Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

The person who spoke was none other than Zhao Wenyu, who was persuaded to surrender by Xu Yan.

Xu Yan shrugged and said calmly: "Roasting on fire? So what? I just don't know who will be roasted on the fire!"

"Haha, then congratulations to Deputy Captain Xu first." Zhao Wenyu laughed.

Watching the warlord's team walk away, the rest of the people gathered around and congratulated Xu Yan one after another.

Xu Yan's heart was actually very complicated. He knew Zhao Wenyu's intention very well, and he saw the viciousness of Governor Wu. But he didn't want to spoil everyone's fun at this time, so he shouted:

"Okay, brothers, it's Chinese New Year, let's kill the New Year pig today! What pork should we eat?"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered.

The lively atmosphere continued until late at night. Xu Yan ordered Liu Kunyi to take half a pig and give it to the people of Jiyu Village. When the people saw the half-pig of pork, they were all a little overwhelmed. They had never thought that there would be soldiers who would give them meat on New Year's Day! When Liu Kunyi put down the meat and turned to leave, the people actually knelt down to them involuntarily!

Seeing this scene, Liu Kunyi and his men felt mixed emotions. They all came from poor backgrounds. They didn't know what the others were thinking but they could see that they looked a little excited. Maybe they were thinking about their families and whether they would be able to meet a leader like Xu Yan who would send them some food and have a good New Year.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Yan's transfer order came down, and Xu Yan called several key members together for a meeting. However, this time there was one more person, Zhao Wenyu.

After incorporating the stragglers from Jiming Mountain, the Seventh Company has expanded again. Although there are still three platoons, the strength of each platoon has almost doubled. According to the previous method, the personnel have been reorganized and the personnel from Jiming Mountain have been added to each platoon.

Xu Yan attached great importance to the Seventh Company. He trained them all by himself. After several months of training, everyone underwent a qualitative change, not only in their abilities, but most importantly in their thoughts. Xu Yan planted the seeds of advanced thoughts in everyone's heart. Each of them was a spark!

Everyone was very reluctant to part, not only Xu Yan was leaving, Liu Fengquan and Liu Kunyi were also going to take up new posts. Fortunately, their respective posts were not too far away.

As they parted, Xu Yan looked at them and said in a deep voice: "No matter where we are in the future, I hope you can remember our achievements during this period of time! I hope you can think about it every day, what is our goal, what kind of soldier do you want to be? I know that you may not fully understand what I said now, but I hope you can remember the bottom line of being a human being!"

"In the near future, I believe that a large number of like-minded people will join us. By that time, we will become extremely powerful! We will build a new world where those who till the land will have their own land and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!"

Listening to Xu Yan's words, no one said anything, but they clearly saw something different from what they had seen and heard during this period of time. As people with the same hard background, they saw too many different things. It turned out that as long as you give sincerely, you will be rewarded with so much gratitude. Liu Kun thought of the villagers who knelt down to him, Fang Tianlong thought of the old lady who gave him the only corn cake in her hand, just because he listened to Xu Yan and helped the old lady to get a water tank of water; Liu Fengquan thought of his own tragic fate;

Xu Yan stopped talking and said to everyone, "When you get to your respective companies, I hope you will continue to pass on what I taught you and keep it up. I will visit you from time to time! If anyone is found to be not up to standard, you will have something to worry about!" Everyone laughed and said, "Don't worry, Captain! We won't give you this opportunity."

Then Xu Yan said to Fang Tianlong sternly: "Fang Tianlong, your mission is very difficult. You must hide and keep well the large amount of supplies we seized this time! There must be no mistakes! Jiming Mountain will be of great use to us in the future!"

Fang Tianlong also looked serious. He stood up and said, "Don't worry, Captain! I promise to complete the mission!"

After Xu Yan explained some more things, he mounted his horse and took Zhao Wenyu with him, and rushed towards the regiment headquarters without looking back; Liu Fengquan, Fang Tianlong and Liu Kunyi also said goodbye to each other and rushed to their new bases!

Soon Xu Yan and Zhao Wenyu arrived at the headquarters of the 344th Regiment.

Tianbao Town, the headquarters of the 344th Regiment, is close to the North Manchuria Railway and the coal mine. It is a prosperous town with a population of more than 10,000. There are all kinds of shops on the streets and people coming and going on the streets. Xu Yan and Zhao Wenyu rode two tall horses side by side, and they were particularly conspicuous on the street, and passers-by avoided them.

Zhao Wenyu looked at Xu Yan and said, "Captain, have you thought about how to deal with the next situation?"

"Old Zhao, do you really think of yourself as a military strategist? Do you want to figure out my psychology?" Xu Yan scolded with a smile.

Zhao Wenyu seemed to be seen through by Xu Yan. He was slightly stunned and said, "Captain, you are joking. I am just worried that you are not doing a stable job as the deputy captain!"

"Don't think too much. I always deal with things as they come! If General Wu tries to trip me up, I will use the same trick on him. I'm just worried about one thing happening now." After saying that, Xu Yan rode forward without saying anything else.

Zhao Wenyu was stunned. He wanted to hear Xu Yan continue to talk about what happened, but Xu Yan rode away first, so he hurried forward to catch up.

The headquarters of the 344th Regiment was stationed on the west side of Tianbao Town, close to the official road and easy to find. When Xu Yan arrived in front of the regiment headquarters, he looked at the guard at the door and said nothing. Zhao Wenyu shouted to the guard, "Go and inform them that the newly appointed deputy commander of the 344th Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Yan, has arrived."

When the guard at the door heard that it was the deputy commander, he hurried back: "Report to Deputy Commander Xu, the commander has ordered that since you have arrived, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment first. The commander has gone to meet with the Kwantung Army to discuss military secrets and is not in the regiment headquarters."

Zhao Wenyu frowned when he heard this, looked at Xu Yan and thought to himself that this was clearly a show of force.

Xu Yan said nothing, jumped off his horse and said to the guard: "Okay, then please lead us to our residence first."

Xu Yan arrived at his residence, lay down on the hard bed with his legs up in the air, and had a sound sleep without eating.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, waking Xu Yan up. "Who?"

"It's me, the leader. It's time for dinner." Zhao Wenyu replied from outside the door.

Xu Yan stood up and opened the door, and saw Zhao Wenyu standing outside the door with two guards carrying two large food boxes.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "I'm really a little hungry. Come in and eat together. I want to try the food in this regiment."

The two guards set the table for dinner and left. Zhao Wenyu then closed the door and said to Xu Yan:

"The commander hasn't come back yet. What's the point of talking to the Kwantung Army for so long?"

"Never mind! Let's eat." Xu Yan said as he stuffed his steamed bun into his mouth without even raising his head.

"I looked around today and found out some information. The head of this regiment is called Wu Tiankui, a distant nephew of Governor Wu. He has no real ability and became the head of this regiment thanks to Governor Wu. He doesn't have a very good reputation in Tianbao Town. I heard that he relies on this regiment to guard the transportation lines, colludes with the Japanese merchants of the Kwantung Army to smuggle coal, and tries every means to plunder and merge the nearby coal mines. He has two concubines in Tianbao Town alone! I heard that there are also some pretty girls and wives in Bincheng. If he takes a look at them, they will be in trouble."

Zhao Wenyu was not surprised by these things, because officials of this era were basically like this. People like Xu Yan were the exception.

At this time, in the Kwantung Army station outside Tianbao Town, Wu Tiankui was drinking sake and watching the Japanese artists dancing, hugging two Japanese geishas, ​​one on each side. Wu Tiankui was not interested in dancing, nor could he understand it, but he was very interested in beautiful women. Although he didn't know what they were dancing, he was happy to see the beautiful women twisting around in front of him. He felt itchy in his heart. If it weren't for Captain Yoshida of the Kwantung Army and a man from Fengtian next to him, he would have pounced on them long ago.

"Captain Wu, let me toast you." Yoshida raised his glass and looked at Wu Tiankui and said

"Captain Yoshida, you're too polite, haha." Wu Tiankui reluctantly withdrew his gaze and looked back at Yoshida.

"Captain Wu seems to be very interested in our country's traditional dance, so how about letting them accompany Captain Wu to study it tonight?" Yoshida looked at Wu Tiankui and felt extremely disgusted. What a good-for-nothing! If the person from Fengtian hadn't specifically asked him to come and ask for something, he wouldn't want to waste time here with this loser!

Hearing Yoshida say this, Wu Tiankui couldn't stop smiling, and even said pretentiously: "Captain Yoshida is too polite! How can I accept this?"

"Captain Wu, I heard that your group has appointed a new deputy commander. I wonder where this person is? Will it affect our business?" Yoshida asked in a deep voice.

"Deputy commander? You mean the deputy commander? Yes, there is one, and he should be here in a day or two. If he dares to ruin my good deeds, I will kill him! Captain Yoshida, don't worry! In Tianbao Town, I, Wu Tiankui, have the final say! I am not afraid even of Governor Wu!" Wu Tiankui said impatiently.

"Captain Wu, you may be being a little too arrogant." A man in a black robe next to him suddenly spoke up.

Wu Tiankui felt that this was a thorn in his side. He glanced at this person and then at Yoshida: "Captain Yoshida, who is this?"

"Captain Wu, you are so forgetful. I just introduced you to Mr. Fujima Ken'o from Fengtian Mitsui Mori Corporation. He came to Tianbao Town to visit Captain Wu on behalf of Mr. Mitsui Mori."
