There was no secret to Dong Ku's march, and the roads were full of tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, infantry vehicles, and most of the half-chain rail transport vehicles, as well as thousands of helicopters in the sky. And Dong Ku didn't plan to hide it from anyone.

He hurried with his head down, and the journey was very smooth, but there was an irrepressible panic here in the Japanese.

The Japanese left lurkers along the way in order to understand the enemy's movements. The reason they hurried was because they feared that the advance army would come when they did not gain a foothold.

At this time, although the negotiations between the DPRK were terminated, the two sides were relatively peaceful, but they knew that the advance army would report on it, and it was impossible to stop the idea of eradicating the elite in Shanxi. After all, the focus of the negotiations is on North Korea, not on China's domestic elite.

And the advance army's march with great fanfare is undoubtedly a declaration to the world that they are going to make a move.

After receiving the report of the lurking personnel in Baotou, the top of the Japanese army was nervous, and even panicked. They knew that the advance army would not stop, and it was destined to rush to Tibet and eliminate the elite there.

As a result, radio waves flew in the sky, and he quickly contacted Hideki Tojo, who had recruited more than 100,000 Tibetan armed forces, and asked him to prepare for the advance army.

Of course, Hideki Tojo would not be restrained, and he recruited the Tibetan armed forces to take advantage of the Tibetan people's advantages in the terrain and environment and did not come to the advance army.

In the headquarters, Hideki Tojo pointed to the map of the Tibetan area, which was almost complete, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, our first goal has been accomplished, and the enemy is preparing to attack. We're under a lot of pressure. ”

Although Okamura Ninji did not become the commander in control of this elite army, he did not have any resistance, he knew very well that the so-called high pressure was not empty words, and it was not good to get it right. I'm going to bury myself here. It's not so much about giving advice as it is about self-preservation.

So, after Tojo Hideki's voice fell, he took the lead in standing up and said: "The number of our troops is enough, and those Tibetans can also go to the front line after a month's training and use the mountains to block the enemy." However, because the conditions here are really backward, we have to build everything, and I am afraid that we will not be able to produce ammunition in three or two months. We have to prepare for the worst garlic and face the brutal battle. ”

His voice fell, and Seishiro Itagaki took over and said, "Well, Lieutenant General Gangcun is right, our situation is worrying, I don't know if Your Excellency Gangmura has any good way to survive this period of lack of ammunition." ”

Everyone knew the grim fact that their ammunition was used less, and it didn't take long. After all, there is no logistical supply. So, after Okamura Ninji spoke. All eyes turned to him to see what strategy he had.

Seeing that his eyes were focused, Gangcun Ningji groaned and said, "I think that we are resistant to the dangerous environment, and our soldiers are physically unable to run vigorously, and the oxygen here is thin. Since our soldiers can't bear it, the advance army will do the same, so my plan is to set up layers of blocking positions starting 200 kilometers east of Naqu. The scale of the position is not too large, use the mountain, cut out the cave that can only accommodate a dozen people, hide well, the terrain is selected to stand in a position that is not conducive to the defense of the attack, store food and water, as well as heating items, and stay inside for a month. After that, it is the position that really needs to be defended. Taking advantage of the Tibetan people's familiarity with the mountainous terrain, these places have built positions layer by layer, and without heavy artillery, the artillery superiority of the advance army will not play a role, and it will be quite advantageous for our defense. ”

"In this way, it is not a big problem to hold on to the production of weapons and ammunition, and our artillery is a nightmare for the advance army, after all, their delivery will not be meticulous by us, and our mountain artillery and field artillery are enough to build an impenetrable defensive line."

"Then you mean that the scattered and disconnected caves ahead don't attack even if the enemy passes by, but just shoot inside?"

A division commander asked suspiciously.

"Yes."

Okamura Ninji smiled sinisterly: "These nails are enough to give the enemy a headache, it will take time to clear them all, let them go, they don't dare to leave their backs to those caves, the mountains are high and steep, and it will definitely be troublesome to clean up." ”

There was a chill in the hearts of everyone present. They all understood that Okamura Ninji was using death squads, wedged like nails on the peaks of the mountain beams along the way, so that the enemy spent a lot of energy to clear it.

However, this is a feasible plan, at least it effectively slows down the enemy's advance, and when they clear the hundreds of kilometers along the way, there will be a hard-fought positional battle, in this place where oxygen is thin, the battle is not as fast as imagined, and it will drag on for a long time, until the opponent can not afford to drag it, in that case, they will stand still.

Everyone thinks this plan is feasible, and on this basis, some details are refined. But the purpose is that these caves are not connected to each other, and they fight independently, so as to prevent the enemy from breaching other nodes along the caves.

The plan was quickly adopted at the meeting, and after the meeting, the Japanese army began to move when the advance army crossed Baotou and advanced towards Lanzhou.

Dong Ku didn't know the movements of the enemies, and it was impossible for the Huya warriors to hear the contents of these meetings. After arriving in Xining, he began to arrange acclimatization training.

The soldiers who went to the plateau for the first time realized how bad their bodies were, and the better their physical strength, the easier it was to get bored, a strange phenomenon that puzzled everyone, but they still strictly followed the adaptation training and began to advance from the north side and slowly advanced towards Qinghai Lake.

Along the way, walk more than ten kilometers to rest, keep warm, drink hot porridge, strictly prohibit smoking, strictly prohibit drinking, do not run, one by one like the old man and old lady to visit the park, a day can not even walk 20 kilometers.

Here, those managers are out of reach, and they have no political axes, but they can't do political axes. The people here are fierce, Han and Tibetan, as well as Mongolian, Kazakh, and Uyghur people. But in front of the army that covered the mountains, all the dissatisfaction and thoughts were held in the stomach.

There is a little bit of peace in the hearts of these people, although the Japanese army did not come to Xining some time ago, and also went to Qinghai Lake, but Lanzhou is full of corpses in the direction of Yushu, ten rooms and nine empty. Those who were of any nationality, as long as they were young people, were all arrested by the Japanese army as laborers. The older ones were all executed after the army left the country. Things, naturally, were all taken away by the army.

And the advance army, all the way to the autumn did not commit any crimes, although the language barrier, but these people are kind and do not speak, the most important thing is that they are Han.

When Dong Ku's army marched towards Qinghai Lake, he slowly came into contact with some local people who could speak Chinese, or who were originally Han Chinese, and acted as a guide to lead the way for the army and solve some problems that the advance army could not come forward and was not easy to solve.

However, even without a guide, it is not easy for the army to have friction without entering the villages and towns, so they are almost at Qinghai Lake, and there is no trouble.

In Xining, all the machinery was given to the troops to stay in place, and camps were built in the field, and while slowly adapting to the plateau, they cleared the location of the helicopters and built an improvised airfield.

Here, there is no need to level the land, the helicopter lands in a frozen place, there is no problem at all, as for the weeds, trees, and snow that you have to love.

Groups of planes landed here, and then, after a short period of acclimatization, the transport planes began to return to Mongolia in batches to prepare supplies for the place.

Dong Ku would not let the soldiers attack the mountains with grenades and bullets, so that even if there were sniper rifles and heavy snipers, they would still suffer heavy casualties.

Although the bazooka modified bazooka can attack fortified positions, the firing range is too short, and it will not play a big role in the face of three or four hundred meters, five or six hundred meters, mountain peaks.

At the same time, Yu Lei led three divisions to Yushu. In their slow march, they marched lightly, except for the necessary rations and four grenades per person, five hundred rounds of ammunition, not even hand grenades, only semi-automatic and a barge gun, so to speak, really lightly armed.

Their task was to construct a second airfield in Yushu. Let Xining be the first stop, and Yushu the last stop of the attack on Lhasa.

Dong Ku wanted to let the Japanese army know that the roof of the world was not incapable of flying due to the high cold and complex air currents, and that it was complicated and the fuselage was iced and could not be overcome. He had already prepared a gift for the Japanese army, a gift that was unimaginable to the Japanese army, and that was an air raid.

It is important to know that the flight route of the Himalayas in the Hengduan Mountains during World War II, that is, the Hump Route, but the inability to de-ice led to the crash of 16 planes, and it was only later that this problem was solved in the study, allowing the route to be unblocked.

Aircraft de-icing, carrying oxygen, the latest electric heating suit in the winter of last year Dong Ku has completed this research and equipped helicopters, long-range bombers. At the same time, there is a group of helicopters specially adapted to fly in this environment. That's why there are two airports. In Xining, all planes can be docked, but Yushu's average altitude of 5,000 meters is not something that all helicopters can get close to.

Just when the soldiers more or less had altitude sickness and the troops went all out to treat them, three days after Dong Ku arrived at Qinghai Lake, finally, the Huya team members came with the news.

Dong Ku couldn't help frowning as he looked at the message. The Japanese army was trying to create a posture full of positions. According to Huya's report, the Japanese army hung down the steep position in the middle of the mountain peak with ropes, blew it up with explosives to cover it, and slowly cut at Shandong, apparently setting up a defensive position.

Rushing to Lhasa, in a month's time, Dong Ku's speed is not needed, but it is about the same, at least to get to Nagqu, twenty days is necessary. At this time, the Japanese positions were also completed. When they get there, it's going to be an uphill battle. (To be continued......)
