Mufu Mountain is 160 kilometers away from Changsha, 90 kilometers from Yueyang, and 240 kilometers from Wuhan.

The Makufu Mountain is high and densely forested, the ravines are deep, the animal and plant resources in the area are very rich, not only has the largest area of the Huangshan pine mother forest in the central and southern regions of China, but also has the southern yew, fragrant fruit tree, bell calyx wood, semi-maple lotus, goose paw tree, ginkgo biloba and other valuable tree species. There are more than 200 kinds of precious wild medicinal materials such as Yunlian, Shake Zhuxiao, Eucommia ulmoides, Magnolia officinalis, etc. There are also 52 species of rare animals such as clouded leopards, golden eagles, yellow-bellied horned pheasants, tiger frogs, hawksbill turtles, and pangolins.

The abundant flora and fauna add a bit of mystery and wild interest to Mt. Makufu.

The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army bypassed the Mt. Makufu and went along the east side of the Mt. Mufu in a narrow valley in a vain attempt to encircle the 15th Army and annihilate the 15th Army in the Pingjiang area.

This is, of course, their wishful thinking.

Han Xing's troops wanted to penetrate the Makufu Mountain and take advantage of the steep terrain of the Makufu Mountain to intercept the Japanese army, or cause serious attrition. There are nearly 80 kilometers from Huangshajie Station to Jilong Mountain in Mufu Mountain, and this area is full of high mountains and dense forests, which is a big test for Han Xing's southern expeditionary army.

The Southern Expeditionary Army, armed with torches and under the leadership of He Hunan, drilled into the black Mufu Mountain.

Han Xing saw that the mountain shadows were jagged, like a sword halberd, reproducing a certain harsh battle formation in ancient times. From time to time, I thought of the slaughter, the bloodshed, and the desolate sacrifices, and my heart crossed with fear and compassion. At this time, the stars appeared one after another, and soon the sky was filled. The vision gradually brightened, the shadow of the mountain became thick and gentle, and there was no road in the reckless barren mountains, but with a step on these soldiers, they came out of the road, and the thin stream of people meandered in the moonlight, like a continuous flow of milk.

Han Xing felt the mercy of the ruthless universe in the unconscious. For the sake of a small group of nightcrawlers, the universe used all its lighting: the Big Dipper, Vega, Sirius, Scorpio, Lyra, Virgo...... At this time, they are all working at full capacity for our army, and the fierce sky wolf is also diligently generating electricity and lighting for me. Every star above my head is projecting light and tenderness at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second.

At this time, these 400 or so people walked in the folds of the mountains, walking in the vast providence.

Tiredness and fatigue struck from time to time, but the desire to fight, the hatred of the enemy, stimulated the force again, and made it work harder to advance towards the enemy.

The morning sun weakly pierces through the thin mist and emits the light of Mt. Makufu. Xiao Xiao's fallen leaves fluttered to their heart's content under the care of the cool breeze, sleeping quietly. Birds drifting from nowhere sing in the mountains and forests rise and fall, adding a bit of tranquility. The mountains and forests in the early morning are like sleeping babies, greedily breathing in the gifts of God.

After a night's march, due to the rugged mountain roads, He Hunan said that he had only traveled more than 80 miles, which was already quite good.

The morning mist was like a milky veil, gently covering a young girl's face. The fog was picturesque, illusory, dreamlike. It makes people feel like they are in a dreamland.

The mountains and forests stretched and woke up from their slumber, and the morning sun sprinkled its golden light on the earth and the mountains and forests. Everything in the mountains and forests has awakened! Soak up the warm sun!

Slowly, the fog cleared, revealing the girl's veil. She wears a long green dress decorated with pearls and beautiful flowers. The golden sunlight gilded her with a faint circle of light, making her look even more beautiful and moving.

The wind in the mountains blows the smoke of the sunrise. The troops will have to bury the pot to cook and replenish the soldiers with new nutrition.

The blue sky was extremely clear, with only a few light clouds like tulle, connected in the air, like flocks of sheep, all dressed in charming white fur, running on the blue grassland. The panting red sun, surrounded by a narrow and bright band of clouds, hung restlessly to set the treetops on fire and pour its orange-red splendor on the riverbank.

After the troops had eaten and rested a little, they continued their advance.

Suddenly, a light rain fell in the sky. The fluttering rain is like a beautiful angel. The drizzling rain and the rustling of leaves made a beautiful song. So harmonious, so natural, the animals frolicked and played in this beautiful melody, which broke the tranquility of the original mountain forest and added a few touches of fantasy.

The rain, which is a naughty elf, falls on the bamboo forest for a while, and falls on the leaves for a while, making a crisp sound. "Ding Dong Ding Dong", echoing in the valley.

Gradually, the musicians stopped playing, the rain stopped, and everything in the mountains and forests was clothed in water. The green is cute, and the green is dazzling.

The birds chatted with relish and poured out the beauty of the rain. The clouded leopards were running happily, playing freely and happily. Crystal dew fell on the delicate petals, and the sun shone on this mountain forest again, everything ...... Tranquility was restored again.

In the afternoon, the troops passed through the Makufu Mountain and arrived at the area of Jilong Mountain on the eastern side of the Makufu Mountain. At this time, it was September 27.

Han Xing hurriedly arranged for the troops to rest, and he and Pan Xiaoan, Yin Zhaoli, and Zhang Xiaosan went to check the terrain. Han Xing saw that the terrain in this area was excellent, although it was a valley after the Makufu Mountain, and it was barely able to pass the large army of the Japanese army, but because it was close to the Makufu Mountain, the terrain was still very steep, and it was a good place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Han Xing said to a few of them: "I opened this mountain, I bought this road, even if I took the money, I won't let you in." ”

Several people also nodded their heads and said, "Yes, even if I take the money, I won't let you in." ”

The 33rd Division was a newly formed division, and Okamura Ninji was afraid that they would not have combat effectiveness, so he specially asked them to carry out the task of outflanking the middle road and headed south along the Makufu Mountain.

In Okamura's opinion, the number of national troops in the Makufu Mountains is limited, and there will be relatively no fierce battles. There are also reasons why Okamura Ninji "takes care" of the 33rd Division so much.

The 33rd Division was originally the so-called public security division, not a 4-unit unit like the A Division, but a 3-unit division.

The so-called 4-unit division is that a division has 2 brigades under its jurisdiction, and each brigade has 2 infantry wings, so that 1 division has 4 infantry wings.

The total strength of the 4-unit division is close to 30,000 people, and the 3rd, 6th, and 13th divisions above are all such divisions.

The original intention of the 3-unit division was to deal with the so-called public security operations in the area under their control, so there was no brigade under the division, and 3 wings were directly under their jurisdiction! As a result, the strength of the division was greatly reduced, generally only about 20,000 people.

Although it is a 3-unit division, it is also a member of the A division, and when it fights with the national army, it is equipped with many heavy weapons, and its combat effectiveness is not weak.

Fortunately, when the 33rd Division was formed, it had already received intensive training in China, so the troops were much stronger than the 101st and 106th Divisions of that year.

The commander of the 33rd Division, Shigetaro Gansu, is also a professional soldier who has been studying at the Sendai Army Local Infant School since elementary school, and has participated in many battles after joining the army, and is a soldier who has experienced a hundred battles. In China, he participated in the 128 Shanghai Campaign, the Northeast Volunteer Army Campaign, and has considerable experience in fighting in China.

Drawing lessons from the 101st Division, the 106th Division, and other ad hoc divisions, the 33rd Division and other security divisions did not simply use reserve officers and soldiers to form divisions and regiments, but removed a large number of officers and veterans from the front-line divisions and regiments as the backbone, and supplemented the recruits to form divisions and regiments.

In this way, the 33rd Division is no longer a rookie unit with no combat experience in the entire division, and it has considerable combat effectiveness.

However, since the 33rd Division assumed the task of outflanking the Chinese 15th Group Army, it has not encountered any "good luck".

First of all, they were subjected to layers of resistance by the Chinese 79th Army and the 20th Army. It is said that the 79th Army and the 20th Army did not have many people, but they were based on the favorable terrain and blocked the 33rd Division layer by layer, making the 33rd Division advance slowly.

Okamura Ninji gave the order to the 33rd Division that on the 30th, the 6th Division and the 13th Division must be on the front line of the Miluo River in order to start the encirclement and annihilation of the 15th Army. Today is already the 27th, and the 33rd Division has only rushed left and right in the mountains, and finally arrived at Jilong Mountain, which is still far from the front line of the Miluo River.

Ganji Jutaro saw the steep Jilong Mountain in front of him, and let out a deep sigh: "Jilong Mountain is very steep, I hope the troops of China will no longer block in front!" ”

His chief of staff, Major General Omizu, said to him: "I hope not, according to the intelligence department, the 79th Army and the 20th Army of the Shina Army, under the heavy blows of our imperial army, have been left behind, and if we try a little harder, we will cross this damned Makufu Mountain, and enter the relatively gentle Changshou and Chiayi areas." ”

Jutaro nodded and said, "I hope so!" ”

But at this moment, a staff officer came to report: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the army of China has been discovered in Jilong Mountain!" ”

"Neni!" Gansu Jutaro was very surprised, "How could it be, the 79th Army and the 20th Army of the Chinese army have long been left behind by us, which Chinese army is this." Scout team, go scouting quickly? ”

The efficiency of the reconnaissance team was quite high, they used the air force, and after a while, a staff officer came to report:

"Report to the commander of the Ganji Shigetaro Division, the troops defending Jilong Mountain do not seem to be the Central Army of the Shina Army, they are wearing gray military uniforms, and they must be local troops. According to the analysis of the reconnaissance report, it seems that it is Han Xing's Southern Expeditionary Army, only this Southern Expeditionary Army is elusive, they have already fought with the 106th Division, the 3rd Division, and the 6th Division in less than 10 days, and just yesterday, they also attacked our rear Taolin Temple and Huangsha Street Station. I don't know why they came here again, it's really unbelievable to us? ”

"Nani?" It was very incomprehensible to Jutaro Kanta. He said to his staff officers: "I heard that Han Xing's army is quite powerful, they not only have an air force, powerful artillery, tank troops, but also new weapons, a kind of thing called missiles. That thing, our relevant departments, has been included in the research plan, and it should be manufactured as soon as possible. ”
