After the Lingyuan battle, the Mishan advance team was commended by the Kwantung Army headquarters, and an important task was assigned to them, which was to take advantage of the Chinese defenders' overall wavering to penetrate through the fragmented Chinese defense line and reach the Great Wall defense line.
The important pass of Lengkou Pass will gain time and space for the next operation of the Kwantung Army base camp.
At the same time, the Kwantung Army also sent corresponding troops to capture Gubeikou and Xifengkou, which are also important passes on the Great Wall.
The Kwantung Army's base camp had two purposes. One was to take advantage of the unexpected smooth progress of the war. Before the Chinese army's rear headquarters had time to make corresponding arrangements, it occupied several passes of the Great Wall to block reinforcements from the Chinese army.
The passage through Rehe allowed the main Japanese army in Rehe to calmly eliminate the remaining enemies in Rehe, thereby fully occupying Rehe.
The second purpose is that the smooth progress of the Battle of Rehe further stimulated the ambitions of the Kwantung Army. If the Chinese defenders in the pass are as weak as the Rehe defenders, then they can take advantage of the situation to attack the Great Wall and conquer northern China.
The two most important cities, Peking and Tianjin, came under Japanese control.
After receiving the order, Major Mishan was as excited as chicken blood. Being able to go deep behind the enemy lines and directly seize the enemy's dangerous passes was not only an honor for the Mishan brigade to launch a separate battle for the first time, but also represented the importance and importance the base camp placed on him.
Trust means that your independent command ability has been recognized and appreciated by your boss.
You must know that the Japanese brigade-level units during this period were generally unable to act alone. Even if Yoneyama Shimoki led the team to attack Lingyuan from the side for hundreds of kilometers, it was only done with the cooperation of the main force behind and friendly forces on the side.
Yes, it can at most be regarded as a fulcrum of a roundabout strategy.
But this time, he was far away from the main force and led the team alone deep into the enemy's rear. The friendly forces on the left and right were 100 kilometers away. All actions and emergency decisions were made by himself. This meant that the boss already believed that he had
The ability to command independently.
In the Japanese army, the most basic unit with independent command authority is the regiment level.
This means that Major Yoneyama Shita's collar and epaulettes will soon have a small silver star.
You must know that the lowest military rank in the Japanese army that can serve as a commander is Lieutenant Colonel. Even if you cannot serve as a commander for the time being, a deputy commander cannot escape.
Therefore, although the north wind in Yanshan is still biting and cold, and although they have marched continuously for more than 40 kilometers, and the physical strength of the soldiers and horses in the whole brigade has reached the limit, the heart of Major Miyama Shishu is warm.
He didn't think it was difficult to capture Lengkou Pass. He had received information from the base camp before setting off. Currently, there were no more than one company of old and weak Chinese soldiers stationed at Lengkou Pass. Under his command, there were more than a thousand imperial troops who were like wolves and tigers.
There is nothing in front of me, just a lamb to be slaughtered.
At this time, Miyama Shitaki took off his cotton gloves, pulled up his cotton cuffs, and looked at the bright watch on his wrist. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. After reading it, he breathed and wiped the lower surface. This is a good watch.
, I snatched it from a fat Chinese colonel when I rushed into Lingyuan County one day ago.
When his own guards pulled him out of the cabinet in the bedroom of a large mansion, the stinking officer was pleading for mercy loudly. His disgusting fat face was full of tears and snot, and he was wearing a watch on his hand.
and a ring set with an emerald were handed over voluntarily.
However, Major Yoneyama Shimo's tree still expressionlessly chopped off his pig-like head with his saber. An officer who abandons his men and hides back home alone does not deserve to be called a soldier, nor does he deserve to live.
in the world.
Of course, this pig-headed Chinese officer is not without merit. At least his watch and ring look like high-end goods.
Although Yoneyama Shitaki, a country bumpkin from Hokkaido, did not know that it was a Swiss Longines watch and a priceless emerald ring, it did not prevent him from taking off the old Seiko watch he had worn for more than ten years and putting it on
Longines put it on his wrist and put the ring in his arms.
Next, he discovered another advantage of the pig-headed colonel of the Northeast Army, that is, the concubine he was looking for was so beautiful. Mishan Xia Shu changed and muttered several advantages that were rarely found in this Chinese colonel, while crying at the
The expression of animal nature has been completed in the beautiful Chinese woman.
When Miyama Shitaki walked out of the room with his pants lifted, he looked at the longing eyes of his guards and laughed unconsciously. Of course he would not be stingy in rewarding this smooth-skinned Chinese woman to his loyal men.
They enjoyed it, but at this moment, he felt that it was his luck to come to China. There were not only countless wealth here, but also endless women to enjoy.
As for whether this Chinese woman could survive a dozen Hokkaido ruthless men, it was not something Yoneyama Shimoki considered. After all, there were so many Chinese women like stars in the sky, waiting for the imperial warriors to conquer and enjoy.
Mishan, who was wiping his watch, thought of this and felt another wave of heat rise in his lower abdomen. He quickly calmed down, fearing that his subordinates would notice something strange about him. He cursed the damn weather in a low voice, and then took out his waistband.
Looking at the map in the leather bag.
Then he felt that it was really difficult to determine the direction of the team in this snow-covered mountain forest, so he asked the guards to call over the puppet army officer who was specially leading the way for questioning.
Not long after, I saw a puppet army officer with a low eyebrow running from the front of the team. This man's surname was Pang, and he was also a subordinate of the traitor Zhang Haipeng. It happened to be a coincidence that this man was the same as the one Zhou Wen and the others met outside the customs.
Lai Youmao, who led the Japanese reconnaissance team, was a colleague. He was also a horse bandit who followed Lai Youmao back then, so he was familiar with the way into the customs.
"Pang Sang, how far is it from Lengkou Pass? There are mountains all around, and there are no obvious targets. Are you sure we are not going wrong?"
"No way, Taijun. When you are a kid, this is the old road. You will never go wrong with your eyes closed. Taijun, please look at the farthest mountain. It is white below and black above.
That one is Fenghuang Mountain. It is said that no matter how heavy the snow is, there will be no snow on the top of Fenghuang Mountain. Legend has it that the top of the mountain used to be the Phoenix's nest. There was heat, and the snow melted when it reached the top of the mountain. Lengkou Pass was built there.
On the top of Phoenix Mountain.”
Mishan Xia Shu looked carefully into the distance, and sure enough he saw the mountain that the puppet officer mentioned. After carefully comparing it with the map, he immediately knew that it was not far from Fenghuang Mountain, so he asked again: "Pang Sang, here
Is there a place nearby that can be sheltered from the wind? The imperial army has traveled dozens of kilometers and needs a rest."
