As for the little devil's pioneering group, in Zhang Yunfei's eyes, it is a large number of free labor, after the recovery of the Northeast, it will immediately enter the stage of large-scale construction and rapid development, and the Northeast has a strong industrial foundation, and the development is very fast, which requires a lot of labor.

The pioneer group of the little devils in the Northeast has nearly one million people, and it is estimated that more than half of them are strong laborers, at least 500,000 people, and so much free labor is also what Zhang Yunfei hopes to get.

After the "918" incident, with the complete fall of Northeast China, the Japanese Kwantung Army formulated the so-called "Manchurian Agricultural Migration Plan for One Million Households".

A large number of Japanese agricultural poor people poured into Northeast China and became the "Japanese Pioneer Group". Up to now, Japan has organized a total of 20 to 30 batches of more than 300,000 households and 1 million people to invade Northeast China.

After the "September 18 Incident", the "Japanese Pioneer Regiment" was an organization sent by Japan to China in order to truly occupy China, not only with troops, but also with a large number of immigrants.

The Japanese government has formulated a plan for one million agricultural emigration to Manchuria, which aims to emigrate 1 million households and 5 million people within 20 years. From 1932 onwards, the number of emigration households increased every four years, from 100,000 in the first phase to 200,000 in the second phase, and now the second phase has been completed.

The "pioneer groups" forcibly seized or forcibly bought Chinese land at extremely low prices, and then leased it to Chinese peasants for cultivation, resulting in 5 million Chinese peasants losing their land and living in exile or in the more than 12,000 "group tribes" formed by the Japanese. In the meantime, countless people died of cold and starvation.

The "pioneer group" of the little devils is also full of crimes, and Zhang Yunfei just plans to arrest him for forced labor, which is already a very light punishment.

Of course, Zhang Yunfei also thinks that if all of them are shot, so many small Japan, so many laborers. It's a pity to kill them all, it's better to carry out forced labor and squeeze every bit of value out of them.

I think of the vast Tohoku. Not only are there abundant minerals and resources, but also a strong industrial base, as well as a huge free labor force. Zhang Yunfei is even more determined that he must recover the entire territory of Northeast China.

********

In the vast northeast plain, as far as the eye can see, Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the independent division, sat in his armored command car, looking full of ambition.

Yesterday at noon, the troops had already passed through Tongliao and were now heading in the direction of Siping.

"Where are we?"

Liao Yaoxiang squinted in the command car for a while just now, and soon after waking up, looking at the vast Northeast Plain around him, Liao Yaoxiang asked the guards around him.

"Divisional commander! In front is Wangjia Town. It is less than 50 kilometers away from Siping. ”

Liao Yaoxiang opened the map, found the location of Wangjia Town, and looked at it, his location should be directly west of Siping, about 50 kilometers to the east. It is the destination - Siping.

After looking at the map for a while, Liao Yaoxiang asked again, is there any news from our vanguard troops? ”

The guard next to him immediately said, "Not yet!" However, half an hour earlier, the commander-in-chief had sent a telegram reminding us of the Independence Division. Watch out for sneak attacks from the Imp Chariot Brigade. ”

Hearing this, Liao Yaoxiang nodded, the Kwantung Army is known as a 700,000-strong army, with a total of more than 20 divisions, three chariot brigades, and more than a dozen independent mixed brigades and several cavalry brigades.

His own independent division has more than 20,000 people, and the marching team stretches for more than ten kilometers.

The terrain here is flat and vast, if the little devil sends a large number of chariots to fight his own infantry, and runs away after the fight, then he really has to beware of this, as a high-achieving student of Huangpu, Liao Yaoxiang quickly thought that he must guard against the sneak attack of the little devil.

"Pass my order, order the vanguard mechanized infantry regiment, send a battalion to act as a forward scout force, take the platoon as a unit, open the distance, search and advance in the front, and report as soon as there is a situation."

Liao Yaoxiang immediately conveyed the order.

The mechanized infantry regiment of the independent division, with its excellent mobility, has always acted as the vanguard, and behind the mechanized infantry regiment is the tank regiment.

The tank regiment of the independent division is a full-fledged tank regiment, which is one of the few full-fledged tank regiments among all the tank regiments of the 36th Group Army.

The tank regiment of the independent division has three battalions, two tank battalions, and one mixed battalion.

The tank battalion had 11 tanks per company, 46 tanks per battalion (two at the battalion headquarters), and a total of 92 Type 39 tanks in the two tank battalions.

The mixed battalion has two tank companies with a total of 22 Type 39 main battle tanks, two infantry companies with a total of 22 Type 39 armored personnel carriers, and three Type 39 armored personnel carriers at the battalion headquarters.

The tank regiment also has a regimental headquarters, which has 3 Type 39 tanks, 3 armored command vehicles, and 3 Type 39 armored personnel carriers.

The regiment has a total of 117 main battle tanks, 53 armored personnel carriers and combat vehicles, and 3 armored command vehicles.

*************

More than ten kilometers east of Wangjia Town, a mechanized infantry platoon, a Type 39 armored personnel carrier, and several off-road vehicles are advancing, and on each off-road vehicle, there is a soldier acting as an observer.

These fighters, standing on the carriage of the off-road vehicle, holding binoculars, kept looking into the distance.

On an off-road vehicle, several fighters were talking and laughing there.

"Squad leader! Are we the first team! ”

The squad leader looked around, nodded and said, "Our platoon should be the first team marching at the front, you see, there are no other fighters around us, in front of us." ”

The off-road vehicle has good performance, it is very suitable for driving here, even if there is no road, it can be driven normally in this field, and those tracked armored personnel carriers, which have stronger cross-country ability, are even more effortless to drive.

"Squad leader! You said when we will meet the little devils, yesterday in Tongliao, there were a lot of little devils, but it is a pity that the superiors did not give the order to attack. ”

"Yes! It's so strange that the little devil actually took the initiative to let us pass through Tongliao, and when he saw us, the little devil ran away from afar, which is really strange. ”

Many soldiers are a little puzzled by the little devil taking the initiative to get out of the way and let themselves pass through Tongliao unimpeded.

The squad leader, who couldn't figure it out, didn't answer the words of several fighters around him, but took the binoculars and looked into the distance again.

As a forward reconnaissance unit, it is my main duty to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and report it in a timely manner.

On the vast plains, a number of small units of this important force, separated by several kilometers and stretched into an area of more than ten kilometers, were advancing and reconnoitring the enemy's situation.

"Squad leader! Look ahead! ”

The soldier, who had been holding a telescope and carefully observing the enemy situation in front of him, pointed straight ahead and immediately shouted.

Hearing this, the squad leader immediately looked in the direction he pointed, although the distance was very far, far away from the horizon, but with the help of the telescope, he could still see that on the horizon in front of him, a large number of tanks appeared, although the vision was relatively blurry, and he could not see the tank model clearly, but it was certain that it was a large number of tanks.

Seeing this, it is certain that it is a tank group of little devils.

"Comrades, find the tank group of the little devils!"

Many soldiers who heard the shouts of their squad leaders stretched their necks and looked ahead, but there were no binoculars, and they could only vaguely see that some small black dots were moving, which might be the tank group that their squad leader said.

The little devil actually dispatched a tank group, and many fighters were slightly moved.

When he discovered the enemy's situation, the squad leader did not hesitate at all, and immediately picked up the microphone in his car and reported to his platoon commander.

After receiving the report, the platoon commander did not dare to slack off, immediately reported the situation, and then ordered his mechanical infantry platoon to retreat.

Just kidding, there are at least hundreds of chariots in front of the little devils, and they are only a platoon, and retreating is a very wise decision.

Soon, the mechanized infantry platoon retreated and immediately disappeared.

*******

The 2nd Brigade of the Little Devil Tank, one of the three Great Tank Brigades of the Little Devil Kwantung Army, and the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil's Tank, was completely annihilated by the 36th Group Army when the Little Devil went south to reinforce the North China Front Army a few months ago.

The 1st Tank Brigade of the little devil is still being rebuilt, so the "heavy task" of attacking the independent division falls on the 2nd Tank Brigade.

The 2nd Brigade of the Little Devil Combat Vehicle, all of which are new tanks, are all the No. 3 tanks newly produced and developed by the Little Devils.

This kind of tank is improved and developed on the basis of the Type 98 tank, and the tanks of the Little Devil mainly include the Type 92 tank, that is, the Douding tank, which is slightly more advanced than the Type 92 Type 97 tank.

In addition, there are a small number of Type 98 tanks, before the appearance of the No. 3 tank, the most advanced Type 98 tank was the Type 98 tank, but the Type 98 tank of the Little Devil did not produce much, and the main tanks equipped by the Little Devil were still Type 92 and Type 97.

With the emergence of a large number of advanced tanks of the 36th Group, in order to counter the tanks of the 36th Group Army, the little devils hurriedly developed and produced this No. 3 tank on the basis of the Type 98 tank.

The No. 3 tank is the most advanced tank in the eyes of many little devils, and the brigade commander of the second brigade of the little devil tank is not one of them, and the Type 92 tanks and Type 97 tanks previously equipped by his own tank brigade have all been replaced by this newly developed No. 3 tank, and Kazuo Matsumoto is also ambitious, wanting to be ashamed in front of the 36th Group Army and save the face of the Kwantung Army.
