Chapter 293 Early Defense War

The visitor was the old opponent of the Eighth Route Army, the 36th Division. This time the Japanese spent a lot of money. In addition to sending the 224th Regiment, the Male Division Commander of the Male Division also added a search for the 36th Regiment and one unit of the Industrial Light Artillery. The total number was as high as more than 5,000 people. The captain of the 224th Regiment Fujido Takahashi was the chief officer, preparing to destroy the military important area of ​​the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!

In Huangya Cave, Commander Ou calmly commanded and sent troops to go out of the mountain first, blocking the enemy in the southeast and northwest in advance, fighting and retreating, and buying time for the army.

Therefore, the first battalion dispatched two companies to go straight to Xijing in the southeast, while the second battalion set up an ambush in Shangwen Village, twenty miles away from Huangya Cave, trying to eliminate more Japanese devils, and at the same time, it also allowed the main force to prepare in advance.

The valley suddenly became busy. The soldiers and workers first transported important mechanical equipment to various inconspicuous corners to dig holes and bury them. Even if there is no danger for the time being, they cannot stay in place and let the Japanese bombard it.

All kinds of semi-finished products were transported to caves halfway up the mountain to hide first, and workers and families who could not participate in the battle had to retreat from the small road in advance.

Everything seemed busy but not chaotic. Zhao Hu and his team commanded a company of engineers to bury landmines at the outer mountain passes, dig trenches, and transport a large number of guns and ammunition in advance.

All matters were assigned, but Zhao Hu sat in the command center calmly. What should come will come, there were no other soldiers, there were too many bullets and gunpowder, and the terrain here was dangerous, as long as the defense was properly, no matter how many Japanese came, it would be in vain.

This is not what he was worried about. His sinister smile when he was in a meeting made him furrowed. No matter how strong the fortress was, he was afraid of breaking it from the inside. Therefore, half of his mind had to be put into this. As long as someone dared to stretch out his claws, he would not mind wielding his knife to chop it off, and he would not be merciless!

The dog ran in quietly and said in Zhao Hu's ear: "That guy didn't go out, but ran into the confinement room. I don't know what he was fiddling with. Because there were people standing guard outside, it was difficult for me to touch it."

"Confinement room?" Zhao Hu narrowed his eyes. It was not a good place. A small cave was just below the big cave halfway up the mountain. If he really made trouble inside, half of the armed forces would be blown up!

But the dog chuckled and said, "No matter what he wants to do, I have a backup plan to deal with it."

"Oh, let's hear!"

"I asked the comrades to store dozens of buckets of water in the cave while they were resting at night, and they would pour it into the vent hole tomorrow. Even if he wanted to do anything to destroy it, he would not get angry at that time!"

When Zhao Hu heard this, he couldn't help but give the dog a big finger and said, "In case, he would secretly transport the explosives from the cave. If he had waterproof measures, it would be a pity if it exploded!"

Gouzi nodded and left quietly again. Zhao Hu tapped the table gently on his knuckles, but his heart was overwhelmed. This guy is amazing. If he disagrees, there is nothing. Anyway, there are everyone in the army and he can't do it to the death. But if this guy does this destruction, he will not be able to do it. It's not a mistake, but a typical anti-Eighth Route Army.

Before grasping the evidence, Zhao Hu decided to let it go first. After all, if he wanted to destroy someone, he naturally had to go crazy first.

I got up and walked through the Yishitian, went up to check the blocking position halfway up the mountain. Here, the soldiers built a half-person-high stone wall with stones against the mountain wall. Behind the stone wall, boxes of homemade grenades were placed. If you want to get here, you must climb over the suspension bridge on the other side. It can be said that one man is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. As long as the grenades are not thrown, the Japanese dreamed that they want to pass the Yishitian below!

I sighed in my heart. The arsenal is still lacking in raw materials. If we pour cement into a semi-permanent fortification here, and then put a heavy machine gun inside, no matter how many troops he is, he will be defeated here!

He said to Zuo Arrow who came over to check, "It also needs to be strengthened here, and the top is covered with wooden boards and steel leather to prevent the attack of the grenade tube. At the same time, a layer of sandbags must be placed behind the stone wall as a second layer of protection. The grenades must be transported more. As long as you keep this place, you will not be afraid of the Japanese attacking them."

Zuo Arrow said: "There are all the third line of defense here. Do you need to be so careful?"

Zhao Hu patted his hand and said, "Be prepared for any trouble. The Japanese are coming here formidable force this time, so you can't be careful!"

Going out along the narrow valley, I soon arrived at Wengyu Gang. The terrain here is even more dangerous, with the steep and majestic mountain tops on both wings. The two caves that I first dug when I arrived were also reinforced. I don’t know if no one cares, and did not pour the two shooting holes into ash.

Zhao Hu couldn't help but shook his head secretly. It seemed that this person surnamed Bian really did nothing good. If he followed his advice, he would use the two shooting ports to expand into a fortress early. No matter how many Japanese he had, he would only be killed!

Ask the soldiers to put down the ropes, pull themselves to the top, and then enter the interior from the dug droop hole, a castle also entered the sight.

There was a Maxim at the main shooting port, and a Czech-style tweak was strengthened at the side of the port to replenish firepower. More than a dozen boxes of bullets and some food and water were placed behind. It can be said that as long as the bullets inside were endless, the Japanese would dream to attack.

Zhao Hu looked at the position, then said to Zuo Jian: "It has to be strengthened here. Two more heavy machine guns are transferred to set aside. At the same time, the two shooting ports must be separated by sandbags. I just saw it in the warehouse and there were two Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns, all of which were brought to prepare for the war."

"But that's used to prevent Japanese bombing."

Zhao Hu pointed at the top of his head and said, "You don't even look at the terrain here. It's all high mountains and steep walls. It's useless for the Japanese plane to come. On the contrary, if the Japanese army transported the direct aiming cannon, they could blow up the shooting port with one shot!"

Zuo Arrow suddenly had his eyes lit up: "Head, do you mean to use anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot cannons? This is good, I like it!"

Zhao Hu adjusted his equipment from time to time and transported a large amount of supplies, making the defense in front almost distorted. Then he left with satisfaction and went to the back mountain to check.

Due to the gentle terrain here, Commander Ou took charge directly, but Zhao Hu knew that because the mountain roads on the periphery were difficult to travel, this place could only be used as a secondary attack point for the Japanese. Of course, even if it was secondary, nearly 2,000 Japanese troops came over, so they had to be prepared.

Several small hills around have been buried with dense landmines. Zhao Hu believes that unless the Japanese are as rich as the Americans, they will not be able to break through this mine formation without leaving behind a thousand people.

The trenches here were also dug early, and after continuous construction and reinforcement, the roof was covered and the traffic below was already solid. Therefore, as long as there were soldiers and guns, and the artillery positions on the two hills behind him were not lost, the Japanese army could not break through the thunder pool.

After careful observation for a long time, when the outside blocking troops could not stand the Japanese and began to retreat to Huangya Cave, Zhao Hu also said goodbye to Captain Ou and went to the front to prepare for battle.

I have prepared ammunition and waited for the Japanese to come to the door. This time, let's see how many corpses they are going to throw away to take over their bullets!
