"Baga, what's going on outside, where is the gunshot, orderly, what's going on outside..." The squadron leader, who had already slept, jumped out of bed with a vigilant face almost immediately, forgot to put on his clothes, and rushed out of his room. Then, he just pinched the collar of the orderly at the door, and asked anxiously at the orderly outside the door... 0 "Squadron leader, I don't know about the lowly position, the lowly position will go to ask, I must understand the situation in the shortest possible time, and report to you..." However, no sooner had he finished his sentence than the sound of hurried footsteps reached their ears. Immediately afterwards, a little devil communication soldier of the 1st Infantry Squad who was sent to report the news appeared in front of the two of them, and then replied breathlessly to the squadron leader with an anxious face.

"Your Excellency the report, the stronghold has been attacked by a large number of hostile militants, and the opposing side is equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and the fire is very fierce. Under the cover of dense firepower, the enemy is attacking our stronghold, and all the officers and men of the first squad are holding on, asking for reinforcements, asking for reinforcements..."

"Nani, how is it possible, how can there be a large number of militants here, could it be that the Anti-United Nations is back. Impossible, absolutely impossible, now the Anti-Japanese Federation is being besieged in the Mengshan area by a large number of our Kwantung Army troops, and it is absolutely impossible for it to appear here..."The squadron leader widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.

"Hi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, what you said is true, the enemy is indeed armed with a large number of heavy weapons... Your Excellency Squadron Leader, now my first squad is defending its position, and is engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, requesting reinforcements..."The signal soldier said again with an anxious face. At the same time, in order to verify the correct surname of his news, the communications soldier quickly ran to the machine gun firing hole in the turret, pointed to the battlefield not far away, where a dense gunfire was sounding, and said..."Baga, how is it possible, when did our enemy have such powerful firepower. Baga, order the artillery squad to open fire immediately, and be sure to destroy the enemy's heavy firepower....Signal troops, immediately send a telegram to the garrison headquarters in Chaoyang County, our stronghold in Dongdatun Township has been attacked by a large-scale enemy, ask for reinforcements, hurry..."Seeing more than a dozen dense tongues of fire shooting at his stronghold in the dark night, the squadron leader's heart couldn't help but be shocked. Then, facing the guards beside him, he ordered with an anxious face..."Hey, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, I'm going to deliver the order... However, before the guards could finish their words, three loud roars reached their ears, and immediately after, three huge explosions rang out... The entire turret also began to shake continuously with the sound of explosions, and there was a danger of subverting at any time..."Bageya Road, what happened, where did the explosion come from, is there something wrong with our ammunition depot..."Hearing the huge sound of three explosions and feeling the shaking of the turret, the squadron leader asked with a shocked face..."Report captain, the turret has been shelled by the enemy, and the enemy is equipped with three mountain guns and is launching an artillery attack on our central turret. Please ask the squadron leader to retreat immediately, the turret is about to collapse..."As soon as the squadron leader finished speaking, an exclamation immediately reached his ears from downstairs..."How is it possible, how can the enemy be equipped with mountain artillery... Impossible, absolutely impossible ... Boom...," the squadron leader asked rhetorically in disbelief. After all, in the entire defense zone, the only hostile armed forces were the guerrillas led by the Anti-Japanese Union. And these guerrillas, who are not even equipped with the most basic rifles, how can they be equipped with such heavy offensive weapons as mountain artillery. However, he was puzzled in his heart, so he could only wait for him to reach hell and ask King Yama himself. Because at the moment when he finished speaking, another loud roar reached his ears. Immediately afterwards, the floor, which was still bearing its own weight just now, suddenly lost its weight-bearing capacity. The entire artillery tower, together with almost a squad of devil soldiers in the artillery tower, turned into a pile of ruins several meters high..."Good fight, continue to bombard me, and bury all the remaining little devils in their turtle shells..." Seeing the collapse of the central artillery tower of the Yue Army, Liu Xiaogang, who served as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, immediately showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. Then, facing the members of the mountain artillery squad in front of him, he ordered excitedly..."Boom, boom, boom...."Losing the command organ, the remaining more than 100 devil soldiers, under the continuous roll call of the three mountain artillery, all of them were buried in the rubble in less than five minutes. With the last bunker, with the explosion of the cannonballs, it turned into a pile of ruins, and the gunfire on the entire battlefield finally slowly stopped. More than 100 team members, loaded with guns and ammunition, lined up in a neat search formation to enter the stronghold that had become a ruin, and began to search for possible remnants of the enemy... In the end, the whole battle, after a few scattered gunshots, ended smoothly. The squadron leader of the fourth squadron in charge of the attack also came to Liu Xiaogang with a gunpowder face on his face at the first time, and reported loudly: "Report to the deputy captain, the fourth squadron, and the mountain artillery squad have successfully completed the task and completely annihilated all the defending troops in the store." According to statistics, a total of 238 enemies were killed, one of our soldiers was killed and 5 were wounded. In addition, two heavy machine guns, three mortars, a large number of other weapons and ammunition and various logistical materials have been captured, which are being counted ...

"As for the radio, have you found the enemy's radio station?" Regarding the results of the troops, Liu Xiaogang did not pay attention to it. Because, at this moment, the most important thing for him is whether the little devil who has just been completely annihilated by himself has spread the news that his troops have been attacked..."Found it, it was found in the ruins of the enemy's central turret... However, the entire radio station has been smashed by bricks and has become a pile of scrap metal, which cannot be used... However, according to the time between the gunshots and the collapse of the turret, the little devil communication soldiers did not have time to turn on the radio station and then send an announcement..."Seeing Liu Xiaogang with an anxious face, the squadron leader immediately reacted and quickly replied.

"That's good... Order the troops, clean up the battlefield immediately. In addition, we will transfer the strength of a small team and use the materials we have captured to prepare dinner for the main force. Also, immediately report to the commander that our first brigade has successfully completed its mission, successfully occupied Dongdatun Township, and completely annihilated the defenders of the army..." Liu Xiaogang breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, facing the squadron leader in front of him, he ordered with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Gang, the first brigade played well, won the first battle, and played the momentum of our advance detachment, okay... However, against the little devils of a squadron, your first brigade, with the assistance of three artillery guns, actually paid the price of one sacrifice and five wounded, which is something I didn't expect..."Looking at the casualty data in his hand and the results achieved by the troops. While Liu Hua was excited, he asked Liu Xiaogang in front of him, "Report commander, according to my understanding, the casualties of these six people were all caused by the carelessness of the soldiers. Another important reason is that the little devils outside the pass are stronger than the little devils in the pass. Here, almost every little devil can be called a sharpshooter, and their will to fight and their tactical level are not comparable to the little devils in the Guannai..."Liu Xiaogang replied.

"Well, it's easy to know the reasons and gaps. At that time, you have to let the soldiers who participated in the offensive take advantage of the rest time to go to the second and third brigades to explain to you the operational characteristics of this Kwantung Army unit, and at the same time, all the soldiers of the high-level advance detachment, in the future battles, do not have any thoughts of underestimating the enemy, because what we are now facing is the Kwantung Army unit, which is known as the flower of the army..."Liu Hua nodded and ordered affirmatively....

After dinner, the entire advance detachment, organized by the First Brigade, began to hold a summary meeting of today's battle to tell its comrades-in-arms about the combat mode and strong combat effectiveness of the units of the Kwantung Army. As for the commander Liu Hua, Liu Xiaogang, the deputy captain and captain of the first brigade, Wang Ping, the captain of the second brigade, and Li Guotian, the captain of the third brigade, in a simple house, surrounded by a dim horse lantern and a huge military map, began to discuss the specific action plan of the advance detachment for the next step....

"According to the map display, from the Dongdatun Township where we are now to our destination Anshan area, there is still a full 200 kilometers in a straight line, and everyone is talking about which direction we should go from next. Especially Captain Wang and Captain Li, you are both natives of the Northeast, and you must be more familiar with the Northeast than we are..."Looking at the Anshan area on the map and the current Dongdatun Township, Liu Hua said to the squadron leaders in front of him.

"Commander, I think we'd better go straight... You see, from Dongdatun Township to the final Anshan area, if you take a straight line, there are hardly any big county towns and strongholds along the way, except for two rivers that are not too wide. More importantly, according to the battle plan we formulated in advance, a full eight days have passed since we dispatched our troops, and we have no extra time to waste on the march..."Wang Ping, the commander of the Second Brigade, stood up and said.

"Captain Li, you are also a native of our Northeast China, tell me what you think in your heart..."Liu Hua nodded, and turned his gaze to Li Guotian, the captain of the Third Brigade..."Commander, if you want to say that in the entire three northeastern provinces, the mountains are mainly concentrated in the Changbai Mountains and the Greater and Lesser Xing'an Mountains, and this large area where we are located is a vast plain and hills, and there is absolutely no problem in going straight to the Anshan area directly. So, I completely agree with Captain Wang's suggestion, let's go straight straight. Such a marching plan can not only save us time on the road, but also avoid the county towns and strongholds heavily defended by the army......" Li Guotian said..."Xiao Gang, both of them said, it should be your turn next. What do you think? Liu Hua nodded approvingly at the answers of the two, and then said to Liu Xiaogang: "Commander, about the topography of the three northeastern provinces, I can only understand some simple things from the map, and I don't have any comparable surnames with Captain Wang and Captain Li. Therefore, for the marching route of the troops, I think we still have to listen to Captain Wang and Captain Li, after all, the two of them really understand the entire Northeast land. So, I fully support the suggestion of Captain Wang and Captain Lee, let's go straight...."Bruce Lee said without thinking....

"Okay, now that the opinions of the three of them have been unified, I have decided that we will go in a straight line... Come, look at the map... From our current location to the map of Anshan, there will be a total of two railway lines along the way. Judging from the current situation in the Northeast, for the railway, which symbolizes their lifeline, the little devils must have heavy troops stationed to defend it. So, our next target is here, Dumb Mountain. After a short rest here, the troops found an opportunity to cross the railway line... Do you have any questions? After quickly drawing a straight line on the map, Liu Hua commanded with a resolute face to the three captains in front of him..."There is no problem..."Seeing the straight line on the map symbolizing the marching route of the troops, he looked at the first advance target of his advance detachment, Dumb Mountain. The three captains shook their heads at the same time and replied with a look of affirmation.

"Okay, if there is no opinion, let's decide like this, after a few of you go back, we must let the soldiers hurry up and rest, replenish enough dry food, starting tomorrow, we will start to rush again. In addition, for the convenience of the next march of the troops, bring all the little devil military uniforms we captured in this battle, maybe they will be used in the next march..."Liu Hua nodded, and finally ordered, and at the same time, announced the order to dismiss the meeting... The next day, after a night's rest and recuperation, after replenishing enough dry food, all the commanders and fighters of the entire advance detachment once again recovered their high morale, and with Liu Hua's order, more than 4,000 commanders and fighters once again embarked on their own journey and advanced to the next target of the advance detachment, the area around Dumb Mountain....

The journey of more than seventy kilometers took the fighters less than a day. The sky slowly darkened, and when the soldiers became more and more tired after a day's rapid march, the figure of Dumb Mountain appeared in everyone's field of vision. A dumb mountain with an altitude of less than 500 meters and completely shrouded in dense woods appeared in front of everyone.

"Comrades, Dumb Mountain has arrived, let's work harder, tonight, let's go to Dumb Mountain to camp and rest...."Seeing the mountains in front of him, Commander Liu Hua shouted excitedly at the team around him while excited... With a specific goal in mind, seeing the nearby camp, the troops' marching speed immediately increased a lot... In less than half an hour, the marching column of more than 4,000 people all disappeared into the vast plains of the northeast. Facing the dense woods around them, the warriors immediately began to set up temporary camps, preparing for camping and rest at night... As for the commander Liu Hua and the other three captains, although they were equally tired, in the face of increasingly urgent time, they had to insist on climbing this dumb mountain, and began to use the telescope in their hands to observe a coherent Jinzhou traffic railway line less than two kilometers away from the dumb mountain in front of them..."Dudu Dudu...."Just when everyone had just reached the top of the mountain, a dull roar of a train passing through the railway reached everyone's ears. As far as the eye can see, a train dragging more than a dozen wagons, emitting billowing black smoke, is moving quickly on the railway, aiming at Jinzhou City... And just as the train loaded with all kinds of supplies had just passed through the dumb mountain in front of them, and everyone was about to go down the mountain, they went in to observe the defense force of the Japanese army on this communication line, and another roar reached everyone's ears. However, what makes everyone feel strange is that the train in front of them has only one locomotive, and more importantly, at the top of the locomotive, there are several bright searchlights, constantly shaking on both sides of the railway. At the same time, on both sides of the front of the car, which is completely surrounded by iron sheets, there are neatly arranged rows of shooting holes with black holes....

"Ironclad car... It's the ironclad car of the little devil..."Seeing the ironclad car in front of him, which was almost rare on the North China Plain, Wang Ping and Li Guotian, the two captains from the Northeast Army, couldn't help but exclaim. Because, before the Northeast Army withdrew into the Guannei, the Northeast Army had a large number of ironclad vehicles... As for the combat effectiveness of these ironclad vehicles, it can be said that they are like a mobile pillbox and a turret, and they are very powerful, unless they are directly aimed at with large-caliber guns. Otherwise, for such an ironclad vehicle, a unit only equipped with light weapons, there is simply nothing to do except increase casualties ....

At the same time, when he saw the ironclad car, Liu Hua, as the commander, also frowned. Of course, Liu Hua was not worried about the combat effectiveness of the ironclad vehicles, because he believed that with the three mountain guns in his hands and the elite special operations team, these ironclad vehicles with weak armor protection capabilities could be destroyed as many as they came.

As for what Commander Liu Hua is worried about, it is the transportation and rapid mobility of these ironclad vehicles... You must know that if your troops are found by the ironclad car responsible for patrolling in the process of crossing the railway. Then, the army with ironclad cars will definitely be able to transport a large number of troops through the railway and use their ironclad cars to launch an attack on their own troops in the shortest possible time... If this is the case, their own advance detachment will be stuck here by a large number of troops....
