The Blood Wolf Troop marched towards Chahar, and Chen Wanxin's Blood Wolf Independent Regiment was also ordered to join the Blood Wolf Troop. After five days of circuitous travel through the Japanese-occupied areas, the two armies finally arrived in the southeast of the Xilin Gol League.
Hou Dashun was ordered to organize an armed transport team behind enemy lines, and he handed over the task to the cavalry commander Jin Fucheng.
"Ding, ring, ring." The phone rang one after another. Hou Dashun picked up the phone and heard the urgent voice of the commander of the Third Division of the Second Army: "Commander, Li Chunrun, Su Yongmin ran away with the engineering troops!"
"Run away? Where did he run? Did he go to join the Kwantung Army?" Hou Dashun lost his composure and couldn't help asking.
"I don't know the details. They were bare-handed and didn't take anything away. They were heading towards Chahar, and they probably went to Feng Yuxiang!" The third division commander breathed heavily, waiting for the commander to issue an order.
This is the first time he has defected in the Zhuanghe and Jehol troops. Hou Dashun held the phone and thought nervously, and then exhaled: "Order the cavalry to catch up with them, I will be there soon!"
"yes!"
The cavalry commander, Jin Bucheng, was organizing a transport team. When he received a call, he cursed: "The ungrateful Li Chunrun and Su Yongmin are ungrateful and betrayed the young master! Guard camp!"
"arrive!"
"Inform the three cavalry divisions to march to the west of Keshiketeng Banner as quickly as possible and surround me with the defecting engineering unit Li Chunrun!"
"Yes, the guard camp is setting off!"
Li Chunrun and a division of engineers had just walked out of the Keshiketeng Banner when they were overtaken by the First Regiment of the Third Division of the Border Guard. The three battalions quickly deployed, and their muzzles and guns were aimed at the group of defectors.
Su Yongmin stood with his chest raised: "Come on, if you want to shoot me, shoot me in the chest. Grandpa will not be a man if he frowns!"
"Are you a man?" The leader of the border guard group walked forward slowly and said angrily: "In what way does the Jehol Autonomous Province feel sorry for you and your brothers?"
Li Chunrun came over with a red face, faced the head of the border defense regiment and said, "Go back and tell the commander and everyone that the volunteers can only pick up guns and fight, not build roads or bridges in the rear."
"Hahahaha!" The regiment leader laughed up to the sky. After a long time, he glared at Li Chunrun. Su Yongmin said: "Who doesn't want to go to the Northeast to fight the Japanese? Doesn't the Jehol Army support you? Wang Dayong insists on staying behind enemy lines. He is a real man.
! Pat your chest and think about how much energy and materials we have spent to finish your training but you don’t want to go out. Now your stomach is full, your pockets are full, and you want to lead the team yourself!"
"Nonsense!" Su Yongmin blushed and took a step forward excitedly: "Brothers have hesitated, but now they have finally figured it out. We must pick up the gun and fight with the little devil! Chahar is the real anti-Japanese, unlike you,
They have weapons in their hands and hide in the occupied areas to secretly make money from the national crisis!"
"Get rich?" the defense leader laughed angrily: "You don't know how much we invest in factories, commerce, agriculture, and animal husbandry. Where do we make our fortune?"
"Isn't it bad to get rich?" Hou Dashun and Jin Fucheng walked side by side, stopped in front of Su Yongmin and said: "Who doesn't want to get rich? Without materials and financial resources, you beat the Japanese with two fists?
You have no money, no arsenal, no food and supplies. You have experienced the hardships of fighting the Japanese. Feng Yuxiang once contacted the Soviet Union and wanted to buy weapons from there. But they refused to sell them for fear of offending the islanders!
Feng Qinzai, Fu Zuoyi, and Pang Bingxun were transferred from Pingdong to Chahar to put pressure on the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces; Xu Tingyao's 17th Army and Wang Jingjiu's 87th Division were also transferred to the Pingsui line to form a siege situation."
"But they captured Duolun and achieved brilliant results in recovering the lost territory in Chahar!" Li Chunrun took over what Hou Dashun had not finished and praised the heroic performance of the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
"You only saw the superficial phenomenon!" Hou Dashun said sternly: "Duolun was captured, but it also angered the Japanese army! Feng Yuxiang has no hope of foreign aid, internal instability, food, clothing, and cash cannot be borrowed.
The economic embarrassment has reached the extreme. Once the Japanese army launches a large-scale attack, can guns without bullets still defeat the ferocious Japanese invaders?"
Li Chunrun's expression immediately changed drastically, and Su Yongmin snorted coldly: "It's you who refuse to save me!"
"Hahahaha!" Hou Dashun laughed and said to Su Yongmin with a big smile: "We have sent guns, ammunition, medicines, and mortars. Are we supposed to raise all the armed forces in the country?
?Chahar is also a province and a grassland. Why can't it ensure the supply of materials by itself? They just don't know how to get rich! Only when the economy, agriculture and animal husbandry are developed, can they guarantee the materials they need. Only when steel and technology are developed, can they make
Use guns and cannons to attack the Japanese! We want to make a fortune, but it’s not the wealth you mentioned when the country is in dire straits!”
Hu Zhiyong's words not only shocked the officers and soldiers of the engineering force, but also made all the officers and soldiers present in Rehe understand what they had done. Li Chunrun felt that he was reckless, but at this moment, he was riding a tiger and was unable to get off, and his face did not allow him to return.
go.
"I want to resist Japan!" Su Yongmin thought about it and finally insisted: "I am a warrior and can only take up arms to fight against the Japanese."
"Resist Japan, resist Japan!" The engineering soldiers raised their fists high and shouted excitedly.
"Okay!" Hou Dashun shouted, looking at the shouting crowd: "Your division has a total of eleven thousand people. I will give each of you a gun! Guo Dawei, bring the things over here!"
"Yes, carry it over!" Guo Dawei asked the car soldiers to carry boxes of weapons, bullets, and machine guns in front of the engineering soldiers, and said emotionally: "Each person has a weapon, and you can take the bullets as you like. Brothers, go to the front line and kill more Japs."
, don’t let these bullets hit your compatriots.”
Li Chunrun's eyes were moist, and he took a step forward: "I should say hello to you."
"This is your mistake!" Hou Dashun comforted him: "In Rehe, as long as everyone is willing to leave, we will send them out with gifts. We will support the anti-Japanese team and use our best efforts to help you. Leave your family members behind.
Next, women and children, it’s better to stay here, this is still your home!”
"Hi!" Su Yongmin stomped his foot regretfully: "I can trust you, my wife, I can rest assured that I will leave my daughter to you!"
The volunteers began to distribute weapons. After everyone held their weapons, Li Chunrun gathered his team and gave a military salute to everyone in Rehe. After Hou Dashun returned the salute, he waved for them to set off.
"Goodbye!" Li Chunrun and Su Yongmin came over and shook hands with each officer, shouting with tears in their eyes: "Brother, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
The commander of the first regiment of the third division chuckled and said: "You are working as an official outside. Don't forget to come back when you get rich. I will take care of your children and wife. Don't keep them waiting."
"Thank you!" Su Yongmin took off his military cap, bowed deeply and said, "I will be back. After the Japanese devils are defeated, I will come back to meet everyone! Farewell!"
"goodbye!"
The volunteers were no longer visible. Hou Dashun said to the communications section chief: "Send a telegram to the Blood Wolf Team and ask them to pay more attention to Li Chunrun's troops."
"yes!"
"Commander, will they come back again?" Jin Fucheng asked in a low voice.
"Idiot!" Su Xiqing laughed and cursed: "The families of the volunteers are all in Rehe, and they will definitely come back."
"It's hard to come back!" Hou Dashun sighed: "The capture of Duolun by Chahar's troops is a great victory. However, Chiang Kai-shek has already invaded the border with his army, and the little devils will also take this opportunity to march into Chahar. Where can the second young master buy it?
The pressure to win over the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which has just been established and is not yet consolidated internally, is too great!"
"I heard that Ji Hongchang attacked Duolun and more than two thousand people died?" Ma Xiandeng asked.
"In Duolun City, there are more than 3,000 people from the Japanese Fourth Motegi Cavalry Brigade, as well as five puppet army divisions including Zhang Haipeng, Cui Xingwu, and Li Shouxin. After more than three hours of hand-to-hand street fighting, Duolun was finally recovered after a bloody battle!
Hou Dashun told everyone the information sent by Spider: "The main force of the Japanese army did not suffer losses. The main reason was that Li Shouxin's traitor team was annihilated. More than a thousand people were annihilated. The four commanders of Chahar were seriously injured, and the number of dead was about
Around 1600.”
This group of military chiefs all admired Ji Hongchang's bravery. There were 32 bunkers, traffic trenches, and power grids built outside Duolun City to block it. There were also two divisions of Li Shouxin serving as peripheral defense, and related to the Eastern Army.
The Eighth Division responded in Fengning.
"Thirteen days!" Su Xiqing shouted with emotion. These thirteen days were not easy, thanks to Yongxiang who sent them mortars.
"Their spirit is worth learning from, but!" Hou Dashun looked at his men and said word by word: "The young master does not want us to fight against the Japs! We want to resist Japan, want the Japs to die, and want everyone to live well!
"
"Yes, ten little devils will not change our lives! I can't fight all the little devils, so I will make more sons to continue the work!" Su Xiqing looked serious, but what he said made people laugh uncontrollably.
"Stop playing tricks!" Hu Zhigang pushed him: "You go back and create humans now, and then go out to fight the Japanese when your mother-in-law gets pregnant."
"Hahahaha!" The people on the field couldn't bear it any longer, and they all fell to the ground laughing.
"The war is coming soon!" Hou Dashun looked at the officers at all levels: "We will not compete with the national army for territory. When the little devils send troops to Chahar, it is the time for us to take action!"
"Commander, I don't understand. With such a large territory in the northeast, why don't we attack the southeast instead of attacking Chahar?" Ma Xiandeng asked with doubts.
"Yes!" Most of the officers said, thinking that what Ma Xiandeng said made sense.
"What do you need to fight?" Hou Dashun asked.
"Who doesn't know this? Of course it's people, weapons and materials." Ma Xiandeng answered first.
"How many people are there in our base area? How many people can take up arms? Where can we get the supplies we need? Where can we find additional personnel?" Hou Dashun asked again and again, but everyone was still confused.
"The gateway to the north of Beijing and Tianjin is Chahar. Only by occupying Inner Mongolia and Chifeng will we not be short of supplies. The little devil not only wants the three northeastern provinces, he wants to occupy all the territory of China!"
Everyone trembled, and Su Xiqing murmured: "You kid, do you have such a big appetite?"
"His appetite goes far beyond that!" Hou Dashun recalled what Hu Zhiyong said and sighed: "A fascist who wants to dominate the world wants the entire East and Southeast Asia!"
"Ah!" Ma Xiandeng shouted and spat on the ground: "Isn't this going to cause a world war?"
