"You are that Qin Yi? Hmph, it's not easy to see you.”
"I am the special envoy of the young marshal. I have been specially ordered to recruit all of you. You must evacuate to the pass within three days.”
After seeing Qin Yi, this so-called special envoy had a high and mighty attitude.
Perhaps he had heard that Qin Yi was once a police chief of Jinzhou. When he saw the once high and mighty young marshal coming to recruit him, he would bow his head and kowtow?
To be honest, Qin Yi didn't know what this person was thinking.
At present, it seemed that there was no need to waste his breath on such a person.
As for that so-called profligate young master, he had never had a good impression of him. Moreover, there was a natural conflict of interest between the two parties.
"I don't know why Zhang Hanqing would send an idiot like you here, but it doesn't matter, as long as you have a mouth.”
"I just want you to bring back one sentence. The northeast is not surnamed Zhang!”
After the envoy heard Qin Yi's words, he immediately trembled in anger.
Just as he was about to curse out loud, he saw the cold light flashing in Qin Yi's eyes and could not help but shiver.
Now that he was in someone else's territory, it seemed that he should be more honest.
When he returned, he had to report to the commander with exaggerated details. When the army arrived, he would let him know what was good for him.
When this envoy returned, his relationship with the Northeast Army would be completely severed.
Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite.
"Duke Jiang, I want to go south and take Shanhai Pass. I want to open up a channel of communication with the pass.”
Jiang Fangzheng looked thoughtful and said,""Just now, I saw the young marshal's envoy leave in a panic. It seems that the commander has already made up his mind.”
"Taking down Shanhai Pass is beneficial to us, and it has to be fast.”
A portion of the supplies outside the pass were transported from inside the pass. This was also the only transportation channel.
Now that they had already broken off relations with the Northeast Army, once Zhang Shao Shuai used Shanhai Pass to choke them, it would be unbearable.
Qin Yi nodded heavily.
Currently, he only had Jinzhou, so he could use this opportunity to go south and take Suizhong, Jinxi, and other places.
As for the Guandong Army in the north, they would not dare to attack for the time being.
Moreover, he had the 2nd Armored Division of the border guards.
If the Guandong Army dared to attack, they would not be able to return.
According to the previous intelligence, there was a brigade of the Northeast Army stationed at Shanhaiguan.
If they wanted to take down Shanhai Pass, they would probably need to fight a battle.
"Boom boom boom"
M4A3 tanks drove on the dirt road, followed by military trucks and artillery vehicles.
In order to take down Shanhaiguan, Qin Yi had sent most of the artillery of the entire artillery regiment.
Jinxi City did not have any intention of resisting the incoming army. They immediately surrendered.
The other party wasn't the Japanese, so there was no need for them to risk their lives for Zhang Shao Shuai, who had abandoned them.
Qin Yi was resisting the Japanese invaders in Jinzhou, while Zhang Shao Shuai had abandoned the entire northeast. The difference between the two sides was obvious.
The Battle of Liaohe had given Qin Yi a high reputation in the four northeastern provinces.
After taking down Jinxi, the last barrier to Shanhai Pass had been broken through.
Huang Baitao didn't let his troops enter the city to rest, but instead, he led his troops south.
There weren't many troops heading south this time. There was only a tank battalion, an infantry regiment, and some artillery from the artillery unit.
The Air Force would also send fighter jets to support the battle this time.
It was imperative to take down Shanhaiguan.
"Brigadier! Bad news, bad news!”
In the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade, Brigadier General Chen Guanqun looked at his panicked subordinates and frowned. He was about to get angry.
"What happened?"
"They're here, the border guards are here!”
Chen Guanqun stood up and exclaimed,"What is it? Border guards? How many people did they send?"
The Northeast Army had a very good impression of this force that was resisting the Japanese invaders.
If it wasn't for the order from the Major, they would have acted like the border guards.
Defend against the Japanese invaders and protect your hometown.
"Many, many tanks and cannons. They are less than twenty miles away from Shanhaiguan.”
"What is it? How can they be so fast?"
The 1st Division was not a traditional infantry division, but a motorised infantry division.
It was equipped with a large number of trucks, cars, off-road vehicles, and other types of vehicles. Its mobility was beyond doubt.
The entire Shanhai Pass was on guard against the incoming border guards.
A tense atmosphere spread throughout the entire pass.
On the Shanhaiguan gate tower, Chen Guanqun and a group of brigade officers looked into the distance, watching the smoke and dust raised by the tanks.
They could not help but gasp.
"How terrifying, how truly terrifying. What is the background of this border guard? They actually have so many tanks.”
76 M4A3 Sherman tanks formed a huge tank group. Just the momentum alone was very threatening.
Although the Northeast Army had tanks before, they were all light tanks like Renault.
Its combat weight was only 7 tons, and its cannon was a 37mm short-barreled howitzer.
The M4A3 was a genuine medium-sized tank with a full combat weight of 32 tons. It was equipped with an L52 76mm cannon.
The Northeast Army had never seen such a powerful tank, and there were so many of them at once.
The appearance of the M4 tanks immediately stunned the 14th Infantry Brigade.
However, it was impossible for the tank battalion to achieve Huang Baitao's goal of subduing the enemy without fighting. They had to use other powerful methods.
That's right!
Huang Baitao did not plan to attack Shanhai Pass directly.
Firstly, he didn't want the Japanese to be watching and fighting against the people of the ancient country.
Secondly, he did not want Shanhai Pass to be destroyed because of this battle.
That was why he had developed a strategy of subduing the enemy without fighting. The shocking appearance of the tank group was only one part of it.
He believed that the Northeast Army would make the right choice soon.
