Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

Before leaving, Xu Yan wanted to go and see Hu Ruoxue, but he was worried about the feeling of separation. He didn't dare to look at Hu Ruoxue's worried eyes, so after thinking about it, Xu Yan wrote a letter and gave it to Uncle Hong, asking Uncle Hong to pass it to Hu Ruoxue after he left.

At this time, Xu Yan didn't know that his departure would almost mean his final farewell to Hu Ruoxue! This is a story for later, so I won't go into details here.

Uncle Hong held the letter written by Xu Yan and said angrily, "Er Gouzi, you are so mean. You took office and got promoted but didn't even mention taking me and Zhuzi with you!"

Hearing this, Xu Yan said seriously, "Uncle Hong, you should stay in Fengtian. It's safe to stay in the Marshal's Mansion. It's too dangerous to go to the front with me. You shouldn't take the risk! And I have another task for you. Help me protect Ruoxue in Fengtian!"

Uncle Hong looked at Xu Yan with a sincere face and stopped talking nonsense. He gave a few instructions and got up to leave.

The next day, Xu Yan led the 122nd Regiment to set off immediately!

Time was running out, and Xu Yan did not make any special arrangements for Fang Tianlong's Seventh Company. He simply hastily incorporated him into the company directly under the 122nd Regiment and hurriedly set off.

Fang Tianlong was riding with Zhao Wenyu on horseback behind Xu Yan. After checking that there were no outsiders, he said with a smile, "Captain, I didn't expect that our brothers would be together again, hehe."

Hearing Fang Tianlong say this, Xu Yan also felt a little emotional, and continued softly: "Yes, I don't know how Liu Kunyi and Liu Fengquan are doing? Have they helped me take care of Jiming Mountain?"

"Captain, have you ever thought about what we would do if we met them on the battlefield?" Zhao Wenyu suddenly said worriedly after thinking for a moment.

Fang Tianlong was shocked when he heard this! Yes, everyone knows that this trip to Bincheng is to help suppress bandits, and it might be to attack Governor Wu. Those two are now in the army of Heilongjiang Province. What will happen if there is any mishap on the battlefield?

Xu Yan smiled but didn't say anything. He knew very well that this would not happen. But there was no need to say more at this time.

Wang Zhuguo, the deputy commander of the 122nd Regiment, was in a very bad mood at this time. Ever since the commander of the 122nd Regiment, Qi Wei, was promoted for meritorious service after the war against Zhili, the position of the commander had been vacant. He had been acting as the commander for more than half a year. He saw that the commander was the only one who could take over, but who would have thought that Xu Yan would come! Wang Zhuguo also asked around about Xu Yan's name, and after hearing the news, Wang Zhuguo had a headache. This guy was a favorite of the young marshal, and he was lucky enough to have saved the young marshal's life and the life of the commander of the Guo army! No wonder this guy was promoted from a small platoon leader to the commander of the regiment in just a few months!

But there is also a good situation. This kid used to be a soldier under his brother! Yes, his brother is the company commander Wang Dingguo who led people to intercept the Fengtian Police Station! He still remembers the scene of seeing Xu Yan yesterday.

Especially when Xu Yan knew that Wang Zhuguo was Wang Dingguo's biological brother, his enthusiasm made Wang Zhuguo somewhat overwhelmed.

Before they parted, Xu Yan told him seriously that the position of the head of the regiment would be his sooner or later, and he, Xu Yan, would not stay in this position for long. It seemed that what he said was true. Could it be that this guy looked down on the head of the main regiment of the Dongning Army?

Now looking at Xu Yan who was riding his horse slowly and lazily in front of him, Wang Zhuguo still felt mixed emotions. He hoped that what he said was true, and he would not be able to stay in this position for too long.

After a forced march in the past few days, Xu Yan asked the entire army to slow down starting from yesterday so that the marching speed could catch up with the sightseeing group. According to Xu Yan's instructions, Wang Zhuguo reported the marching position to the corps headquarters on time every day, and the corps headquarters did not issue too many orders.

Just now, Xu Yan ordered to stop marching and set up camp. Seeing Xu Yan sitting in a camp chair and eating beef jerky leisurely, Wang Zhuguo couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Captain, at this pace, how long will it take us to reach Bincheng?"

Xu Yan was stunned when he heard this and then smiled and said, "Bincheng? Why are we going to Bincheng? Who said we are going to Bincheng?"

Seeing Xu Yan's ignorant expression, Wang Zhuguo suppressed his anger and said, "Captain, you are kidding! When we set out, the corps commander strictly ordered us to rush to Bincheng as quickly as possible to assist the Heilongjiang Provincial Army in eliminating the bandits. The commander will not forget it, right?"

Xu Yan let out a long sigh as if he had suddenly realized something, and asked, "So what?"

Wang Zhuguo was really getting anxious.

"The commander's orders are as heavy as a mountain! This is no joke!"

Wang Zhuguo was really anxious. He didn't think much about it. He simply thought that Xu Yan was a person with no real talent and could only flatter others. He was lucky to be the leader of the regiment. However, since he was the leader of the 122nd Regiment, he, as the deputy leader, couldn't just sit back and watch!

"Captain Wang, don't be anxious. Look at the spring scenery with flowers in full bloom. It's so relaxing to take the brothers on a walk to enjoy the spring. Why are you in such a hurry? Come, come, sit down and have a cup of coffee with me."

Wang Zhuguo was so mad at Xu Yan, but he could do nothing because Xu Yan was the head of the regiment appointed by the higher-ups.

Wang Zhuguo angrily waved his hands, turned around with a gloomy face and walked away. He almost bumped into Zhao Wenyu who was walking in a hurry. He nodded and left.

Zhao Wenyu looked at Xu Yan who was sitting there calmly sipping coffee, and then looked at Wang Zhuguo who left angrily, and naturally guessed what happened.

He walked slowly into the tent and whispered, "Captain, Fang Tianlong is back."

Oh? Xu Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard Zhao Wenyu's words.

Soon Fang Tianlong, dressed in typical Northeastern rural household attire, walked in.

Xu Yan handed him a cup: "You've worked hard, come and have a drink first."

Fang Tianlong said he was really thirsty and had been busy getting on the road all the way.

As a result, he drank it all in one breath, and before he could react in the next second, he vomited it all out!

Fang Tianlong's face turned green: "Captain, give me some medicine!"

Seeing Fang Tianlong's reaction, Zhao Wenyu couldn't help but laugh secretly, with an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this."

Xu Yan had a sad face and said angrily, "What a waste of good stuff! These are imported coffee beans that I got with great difficulty, and I worked hard to grind them myself!"

After saying that, Xu Yan put on a serious expression and said, "Tell me, what's the result?"

"Captain, the entire Heilongjiang Province is basically under martial law now, and all the troops are on a war footing. They are telling the public that they are jointly suppressing bandits. Now they have closed the border area with Jilin and Liaoning Provinces. Entry and exit of checkpoints along the road are currently prohibited." Fang Tianlong said

"What about their troop deployment?" Xu Yan continued to ask.

"Just as the commander expected, Governor Wu left a part of the elite troops in Bincheng, and the rest of the troops were basically deployed along the road from the border of Jijiang Province to Bincheng! As for the bandits in Heilongjiang Province, they basically come and go freely as if they were in an empty land." Fang Tianlong said with admiration.

"Where is the Kwantung Army?" Xu Yan continued to ask expressionlessly.

"The Kwantung Army has also been dispatched. They are deployed along the railway line and prohibit any Chinese troops from approaching or trains from passing. I have sent out my men to closely monitor movements in all directions, and will do everything they can to pass on any news as soon as they get it." Fang Tianlong said in a low voice.

"Well done. You still have to make another trip to tell your brothers in the martial arts world that the Dongning Army is not here to target the bandits, but to wipe out the rebels!"

"Ah? Will this anger General Wu?" Fang Tianlong said in a lost voice.

"What do you think we are here for?" Xu Yan stared at the battle map while saying this.

Then he ordered Zhao Wenyu: "Order the first battalion to set out immediately to attack Caijiagou! Cross the Lao La River from Caijiagou as quickly as possible, build defensive fortifications on the other side of the river, and hold on until reinforcements! Without my order, you are not allowed to withdraw from the position! After dark, the entire regiment will set out and try to reach Caijiagou before dawn to meet up with the first battalion."

"Fang Tianlong, lead your brothers to Tianbao Town. I don't care what method you use, you must disrupt Tianbao Town! In order to contain the Kwantung Army!"

After listening to their respective tasks, the two went their separate ways to prepare.

Xu Yan continued to stare at the map and muttered, "Heilongjiang Province, I'm back again!"

At the same time, the Bincheng Governor's Mansion was also brightly lit, with officers of all levels coming in and out, creating a complicated yet orderly scene.

Wu Junsheng paced back and forth in his office, feeling restless! His telegram completely angered Marshal Yu Lin! His constant provocations finally brought him what he wanted!

Yes, all of this was done intentionally by Wu Junsheng. He just wanted Marshal Yu Lin to attack him so that he could stand on the moral high ground. He has worked hard in Heilongjiang Province for many years and will never willingly give up all of this! Since you, Yu Lin, don’t trust me, I have no choice but to do it alone! If you can contact the Japanese to support you, I can do that too! I agree to all the terms that you dare not agree to! I don’t believe that the Japanese will help you! And they will take your side!

He has received the news that Yu Lin has sent the elite Third Corps of the Dongning Army to Heilongjiang Province. It sounds nice to say that they are here to assist him in suppressing bandits, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are targeting him!

What he had to do was to strike back and wait for Guo Tianyun, the arrogant guy, to attack him first. Then, he, Old Wu, would send a telegram to the whole country to denounce Guo Tianyun's atrocities. Even if Yu Lin wanted to cover up the matter secretly, it would be impossible! He did not expect that the army in his hands could destroy Guo Tianyun, but it was not certain if the Kwantung Army was added!

Yu Lin, you forced me to do this! You actually used your son to set a trap for me. You really are willing to spend so much money!

Wu Junsheng looked out the window with a gloomy face. At this moment, the sky above Bincheng was just like the face of Marshal Wu, overcast and rainy, as if a storm was about to come.

A staff officer came in at this time.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the latest news from the front." The staff officer said loudly.

"Nian" Wu Junsheng still stood straight in front of the window looking outside.

"Part of the 122nd Regiment of the Dongning Army's Third Corps' advance force crossed the Lao La River early this morning and built defensive fortifications. Please ask for instructions on how to deal with it."

Wu Junsheng was shocked when he heard the news. Didn't he say yesterday that the troops that set out from Fengtian were dragging their feet all the way? How come they were right under his nose all of a sudden?

He turned around, took the telegram and read it again with an incredulous look on his face.

"Who is the commander of the 122nd Regiment?" Wu Junsheng asked coldly.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, yes, it is Xu Yan." The staff officer said hesitantly.

"It's this guy again! I have no kinship with him! He killed my own nephew and now he dares to come to Heilongjiang Province again! Does he really think that I, Wu Junsheng, am just a decoration?"

When Wu Junsheng heard that it was Xu Yan, he immediately became furious. This kid has never been quiet since he came to Heilongjiang Province! This is intolerable. Since we have fallen out, don't blame me for being rude!

"Order the front-line troops to attack and destroy this unit immediately while they are still struggling to gain a firm foothold!" Wu Junsheng immediately got excited.

"General, you must not do this! The 122nd Regiment is the main force of the 3rd Corps. We must not act rashly! If a war really starts, there will be no turning back!" The chief of staff next to him broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that Wu Junsheng was going to start a war.

"Contact Lieutenant Colonel Asada of the Kwantung Army for me. I want to talk to him." Wu Junsheng immediately thought of the Kwantung Army.

"General, even if we contact the Kwantung Army now, they won't help us! These bastards will only watch us both lose, and then help whoever wins. They will only add icing on the cake, and won't do anything to help in times of need. They haven't completely given up on Marshal Yu Lin. After all, Marshal Yu Lin has the final say in the territory of Kanto! We will only bring shame upon ourselves if we go looking for them now." The chief of staff said helplessly.

"This won't work, that won't work, then what do you say we should do? What's the point of keeping you guys here? You're useless at the critical moment!"

Wu Junsheng's adjutant suddenly walked in quietly.

Wu Junsheng waved his hand and asked everyone else to go out.

Seeing that no one was around, the adjutant whispered, "General, Guo Jianglong just sent someone to bring a message saying that the other forces he contacted have all retreated back to the mountain, and only his own troops are left. He wants to know what to do next."

"Who asked them to withdraw?" Wu Junsheng said coldly.

"Guo Jianglong said that the Guanning Army on the opposite side sent someone to pass on a message that as long as we are on the mountain now, they will forgive us for what happened. They are not here to suppress the bandits this time. Yes, they are here to attack you, the governor!" The adjutant bravely said it in one breath, and stood quietly by the side waiting for Wu Junsheng's little universe to explode, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so he secretly looked up at Wu Junsheng.

Wu Junsheng was sitting in a chair with a calm face. Could it be that he was so angry that he went crazy? The adjutant thought secretly.

After waiting for a long time, Wu Junsheng smiled and said, "Why didn't I think of that? Come on, tell Guo Jianglong to lead his men to attack the Guanning Army on the north bank of the Lao La River! If this is done, I will let her completely clean up her name and become a regiment commander! If she fails, then he can just wait for his family to collect his body!"

Wu Junsheng said it very easily, especially the last sentence. Although he said it easily and calmly, it sounded so eerie and terrifying in the adjutant's ears!

After the adjutant left, Wu Junsheng called the chief of staff.

"Arrange a group of bandits on the front line to launch a tentative attack on the Guanning Army crossing the river.
