The shelter of the core layer of Fuliangshan Fortress.

Zhao Gang, Lao Gou and Xu Yougeng are counting the seized spoils.

Lao Gou dipped his fingers and opened the book, and said while writing: "In other words, a total of 41 Type 38 rifles, eight Southern Type 14 pistols, and three Type 96 machine guns were seized?"

"Oh, there are more than 5,000 plated rifle bullets with a caliber of 6.5mm?"

"It's not bad, our supply department has accumulated more than 20,000 bullets."

The original inventory of the Independent Corps included 300,000 6.5mm rifle bullets and 200,000 7.7mm rifle bullets.

However, after the whole was broken into pieces, the 500,000 bullets were allocated to more than 100 shifts, and each shift could actually receive only more than 4,000 less than 5,000 bullets.

There are also Type 97 grenades, and each class got about twenty.

The Type 91 grenades were not evenly distributed, and only infantry squads equipped with grenade cans were given. A total of 60 squads were assigned to grenade cans, and each group was given twenty grenades.

The remaining 8,000 grenade grenades remained in the warehouse of the supply department.

From this we can see how poor the Eighth Route Army is. The Independent Regiment is already considered wealthy, and that's just this little bit of family background.

This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army rarely fought tough battles during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t afford it.

Lao Gou sent a floating brand cigarette to Xu Yougeng and smiled and said, "Yougeng, you performed well this time, and continue next time."

"What's the point of seizure?" Xu Yougeng said, "The Japanese will definitely launch a larger-scale attack next. I will directly give you 100,000 bullets."

"One hundred thousand hairs?" Lao Gou said, "Just blow."

While he was talking, Wang Ye walked in with a serious expression.

"Company Commander Xu, the second wave of the Japanese attack has begun."

After saying this, Wang Ye said again: "The Japanese attack was no better than before. They invested four infantry squadrons at once, and launched centripetal attacks from sixteen channels in units of squads at the same time."

"Ah?" Xu Yougeng's face immediately collapsed when he heard this.

The Japanese attacked from sixteen channels at the same time, which means that the guard company had to be divided into sixteen routes, so how could they be beaten? There was only one squad of troops left in each route. What should I use to block a small team of the Japanese?

Even if you set up a map of Tianluo in the tunnel, you can't stop the Japanese attack.

This is not an imperial tomb, and there are not so many mechanisms for the imperial tomb.

The so-called step-by-step mechanism is full of traps and is made up.

Zhao Gang also realized the seriousness of the problem and said in a deep voice: "I will immediately organize all the left-behind personnel of the regiment headquarters to participate in this battle."

After saying that, Zhao Gang also took out his pistol.

"Political Commissar, don't participate in the battle." After Wang Ye said that, he said to Xu Yougeng, "Company Commander Xu, your guard company only needs to guard the four passageways at the core level."

"Leave the rest to our Wolf Warrior Squadron."

"We will harass the devils from behind."

"Anyway, the devils will never attack unscrupulously."

"Yes!" Xu Yougeng agreed and shouted loudly.

"The first row leader, you take the first shift, and the second shift to the first channel."

"President of the second platoon, you will take Class 4 and Class 5 to Passage 2."

"The third platoon leader, you will take the seventh squad and eighth to the third channel."

"Second three and six, you can go to Channel 4 with me."

Zhao Gang immediately said: "Second Ninth follows me as a reserve team and is ready to support at any time."

On the other side, Wang Ye also gave orders to Wei Dayong and Lu Changsheng. Lu Changsheng led a combat team to stay at the core level of the fortress to ensure the safety of the regiment headquarters. Wang Ye and Wei Dayong led two other teams to fight.

...

Outside the Fuliang Mountain, the Japanese army's frontier observation post.

Miyano Daoyi was paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Maori Hirohiro, Jiro Onoda and several other captains and even the wing captains moved back and forth with Miyano Doichi.

At this moment, there were many Japanese officers gathered here.

There are eight squadron leaders in total, plus one artillery corps captain.

Time passed slowly in a suffocating waiting. The sun rose to the middle of the sky, and after noon, it began to set westward and became powerless.

Miyano Dao suddenly paused under his feet.

I raised my watch to look at the time, it was already 2:30 pm.

The Maori Brigade launched an attack at 10 a.m., and it has been four and a half hours since then. However, the four infantry squadrons entering the Fuliangshan Fortress still have no news.

At this time, it was not only Miyanoji that felt twice as anxious.

Officers such as Maori Hirohiro also felt anxious.

The main reason is that I can't see the battle scene and don't know what's going on inside?

"Second Commander." Hirohiro Mori said in a deep voice, "Or what if four more infantry squadrons are sent in?"

"No." The corps leader who was carrying the rank of Nakazo said, "Without understanding the internal structure of the fortress, you must not rashly invest in brigade-level troops to launch a general attack."

He paused and said, "After all, there are only three infantry gathered at the Fuliang Mountain Fortress. If two brigades are lost in a row, it will be difficult to maintain the siege of Fuliang Mountain."

Maori Hirohiro said in a deep voice: "Maybe the four infantry squadrons that broke into the fortress are in trouble. At this time, sending four infantry squadrons will just rescue them. If we don't send reinforcements, maybe these four infantry squadrons will be really broken."

"You can't send reinforcements!"

"I think reinforcements must be sent!"

Several officers were divided into two factions and had no disputes.

Miyano Doichi also felt a little undecided.

At this moment, Masahen Matsumoto, who had been observing behind the artillery mirror, suddenly shouted: "Teacher Commander, come out, the infantry that broke into the fortress has come out!"

"Nani? Finally coming out?"

"Let me see, how many people have come back?"

"Have Fuliangshan Fortress been taken down?"

Officers such as Hirohiro Mori immediately turned around and raised their telescopes again.

Miyano Doichi pushed Masaki Matsumoto and got behind the cannon mirror as fast as possible.

With the help of the cannon mirror, Miyanoji saw at a glance that teams of Japanese soldiers were scrambling to escape from the four passageways on the east side of the Fuliangshan Fortress.

Seeing this scene, Miyano Doichi's face immediately collapsed.

Maori Hirohiro and several other team captains, and the team captain was also shady.

This doesn’t look like winning a battle? It’s obviously a big defeat!

The defeated soldiers quickly retreated under the cover of four chariot teams.

The four infantry squadrons of more than 800 Japanese soldiers who entered the Fuliangshan Fortress, only more than 300 were able to escape back alive, and the remaining more than 500 were unable to return alive.

A sergeant, a sergeant and a captain were called to Miyano Doichi.

"Okamoto-kun!" Hirohiro Mori's eyes fell on the captain. This was the squadron leader of the Fourth Infantry Squadron of the Maori Brigade, Yoshio Okamoto, "What's going on?"

"Captain!" Okamoto Yoshio paused to Hirohiro Mori and replied, "After entering the fortress, the passage became narrower and narrower, more and more forks, and there were various traps and mines along the way."

"I often walk around and encounter a pit with sharp bamboo nails all over the bottom."

"Or maybe a sharp bayonet suddenly pops out of the holes spreading over the tunnel walls."

"The thing I hate the most is the grenade. I don't know which hole I will suddenly throw a grenade in."

"Every time we move forward, we have to pay a price of bleeding, but with the unbeatable Bushido spirit, we still move forward with great strides."

"There is a long section of authenticity in the middle that looks like a maze."

“It took us a long time to finally find the rule to get out of the maze.”

"Then we encountered an authentic tunnel that was absolutely insurmountable."

"A tunnel that is absolutely impossible to conquer?" Mori Hirohiro said in a deep voice, "What kind of tunnel is this?"

Yoshio Okamoto took out a pencil, took out a notebook, and drew a trumpet shape in the notebook. The pointed end was a trumpet mouth, but it bent to one side.

On the other end is an open trumpet.

Yoshio Okamoto pointed to the trumpet and said, "The Eighth Route Army built two heavy machine gun firepower points in this position. Crossing left and right can form cross firepower to the trumpet mouth."

"And the Imperial Army can only launch an attack from the trumpet."

"Because the tunnel is too narrow, you can only expand two people at a time."

"In other words, the Imperial Army can only launch attacks in groups of two people."

"So, unless the engineers can broaden the attack channel, this tunnel entrance cannot be conquered, and no matter how many imperial troops are sacrificed, they cannot be conquered."

Mori Hirohiro turned his attention to the chief of sergeant again: "Sawajirikun?"
