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

On a winter night, on the north bank of the Imjin River in North Korea, the bone-chilling cold came like a tide. The ground was covered with white snow, and the moonlight shone down, reflecting a silvery white world.

Several crawler excavators painted white were busy in the snow, their engines emitting low roars and the white steam they emitted quickly dissipated in the cold air.

Their iron arms rose and fell, turning over large pieces of earth. The dug earth emitted a slight moisture, but before it could completely fall to the ground, it was attacked by the cold air, and the edges quickly became hard.

This is the latest crawler excavator produced by Mulan Xinwen Machinery Factory. It can climb up to 60 degrees and can go up the mountain. It is particularly suitable for the mountainous areas of North Korea. Based on feedback from the front line, Li Zengxin, the logistics department of Mulan Military Sub-district, specially purchased units to supply to various units of the Volunteer Army for use in winter fortification construction!

The cold wind howls,

Soldiers from the 39th Division of the 116th Army of the Volunteer Army, holding engineering shovels, surrounded the excavator and took turns working against the clock.

The excavator dug two horizontal two-meter-deep trenches on the river bank, directly under the permafrost, and the soldiers began earthwork operations directly under the permafrost layer!

The soldiers wore a full set of cold-resistant equipment, including masks, gloves, and earmuffs. They inserted the engineering shovels in their hands into the soft soil again and again, making a muffled "puff" sound. Accompanied by the soldiers' heavy breathing, the soil was quickly shoveled up and piled up, gradually outlining the outline of the underground shelter.

Everyone was silent. One soldier accidentally touched the shovel of his comrade next to him. The two looked at each other, grinned, and continued to work hard. In this cold winter night, the passion in their hearts never cooled down. They were only concerned with completing the bunker excavation as soon as possible to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The two sides talked for almost a month, but because the US side had no sincerity, the talks ended in vain. Zhisi then ordered a breakthrough across the Imjin River and launched the third battle!

The 39th Army deployed its positions from Xinfa in the south to Dojing in the north, right where the Imjin River flows through the th parallel. The front is narrow and there are many steep cliffs along the river.

Across the river, the British defense forces set up defenses along the river, built layers of fortifications, and held their positions on the dangerous terrain. There were obstacles in front of the positions, including 2 to 3 barbed wire fences, and anti-infantry mines were buried along the river and at the road crossings.

In the western part of the position, the river bank bends towards us, forming a convex shape! The enemy's firepower on the east and west sides is obviously exposed, making it easy for our army to attack their flanks! Moreover, the river water in this section is shallow and easy to wade, and the beach on the opposite bank is flat, so it is easier for the commandos to attack, but the enemy also deployed heavy troops here. Especially in our section, the terrain is flat, and the hidden assembly and even attack of the troops are under the enemy's nose. It is easier to develop an attack here, but it is bound to be fiercely blocked by the enemy and cause huge casualties.

On the east side of the position, the water flow in this section bends towards the enemy, forming a concave shape! Our attacking troops will be attacked from both sides by the enemy. What's more troublesome is that less than 5 meters after crossing the river, there is a steep cliff more than 1 meters high. Even if the troops cross the river, it is very difficult to climb. Because of this, this section is only defended by one infantry battalion of the th Brigade of the British Royal Army!

Unwilling to give up, Commander Wang of the 116th Division finally found a breakthrough after several days of careful reconnaissance. It turned out that the steep cliff on the opposite side was not unreachable. There were Yulie ditches of varying heights on the steep cliff, just like steps. People could climb up by stepping on the ladder, and in this way they could climb up the cliff in relays. The problem of the cliff was solved.

What remains is how to cross the river quickly and secretly. If we cannot cross the river quickly, the troops will be crowded on the river bank, and the enemy will quickly mobilize artillery fire, which will inevitably cause heavy casualties to our army!

Therefore, Commander Wang came up with another trick, which was to hide all the attacking troops by the river, and underground! They were only a hundred meters away from the Imjin River, striving to make the sprint distance of the assault as short as possible!

Kalimantan Island,

In the mayor's office of Sesinlao City,

Two men were sitting on the sofa chatting.

A man wearing a black top hat and traditional Indonesian striped clothing, about 40 years old, is Supadi, the mayor of Sesinlao City.

The other one has neat short hair standing upright, a pair of sharp eyes under thick eyebrows, and a straight police uniform that highlights his strong body. He is Dani, the police chief of Sesinlao City!

Supadi frowned and said,

"What's going on? Hassan has been gone for two days, why is there still no news?"

Dani looked relaxed.

"Mr. Mayor, according to my intelligence, there are only about 10 armed policemen in the entire Haizhou City. This time, Hassan and his gang went with more than people. I guess that after Hassan robbed the rubber plantation, he went to Haizhou for fun and occupied the place by the way! You know, those Chinese have always been cowardly and dare not resist at all!"

Supadi immediately showed an unhappy look on his face.

"How could he do this? Acting on his own without asking for permission? During the last meeting, General Agus specifically told us that our local government is only responsible for provoking disputes with the Chinese, and the final occupation and control must be handled by the military!"

Major General Agus is the commander of the 4th Brigade of the Indonesian Army stationed in Kalimantan and the highest military commander on the island!

Dani smiled. Hassan was a retired soldier, always arrogant, and usually looked down on him as the director. He took the opportunity to exaggerate and said,

"Hassan is an old subordinate of Agus. Was it Agus who gave him the order?"

After hearing this, Supadi's face became even uglier. There are many conflicts between the Indonesian government and the military. The military has a long reach and always likes to compete for power with the government!

"Dani, you personally take people to Haizhou and bring Hassan back to me!"

"Okay, Mr. Mayor!" Dani was secretly happy!

Dani left the city government and immediately gathered his subordinates and got on five trucks. This time, since they were going to take over Haizhou openly, the policemen were all dressed in formal attire and carrying rifles!

The convoy left Saixinlao and moved slowly along the winding mountain road. The warm afternoon sun shone on the car bodies.

After entering the mountainous area, due to the rugged road, it took us more than three hours to finally arrive at Damon Pass, which borders Haizhou!

After turning a corner, Damon Pass came into sight, and a loud "bang" suddenly broke the silence in the mountains.

The police in the car were all shocked!

Looking far away, the mountain pass was filled with dust and fog, and huge gray mushroom clouds were slowly rising. Although the distance was still far, people could still be seen gathering in the distance. Every time the explosion sounded, the ground trembled faintly, as if the earth was breathing slightly.

Dani was a little confused and didn't know what the other party was doing. The team moved forward for more than 1 kilometer.

Then he saw that on the right side of the road, a huge gap had appeared in the originally intact mountain, and broken rocks were piled up in a mess around it.

A few hundred meters away from the mountain,

Several crushers stood in the center of the site. They were huge and solid, with their steel shells covered in dust and stone chips.

At the entrance, the loader waved its huge bucket and poured in the blasted stones of different sizes. These stones collided with each other, making a "crackling" sound, and then went down the slide and plunged into the "big mouth" of the crusher.

Stones of various sizes flow out from the other end of the crusher and are classified through several screens!

It turns out this is a stone factory!
