Pre-war preparations
At this moment, outside Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou and even Weiyuan, which was only one kilometer northeast of Shanhaiguan, were already the devil troops!
The Japanese wouldn't take long to make their move! Their firing at Shanhaiguan this time was already a warning!
"Japanese, in history, China's Northeast Army failed to defend Shanhaiguan. Now that I'm here, I won't give you this chance!”
"Time, give me time! I still need ten days to arm all the villagers in Ox-Head Valley!”
More than 500 well-trained regular army soldiers equipped with weapons that were not inferior to the Japanese's. They had the strength to fight!
The GM34 general machine gun was produced by Mauser in 1934 and was equipped with the army the following year. At the end of 1932, this weapon had not been produced yet!
Therefore, the GM34 machine gun was already ahead of this era.
In ten days, the mining machine would be able to collect enough resource currency to exchange for better weapons!
"Wait! The system said that the bigger the territory occupied, the more rewards one would receive! Then why should I defend Goose-neck Mountain?”
Jiang Yuntian immediately mobilized everyone to cut down the trees between Goose-neck Mountain Base and Ox-head Valley to open up a passage.
Apart from connecting Goose-neck Mountain and Ox-head Valley to increase the territory area, they could also use the wood to build a camp.
A week later, all the villagers in Niutou Valley accepted the modification of the optimization cabin.
Including the Red Alert soldiers, and excluding the young, old, and women, Jiang Yuntian now had 300 soldiers who could be pulled out to the battlefield at any time.
As for the old, weak, women, and children, they were not weak either. They could also serve as outstanding guards.
The optimization cabin itself had the ability to improve their physical fitness. Jiang Yuntian did not include them in the frontline troops because the base camp needed troops to protect it, not because they did not have the combat ability.
"Our army…will be called the Yan Huang Army! Your two companies are temporarily under the command of the Japanese Breaking Camp!”
"Good!" Chen Fugui shouted. Break the Japanese camp! Destroy the Japanese pirates! Chase the Japanese pirates out of China and restore the country!”
"Commander, which jurisdiction does our unit belong to?" Wang Erlei suddenly asked. Is it the Northeast Army or…the National Army?"
Jiang Yuntian's lips curled up." We don't belong to any faction. The Yan Huang Army is the Yan Huang Army. I am the commander of the Yan Huang Army!" Do you understand?"
Wang Erlei put his legs together, and a surprised expression appeared on his face."Understood! Commander!"
"You seem very happy. Why?" Jiang Yuntian asked.”
Wang Erlei was stunned. He grinned and said," I always thought that you were the commander of the Northeast Army. Think about it. How can it be better to listen to someone else's orders than to do it ourselves?" Wouldn't there be more opportunities for advancement?”
Jiang Yuntian laughed out loud. I'm just afraid that you don't have any ambition. Wang Erlei, it's good that you think this way!”
"In the current situation, the Northeastern Army has abandoned the Northeast and is now inside the pass. There are also warlords everywhere. Heroes and nobles will emerge in troubled times. There will always be a chance for you. Do you understand?”
This sentence was simply "treasonous"!
"Understood! Heroes are born in troubled times!" Wang Erlei usually didn't speak much, but at this moment, his eyes were burning and his gaze was firm.
"Now, 1st Company, 2nd Company, you have to start preparing. In at most ten days, the Japanese would launch a full-scale attack on Shanhaiguan. The Northeast Army would not be able to hold on! Our Yan Huang Army has to be prepared for war. We have to head to Shanhaiguan at any time to help defend Shanhaiguan with the Northeast Army!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
However, he thought that he still had time, but he did not expect that the situation at Shanhai Pass had already begun to deteriorate.
More than 3000 Japanese infantrymen and more than 40 field artillery and heavy artillery were distributed to the east and south gates of Shihe Bridge, as well as Erlidian and Weiyuan City in the east of the city. There were also three armored vehicles and more than 20 tanks parked at the gap in the wall of Nanshuiguan, the station and Shihe Bridge.
The island nation then began to urge the Japanese residents living in the South Pass area to move out, blatantly showing that they were about to take action.
On December 27th, the Japanese army began to increase their troops.
On the Northeast Army's side, they repaired their fortifications overnight. They dug trenches at the main intersections of the streets, set up roadblocks, and dug cellars for each household. The four doors were closed, preparing to fight to the death with the Japanese army.
In this era, most of China's territory was still in their hands. Beiping, Shanghai, Jinling, and other territories had not been lost yet. The Chinese people had not been defeated yet, so the voices of resistance were very high, and the enthusiasm of the people to resist was also very high.
Japan had not even fully digested the three eastern provinces, and they wanted to seize Shanhaiguan to prepare for the invasion of North China and Central China in the future.
"We can't wait any longer! It seemed that this was several days earlier than the Battle of Shanhaiguan in history!”
Jiang Yuntian immediately gathered his troops and made preparations for the expedition.
At this moment, something happened at Ox-Head Valley!
About a company of soldiers from the Northeast Army had a confrontation with the villagers of Niutou Valley.
It was almost on the verge of exploding!
A villager who rushed over to report reported that the troops were rushing to Shanhaiguan Pass to provide support through Niutou Valley. They had entered the village to ask for a drink of water. This was originally normal. The company of the Northeast Army did not do much, but unfortunately, they discovered the villagers 'weapons!
The confrontation happened.
Indeed, although the villagers who stayed behind at Niutou Valley were all old, weak, women, and children, they had the qualities of a soldier. They had sharp eyes. They could see it, and when they found a gun, how could they not be vigilant?
By the time Jiang Yuntian and his men arrived at Ox-Head Valley, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. His reserves had actually disarmed the Northeast Army.
