It was late December 1931, and there were only a few days left before New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar. For people in this era, especially in the three northeastern provinces where the news was relatively closed at that time, they may not know what New Year's Day is? But they knew that the little devil was going crazy!

In less than three months since the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army has occupied most of the three northeastern provinces. Due to the non-resistance order of Major Marshal Zhang Xueliang and the non-resistance phalanx of the Nanjing government, a large area of land was directly handed over by the Northeast Army. Only a small number of areas had the resistance of some insurrectionary forces, as well as some militia guerrillas, and the overall battle situation in the three northeastern provinces, except for the Ma Zhanshan and Su Bingwen departments in Heilongjiang Province, Ding Chao, Li Dubu and Feng Zhanhai in Jilin Province, the Tang Ju five departments in Liaoning, and the Shenyang, Jinzhou, and Fuxin areas defended by the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment, the rest of the troops all fell under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders!

For the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment, which has repeatedly caused great damage to the Japanese army, the Japanese army hates it to the core! Helplessly, they had limited troops before and could not concentrate their forces to launch a large-scale attack on the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment, so they kept dragging it out, which allowed the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment to succeed repeatedly, making the Japanese Kwantung Army very passive and angry!

This time, the three northeastern provinces, for the Japanese army, the overall situation has been decided, and they can already free up their hands to concentrate their forces to deal with the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment! Not only because the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment has repeatedly defeated them and lost face, but also because the position of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment just blocked the route to the three northeastern provinces! Thus limiting the continued expansion of the Kwantung Army! If the Japanese Kwantung Army wants to enter the customs and further occupy the boundary of Beiping and Tianjin, it must pass through the territory of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment! The Wild Wolf Independent Regiment is like a hand. Tightly choked the throat of the Japanese Kwantung Army!

The Kwantung Army fought many times with the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment. Naturally, the Dao Wild Wolf Independent Regiment is not comparable to ordinary Chinese troops! So they can almost say that they are pouring out of the nest this time! The entire Kwantung Army has brought in all the remaining usable troops, except for the necessary defensive troops! A full one and a half divisions! Close to 20,000 people! Among them, there are various armored units, and heavy firepower weapons have been strengthened and equipped by the Japanese army to ordinary combat squad platoons!

Morning.

At three o'clock, the vanguard of the Japanese army had already entered the reconnaissance range of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment! The members of the reconnaissance battalion in charge of reconnaissance at the front sent information! All fronts of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment immediately entered a state of intense preparation!

Half past three in the morning! A large number of Japanese troops have arrived! The number of nearly 20,000 people, plus all kinds of equipment and vehicles, is enough to fill an area of several miles! They were just as Tian Zheng expected. All the troops were deployed on a hilly area on the north side of Shenyang City. The hilly terrain is relatively gentle, but it has a certain role of natural fortifications! This is also the best place for the Japanese army! Because if you build fortifications in an open area, you will be attacked by Tian Zheng's troops with long-range fire such as artillery!

The Japanese troops should have been relatively tired. When they arrived, all the troops were resting, except for the engineer brigade, which was building combat fortifications! I didn't even have time to arrange the combat formation!

"Commander, the little devil is too lazy, right? Or are they being too careless about us? Dare to rest in place without even deploying a battle formation? Yan Shisan looked at what he had observed in the telescope. Said.

Tian Zheng chuckled.

"Little devil, that's not lazy, it's not careless! It's not once or twice that they've fought us! I'm sure the little devil must have been very cautious with us this time! Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent a division and a half to deal with us! Now the number of our two regiments is close to 10,000, plus the 5,000 people brought by Tianxing from Liaocheng, there is not necessarily a shortage of troops. However, the combat quality of the Second Infantry Regiment is a little far from the weapons and equipment of the entire independent regiment and the little devils! ”

"Regiment commander, should we let the brothers of the reconnaissance battalion give the little devil a moment first? The little devil has traveled a long way, and now is the best time for us to fight tired! Yan Thirteen suggested.

Tian Zheng waved his hand. "Nope! Now the little devil must be tight on the outside and loose on the inside! They must have at least one unit dedicated to defense! If we attack rashly. It is estimated that the reconnaissance battalion may have to confess to it! Now the best thing for us is to let the reconnaissance battalion continue to lurk and reconnoitre! If you can put some important institutions of the little devils, such as ammunition depots, command posts, and artillery positions. If you find important target points such as fuel depots, we can provide long-range coordinates for our artillery, which will play a greater role! And the risk will be less! ”

"But it would be a great pity if we allowed such an opportunity to let the enemy rest!" Yan Shisan was still a little unwilling and excited.

"Isn't it just a tired tactic?" Tian Zheng said with a smile, "How can a little tired soldier's plan be used to put the brothers of the reconnaissance battalion in danger?" Fetch me a 70mm mountain gun! Then a platoon was transferred from the 2nd Company of the Regiment Guards. We'll be able to keep the little devils from sleeping! ”

Yan Shisan looked at Tian Zheng suspiciously, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Tian Zheng only said that he would see it. Yan Shisan hurriedly found someone to arrange it. Ten minutes later, an elite platoon of forty men from the Second Guards Company was brought in, along with an empty troop truck and another troop truck carrying a 70-mm mountain gun, which contained fifty shells.

"Let the regiment of machine guns in charge of defense in our Shenyang send an experienced veteran gunner over! No, he's going to send his whole class! Tian Zheng gave orders to himself as if he was doing a dumb riddle.

Soon the machine-gun battalion sent soldiers from an artillery squad to arrive. The squad leader's name is Jia Ming. At the same time, he is also the best gunner in the cannon battalion!

"Report to the Captain! Jia Ming, the squad leader of the first company, platoon, and squad leader of the first infantry regiment machine gun battalion, reports to you! Please instruct! Jia Ming was not tall, but his skin was dark and thick, especially his arms, which were almost as thick as his calves. It must have been trained by long-term operation of this mechanical artillery!

"Good! Not bad! Tian Zheng returned the salute with a smile.

"Now I'm going to give you a mission! Do you see the makeshift camp for the little devils a kilometer and a half away? They came from Changchun for a long time, they were very tired, and now they are repairing! Wait until you're trimmed up before attacking us in the best possible state! So, as adversaries, can we give them peace of mind to trim? Tian Zheng asked.

"Can't!" The soldiers of the first platoon of the guard company and the first squad of the machine gun battalion all shouted loudly!

"Good! That's what I want from you! Tian Zheng nodded with satisfaction at first, "The little devil is now loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so it's not good for us to directly send troops to harass us!" That's not responsible for the lives of the brothers! That's why I thought of having you harass them with artillery! Do you see the map? I've marked the area where the little devils are stationed in red pencil! The blue pencil on the map is your activity area! I demand! You're going to shoot a different place! Every shell must land precisely in the area where the imps are! Never deviate beyond this area! And you can't fire near our positions! The distance from our position must be at least three hundred meters! Do you understand? Tian Zheng suddenly shouted.

"Got it! Mission completion guaranteed! The soldiers replied aloud.

"Good! Get started now! ”

This team of improvised soldiers are all elite troops, and their movements are very crisp! There is no mud and water in the slightest! Fifteen minutes later, when the first cannon sounded, followed by a burst of fire in the area where the Japanese troops were stationed opposite, Tian Zheng smiled with satisfaction. Yan Shisan shouted happily, "Leader, you really have you!" Now the little devil can't rest! (To be continued......)
