Chapter 34: Making a Fortune

  "Commander Yang, can't your troops concentrate their forces and attack? Why do you still need to collect weapons? Can't you collect them after the battle is over?"

  "My god, are you here to fight or to clean up the battlefield?"

  The female soldiers kept shouting towards Yang Junran, but Yang Junran showed his thick-skinned spirit and didn't change his orders no matter how the female soldiers shouted.

  He didn't know whether these weapons would disappear in a flash, at least the people in the city had lived under the rule of the Mongolian army for many years.

  Especially some Mongolian people will not help themselves naturally.

  The remaining Mongolian army is not many now, according to the female soldier's ability, solving this Mongolian army should be no problem, let alone Xu Da is not a fool, hearing the gunfire here will naturally not wander on the flank, and will definitely launch an attack.

  The distant artillery fire had already sounded, and without careful observation, Yang Junran knew that Xu Da's troops were in action.

  Yang Junran was too familiar with the sound of the Type 94 90mm mortar.

  Before long, the Mongolian army that had been resisting in front began to retreat, because their flank had been attacked by Xu Da.

  After seeing the Mongolian army retreat, Yang Junran quickly held his rifle and pressed on, not giving these Mongolian soldiers any chance to organize a defensive position.

  Both sides started a fierce battle in the alley, but the Mongolian army's disadvantage in numbers could not resist Yang Junran and the female soldiers' attack.

  The Sixth Division Headquarters.

  Hao Yan's face was getting uglier and uglier, he knew that the National Army troops would be arriving here soon.

  Now Bao Yan Tu's idea is only one, hoping that the cavalry division of Bartel can quickly solve the crisis here from the outside.

  "Commander, the National Army troops are now less than two thousand meters away from here. They have a large number of people and we can't resist at all." A Mongolian military officer rushed in, reporting the latest situation with some panic.

  Hao Yan's face didn't look good, silently staring at the map beside him.

  Hesitating for a moment, Ho Ying-chin asked the officer: "Has there been any reply to our telegram? Why haven't they come to reinforce us?"

  The officer looked at Bao Yan's picture, shook his head and said: "There is no response yet, a telegram has been sent to the German king."

  "General, a telegram from General De, ordering us to immediately abandon Daur and preserve our strength." Just as Bao Yanting was speaking with the officers, a communication soldier rushed in and said.

  Bao Yan furrowed his brow, he knew what De Wang was thinking. At this age, the most important thing is to have troops. As long as you have troops, you can make a living anywhere, but once you lose your troops, you'll be a stray dog wherever you go. Especially now that they were traitors, if they didn't have troops, they would probably have been killed on the streets already.

  "Retreat." Takahiko gritted his teeth and shouted in discontent.

  The officer nodded and ran out towards the outside.

  As ordered by Bao Yan's diagram, the Mongolian army quickly abandoned each position and began to force their way towards the county town on one side.

  After seeing the Mongolian army flee, Yang Junran did not hesitate and ordered a search for the remaining Mongolian soldiers and strengthened the county's alert.

  "Commander Yang, Team Leader Zhang Junzhe reports that there are still many cavalrymen on the periphery who are putting them on high alert, he requests troop support." A messenger ran to Yang Junran's side.

  Yang Junran frowned and said to the messenger: "Go inform Commander Xu Da, have the machine gun battalion and mortar battalion support the troops outside. Order the 12th Battalion to search for military warehouses within the city, and the other two battalions to immediately guard the county seat."

  The orderly saluted and ran off in the direction of the distant firing line.

  The female soldiers' unit has begun treating their own sisters and clearing up the chaotic streets.

  In a lavishly decorated house, Yang Junran saw the map that the Mongolian army had not had time to take away, and even a Mongolian military knife became his spoils of war.

  Although it was decorated luxuriously here, it was in a mess, and several female soldiers quickly cleaned up.

  A chair was also cleared out, Zhou Yulan walked in with a gloomy face, this time the battle had caused them quite a few casualties.

  "Commander Yang, what's next?" Zhou Yulan frowned and sat in the chair facing Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran looked at the map and said to Zhou Yulan, "Let's rest for a night and set off early tomorrow. This time they've suffered quite a blow, and the supplies here haven't had time to be transported away. I think it'll be some time before they can launch an attack on us."

  Zhou Yulan hesitated for a moment, then said to Chen Qiaoru beside her: "Withdraw part of the troops to assist Commander Yang in defending the county seat, and rush to rescue the wounded. All other matters will be handed over to Commander Yang to handle, he will definitely give us a satisfactory result."

  She glared at Yang Junran and quickly walked out towards the outside.

  As the outer positions were strengthened in defense, Battle also began to retreat.

  He knew his own strength and also knew the equipment of the opposing country's military forces.

  If they were to launch an attack by force, they would probably end up with mutual destruction, which is something that Bator did not want to see.

  As the cavalry withdrew, the entire outer perimeter was also guarded by Yang Junran's two battalions.

  The perimeter of the city wall is guarded by female soldiers.

  Yang Junran was not idle, but patrolling around.

  Although the battle has ended, the people still don't seem to want to come out.

  "Commander, we've struck it rich this time!" Xu Da shouted out loud as soon as he saw Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran was like a head of foggy water, looking at Xu Da with confusion.

  "There's a lot of grain and ammunition in the military depot, and also a lot of money and goods were seized from the police station and county government. This time we've got enough to eat and drink for several years! A county town like this is really great, if we're going to fight, let's just attack one like this, and when we take it down, we'll get rich!" Xu Da said excitedly, looking at Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran smiled but didn't say anything.

  This money is to be divided among the people and Zhou Yulan's female soldiers. Adding their own share, there isn't much in each person's hands.

  But as Yang Junran thought, having something is better than nothing.

  "Organize the troops, distribute the money to the people in the county town, especially those from outside villages. We must take care of those who are particularly poor." Yang Junran looked at Xu Da beside him and said with a smile, after all, they had won such a great victory, and Yang Junran was still very happy inside.

  "Yes, Commander." Xu Da bowed respectfully and prepared to rush over to one side.

  "Wait a minute," Yang Junran called out to Xu Da, smiling as he said: "Gather the staff officers from each battalion and your detachment, disperse them to recruit soldiers. At least organize an entire detachment's worth of troops. Also, send any educated young people directly to the instructional corps. Our troops need to constantly expand, only then can we stand firm here."

  Xu Da nodded and confirmed that Yang Junran was fine before running over to one side.

  In the afternoon, the common people finally figured it out.

  A large amount of silver coins were distributed at will, and the households in the county seat received very little. The main recipients were still the villages around the county seat, but they deeply remembered the name of the guerrilla column.

  As for the matter of recruiting soldiers, it was welcomed by the common people.

  Many rural people directly joined the army, and there were even father-son soldiers, which made Yang Junran quite unexpected.

  But Yang Junran did not know that now ordinary people are living in a world of suffering, having such a good place to go, they will naturally not miss it.

  Until late at night, the recruitment of troops from all over had recruited more than 2,000 people, most of whom were sons and daughters from rural areas. The enthusiasm within the county seat was never very high.

  Troops everywhere were also busy, and according to the identification of the people around them, they caught many Mongolian and Han traitors. The homes of these people made Yang Junran extremely surprised.

  Not only has luxurious houses, but also a lot of gold and silver treasures.

  This made Yang Junran's face full of indignation, the more things these people had at home, the more severe the oppression the surrounding common people suffered.

  "Execute some of the most heinous ones on the spot, and also leave some money at their homes to support their basic living. Collect some large transport vehicles, prepare for transporting supplies, and also let the armored troops practice with those few captured trucks, strive to get them all running." Yang Junran said to Xu Da who was reporting in the command center.

  Xu Da nodded and asked, "Commander, shouldn't we transport all the grain away? Leaving it here would be giving it to the Japanese army. Why don't we take it all away? Those dozen or so cannons can't be given to the Mongolian army for nothing either."

  Yang Junran hesitated for a moment, then said to Xu Da: "Distribute the grain to the people in the surrounding areas, and transport all the rest away. As long as it's weapons and ammunition, even if we have to fight, I want them all back. Also, send the money to Commander Zhou. As for the weapons, temporarily transport them all to our place, and then transport them to Commander Zhou later."

  Xu Da nodded and walked out towards the outside with a salute.

  Looking out at the night scene, Yang Junran knew that Zhou Yulan was in a bad mood today. The female soldiers had lost a total of fifty people, which made Zhou Yulan extremely heartbroken.

  Yang Junran couldn't say it clearly, but since he knew Zhou Yulan was in a bad mood, Yang Junran's heart was very uncomfortable.

  But Di Wang of Gui Su had a face full of anger.

  He was originally unwilling to make an enemy of the Nationalist guerrilla forces, as evidenced by his refusal to attack Yang Junruan's county seat.

  This action was also aimed at driving out Zhou Yulan's mountain troops; otherwise, he would not have made a big fuss.

  Now Yang Junran's antics had enraged Duke De.

  Successively sent several telegrams, King De concentrated an army of 50,000 to 60,000 men, preparing to attack Du Lun and severely punish Yang Junran's troops.

  In order to achieve the goal of teaching Yang Junran a lesson, King De even mobilized two cavalry divisions. On the grasslands, cavalry had enormous killing power.

  Poor recommendation votes......
