Song Yuhang nodded slightly with satisfaction, walked out of the bunker, stood on the commanding height of the main peak and looked down at the situation near the left and right wing positions with a telescope. From the perspective, tens of thousands of troops and civilians were busy digging deep into the bunker, and the core main positions on both wings were hidden in the dense jungle according to Song Yuhang's previous deployment.

On the rugged path behind the mountain, nearly a thousand soldiers and civilians were carrying more than a dozen 105mm caliber American howitzers were slowly climbing.

The loud horns pierced through the sky, and these two tons of American howitzers were moving little by little. This battalion of American howitzers were a surprise that Song Yuhang carefully prepared for the Japanese.

Seeing this, Song Yuhang, who took off his shirt, turned his head to Liang Chao and others and said, "Don't follow me!"

Seeing that Commander Song had joined the rope-pulling team, the officers joined the traction ranks one after another. A veteran who was humming a trumpet suddenly found that there was one more person beside him. The veteran recognized the officer from Song Yuhang's pants, so he grinned and said, "Sir, you can't do that so hard. You have to follow the trumpet's tail sound and hold on, and pull it step by step!"

Song Yuhang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "How old is my brother this year? How many people are in the family? How long have you been a soldier?"

Song Yuhang's question made the veteran stunned at first, and smiled and said, "The rabbit is almost fifty. There are three girls in the family, and the mistress is only ten years old! The Japanese plane exploded the oxen and the house. Thanks to the fact that they didn't hurt people, they were forced to join the army to eat food after they were fighting. They thought about buying a cow for their mothers and building a blue brick house again!"

Song Yuhang followed the horn to drag the rope and moved his steps hard, and said to the veteran: "Don't worry! Your wish will come true. After the Japanese are finished fighting, you can breathe the air without gunpowder!"

The veteran did not respond, but just sighed slightly!

Suddenly, Liang Chao ran to Song Yuhang with great strides and said anxiously: "Commander, the Japanese have broken through the front guard position of the 11th Division. It is estimated that they will arrive in the evening!"

Song Yuhang frowned and threw down the rope. He took the towel from the guard beside him and wiped his sweat. He shook the military uniform in his hand and said, "Go, go to the command center!"

"Commander Song actually pulled the tow rope with us?" The veteran was stunned in surprise. He couldn't imagine that the young man next to him was the commander of the Kunming garrison guards just now!

Commander Song had just now been in the tow rope team and the news spread throughout the troops. The soldiers were inspired to send out a series of slogans one after another. The speed of the team was marching significantly faster.

The evening is cooler in Kuncheng. The sunset shines on the ground, Taiping Mountain, and immerses in peace. The armored troops of the 200th mechanized brigade have secretly completed the deployment. The heavy artillery battalion is nervously calculating the coordinates of the directions. In addition to a few observation posts on the frontier positions, even the artillery guides enter the underground tunnel and stand by.

At the same time, in a valley twenty kilometers away from Taiping Mountain, more than a dozen antennas stood beside towering trees. Dozens of tents were arranged in an orderly manner into a circle. Nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers were busy digging field defense fortifications around them.

The infamous Japanese 6th Division was located in the grove of the valley. In the largest tent, the commander of the 6th Division, Kamida Masato, was sitting upright with his Emperor's samurai sword, holding his emperor-given land, closing his eyes to rest.

Unlike the former two division leaders, Sesouo and Shiro Inaba, Kanda Masato obtained the position of division commander by nepotism! But Kanda Masato is not an ordinary person. As a student of Lu Da Yu, he received the short sword of the Emperor's imperial gift at the time of graduation, Kanda Masato emphasized the role of offensive land. He advocated using continuous and fierce firepower to attack the enemy, and using rapid and continuous attack to destroy the enemy's will to resist, thus winning at the minimum cost.

However, since Kana Masato took over as the commander of the 6th Division, Shiro Inaba, he has been in trouble. On the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese army always gave special priority to the 6th Division, a beast army that committed numerous crimes. The 6th Division, which has become the target of attack, often suffered heavy losses and its replenishment speed is far from keeping up with the casualties of the troops. In desperation, the Japanese base camp transferred the 6th Division into the Myanmar Front Army.

The Sixth Division has always performed mediocrely, which disappointed the heads of the base camp who had high hopes for the Sixth Division. In the Kunming Campaign launched by the base camp, the Sixth Division was the first to play the role of the main attack site. What is even more surprising is that the base camp actually appointed the 70th Brigade as the strategic reserve team of the 6th Division. This decision at the base camp made the temporary commander of the 18th Division, and the commander of the 32nd Division Ideto Teitzo.

In order to revitalize the 6th Division and regain the honor that should belong to Kumamoto Division, Kanda Masato secretly decided to seize Kunming as his congratulations before the Royal Autumn Festival on October 20th.

On the eve of the war, Chongqing actually sent a special telegram, which asked Song Yuhang to apply for the promotion of officers at all levels of subordinates as appropriate. According to the customary practice, the direct supreme commander of the troops has the right to finally decide whether to implement the promotion order. Song Yuhang was very dissatisfied with this old tradition within the national army. Although the 200th mechanized brigade was organized, it was actually a reorganized division. The entire brigade was strengthened by nearly 16,000 people in the upper and lower levels after the war. The heads of each battalion were actually held in the rank of colonel. If they were promoted to the general rank in the rank of generals in the 200th mechanized brigade, more than ten major generals would appear. Unless the 200th mechanized brigade was directly expanded into the 200th mechanized army, there would be jokes about the major generals' battalion.

Song Yuhang understood that his promotion belonged to the ranks of lucky Jin. He remembered some documentaries about European battlefields that he had watched in his previous life. An ordinary recruit from the US military has experienced many battles such as Africa, Italy, France, etc., and his military rank is just a corporal or sergeant. Even during the war, compared with the national army, it was still quite difficult to promote or award medals for most officers of the Allied Army.

Therefore, Song Yuhang has always maintained a very objective attitude towards the promotion of his subordinates. His principle is to never bury anyone's contributions, but he will never open the door to enter. He knew that if he was nepotism in the army, the consequences would be extremely serious. He also knew that if he was not employed properly, it would cause turmoil within the army.

Of course, Song Yuhang knew the intentions of the Ministry of Military Affairs. This was the Ministry of Military Affairs that was digging its own corners in a different way. If the general promotion was carried out before the war, the 200th mechanized brigade would face an expansion crisis after the war. On the contrary, if Song Yuhang suppressed the general promotion in the war, he would inevitably offend a large number of people. In that case, the 200th mechanized brigade would no longer be a monolith.

After thinking about it, Song Yuhang decided to promote the officers and soldiers below the captain to fight. Most of the officers and soldiers were very frank about this promotion. The war was imminent, and it was still unknown whether they could survive. No one would care whether there was one more bar or one more star on their seal.

The only thing that was excited was that the young students from various technical branches of the 200th Mechanized Brigade were particularly happy that they would not have to wait until the end of the year to upgrade their military ranks.

In the evening, Chen Jieyi brought a bowl of herbal tea to Song Yuhang, who had been running around the position for a whole day. Song Yuhang, who was so thirsty that he smoked, picked up the bowl and drank it in, and then smiled at Chen Jieyi who was staring at him with big eyes.

Chen Jieyi looked at Song Yuhang's increasingly thin figure silently and didn't know what to say. These days, she heard Su Na and her subordinates complaining at the Intelligence Department that the Military Commission was complaining about the strategic deployment and arrangements of the buttocks, and actually exposed Kunming, a major southwest city with weak defense, to the Japanese army, for fear that Kunming alone would be in danger of defending to the death!

The burden on Song Yuhang's shoulder was so heavy that Chen Jieyi dared not disturb her. She had to strand her plan, but Chen Jieyi gradually discovered that she seemed to like Song Yuhang's concentrating appearance, especially the domineering aura of Song Yuhang standing in front of the map of the war room.

Chen Jieyi was thinking about it, and the orderly soldiers brought dinner. Chen Jieyi took it. She knew that it was already past supper, and Song Yuhang must have not eaten dinner again, and might not even have lunch. When she thought of Song Yuhang's expression of tightening her stomach when there was no one, she knew that Song Yuhang's stomach must be bad.

After looking at the simple supper, Chen Jieyi couldn't imagine a young master of the Song family who was born in a playboy, the dignified lieutenant general of the National Army, Kunming garrison guard commander. The dinner was just a bowl of millet porridge, half a mixed flour bun and a few slices of pickles. She wouldn't believe it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes or beaten to death.

Chen Jieyi put down the dinner and looked at Song Yuhang with a meaningful look, sighed helplessly and left. As soon as she walked out of the yard, she suddenly remembered that she forgot her hat in Song Yuhang's room, and turned back to the room, Chen Jieyi was completely shocked!

Song Yuhang leaned on the bed in confusion, biting a steamed bun in his mouth and fell asleep. Chen Jieyi's nose turned slightly sore and her eyes turned red. She gently helped Song Yuhang to the bed. She closed the door and did not leave, but sat on the stone pier at the door. She didn't want anyone to disturb Song Yuhang, hoping that she could let him sleep for a while.

Unfortunately, wishes are always beautiful. Not long after, Xu Tuan, who looked anxious, came to her and asked, "Did Lieutenant Shen see the brigade?"

Chen Jieyi nodded, Xu Tuan immediately entered the room and woke Song Yuhang up. Then the two of them hurriedly headed straight to the hidden command center.
Chapter completed!
