On the west bank of the Nu River, there is Gaoligong Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters above sea level.
Gaoligong Mountain is steep, there are two passes in the north and south, there is a narrow post road between the passes, it is the throat road leading to Tengchong.
Here the peaks and valleys are arranged alternately in the north and south, the terrain is steep, the road is rugged, the climate is harsh, the surrounding peaks are lined with dogs' teeth, the peak area is covered with snow all the year round, the hurricane roars and the climate is extremely cold, in the pass is the sea of clouds, mountains and fog, the road is difficult to distinguish, and the passage of people and horses is not yet difficult, it is a very typical mountain valley area.
Song Yuhang had sent a special person to inspect it before, and the pass could only barely pass through mechanized vehicles, and according to Chang Tianfang, the commander of the First Mechanized Division, this area was simply a nightmare for mechanized troops.
Finally found that the omnipotent First Mechanization Division also had a soft Zhang Tiansheng smiled at Chang Tianfang and said: "Master Chang, don't worry, brother will use the head guarantee to take down the pass and let your babies pass, otherwise you will sit on my head as a stool."
In the face of Zhang Tiansheng's pastime, Chang Tianfang seemed to be very well cultivated, and the teacher responded lightly: I don't care about Zhang Tiansheng if I don't like it.
As a bystander, Huo Yuzhang, commander of the 20th Group Army, was full of emotion in his heart at this moment, and in order to capture Tengchong, he decided to use the Zhou Fucheng Division of the 53rd Army to make a frontal attack, and the 54th Army's Tianbu and the Mountain Infantry Brigade of the First Mechanized Army to make a roundabout intersperse, bypassing the pass and attacking the back of the Japanese army.
Huo Yuzhang's plan was undoubtedly very bold, because it needed the artillery support of the First Mechanized Army, and the First Mechanized Army did not belong to the Twentieth Group Army, so Huo Yuzhang personally arrived at the headquarters of the First Mechanized Army and interviewed Song Yuhang Song Yuhang remembered that Huo Yuzhang did the same in history, and in the face of this wrinkled uncle next door, Song Yuhang readily agreed, and sent his subordinate mountain infantry brigade to cooperate with the 54th Army, which was greatly unexpected by Huo Yuzhang.
Before coming, Huo Yuzhang and his staff thought of a lot of ways to build relationships.
Leave the favor, take advantage of the help, carefully study Song Yuhang's possible prevarication of every interface, and when he sought Wei Lihuang's help, Wei Lihuangzhi told him what to say.
Song Yuhang is a new-school soldier, and everything will be based on the battle situation.
But Huo Yuzhang still made all kinds of plans, he has been in the army for decades and has seen countless people, but unfortunately all his plans have failed, Song Yuhang did not shirk at all, but took the initiative to send his elite to assist in the battle Huo Yuzhang only then found that he was a little petty However, the ensuing combat expeditionary force directly confronted the "Black Wind Team" of Kurashige Yasumi, which was a specially trained mountain combat corps in Hokkaido, Japan, was a special establishment in the Japanese army, and the corps commander Kurashige Yasumi was equivalent to the position of wing commander, but his subordinates had fully organized six fully equipped mountain infantry brigades, plus one battalion each of artillery and baggage, with a total strength of nearly 10,000 troops.
Most of the Japanese officers and men of the Black Wind team, like bantams, had worked as lumberjacks.
It is especially suitable for running in the mountains and jungles.
They have been deployed on the Nu River for almost a year.
You are already fully familiar with the topography and climate of the place.
The 53rd Division of Zhou Fucheng's Division was the first to taste the sharpness of the Black Wind Army.
In the mountains and jungles, the Japanese fortifications were very cleverly arranged.
Bunker-style stronghold.
Rat's nest skirmish trenches and bird's nest tree fire points.
The cavernous shelter can be described as dotted.
Mutual support and echo each other.
Strongholds vs. strongholds.
Between the hills.
There are also many secret passages.
In addition, the Japanese army adopted the method of breaking up the whole into parts.
The small Japanese army is haunted.
If there are fighters, they will fight.
Withdraw without fighters.
It's as weird as black smoke.
The Japanese army frequently attacked the expeditionary force and succeeded.
The division commander Zhao Zhenfan was tortured by the Japanese army and went crazy.
Many of the captured strongholds did not know when they were reconquered by the Japanese army, and often the troops were attacked.
After a fierce battle, an inventory.
Only a few Japanese soldiers were killed, but the casualties themselves were almost half of the company In desperation, Zhao Zhenfan had no choice but to bear the casualties and adopt the method of concentrating firepower and advancing to the ground.
The intention was to drive the Japanese out.
Song Yuhang, who followed forward, did not seem to have any particularly effective way to face the cunning and cunning Japanese mountain troops.
The only mountain infantry brigade in his hands that could compete with the Japanese Black Wind Brigade was sent to the 54th Army to assist it in interspersed operations.
In the two days of entanglement with the Black Wind team.
Song Yuhang knew that the sacrifices of the officers and soldiers of the expedition were inevitable, and even his first mechanized army had officers and soldiers who were shot black.
Looking at the distant mountain peaks ethereal in the clouds.
Song Yuhang knew that as long as the troops could break through the Zhai Gongfang and point the troops to Tengchong, then the Black Wind team would not have a few days to be arrogant.
In the past few days, Song Yuhang has been in contact with Song Ziwen.
When will the special aviation ammunition produced by the United States that he previously commissioned to be delivered to Kunming be delivered to General Chennault of the 14th Air Force?
Finally, under the absolute superiority of the 53rd Army, the Japanese army retreated to the Gaoligong Mountain Pass to hold on and wait for reinforcements In the evening, Song Yuhang accompanied Zhou Fucheng, commander of the 53rd Army, to inspect the troops' preparations before the attack.

Looking at the officers and soldiers of the expedition wearing straw sandals on their single clothes and feet, Song Yuhang couldn't help but be worried, because the 54th Army, which was interspersed with the pass of Zhaigongfang, was also equipped with such equipment, and his mountain infantry brigade was not worried at all, because the mountain infantry brigade of the First Mechanized Army was equipped with Type 40 stab-proof military boots, 39 cold-proof clothing, velvet sleeping bags, alcohol stoves, etc., which were only equipped in large quantities by the US army, and the officers and soldiers were systematically trained in mountain and jungle operations, while the 5th Army was not, and the officers and men had no experience in mountain and jungle operations.
The equipment was extremely rudimentary, so the troops implemented radio silence during the interspersed process.
"I don't know where they're interspersed at the moment" Song Yuhang's worries really became a fact, Fang Tian, who was ambitious when he set off, was almost green at the moment, and the team was almost walking on the edge of the cliffs, crossing the peaks of the earth, and there was absolutely no way to go, all relying on the officers and soldiers to grope little by little.
What made Fang Tian most grateful was the brigade commander Zhang Tiansheng of the mountain infantry brigade, who divided the troops into three parts, and the most difficult and dangerous work of opening the road, responding to the middle and cutting off was all undertaken by the mountain infantry brigade, even so, the 54th Army was still embarrassed.
Due to the high and severe cold mountains, the swishing winds, and the drizzle, the uniforms of the officers and men were thin, and in the first two days alone, more than 200 officers and men were frozen to death every day.
In addition to the disappearance, fall to death, snake and insect bites, and lack of oxygen in the mountains, nearly 300 people are lost every day.
Song Yuanhang outside the mountain could see the sunset in the evening, but Fang Tian could only see the continuous sea of clouds overhead, and the clothes soaked by the drizzle made him feel uncomfortable, and although the mountain infantry brigade that had passed through the cold war had already evened out the extra clothes.
Helplessness is a drop in the bucket.
Fang Tianyong looked at the mountain infantry not far away with envious eyes, and quickly took out matches or lighters on their bodies, easily lit a small stove, and put the lunch box on it, and then several soldiers cooperated, borrowed a branch on the side, and set up a simple tent with a raincoat and a rain cloth wrapped around their legs, and a few small stoves were baked, looking extremely warm.
Suddenly, Fang Tian heard the sound of scolding, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that it was his guard company commander who was throwing the lighter, and the guard company commander found that Shi Zuo noticed him, and said embarrassedly: "Shi Zuo."
The firecrackers and matches are all damp, and everything in this place is damp, and you can hold a handful of wood to get water, and you can't light it."
Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away, what Fang Tian was most worried about was that his soldiers were jealous of the mountain infantry, and there was a dispute between the two sides, then he would be sorry for Brother Anyi Fang Tian walked through a low bush, and his hanging heart fell, it turned out that it was the mountain infantry who let his officers and soldiers into the tent to shelter from the rain together.
Everyone talked and laughed and shared the hot soup.
"This is really good, this is really good, there is comradeship" Fang Tianrong has been riding for more than ten years, and he is the most moved today.
This is the commander of the guard company who ran over and said, "Division, Brigade Commander Zhang has set up our tent."
Where can you please go?"
Fang Tian shook Zhang Tiansheng's hand tightly in the tent, patted Zhang Tiansheng hard, choked up, and said, "It's still the brothers of the Sichuan Army."
Zhang Tiansheng changed his previous laughter, and said with a serious expression: "Commander Fang, there is no Sichuan Army anymore, our Song Army Commander said that for the country and the nation, we will fight against the Japanese invaders."
They are all middle-aged people.
Brothers and sisters will never leave each other."
Four small stoves were lit in the tent, and Tianfang and other officers changed into American-style military uniforms sent by Zhang Tiansheng.
Fang Tian laughed at himself: "We are the first batch of people in the Twentieth Army to change into these clothes, how can we not be spiritual?"
As if forgetting that Fang Tian, who was tired, walked around the tent a few times, and the guard company commander who followed the borrowed light touched his sleeve and sighed: "Don't say it."
From clothes to shoes, everything is better than our old eight," he said, jumped on the ground, and stepped on the ground with his feet, and broke the stubble with a click Fang Tian looked at the broken stubble and smiled slightly: "If you want to return the straw sandals, you have to pierce a bloody hole."
Xi Yuping, the chief of staff on the side, frowned and said: "In the past, we all said that the First Mechanized Division was relying on the chairman, with good equipment and good luck, but today I saw the real chapter, look at the soldiers, not only weapons and equipment, but also the iron army of the Northern Expedition."
The commander of the guard company on the side immediately added: "Their soldiers can always find a dry place to put matches, and the lighter will definitely be able to quickly heat the hot soup."
"Success or failure is in the details" Fang Tian sighed with emotion and led the personnel to inspect the situation of the troops' camping, how did he know how much suffering and how many sins the officers and soldiers from Zhang Tiansheng to the following had suffered for this skill, especially after being trained by American instructors, they had to accept the military seat Xiaozao tutoring, the process can only be described as hell on earth, that Zhang Tiansheng even suspected that Song Yuhang had bad intentions to recruit them, and wanted to kill him quickly When the exhausted interspersed troops fell asleep early, Song Yuhang stood beside Huo Yuzhang and listened to Zhou Fucheng, the commander of the 53rd Army, arranging the battle plan for tomorrow.
