    Ma Siyuan said: "The artillery regiment will provide us with sufficient support when the time comes. That boy Cai Heyuan said that when the artillery shells of both regiments are thrown here, we can definitely withstand the Japanese attack."

    Chang Ran nodded and said: "Okay, if that doesn't work, we can allocate two more battalions from our 125th Brigade as mobile forces to provide support to the troops on both wings at any time."

    Ma Siyuan said: "Okay, give the order immediately. This Japanese army has been in Taibai Mountain for two days and has not encountered us yet. It is probably arrogant at the moment. It's time to let them taste the pain."

    Until now, there has not been any conflict between Ma Siyuan's troops and the Japanese troops here.  Even the small scout troops dispatched by the Japanese army were ordered by Ma Siyuan to avoid them as much as possible and not to conflict with them.

    This gave the Japanese Third Mixed Brigade, which acted as the vanguard, the illusion that the enemy was very afraid of them. Or, in a more optimistic situation, the enemy did not have enough troops and intelligence to know where they were in this direction.  action.

    On the first day, Shimojing Zuoyi asked the scout troops to do more reconnaissance, and the troops moved relatively slowly. At the end of the day, they had advanced less than ten kilometers in this direction.

    This made Yoshika Ryosuke, the commander of the 9th Division in the rear, a little unhappy. He thought that Shimoi Zuoichi was too cautious.  He issued an order urging him to move as quickly as possible to open a path for the main force of the Ninth Division in the rear.

    Shimoi Zuoichi originally planned to come here slowly, but he couldn't bear Yoshika Ryosuke's eagerness to make contributions.  He was thinking that if you want to make meritorious service so much, why don't you lead the main force of the Ninth Division to the front, and let our Third Mixed Brigade serve as cannon fodder in front?

    But he definitely couldn¡¯t say this.  After all, he was just a civilian who was promoted based on his accumulated military exploits. It was not easy to get the position of brigade commander.  As for Yoshika Ryosuke, he was born into a noble family and his family belonged to the Chinese ethnic group a long time ago. Naturally, he could not afford to offend him.

    Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and let his troops advance quickly.  Because of the large number of people in the Ninth Division, its moving speed was much slower than that of the Third Mixed Brigade, which was on the left side of the well. The distance between the two units had reached more than ten kilometers.

    The further forward one goes, the more uneasy Zuo Yi becomes.

    Because no matter how slow the enemy reacts, they have been marching in Taibai Mountain for two days. It is impossible for them to make no movement at all.

    It¡¯s not like they didn¡¯t discover the enemy¡¯s defensive positions along the way.  However, those defensive positions and bunker groups were all deserted without exception, and they all looked like they had just been evacuated.

    Even if the troops are transferred to other directions, then all the troops should not be transferred from this direction.

    And if you want to lure them deep, then directly annihilate them.  This made Shimojizuo Yi a little unbelievable, because he had fought against the Chinese army many times on the battlefield in North China.  Their firepower and soldier combat capabilities are very limited. Unless they have an absolute numerical advantage, it is absolutely impossible to annihilate them in a short period of time.

    What's more, more than ten kilometers behind them is the main force of the Ninth Division. It only takes a few hours to support them.

    This made Shimoi Zuoyi's inner uneasiness slightly alleviated, and he led his troops to continue to advance in three groups.

    The two brigades on the flanks were traveling on unfamiliar routes and the mountain roads were too difficult to walk, so they were some distance away from their central main force.

    At 11:30 noon, the main force of 3,000 people from the Third Mixed Brigade finally arrived at Guanhegou under the scorching sun above their heads.

    This ravine is very long, seven or eight kilometers long, with overlapping mountains and dense woods on both sides. It looks very quiet, with only the sound of rushing water and the chirping of birds that echo in the ravine from time to time.

    They have been marching since six o'clock in the morning, and the troops are also a little tired.

    After going down the well, he ordered his troops to enter the slightly flat valley to rest a little while replenishing their drinking water.

    Those soldiers who had been marching hard on the mountain road for a long time were very happy when they heard the order to rest.

    It was late June, and the scorching sun was high overhead, making it unbearable for these soldiers to endure the heat even in the slightly cooler mountains.

    After hearing the order to rest, many Japanese soldiers filled their kettles with mountain spring water, took off their clothes, and jumped into the Guanhe River.?Bath in that small river.

    Shimoji Zuoyi took off his military cap, and beads of sweat flowed from his hair on his forehead.  He also squatted down, took a big sip of the cool river water in his hand, and then washed his face.

    The mountain spring water slapped on his cheeks, and as soon as he went down to the well, he felt that the heat in his body had reduced a bit.

    "Brigade commander, let's rest here for a while. The sun is too strong now. There are already soldiers in my army who can't withstand the scorching heat and suffer from heatstroke." A brigade captain ran over.  Asked Zuo Yi from the down well.

    Xiajingzuo thought for a while and then said: "Okay, let's let the scout troops move forward first and continue the investigation. Let's rest here for a while. By the way, you can send two small teams to the mountains on both sides.  Climb up, if the enemy has a position above, it will be very disadvantageous for us."

    The captain nodded and said, "Yes, your Excellency, the brigade commander." The captain said and ordered the two teams to set off and climb the mountains on both sides.

    "The other Japanese soldiers cheered after receiving Shimozuoichi's order.  Many Japanese soldiers began to take off their clothes and jumped into the river to cool down their bodies.  Some Japanese soldiers who had finished taking a bath were leaning against the trees on both sides of the river ditch, enjoying the shade.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
