The afternoon after the headquarters meeting.

The deputy chief of staff responsible for the specific defense work of the entire Huangyadong took Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Captain Wang, and Captain Cheng to the inside of the Huangyadong base area to check the specific construction status of defense fortifications.

A group of people rode several military motorcycles and passed through the narrow canyon passage smoothly. As soon as they entered the outer defense zone, they saw a middle-aged man with a thin face, leading workers from the migrant workers' corps to survey the terrain.

When he saw Kong Jie and his entourage appearing from a distance, the thin-faced man immediately stopped what he was doing and ran over. As a result, after running in front of a group of people, he was the first to respectfully greet Kong Jie.

A military salute:

"Detachment leader!"

Immediately afterwards, he saluted and greeted the deputy chief of staff and the regiment leaders.

Kong Jie smiled and said: "You are so capable, Lao Xie, you have already done all the work in the construction of our headquarters arsenal. Work hard, I am optimistic about you.

Whether you can rely on the fortifications built by our migrant workers group in the Huangyadong area to severely damage the little devils this time depends on your performance!"

But who could this thin-faced middle-aged man be if he wasn’t Xie Baoqing, the leader of a migrant workers’ regiment?

After Kong Jie said two words of praise, Xie Baoqing immediately closed his heels as if he had been given a shot of blood, saluted Kong Jie again, and replied swornly: "Please rest assured, captain, I promise to complete the task, I am not bragging.

Let’s take a look at the meticulous fortifications we built this time.

How many teams of little devils have come over, it’s not enough!”

When Kong Jie heard this, he became interested. Before he came, he had heard from the deputy chief of staff that the headquarters had adopted his previous proposal for the defense construction of Huangyadong.

However, Kong Jie did not know how well the specific defenses in the entire Huangyadong area were built.

Xie Baoqing responded immediately. They were talking about infrastructure and his own professional field. This former bandit leader no longer showed any trace of gangsterism in his body. Instead, he spoke with confidence:

"So far, from the core area of ​​our Huangyadong Arsenal to the outer defense area, the defenses in each line of defense area have basically been completed.

Including the Yongbei tunnel group, bunker group, and reverse slope fortifications, etc., ensuring that the entire Huangyadong arsenal is surrounded by traps and defenses.

As long as the little devil dares to get close, it will be difficult to move even an inch.

From the moment he entered the canyon passage of Yixiantian, the little devil had completely fallen into our trap.

Our overall defense construction emphasizes overall connectivity, single-point operations, blooming in all directions, and coordinated attack and defense.

All defense areas and positions, from defensive highlands to horizontal fortifications, from foxholes to trench fortifications, all fortifications are basically connected.

In addition, these interconnected passages are all dug under the stable ground, and the inner walls have been reinforced to achieve the level of air defense and artillery defense.

The fortifications everywhere are combined with the surrounding terrain, and both ground and underground fortifications are combined. Above the ground, we occupy the firepower high ground and build fortifications including gun towers, bunkers and the like, using reinforced concrete structures to ensure that we can attack from the extreme.

To a large extent, it withstood the Japanese artillery attack.

Below the ground, we have also built many tunnel fortifications, which are like connected passages opened by earthworms below the ground. It can even be said to be an underground battlefield.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the little devils break through and occupy all our fortifications above the ground.

Our underground fortifications can still beat him to pieces!"

Speaking of this, Xie Baoqing then pointed to the only narrow canyon passage with a skyline that Kong Jie and his party had walked through before entering Huangya Cave.

“I don’t know if you have noticed the canyon passage.

The topography of Yixiantian is unique, with the peaks on both sides rising high. Only the narrow passage in the middle is the only path that enters our Huangyadong and approaches our Huangyadong Arsenal.

Once the Japanese attack, this is the road they must take.

In accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, we have made full preparations for blasting the peaks on both sides of the entire Yixiantian Canyon.

Explosives were buried in three places on the peaks on both sides of the canyon passage. We cut out the rocks in advance and placed the explosives. Even on the steep, almost vertical cliff face, we also hoisted people down through ropes and cut through the rocks.

After the surface, the explosives are buried inside.

Using a special remote detonation method, we can ensure that the peaks on both sides collapse three times, and then use a large amount of falling rocks to completely block the entire canyon passage."

As Xie Baoqing slowly narrated, the various defense constructions and trap structures inside Huangya Cave gradually emerged in everyone's mind.

Gudong——

One of the group leaders couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. This was not the Huangyadong Mountains created by nature's miraculous craftsmanship.

It is clearly a human abyss full of traps.

Follow Xie Baoqing’s introduction.

Once the Japanese army launches an attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal, they will suddenly appear behind the narrow canyon passage in the sky. The Japanese will most likely choose to advance directly from the canyon passage to the final core area of ​​the arsenal.

What the poor little devils didn't know was that just when their team entered the narrow canyon passage of Yixiantian, a large number of explosives had been buried on the peaks on both sides, enough to completely kill all the little devils who entered the canyon after being detonated.

Buried alive.

The key is to bury it once, just when you little devil thinks it's done.

According to the special blasting methods set up by the troops led by Xie Baoqing, the mountains on both sides can actually explode a second or even a third time.

In addition, according to the deputy chief of staff's battle plan, we do not expect to directly use this explosive method to bury the little Japs alive in the canyon.

After all, the canyon passage is too narrow, so there probably won’t be many Japs entering at once.

Therefore, according to the deputy chief of staff's combat plan, all the Japanese's main combat forces will be put into the first line of sky, and the entire canyon passage will be completely sealed by blasting.

Isolate the Japanese troops entering the front line from the subsequent main combat troops, and use a move to close the door and beat the dog.

Xie Baoqing, who finally finished his explanation, went back to his busy work at the instruction of the deputy chief of staff.

Looking at the former bandit leader who quickly got into work, some cadres who knew Xie Baoqing's background were all filled with emotion.

In the words of Captain Wang: "Old Kong, what Old Li said is absolutely right. You are such a genius. Bandit leaders like Xie Baoqing can be transformed into such talents by you.

I can finally understand why your independent group has developed so rapidly in recent years!"

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Turning waste into treasure!

Our Eighth Route Army is an inclusive force, including comrades like Xie Baoqing and others who have been bandits. As long as they are not criminal pests, there is nothing wrong with giving them a chance to reform.

Sometimes these guys with special experiences may bring us extra surprises."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and then followed the deputy chief of staff all the way to the heavy artillery fortification area with the Huangyadong Base School as the core.

Then the group saw a scene that surprised them:

An old man with a white beard was standing on a small bumpkin, spittle flying everywhere, and lecturing with some scolding.

There were forty or fifty people standing under the dirt bag.

Logically speaking, this is nothing. The key is the team of forty or fifty people, who listened to the old man's instructions like a good grandson, and the few faces standing at the front.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie are no strangers to him.

Especially when he saw the two figures at the front, Li Yunlong's eyes almost dropped to the ground in surprise.

"Hey, dear, isn't that the commander of the artillery regiment at our headquarters and the section chief of the artillery section at our headquarters? Who is the old man in front? Who dares to drink in front of them?"<

/p>

When the group got a little closer, they heard the old man's scolding, which seemed to be related to artillery technology.

Kong Jie, leader of Li Yun Dragon King, and his party were even more stunned.

Is it possible that among the Eighth Route Army troops, with their artillery skills, there are still people who can stand in front of the commander of the artillery regiment at the headquarters and the veteran artillery regiment Commander Wu?

The deputy chief of staff introduced with a smile: "Don't be surprised. Even if Lao Wu is the head of the Artillery Regiment of our Eighth Route Army's headquarters, he should be scolded by the old man in front of him.

I'm afraid you don't know how powerful the old man in front of you is.

This old man's name is Lin Weiquan. He was born in 1890 in Shandong. He is 62 this year. He comes from a family of artillery. His grandfather was an artillery officer of the Qing army. His father was also an artillery officer. He also shelled the British and French forces at Dagukou.

It's amazing for him. When Yuan Datou was training at the small station, he was an artillery officer. He fought with the revolutionary army. After the warlords fought in melee, he was the chief artillery instructor under various marshals.

Later, he also helped the 29th Route Army to fight against the Japanese. Over the years, warlords have been fighting, and the people have been in dire straits, especially the inaction of the national government, which cannot unite to fight against Japan.

In anger, the old man moved to the Taihang Mountains and set up a private school. With his three sons and his wife, he farmed his own land and taught the children of nearby villagers how to read and read.

Later, the headquarters accidentally inquired about the situation, and the division commander wrote a letter in person, inviting Mr. Lin to join the Eighth Route Army in the Anti-Japanese War. He even invited him in person, which was more exaggerated than visiting the thatched cottage three times, so he invited the man over."

Li Yunlong said in surprise: "It's amazing. This old man is so prestigious that even the teacher had to go and invite him several times in person before he came out!"

"Is this old comrade really so capable?" Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows and expressed doubt.

The deputy chief of staff laughed and said: "I don't know how capable you are.

But what I can be sure of is, Li Yunlong, if you dare to cause trouble and get in front of this old man, he will dare to hit you with a cane.

If your kid dares to fight back, would you believe it?

The boss will send you to the cooking class the next day to take the blame!"

Li Yunlong: "..."

I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you, this is too honorable.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff continued: "After deciding to join our Eighth Route Army in resisting Japan.

The old man sold all his property and bought a few cows, 500 hens, 100 pigs, and a batch of white flour and millet. In addition, he also gave 20 small yellow croakers to the troops.

Then he took his three sons and his wife to join the Eighth Route Army."
