years. However, due to the huge difference in strength, the Ten Thousand Buddhas are still unable to surpass the Immortal Dao and Anle Gate for the time being. Therefore, in order to completely take Yanggu County and the surrounding counties and cities as his own territory, the monk Kui Shouhua of the Wanjia Buddha completely became his lackeys when he launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, and used a large number of believers to serve him and kill his compatriots. In a series of military operations of the Yue Army, as long as it is carried out within the scope of Liaocheng, there will be people who are active in this flower monk. Especially in the last war, more than a dozen guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were indirectly annihilated at the hands of Wanjiafo.
This time, when he heard that an infantry squadron of the Imperial Army had disappeared in Dingshui Town, the leader of the Wan Family Buddha was shocked. This is worth it, an infantry squadron of the imperial army has an accident on its own territory, then it can still have good fruit to eat. The leader of the Wan Family Buddha once met with the commander of the 10th Infantry Brigade and had a certain understanding of the short smiling tiger. I knew that that guy's terrible thing was not something he could afford to provoke with a small Taoist magic stick.
However, the leader of the Ten Thousand Buddhas is not so worried in his heart, Yanggu County is such a big territory, and no one knows better than him who has how much grain there is. In Yanggu County, he believed that there was a force that could threaten an infantry squadron of the imperial army, but it was a pity that the bullshit family, which had always been above the three major forces, had been frightened out of Yanggu County under the power of the imperial army, and had even fled from Shandong. Now there are only three or two kittens left in Yanggu County, and there is the strength that can wipe out a complete infantry squadron of the imperial army.
According to the idea of the leader of the Wan Family Buddha, the eighth layer of the infantry squadron went to the countryside of China to "hunt" under the leadership of the squadron leader, and the villages in that area were relatively dense anyway. Besides, the imperial army is good from top to bottom, and even marches and fights with a large group of flower girls. He has never seen such an army in his life for most of his life, but not to mention, there are a large number of flower girls, and the combat effectiveness of those princes is really not ordinary, the last time tens of thousands of imperial troops came over, whether it was the Central Army with their nostrils facing the sky or the Eighth Route Army that recognized themselves as high, they did not want to escape from Shandong like a dog that wanted to lose their home. Even the armies of Shi Yousan and Sun Dianying, who had been in the Hebei region of Shandong, had not yet run away. At that time, he saw with his own eyes an infantry squadron of the Imperial Army chasing a regiment of the Kuomintang Central Army, and it would be hell if someone could eat all the infantry squadrons of the Imperial Army in this small place in Yanggu County.
Based on this idea, the leader of the Wan Family Buddha was not worried about the safety of the infantry squadron of the Yue Army, because he thought that the group of people who came out of the small ravines and ravines and had never seen the big world were harming the people of Dingshui Town. Now that he has encountered the eighth floor, he has also been pulled to use as a coolie, and he will definitely not be pleased. But in order to show loyalty in front of Yue, the leader of the Wan Family Buddha still prepared well and personally led an "infantry regiment" under his command to rescue the imperial army.
This flower monk knows very well who gave him the power he has now, if he doesn't have this towering tree, his little grass can live for a few days, not to mention anything else, even those big and small families in Yanggu County who have been plagued by him will not let him go.
However, just in case, Wan Jiafo still transferred his most trusted and most powerful guards. Although the number of believers in the Ten Thousand Dao Societies is still not as strong as the other two Great Dao Societies, if there is one of the Three Great Dao Societies that has the strongest combat effectiveness, it is none other than the Ten Thousand Dao Societies.
The monk of the Buddha of Wanjia is a thoughtful and extremely ruthless figure, compared to the martial arts of the Immortal Dao and the scribe of the Anle Gate, this person knows the root of survival in troubled times. Although the notoriety of Wanjia Buddha has gradually spread throughout the Liaocheng area in recent years, especially under the vigorous propaganda of the Eighth Route Army, the number of believers that Wanjia Buddha can absorb has been very limited. However, the armed forces of the Wanjia Buddha have developed by leaps and bounds, and now the Wanjia Buddha has a total of one rudder, four rudders, and twenty-eight altars.
After two years of development, the 28 sub-altars mastered by Wanjiafo all have a reinforced platoon of core armed forces, and each sub-rudder will form a core guard of a reinforced battalion, as for the general rudder of Wanjiafo, it is trained to have a core security regiment of a reinforced regiment, and this core defense regiment is all called the 38 big cover plus the 11-year-old light machine gun, and the heavy machine gun is the 92-type type. Even the small steel cannons, which are rarely seen in the Eighth Route Army, have more than a dozen pieces, and they are extremely well-equipped. This infantry regiment is the foundation of the development of the Ten Thousand Families, so he will not use this infantry regiment easily, not even when dealing with the other two great avenue forces that he hates.
On the one hand, it is because it is useless to use this infantry regiment to deal with Shenxian Dao and Anle Gate, and it is easy to arouse the disgust of the army. The Yuejun has always adopted a method of mutual containment and control over the Chinese under its banner, and rarely allows one to dominate. This is also the most fundamental reason why the forces of the other two great avenues have been able to exist for so long. On the other hand, it is because it is extremely difficult for Wan Jiafo to form such an escort team, especially that infantry regiment has almost exhausted all the property that Wan Jiafo has looted in the past ten years. Although the army also supported Wan Jiafo to form his own escort team to fight with the imperial army, he only gave Wan Jiafo 500 eliminated Hanyang and less than 100 Chinese formal rifles, and the 100 or so formal rifles were barely the same thing, after all, it was also the regular standard equipment of the Chinese National Axe Army, and his surname was still very good. But as for the 500 or so Hanyang-made, it is completely a pile of garbage, not to mention that the rifling is smoothed, and it is even marked with the words 1896, and bullets are even more scarce. Therefore, Wan Jiafo, who knew the important surname of the army, had no choice but to spend a lot of money with the senior officers of the army to buy arms, and there were too many arms to buy due to limited funds, so the monk Hua had no choice but to take a group of monks of Wan Jiafo to dig up all the ancient tombs in the surrounding counties and cities of Yanggu County, and gathered a large number of cultural relics and antiques to give to the army as funds for the purchase of arms.
In this way, after two years of development, the entire Wanjia Buddha formed a total of three regiments and another battalion of armed forces. In order to keep the secret of the Wan Family Buddha scattered these three regiments to various places in Liaocheng, although these three regiments are only small regiments in the establishment of the national political axe, each regiment is only 16,700 people, but the three regiments add up to more than 5,000 people, plus the guard team of the flower monk himself, the armed force of the entire Wan Family Buddha is already very considerable. Compared with the Immortal Dao and An Le Men, who were five thousand people as soon as they made a move, the five thousand troops of the Ten Thousand Buddhas were the real power.
In fact, Wan Jiafo thinks that he has done it very tightly and hidden it very deeply, but in the eyes of Han Yunhua's pervasive special combat team and intelligence department, Monk Hua's little secret is like a mirror. This time, it is more accurate to say that it is to set a trap on the Yue army, and it is accurate to say that it is specially given to him, a flower monk, as early as when Han Yunhua's department had just arrived in Shandong, he had already set his sights on this Han annihilation organization. But it's really interesting to say, the reason why Han Yunhua is eyeing the Ten Thousand Buddhas is completely because he has taken a fancy to the weapons and equipment in the hands of the Ten Thousand Buddhists.
To tell the truth, when he received the intelligence officer that there was still such a Han annihilation force hidden in Yanggu County, Han Yunhua was not shocked at first, but ecstatic. said to several commanders of the Eighth Route Army on the side: "That flower monk of the Ten Thousand Buddhas has not done anything big in his life, let alone done anything good. But he did a good job in this matter, and with this batch of weapons and ammunition, the combat effectiveness of our fighters will be greatly improved to a higher level. ”
