That night, the entire Guangdong theater of operations moved. (/)

First of all, the battalion commander of the city garrison received an order and led his troops from the 40-kilometer garrison to the canyon where He Xiaojun and them were located overnight.

Then, the troops closest to Haishan received orders to develop at the same time, and their destinations were also Haishan, but the places where they assembled were slightly different.

Two mobile units and artillery units, which are 100 miles away from the seamount, also received orders to move and marched to the seamount overnight.

That night, at least seven units and five regiments were involved in the theater of operations, and orders were received one after another to enter Haishan.

Deputy Chief of Staff Cui was left in Haishan by the theater to be responsible for the overall organization of this battle plan. That night, on the eve of the big war, the staff officers worked the most, and Deputy Chief of Staff Cui, who was in charge of overall planning, of course, had no time to rest all night.

Because He Xiaojun is the maker of this plan and the most familiar person in this place, plus he has a strong military foundation, he was regarded as a temporary deputy by Deputy Chief of Staff Cui to assist in the overall work.

Mayor Xie also stayed up all night this night, as the pre-war evacuation was in full swing.

The heads of the villages in Haishan, who had received the notice, came to Chen Village one after another, and after accepting the evacuation task, they rushed back to organize the evacuation without stopping.

Chapter 391 .

For this operation, He Xiaojun went out and no longer kept a low profile, he took the body of Koichi Tanabe, who had died, to the grave of the villagers killed in the Chen Village tragedy, and cut off his head with a knife to mourn his woman and the victims of the tragedy.

All this done by He Xiaojun was filmed by reporters who arrived with Deputy Chief of Staff Cui.

At noon that day, the newsprint had already been ordered to be typeset, and when the reporter's photos were available, they were immediately published.

The front page of the day's newsprint featured two major events.

First, the garrison and self-defense forces of Haishan outwitted the murderer of the local tragedy, a Japanese lieutenant general, and used the murderer's head to mourn the victims.

The first is to publicize the settlement of the seamount, saying that this settlement is a good place to escape the war. The report also inadvertently revealed that the settlement was located near the site of the massacre, and that the garrison and self-defense forces were stationed there.

In the report, both news were highly praised by all sides, and even the Ministry of Defense commented that the local defense of the seamount was done well, and even the high-ranking generals of the Japanese army were able to capture them.

Of course, the newsprint of that day was purposefully delivered to the Japanese army.

This information soon reached the top of the Japanese army. After learning that a high-ranking general had died in a small place with no name, the top brass of the Japanese army was of course furious.

In order to retaliate, to suppress the limelight of this resistance, and even more to eliminate the so-called defense model set up by the Ministry of Defense of China, the Japanese army decided to take crazy retaliatory actions.

Among the people who came to attack the Second Japanese Army this time published in newsprint, there was also an enemy that He Xiaojun did not expect, and this person was Watanabe Jiran, who was captured by him.

It turned out that after reading the newsprint, Watanabe immediately recognized the person in the photo, who was the one who had captured him, and who had killed many Japanese soldiers with copper coins in the provincial capital.

In order to cover up the shame of being caught, Watanabe Jiyun had already blown He Xiaojun to the point where martial arts were extremely harmful when he hurt people in the provincial capital with copper coins, so after hearing that the young man who cut off the head of the lieutenant general was a martial arts master, the army gave an order to the special high school class, that is, to send a master to capture this young man alive to offset the negative impact of Tanabe Koichi being captured and killed.

Since the other party is a master, of course, the special high class has to send a master to complete this task of capturing alive, and it just so happens that Jiro Watanabe, who knows that He Xiaojun's martial arts are inferior to his own and wants to wash away his previous shame, volunteered to take over this task.

From the day of the capture of Koichi Tanabe, the atmosphere in Kaisan fell into extreme tension, and both sides that were preparing to confront each other were hurrying to act.

First of all, all the residents along the way to and from Haishan, including the residents of the county seat, were evacuated urgently. Then, the residents of the settlement began to evacuate.

The day after the newsprint appeared in the settlement, Japanese planes had arrived in the canyon to reconnoitre.

After seeing this, He Xiaojun and the others knew that his first step plan to set the goal had basically succeeded.

The Jiangkou City garrison led by Battalion Commander Cheng rushed to the gorge in the early morning of the day they received the order, and immediately began to repair the fortifications.

Considering that the Japanese army would retaliate frantically this time, and that they might use artillery bombardment and aircraft bombing, the amount of work for this defensive fortification was not small, and Mayor Xie organized 200 self-defense personnel and 300 young laborers, all of whom were put into the project of rushing to repair the fortifications.

On the second day after the capture of Koichi Tanabe, the troops dispatched from the theater drove into Haishan one after another, and a total of about 5,000 troops from five infantry regiments arrived, as well as a mobile unit with more than 10 trucks and an artillery unit with more than 10 guns.

On the third day after the capture of Koichi Tanabe, the Japanese troops stationed in Eguchi City had reached Haishan, and about 700 Japanese troops in this part entered the territory of Haishan along the Xijiang River, and after walking another 20 kilometers, they arrived at Ningcheng, which was already empty.

After reporting that Haishan County had become an empty city, they rested in Ningcheng for one night, and the next morning, this part of the Japanese army drove into Chen Village, which had been vacant, and blocked the only exit from the canyon.

On the night of the third day after the capture of Koichi Tanabe, the troops of the Japanese provincial capital arrived at Kaisan, and they went ashore in the same place as the Japanese troops in the part of Eguchi City, so they took the same route as the Japanese troops in Eguchi, because the Japanese troops in this part of the army rushed overnight, so they were only two hours late in the Japanese army at the mouth of the river, and after the two parts of the Japanese army converged, they immediately encircled the side of the gorge to Chencun and prepared for battle.

The Japanese troops who arrived at Haishan by sea were a day late because the journey was farther than by land.

After the five Japanese warships met up with the warship that was frightened by He Xiaojun and the others and was ordered to stay here, they first fired a cannon at the vicinity in anger, and then the soldiers divided into two routes, all the way up the waterway from Haikou Port by motorboat, and forced Chen Village; All the way from the land route of Haikou Port, to the side of the canyon.

Such a tough battle will of course be fought by professional soldiers. However, considering that this battle was indirectly caused by himself, He Xiaojun, a civilian, volunteered to help his father-in-law, Mayor Xie, take over the burden of Director Hu, who had already died, and command the Self-Defense Forces to take charge of the second line of defense.

Feeling the tense and suffocating atmosphere of the mountain rain before the war, He Xiaojun couldn't help but sigh that the revenge incident he planned single-handedly changed the history of Haishan and allowed the Japanese army to set foot in Haishan a year earlier.

Fortunately, because his side took the initiative and made a lot of preparations, the balance of this battle should be tilted towards his side.

He Xiaojun was just puzzled, could this operation be regarded as changing history by himself? Or did history change because of his crossing?

However, all this is no longer important, what is important is to fight this battle well and minimize the losses suffered by the hometown and the people in the hometown.
