Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 619 Walking the Dog

The distant mountains listen attentively.

"Brigade Commander Yuanshan, our suggestion is to slow down and slowly outrun the Japanese."

"Hmm? Why don't you give the man a beating when he's down?"

“Captain Yuanshan, we made this suggestion for two reasons.

First, the soldiers of your Liberation Brigade are all brave and combative eagles of the grassland. Although they have strong individual combat capabilities, they have never fought in a small-scale war of this intensity. Therefore, you can slowly participate in our battles and accumulate experience.

Second, although we are participating in the independence war of the Mobei people in our personal capacity, we still hope to keep a low profile. It is better to announce to the outside world that the independent brigade drove away the Japanese invaders. This will also be good for the reputation of your independent brigade. Take this opportunity to expand the team!"

Yuanshan now couldn't help but want to become sworn brothers with Weidong. This was doing good deeds without leaving a name. The work was done, but the fame was not wanted at all.

"The Volunteer Army is our brother!"

"Let's stop being polite and clean up the battlefield!"

The battlefield became lively. The soldiers of the Liberation Brigade were happily carrying back rifles, mortars and grenade launchers as if it were New Year's Day.

The soldiers of the Volunteer Army were drooling at the sight of the cattle and sheep. If things went as expected, they would soon be turned into mutton and beef skewers.

When Choibalsan, who was far away in Hulan, heard the news that the Japanese and the Erenhot Guard Regiment had been annihilated, he thought it was the masterpiece of the brave Mobei People's Army. He immediately sent a telegram to praise the People's Army.

Moreover, the "good news" was sent to every corner of the grassland through the radio.

It was not until the border defense regiment of the Mobei People's Army saw that the matter was getting more and more serious that they were forced to confess to Choibalsan that this matter had nothing to do with them and they were completely unaware of it!

"Don't be so modest. In Ula, besides your border defense regiment, who else is there?"

"It really wasn't us. We did fight the Japanese and the Erlianhot Guards, but their firepower was too strong, so we had to retreat temporarily!"

"Who else could it be?"

"I have a bold guess, maybe it's the Liberation Brigade from the distant mountains..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, can they defeat the Japanese with those broken guns?"

The more Choibalsan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally he had to seek confirmation again.

However, they did not need to verify it, as a clear coded telegram spread throughout the northern desert, which not only described the course of the battle in detail, but also welcomed all Mongolian compatriots on the grassland to come and see their spoils.

Early the next morning, many Mongolian compatriots got the news from somewhere and actually found the Liberation Brigade’s base and visited the weapons and equipment.

Choibalsan was now regretting his decision. Wasn't this a free advertisement for the Independent Brigade? It wouldn't be long before the glorious record of the Independent Brigade defeating the Japanese and resisting foreign humiliation would spread throughout the grassland.

Yuanshan couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the Mongolian compatriots who came to visit. In the past, their compatriots on the grassland supported them unconditionally, but they had never had any outstanding achievements. Now, they can directly avenge those robbed herdsmen. The army and the people are like brothers and sisters!

Ye Zhonghua found Yuanshan with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"How's it going? Feeling good, right?"

"Haha, it feels so good to be recognized by the herdsmen on the grassland!"

"That's not enough, Brigade Commander Yuanshan, I have something to give you!"

Ye Zhonghua brought Yuanshan to a yurt and uncovered a piece of canvas.

"This is?"

"Radio"

Wang Meng’s next goal is to control finance and thoroughly promote the RMB.

As long as the people of Mobei use and rely on the RMB, their economy will be linked to China. Then it will not be so easy to completely sever the ties between Mobei and Inner Mongolia, or even China!

Of course, getting the people of Mobei to use RMB is much more difficult than sending them a radio station, and requires long-term planning.

Weidong just walked the Japanese soldiers along the border like walking a dog. The special forces of the Liberation Brigade in the distant mountains also gradually participated in the battle, learning while fighting, gradually mastering the combat skills and building up their courage.

Kazuo Kawasaki was in a dilemma. On one side was the incredibly powerful Liberation Brigade, and on the other side was the armored division in Inner Mongolia.

These more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers, plus a mixed force of more than 1,000 guard regiments, managed to sneak along the border for more than ten days.

"Baga, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated!"

The unshaven Ma Datou looked at Kawasaki Kazuo, whose eyes were red and seemed to be ready to fight, and tried to persuade him with kind words.

"Captain Kawasaki, there is an old saying in China: it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!"

"Baga, I am a glorious imperial soldier, why should I live in vain? I want to live an upright life!"

Ma Datou slapped himself lightly twice.

"Oh my, look at my broken mouth! It's obvious that if we keep the green mountains, we will not be afraid of the firewood. Let's hold on a little longer. Maybe in two days, we can get rid of the enemy's pursuit!"

Kazuo Kawasaki once comforted himself in this way, but as he saw the number of Japanese soldiers in the team decreasing, he began to panic.

The enemy does not seem to be in a hurry to destroy them. Instead, it seems to be playing a kind of development game, but it is the enemy that is developed, and it is themselves who are gradually worn down.

“We are like wild animals in a cage, with them cutting off a piece of our flesh with a knife from time to time, and then slowly turning us into a skeleton and bleeding to death!

No, this painful torture must end today! I order the Guards and Kawasaki Regiment to rest and replenish their strength. We must fight the enemy to the death today!"

After saying this, Kazuo Kawasaki walked to a stream, knelt on the grass, took out a pitch-black towel, and began to wipe his skinny face.

Then he took out a small dagger and began to shave his beard.

"Captain Kawasaki, we only have about 300 men now, including more than 100 Imperial Army soldiers and more than 200 guards. With this amount of troops, it would be absolutely suicide!"

Kazuo Kawasaki ignored Ma Datou, who was as anxious as an ant on hot pan, and just kept shaving.

"Captain Ma, I've had enough of the days of fleeing. The imperial warriors cannot face the enemy's bayonets and bullets with their backs! Stop talking and get ready!"
