July 19th, the fourth year of Yanning.

The telegram from the capital has been transmitted to Yazhou City in Sichuan Province.

When Wei Xiangdong, commander of the 26th Infantry Division, received the telegram and read its contents, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Hahaha, I, Lao Wei, have finally got my chance!"

Wei Xiangdong laughed loudly and said, "It's finally our 26th Division's turn to make a move!"

"Commander, what good news is there?"

Chief of Staff Yi Xiaofeng, who was standing to the side, asked with a smile, "What does His Majesty want us to do?"

"Conquer the snowy plateau!"

Wei Xiangdong said with a smile, "See how clever I am? Ever since our 26th Infantry Division entered Yazhou, our division has been gathering intelligence on the situation in the Tibetan Plateau. Hard work pays off, and we've finally got the opportunity to send troops out of Yazhou!"

"Pass down the order,"

Wei Xiangdong announced loudly, "The 26th Infantry Division, prepare supplies immediately and set out for the snowy plateau in three days!"

"yes!"

Chief of Staff Yi Xiaofeng quickly responded.

Immediately, the 26th Infantry Division, located in Yazhou City, began preparing logistical supplies.

Throughout the city, the army began to move.

The opportunity to send troops to conquer the snowy plateau not only excited Wei Xiangdong, but also made all the soldiers of the 26th Infantry Division very happy and cheering!

Since the pacification of the Southwest, all troops in the entire Southwest Military Region have been stationed in their garrisons, without any opportunity to fight.

In particular, the 26th Infantry Division in Yazhou watched helplessly as friendly forces from the Southwest Military Region quelled the local chieftains in Dianchi and Qianzhong, without even having a chance to intervene.

In recent years, the Northern Military Region has been fighting on the grasslands, and the Northwest Military Region has been fighting in the Western Regions, but they have never been involved in any of the major battles.

On their side, all they could do was watch helplessly, their eyes filled with longing.

Now that it's finally the 26th Infantry Division's turn to act, they are naturally very happy!

However happy they were, now that the opportunity had come to their 26th Infantry Division, they naturally had to prepare well and not let down His Majesty and the Privy Council who had entrusted them with such great trust!

Fortunately, in recent years, the 26th Infantry Division has frequently entered the Tibetan Plateau region to gather intelligence on the situation there.

Their 26th Infantry Division is quite familiar with the Tibetan Plateau.

Even within their 26th Infantry Division, they took in twenty or thirty serfs who had escaped from the snowy plateau.

These serfs also became the best guides for their 26th Infantry Division.

"The climate on the Tibetan Plateau is cold and the roads are difficult to travel,"

Upon arriving at the 26th Infantry Division's supply depot, Wei Xiangdong instructed, "His Majesty has already given instructions that we will be carrying most of our own supplies after entering the plateau. Logistics and supply transport will be extremely difficult, so we must bring everything we need. Mainly ammunition and cold-weather clothing. We can bring less food; we can capture it after we enter the plateau!"

"You all better get ready!"

Wei Xiangdong frowned, and repeatedly gave him instructions with some concern.

"Don't worry, Commander!"

The head of the logistics department nodded hurriedly and said, "Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to make any mistakes in logistics and supplies."

"That's good!"

After giving him his instructions, Wei Xiangdong felt relieved.

...

Entering the Tibetan Plateau from Yazhou in Sichuan, there are several strategically important passes that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, as well as several large cities along the way. Kangcheng, in particular, which is close to Yazhou, is a formidable city in the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau.

Kangcheng is situated in a canyon, flanked by towering mountains that reach into the clouds, with a large river flowing through the middle, making its terrain extremely treacherous.

However, this place is the only way for Yazhou to enter the plateau, and there is no way to bypass it!

Wei Xiangdong wasn't too worried about Kangcheng.

After all, the 26th Infantry Division, equipped with the standard equipment of the first year of Yanning, had a very high combat effectiveness.

Wei Xiangdong didn't take Kangcheng seriously at all.

His only concern was the logistical supply problem.

Three days later, Wei Xiangdong led the 26th Infantry Division and all its supplies and equipment away from Yazhou City, embarking on a westward journey to the snowy plateau!

Led by the guide, the 26th Infantry Division headed straight for Zishi Pass.

Zishi Pass is located on the border between the snowy plateau and the Dagan Kingdom, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a strategic and dangerous terrain.

There are about 300 soldiers stationed here on the snowy plateau.

Although the number of people was small, the strategic location of Zishi Pass, coupled with the narrow terrain outside the pass, which could only accommodate a dozen or so people walking side by side, prevented large armies from forming a proper formation, and thus no one could shake the position of Zishi Pass.

Therefore, the garrison at Zishi Pass was fearless!

July 26th, around noon.

On the mountainside north of Zishi Pass, a troop of fully armed soldiers is rapidly traversing the forest.

"quick!"

Company Commander Lu Jinxiang frowned and said, "Speed ​​up! Zishi Pass is just ahead!"

With the rapid advance of the Third Company soldiers, they soon arrived at the mountain above Zishi Pass.

Through the dense forest, standing on the steep mountainside, Lu Jinxiang, the company commander of the Third Company, looked at the situation at Zishi Pass through binoculars, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Company commander, how should we attack?"

A squad leader approached and said, "The soldiers from the snowy plateau at Zishi Pass won't notice us coming this time. We can go down from here and storm into Zishi Pass without anyone knowing. The few troops inside Zishi Pass are no match for our Third Company!"
