The combat effectiveness of the First Division was not enough. Seeing that its baggage team was bombarded, the 12 150 heavy artillery from the Artillery Regiment were also set up, and under the guidance of the balloon observation soldiers rising from behind, they fought back in the direction of Zishan.

More than 40 kilograms of shells bloomed terrible flowers on the top of Zishan Mountain, and the whole mountain seemed to be trembling!

However, this round of retaliation of artillery fire in the Japanese army caused almost zero damage to the personnel of the Four Army Regiment.

Firstly, because the two sides are more than 13 kilometers apart, even if the weather is clear and the sight is good, the Japanese observers in the high altitude cannot accurately locate the Four-Road Artillery positions hidden in the dense forests of the valleys; secondly, after a year of careful construction, the Four-Road Defense Line in the Zishan area is basically divided into two levels: ground trenches and underground tunnels.

This is Tang Dao’s experience in the battlefield of the Battle of the Five Sacred Mountains in Time and Space.

In order to dig these tunnels, the young and strong people in the Zishan area almost did not participate in farmland labor this year. Instead, they paid 100 kilograms of grain per person per month, and under the leadership of the engineering company of the Four-Road Regiment, they dug in Zishan day by day.

Not counting as the soldiers of the Sixing Group, the number of young and strong people in the Zishan area alone is as high as 13,000!

The digging of earth, in the original words of the prince and Gongyu, who was personally responsible for the logistics work, can be piled up on the main peak of Zishan Mountain.

You should know that Zishan belongs to the remnant line of Taihang, with an area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers, and the main peak of Zishan is as high as 498.4 meters, which is the highest altitude point in Handan City.

Tang Dao’s command center is in the underground tunnel on Zi Peak, the main peak of Zishan Mountain!

Although the Japanese army's 150 heavy artillery was powerful enough, it was still too small for underground tunnels that were nearly 15 meters deep underground.

At that time, Tang Dao was standing on the Zifeng position, a dense forest covered with a green camouflage net on the surface, and a fortification with nearly one meter thick reinforced concrete, and quietly looked into the distance with a telescope.

Zishan is very famous in Handan area. During the Warring States Period, Zhao She, the general of Zhao State, fought against the invasion of the Qin army and made great achievements. He was given the title of Ma Fujun. After his death, he was buried in Zishan and changed his name to Ma Fushan.

Standing on Zi Peak, the highest peak of Zishan, you can overlook the mountains. On the north side of the mountain, the mountains are like "clubs of mountains and piles of snails"; on the south side of the mountain, Qiugangs undulate for dozens of miles.

Whenever the sun sets in the west, the sun shines on the purple peak, and it turns purple peaks into golden yellow. From a distance, it looks like wearing a golden helmet, overlooking the two Ming Rivers in the northwest, south and north, with sparkling waves and golden colors. The two rivers gather at the foot of the mountain, then turn north and flow eastward. This is the "Purple Peak Sunset Glow" that was once one of the top ten landscapes in Handan.

This is not the first time Tang Dao has stood here overlooking the mountains. Although the beautiful scenery is always there, he still feels comfortable. He even takes the initiative to ask Xia Dayu to come to the camera, take a few photos, and send it back to Dan Tai Mingyue, who was unable to come to Zishan.

As long as I have you in my heart, even if you are thousands of miles away, I will travel with me. Although Tang Tuanzu is a bit straight man, it is actually a bit romantic in its bones.

But this time, what stayed in his eyes was no longer the magnificent mountains and rivers, but the fire of war!

Duotianjun was also willing to do his best this time, and he actually used nearly 40,000 and a half division team as the main attacker. The 10th Division, which had been defeated, was just a fight.

The southern Jilin Division currently has nearly 30,000 main forces. Although it is not a safe victory against a 10th Division, there is still not much problem with self-report. Moreover, there are two leaders of the 921st Division who have arrived in Xingtai who are personally leading it.

On the battlefield in southern Hebei, Tang Dao's only concern was a platoon of infantry trapped in Hanjiazhai, but the four regiments, whose main force had been reduced to respond to the attack of the Japanese army, were beyond the reach. As powerful as Tang Dao, he could only temporarily put down his concern and put all his mind on the main battlefield that was about to be fully launched.

The Japanese 150 howitzers were frantically retaliating and fighting back, and the nearest bombing point was less than 300 meters away from the fortification where the Tang Dao was located!

The scorching air waves blew past the rectangular observation port of the fortification, and the trunks of the trees as thick as arms could not bear the huge force and broke one after another!

A trace of worry flashed across the face of Lieutenant Colonel Shangguan Yun, the 4th battalion commander who was accompanying him, was afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid of one. If a 150 howitzer shell really fell on the fortification, the highest commander of the Zishan War Zone of Tang Regiment would be reimbursed, then the battle would have actually lost 90% before it even started.

"The Type 96 150 howitzer used by the Japanese army is praised by the Japanese Army as one of the most modern and powerful guns with the most firepower, but in my opinion, it is just a short general who pulled the general from the bottom." Tang Dao put down his telescope and turned around with a plain face.

"I let Pang Dahai expose some of the artillery strength at the beginning. The main purpose is not to shock the Japanese, but to let our army see that after having sufficient fortification protection, the Japanese artillery fire is only worthy of tickling us."

Tang Dao's words are not a reason to underestimate the Japanese. Compared with the heavy firepower projected by the American cowboys faced by the Chinese soldiers in the Battle of Ice Field ten years later, the current heavy firepower of the Japanese army is like the financial resources of the country bumpkins from Somalia and Miss Laura, which are completely different dimensions.

You should know that in the Battle of Five Sacred Mountains that lasted for 43 days in time and space, American cowboys poured out 1.97 million shells with shells alone. The frequency of shells once reached six shells per second. The density of artillery fire far exceeded the highest level of firepower density during World War II. Even the nearby soil was flushed several meters deep, and the mountain was shaken by dozens of centimeters. A handful of soil was grabbed and there were dozens of bullet shells inside.

It was impossible for anyone to survive such fierce artillery fire, but in order to cope with the suppression of this absolute firepower, the wise Chinese soldiers began to build tunnel defense fortifications extensively under the leadership of Brigade Commander Cheng, the then deputy commander, and built more than 7,700 tunnel fortifications on the front line and on the two wing positions, as well as 3,420 kilometers of covered open-air trenches.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The 15th Army, which was responsible for building tunnel defense fortifications in Wusheng Mountain at that time, put forward the requirements for its defense fortifications of "seven defenses": air defense, artillery protection, virus protection, rain protection, moisture protection, fire protection, and cold protection. We strive to "break the mountain and build the Great Wall, hollow out the ridge and feel at ease with my home."

In order to ensure that these built tunnel defense fortifications can meet the combat requirements, the thickness of the top of all tunnels must be at least 30 meters, and even the protective thickness of the tunnel entrance must be at least 12 meters to fifteen meters, the width must be 1.2 meters, and at least two entrances and exits.

Outside the tunnel, corresponding field fortifications such as trenches, traffic trenches, anti-tank trenches, firearm bunkers, etc. should also be complete.

Although the Zishan area fortifications designed and built by Tang Dao himself did not reach the standard of 30 meters of defensive ground-based bombs, the length and breadth were still beyond that.

Tang Dao even hollowed out a hill in the core area of ​​Zishan as a base for ammunition, food, and field hospitals. In order to prevent Japanese military aircraft and cannons from blocking the frontier positions, the base has four exits and uses trenches of 3 meters of depth and width as traffic trenches as traffic trenches.

The traffic trenches even have temporary artillery holes designed. Not to mention being bombarded by Japanese artillery, even if Japanese planes find that they are strafing or bombing these traffic trenches, personnel and materials can temporarily hide.

This also draws on the experience of the logistics supply line being blocked by American cowboys in the Battle of Five Sacred Mountains, which leads to the experience of being sent to the front line and making contributions even if an apple can be sent to the front line.

After seeing these tunnels designed and constructed by Tang Dao, Brigade Commander Cheng, who arrived in Zishan two months ago, once sighed: "Faced with such a position, if it were a brigade of my 683rd Brigade, I would most likely refuse to attack against military orders. This is not a war, but a brigade of all the officers and soldiers of my brigade committed suicide. Perhaps only if most of the main forces of my 921st Division gathered here, and with the full support of your four-way regiment, I have the confidence to conquer this position, but then, I must also be prepared to be half-dead!

I can only say that your Tang Dao was really born to defeat the Japanese, and I don’t know that the unlucky division will hit your iron plate."

"Yes! I'm a stealer. Don't ask me for tuition fees!" At that time, Captain Cheng was still joking with Tang Dao with various fortification drawings drawn by Tang Dao.

Tang Dao laughed in his heart. Most of his drawings were learned by copying them from this masterpiece 12 years later. But he didn't know that the ancestor who dug the tunnel learned from his disciples and grandchildren in advance.

I can only say that even though the timeline was temporarily confused because of his little butterfly who had traveled through time, God has reunified it with cause and effect.

It's so magical!

"The Japanese artillery is not worth worrying about. The only thing I am worried about is how many bombers the Japanese army will use this time. Japan Airlines, which has suffered losses, will not take it lightly this time." Shangguan Yun also nodded, and a dark cloud flashed across his face.

Air supremacy is currently the only shortcoming of the Four-Round Team!

Even though the Four Army Regiment Air Defense Battalion now has the most advanced 40mm air defense anti-aircraft gun on the Chinese battlefield, it can only be passive defense and lack the ability to actively attack.

"There is no perfect thing in this world. If our side is even stronger than the Japanese, I am afraid that the one who comes to deal with us will not be one or two Japanese army divisions, but the entire Japanese North China Front Army." Tang Dao shook his head and said.

"What my four-way team has to do now is to kill more Japanese devils before the Japanese fully reacted. When they woke up completely and worked hard to deal with us that day, we and our friendly forces were no longer just the little seedlings, but a big tree that could withstand the storm."

What Tang Dao said is actually the changes in the Japanese's perception of the Eighty Army in time and space.

In the early days of the war, although the Eighty Army fought hard in Pingxingguan and southeastern Jin, the casualties caused to the Japanese army were only about a thousand people, and its main combat method was to change the place with one shot and get a cold-shot.

The Japanese army, who were already accustomed to large-scale combat, did not take the "Tu Ba" seriously at all. Until the large-scale counterattack against Japanese raids and the fight against surrenderism began, the Japanese realized that the Tu Ba, whom they looked down upon, actually had hundreds of thousands of troops, enough to launch a large-scale battle with them in North China.

Therefore, the Japanese North China Front Army turned its strategy of advancing west into the first eradication of the Eighty Army, which had become a climate-like one, but it was already a bit late at this time, and the sparks had already formed a prairie fire.

In the following five years, the Japanese North China Front Army not only failed to complete their own strategy, but by the end of the war, their confidant troubles had even had a million troops. Even if Japan did not surrender, the Japanese North China Front Army could no longer defeat them.

The Four-End Group is currently at this stage. Tang Dao knows that maybe the chance left for the Four-End Group is only this time.

After this battle, it was a foregone conclusion that Duo Tianjun, a guy with great ambition and talent, left office. The soon-to-be-taken player, is not that easy to deal with. Once he adjusts his strategic focus in time, and with the start of the Pacific War, Western powers declare war on Japan one after another, and the concession fell, it would be impossible for the Four-Travel Group to obtain various supplies from Tianjin City.

The hard days of the Four Army Regiment and the Eighty Army have come.

"Yes! The troops in our regiment are limited by the organization, and they are still too few. I don't know what the mountain city thinks. You have made such great achievements in the regiment, but you have been standing still for two years..." Shangguan Yun couldn't help but frown.

The war has been ongoing for more than two years, and countless generals have been promoted because of their heroic struggle.

Not to mention the distance, just talking about the one who has a good relationship with Tang Dao, Guo and Wu were promoted to the rank of lieutenant generals respectively. In addition to being the rank of rank of generals, General Zhang of the 59th Army also became the commander-in-chief of the right wing corps of the Fifth War Zone and the commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army. Even Commander Xie, who had just joined the 9th War Zone for one year, became the brigade commander of the independent brigade directly under the 9th War Zone before the New Year and was successfully promoted to major general...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Compared with them, although the starting point of Tang Dao is a little lower, no one can match the round of military achievements, but it is stuck at the critical moment of the Army Colonel and cannot advance at all, which makes Shangguan Yun, who has been in the army for many years, puzzled.

"Brother Shangguan, do you know why humans choose to use dogs as a guard house instead of raising lions, tigers, jackals and leopards? Could it be that their appetite is too big to afford it?" Tang Dao smiled slightly and asked Shangguan Yun.

"Of course not. Lions, tigers, wolfs and leopards are wild and difficult to tame, and there will be many worries about the devouring master!" Shangguan Yun replied casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Yun's face looked ugly in an instant, and he finally understood what Tang Dao meant.

The man in the mountain city is preventing the Tang sword from becoming too big, and the core of the reason for being prepared is not to be clearly stated.

"Brother Shangguan, the Patriotic War will eventually win, and the Japanese robber will eventually be driven away by us. But after the war, who can lead our 400 million compatriots to recreate the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties in the past?

Do you think that those bureaucratic groups in the mountain city that are used to sucking the blood of the common people to nourish their own body will become such people?" Tang Dao looked into the distance quietly.

Among the senior management of the Four Army Regiment, Lei Xiong had already communicated with Tang Dao and basically agreed with Tang Dao's opinions. Needless to say, Ye Chenghuan, Gong Shaoxun and Zhuang Shisan, were clear-cut and Tang Dao's leader. Only Shangguan Yun, who had been promoted to Chief of Staff of the Four Army Regiment, had not clearly expressed his ideas and opinions to Tang Dao.

"But now is wartime, and it is a time to go against the outside world. Even if you are closer to the 80th Army, it is because of the joint anti-Japanese war. I think you can find Guo, Zhang or Xue to find the superiors to be compatible..." Shangguan Yun subconsciously and actively avoided Tang Dao's questioning of the already rotten high-rise building.

"Haha! Whether or not the promotion is not important to me personally. If they don't give it to us, can't we do it ourselves! We are not afraid of the Japanese, but are we afraid of those villains who are in vain?

Let’s talk about what happened in the future. Now we have to beat Saburo Okabe. Did he think he would be a great team leader?” Tang Dao brought the topic back to the battlefield before him.

It doesn’t matter that Shangguan Yun avoids sensitive topics. Tang Dao respects everyone’s choices, and time can also give people the most accurate answers!

"I think the Japanese army will first use aircraft and cannons to attack our Zishan area defense positions, and then attack on the ground. The main direction of their attack will definitely be to use the northwest as a breakthrough point!" Shangguan Yun pointed his finger at Minghe, which is visible to the naked eye, and explained his reasons.

"Although there is a danger of Minghe, it is less than 5 miles away from my main peak position. As long as Okabe Saburo is not blind, he will definitely not seek far away from the distance and attack my Zishan position from the rolling hills to the south.

Moreover, most of the areas where the Japanese bombarded the enemy just now were concentrated in the No. 4 and No. 5 highland areas in the northwest direction!

Based on your analysis of the extremely economical character of the Japanese nation, even if they are retaliatory shelling, they must have the idea of ​​not wasting a single shell. Even if they cannot attack our army's artillery positions, they can destroy the surface positions in the area they are about to attack!"

"Haha! Brother Shangguan's analysis is very reasonable. Okabe Saburo must not know that the group of silly artillery soldiers under his command have exposed his main attack direction." Tang Dao smiled.

"Since the Japanese are willing to let us attack halfway, we will help them and telegraph Leng Feng that the Japanese infantry want to build a bridge and cross the river, so let them do it. When half of them pass, they will use shells to blow the bridge up. I will ask the remaining half of them to either stare at the other side of the river or fight with their bare butt in the spring breeze, and it will be a pussy."

Although it was already March, the cold wind in the north was not warm at all. Even if the sun was shining, the temperature was only around seven or eight degrees. If you jump into the cold water river and take a shower and get blown by the cold wind, it would be really not too cool.

"Chinese people are so despicable!"

Because all the wooden bridges crossing the river were destroyed by Chinese artillery fire, they were forced to take off their military trousers and flowed through the Ming River, which was as deep as their chests. They were frozen in the spring breeze and shrank into a ball like shaking quails in the cold wind. At that time, the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 1st Division, the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 501st Infantry Regiment, the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 501st Infantry Corps, Yamashita Seichi Yamashita cursed the four-way regiment from the depths of his soul.

Really, the low temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius in the three northeastern provinces did not make the Army Major who has a dog-skin hat and tweed coat feel so cold.

But in Handan, where peach blossoms are gradually blooming, he received them.
