    Huai'an. Dukou Fort.

    This is the only place that leads from Zhangjiakou to Suidong. Yesterday, after the main force of the Japanese independent mixed second brigade arrived here, they set up camp at Dukou Fort. The old house of Zhuangzi's biggest old wealthy man was also temporarily requisitioned as a Japanese military command.  Department.

    Unlike the Japanese troops who burned, killed and looted in Guisui, the Japanese troops in Zhangjiakou were still very disciplined. After all, this place is close to Peiping and is within the surveillance scope of the secret service. Once someone is found to have violated military discipline on a large scale, it is likely to cause  Commander Okamura is dissatisfied.

    Everyone knows that Mr. Okamura is currently trying to win over these civilians. To this end, a public trial was held in Peiping, and many imperial soldiers who violated military discipline were killed at the scene.

    Although everyone wants to make a fortune by burning, killing, looting, etc., the place to look is not suitable, at least close to the counties and districts near Peking, because the impact will be too great.

    In the temporary headquarters, Goro Mano, the commander of the independent second brigade, seemed to be in a good mood. At the moment of the war, he did not discuss the war with his officers. Instead, he held a banquet at the old residence of the Zhang family and drank with several subordinate officers.

    Mano Goro was really happy at this time, because the legion headquarters had just sent the latest battle report. The 26th Division on the Datong side was blocked halfway by the enemy. It had not made an inch of progress for two days, and the division seemed to have suffered a lot of casualties.  .

    On the other side, those guys coming from the direction of Guisui were besieged by the army in Zhuozi County. Two cavalry brigades and two Royal Association Army cavalry regiments were completely wiped out, and even Zhuozi County was lost.

    Although the remnants of the army have broken through to Jining City, the situation is still not very good!

    This is indeed not good news for the entire imperial army. After all, it suffered a huge defeat, but it is rare good news for Mano Goro.

    This is not to say about Mano Goro's character, but the independent mixed second brigade has really endured too much in the past two years, and they urgently need a chance to stand out.

    As one of the earliest independent mixed brigades formed by the Japanese Army, the Second Independent Mixed Brigade has a unique position in the history of the North China Front Army. However, such a unit that should have left its name in history has now become  Became the laughing stock of the entire Imperial Japanese Army.

    Speaking of which, I have to mention one person, Norihide Abe, who is known as the flower of the famous generals of the Imperial Army.

    Norihide Abe is a native of Aomori Prefecture, Japan. He has determined since childhood to become a "samurai" who "rides the battlefield and is loyal to the emperor."  In order to realize this ideal, Norihide Abe was admitted to Japan's Army Sergeant School, which specializes in training army officers.

    The smoke of the Russo-Japanese War attracted these young people who longed to become "samurai", and Japan's victory over the former arrogant Tsarist Russia convinced these young people that they were invincible.  Although he did not have the opportunity to personally experience the artillery fire of the Russo-Japanese War, Abe grew up in this atmosphere and received strict training from the sergeants.

    After graduating from Rishi, Norihide Abe began his real career as a samurai and began serving in the army.

    This person has a kind of persistence for "honor" and "glory" and for war that is beyond ordinary soldiers. Therefore, in the bloodthirsty war competition, he stands out and has repeatedly made military exploits. He is highly appreciated by the base camp. In Japan  The military is known as the "Flower of Famous Generals".

    Beginning in 1907, Norihide Abe was promoted step by step in the army with no background. He successively served as the adjutant of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, the adjutant of the 8th Division, and the staff officer of the 18th Division.  By the time the Sino-Japanese War broke out in Showa 12, he had reached the rank of Army Major General.

    This is definitely a miracle in the entire Japanese army. You must know that the Japanese army has a strict hierarchy and the conditions for promotion are quite harsh. Generally speaking, if you want to be promoted to a general, you must study in mainland China. This has almost become a mandatory requirement.

    But Norihide Abe does not have such qualifications. He has been serving at the grassroots level since he graduated from Rokushi. He has no special background, but he became a general through his own efforts. This is the only one in the Japanese army.  of.

    Precisely because of this, Norihide Abe has become a role model in the minds of thousands of grassroots soldiers and lower-level officers, and is their motivation to move forward.

    But such a god-of-war figure, a general who was even called the "Flower of Famous Generals" in the military circles, died in North China, and was killed by Tubal Road with low combat effectiveness.

    The situation at that time was that after Kanji Tsuneoka, the former commander of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the North China Front Army Garrisoned in Mongolia, was shot dead by the Eighth Route Army in Zhangjiawan, Guangling County, Hebei Province, the Japanese Military Ministry sent Norihide Abe to replace Tsuneoka.  The position of commander of the Kuanzhi Brigade.

    After taking office, Norihide Abe immediately formulated a campaign to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army.He planned and personally commanded the troops to launch a large-scale attack on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area in an attempt to wipe out the anti-Japanese armed forces operating in the area.

    In the early morning of October 30, the Japanese army set off from Laiyuan County and marched toward Chajianling, Yinfang Town and other places.

    Laiyuan was the first county liberated by the Eighth Route Army when it went north to resist Japan. There was an intelligence network formed by the underground party there.  Although the county seat was occupied by the Japanese army, the rural villages on the outskirts were still under the control of the Eighth Route Army, and intelligence personnel kept track of every move of the Japanese army.

    Later, Yang Chengwu, commander and political commissar of the First Division of the Eighth Route Army, launched military deployment and devoted the main force to counterattack.  In the end, Norihide Abe was killed on the front line of Huangtu Ridge, and the second independent mixed brigade was also severely damaged.

    The commander was killed and his unit was severely damaged. This is definitely a fatal thing in the entire Japanese army.

    According to regulations, the designation of such a unit must be revoked. In the end, it was the commander of the Mongolian Army Naosaburo Okabe who repeatedly interceded to keep the designation of the Independent Second Brigade.

    Despite this, the independent second brigade has become the laughing stock of the entire Japanese Army!

    As the successor, Mano Goro was naturally under tremendous pressure. On the one hand, it was the low morale within the army, and on the other hand, it was the ridicule of his colleagues and other troops, which made him feel angry.

    However, since he took office, instead of finding a chance to avenge its past humiliation, the army has suffered considerable losses due to a series of wars such as the Hundred Regiment Battle of the Eighth Route Army, and its reputation has been damaged again.

    Under this situation, Mano Goro took the initiative to fight and participated in the battle to support Laiyuan a few months ago!

    As a result, after half a month of fighting on the front lines of Laiyuan and Lingqiu, there was still no achievement. In the end, because the main force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region broke through and Li Guoyao's troops captured Datong City, Zhenye's troops had to withdraw to Zhangjiakou.

    For this attack on Sumushan, Mano Goro came with the purpose of clearing the name of the independent second brigade!

    But he was also worried that the other Japanese troops would take credit from them. After all, except for the cavalry in the direction of Guisui, the remaining two troops were very capable.

    Especially the 26th Division commanded by Lieutenant General Anda 23rd. This unit is very familiar with the terrain of the Suidong line in northern Shanxi. In addition, it is still a division-level combat unit. Once they are allowed to enter Sumu Mountain, they may not be able to attack.  What happened to the second brigade alone?

    "But what Manogoro didn't expect was that Li Guoyao's troops unexpectedly blocked the 26th Division south of Fengzhen, and also severely damaged the cavalry units coming from the direction of Guisui and Baotou.

    In addition, the 27th Division in the direction of Baoding is too far away, so the only imperial army that has a chance to take Sumu Mountain is the second brigade.

    Of course, if it were before, Mano Goro would not think this was a good thing. After all, the morale of the second brigade alone was not very high, and the number of soldiers was never full. If it really encountered a serious problem, it might not be able to attack it.

    But now, in order to enhance their combat capabilities, the front army headquarters has not only mobilized a tank regiment for them, but also mobilized a large number of artillery.

    The unit under his command now has about 5,500 infantrymen, more than 100 tanks of various types, and more than 60 artillery pieces of various calibers.

    The combat capabilities are definitely no worse than those of ordinary field divisions, and may even be better than them.

    This is definitely the best opportunity to avenge shame. There is no one. The enemy is still surrounded, and the competitors are held back by the enemy. The only ones who can go straight to Huanglong are their troops. This  How could Mano Goro be unhappy?
