Several puppet Manchurian fleets were heading along the Heilongjiang River valley towards the Shengshan Fortress.

Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwu this time is a broken boat, the fighting crusade force has been blocked in the area of the Woniu River for nearly a week, no matter what method the Kwantung Army uses, the opposite Shina people's armament is like gummy, no matter how it can be broken, during the day to attack the defensive position of the China, and at night it was captured again, the rear supply line was destroyed by the Shina people, and the friendly forces attacking the other two roads were also blocked, for this reason Yamashita Fengwu decided to send a telegram to his brother Yamashita Fengfumi, He was asked to send a fleet along the Heilongjiang River valley to attack from the rear of the Chinese and eliminate the command center and logistics center of the Chinese people.

Before the Japanese fleet set sail, Yamashita Fumi, commander of the 4th Division of the Japanese garrison in Jiamusi, received an oath written by Umezu Mijiro of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which read: "Proud sons of the Emperor: You will carry out a glorious and arduous mission, that is, to destroy the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, which has caused serious losses to the Empire for many years, and to destroy the logistics and supply center of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army. As the Earl of the Imperial Japan and the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, I implore you to note that it was this inconspicuous branch of the Chinese who repeatedly caused the warriors of our Imperial Army to sink into the sand, and once caused Major General Sasaki to commit suicide by disembowelment (in order to maintain the dignity of the empire by the Japanese army), so that all the imperial soldiers of the 44th Wing were collectively shattered, and a wet diaper of humiliation that could not be removed from the faces of the entire Kwantung Army. This is a group of despicable and hooligan-like troops, led by their sinful leader, Meng Qingshan, who are accustomed to disguising the imperial army to carry out sneak attacks, and even their military uniforms are stealing the military uniforms of the imperial army. The arsenal of the Chinese people is the root of all evil, and it is the base for the production and supply of arms for the Chinese people. Now our chance for revenge has come, and their main forces have been held back by the Empire. The rear is extremely empty, and I command you to pounce on them, find them, tear them apart, and cooperate with the troops in front to destroy this group of stubborn enemies. Avenge the soldiers of our imperial army! I await news of your victory in Xinjing. Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the heroic Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire! ”

"Long live, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Kwantung Army."

Umezu Mijiro's oath to go to the army can be regarded as a shot in the arm for those Japanese troops who were originally a little decadent, and the Fourth Division has always been the most famous division in the Japanese Empire, he is not famous for his bravery, nor for his bloodthirstiness, but for the most troops. The cannon fodder division, which suffered the most casualties and is famous, now has a new title, the Hell Division, not that the troops are as fierce as the demons in hell, but that when they get there, they go to hell, the reason is that in less than a year, the Fourth Division has replenished several times with fresh blood, and the entire Fourth Division has not been replaced, except for Dazuo and above, the remaining officers, including soldiers, have all taken on a new look. The veterans were almost either killed or retired, and the Fourth Division was also at the bottom of all the divisions of the Japanese army. Anyone who is assigned here means that you are either crippled or offended, this group of Japanese recruits who have just been assigned to the army, after learning that they want to commit suicide when they arrive in the fourth division, now I hear General Umezu Mijiro actually say this, which stimulates this group of brainwashed soldiers to scream. Majestic and high-spirited, puffed up his chest and boarded the ship.

"Gentlemen, this battle is also a battle in which our Fourth Division is reborn, whether we can throw away the shameful title of the cannon fodder division that we have been carrying all along, it all depends on this operation, everything please." Yamashita said to the surrounding commanders who were preparing to attack Katsuyama Fortress.

"Hey! Your Excellency the General is assured. We will definitely be able to capture the fortress of Shengshan, and we will be ashamed. ”

This time such a big battle did not allow the nearest Fourth Division to participate, but mobilized troops from other places to participate in the crusade, which made Yamashita Fengfu very unhappy, is this because the Fourth Division has been losing troops and generals, so that General Umezu Mijiro felt that the Fourth Division was not suitable for the attack force at all, but belonged to the garrison force, the more Yamashita Fengfu thought about it, the more worried about the Fourth Division would one day really become what he imagined, if it was really like that, then he would die.

What unit of the Japanese army is the 4th Division? It was the first batch of divisions formed after the Meiji Restoration and the creation of a new army in imitation of Europe and the United States. Its staffing, weapons and equipment are definitely elite. He couldn't let others see his jokes, and he always had a conviction in his heart that he wanted to justify himself and the 4th Division, and for that he needed a battle, a refreshing victory.

When he received the order from the commander-in-chief Umezu Mijiro, he couldn't believe his eyes, so he looked at it seriously several times, his hands trembled excitedly, the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came, he would immediately let those who laughed at him know that the fourth division was not a cannon fodder division, let alone a garrison, but an elite army of the empire, this time His Excellency the commander asked him to send a force to land in Sun Wu as a puppet Manchurian fleet, capture the Katsuyama Fortress (Khormozhin Fortress) and cooperate with the main force of the front line, For this reason, Yamashita Fengfumi drew a most well-trained unit from the Fourth Division, the Osaka Wing, this wing is not the strongest of the Fourth Division, 90 percent of the soldiers in this unit are recruited from Taiwan, this group of soldiers is more than a head taller than the average soldier on the island, and they are also hard-working, training hard, Yamashita Fengfu is very optimistic about this army, but still does not look down on them, because although they are Japanese, they are still Chinese in their bones, For this reason he decided to send this unit, and he would not be heartbroken even if this wing never returned.

This time, Yamashita Fengwen considered it very comprehensively and made a very careful deployment. He knew that the entire line of Shengshan, the coastline was long and gentle, and the landing sites that could be selected were quite rare, and the only suitable places for landing were Weijiang Village and Hadayan Village, so he believed that the people of China would definitely prevent the Imperial Navy from landing from their rear, and they would definitely send troops to defend, even if the main force was all sent to the front line, Yamashita knew that as long as the head of the leader of the people was not stupid, he would not be able to move this force, and he knew what kind of resistance he would encounter. For this reason, if you want to land safely, you must resist the counterattack of the Shina people, establish a unified and consolidated landing field, and establish a good foundation for the rear landing force.
