The Halaha River is currently a river bordering both China and Outer Mongolia. It originates from Songye Lake on the northern slope of Motianling on the west side of the Greater Xing'an Mountains. It flows through the Duckau Lake and also gathers in tributaries such as the Suhu River and the Gurban River.???

Originally, this was just an inconspicuous river in the northeast, but both the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Army seemed to attach great importance to it. Because of the ownership of this river, the two sides never reached a consensus.

According to the Kwantung Army's earlier formulation of the "northern advance policy" to invade westward, retaining this disputed area is also an excuse to start a war. The Kwantung Army has always deployed a lot more troops here than in Outer Mongolia.

Even in the eyes of many people, many of the troops deployed on the front line of the Halaha River are cavalry and infantry of the Manchurian Army. But in fact, behind the Manchurian Army's defense line, there are elite troops deployed by the Kwantung Army.

When He Zhengdao rushed his army eastward and attacked the Xilingol League area with a very fast pace, a more secretive unit continued to move north along the Xilingol League and secretly arrived at the area where the Halaha River was located.

The commander of this unit was Zhu Fei, who almost died in the previous battle. As the most elite special operations officer under He Zhengdao, He Zhengdao also hopes that Zhu Fei's future will not be limited to a special operations officer.

In addition to the special combat team commanded by Zhu Fei, an equally elite camouflage regiment in the special division was also ordered to cooperate with Zhu Fei's actions. Lin Tie, the leader of the camouflage regiment, also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the operation force.

The troops of up to thousands of people arrived in this area secretly without attracting the attention of the Kanto Army and the Outer Mongolia Army. This may be an incredible thing to many people. But it is not surprising if it were here.

As a disputed area, with the vast land and sparse population, except for bandits outside the pass, ordinary people will not live in such places at all. Because in such places, safety is not guaranteed.

In a very controversial area, what is really active is the cavalry reconnaissance units of the Manchu Army and the Outer Mongolia Army. Once the reconnaissance units of both sides meet during patrol and reconnaissance, they will often fight to the death.

Under this situation, Zhu Fei and others who lurked into this large area, relying on their rich wild survival experience and annihilated many beards who were wandering around the local area, successfully gained a foothold in this area and began to reconnaise the movements of the two armies.

You can pretend to be a camouflage regiment of the Japanese and Outer Mongolian Army. With your excellent camouflage skills, you can reconnaissance a lot of internal information from the Japanese and Outer Mongolian Army. You also know that this place seems calm, but it is actually covered with clouds of war.

Before leaving, Zhu Fei, who had seen the detailed combat plan from He Zhengdao, also knew the task he was carrying out this time. Once it was leaked, it would probably cause a lot of noise within the Eighth Route Army.

But Zhu Fei also knew that He Zhengdao could hand over such an important task to him, which was undoubtedly a trust in him. Therefore, after leading the troops over, Zhu Fei also issued a strict confidentiality system.

He even made it hard and mandatory that when the operation fails during the mission, the captured personnel must rather die than be captured. This means that it is unlikely that others want to get news from their mouths.

Most of the officers and soldiers who are qualified to participate in this plan are veterans of the Independent Column. They undoubtedly have no doubts about the orders of He Zhengdao, the elder brother, and they also know how shameful it is to be a prisoner.

Zhu Fei, who was staying in a dense forest near the Halaha River, built a disguised bandit nest, also knew the reason why the cunning rabbit had three holes. He would bring thousands of elites in many dense forests in the border area.

By robbing the scouting forces of the Outer Mongolian Army and the Manchu Army from time to time, these operational team members lived a good life. Even some disguised team members successfully intervened in the border town stationed by the Outer Mongolian Army, the Manchu Army and the Japanese.

When Zhu Fei and Lin Tie learned that the troops participating in the war on the front line successfully recovered Chengde, they undoubtedly seemed a little jealous. But they both knew that without the order of the righteous way, they could not easily expose their targets.

Until the command radio station located in the copycat, he received a telegram from He Zhengdao, with only two short words "action". Zhu Fei was undoubtedly very happy to see this telegram.

He smiled and said, "Lao Lin, it's finally our turn to take action! This time, we will first use the Japanese to deploy the Manchu army on the front line. This time, we can only succeed and not fail. We must take the Manchu army on the front line.

As long as you succeed, I will take the rest of my troops to sneak attack the Outer Mongolia Army’s barracks and outposts. At that time, as long as we lead the troops from both sides together, we will watch the show well."

‘Don’t worry! We have already touched the military outposts of the Erpi Dogs very clearly. As long as you order, you can guarantee that all these military camps will be wiped out tonight. Hehe, after holding them in for so long, you can finally do a big fight.’

‘Okay! Then you are responsible for the Manchu army, and I am responsible for the Outer Mongolia army. Fight a time difference, remember to take the Manchu army and go to the Japanese to provoke them. I believe that the Japanese will definitely scream!’

During the time of lurking and standing by, Zhu Fei knew very well that the Outer Mongolian Army and the Manchu Army were already like water and fire. Similarly, the elite Kanto Army troops stationed here also thought of finding excuses to declare war on the Outer Mongolian Army.

After all, when they were ordered to station in this area, they knew what their real mission was. However, they could not find a reasonable excuse and did not dare to act rashly. Everyone knew that the Outer Mongolian Army had a backer behind it.

As for the Soviet Far Eastern Army, they also wanted to compete with the Kwantung Army to test whether the strength of a Kwantung Army was as strong as they imagined. However, it seems that no one wants to bear the charge of easily provoking the battle.

For this reason, even though the Soviet Far East Army was ready to go to war, they also needed a reasonable excuse. If they rashly provoke the war and pursue it, they would not have much fruit.

As an elite force deployed in the Far East and Northeast regions, the Soviet Far East and Kwantung Army felt that they were the strongest and most elite force, and no one was convinced by each other. It was not what they like to see when they were always confronted.

Soldiers prefer to make their power through their military achievements. But it is not a crime that everyone can bear to provoke easily. He Zhengdao formulated a secret sting plan to give both sides an excuse to start a war, and finally sit on the wall and watch as a fisherman.

From the standpoint of both sides, at least the Eighth Route Army and the Soviet Union should be in the same group. But from a long-term perspective, both the Far East and the Kwantung Army will be He Zhengdao's enemies.

With Zhu Fei's order to start the action, the elite troops who had been on standby in secret gathering places also began to change their clothes. The troops commanded by Lin Tie changed into Outer Mongolian military uniforms that had been prepared early in the morning.

Seeing the Manchu army deployed several military camps at the forefront, Lin Tie also formulated a detailed combat attack plan. The attack time is naturally the time when people are late at night.

Arriving at the Manchurian Cavalry Company's garrison, Lin Tie and others were quietly waiting for news of the infiltration team. Looking at the successful signal from the barracks, Lin Tie instantly issued an order to attack.

Faced with the sudden sneak attack and rapid attack, the Manchu cavalry and the Japanese cavalry stationed in this military camp were also caught off guard. Not long after, the military camp was announced to fall.

‘Leave a company to clean the battlefield, transport all the supplies back to the secret camp, and the rest continue to march towards the next target!’

Lin Tie was not satisfied with the hundreds of puppet cavalry and Japanese cavalry that were eliminated. After all, Zhu Fei's order was to eliminate all the Manchurian troops deployed to the front line tonight!

Only in this way can the Japanese feel extremely provoked and their strongest combat power will be revealed. In contrast, the sneak attacks of the Outer Mongolian Army can delay the progress, or even be more open and unbiased.

In this way, in just midnight, the three Manchurian barracks deployed by the Kwantung Army at the front of the Halaha River were all captured by Lin Tie. The troops stationed in the three barracks were also wiped out repeatedly.

Considering the reasons for confidentiality, Lin Tie did not leave any living slaughter. Every time the battle ended, the troops would be ordered to conduct another search to confirm that there would be no fish that missed the net, thereby ensuring that their actions would not be exposed.

The weapons used, even the language they used when attacking, were exactly the same as those of the Outer Mongolia Army. For such regulations, the officers and soldiers of the camouflage regiment were no longer surprised and did not think there was anything wrong with it.

Seeing that the time was almost the same, Lin Tie quickly said: "Order the assault cavalry team to take advantage of the time left to raid the Japanese's frontier outpost. The rest of the troops will go out of the Japanese's military camp and retreat quickly!"

‘Yes, the leader!’

After issuing the combat order to lure the enemy, Lin Tie will succeed and quickly sent Zhu Fei, who was leading another unit. After learning that Lin Tie and his party had successfully completed the task, Zhu Fei immediately issued a combat order for a sneak attack.

In order to make the Outer Mongolian Army feel the pressure and let the Soviet Far East Army take action as soon as possible, Zhu Fei also felt that he should wipe out an Outer Mongolian Army barracks and then send a few cavalry back to report the news.

As long as the troops from both sides are successfully lured out, the rest is to allow the troops from both sides to get angry smoothly. Once this combat goal is completed, the rest is to wait for an opportunity to see if you can get some benefits.

After all, Zhu Fei and the others lurk here not only to implement this sting plan. For He Zhengdao, he also hopes that Zhu Fei and the others can stay here and establish a stable base behind enemy lines.

Once they can gain a foothold here, then the Eighth Route Army will have a valuable transit station when it advances to Xing'an League and Hei Province in the future. Even under special circumstances, they can play the role of surprise troops! 8
