On the same day that Han Yunhua's unit arrived in Pengze County, Li Yunheng, commander of the 16th Army, was punished by military discipline for negligence and ineffective combat, and was escorted to Wuhan with Xue Weiying, commander of the 167th Division, to be punished by military law.

The first brigade is the unit that started from the Botian detachment, and it can be said that the first brigade is the essence of the Botian detachment. And the equipment of the 1st Brigade is also the best among the five brigades to which the Potian detachment belongs, in addition to the heavy machine gun squadron, the 1st Brigade also has a complete mountain artillery squadron, which is not available in the general infantry brigade.

Due to the destruction of the 3rd Brigade, Major General Shigeichi Hauda sent a report to the four surviving infantry brigades of the detachment one by one, ordering these four brigades to strengthen their precautions in case the Shina army counterattacked, especially the 1st Brigade, because the station of the 1st Brigade was too close to the Shina Evil Star, and at the same time, there were many troops belonging to the National Axe of the Shina behind the 1st Brigade, and if one of them did not take precautions, he might suffer a big loss.

The 1st Brigade Captain Nakasa Nakasa is a typical soldier of the Zohon, short stature, big head, strong and powerful, and exuding a bloody smell all over his body. Kuda Mii was born in the mountains of the northeastern region of Yuben, his parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by his brother and sister-in-law, and when he was twelve years old, he was sent to the local school to study, Kuda Mii was also considered to be competitive, and at the age of eighteen he was admitted to the Tokyo Lu Shi (Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy), and then entered the Lu University for further study. He graduated in 1931, and because of his bravery in battle, Kuda Mii was one of the fastest officers in the batch of graduates who graduated that year.

For a long time, Kuda Miyi has been fighting against the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Northeast region, he likes the climate of the Northeast region very much, and he is also very good at fighting in that kind of cold and snowy environment. However, due to the needs of the war, the army began to expand in large quantities, and the basis of the expansion was those old divisions, which were generally drawn from an old division and regiment, and a new second or third class division was built with this wing as the skeleton. At the same time, there is also a method of drawing an absolute main combat brigade from an established division and forming a new brigade with the reserve soldiers of that division. The backbone of the Potian detachment was drawn from the Second Division, but most of the soldiers who formed the Potian detachment were from Taiwan, including some Taiwanese who were of mixed blood or pure Chinese descent, but the officers were all of pure blood.

Major General Shigeichi Hata values Mii Kuda very much, not only because the first brigade led by Mii Kuda Nakasa is the absolute main force of the Harata detachment, but also because Mii Kuda is also an extremely good tactical commander. The reason why the Hatada detachment was able to fight the national political axe in just one month was because of the absolute gap between China and the Chinese and the disparity in strength that was difficult to make up for in a short period of time, and on the other hand, it relied on the excellent command of Major General Hatada Shigeichi. But most people don't know that these outstanding and classic examples are all battle plans jointly formulated by Major General Shigeichi Harata and Kuda Miyi, and among them, Kuda Miyi is the main one.

After receiving a telegram from Major General Shigeichi Hata, Mii Kuda immediately organized troops to strengthen the fortifications, especially to the east. For this reason, Kuda Miyi even transferred all the reserves to the east gate of Pengze County. This is because Kuda Miyi believes that the threat should come from the east rather than the west, first of all, the combat effectiveness of Han Yunhua's division in the west is surprising, which can be seen from the fact that the brigade can completely annihilate the main force of the third brigade and the third fleet, but after all, Han Yunhua's department only won a battle last night, as the saying goes, killing 10,000 enemies and injuring 8,000 yourself, although the combat effectiveness of the third brigade is very disdainful, but after all, it is a unit trained with the empire's sophisticated weapons and equipment and advanced training methods, Far from being comparable to the army formed by the backward and impoverished Chinese political axe, this was evident in previous battles. Moreover, Han Yunhua's department is also dealing with a navy of more than 40 warships at the same time, so even if Han Yunhua's department has not lost its combat effectiveness, it will be greatly damaged, and it should not be that there will be no more big moves in a short period of time. Besides, according to the information sent by Major General Shigeichi Hakata, this Han Yunhua is said to be a brigade, and as we all know, the brigade in the [***] team is only a little more than a wing of the Chinese army, and its combat effectiveness may not be comparable to that of a wing of the Chinese army. Just such a little person, Kuda Miyi really didn't take Han Yunhua too seriously, this is also the arrogance generated by the invincibility of the Hatian detachment along the way, in their cognition, all the [***] teams are miscellaneous troops under the national political axe, empty but extremely stupid.

However, in view of the strength and strangeness that Han Yunhua's subordinates have always shown, Kuda Miyi still put an extra squadron of infantry in Ximen. However, no one thought that the total strength of the 77th Brigade of Han Yunhua's department would reach a terrifying 17,000 people, and in the minds of the military intelligence personnel, it is impossible for the national political axe to let the [***] troops lie about the establishment, and the information about the establishment and firepower allocation of Han Yunhua's department is from within the national political axe, and such information should not go wrong.

However, they forgot that this time Han Yunhua's troops went south to assist the national political axe to defend Wuhan, and the national political axe wished that Han Yunhua would bring more troops. As for the establishment of Han Yunhua's troops and the total number of troops, both sides tacitly chose tacit understanding from the very beginning. Han Yunhua did this to confuse the army, and the national political axe did not want people to know that [***] actually had such a huge military force. Therefore, until now, the establishment of Han Yunhua's department recorded in the archives of the National Political Axe is only an ordinary infantry brigade, and the number of people is only 5,300 people, which is only about 1,000 more than the infantry brigade of the National Political Axe. It's no wonder that the military meeting was deceived, because even the people in the national political axe who don't know the truth think that Han Yunhua's department really only has more than 5,000 people.

During the whole day, Han Yunhua's department hid in the mountains on the outskirts of Pengze, and even the food was eaten cold, and people who entered the mountains or passed by, whether they were farmers or hunters, were all detained by Han Yunhua's department.

At 2 o'clock in the morning on October 14, more than 8,000 people under Han Yunhua's department finally arrived at a small hill three kilometers outside Pengze County. Han Yunhua said to a brigade commander and three regiment commanders below: "It seems that the army has been prepared, but it doesn't matter, the defenders of the army here are only one brigade, and we have more than 8,000 people, so we can completely attack it." However, the cost of a strong attack is too great for us to afford, so we can only outwit it, and if we can only attack by force, then we should not be afraid of sacrifice. If Operation Cheetah fails, then we attack. Wei Peng, it's up to you next? ”

Wei Peng said confidently: "Don't worry, Commander, even if our entire cheetah is left in this small county town, we will definitely complete the task." ”

Han Yunhua said a little angrily: "Fart! Remember that it doesn't matter if the task is not completed, but you have to give me all back, there is a small county town with a big fart, and you Wei Peng will go back to Daqingshan to feed the horses. You are the foundation of my Inner Mongolia Military Region, have you forgotten the spirit of my Inner Mongolia Military Region? ”

"I haven't forgotten, we always keep in mind that people are lost and people are lost, and people are lost and people are lost. We must cherish the life of every soldier, we are not afraid of sacrifice, we are afraid of the worthlessness of sacrifice. Wei Peng said.

"You memorize a fart, this is to be memorized by heart, not by mouth. Yesterday Cheetah killed eleven little leopards in the First World War, and six were missing, and you, the squadron leader, have a lot of responsibility. If you had decisively given up those two torpedo boats yesterday, those special combat personnel would not have died. Hey, it's not your fault, but you have to remember that you don't die easily, your life is not your own, and theirs is not yours. Han Yunhua reprimanded.

Wei Peng knew that the commander was still sad about the number of special combat soldiers who died in battle yesterday, and Han Yunhua, a veteran of more than 600 members of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, knew him, and he could call out the names one by one to understand everyone's background and family situation. Wei Peng still remembers the commander's sad expression when he handed over the list of sacrificed and missing soldiers to the commander, and Wei Peng could see that it was not a fake, but a pain from within.

"Yes, the Japanese are not extinguished, and Wei Peng will not dare to say death." Wei Peng said loudly.

Wei Peng left with thirty-six leopards, and they wanted to open the gate of Pengzexi before Han Yunhua and the others attacked. According to the agreement between Han Yunhua and Wei Peng, after Wei Peng and the others succeeded, they would give a signal to Han Yunhua and the others outside the city at the first time. But Wei Peng and the others had been walking for an hour, and the city was still silent as usual, without the slightest abnormality.

Han Yunhua knew that Wei Peng and the others must be in trouble, otherwise with the combat strength of the Cheetah Special Combat Team, it would not be a matter of being able to solve a small county gate. But after such a long time, the patrols on the city wall are still walking around, and the lights on the city wall are still as bright as ever. Han Yunhua judged that something unusual must have happened in the city, otherwise Wei Peng and the others would not even reply to the signal of success or failure of a mission.

Han Yunhua knew that he couldn't wait any longer, if he waited any longer, it would be dawn, and then the planes of the army would come, and his troops would be in danger. Han Yunhua ordered the soldiers of the First Regiment directly under the Military Region to crawl forward, and slowly approached Pengze County under the cover of simple camouflage uniforms, ready to support Wei Peng and others at any time.
