.On July 7, 1940, the third anniversary of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the towering Kunlun Pass was tilted westward.

At this moment, at the closing door of this famous pass known as "The Pass is the only one who stands in the middle of the winding mountain road, more than a dozen Japanese officers and assistants who were called to hold an emergency military meeting took advantage of the free time before the superiors still arrived at the venue to comment on the dangerous and beautiful scenery in front of them.

"The north water returns to Linpu, and the south controls Guyong. One pass opens the bird path and locks the spiral peaks with thousands of feet high." Not to mention that there are still a few of these robbers who are well-educated, otherwise they would not be able to recite this passage of the Kunlun Pass final commentary written by Zhang Pengzhan, a poet of the Qing Dynasty.

When the protagonist of today's meeting, Lieutenant General Yamashita was still walking on the steps at the upper gate, he vaguely heard someone saying something in Chinese. Although his attainments in Chinese are still at the level of a child who reads pictures and reads, from the tone of the man who speaks Chinese, he can still feel that someone is reciting Chinese poetry. Thinking of this, the mountain can't help but smile. In the Yamashita detachment full of jealous warriors who only know how to kill, there will be such leisure on the eve of the war. Except for the Masao Nakamura who is obsessed with the brilliant and long-lasting Han culture, there will be no one else.

Sure enough, as soon as I stepped onto the city gate, I saw that Nakamura, who had just shown her pride, was surrounded by a group of his colleagues who were dominated by admiration and confusion, like stars and moons. This scene made Xiang Yiru, who claimed to be a self-proclaimed mountain, sigh again for the lack of cultural heritage of Yamato civilization.

Seeing the "protagonist" present, the Japanese officers who seemed to be casual and leisurely at the moment suddenly regained the "normal" that was so humble and rigorous that they were a bit dogmatic, and the posture of bowing and bowing and bowing. Not to mention that they were too standard and too neat. If Wen Song was far away from here, he would definitely say that the butts of this group of Japanese officials had to be really worth a bit of ornamental value, which was comparable to the sisters in the Zuihualou Building in Yulin City.

The only drawback is that they have very different names for the mountain, from the division commander, commander, lieutenant general, detachment commander, etc. This slightly destroyed the current "sovereign" to dull atmosphere, and also indirectly reminded the mountain. The eight or nine thousand elite soldiers he led now were selected from the complex structures of four divisions and two mixed brigades. These people are elites, and they are also a "mixed force" that urgently needs further coordination between each other. Or it is really a group of miscellaneous troops.

"You guys. The aerial reconnaissance of the aviation troops and the information obtained by the bamboo agency in the area of ​​the bamboo authorities have shown that the specific numbers of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in southern Guizhou will be investigated. The total number of enemies in the three divisions and lands is gathering from all over the place. The commander of the Central Plains concluded that this Chinese army will soon go up the Yongjiang River and come to compete with our detachment for control of Kunlun Pass." Shanxia held the chorus and looked at his new and old subordinates one by one. The results of the observation were basically satisfying him. He had not tasted much from the 55th Division.

In the eyes of the officers who had given the great pains of the Chinese army, they had been taught the lieutenant general at the foot of the mountain, who had worn out their mouths all the way. At this time, they finally saw the seriousness. Although, just being serious, with the suffering officers of the twenty-one army system who had regarded the Chinese as even opponents from the bottom of their hearts, their thoughts were not correct enough, but compared to the habitual frivolity they showed that they did not take any Chinese army seriously, they were much better, too much better.

"Commander, I once again suggest that my detachment should send powerful troops to capture Nanning and serve as a front post. www.piaotian.com.com Please consider my suggestion seriously." Facts have proved that some of the fast Lieutenant General Yamashita's ideas were too optimistic. The officers who were transferred to the Shanxia detachment by the 55th Division with his troops were in the bones and did not give up their old ideas. , insisting that the Shanxia Detachment, which has nearly 10,000 troops, has the ability to launch an independent small battle with independent offense and defense. Some of them have the overspinning elements of them, and they also advocated dispatching to attack and rushing the troops south, and jointly attacking hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops with the main force, which they thought had no combat power. At the same time, they occupied Kunlun Pass, Binyang County, and Nanning City, thus completely cutting off the connection between the Chinese army gathered in southern Guangxi and the north. This is the first step in their plan.

"Tengtianjun, your suggestion was rejected at the last meeting, why should I discuss it again? Since you are so stubborn, I will analyze it for you. Not to mention that there is a Chinese regular army in Nanning and more than 10,000 local armed forces. In the short term, thousands of people cannot be defeated. Even if you use troops like a god, you will take it down within one or two days. Facing the main force of the Chinese army heading north with absolute superior forces that will soon counterattack, I can't defend it. I still say that the end of any point outside the Kunlun Mountains where the troops are divided will be to let the Chinese army defeat us one by one, and eventually lead to the complete miscarriage of the "Falcon" plan."

Masao Nakamura, who was tit-for-tat to Tengtian, had long proposed to shrink into a group to defend the highlands around Kunlun Pass. It seemed a bit too conservative in the foot of the mountain. Therefore, at the last military meeting, in order to buy time for the main force to improve the fortifications, he still deployed a strengthening brigade of troops to serve as a garrison at the Gaofeng Pass, which was stuck on the road leading to Kunlun Mountain in Nanning. The arrogant Nakamura's words were more or less aimed at the highest commander of the mountain. The foot of this mountain that had planned a coup, but due to the great enemy, he was unwilling to fall into the dispute between his subordinates, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Just as the dispute between Tengtian and Nakamura escalated further, a telegram sent by confidential staff was handed to Fengwen of Yamashita. He glanced at this telegram. The foot of the mountain, which was originally a little careless, opened his little eyes in an instant.

"Yo Xi!" Shanxia shouted for no reason, adding to the focus of the scene again, as the chief.

"Everyone, I will announce "good news". The Bamboo organ has mastered the numbers of the Chinese army of the four divisions that are about to head north. These four divisions will fight with our detachment within a few days. The Chinese division is the 200th Division, the 72nd Division, the 100th Division, and the honorary first division." It is said that it is "good news", but from the tone of the tone of the people who speak and the expressions of the people who listen to them, people who listen to them, they cannot feel any joy. Especially, Tanaka Masao and others are listening to these ones that make them "unforgettable" When I was in the number, I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and my eyes were red. Hate was the pinnacle of hatred. But if I observed carefully from the perspective of an outsider, I might be able to see the faint fear and shock from the back of the anger of the hatred that appeared outside in Nakamura and his eyes. Of course, not only did the cowardice and fear hidden deep in their hearts, other places present could not see it, but they themselves might not be able to clearly and clearly realize it.

"Commander, Colonel Miki called, Gao Feng Pass was violently attacked by the Chinese army with strong firepower ten minutes ago. Colonel Yamaki asked the commander to give him a instruction immediately." The shouts of a staff officer who rushed to the gate with the ranks of the major. It undoubtedly added to the already low air pressure in the venue.

This time, the original rich facial expression of the Japanese general Zuo, who had just looked fierce, turned into a flat plate. A shocking thigh, an endless shocking thigh envelope was covering each of them. Even Fengwen, who had been sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, was opening his mouth wide, and he breathed heavily after breathing without any grace.

After a long time, Fengwen of Yamashita called out to his subordinates who were still immersed in disguise, word by word: "All officers and soldiers of each department will enter the position within half an hour. And we will speed up the repair of the position! Before the Chinese army launched the Kunlun Mountain, I will see a complete defense system. If that unit did not complete the scheduled task, the captain would be thrust." Yamashita was anxious and said a sentence from his mouth to "thrust" in Japanese Chinese, "thrust" and the Japanese officers under his command could not help but feel a little confused, but they knew that the current time was not a good time to discuss grammar with the detachment leader.

"Hayi!" When the generals performed their etiquette and said in turn, the mountain called the chief staff officer who had just rushed up to report the demise and told him in a deep voice: "Send a report to Colonel Miki immediately, so that he can guard more and more. Once he feels unable to support him, he will retreat quickly to Kunlun Mountain!"

The staff officer was shocked by the unusual tone at the foot of the mountain, and then was shocked by the order given by the Lieutenant General, which was almost unprecedented among the Japanese army. He was shocked for a while and was stunned on the spot. When he came to his senses, he realized that the commander of the division, who was always full of fighting spirit and had endless energy, had turned around long ago. He looked around but had only had time to see a slightly hunched back and the afterglow of the sunset disappeared below the building.

Only those brave men with no brains will mock the brave general of the Japanese army, Yamashita Fengwen, who had just confirmed that tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Chinese army were coming, was already full of war and smoke. At this moment when the initiative was lost, he showed some fatigue and decadence. You should know that Yamashita Fengwen is responsible for the responsibility of Mount Tai, and even the national destiny, and the rise and fall of emotions has long been impossible for the mountain to make decisions. As for the order that sounds incredible at first, it is said that

It is not true. Gaofeng Pass is also a dangerous place to fight. After all, it is not as good as the terrain of the Kunlun Mountains on both sides. There is only one mountain road that runs through it. If one hundredth of the troops are left there at the beginning of the war, even though he has grabbed the Wuning Highway, he has become a lonely mountain detachment in the heart of the Chinese army, the losses in morale, confidence, substantial combat power, etc. are immeasurable and cannot be compensated.

Although the mountain had already done it, in this unfavorable situation, what he could do was the tragic fate of the 1,400 Japanese troops commanded by Colonel Miki and Miki were already nailed on the board, and no matter how Amaterasu came, he could not change it.

In fact, when Colonel Miki sent a subtle emergency telegram to the foot of the mountain, he did not have a reliable estimate of the firepower and strength of the Chinese army and how powerful it was. He just had the sound of gunfire and cannons "surrounding" his command from several directions and at the same time, he immediately affirmed that his troops were in extreme danger of being surrounded by heavy troops from the enemy.

In fact, at this time, the Sanmu army still had a trace of vitality. Not to mention other directions, at least they were responsible for blocking Gaofeng Pass and connecting to Kunlun Mountains in the north before they had time to join the dragon. But the matter was that the Japanese were too honest and did not have the best style of China's ordinary disturbing the people, but they were as timid as a warlord army, who ran away in scattered when they heard the guns. The sound of killing was that they instinctively reacted to resist and asked for instructions from the top. After two trips, they delayed the most precious escape time.

OK! When the understanding telegram at the foot of the mountain was sent to Miki's hands, Gaofeng Pass was just surrounded by the Chinese army. At first, Miki thought that he was still relying on the three squadrons of war chariots in his hands to break through, but soon, as Miki's eleven or two tanks were erected for the Great Wall were so huge that they were so terrible that the officers and soldiers of Miki's troops felt incredible that the chariots of war were scrambled into scrap iron after being realized. Colonel Miki understood that this time he could only defend to death. Miki was in unprecedented depression. However, Liu Zutang, who was close to him, was at the most proud moment of his life.

Liu Zutang had imagined that he would lead the armored army to stand alone and urge him to break through the sharp land. But he never expected that this day would come so quickly, so that he was still in his dream until now.

It's no wonder. Only not long ago, Liu Zutang was a captain and staff officer in the Armored Office of the Fifth Army who often had a sense of talent but was not met. But just three months later, he was the deputy column captain of the New Twenty Army's Speed ​​Column and the squadron leader of the chariot detachment. Since Liu Yicheng, who was originally the captain of the chariot detachment, died, the column captain of this column was still part-time by Cheng Jiaji himself. It can be imagined that Cheng Jiaji has been busy across both military and political paths, and he still has time to take care of him.

Not to mention the big business of the fast column, Cheng Jiaji, who never lacks self-awareness, does not think that a layman's combat business will have a 100-word effect. Therefore, in addition to trying his best to be a "nanny" of this "gold-swallowing beast", he never cares about other details of the fast column. That is to say, Liu Zutang, a monk who became a half-way monk, has become the actual commander of this large-scale fully motorized army, which is not only unique to the New Twenty Army, but also in the country.

In fact, the appointment of Liu Zutang, a person who was too unlucky to take charge of the army of the Quick Column. Cheng Jiaji's close friends had a lot of trouble in secret. Even Wen Songyuan, the direct descendant of Cheng Jiaji, who had never been involved in personnel affairs, stood up and spoke out for a hard-working and high-profile old subordinate in the Quick Column. But everyone was surprised that Wen Erye, who had almost never been dismissed by Cheng Jiaji, had lost all the time. Since then, no one dared to use Liu Zutang's qualifications and loyalty to talk about his loyalty in front of Cheng Jiaji.

However, Qian Shen did not catch up in this storm. The reason why Cheng Jiaji chose Liu Zutang was clearly seen. He wanted to avoid the phenomenon of the 199th Regiment that appeared in the Xuzhou battle. All Cheng Jiaji, who was interested in Liu Zutang, not only appreciated his outstanding armor command ability and excellent mechanical technology, but also had a shallow foundation. If it was his unsected school, Qian Shen even dared to conclude that Cheng Jiaji and Wen Songyuan, the ally brothers, sang a double act in this matter.

Of course, Qian Shen, who is well aware of the way of using power and tricks, must be ruined in his stomach.

Regarding the above, Liu Zutang was unable to see the whole story due to his own connections, but he had heard some news, which made him even more grateful to Cheng Jiaji.

It is a tradition of the Chinese people for thousands of years. Although Liu Zutang was a foreign student who had never read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, he had to sacrifice his life to repay him with the kindness of others. He still recognized this as a Chinese. It was also a test of the heart's endurance. Just when Liu Zutang was about to work hard to govern the army to prove that Cheng Jiaji's extraordinary appointment was a wise move, a great event that was more important than promotion to his personal spleen and stomach fell from the sky. More than a day ago, he was told that he would serve as the commander of the North-bound chariot cluster composed of two battalions of the Fifth Army's Chariot Regiment and the Chariot Detachment. Then, he took the largest armored team in China to escort the advance column composed of three infantry regiments who drove in cars and headed north together to Binyang County.

"Report, the captain of the detachment and the Japanese are huddled in the pass to resist stubbornly. The Wenshi ordered the chariot troops to support it." The military information reported by the adjutant brought Liu Zutang back to reality.

"Order the third team to attack quickly." Liu Zutang responded without thinking.

This third chariot troop consists of ten Japanese bean chariots that were light and barely used for mountain combat with steepness. Once the Japanese soldiers who entered the battle and tried to defend the peak pass were in trouble. All this starts with the unique nature of the third chariot troop. This is an armored fire spurt that appeared in the history of the time and space of Cheng Jiaji. It was not until the late stage of World War II. This is a powerful force of the armored forces to soluble in the defense of the war.

The emerging armies that combine protection and the terrifying lethality of the flamethrower are rare in actual combat. There are only two ways to crack it, using tank clusters that have an absolute advantage in quantity to encircle and powerful aircraft groups for tracking and bombing. In addition, even artillery fire coverage is difficult to deal with it. The Japanese Miki Brigade, which did not meet either condition, suddenly encountered this armored unit with the advanced level of the world at that time, and there was a reason why it was broken thousands of miles away.

"Order, all regiments take advantage of the situation to attack. Fuck it! Bullying the Japanese devils today, it's so good!" From the telescope, in the flash of fire, rows of Japanese troops were burned into pieces of black charcoal by flames spurted from the chariots that met with them, which made Wen Songyuan, who was commanding the advance team of the Northbound Group, excited. After all the orders were given, he couldn't help but say it.

"Teacher Wen, pressing all the three infantry regiments on his hand. Are you too careless? The Japanese on Kunlun Mountain have enough brigades!" A slow voice from the command center raised a strange meaning.

"Do you dare to come from the foot of the mountain?" Wen Songyuan simply defeated a passerby sent by the headquarters of the Forty-five Army to "assist" him with a question and a urging hand.

The anger in the heart of the high-ranking leader of the army headquarters who had not even obtained a name is self-evident. However, given the all-round strength gap between the contemptuous person who was essentially just a scholar who was fed to the army and the "barbarians" of Wen Songyuan, this dissatisfaction is destined to be powerless.

In fact, Wen Songyuan was not as proud as the Gao Chan slandered in his heart. He really wanted to be able to lead his army down the mountain to fight him. Before coming, Cheng Jiaji knew how dangerous Kunlun Mountain was, but he specifically explained to him that the Japanese army at Gaofeng Pass could not let go, but that was just a small head. If he could lure the main force of the Japanese army down Kunlun Mountain, even if it was a war of attrition that would be a little loss, it would be a great achievement.

The only person who is most qualified to answer Wen Songyuan's words, "Do you dare to come from the foot of the mountain?" is the only person in the foot of the mountain Fengwen himself, and he gave the answer, of course, whether.

Shortly after the war at Gaofeng Pass started, the mountain alone returned to the gate of Kunlun Pass. Although at night, the distance between Kunlun Pass and Gaofeng Pass was far away, even if the mountain borrowed a super large military telescope that had to be fixed with a bracket, it could only see the sparks of fire on the other side of the Gaofeng Pass. However, the lieutenant general stood at the gate for more than three hours until the guns and cannons in the direction of Gaofeng Pass stopped, and the exhausted lieutenant general dragged his steps down the gate step by step.
Chapter completed!
