Bayantala Town, this is a very small town on the Horqin grassland, it is better to say that it is a town, it is better to say that it is a small village, there are only more than 40 herdsmen and a few shops opened by the Han people in the whole town, it has always been a relatively isolated place on the Horqin grassland, and few outsiders come here.

October 6 was an unforgettable day for the herders of Bayantara, a day they saw something they had never seen in their lifetime.

Early in the morning, the old herdsman Batel handed over his dependent grandson, Husler, to the care of the old king's shopkeeper next door, while he himself stepped on his horse and went out to drive the sheep to his own meadow to graze. However, a sudden rumbling sound in the distance startled the horse under his crotch, and if it weren't for the fact that old Bartel had ridden a horse all his life and had good riding skills, he might have been thrown off his horse.

Having managed to control the restless horses and sheep, old Bartel looked at him and was stunned by the sight that came into his eyes, only to see a sudden rush of monsters from the hillside in the distance, rushing towards the town at great speed.

Old Bart was stunned, looking at the monsters all over the mountains, and Old Bartel, who claimed to be Baturu on the grassland, was at a loss, he didn't know where these monsters came from and where they were going, and he also didn't know if these monsters would harm the herdsmen in the town.

Thinking that he was already over seventy years old, which was already considered a high life on the grassland, there should be nothing to be afraid of at such an old age, old Bart straightened his clothes and urged the horse to run towards this group of monsters, he wanted to see what these things were.

In the armored command vehicle, Li Daniu, commander of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, and Bao Xinghua, commander of the 1st Armored Division, were closing their eyes to recuperate. The long march of a day and a night had exhausted all the officers and men, and everyone was hurrying to rest before they reached the battlefield.

"Report to the master, there is a situation!" Captain Li Gang, who was in charge of communications, suddenly reported loudly.

"Be fucking quiet, scare Lao Tzu!" Li Daniu opened his eyes and said.

"Okay old cow, you kid can be nonsense, you haven't fallen asleep at all, yelling fart!" Bao Xinghua scolded with a smile.

"Xiao Li, you said yours. What's wrong? Bao Xinghua turned his head again and said.

"Master's seat. News came from the forward convoy that they had been stopped by an old herdsman! Li Gang reported.

"An old herdsman?" Li Daniu and Bao Xinghua both frowned and asked.

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Han of the forward convoy said that an old herdsman stood alone in the middle of the road and stopped our army!" Li Gang said.

"What the fuck. One of our mechanized infantry divisions and an armored division were single-handedly stopped by an old herdsman. What is this Nima? Li Daniu said loudly.

"Big bull. You kid can't help but talk nonsense, the old herdsman must have something to do when he stopped us, and dealing with the herdsman is not dealing with the devil. One shot down! ”

"So what are we going to do? Waiting? ”

"Don't wait, the forward team is not far from us, let's go over and have a look!"

"Okay, let's go and have a look!"

When Bao Xinghua and others arrived at the scene, they saw Lieutenant Colonel Wang Han of the Forward Armored Battalion negotiating with an old herdsman, who was over seventy years old, his face was full of wrinkles, and the hair on his head was all white.

Bao Xinghua and the others rushed over immediately after getting out of the car!

"Master! Master Zhang! You're coming! After seeing Bao Xinghua and Li Daniu, Wang Han saluted and said.

"Wang Han, what's going on?" Li Daniu asked with a frown.

"Reporter, this old man asked us who we were and what we were doing in their town! And ask again what are our tanks and armored vehicles? There are a lot of problems, and my Mongolian language is not very good, so there are some barriers to communication! Wang Han replied.

"In this way, Lao Bao, you grew up on the grassland, or a direct member of the Golden Family, you should solve it!" Li Daniu said.

Bao Xinghua strode forward, stroked his chest with one hand and said, "Qi Sai Bainu (hello)"

Very pure Mongolian language, old Battle felt relieved, different from the person just now, this time he knew that the Tao was the voice of the grassland, since he was a person on the grassland, it would not hurt the compatriots in the town.

"Sebainu, who are you?"

Bao Xinhua replied in Mongolian: "Uncle, we are the troops under the command of the county king of the four princes of the Gegentala grassland, and we are here to fight the Japanese devils!" ”

"The king of the four princes tribe, but the king of Zasakdoro?" Old Battle asked in surprise.

"Yes, this generation of Zasakdoro County King is called Bi Lige, and the next generation of County King is called Chen Feng, who is the son-in-law and nephew of Bi Lige County King, and also the chairman of our Saibei Province, we are all his soldiers, the evil enemy from the East has occupied our grassland, slaughtering our people at will, His Royal Highness Chen Feng organized the army to resist, and now it has hit the Horqin grassland, and the place west has become a grassland paradise!" Bao Xinghua replied.

"You're here to kill those demons?" Old Bartel asked with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, uncle, do you have devils here?"

"Not really, but three years ago an Oriental cavalry passed by our town, and that day the demons killed more than 50 people here, and all the beautiful girls in the town were robbed, including my son and daughter-in-law!" Old Battle said bitterly.

"Uncle, please rest assured, Immortal Heaven will not let those beasts go, their end will come soon!" Bao Xinghua said with a sinister face.

Old Bartel wiped his tears and said, "Thank you!" Where are you going, Old Battle, I have lived in the Horqin grassland for 70 years, and I am very familiar with the roads here, and I can lead the way for you! ”

Hearing that the old herdsmen took the initiative to lead the way for the troops, Bao Xinghua was very excited. As a child who grew up on the grassland, Bao Xinghua knew very well what was most important when marching on the grassland, not food or fresh water, but an old herdsman who was familiar with the terrain.

The environment on the grassland has not changed much, and there are no landmark buildings, so it is easiest to get lost in the grassland, and sometimes you may not see a person on the grassland for ten days or eight days, so an old herdsman who is familiar with the terrain is equivalent to a map of activities, which is precious.

"That's great, uncle, we're going to this place, you always look at it, do you know?" As he spoke, Bao Xinghua took out a map and pointed to a small dot on it and said.

The map is a simple hand-drawn map, with only a few place names on it, not including rivers and peaks.

Old Battle frowned and looked at the boss for a moment before saying, "The location you are going to should be southeast of Menda Town, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, Bagshi Gacha, 75 kilometers southeast of Menda town!" Bao Xinghua Road.

"Bagshe Gacha no longer exists, it was destroyed by those Oriental devils last year, and no one in the entire Gacha survived! All the yurts were burned down! Old Bart said.

Bao Xinghua and the others were taken aback, fortunately they met Old Battle, otherwise they really didn't know about it, and it was not easy to find a non-existent village on the grassland. If you don't have someone who is familiar with the terrain to guide you, you may be delayed.

"Uncle, do you remember the way there?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, you pack up, let's go immediately!"

"What a shame!" Old Bartel drove the sheep back to the town, and then set off with Bao Xinghua and the others.

What Bao Xinghua and the others didn't know was that at this time, an infantry division of the Japanese army plus a chariot division was also rushing from Namusi to Xiedai Sumu, and Beggshi Gacha was the only way for the Japanese army.

After a long day of rapid marching, the army finally arrived at Longhe Tupaozi, the nearest village to Bagshe Gacha, where Bao Xinghua and Li Daniu ordered the troops to rest for an hour, the troops ate, the vehicles were refueled, and the march continued after dinner.

In the afternoon, Bao Xinghua and others had already received an urgent telegram from the corps headquarters, saying that the main force of the Japanese army had arrived at Menda Town, and the two sides had started a battle in the position of Menda Town, and the Japanese army was attacking very wildly.

Therefore, the Corps Headquarters ordered Bao Xinghua and others to speed up their march, and to arrive at the predetermined location this evening, and then launch an attack on Namusi, the logistics base of the Japanese army.

As long as this logistics base is destroyed, the troops on the front line of the Japanese army will be short of ammunition and supplies, and at that time, under the combined attack of the main force of the corps and this strange army of Bao Xinghua and others, the collapse of the Japanese army on the entire front is completely predictable.

The Japanese side is the same, their goal is to make a detour behind Menda Town, cooperate with the main force, and form an encirclement of the Chinese troops in Menda Town, if they can completely annihilate it, it will be better.

During the day, the battle on the front line of Menda Town made the most elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese army finally see the power of Chen Feng's department, this train is not pushed, the is not blown, in front of the position of the mobile corps, no matter what weapons and equipment or tactics are used, the Japanese army can not break through Menda Town, and the Japanese puppet army in Tongliao City has encountered great resistance, so the Japanese First Front Army Headquarters ordered Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the First Division, to arrive at the predetermined position tomorrow morning and launch an attack on the Chinese army.

In order to accomplish the task, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama ordered the troops to march overnight. Since it was a night march and a march on the grassland, it was easy to get lost, so neither China nor Japan sent a pathfinder scout force, but chose to march en masse. Neither the Japanese nor the troops of the 8th Theater knew what was going on, and in front of them there was an identical mechanized force marching, and the distance between the two sides was getting infinitely closer.
