The tank battalion drove the 76 M4 Sherman tanks to a place less than a kilometer away from Shanhaiguan.
All the tanks raised their 76mm tank cannons high up and pointed their black muzzles at the city gate tower.
At this distance, everyone on the city wall could see clearly without binoculars.
"Is this the tank that the border guards used to fight the devils? No wonder the Japanese were defeated so quickly.”
A colonel from the 14th Infantry Brigade exclaimed.
Chen Guanqun's eyes lit up and he said,"Send someone to ask what they are trying to do. I don't have any Japanese here."
"Brigadier General, look over there. Cannons, so many cannons!”
A staff officer who was observing the border guards with binoculars exclaimed.
Looking in the direction he was pointing at, he saw a few trucks dragging 105mm howitzers and 155mm field artillery stopped a few kilometers away.
Artillery soldiers alighted from the vehicles and started setting up artillery positions.
Setting up an artillery position at this distance was equivalent to putting a bayonet on a cannon.
"Hiss!"
"Why do they have so many heavy cannons? My god, they are all 105mm and above, and there are 12 heavy cannons with at least 150mm caliber.”
Hearing this, everyone could not help but be incomparably shocked.
In the land of the ancient country, cannons were the truth.
Especially the large-caliber heavy artillery, which was much more intimidating than tanks.
After all, the walls of Shanhaiguan City were strong, and they were not afraid of the attack of the tanks.
However, against the 105mm and 155mm caliber heavy artillery, it was probably not enough.
Just these 20 heavy cannons alone were enough to make their brigade suffer.
Dozens of tanks and more than 20 heavy cannons gave the Shanhaiguan garrison a great deal of pressure and shock.
"Brigade Commander, what should we do? The border guards don't come with good intentions."
The independent 14th Infantry Brigade had three infantry regiments, with a total of nearly 10,000 soldiers.
However, it did not seem to be enough against the border guards below the city.
Chen Guanqun didn't know what to do.
If he wanted to fight, he definitely couldn't. If he couldn't win, he could only be beaten.
It seemed like he had no choice but to fight. The other party had already put a knife to his neck.
"Immediately ask Beiping for help. We need reinforcements. It would be best if they could transfer the 8th Pao Brigade over.”
The Northeast Army now had three artillery brigades and a total of six artillery regiments.
The 8th Artillery Brigade was a heavy artillery brigade with two heavy artillery regiments, each equipped with 16 150mm caliber howitzers.
This was also the last of the Northeast Army's wealth.
However, at this moment, a roar sounded in the sky.
One by one, P-51D Mustang fighter jets that shone with silver-white light under the sun emerged from the thin clouds.
The 36 Mustangs of the 1st Fighter Group were deployed again.
"Fighters, the border guards are here!”
36 Mustang fighter jets began to circle above Shanhaiguan Pass.
It immediately put a lot of pressure on the troops stationed inside the pass.
It made them feel as if a sword of Darkmoss was hanging above their heads.
As long as this sword fell, it could take their lives at any time.
"Brigadier General, the border guards are calling. They want to talk to you.”
Chen Guanqun stared at the fighter jets circling in the sky, then looked at the tanks and cannons in the distance.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly." The border guards really think highly of us. Since they want to talk, then let's talk. It's good to talk so that there won't be any misunderstandings."”
Vice Brigadier General Guan Ping glanced at him and said in a low voice,""Brigade Commander, I will support all your decisions.”
Chen Guanqun looked at him deeply and nodded without saying anything.
Two hours later, the gates of Shanhaiguan opened.
The military trucks of the 2nd regiment of the 1st division of the border guards entered in a single file.
The 14th Independent Infantry Brigade announced that they would leave the Northeast Army and join the Border Guards.
Ever since they had retreated to the pass, the morale of the entire Northeast Army had been very low.
They could only watch as the Japanese invaded their homeland, but they were like cowards, constantly retreating until they reached the pass.
They would give up this million square kilometers of black land.
It was not impossible to say that he was not disappointed in Xiao Liuzi.
Therefore, Huang Baitao's tactic of subduing the enemy without fighting was successful.
Without expending a single soldier, he had taken Shanhai Pass and even recruited tens of thousands of soldiers from the Northeast Army.
The 14th Independent Infantry Brigade was one of the 8 elite regiments of Xiao Liuzi.
Although his combat strength was not very strong, it was still acceptable.
After Qin Yi received the telegram from Huang Baitao, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Huanran didn't disappoint me. Well done.”
"Order him to reorganize this brigade immediately. It will be the temporary 101st Division of the Border Guards. Chen Guanqun will be the commander and Guan Ping will be the deputy commander.”
"Let them remain stationed in Shanhaiguan Pass and wait for the arrival of the military officers before changing their equipment.”
After taking down Shanhai Pass, it could be considered as removing one of Qin Yi's worries.
He had always been worried.
If he were to engage in a war with the Guandong Army in the future, this Little Six would cause trouble behind him.
If he was suddenly stabbed, he would have nowhere to cry.
Now that they had taken down the barrier of Shanhai Pass, they could dispel this worry.
