The 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army was in trouble, and was helpless in the face of the blockage of the Bunker Group of the Northland Volunteers, and the strong attack could only cause greater casualties, and the bombardment had no effect, so it had no choice but to ask for guidance from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

In the direction of the other attack, which was more than ten kilometers west of the position of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade also stopped, because they had come to a dangerous position.

Due to the fact that the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army was constantly blocked by the Beidi Volunteer Army on the halfway road, the journey was slower than that of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, and it only arrived at a position almost parallel to the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade this morning.

At this time, the search team of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade encountered an ambush and was hit by a burst of intense fire from the mountain beam in front, leaving more than a dozen lives and fleeing back.

The routed search team was withdrawn, and the brigade commander, Major General Yoshino, who had received the report, hurried to the front.

It was a valley, less than twenty meters wide and miles long, flanked by high mountain walls, and the terrain was very treacherous.

After observing the valley mouth for a while, and not seeming to feel the danger, the commander of the Yoshino Brigade asked, "Tell me about the situation inside, and where you were blocked." ”

"Hi, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, after the search party entered the valley, everything was calm at first, and nothing else was noticed. However, when we walked out of the three-mile road, there was a turn in the opposite side, and suddenly a dense number of bullets were fired head-on from the hill in front of us, and more than a dozen people were killed and injured in a short time. "The search captain was a little frightened, afraid of being scolded by the brigade commander.

The brigade commander, Major General Yoshino, observed the mountain walls on both sides and found that there could be no ambush on the top of the mountain.

Because the valley is very narrow and the mountain is very high, if you shoot down from the top of the mountain, it is impossible to pose a threat to the valley because of the angle. Besides, it seems unlikely that a large group will climb to the top of the mountain.

The brigade commander, Major General Yoshino, was relieved and said, "Shout, the Northland Volunteers want to stop the advance of the Imperial Army in this position, hum, they can't do it. The combat troops continued to advance, the artillery followed, and the artillery positions were set up to first carry out artillery bombardment on the positions of the Northland Volunteers. ”

"Hi"

The order was issued, and the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army was in a hurry and continued to move forward.

This valley is called a bend by the locals, the road in front is quite straight, there is a bend in the face of three miles away, and the bend is another mile or two to walk forward, before you will get out of this valley, a bend is named after it.

Major General Yoshino, commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, observed as he walked, and felt that the mountain walls on both sides were not much dangerous, and it was impossible to arrange troops to ambush, and it seemed that there was only one blocking position in front.

It is a bit dangerous for Major General Yoshino to think like this, since the Northland Volunteer Army adopts a fortress-like defense, it must choose a steep position in order to block the advance of the Kwantung Army.

This valley is so steep, it would be strange if it was not used by the Northland Volunteers.

However, along the way, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade suffered several ambushes, large and small, which left the impression that the Northland Volunteers were fighting in the Northland Volunteers, and that most of the Northland Volunteers would take this kind of ambush warfare that delayed the Kwantung Army.

Inertial thinking is terrible, and Major General Yoshino will have to pay for it.

The 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army had not gone long in the valley when it had already seen the bend in front of it, where the search party was blocked.

It's a little lower than the valley and it's just a mountain beam.

Moreover, the slope here is not as steep as the valley pass, and even soldiers can climb it.

At this time, it is quiet on the mountain beam, and the vegetation is so lush that there is no ambush on it.

However, the commander of the Yoshino Brigade took a closer look with a telescope, and found that there were indeed troops hidden in the dense vegetation, and I don't know how many guns were aimed at the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade.

Looking at the mountain beam in front of him blocking the pace of progress, Major General Yoshino, the commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, sneered in his heart: "If you want to use this mountain beam to block the imperial army, hum, that's wishful thinking." ”

About 5,000 combat units of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade entered the valley one after another, and for a while, the quiet valley became noisy.

"The artillery is ready, give me thirty minutes of shelling, and completely blow this mountain beam to me." The commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, Major General Yoshino, gave the order very crisply.

The artillery team of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army, which had just entered the valley, immediately fell into a rush.

"The 1st Brigade was ready to attack, and immediately after the shelling, it attacked. The Second Brigade should also be prepared, if the First Brigade returns in vain, the Third Brigade will take over from the Second Brigade and adopt the method of attacking in turns, and today it must break through this resistance position and open up a way for the Imperial Army to advance. ”

"Hi" The captains took the order and began to prepare.

The artillerymen, after a period of scrambling, were already in position and began to calibrate their targets.

The first brigade was assembled and ready to attack.

Unfortunately, that's all there is to it.

Major General Yoshino, commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army, made a fatal mistake by not realizing that he had not found a single resident along the way, and that the area had been cleaned up by the Northland Volunteers.

The position of Rehe is very important to Feng Tian, otherwise it would not have been when the Northland Volunteers had not yet fully gained a foothold, Feng Tian decided to drive away Tang Yulin and use barbaric means to take Rehe.

Rehe is a mountainous area, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Fengtian must ensure that Rehe is impregnable and provide a safe barrier for the north.

As long as the Rehe River is held and not lost, if the Kwantung Army wants to threaten the deep area of the Northland, it will only have to attack from the deserted area of the East Road to threaten the Northland Volunteers.

However, it was not easy to attack the northern land from that no-man's land, and the rest depended on the determination of the Kwantung Army.

Moreover, if the Kwantung Army attacked the Northland from the east, Fengtian would have enough time to deal with it, provided that Rehe was safe and sound, otherwise, the Northland Volunteers in the east would be separated.

For the sake of this hot river, Fengtian invested huge forces, invested tens of thousands of engineering troops, and even hollowed out mountains in some prominent positions to build an impregnable fortress.

Of course, for the sake of secrecy, the people here have already been evacuated in advance.

If the people here are not evacuated, the hidden fortress built will not become a secret, and who knows if there are any hidden spies in the mountains.

It seems that the path chosen by the Kwantung Army is the closest, and it poses the greatest threat to the Northland Volunteers. (To be continued.) )
