Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Mudanjiang,

Japanese Army 4th Division Headquarters,

The division commander, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, had a livid face.

Listening to the report from Chief of Staff Okada Shige,

"Last night, the enemy attacked multiple targets in Ning'an County, and our division suffered 863 casualties!"

Shigeru Sawada had just taken office when the other party presented him with a big gift!

"Baga! What the hell is going on?"

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, it was an artillery attack. We have not yet found any trace of the enemy. Judging from the intensity of the attack, it seems to be an artillery battalion, and it should be a highly mobile self-propelled artillery battalion!"

"Self-propelled artillery? Are you kidding?" Veins popped out on Shigeru Sawada's face!

"Sir, this is of course just speculation. Including the battles in Tokyo, according to the descriptions of the soldiers from various regiments who withdrew, they encountered heavy artillery attacks many times at night!"

Okada said cautiously.

Of course, they have no direct evidence yet, but they have been encountering this kind of blow since the 4th Division came to Mudanjiang!

Lieutenant General Shimizu Yoshishige, the commander of the 4th Independent Garrison, said,

"What's going on? Manchuria wasn't like this before."

After Kuroda Shigenori's death, Shimizu Yoshishige was recalled to the army as a reserve lieutenant general.

Five years ago, he had served as the commander of the 4th Garrison of the Kwantung Army, and his qualifications were no less than those of Sawada Shigeru!

Okada explained,

"Since the end of last year, public security in North Manchuria and Jilin East has suddenly deteriorated! According to our analysis, the rebels here should have received large-scale assistance from the Soviet Union!"

Shimizu Yoshishige said excitedly,

"It's the Soviets again! Currently, the Empire is fighting a great war with the Soviet Union at Nomonhan. If we win this battle, the Imperial Army will make eradicating Soviet troops in the Far East its main mission. Everyone, it's time to make achievements!"

Sawada Shigeru looked at this somewhat crazy old man and continued,

"Mr. Shimizu, I have telegraphed the Kwantung Army Headquarters. The first batch of reinforcements will be shipped by sea to the Korean port of Rajin and head north along the Tujia Line. However, the Tujia Line has been cut off, so the reinforcements can only get off at Tuanshanzi Station! This is about 20 kilometers away from Tokyo!"

The Japanese army sent reinforcements from China to Mudanjiang via two routes. One was to ship to Dalian by sea, then take a train from Dalian to Harbin, and then take the Binsui Line to Mudanjiang!

Although it took a long detour, the Binsui Line has now been reopened. Although it is very slow, it is considered a relatively safe route!

The other way is to ship by sea to the port of Rajin in North Korea! Taking the train northward via Tumen is the fastest way, but the Tujia line has been cut off!

Shigeru Sawada walked up to the map, anger flashing in his eyes. He had decided to launch a siege on the Jingpo Lake area immediately!

Shimizu Yoshishige also walked over to the map, looked at the location of Tuanshanzi, and said,

"Yoshi, please let me lead the troops as the vanguard to attack Tokyo City, find the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance as soon as possible, and fight a decisive battle with the enemy!"

Sawada Shigeru nodded.

"Qingshui-kun, this time, I will personally lead the main force of the division to attack. Let us work together to eradicate the root of the problem!"

The sky is bright,

Yin Xinjun came back in a truck.

He first came to the town of Tokyo,

This area is jointly defended by both sides.

In the town is the team’s 2nd squad, Tang Junping’s unit!

Tang Junping only left 30 people in the town! The rest were scattered in the small villages to the north and west of the town!

There are 50 garrisons in each village!

He himself led the remaining personnel and followed the artillery unit to station in Guangmingtun at the foot of Pingdingshan!

There is an artillery position to the north of the village, with three 105mm howitzers deployed!

There is also an artillery position on the west side, with four 75 field guns deployed!

The range of the 105mm howitzer and the 75mm field gun is similar, both a little over 10 kilometers.

And on Pingdingshan, a company of Kang Huaifu was stationed!

Yin Xinjun came directly to Guangmingtun, which used to be a group tribe, but the walls and bunkers were still there.

After the battle in Tokyo town, the two puppet policemen originally stationed here surrendered, so there was no fighting!

Arriving at the entrance of the village,

The soldier on guard immediately called Tang Junping and Daniu!

Yin Xinjun ordered,

"There are some canned food and flour in the car. Carry half of them down, and remember to send some to the tunnel on the mountain!"

He came to the bunker in the northeast corner,

The bunker has three floors.

The top floor is the radio station!

In the middle is the dormitory of Danniu and Tang Junping!

Standing on the top floor, looking at the three howitzers not far away, Yin Xinjun looked at Daniu and asked,

"Have you determined the coordinate parameters for this area?"

Daniel said hurriedly,

"Boss, don't worry. These past few days, the observation soldiers have been carrying the artillery telescope for observation every day!"

"Our artillery strikes will mainly focus on the Tokyo town and around Pingdingshan. At the same time, the artillery positions must be covered!"

"Don't worry, Boss, I've arranged everything!"

Yin Xinjun said with satisfaction,

"Okay then, give me a copy of the observed coordinate data later!"

The first batch of artillery observers in the team were also trained by Yin Xinjun himself!

Afterwards, Yin Xinjun walked to Pingding Mountain, which is only about 500 meters high, but can overlook the town of Tokyo. It is only about 1 kilometer away from the town of Tokyo!

Setting up a heavy machine gun on the mountain would threaten the roads in and out of Tokyo town, so seizing this commanding height is of great significance!

Yin Xinjun walked around and saw that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces had already dug many trenches and foxholes.

Several soldiers on guard saw Yin Xinjun and saluted!

Yin Xinjun asked,

"Where's your company commander?"

A soldier said hurriedly,

"The company commander is in the cave. I'll go call him!"

"No, I just want to see how the tunnel is being dug!"

The soldier hurriedly ran down the mountain about 10 meters, jumped into a trench, pointed to an anti-artillery hole and said,

"Yan Wang, there is an entrance here!"

Yin Xinjun jumped down the trench and saw two cat-ear holes inside, which had been connected.

There is a dark hole behind the cat ear cave, about one meter high, and you can only walk in by bending over.

Yin Xinjun turned on the flashlight and saw that the passage was slanting downward. After walking for more than ten meters, he came to a horizontal passage, which was immediately much wider. The height of the hole was two meters and the width was more than one meter.

In the passage, you can often see rows of logs used for support around and on the top, and wooden boards fixed horizontally with nails!

There was almost a cat-ear hole on the side wall every few steps, and in some of the holes there were soldiers lying there and snoring!

Yin Xinjun walked and shouted,

"San'er!"

Under the guidance of the soldiers, he came to a branch road and finally found Saner!

San'er lit a candle and was writing something with a pen!

Seeing Yin Xinjun was also a pleasant surprise.

"Boss Yan Wang, why are you here?"

"Let me take a look at your pit!"

San'er got excited and started to introduce,

"The pits we dug have nine branches, large and small, with a total of six exits, including three in the back mountain, two in the front mountain, and one at the top! The deepest one, where I am, is more than 9 meters thick from the surface of the mountain! And we have a lot of support, so it won't be a problem even if the enemy bombs with planes!"
