    Gaizhou is an ancient city located on the east coast of Liaodong Bay of the Bohai Sea. It is surrounded by mountains and sea and is rich in products. It is an important post station from Fengtian to Lushun.  [./The first text of Gaizhou was originally Gaiping County, which was established in the third year of Emperor Kangxi¡¯s reign in the Qing Dynasty when it was changed to Gaizhou Wei in the Ming Dynasty.  According to historical records, Pingguo County was established in Gaizhou during the Han Dynasty.  Gaizhou was established in the Jin, Yuan and Ming dynasties.  The name "Gaiping" is derived from the first characters of two historical place names, "Gaizhou" and "Pingguo".

    The geographical location of Gaizhou is very important, because there are mostly low mountains and hills in the territory. To the north is the territory of the Republic of China, and to the south is the hinterland of the so-called "Kandong State" that was occupied by Japan. From a strategic point of view, if the Japanese can tightly  By holding Gaizhou, the main force of the First Army of the National Defense Force can be blocked to the north of Guandong Prefecture. If the Republic of China takes control of this place, it can march straight into the Liaodong Peninsula.

    Since ancient times, Gaizhou has been a battleground for military strategists.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it revolved around the control of Gaizhou.  The Ming army and the Qing army had a fierce tug-of-war in this area. After the Qing army took control of Gaizhou, the Ming army completely lost control of the Liaodong Peninsula and was unable to form a double corner to contain the Qing army in the Spice West.  The area was attacked. After the Eight Banners entered the customs, they paid special attention to Gaizhou. They stationed heavy troops here, and the Shengjing garrison general was directly responsible for the defense of the Gaizhou area. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, a war also broke out in the Gaizhou area. When the Qing army completely  Withdrawing from Gaizhou in the second half also meant the complete loss of the Liaodong Peninsula. As expected, in the future, after the Qing government gathered the remaining defeated troops, they could only concentrate on the Jinzhou area, barely preventing the Japanese army from invading Shanhaiguan through the western Liaoning Corridor and peeking into the Beijing-Tianjin area.

    After Japan took control of the Gaizhou area, it initially did not attach great importance to the military importance of this area out of disdain for the Qing Dynasty's military power. It only stationed an infantry brigade here and had several mountain cannons to deter the Qing Dynasty.

    After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, we faced the chaos in Northeast China.  The then Governor of Kanto, Oshima Yoshimasa, sensed an opportunity to interfere in the Northeastern affairs of the Republic of China, so he increased the military strength stationed in Gaizhou to two infantry brigades, and then added a machine gun team and an artillery team to look northward at the Northeastern region.

    After Li Han took over the central government in 1914, the Republic of China began to establish the Northeast Military Region. Hundreds of thousands of troops were on standby, and they looked warily at the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, which were separated by Japan.

    Oshima Yoshimasa has always advocated preemptive tactics. Although he did not believe in the Republic of China and took the initiative to challenge the majesty of the Japanese Empire, he still ordered the Gaizhou military strength to be increased to an infantry regiment, and he also increased the local artillery and machine guns to  42 doors and 19 doors.

    Li Han had listed Japan as the enemy of the Republic of China many years ago, so he was naturally wary of and plotting against the Japanese from beginning to end.  He has long seen that the strategic position of the Gaizhou region is extremely important.  A field airport was built hundreds of miles away on the opposite side, which could be disguised as a military camp when free. Once the war broke out, once the tents and wooden buildings were knocked down, a large-scale field airport could be quickly cleared.  In this way, once the war against Japan breaks out, the Army aviation aircraft of the Republic of China can cross the front line at any time and launch a stormy attack on Gaizhou and other heavily defended Japanese fortresses.

    At the end of April, the sunshine in the Kanto region has begun to bring warmth, and a panting army is walking among the mountains and hills.  Everyone in the team was panting, and big beads of sweat kept falling from their foreheads. Almost everyone in the team leader's room was dripping with sweat, especially the soldiers who carried mortars and machine guns weighing dozens of kilograms on their shoulders.  , I was so tired that I was out of breath and couldn't get up even if I wanted to.  It can be seen from the faces of many soldiers that they have been on the road for a long time. In fact, this is indeed the case. If you take it seriously, they have actually marched seventy miles in a hurry.

    "Hurry! Hurry! Everyone, keep up! Everyone, keep up!"

    Guo Zian stood waving his whip and urging the soldiers to speed up. Like the soldiers, although he was riding a horse, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

    This is the edge of the hilly area in the northeast of Gaizhou, very close to Gaizhou.  Guo Zian's regiment was the "attacking regiment" in this attack. The task given to them by their superiors was to clear all the obstacles on the road to Gaizhou before the main force arrived, and to act as a fire reconnaissance force in order to  Test the strength of the Japanese Toyohashi 18th Infantry Regiment stationed in Gaizhou opposite.

    After the undeclared war against the Japanese garrison on the Liaodong Peninsula started this morning, Guo Zian and his regiment quickly entered the battle, but they did not experience a few battles, which was indeed the case.  The Republic of China concentrated more than 200 aircraft in the Northeast to bomb the Liaodong Peninsula indiscriminately. There were more than a hundred aircraft concentrated in their north alone. Thanks to the efforts of the warriors of the Army Aviation.  The unsuspecting Japanese on the front line almost met with a heavy blow, and their storming troops, which gathered tens of thousands of superior troops, captured many front-line positions in Jinzhou.

    And Guo Zian and his regiment were assigned the task at that time. Their superiors ordered them to forcefully march towards Gaizhou, trying their best to clear some obstacles for the main force behind them as soon as possible.

      Guo Zian and the others are not fighting alone. About thirty miles behind them, the main force of their 167th Brigade is marching, and further back, there are more main forces.  In total, on their front line alone, the main force in attacking Japan had an infantry division, which was quite powerful.

    After more than 70 consecutive miles of forced march without rest, Guo Zian's "attack group" already had 20 or 30 soldiers left behind. But even so, the troops could not stop advancing. They were racing for time now, 167  Brigade commander Zhang Lin received an order from above, which was to "race against time, race against the Japanese, and tear apart the Jinzhou defense line before the Japanese could react. Within three days, the entire army would join forces in Dalian and Lushun to destroy the enemy."  to destroy the Japanese army in the Liaodong Peninsula."

    After Zhang Lin received the order from his superiors, he solemnly handed it over to the ministers below.  Now everyone knows what kind of mission they shoulder. What they shoulder is the trust of the country and the entire Chinese nation. What they do is to regain the country, re-step on the bloody road that their ancestors once retreated in embarrassment, and fight back.  Liaodong Peninsula, driving away the Japanese invaders who occupied the territory of the Republic of China.

    A kind of suppressed excitement and anger allowed the soldiers to overcome all the discomforts caused by the rapid march. They were willing to fight and sacrifice for the great cause of the reunification of the motherland and for the Chinese nation to defeat Japan and stand firm among the world's powerful countries again.  I also care about some fatigue and physical tiredness.

    Guo Zian is not sure where he is standing now. Although he has a military map in his hand, the map only vaguely calls this hilly area "Niangziling". It is said that this name is still the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War.  The name marked on a Manchu military map before the war.  This place has been occupied by Tsarist Russia and Japan in the past few decades. He doesn't know what it is called now.  Anyway, the area assigned to him is still called Niangziling.

    Although some tanks were allocated to the First Army, the unique mountainous, hilly and rugged terrain in the Gaizhou area prevented the tank formation from being put into use. Therefore, it was only infantry like them who shouldered the task of rapid advance.

    The attack group, as the name suggests, is the troops who rush to the front, rushing to the sharp knives and sharp points.  They have a strong will and combat effectiveness. Even if they encounter the well-trained main force of the Japanese Third Division, they are capable enough to fight and hold on to the main force in the rear.  There are several "attack regiments" like the Guo Zian regiment, all targeting the key defensive fronts of the Japanese Third Division in the Jinzhou area.  In addition to their mission to detect minefields and ambushes for the main force, they also have an important task to test the enemy's strength for the main force in the rear.

    Being able to be assigned such a task shows that Guo Zian¡¯s team is indeed extraordinary.  In fact, this is indeed the case. More than half of the soldiers in their regiment are recruited from Shandong, Henan and Northeast China. Not only are their physical fitness better than that of soldiers from the south, but they are also stationed in the Northeast all year round. They are extremely good at training in the northeastern mountains for hundreds of miles. The entire regiment exceeds  60% of the soldiers are veterans who have been in the army for more than three years, and have participated in the Great Suppression of Bandits in Northeast China and the 1916 Sino-Russian Conflict. The vast majority of the soldiers are tough men who have seen blood.

    From the equipment point of view, they are also very sophisticated.  The rifles they are equipped with are also brand-new Type 16 modified rifles, which are brand-new standardized rifles of the National Defense Forces that have been improved based on the Type 13 rifles. Not only is the weight reduced by a full 2.7 kilograms, but it also has enhanced bayonet fighting capabilities.  In addition, Guo Zian's regiment also has a light machine gun company and a mortar platoon, with twelve light machine guns and sixteen mortars.  Looking at the entire Republic of China, there are not many people with better equipment than them!

    The previous reconnaissance came back soon and reported that the destination was very close.  Considering that the soldiers were indeed too tired.  Guo Zian pondered for a moment and ordered to rest for a quarter of an hour. At the same time, he ordered two rows of soldiers to be set aside to guard and guard.

    After making arrangements, he ordered several company commanders to gather together to study their maps and tactics.

    Several people looked at the map for a while, and soon they all breathed a sigh of relief. A young company commander named Wang Nan, who graduated from mainland China, calculated for a while and breathed a sigh of relief. "With another hour of forced march, we will almost be in contact with the enemy."  , considering that we have been separated from the main force behind for more than two hours, I suggest that we might as well extend the rest time a little to let the brothers rest more, otherwise we will encounter the enemy later and the battle will not start. Brothers first  Get down tired!"

    "no!"

    "Don't!"

    Unlike this young man, his proposal was rejected by regiment leader Guo Zian and another company commander who was a veteran as soon as he put it forward.

    "Wang Wazi, if you do this, we won't be able to fight!"

    A company commander who was in his thirties and had been promoted through military service quickly advised him, "Writing is all about working hard. Let's march and run."Here, the brothers are getting tired the more they rest, it is better to wait until the main force arrives and we take Gaiping before resting!  "
