The little mulch gradually descended, and the dim sunlight reflected on the water surface of Jiaozhou Bay, and a "travel" ripples appeared.

At the central fortress of Qingdao, Colonel Thorpair, who was inspecting, kept twitching his right eyelid. According to China, twitching right eye does not bode well.

Maybe it’s because of excessive mental tension!

Colonel Thorssor received German higher education and naturally did not have any superstitions, but many times, he still had to believe in the intuition of soldiers.

"What's going on in each fortress?"

The adjutant replied: "As of the past few days, everything was normal and no abnormalities occurred!"

Colonel Thorpair nodded and said, "It is an extraordinary time now. The Chinese team may attack us at any time. We cannot take it lightly!"

The deputy nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Governor General. The fortresses around Qingdao will contact each other every hour, and the patrol cavalry will be on duty continuously. If there is any surprise incident, I will notify you as soon as possible!"

Colonel Thorpair nodded and said, "That's good! By the way, have the Russian army arranged it?"

The adjutant replied: "The Russian army is temporarily arranged in Qingwu City. If the fight is really started, let them guard Jiaozhou Bay!"

Colonel Thorpair nodded. He did not trust the Russian army from beginning to end, so he had to make such arrangements.

A team of German cavalrymen went over from outside the woods on the east side of Maultic Mountain, and a soldier covered in the grass next to the road, covered with a usual gray cloth strip and a camouflage strip on his face.

After looking around, he turned around and made some gestures to the woods, and then more than a hundred people in the same dress rushed out of the woods.

They were the Emperor Qin Royal Imperial Guards' Special Forces Brigade, which penetrated deep into the Qingdao Fortress defense system. The leader of the first squadron leader Colonel Hao Zhigang.

"map!"

Hao Zhiwang reached out to take the map, opened it, compared with the surrounding landforms, and then gestured on the map.

"Communication Soldier!"

"Come!" The communication soldier carrying heavy communication equipment hurriedly rushed over with his body.

"direction!"

The communications soldier took out something similar to a later satellite receiving device and slowly turned around to search for German radio signals.

Suddenly, the communication soldiers' ear formation was noisy and immediately pointed at the east side.

"Report! There are a large number of enemy yarn signals in the east!"

Colonel Hao Zhiwang immediately compared the map. According to the hook on the map, it was the German army's No. 3 Fortress, and according to the mark of the First Army of Emperor Qin, it was called the Central Fortress.

Hao Zhiwang said: "The information is right, the Central Fortress is the German command center!"

"Telecommand!"

"arrive!"

“How long will it take?”

The telegraph soldier reported: "Every hour, the German army would contact each position by phone. It has been fifty-five minutes since the last contact!"

Hao Zhiwang nodded and ordered: "Group One, two, cut off all the telephone lines here to the outside world in six minutes!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

"Three groups, four groups, immediately seize the commanding heights on both sides and the left and right, and shoot the passing cavalry!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

"Signal Soldier!"

"arrive!"

"Signal flare in six minutes!"

"yes!"

Fort No. 3 is the Central Fortress (the German army said that the Third Infantry Fortress is located on the high ground at the intersection of Zhenjiang Road and Beizhong Road, with an altitude of 5 meters. The fortress is called the Central Fortress because it is located in the center of the German main defense line.

In front of the fortress is an open area with a good view. Once the Chinese team attacks here, it will be convenient for the German army to organize artillery counterattacks. At the same time, it can also receive side-fire fire support from the East Fortress of Taitung Town and the North Fortress of Xiaozhanshan.

Therefore, the German army's defense is not very strong. Judging from the forces and weapons provided by the German army here, the size of the fortress is slightly smaller than that of other infantry fortresses on both sides. (Some data say that this is the largest frontier fortress of the German army, so there is no debate on this) The German army's ground defense focus is on the two wings, and the artillery group arranged on the high ground of Taitung Town can easily support the three fortresses on the front.

However, infantry fortresses on both wings are more difficult, and the flanks of the fortress are close to the seaside, which lack natural barriers to cover them, and are easily attacked by enemy side-fired artillery fire.

In response, the German army deployed a large number of soldiers and mobile firepower at Xiaozhanshan Fortress (No. 1) and Coast Fortress (No. 5), focusing on defense on both ends of the main defense line.

The big crab's defense strategy, this kind of defense is the characteristic of the German army's deployment at the frontier of infantry, and the same is true for the Pearl Harbor Fortress.

In addition, the surroundings of the No. 3 infantry fortress were surrounded by two wire mesh belts, and the entire fortress was slightly triangular. The depth width of the wire mesh belt was meters and the height was meters. The first wire mesh belt was brick meters away from the frontier fortifications of the German army, the altitude of the defense wall was 56 meters lower than the frontier fortifications of the German army, and the second wire mesh belt was meter away from the frontier fortifications of the German army. The altitude of the defense wall was lower than the frontier fortifications of the German army.

Due to the terrain, the wire mesh belt on the north side of the fort can only be laid in the low-lying parts of the mountain. Moreover, the terrain at the outer wire mesh is slightly higher than the inside due to the soil being excavated, which may have an impact on the observation of the German army. In addition, there are two deep trenches in the fortress with a depth of 43 meters and a bottom width of 2 meters surround both sides of the large shielding part. They meet at the widest side of the fortress in front of the door of the shielding part and face the eastern front edge. There is a small path leading to the mountain to the southwest of the wire mesh belt.

The front line of the fortress is steep meters long and the side line of the fire is old. The German army built a large and three small cover in the central fortress. The large orange hall is built with reinforced concrete ten structures and is located on the west side of the high building. The entire building is covered with cannons. The army from the northeast cannot see the German cover at all.

However, in the face of the situation where the Emperor Qin 6th Army had all the air superiority, these German fortifications were completely explored by Emperor Qin reconnaissance planes, and there was no secret at all.

In order to ensure the situation of the German positions, the First Army conducted uninterrupted aerial reconnaissance during the day and sent scouts to monitor the German movements at night; the purpose of closely monitoring the weather in Duolian.

The shielding part is a two-story building with a floor of 5 large rooms. The walls are meter thick, each with an area of ​​about 6 square meters, with a total area of ​​3 doors and 4 windows facing west. There is a small fort about meter on the east side of the fortress, with a wall thickness of meter and 2 rooms inside, with a total of more than meter square meters. There is a small shielding part about four meters northeast of the large shielding part, which is both a semi-underground building. The area and door and window layout of the building are basically the same as the small shielding part on the east side.

Behind the large shelter is a small underground building, with a single room and a single door, with an area of ​​about square meters and an unknown purpose. It may be the German ammunition depot.

The Emperor and Qin army had a lot of effort to investigate the German ammunition depot, but there was still no information.

"Report! Scouts have found mines everywhere in front of the central fortress!"

"What? There are landmines here?" Hao Zhiwang suddenly became a few circles.

"Yes! It's all over the mountains and fields! It's all electronically controlled mines!"

"Communication Soldier!"

"arrive!"

"Immediately send the command to the command center, and it has been confirmed that the German command is in the central fortress! The coordinates are corrected to a knife, telling them that the central fortress does not have strong firepower and defense, but there is German counter-sloping firepower support on both sides. The electronically controlled anti-infantry mine formation in front of the formation is widely distributed in the frontier. It is not suitable for infantry to charge directly. It is recommended to capture the left and right fortress turrets first! It's over!"

"yes!"

"Five groups, six groups, dig anti-aircraft holes immediately. The shells don't have eyes, so don't transfer us together!"

"receive!"

Looking at the open space in front of the Central Fortress, if the Emperor* team attacked directly from here, the electronically controlled detonated mines below would undoubtedly kill countless imperial soldiers. Thinking of this, Hao Zhiwang cursed: "What a lunatic. Landmines are buried at his doorstep."

The German army was forced to bury landmines at their own door, but they buried electronically controlled landmines. Naturally, they would not blew their own people.

The First Army Headquarters is busy and busy, and the attack is about to begin. This period is the most irritating time.

"Report! The commandos of each regiment have entered the pre-order position!"

"Order the groups to keep the phone connected and wait for the attack order!"

"yes!"

"Report! The army's direct artillery brigade has been like, and the correction of the elements has been completed!"

“Revise it again!”

"yes!"

"Report! The Second Artillery Mixed Independent Brigade Report, the shooting elements have been corrected!"

Luo Hai" looked at Liu Dongxu next to him. Liu Dongxu raised his head, which means you are the commander-in-chief. What do you think of me?

Luo Haichuan waved his hand and ordered: "Keep the phone on. Communication is unobstructed!"

"yes!"

After all, the Second Artillery is not directly affiliated to the First Army. Although they are both imperial combat sequences and serve both empires, after all, there are also some methods that need to be paid attention to between the troops, and they have been corrected several times. There must be a degree.

"Report! The Meimeng Special War Team called back. Locked the German General Command, right in the Central Fortress!"

Luo Haichuan hurriedly took the telegram, looked carefully, and exclaimed: "The Imperial Guard is the Imperial Guard, and the German command position will be confirmed at once!"

Lieutenant General Liu Dongxu said happily: "Congratulations. The first round of attacks was to destroy the German General Command. Then he was undoubtedly half of the victory.

Luo Haichuan smiled and said, "The terrain of the central fortress is relatively short, with the fortress in front, and the distance is far. It seems that this is a good thing for you, your second artillery, are here to get it!"

Liu Dongxu was obviously very happy and hurriedly said, "Give orders quickly! I am also preparing to observe the first fortress battle of the empire!"

Luo Haichuan nodded, picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and said, "Order, all the firepower of the second artillery is adjusted to the German Central Fortress, the coordinates are ugly, and waiting for the attack order! Repeat it for me!"

"Yes!" Huang Xing repeated loudly over there.

Put down the phone, Lieutenant General Luo Hai quietly looked at the dim sky outside, waiting for that moment to arrive.

"Report! Signal flares are available!"

Suddenly, Luo Haichuan's eyes narrowed and he saw three colorful signal flares slowly rising from the sky in the distance.

Then he picked up the phone, and at this moment, Lieutenant General Luo Haichuan suddenly calmed down and said:

"I am Luo Haichuan! I order! The total attack begins!"

"The total attack begins!"
To be continued...
