Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 502: Lao Ding is talking nonsense. The militia must not move. Let him transfer people from o

Huang Daya certainly understood this truth. After losing more than 20,000 brothers under his command, the Japanese would not take him seriously and would not be merciful when killing him. But he also knew that if he did not follow Fujimizu Ichiro's request, he would most likely be killed on the spot by Fujimizu Ichiro. He knew that these men in front of him were more afraid of death than the others, and they would immediately obey once they were threatened by the Japanese.

"Brothers, I really can't help you this time. The Grand Master has just given me an ultimatum. Anyone who dares to disobey orders and escape will be killed. The Grand Master ordered me to form a supervisory team to deal with deserters. Outside the supervisory team, there is another supervisory team of the Grand Master. With two supervisory teams, one inside and one outside, we can be sure of nothing going wrong."

"I know that all of you brothers have your own little thoughts in mind, and you want to fool us again, but this time it is really hard to fool us. You still have to show your attitude and be prepared to lose half of your troops. We must let the Lord see our determination, so that we can preserve our position."

"As for the lack of men, you can just conscript able-bodied men. You can immediately arrange your confidants to go to the countryside to conscript able-bodied men and use them as cannon fodder. This is also a good solution. Anyway, I have already given you the idea. As for whether you are willing to do it or not, that is your business. I can only tell you this time that the Grand Master is serious. Don't curse me when you are at the critical moment of life and death. I have already done everything I should do and pointed out a clear path for you. As for whether you will do it or not, it is up to you to decide."

More than a dozen puppet army commanders looked at Huang Daya's departing back with somewhat unnatural expressions on their faces. They originally wanted Huang Daya to go to the Japanese and beg for mercy, but from Huang Daya's performance, it seemed that the Japanese were really determined this time, and they deserved respect since they were powerless to resist.

As for the strategy Huang Daya suggested to them, no one did it. The civilians within a hundred miles had already been relocated by the devils. Even if they wanted to capture people, they would not be able to do it in a short time. Moreover, if they left now, they would probably be labeled as deserters and used by the devils as an example. It would be better to launch an attack honestly, and maybe they could find a chance to get away.

A dozen people looked at each other, gathered in groups of three or four, returned to their own troops, and began to call their confidants to make careful arrangements.

Three hours later, Fujimizu Ichiro organized hundreds of death squads, mobilized 6000 people, and launched an attack on the three fortresses. Ding Wei, who was in charge of the front-line position operations, arrived at Fortress No. 12 before noon and calmly commanded the defensive operations. Ding Wei had anticipated the night attack by the Japanese, turned on the backup generator, and the huge searchlight quickly lit up, which immediately revealed the whereabouts of the Japanese and puppet army death squads who were preparing for the night attack.

"Damn it, the damned Japs are so cunning that they actually launched a night attack. Fortunately, I anticipated it in advance, otherwise the Japs' conspiracy might have succeeded. Inform the brothers on the battlefield to fight hard for me, throw the grenades out as hard as possible, and kill all the damned puppet troops and Japs for me."

Ding Wei's order was quickly conveyed to the three fortresses. The soldiers stationed in the fortresses acted quickly. Various fire points opened fire quickly. A large number of grenades were thrown out, causing great trouble to the Japanese.

Under the pressure of the rear supervision team, the death squads composed of the Japanese and puppet troops did not retreat, but rushed forward one after another. Eight death squads miraculously rushed to the vicinity of the bunkers and successfully blew up six bunkers with explosive packs in their hands. Two bunkers suffered heavy damage, and more than 50 soldiers inside were all killed.

These lucky Japanese soldiers did not survive. Ding Wei quickly dispatched a assault team to take over and annihilate this suicide squad that had managed to achieve victory by chance.

"Your Excellency General, our night raid tonight did not achieve much success. We only blew up 14 enemy fortresses in total. Among the 6000 suicide squad members we sent out, only 2000 survived, and the remaining 4000 were all killed. None of the enemy's fortress artillery was destroyed. This method of attack is very disadvantageous to us. Our casualties reached in one day's attack. We cannot continue to fight like this, otherwise it is likely that we will be left with only a few men before we conquer the enemy's fortress fortifications." Ichiro Kuroda persuaded in a low voice.

Fujimizu Ichiro was very unwilling, but he knew that what Kuroda Ichiro said was the truth. Such tactics were not suitable for the current battlefield at all. Before the enemy's fortress artillery was dealt with, it would be difficult to conquer the fortress in front of him no matter how many troops he used. He could only rely on the aviation force. As for the heavy artillery in his hand, he did not dare to use it at all. The reason was very simple. The range of the heavy artillery was not as long as that of the fortress artillery. If an artillery battle really broke out, his heavy artillery troops would not be an opponent at all.

"Kuroda-kun, immediately order all units to stop the night raid tonight. I need to contact the headquarters immediately to request tactical guidance. Before the headquarters issues a new order, the reconnaissance of the enemy's fortresses must not stop. We must inform the aviation unit of the firepower points we have discovered and have them use their fighter planes to destroy these firepower points."

Fujimizu Ichiro's telegram was quickly sent to the Taiyuan headquarters, causing an uproar. Shinozuka Yoshio changed the combat order again, giving Sato's Air Division more time and requiring them to destroy the enemy's fortress before mid-June.

In order to gain more assistance, Shinozuka Yoshio reported the situation of the Zhaojiayu base without any concealment this time. After seeing the telegram sent by Shinozuka Yoshio, the first thought of the Japanese North China Front Army and the headquarters was that this must be a fake. They immediately sent people to verify the matter. After confirming that it was true, they agreed to Shinozuka Yoshio's request and urgently transferred two divisions from the colony, even 15-16-year-old children were not spared. Finally, 50,000 people were gathered and would arrive in Taiyuan City before the end of June to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Zhaojiayu base.

In terms of aviation, the Japanese headquarters mobilized 60 pilots and 300 pilots, also known as the Kwantung Army, and some fighters were drawn from the mainland. In addition, they rejected the support request of the North China Front Army and mobilized a total of 292 fighters, which will arrive in Taiyuan City in the next half month. A batch of fuel and ammunition was also urgently mobilized and transported to Jinling by naval transport ships by water, and then by rail to ensure that they arrived before the end of June.

After receiving the promise from the headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly became confident. He immediately ordered the troops on the front line to build three blockade lines to cut off the supply of materials between the Zhaojiayu base and the outside world.

"College student, Lao Ding just sent an urgent telegram. The Japanese launched a night attack tonight, destroyed 14 of our fortresses, and caused nearly 200 casualties in total. The only good news is that our 20 fortress guns are intact, and the Japanese conspiracy did not succeed. The bad news is that after fighting all day and consuming a lot of ammunition, we killed no more than 800 Japanese, and most of the dead and wounded were puppet troops."

"Old Ding believes that the Japanese have changed their tactics significantly and want to use puppet troops to consume our ammunition. It is not ruled out that the Japanese will capture civilians nearby and force us to leave the fortress for a decisive battle. We should be prepared in advance."

"Old Kong has greatly increased the production of tanks and armored vehicles in accordance with Old Ding's request. If the Japanese really use civilians as a threat, we can directly dispatch armored forces to rescue the captured civilians. This is also the only way to reduce our losses at present."

"The plague in the base has shown signs of breaking out again in the past few days. Lao Kong suspects that it must be the devils again. After receiving the intelligence we sent back, Lao Kong has strengthened the base's vigilance, but still has not found any suspicious persons."

"In order to prevent the Yamamoto special forces from sneaking in, Lao Kong formed two patrol battalions and began to patrol the entire base around the clock. But even so, Lao Kong was still a little worried. At the beginning, it was impossible for the Japanese to find the flaws in the patrol team. But as time went on, it was very likely that the Japanese would find a loophole. This matter gave Lao Kong a headache, and he planned to dispatch a group of militiamen to strengthen the guard of the base." Li Yunlong said with a grim expression.

Lin Zhenhua replied in a worried tone: "Old Kong's mobilization of the militia is a risky move. The purpose of establishing the militia is to protect the village and buy time for the reinforcement of the troops. If a large number of militias are withdrawn, it is very likely to pose a huge threat to the safety of the village. Once the Japanese special forces sneak into the village to carry out assassinations, it will cause panic in the entire base."

"At present, the military strength of our base is still relatively sufficient. We can definitely draw some people from the garrison to carry out this task. After the reorganization, the number of our infantry battalions is about 800, which can be reduced to 600. We only need to draw one company from each battalion to quickly guard the various intersections of the base. By then, even if the Yamamoto special forces have great abilities, they will not be able to get in."

"Compared to the threat on the ground, the most terrifying is the threat from the air. Our radar must be turned on 24 hours a day. We must not give the Japanese air force any chance to launch a sneak attack!"
