Things are about the same as Liu Lang expected.

The first battle was lost, but all the imperial warriors of the 20th Infantry Wing, entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor and the commanders of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, still bravely killed the enemy, routed the enemy army, captured the Huanghuachuan Lotus Mountain area, and successfully forced the remnants of the Chinese Peasant Army into the mountains to report to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

The Kwantung Army Headquarters was not stupid, through the Rehe garrison and Sun Yongqin's troops fought several times, they had long doubts about the pure Japanese equipment in the hands of the Chinese peasant army, and through the capture of the 20th Infantry Wing, they checked the number and finally determined that all the guns in the hands of the Chinese peasant rebels were in the baggage warehouse of the Eighth Division that was attacked by Liu Lang's Independent Regiment two years ago.

As soon as he thought that this peasant army was still involved with the biggest enemy of the empire during the Battle of the Great Wall, Okamura Ningji, who was not lightly attacked by Liu Lang, had green tendons jumping on his head. It was not enough for Liu Fatzi of Baga to bring disaster to the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army in the First World War, and he even quietly handed the knife behind the back of the Kwantung Army.

This peasant rebel army in Rehe must be eliminated. With an indescribable hatred for Liu Lang, Okamura Ninji issued a military order to continue to pursue the "remnants" of the Rehe Peasant Army to the end.

Moreover, in the face of the determination of His Royal Highness Prince Minoru Higashikuremiya, who was the commander of the Fourth Division at the time, to avenge the more than 300 imperial warriors who died in the Fourth Division, the treacherous and cunning chief of staff of the Kwantung Army had no doubts at all. The Battle of the Fourth Division at Lotus Mountain had already proved to the Kwantung Army that they were not a wreck, they were one of the seventeen permanent divisions of the Empire, and they were the true elite of the Great Japanese Empire. It is normal to pay tribute to the blood of the Chinese peasant rebels to their sacrificed warriors and prove their bravery.

Therefore, in view of the much outstanding performance of the 20th Infantry Wing of the 4th Division in Rehe compared to the 1st Mixed Brigade and their determination to fight to the end for the Empire, after urgent consultations at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, it was decided to establish a new Rehe garrison with the 20th Infantry Wing of the 4th Division as the mainstay.

The 1st Mixed Brigade led by Major General Fujita Jin, who had been stationed in Rehe to suppress bandits, was not effective in suppressing bandits, and except for one infantry wing that remained stationed in the north of Rehe, which bordered Liaoning, to assist the 20th Infantry Wing of the 4th Division in maintaining local law and order, the rest of the units were relocated to Liaoning to assist the local garrison in exterminating the Chinese resistance in Liaoning.

In other words, the 20th Infantry Wing led by Nagumo Zaoji became the garrison of Rehe Province from the day the military order of the Kwantung Army Headquarters was issued, and the 1st Mixed Brigade, which had long been disliked by the Kwantung Army Command, was transferred to the garrison in Liaoning because it continued to be harassed by Sun Yongqin and Deng Wen's Department and suffered more and more losses.

The reason why they still have a wing in the northern mountains of Rehe is to save some face for Major General Fujita Susuru; Second, the strength of the 20th Infantry Wing is only more than 3,000 people, which is slightly insufficient. But if a brigade of the Fourth Division is stationed here, nearly 8,000 people are a bit wasteful, but the 100,000 square kilometers of Rehe does not need so many garrisons at all. Then leave an infantry wing of the 1st Mixed Brigade to fight soy sauce in the Rehe Mountains, after all, they still need to guarantee the logistics materials transported from the northeast.

Of course, whether it was the combat exploits of the 20th Infantry Wing that played a role in being able to become the Rehe garrison, or the title of the commander of the 4th Division, who was noble as His Royal Highness the Prince, was more important, this can only be clear in the hearts of the generals and lieutenant generals of the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

Anyway, it goes without saying that the cunning Okamura Ninji can be a certain general who is the head of an army, if there is no water in his eyes, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit in that position in his life. In the army, if you want to have a prominent position, in addition to strategy and military achievements, you must also have connections, and this phenomenon is by no means unique to the national army.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and in a certain island country, it will not be an exception.

After receiving Xia Wenyun's secret telegram and the news that the 20th Infantry Wing would become the Rehe garrison, Liu Lang's heart finally put it in his stomach. If nothing else, Sun Yongqin's life has been much better in the past two years, not only will new Japanese-style weapons be delivered every month, but there will also be no shortage of canned meat and white rice noodles, anyway, the 20th Infantry Wing will eat whatever they eat.

At this point, although there is no black and white letter, Liu Lang believes that under the temptation of a huge profit of 1.5 million yen per month, Nagumo Zaoji will not do anything to break his arm.

Of course, Sun Yongqin's ministry did not say that they would stay in the mountains and farm from now on, they still had a lot to do. With more weapons, they can continue to recruit troops and horses, and at the same time, use the continuous mountains of Rehe as a barrier to build a more complete defense system, which must be prepared to deal with a larger Japanese invasion in the future.

Two or three years later, as a result of their continued use of the cover of the mountains to inflict unrestricted strikes on the long logistical lines of the Japanese army that had invaded China, they would inevitably encounter a siege by a Japanese army far beyond the current scale. They must build a more complete defense system in this hundred-mile mountain in order to survive the more brutal battle more than two years later.

At the same time, they must continue to train their troops and continue to fight against the Japanese invaders. The 20th Infantry Wing is now a partner, and it's not good to keep shooting them, but what about an infantry wing of the 1st Mixed Brigade stationed in the mountains north of Rehe? This old friend has done a lot of angry things in Rehe, and most of the military operations have targeted them.

Besides, there is also a local garrison in Liaoning bordering Rehe? As long as you want to fight, there are many little devils.

As for the strange phenomenon of why the 20th Infantry Wing and the Chinese Peasant Army fighters still active in the mountains suffered so few losses, Liu Lang believes that "Doraemon" will have his own explanation. That goods, at first glance, are not good birds.

"The reason why we suffered few losses was because our Fourth Division was so prestigious that the remnants of the Chinese peasant resistance army fled as soon as they heard about it, and they didn't even dare to go out of the mountains. As for the frequent sneak attacks of the idiots of the 1st Mixed Brigade, do you need to say why? There is an old saying in the Chinese: persimmons have to be picked up and pinched. In the face of the accusations of the First Mixed Brigade, Nagumo Zaoji proudly threw out a sentence that almost didn't suffocate the First Mixed Brigade up and down.

However, there is nothing to be done. Even the Kwantung Army Command was too. Nanyun Zao Erdazuo said that there is nothing wrong with it! Since they were stationed in Rehe, the location of their garrison was rarely visited by the Chinese peasant rebels, except for the loss of a lot of weapons and food due to the invasion of the mountains, their personnel losses were not large, and they could be called a model for the empire.

That is, the 1st Mixed Brigade was unlucky, and the Chinese peasant rebels knocked a stick on their group from time to time, and the loss of personnel and materials was no less than when they were fully stationed in Rehe. The 20th Infantry Wing of the People's Republic of China did not suffer from the heavy baggage that passed through their jurisdiction, and it was already very generous to sue them.

Could it be that the Chinese are persimmons picking up soft pinching?

Eventually, even the top and bottom of the 1st Mixed Brigade began to believe in this reason.

Of course, that's all for later.

Liu Lang, who had finished handling Rehe's affairs, left Sun Yongqin's department and returned to Qinglong Mountain half a month later. The special sulfonamide tablets supplied to the Fourth Division every month will be transported from Beiping to Qinglongshan, and then sent by Qinglongshan to the designated joint location, but 10,000 tablets are enough for one person and one horse.

However, this time Liu Lang is not alone, three Cai Dadao and other three people who have been in Rehe for almost two years will return to the independent regiment with him, and two special forces who came back from the northeast to report the news and Zeng Shui and the second cargo man will replace the three of them to stay in Rehe.

Not only did the four of them become instructors of Sun Yongqin's department, but they also had to continue to survive on the brutal battlefield against the Japanese until they returned to the Independent Regiment at the end of the year.

After going through 1935 and entering 1936, it will be a year of re-equipment warfare for all members of the independent regiment.
