Chapter 366 Rivalry gathers

360 Highland is a small hill in Tonghua County. At an altitude of 360 meters, it is called the 360 Highlands, and this kind of hill is extremely inconspicuous in the Tonghua area, and cannot be compared with the peaks in the Changbai Mountains.

But the hill was on the side of a major road that covered the entire road, and if a force was stationed on it, it would be difficult for the enemy to pass through.

Now the mountain has been identified as the place where the morning glory tactics terminate. Here, the Northeast Army had to engage in a positional battle with the enemy, stop the momentum of the enemy's offensive, and then prepare for a counteroffensive. Limited to the size of the hill, the second brigade of the Northeast Army is responsible for garrisoning this junior. As the sharpest unit in the Southeast Region, the Second Brigade of this most arduous war was naturally the best to do. At the same time, the difficulties of this battle have been communicated to the 2nd Brigade. Wang Zhidao, the commander of the Second Brigade, accepted this battle without hesitation. Of course, the important main positions were replaced by the 2nd Brigade and 2nd Regiment. The first regiment fought the first battle of the Northeast and the Rì Ben, and lost more than half of the troops. Although it has been replenished now, it will take a certain amount of time to return to the original battle, after all, the recruits who have just joined the battle, even if they are trained in Jīng Rui and have no actual combat experience, their combat effectiveness will always be affected.

The combat effectiveness of the unit has always been mainly based on the number of veterans in the first regiment, the original regiment, there are many veterans, as the fist unit of the second brigade and even the entire Southeast Military Region, the level of veterans of the first regiment can be said to be the highest. The first regiment is the starting unit of the Southeast Military Region. It's a pity that at the beginning of the war, in the face of the repeated attacks of the two jīng sharp teams, even with the sharp level of one group, it was a heavy loss. At present, there are less than half of the veterans, and there are still hundreds of wounded who are being treated in the military hospital, and it is still unknown whether they can fully recover and return to the team!

As the final battle of the morning glory tactics, it is natural to choose the most sharp troops. The first regiment did not work, and the second regiment, which had the same tradition, was pushed out and took on the main attack of the enemy.

The advance of the Rì Army was unexpectedly fast, and as soon as the Northeast Army had completed its position, the Rì Army had already reached a place five miles away. The resolute resistance that the Northeast Army began was indeed a great surprise to the top brass of the Rì Army. In particular, the combat effectiveness and firepower level shown by the Northeast Army, the two Jīng Ruilian units of the third division, the veteran division of the main army, attacked in turn, and were unable to take the position of one regiment of the Zhina Army. It's simply unthinkable. After all, even the German ** team, known as the world's first, was defeated by the Rìben army in the Battle of Qingdao. Such a local army in the Northeast that has just debuted, in the eyes of the top brass of the army, should be the kind of extremely backward old-style army, as soon as the Great Imperial Army fights, they will surrender in panic and admit defeat, and then cede the land and pay compensation, and then the Great Empire can take what the Northeast wants.

After the attack began, the běi jīngzhèng fǔ protested to the rì本zhèng fǔ in a righteous manner, demanding that the rì本zhèng fǔ withdraw the troops that had illegally invaded the territory of China, otherwise China would deal a complete blow to the rìben army that had entered the territory of China.

For the threat of běi jīngzhèng fǔ, rì本zhèng fǔ sneered to nose. The foreign press also gloated with ridicule. After all, one of the two sides is the newly established zhèng fǔ, and the other is the powerful zhèng fǔ that is recognized by the world. There is no comparison between the two sides at all. The German Emperor even issued a statement that the German Emperor henceforth was the righteous position of the Chinese Emperor to encircle sovereignty. This statement has made the direction of the world more and more confusing.

rì Ben Front Command. Surprisingly, it was the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Brigade that arrived here first. It's really not that they don't get together. Major General Kanaya Van San, commander of the 6th Brigade, was greatly excited when he learned that the Northeast Army had established a blocking position on the 360 heights. You must know that the 6th Brigade and the 2nd Northeast Brigade have already settled a life-and-death relationship because of the contest in the first battle of the war. The fact that the two wings of the Sixth Brigade took turns attacking the positions of one regiment of the Second Brigade of the Northeast Army more than five times and could not take it was simply unimaginable before the start of the war. This also cast a stain on Major General Kanaya's record that could not be washed away. Major General Kanaya once swore that the dignity lost on the battlefield would be regained on the battlefield. In his capacity, of course, he would not regard the Second Brigade and the First Regiment as an opponent, and the Second Brigade in the Northeast became his target. Unfortunately, after the Northeast Army implemented the Morning Glory tactics, the resistance of the Northeast Army decreased a lot, and it was usually withdrawn as soon as it was called, leading the Rì Army towards the deep mountains and old forests. Lin Haixueyuan's trek was extremely laborious, and although the combat effectiveness of the army was still maintained because there were no major defeats and losses, the physical fitness and sharpness of the soldiers were inevitably affected. Now I see that the Northeast Army has finally put on a posture to respond to the battle. Major General Kanaya is gearing up and preparing to make a big deal and use the flag of the Second Brigade of the Northeast Army to redeem his lost reputation.

"Is the enemy's number confirmed? Is it a regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the Chinese Army? Major General Kanaya asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, according to the report of the reconnaissance squadron, the second regiment of the second brigade of the Chinese army is stationed on the high ground opposite, and the first regiment is on the flank."

"Second regiment? Yo West! It seems that the 1st Regiment of the Shina Army suffered heavy losses in the previous battle! However, it can resist the attack of the two wings of the Great Rì Imperial Army, even if it is lost, it is a light concession. Pass my orders. The Honda Wing was ordered to attack the frontal position. The Fujino Wing was ordered to attack the positions of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the Enemy China Army on the flank. Major General Kanaya said with squinted eyes.

According to his intelligence. As long as you pass the mountain in front of you, you will enter Tonghua County in the northeast. There was an astonishing amount of grain and forage, which was the first goal of the 3rd Division. After all, a large part of the military supplies came from within the country. Shipping not only increases the cost, but also limits the quantity and scale. Although the army annexed Korea, the army still needed to suppress the uprisings in various parts of Korea from time to time and maintain a certain amount of armaments at all times, which made the war supplies provided by the Korean mainland much more limited. The DPRK army has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the pressure on the baggage can be imagined. Moreover, after the start of the war, although the Northeast Army has been retreating, it has also managed to block the attack step by step, constantly consuming the enemy's strength. This makes the consumption of ammunition extremely serious. After all, the battle between Tohoku and Rìben has reached the scale of a world-class firepower competition. The Northeast is a local operation, and the logistics are guaranteed, but although there is a North Korean advance base, it does not have much material storage because of the urgency of the war. This led to the command of the Korean Army issuing an order to feed the war with war, hoping to obtain grain and baggage from the northeast. It is necessary to reduce the logistical supply of food and other materials as much as possible to ensure an adequate supply of weapons and ammunition.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, Your Excellency the Division Commander telegram." Officers of the Intelligence Section report urgently. Because the headquarters of the 6th Brigade had just been established, the telephone line with the division headquarters had not yet been erected, and now it could only be communicated by telegraph.

"Quickly set up telephone lines, and ensure the smooth flow of information between the brigade headquarters and the division headquarters in the shortest possible time!" Major General Kanaya Fansan said in a deep voice. From the posture of the Northeast Army, Major General Kanaya sensed that the Northeast seemed to intend to fight Rìmoto on this land. And although he is confident in the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, he does not dare to underestimate the army in the northeast, you know. Since the beginning of the war, the contact between the Rì army and the Northeast Army has not been once or twice, and the command of the North Korean Army has also set up a bureau to eat the Northeast Army, but unfortunately, the Northeast Army discovered its intentions in advance, and the lured Shina troops not only broke out of the encirclement, but also inflicted heavy losses on the troops in the pocket. This is a disgrace to the imperial army, and they naturally will not make a big deal about it.

Since the beginning of the war, the Rì Army has not eliminated a single formed Northeast Army soldier and has not captured a single flag of the Northeast Army. This greatly annoyed the North Korean military command, and the telegrams of the front-line commanders were much harsher. Now it's hard for the Northeast Army to resist the Imperial Army. Of course, Major General Kanaya Van San must grasp it well and strive to take out the ace of the second brigade of the opposite branch of the Chinese army. Capture the opponent's flag and add weight to your own star.

360 Highland Flanks. The position of the 2nd Brigade and 1st Regiment.

"Regiment commander, I just received a call from the brigade headquarters. The rì devil on the opposite side turned out to be our old opponent, the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Rì Army. Looks like this battle is going to be a chore again! The political commissar of the regiment said with an ugly face. Although they had the upper hand in the first battle with Rìmoto's army, they themselves suffered heavy losses. Looking at the familiar faces in the team, which had been reduced by half, the regimental leaders of the regiment felt a faint pain in their hearts. The troops of the Southeast Military Region are somewhat different from those of other military regions; since its establishment, the Southeast Military Region has always been for the purpose of preparing for the army, and although the army has the best level of exercises and training and has participated in many actual battles, it is also the first time that such a difficult positional war has been experienced. It can be said that the top echelons of the Northeast Army are extremely satisfied with the combat effectiveness displayed by the troops of the Southeast Military Region in the war.

"Not necessarily! We keep retreating, and the little rì is advancing in this section. Didn't you notice that the level of firepower of their heavy weapons dropped a lot? Rì's own heart is already a little lax! If you look at the station again, it is unknown whether Rì would have wanted to start concentrating on such powerful firepower! The old rival is coming! It's a pity that we can't sing the leading role! The head of the regiment could not hide the disappointment in his heart.

"Don't be disappointed, Commander! If the second regiment can't work, we will have to go sooner or later! Although the level of veterans in our regiment has dropped a lot, a regiment is a regiment, as long as you are still there, the commander of the regiment, and the old brothers in the regiment are still there, a regiment is a regiment that cannot be defeated or dragged down. The chief of staff of the regiment said.

"Haha! Lao Huang said this well! The Second Regiment is our brother unit, and whoever fights the little devils will not fight. Let's guard the flanks for the second regiment with peace of mind. Besides. Let's set up the battlefield, how can the little devil deal with the battle! It's hard to know that the devils will treat us as soft persimmons and the flanks as the main attack location! The head of the regiment said with a smile.
