On October 25th, it was another good weather, with clear weather and cloudlessness.

The four columns of the 36th Army, namely the 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th columns, had completed their pre-war assembly in Qinhuangdao. At dawn today, the four columns divided into four groups and left Qinhuangdao and headed towards Huludao and Jinzhou.

The four columns and various infantry regiments have basically achieved motorization. If everything goes well, the vanguard will reach Huludao at noon today.

The defending enemy in Huludao has been investigated clearly. There is a brigade of Japanese devils in Huludao, and the 130th Brigade has five field infantry brigades under its jurisdiction. There is no gang, and the entire brigade has about 6,000 people.

In Jinzhou, the Japanese devils stationed heavy troops and three divisions, but these three divisions are not Class A divisions. These three divisions are the 122nd Division, the 134th Division, the 139th Division, and all Class B divisions.

The Japanese Kwantung Army used to have a large number of A-level divisions. With the outbreak of the Southeast Asian War, especially with the outbreak of the Pacific War, a large number of elite divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army were drawn to the Southeast Asian battlefield or the Pacific battlefield.

The Kwantung Army originated in the early 20th century. In 1904, Japan sent troops to invade Northeast China and provoked the Russo-Japanese War. After more than a year of fighting, Japan won. The Japanese invaders who had long coveted the land of Northeast China, under the pretext of protecting the rights and interests of the South Manchuria Railway, specially established a so-called "Manchuria Railway" garrison, and also stayed in a division stationed in South Manchuria.

The two units had a force of about 20,000, and were under the command of the Governor of Kanto. At that time, Japan set up the "Kanto Prefecture" in the Northeast region under its control. Therefore, this unit was also called the "Kanto Army". As a result, the Kanto Army began the crime of entrenching in the Northeast for 40 years.

In 1919, in order to promote the status of the Kanto Army, Japan abolished the Kanto Governor's Office, established the Kanto Office with less authority, and established the Kanto Army Command on the basis of the Army Department of the Kanto Governor's Office, and commanded the various Japanese troops stationed in northeast China. From then on, the Kanto Army was directly under the command of the Japanese Emperor and greatly enhanced its majesty.

On September 18, 1931, Japan brazenly launched the "September 18th" Incident. The Kwantung Army, who sharpened its knives, took the opportunity to rush out of the South Manchurian Railway and occupied Shenyang, Changchun, Liaoyang and other cities within one day.

At the same time, the Kwantung Army began to increase its strength rapidly: in 1931, there were only three divisions of the Kwantung Army, 6 in 1932, and 5 divisions maintained their strength from 1933 to 1936. In 1937, 7 in 1938, 9 in 1939, and 15 in 1939.

In the second half of 1939, in order to cooperate with the Nazi Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, the Kwantung Army organized a series of special exercises aimed at the Soviet Union and mobilized a large number of troops to hoard the Northeast. Before Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the total strength of the Kwantung Army had reached 31 divisions, with a rise to 850,000, which was known as 10,000.

Now, although a large number of divisions have been transferred to the Pacific battlefield, many divisions such as B and C have been added, with a total of nearly 30 divisions and more than 700,000 people.

As noon approached, the vanguard of the 6th Column, the first mechanized infantry regiment and the cavalry regiment, the forces of the two regiments were less than 20 kilometers away from Huludao. In front, there was an outer stronghold of the Japanese.

"Captain, look! There is a Japanese stronghold in front of you."

Hearing this, the commander of the first regiment of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment took a telescope and observed the Japanese stronghold. The stronghold was not big, and it was estimated that there was only one Japanese infantry team and dozens of Japanese.

There is no problem in eliminating these Japanese devils. The problem is that as long as everyone attacks, the Japanese devils will definitely report the situation to the defending enemies in Huludao City. The Japanese devils will know everyone's whereabouts.

Thinking of this, the commander of the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment was a little hesitant.

After thinking about it, the first regiment commander decided to destroy the Japanese stronghold. The Japanese knew his whereabouts. Sooner or later, the Japanese would know that so many troops headed north this time.

Thinking of this, the first regiment commander picked up the microphone of his armored command vehicle and ordered loudly: "First Battalion Commander, you send a company to bring me the Japanese stronghold and wipe out all these Japanese."

"Captain, don't worry, we will go and wipe out all these Japanese devils immediately."

The sound of a battalion commander came from the headphones. Not long after, a company soldier, several armored personnel carriers, and more than a dozen off-road vehicles, immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Japanese stronghold.

The Japanese in the stronghold also discovered the huge convoy of the mechanized infantry regiment in the distance. The Japanese squad leader was shocked to see so many chariots.

"Baga! Not good! It's the chariot of the 36th Army."

The Japanese team leader ordered the Japanese in the stronghold to resist, and hurriedly picked up the phone number inside the stronghold and quickly reported the situation to the brigade headquarters in Feihuludao.

The dozens of Japanese Japanese inside the base were shocked when they saw a large number of armored personnel carriers and a large number of off-road vehicles appearing in front of them, and they were also shocked and prepared to fight stubbornly.

Several Japanese machine guns were set up, and many Japanese were holding guns, hiding beside the shooting port, or hiding behind the fortifications, preparing to shoot.

However, the Japanese obviously did not expect that they would be hit hard before they could shoot.

All columns of the 36th Army were equipped with a large number of bazooka launchers and 40mm bazooka launchers, almost equipped with various infantry squads, and 120mm heavy bazooka launchers, and equipped with various infantry platoons.

As for mechanized infantry regiments and tank regiments, there are more bazooka equipped. Each mechanized infantry platoon has two or three heavy bazooka equipped, and there are more 40mm light bazooka.

In order to deal with the Japanese strongholds, the soldiers of course used heavy rocket launchers.

This mechanical infantry company, who was ordered to destroy the Japanese stronghold, approached the Japanese stronghold while preparing to fire rockets.

On several off-road vehicles, the soldiers were carrying 120mm heavy rocket launchers and aiming at the Japanese stronghold in the distance. The effective range of the 120mm heavy rocket launchers reaches several meters, and they can destroy the Japanese stronghold at a long distance.

The soldiers started to take action at least three or four meters away from the Japanese stronghold.

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..."

Several unique sounds came, and at least five or six heavy bazooka launchers began to fire rockets. These rockets, dragged their long tails, headed straight to the Japanese stronghold.

Inside the stronghold.

The Japanese saw the soldiers' vehicles getting closer and closer, and the Japanese were preparing to shoot. Suddenly, many Japanese saw many rockets flying straight over.

What weapon is this?

Many Japanese were full of doubts and could not understand what these flying rockets were. However, they could not tolerate the Japanese thinking about it, and these rockets hit the Japanese stronghold.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Several violent explosions sounded, and the Japanese stronghold was hit by at least several heavy rockets. Suddenly, the Japanese stronghold collapsed.

Most of the Japanese in the stronghold were blown to death, while the rest of the Japanese were not blown to death, but were also crushed to death by the collapsed stronghold and crushed to death.

"Okay! Beautiful job!"

The captain and company commander who was ordered to destroy the Japanese stronghold saw that the soldiers were of good quality and almost all of the rockets hit the target. The Japanese stronghold had been blown down and turned into ruins.

The captain's company commander applauded immediately.

After destroying the Japanese stronghold, the soldiers of this mechanical infantry company accelerated and approached the Japanese stronghold that had become a ruin. Many soldiers got out of the car and carefully checked them, killing the Japanese who were not dead one after another.

Destroying this Japanese stronghold was just a small episode. On the way everyone was moving, many Japanese strongholds built by them were destroyed by the soldiers.

At noon, the vanguard of the 6th Column had approached the periphery of Huludao, and the other columns were not far from Huludao.

Several large columns of the 36th Army destroyed many Japanese strongholds, but the whereabouts of everyone were gradually known by Japanese.

However, the commanders of each column did not care about this. The Japanese knew that. Anyway, with so many troops heading north, the Japanese would know sooner or later.

Shenyang, Kwantung Army Headquarters.

Finally, the Japanese knew that the 36th Army had already made a big move north and aimed directly at Jinzhou.

Mijiro Umezu, the commander of the Kanto Army of the Japanese Kanto Army, walked uneasyly in the command hall, thinking about countermeasures. Now, Mijiro Umezu knew that his Kanto Army might have become the target of the 36th Army.

"Hiss Commander! This time the 36th Army is coming with great force and dispatching so many troops, we need to enter the state of combat readiness immediately, and at the same time, report the situation to the base camp immediately."

When the Japanese Chief of Staff saw Mejiro Umezu walking around uneasyly, they immediately began to "give advice" and gave some suggestions to Mejiro Umezuzu.

Upon hearing this, Mejiro Umezu nodded and said, "Immediately report the situation to the base camp and order all our troops to carry out combat readiness."

After thinking for a while, Mejiro Umezu said again: "Issue an order to Jinzhou Airport and send planes to bomb the troops of the 36th Army."

The weather is sunny now, and Mijiro Umezu believes that it is suitable for dispatching aircraft to bomb the 36th Army. The 36th Army is moving closer to Huludao, which is especially suitable for dispatching aircraft to attack.
