Retreating to the north was also the result of his discussion with Hu Xuchu.
The Hulaowan coal mine was already in the depths of the Japanese's occupied territory. No matter how many people there were, they were still a very conspicuous target.
Moreover, this place was not far from the border between Jin Province and Suiyuan Province. As long as they entered the Cobalt Prairie of Inner Mongolia, they would be able to walk in all directions. They would not have to worry about the Japanese pursuing them.
"What?"
At this moment, Wu Jian, who was sitting in the driver's seat of a truck, looked at a piece of paper for a long time and finally translated a sentence,"
It's just that your soldiers told me to tell you that Old Li beat up Xie Baoqing in your stronghold!
Wu Jian was immediately amused. Li Yunlong was indeed hot-tempered. Wu Jian had thought that his brother was willing to ally with the bandits and highwaymen he had just recruited to fight against the Japanese.
However, Chu Yunfei replied with a telegram. It seemed that Duan Peng had said that Li Yunlong had beaten Xie Baoqing up.
"Thank you, Regiment Commander Chu. When I return to the Black Cloud Stronghold, I will invite Regiment Commander Chu to boil some wine and discuss the heroes.”
After sending a simple reply to Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment radio station, Wu Jian fell into deep thought again.
"Haha, looks like this so-called Chinese War Alliance's Brother Wu Jian isn't a fake who only talks but doesn't practice, nor is he a fool who only practices but doesn't say anything.”
The last time Wu Jian left, Chu Yunfei almost exploded when he heard that Wu Jian wanted the password book of their radio station.
However, he didn't know what he was thinking at that time. Perhaps he thought that Wu Jian had deceived everyone in Regiment 358 the first time he appeared. In order to fight the Japanese, he dared to come to their door. In the end, Wu Jian's wish was granted. All the officers in the regiment, including Chief of Staff Fang, complained about this.
After thinking about it, Wu Jian still let Hu Zi return to the Black Cloud Stronghold alone. He had to persuade Old Li not to act rashly. He had to be more patient when facing his newly naturalized brothers.
Otherwise, if these people really started a mutiny and something happened to Li Yunlong, it would not be worth it. Wu Jian couldn't leave for the time being. First of all, he had to train his 1,000-plus brothers. Secondly, this was the Menggu Plateau after all. He couldn't just abandon 1,000 people here and be a hands-off manager, whether it was morally or personally.
"Wang Chengzhu, teach our brothers how to use mortars. Tyrant, we need your guidance on our design skills.”
"Captain Hu, you said that there are a few brothers in our team who were originally from Suiyuan Province. This will be much easier. Let them take the money and military tickets that we seized from the Japanese and the Japanese to buy more horses. We must become a cavalry. Remember, if you're an ordinary herdsman doing business with the common people, don't do anything like bullying the market or robbing other people's resources!”
In a bag, Wu Jian made a gesture of taking money from the box on his back. He threw out a large pile of money and a pile of paper notes.
The three of them received the order and walked out of Meng Cobu Bao. Wu Jian could not help but mutter softly to himself,
"Should we bring this team back, or should we leave them here and let them develop freely as a reserve team for future work?”
The meaning behind this sentence was also what Wu Jian had been thinking about during the past few days on the road. Should he go against the current pseudo-Mengwu autonomous government in Suiyuan, or should he think of a way to bring these troops to the northwest of Shanxi so that he could have a say in the handling of regional affairs?
Although it was still up in the air, Wu Jian had already confirmed his route back to the northwest of Shanxi. He would not pass through the occupied areas, nor would he go straight. Instead, he would walk in an arc to the west from his current position.
At present, he had more than ten cars from the Guizi coal mine. It was a little unrealistic to put them on the prairie for the Hu Lao Wan Independent Brigade to use. After all, it was extremely difficult to replenish gasoline and fuel in this era.
However, if he used these cars as a stepping stone, he might at least be able to make contact with the color party. It was not to say that they were kneeling and sucking up to the color party. At least they could have the right to talk to the Jinxi Iron Triangle Office, which was a subsidiary of this rising venture group.
"Dear Zhao Qin, you haven't had breakfast yet. My father asked me to bring you some food.”
Suddenly, the thick cloth door was pushed open, and a young girl who looked like she was in the prime of her youth came to Wu Jian's side with milk tea and goat milk.
"Oh, it's Sudia. I've really troubled you to send this over personally.”
Wu Jian hurriedly stood up when he heard that. Seeing that the young woman had put down the things and stood still in the same place without responding to his gratitude, he could only take the initiative to ask again,
"I say, little sister Sudia, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
"Big Brother Wu, I…I want to join your Chinese Anti-Japanese Alliance!”
The young woman bit her lips as if she had made up her mind.
"Join us? No, no, your brother, Ah Ji, has already joined us. If I let you, the only girl, join us now, I reckon that your Ah Ji will directly sweep me out when the time comes.”
Wu Jian replied half-jokingly. In fact, Wu Jian was quite happy and surprised that his fellow Mengko tribe members had joined. However, the herdsman had already placed his son in his own team. Wu Jian did not want the children of this family to suffer with his troops.
"Brother Wu, it seems like you're the same as me, Abu, and Ah Ji, looking down on us girls.”
"Why can you have my Ah Ji but not me? If it really is a unit that doesn't treat us girls as humans, then…then even if you want to invite me, I'm still not willing to join!”
The girl's brain worked quite quickly, and she was also good at observing.
Wu Jian brought more than a thousand people over. Not only did they not barge into her family's Meng Cobalt bag, but they did not even touch the sheep pen.
On the night of their arrival, in order to help everyone out from the cold, it was Wu Jian who came forward and bought a few old sheep from Sudia's family at twice the price of the nearby market.
In the end, even if the group of people squeezed together and slept in the snow nest, they were unwilling to disturb the herdsman's house.
Therefore, the middle-aged uncle of this herdsman made a decision the next day to let his son Bu He join the Chinese Anti-Japanese Alliance Army.
"Can you tell me why you want to join the army?”
Wu Jian was stunned by the other party's words. He really didn't know whether to accept it or not.
"I want to fight the Japanese devils. I once stayed in Jin Province for a while. There, I saw more than once Japanese devils entering the homes of ordinary people in broad daylight and robbing them of things. Some of them even…even ruined the innocence of Han women.”
"I know that if it wasn't for the protection of our Prince Demchupu, we Mengko women wouldn't have been able to escape this fate. However, in the end, we are all Chinese. We have been a family since the time of the great Genghis Khan.”
Sudia had indeed followed her family to the capital of Jin Province for a period of time. However, because it was in the area occupied by the Japanese, the security and other aspects were indeed relatively poor, so she returned to the grasslands.
"Well said, Sudia!"
"Whether it's the Mengko Tribe or our Han Tribe, we're all Chinese. We're indeed a family!”
"With your awareness, I think you're much stronger than your brother Bu He. However, there is one thing I want to make clear to you. The Prince Muchu Depu you mentioned has given up the glory that originally belonged to him. Just like Emperor Xun of the previous dynasty, he is a puppet regime supported by the Japanese. To put it bluntly, he is a traitor!”
"If you can accept and agree with my point of view, then I can consider persuading Uncle Wurigendai to let you join us.”
To be honest, Wu Jian was very excited to hear the young man from the Menggu Tribe say such words in the grasslands. Although the situation of the war was relatively grim, China's thousands of years of profound culture and accumulation of time could make all the invading enemies end in failure.
Even the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty were eventually assimilated by the Chinese and integrated into the long-standing Chinese culture.
"Hmm, this…is that really the case?”
"Why does everyone around me tell me that Prince Demuchup is a benevolent and brave hero who fought against the Japanese for the interests of the Mengko people?”
Sudia's face revealed an extremely shocked expression. She did not dare to imagine that the orthodox person in power in her heart would actually be the traitor that Wu Jian had mentioned.
At this moment, a burly young man wearing a thin robe suddenly walked in and ran to Wu Jian's side with a nervous expression.
