On October 25th, it was another good day, the weather was sunny and cloudless.

The four columns of the 36th Group Army, namely the 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Columns, had already completed their pre-war assembly in Qinhuangdao.

The four major columns and various infantry regiments have basically achieved motorization, and if everything goes well, the vanguard will reach Huludao at noon today.

The defending enemy in Huludao has already been clearly reconnoitred, and there is a brigade of little devils in Huludao, which is independently mixed into the 130th Brigade, and the 130th Brigade has five field infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, without a wing, and the whole brigade has about 6,000 people.

In Jinzhou, the little devils are stationed with heavy troops, a full three divisions, but these three divisions are not first-class divisions, these three divisions are the 122nd Division, the 134th Division, the 139th Division, and all second-class divisions.

With the outbreak of the Southeast Asian War, especially with the outbreak of the Pacific War, a large number of elite divisions of the Little Devil Kwantung Army were drawn to the Southeast Asian battlefield or the Pacific Theater.

The Kwantung Army originated in the early 20th century, and in 1904, Japan invaded northeastern China and provoked the Russo-Japanese War. After more than a year of fighting, Japan won. Under the pretext of protecting the rights and interests of the South Manchurian Railway, the Japanese invaders, who had long coveted the land of northeastern China, set up a so-called "Manchurian Railway" garrison, and also retained a division in South Manchuria.

The two divisions had a strength of about 20,000 men and were under the command of the governor of Kwantung. At that time, Japan set up the "Kanto Prefecture" in the northeastern region under its control. So this unit is also called the "Kwantung Army". As a result, the Kwantung Army began its criminal act of entrenching itself in the northeast for 40 years.

In 1919, in order to enhance the status of the Kwantung Army, Japan abolished the Kwantung Governorate, established the Kwantung Agency with less authority, and established the Kwantung Army Command on the basis of the War Department of the Kwantung Governor's Office, commanding the Japanese military units stationed in Northeast China. From then on, the Kwantung Army was directly under the command of the Emperor of Japan. Independence is greatly enhanced.

On September 18, 1931, Japan brazenly launched the "918" incident. The Kwantung Army, which was sharpening its knives, took the opportunity to rush out of the territory of the South Manchurian Railway and occupied Shenyang, Changchun, Liaoyang and other cities in one day.

Meanwhile. The Kwantung Army began to rapidly increase its strength: in 1931 the Kwantung Army had only three divisions, in 1932 it reached six, and in 1933-1936 it maintained five divisions. In 1937 it reached 7, in 1938 it was 9, and in 1939 it was 15.

In the second half of 1939, in order to cooperate with Nazi Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, the Kwantung Army successively organized special large-scale exercises aimed at the Soviet Union, and once again mobilized a large number of troops to hoard the northeast. By the time Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the total strength of the Kwantung Army had reached 31 divisions and regiments, and the number had risen to 850,000, which was claimed to be one million.

Now, although a large number of divisions and regiments are drawn to the Pacific theater. However, many second- and third-class divisions have also been supplemented, and the total number of divisions and regiments is nearly 30, with more than 700,000 people.

Near noon, the vanguard of the 6th Column. The first mechanized infantry regiment and the cavalry regiment, the strength of the two regiments, are less than twenty kilometers away from Huludao, and in front, a little devil's outlying stronghold.

"Captain, look! There is a stronghold of little devils in front. ”

Hear the words. The commander of the first mechanized infantry regiment took a telescope to observe the stronghold of the little devils, the stronghold is not large, it is estimated that there is only one small devil infantry squad and dozens of little devils.

There is no problem at all in eliminating these little devils, the problem is that as long as everyone starts to attack, the little devils will definitely report the situation to the defenders in Huludao City, and everyone's whereabouts, the little devils will know completely.

Thinking of this, the commander of the first mechanized infantry regiment hesitated a little.

After thinking about it for a while, the head of the regiment still decided to destroy this little devil's stronghold, and the little devil knew his whereabouts and knew that this time so many troops went north, the little devil would know sooner or later.

Thinking of this, the commander of the first regiment picked up the microphone of his armored command vehicle and ordered loudly: "Commander of the first battalion, you send a company to bring me the stronghold of the little devils, and annihilate these little devils." ”

"Commander, don't worry, we will go and wipe out these little devils immediately."

Inside the headset, the voice of a battalion commander was immediately heard, and not long after, a company of soldiers, several armored personnel carriers, and more than a dozen off-road vehicles immediately sped up and rushed to the little devil's stronghold.

The little devil in the stronghold also found the huge convoy of the mechanized infantry regiment in the distance, and the captain of the little devil's squad was shocked when he saw so many combat vehicles.

"Yaga! Not good! It was the tank of the 36th Army. ”

The captain of the little devil squad, while ordering the little devils in the stronghold to resist, hurriedly picked up the phone in the stronghold, and quickly reported the situation to the brigade headquarters of Feihuludao.

The dozens of little devils in the stronghold were also startled when they saw a large number of armored personnel carriers and a large number of off-road vehicles appearing in front of them, and hurriedly prepared and prepared to resist stubbornly.

Several machine guns of the little devils have been set up, and many of them, with their guns, are either hiding next to the firing port or behind the fortifications, ready to shoot.

However, the little devil obviously didn't expect that before he could shoot, he was hit fatally.

Each column of the 36th Army was equipped with a large number of rocket launchers, 40 mm bazookas, which were equipped with almost every infantry squad, and 120 mm heavy bazookas, which were equipped with all infantry platoons.

As for mechanized infantry regiments and tank regiments, the number of rocket launchers equipped is even greater, and each mechanized infantry platoon is equipped with two or three heavy rocket launchers, and even more light rocket launchers of 40 mm.

To deal with the stronghold of the little devils, the fighters, of course, used heavy bazookas.

The mechanized infantry company, which had been ordered to destroy the imp's stronghold, approached the imp's stronghold while preparing to launch rockets.

On several off-road vehicles, the fighters are carrying 120-mm heavy rocket launchers and are aiming at the strongholds of the little devils in the distance, and the effective range of the 120-mm heavy rocket launchers reaches several hundred meters, and the strongholds of the little devils can be destroyed from a long distance.

There were still at least three or four hundred meters from the little devil's stronghold, and the fighters began to move.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

Several distinctive sounds were heard, and at least five or six heavy rocket launchers began to fire rockets, which, dragging their long tails, went straight to the little devil's stronghold.

Inside the base.

The little devils saw that the soldiers' vehicles were getting closer and closer, and the little devils were about to shoot, when suddenly, many little devils saw a lot of rockets, flying straight over.

What kind of weapon is this?

Many little devils were full of doubts in their hearts, and they couldn't figure out what these flying rockets were, but they couldn't allow the little devils to think about it, and these rockets hit the little devils' stronghold.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Several violent explosions sounded in a row, and the little devil's stronghold was hit by at least several heavy rockets, and suddenly, the little devil's stronghold collapsed.

Most of the little devils in the stronghold were killed, and the rest of the little devils were not killed, but were also crushed to death by the collapsed stronghold, crushed to death.

"Good! Well done! ”

The captain company commander who was ordered to destroy the little devil's stronghold, saw that the fighters were at a good level, and all the rockets hit the target, and the little devil's stronghold had been blown up and turned into a ruin.

The captain, the company commander, immediately applauded.

And the soldiers of this mechanical infantry company, after destroying the stronghold of the little devil, accelerated and approached the stronghold of the little devil that had become a ruin, and many soldiers got out of the car, carefully inspected, and killed the little devils who were not dead one after another.

The destruction of this little devil's stronghold was just a small episode, and on the way everyone was marching, many of the strongholds built by the little devils were destroyed by the soldiers.

At noon, the vanguard of the 6th column had approached the periphery of Huludao, and the rest of the columns were not far from Huludao.

Several large columns of the 36th Group Army destroyed many strongholds of the little devils, but everyone's whereabouts were gradually known by the little devils.

However, the commanders of the columns don't care about this, the little devil knows it, anyway, with so many troops going north, the little devil will know sooner or later.

********

Shenyang, headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

Finally, the little devils still knew that the 36th Group Army had moved north, and the target was Jinzhou.

The little devil Umezu Mijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, walked around the command hall uneasily, thinking about countermeasures, and now, Umezu Mijiro knew that his Kwantung Army might have become the target of the 36th Army.

"Your Excellency, Commander! This time, the 36th Group Army is menacing, and with so many troops dispatched, we need to immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and at the same time, immediately report the situation to the base camp. ”

The chief of staff of the little devil saw Umezu Mijiro walking around uneasily, and immediately began to "give advice" and gave Umezu Mijiro some advice.

Hearing this, Umezu Mijiro nodded, and then said, "Report the situation to the base camp immediately, and at the same time order all our troops to be in combat readiness." ”

After thinking for a while, Umezu Mijiro said again: "Give an order to Jinzhou Airport and immediately send planes to bomb the troops of the 36th Group Army." ”

Now that the weather is fine, Umezu Yoshijiro believes that it is just right for the troops of the 36th Group Army to be dispatched to bomb the troops of the 36th Group Army, which is moving closer to Huludao, and is particularly suitable for sending planes to attack by surprise.
