Pingding Mountain position, the East Column and the 14th Division of the Japanese Army have repeatedly fought for dozens of times. This mountain, which is less than 700 meters above sea level, has become a purgatory on earth.-<  >-./-<  >-./

Pingding Mountain, originally named "Qingyun Mountain" and "Pingding Mountain". As early as 3,000 years ago, humans reproductive and thriving here.

The sister of the red-robed governor of the Tang Dynasty, Gai Suwen, once stationed in the mountains to build a camp and dig "seven water wells". Now four are retained and still water is still coming out.

Pingding Mountain is a place that must be fought for by military strategists, and folk legends even more say "Bing Mountain".

Relying on the ancient city walls of the Yuan Dynasty on the top of the mountain and the military bunkers, tunnels and bunkers left over from the Russo-Japanese War, rebuilt, widening and unblocking, the defense system of the East Column in Pingding Mountain was formed!

The commander of the brigade commander of the 28th Brigade of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army was Major General Hiraga Shinzo.

The offensive troops, including the 15th Regiment, the wing captain Colonel Shigetaro Kawa, the 50th Regiment, and the wing captain Colonel Okahara Kusaki.

There is also the Fourth Squadron of the 20th Regiment of Field Artillery and Captain Tian Dingwen.

As well as some railway garrisons and puppet troops, the total strength was 10,000.

In addition, the attack on the 59th Regiment of the Nantianmen was missing, and the team leader Colonel Miyamura Toshio.

The Fourth Railway Guard Brigade that attacked Lianshan Pass had just replenished its troops and restored its system. The commander was Naozuka Banjin.

The 2nd Brigade guarding Benxi was the 2nd Brigade, and later two regiments of Sun Mingchen and two regiments of Deng Tiemei were added. In this way, nearly eight regiments had a total of about 13,000 people!

However, after twenty-two days of bloody battle, Lei Dong's troops at hand have now dropped to about 8,000!

The Japanese and puppet troops suffered less losses. The 15,000 troops lost only about 3,000 troops, and there were still 12,000 troops left!

This also includes the great victory between Lan Yuhu and Xiao Ge at Lianshan Pass!

If it weren't for that great victory, Lianshan Pass would have been lost and the southeastern gate of Benxi would have been opened.

The door is open. Benxi has no danger to defend, and the East Zong can only retreat one way, so the consequences will be very serious.

After a series of fierce battles, there was a strong and pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and a disgusting smell of blood on the Pingding Mountain position within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

Looking through the grass, you can see blood-stained stones, broken human bones and rotten meat everywhere. In many places, you can still pick up human bones in many years.

Shanzhu was very depressed. But he knew that military orders should not be violated, so he could only handle the handover honestly and report to the female soldier company.

After entering the female soldier company's base, Shanzhu realized that the most terrifying animal in the world was not a tiger, but a woman!

The terrible thing about women is that you will sell yourself wholeheartedly and count the money for the other party. In less than ten minutes, the mountain pillars will be cleaned.

Don’t misunderstand it. It’s not that Shanzhu was stripped naked by this group of women’s soldiers, but that his secret was emptied!

He said everything he should say and what he shouldn’t say, especially his relationship with Lei Dong. He also honestly explained!

Of course, these female tigers knew the right degree and did not ask anything related to military secrets.

After the close contact, the company commander of Shanzhu took office, but he, the company commander, was forced to sign many unequal treaties!

Simply put, except on the battlefield, they must unconditionally obey Shanzhu's orders, Shanzhu must listen to them in other aspects.

If Lei Dong knew that Shanzhu was so backboneless, he would definitely not have sent him there. However, these women were really hard to serve. The sky was not afraid of the earth. If he went to the battlefield, he would probably be as good as the male soldiers!

"On this battlefield, bullets don't have eyes. For the first time you are on the battlefield, remember one thing, you have to listen to the veterans. Simply put, you have to listen to me, otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety!"

The next morning, when the sun rose, Shanzhu gathered the female soldiers. On this day, Lei Dong's task for Shanzhu was to take these girls to observe the actual battle!

Although it is an actual observation, it is still dangerous, so before setting off, he must explain it to these women clearly.

"You all listen to me, orders are prohibited. If anyone is disobedient, don't blame me if you lose your head..."

"This kid Shanzhu is quite like that. He will be very good at speaking one by one!" Sun Mingchen quietly touched Lei Dong with his elbow and said with a wink.

"This is not my training!" Lei Dong said shamelessly.

"Aren't you also trained by President Lu!" Sun Mingchen said with a smile.

"You said, Mr. Lu asked these girls to go to the battlefield, what's the idea?" Su Kun also came over.

"Why, are you all looking at the Western scenery?" Lei Dong said.

"Isn't this the commander-in-chief here, you are here? I'll come and have a look!" Su Kun said with a smile.

"What's going on with the Japanese today?" Lei Dong turned his head and asked.

"We are doing exercises in a line!" Sun Mingchen said.

"What are you doing?" Lei Dong asked strangely.

"God knows, it's a gulp, the commander of the Japanese Major General's Brigade is being scolded, and I can't hear clearly what he said!" Sun Mingchen said.

"Does the Japanese want to launch a general attack?" Su Kun said in surprise.

"Maybe it's true!" Lei Dong clapped his hands, "Go down and study it!"

"Commander-in-chief, you really have the heart to let them go to the position..."

"Go away, this is Decision 1. Can I disobey the order?" Lei Dong had already gotten off the ladder.

"Commander-in-chief, the headquarters call, the 3rd Agricultural Reclamation Division and the 4th Division have already gone south overnight. They are here to support us!"

"Oh, is this true?" Lei Dong was happy when he heard this.

"Yes, it was a telegram sent by the General Staff!"

"Well, I understand!" Lei Dong took the message and looked at it, "You will call the group level and above officers, and I will hold a meeting."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

"Commander-in-chief, let's have the meal. Only after you have enough food can you have the strength to command the war!" The chef squad leader walked in with the food.

"Old He, let it go first, I'll eat it later!" Lei Dong said.

"Okay, I'll come back later!" Lao He said.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Commander-in-chief, the artillery brigade has completed the training. Please issue combat missions!" He Shili, dressed in military uniform, stood behind Lei Dong and respectfully saluted.

"Okay, Brigade Commander He, you're here just in time. The Japanese are likely to launch a general attack. How are your forty rapid-fire cannons trained? Can you enter the battlefield?" Lei Dong hurriedly replied with a military salute.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, yes!" He Shili said loudly.

"Okay, we may not have the ability to destroy the 14th Division, but we can still do it to severely damage the 14th Division. It depends on your artillery!" Lei Dong said.

"Please rest assured by the commander-in-chief!"

"Benxi and Fushun are the places that the Japanese army must seize. If our army is forcibly occupied, the Japanese army will continue to increase its troops, which is quite unfavorable to the future of the Eastern Zong. So I plan to give up Benxi and Fushun. Of course, even if we want to give up Benxi and Fushun, we will move away all the things that should be moved!" Lei Dong said.

"Why give up Benxi?" He Shili asked in confusion.

"Where is Benxi and where is Fushun? If we occupy these two places, the Japanese will definitely be unable to sleep or eat, and continue to increase troops from the country, and must take down these two places. Why? Because these two places have steel and coal. They are resources that the Japanese urgently need!" Lei Dong explained.

"Are these resources our own?" He Shili said.

"Yes, these resources are all ours. If I give them to them for nothing, I wouldn't want to do so. But what is our goal?" Lei Dong asked.

"Punish the Japanese out of China!" He Shili said.

"No, just driving out of China is not enough. Japan is an island country with scarce resources and relies heavily on others. Do you think such a country would be willing to be held in its own life?" Lei Dong asked.

"Of course I don't want to do this!"

"So Japan will inevitably expand externally. There are resources there, and that is the direction of their expansion!" Lei Dong said, "When we fight them here to death, it is equivalent to dragging their efforts to expand externally!"

"Commander-in-chief, I don't quite understand why I did this. Benxi and Fushun are our territory!"

"Now Japan's strategic focus is on Manchuria, which means that their goal is to build Manchuria into their resource base and use Manchuria's resources to expand its military and prepare for war. Their goal is not only Manchuria, but also the entire China, and even Southeast Asian countries!" Lei Dong explained.

"Japan has such a great ambition?" He Shili said in surprise.

"Haha, the snake swallows elephant inadequately. The greater the ambition of the Japanese, the easier it is to be crazy. If he is not crazy, how can we completely destroy him?" Lei Dong sneered, "We cannot defend Benxi and Fushun. Even if we defeat the 14th Division, they can transfer one division, two divisions, or even more divisions from the country. At that time, we will face an endless war of attrition. We are surrounded by enemies on all sides and cannot afford to consume without our own industrial foundation!"

"And, once Japan is unable to launch an external invasion, it will inevitably try its best to protect Manchuria. In this case, Manchuria is likely to be completely divided from China's territory!" Lei Dong even put forward a horrifying point.

"This..." A layer of sweat blew out from He Shili's forehead. Although it was difficult for him to judge whether Lei Dong's words were correct for a while, if it was true, it would be terrible.

"Then we really can't protect Benxi?" He Shili was still a little unwilling.

"Brig Commander He, Benxi is just temporarily putting it in the hands of the Japanese. How much they eat, how much they will spit out in the future, and ten times more than a hundred times. Do you really think that the things we Chinese are easy to swallow?" Lei Dong said, "The most important thing now is that we need a base to develop our military industry and economy. With these, we have the capital to continue fighting with the Japanese. Once we fall into endless hard battles, where can we get the energy to develop these?"

"Commander-in-chief, I understand!" He Shili nodded.

"However, even if the Japanese want to get Benxi, they have to pay a little price. There is nothing to eat in the world!" Lei Dong sneered, "Only by hitting the Japanese, they will not attack us rashly!"

Lu Shan’s strategy is to protect the core base, fight a war, fight a stalemate for a period of time, fight another war, and fight another stalemate. In this way, the situation will reverse after three to five years. (To be continued.
