Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

Xu Yan was standing on the north bank of the Laola River at this time, quietly watching the team wading across the river. The land of Kanto in May was still very chilly, and the icy water of the Laola River made him shiver all over.

Deputy regiment commander Wang Zhuguo asked for permission to light a bonfire for the soldiers to warm themselves. Xu Yan reluctantly agreed but wanted to limit the number of bonfires. With the strength of an entire regiment, the bonfires lit were not enough for a battalion of soldiers to warm themselves. However, due to the regiment commander's strict order, Wang Zhuguo could only let the troops take turns to warm themselves by the fire.

Wang Zhuguo really couldn't keep up with Xu Yan's pace. He said yesterday that he was not in a hurry to travel, but at night he ordered a rapid march and crossed the Laola River overnight into Heilongjiang Province. Even though he was riding a horse, he was a little exhausted.

At this moment, Xu Yan no longer had that playful look on his face. He looked at the troops crossing the river with a serious face, which actually looked quite majestic.

Just after daybreak, we received a report that a group of unidentified troops had appeared at the front of our position and asked for instructions on what to do.

Xu Yan was very sleepy now, and squinted his eyes as he said, "As long as you have a weapon in your hand and keep shouting, anyone who approaches within a hundred meters of the position will be eliminated on the spot."

Soon, the sound of gunfire was heard from the front. After a burst of dense gunfire, it fell silent again.

Wang Zhuguo felt that the silence was a little scary. He poked Zhao Wenyu beside him and whispered, "Old Zhao, who do you think is attacking us?"

Zhao Wenyu replied while roasting meat on the fire: "Of course they are bandits! We are here to suppress them." Then he handed Wang Zhuguo a skewer of sizzling meat.

Wang Zhuguo took a bite and boasted, "Old Zhao, your cooking skills are really good! What kind of meat is this? It smells really good."

Zhao Wenyu kept it a secret and said, "Who cares? As long as it tastes good, that's fine."

Sporadic gunshots rang out again. There was no report from the front. It should not be a big problem. Wang Zhuguo simply sat on the ground and chatted with Zhao Wenyu. After a few days of getting along, the two of them still felt a little bit of mutual appreciation.

After they finished eating the skewers, Xu Yan slowly got up, stretched and walked out of the tent. The adjutant put a coat on him, but it was still a bit cold.

Coming to the fire and watching the two people eating with their mouths full of oil, Wang Zhuguo still had black charcoal on the corners of his mouth, it seemed that they were eating very well. He casually said: "You two are eating this field mouse meat very deliciously."

Wang Zhuguo was stunned when he heard Xu Yan's words.

"Captain, what are you talking about? Wang Zhuguo stared at Xu Yan.

"Field mice. When we were crossing the river yesterday, I saw Lao Zhao catching several of them by the river! Lao Zhao likes to roast them and eat them. Don't you know? Didn't Lao Zhao tell you?" Xu Yan looked at Wang Zhuguo with a joking expression.

Wang Zhuguo turned to the side with a wow and vomited everything! Wang Zhuguo felt his stomach churning. He pointed at Xu Yan, then at Zhao Wenyu, and vomited again without saying a word.

Zhao Wenyu smiled and shook his head, then handed the remaining skewer to Xu Yan and said, "Captain, do you find it funny to keep teasing the deputy commander like this? Deputy Commander Wang, this is top-quality yellow beef, what kind of field mouse meat is that? Don't spit it out! It's such a waste."

Wang Zhuguo didn't hear anything else but the word "voles", and he vomited even harder.

Suddenly, there was a whistling sound of air tearing in the sky, and several shells landed around with deafening explosions.

A staff officer ran over in the smoke.

"Report to the commander, the bandits on the opposite side suddenly launched a fierce attack!"

At this time, Wang Zhuguo was also awakened by the explosion and said first: "Fuck you bandits! This is obviously a 75mm mountain cannon shell! Your bandits have this thing!"

"Captain, it seems that the Heilongjiang Province army is attacking us. They are really going to rebel!" Wang Zhuguo turned and said to Xu Yan.

"Send a telegram to the Corps Headquarters and Fengtian Headquarters to report our current situation."

"Order the entire regiment to enter a wartime state. The Second Battalion must also go up and hold the riverside position! The Third Battalion will serve as a reserve force and be on standby at all times." Xu Yan gave the orders calmly one by one.

Everyone moved when they heard the sound.

Xu Yan said to Zhao Wenyu, "Chief of Staff Zhao, let's move as well. Move the command post to the small hill behind the first battalion's position."

At this time, there was already a fierce exchange of fire in the front position. A group of people dressed in civilian clothes were attacking fiercely, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were not bandits at all! They were clearly regular troops!

Fortunately, the Third Army Corps had good combat effectiveness under Guo Tianyun's management. The 122nd Regiment was the main force with extremely high combat quality. The commander of the first battalion was not panicked but rather excited. He thought that this trip was just a formality, but he didn't expect to actually get a fight. How could this be an enemy? This was a shining military achievement!

Xu Yan, standing on the hillside not far away, watched the performance of the First Battalion and couldn't help but admire that the Third Corps led by Guo Tianyun was really extraordinary, and their combat quality was really not exaggerated. Xu Yan had not actually experienced a real war, but the actual combat exercises he participated in as a PLA elite in his previous life were not inferior to a low-intensity actual combat, so Xu Yan was not immediately frightened by this sudden positional battle.

But Xu Yan also knew that the enemy must be the Dongning Army. He had no fighting spirit in this kind of internecine war. Wu Junsheng must have taken the wrong medicine. How could he do such a stupid thing?

Xu Yan muttered to himself.

Zhao Wenyu, who was standing next to him, had a look of disdain on his face, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously. He thought to himself, "Isn't it you who forced him into this situation? If you hadn't repeatedly provoked Wu Junsheng, how could he have come to this point? From scheming his nephew Wu Tiankui to sending people to spread rumors everywhere and sending troops to occupy the riverside position first, weren't they all your masterpieces? Now you are being kind."

Xu Yan obviously noticed the change in Zhao Wenyu's expression, and suddenly turned to Zhao Wenyu and said in an extremely firm tone: "Chief of Staff Zhao, I am determined to take Bincheng! Not for anything else, just to have our own strategic rear! To realize our ideals in the future!"

At this time, there was also a young man on the opposite side, who was paying close attention to the developments on the battlefield in real time. He was tall and had a typical Kanto look, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and high cheekbones. He looked very serious.

He was holding a telescope and looking at the battlefield in the distance. Seeing his soldiers falling one after another, he decisively ordered to stop the attack.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Withdraw all the troops!" If it was the bandits who crossed the river, it would be a loss, but now it was actually the Guanning Army of Heilong Province! He lost dozens of people in such a long time. He couldn't afford this loss!

This person is none other than Wu Junsheng’s only son, Wu Xiushan!

Wu Xiushan is only 28 years old this year and he is already the major general brigade commander of the newly formed 11th Brigade. There is nothing he can do about it since his father is the military governor!

Wu Xiushan was not comparable to his stupid cousin. Wu Xiushan had great ambitions since childhood. In his early years, he traveled to Western countries and was sent by Wu Junsheng to study at the Japanese Army Academy for three years. When he was studying in Japan, he had excellent grades in every class. He was a classmate of many senior officers in the Kwantung Army. Therefore, he had a close connection with the Kwantung Army.

Although he disagreed with his father's views, he also wanted to have his own sphere of influence in this chaotic world. In particular, his relationship with the Kwantung Army made him feel that it was necessary and powerful to help his father escape from Fengtian's control. Fengtian's young marshal was about the same age as him, so why could he point fingers everywhere? It was just because he relied on his father. This time he came to Heilongjiang Province and forced his father into a desperate situation, so he had to resist.

"Commander, the defensive position opposite you is like a turtle shell. It's difficult to break through!" said a regimental commander under his command in a deep voice.

"Pass the order to stop the attack and all troops go on defense. We just need to keep them out of Heilongjiang Province. They don't have the strength to attack for a while, so we will trap them here on the river beach! Keep an eye out, and bombard them if you find a convoy carrying supplies crossing the river! I want to see how long they can hold out here!" Wu Xiushan said with disdain.

He knew that as long as he could hold on, there would be changes! As long as he could resist Fengtian's offensive, the Kwantung Army would make a new judgment on the situation in Kwantung ahead. At that time, with the support of the Kwantung Army, Heilongjiang Province might really have the possibility of independence. Thinking of this, Wu Xiushan couldn't help but smile.

The two sides have been confronting each other on the banks of the Laola River for three days. The other side has not attacked, but the annoying thing is that they bombard Xu Yan's transport team from time to time. Now Xu Yan is running out of supplies.

This time I have met my match.

What made him even more uneasy was that Guo Tianyun's follow-up troops had not made any movement. Every time he asked, they said they were marching at full speed. However, his scouts had already run more than 300 miles, but still hadn't seen any reinforcements! Xu Yan couldn't afford to waste time like this!

"Captain, we can't just sit there like this! We have to think of a solution." Wang Zhuguo said with a pale face.

"Captain, something's wrong. According to the calculation, Captain Guo's troops should have arrived long ago, but now there is no trace of them. This is very abnormal." Zhao Wenyu said, looking at the map.

Xu Yan sat there still leisurely drinking coffee. He couldn't show any panic at this time, otherwise the people below would be even more uncertain.

But who knows how long he can hold on like this? Xu Yan has already cursed Guo Tianyun 180 times in his heart! Where did this old guy go? Did he get lost? My great plan didn't fit Wu Junsheng, but trapped me to death in this Lala River.

Xu Yan didn't know that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching him at this moment!

Xu Yan didn't know that Guo Tianyun had already abandoned the entire 122nd Regiment from the moment he set out!

No one knows when Guo Tianyun and Tang Yangjing got together! The relationship between these two people gives outsiders the impression that they have always been tit-for-tat and dislike each other! It is precisely this illusion that deceived everyone! These two people hid a huge game from everyone! Everyone became their pawn!

Just when Xu Yan was eagerly waiting for Guo Tianyun's reinforcements, an explosive news came.

Guo Tianyun, deputy commander of the Third Corps of the Dongning Army, and Tang Yangjing, governor of Zhiji, jointly issued a telegram, announcing that they jointly nominated and supported the young commander as the new commander of Guandong! They hoped that Marshal Yu Lin would step down and hand over power immediately, and asked the old commander to hand over the overseas students in the Dongning Army, led by Chief of Staff Lei Zhenting, and punish them!

Less than a day later, the two issued another joint telegram, stating that in view of the inaction of Fengtian, the two would form a coalition to attack the villains around the old Fengtian Marshal, such as Lei Zhenting, and reiterated that they would support the young Marshal in power. The coalition called itself the Northeast National Defense Army!

When this news came, the whole situation changed dramatically! Xu Yan was completely confused by this explosive news.

This was beyond his expectations. He never thought that Guo Tianyun would actually take action in advance! Now he was in big trouble! He could not count on reinforcements at all. With Guo Tianyun and Tang Yangjing as the two rebel forces, Fengtian could not care about Wu Junsheng who was far away in Heilongjiang Province!

Upon hearing the news of Guo Tianyun and others' rebellion, Wu Junsheng was extremely happy. He had been under a lot of pressure, but he never expected that the people sent by Yu Linshuai to suppress him would rebel halfway. This was a perfect opportunity!

"Go and call Xiushan back for me!" Wu Junsheng suddenly became full of energy, no longer as listless as a frost-bitten eggplant as he had been in the past few days.

He wanted to get in touch with the Kwantung Army. In these chaotic times, as long as he could gain the support of the Kwantung Army, his territory would be completely stable.

Fengtian was in complete chaos at this time. Tang Yangjing's troops advanced from the Linyu area to Fengtian from west to east, encountering almost no resistance along the way. They have now arrived at Tajin, less than 200 kilometers away from Fengtian. After Tajin to Fengtian, there is a vast plain with no strategic location to defend!

This is not the most dangerous thing. The most deadly thing right now is Guo Tianyun's Third Army! No one knows where this large-scale Dongning elite force is now? It's as if it disappeared out of thin air! This is the most elite force of the entire Dongning Army! No matter where it comes from, it will be a fatal blow to Fengtian at this time!

In Fengtian, the lights in the Dongning Army Headquarters were on, and the large conference room on the third floor was now filled with military and political leaders.

Sitting in the middle was the famous Rain Forest Marshal, but now he looked a little lonely. He couldn't withstand the continuous attacks. Even though he was the Rain Forest Marshal, he couldn't bear it.

"Are you all speechless? Tell me, what should we do? Aren't you usually very capable?" Marshal Yu Lin said calmly with a gloomy face, but everyone could see that Marshal Yu Lin was suppressing his anger.

As expected, seeing that everyone was keeping their heads down and silent, Marshal Yu Lin slammed the cup onto the conference table! His voice also rose several degrees, and it was a little hoarse: "You are all mute! I need you guys, and you don't say anything! If you don't say anything, then you all go to the front line and fight with bayonets!"

The young marshal was really getting restless. After all, he was responsible for this matter. He was the one who brought Guo Tianyun up, and he was well aware of Guo Tianyun's dissatisfaction with the Dongning Army and Marshal Yu Lin. However, he did not guide or persuade him well, nor did he talk to his father. Instead, he confidently handed over the defense of the most elite Third Army to him. He didn't even know that Guo Tianyun was going to rebel until a second before he sent the telegram!
