Chapter 285 Fuliangshan Fortress
Yan Xishan wanted to discuss this matter with Yoshio Iwamatsu, but he couldn't hide it at all.
Because the Japanese didn't want to hide it at all, they told Yan Xishan to negotiate secretly, but on the other hand, they were promoting it everywhere, with the purpose of forcing Yan Xishan to not tolerate Chongqing.
In this case, Yan Xishan had no choice but to defect to the Japanese government.
So now, not only Chongqing knows it, but the Eighth Route Army is also aware of this.
But Yoshio Iwamatsu obviously thought the problem too simply, and Yan Xishan was not that easy to deal with.
In any case, Yan Xishan is a person who claims to be "can dance on three eggs". He had already greeted Chongqing and even the Eighth Route Army before he contacted Yoshio Iwamatsu.
Yan Xishan’s idea is that peace talks with Japan are just to delay time.
As for what Yan Xishan’s real intention was, I’m afraid only he himself knew.
But Chu Yunfei firmly believed that his elder Yan Xishan would never surrender to the Japanese.
"That's good." Liang Gang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought Brother Yun Fei, you were going to fight with the Independent Group now. In this case, the only thing that would be happy is the Japanese in northwest Shanxi."
"The Jinsui Army will definitely not go to war with the Eighth Route Army now."
"Our 358th Regiment will never go to war with the independent regiment."
"Even now is the weakest time for the Independence Group."
Chu Yunfei said: "Even if the war is about to start, we have to wait until the Japanese are defeated."
"Our 358 Group will never do such things as the relatives are hurt and the enemy is happy."
"That's right." Liang Gangdao, "I don't care about other troops, but our 94th Brigade will never clash with the Eighth Route Army before the Japanese were killed."
While the two were talking, Wang Ye came back.
"Brig Commander Liang, Commander Chu, I'm sorry."
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Let you two wait for a long time."
Chu Yunfei pulled his gloves and asked with a smile: "Captain Wang, now you can always take us to the regiment headquarters of your group? If you go around like this, you will be tired, and we will be even more tired."
"Captain Chu, you really wronged me."
Wang Ye is still calm when he talks lies now.
"How dare I take you two commanders in circles?"
"It's just that something happened on the road, so I can only take a detour."
"A little situation?" Liang Gang smiled, "Is it really just a little situation? The whole northwestern Shanxi is drought and rainy, and mountain torrents actually occurred in Fuliang Mountains, which is really rare."
Wang Ye said without changing his face: "This is indeed rare."
Chu Yunfei smiled sneered and said, "Then let's go."
"Please ask for the Commander Chu, Brigade Commander Liang." Wang Ye turned around and sterned his hands.
As Chu Yunfei expected, they soon arrived at the place this time.
From a distance, I saw Li Yunlong waiting for them with his hands on his back.
As soon as they met, Li Yunlong scolded Wang Ye and said, "Xiao Wang, what's going on with you? Commander Chu and Brigade Commander Liang are not outsiders, so why should you take them around the mountains? Om?"
"Brother Yunlong, forget it." Chu Yunfei sneered.
I thought to myself, these two guys are not right in the right way to sing double acts?
He also said: "Captain Wang is also to ensure your safety."
"Brother Chu, you really wronged me." Li Yunlong said.
"This kid Wang Ye has always liked to act on his own, and many times I don't speak well."
"Our Eighth Route Army is different from your Jinsui Army. Our Eighth Route Army emphasizes intra-party democracy. It's okay to talk about wars. My regiment commander doesn't count on other things, it's really true."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ye said with a dark face: "Captain, I am responsible for the security of the regiment headquarters. Although you are the regiment commander, you cannot infringe on my power."
Li Yunlong said: "Brother Yunfei, look, look?"
Chu Yunfei really didn't want to watch the show anymore, so he asked: "Brother Yunlong, is this your regiment headquarters? It looks like it is a military fortress that has not been completed yet?"
"Brother Yunfei is from Huangpu and has good eyesight."
Li Yunlong said: "This is the Fuliang Mountain Fortress, my regiment headquarters is inside."
"Didn't Brother Yunfei and Brigade Commander Liang come to see us? Old Li thinks this place is worth seeing."
"Fuliangshan Fortress?" Chu Yunfei snorted twice and said, "Brother Yunlong, look at this posture, your independent regiment should abandon the previous mobile combat ideas and instead fight for the fortress defense with the Japanese army?"
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "It's not just a fortress defense."
Liang Gang and Chu Yunfei looked at each other and said, "I hope to hear the details."
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Brig Commander Liang, Brother Yun Fei, I'm going to hide it from you. These are all valuable experiences summarized from the Battle of Shuiyao Mountain. Faced with the fortress hidden in the deep mountains, the Japanese actually don't have many solutions to deal with it."
"After all, the heavy equipment of the Japanese is also subject to restrictions on roads and terrain."
"So when the Japanese enter the mountains to sweep, we can leave a unit to hold on to the fortress."
"The main force jumped to the outside line to fight and stumbled on the Japanese's logistics supply line. When the Japanese were exhausted, they would attack the Japanese inside and outside to give them a ruthless person and eat them!"
"In the Battle of Shuiyaoshan, our 386th Brigade was short of troops."
"If I had the strength of a division in my hand, the 40,000 Japanese who entered the mountain to sweep the mountain would be back."
Chu Yunfei looked at Liang Gang again, thinking that you, Li Yunlong, are really bragging and not making drafts. You dare to say such a big talk as 40,000 Japanese troops? Do you really think the Japanese are just made of paper?
The 40,000 Japanese soldiers are almost the strength of two B divisions!
Not to mention a mere division, it would be impossible to eat even if the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was gathered together.
Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Of course, our independent regiment has less than a thousand troops now, and the Fuliangshan Fortress cannot be compared with Shuiyao Mountain, so it is definitely impossible to deal with so many Japanese devils."
"But if it's only three to five thousand Japanese devils, then our independent group will not be left alone."
Speaking of the two numbers three or five thousand, Li Yunlong looked at Chu Yunfei and his tone was even stronger.
Then he paused and added: "Of course, not only the Japanese, but if there are other unsightly troops coming to find us, our independent regiment will not be polite."
Hearing this, Chu Yunfei hummed twice again, his face a little unnatural.
Which other unit that is not eye-opening? It's almost obvious that it is their 358th Regiment.
Chu Yunfei felt that some things had to be said clearly to Li Yunlong to avoid misunderstandings.
Chu Yunfei said at the moment: "Brother Yunlong, Chu has a few heartfelt words to you. I hope Brother Yunlong can listen patiently."
He paused and said, "I know that there is a recent legend that Chief Yan is going to negotiate with Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the 1st Japanese Army who had just arrived at the office. There are even rumors that the Jinsui Army would surrender to the Japanese as a puppet army as a whole."
"Brother Yunlong, I can tell you with certainty now that it is all a rumor."
"In fact, these are all conspiracies and tricks made by the Japanese. Their intention is nothing more than to discard the relationship between Chief Yan and the principal, so that Chief Yan is not tolerated in Chongqing."
"In short, the Jinsui Army cannot treason."
"I, Chu Yunfei, will be even more unlikely to betray the nation!"
"Brother Yunlong just lets you mind this."
Chu Yunfei means that I will not attack the Independence Group.
At least not now, so you, Li Yunlong, don't have to be suspicious.
"Oh, I, Li Yunlong, are certainly ten thousand at ease with Brother Chu's character."
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "But, since Brother Chu has said this today, I, Li Yunlong, really have a small question. I hope Brother Chu can talk to me."
After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "The plays say, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?"
"You guys have placed the most elite 1st battalion in Lijia Town. Is this a bit inappropriate?"
Li Yunlong didn't want to play with Chu Yunfei any flower guns, so he just made the words clear. If you say I'm relieved, I'll feel at ease?
If you want me to rest assured, you can withdraw your 1st battalion stationed in Lijia Town and don’t always wander in front of me, so as not to stop me from taking a bite one day.
That will hurt your feelings, right?
"What do I think is this?"
Chu Yunfei grunted and said, "Brother Yunlong, you misunderstood."
"The reason I transferred my 1st battalion to Lijia Town is actually for your own good."
"Brother Yunlong, do you remember the scene when your Independent Group broke through the Xinzhou Basin?"
"At that time, your entire independent regiment was only less than 500 people left, and there were only a few weapons and ammunition left."
"At that time, Chu was really worried that you would not be able to gain a foothold in the northwest of Shanxi. At that time, I thought to myself, what if the Japanese army entered Fuliang Mountain to sweep the country at this time, what would you do if your independent regiment?"
"Because of this, I transferred the 1st Battalion to Lijia Town."
"In this way, if the Japanese swept the enemy, they can support the independent group."
"Oh, so that's the case." Li Yunlong said with a smile.
"I'll just say that your brother Chu is an open-minded person and will never do such a dirty thing as stabbing him in the back. In this way, it's really my old Li who misunderstood you, Brother Chu."
Chu Yunfei grunted and looked a little embarrassed.
Even if Li Yunlong scolded him for being dirty in person, he could only bear it.
Who made him Chu Yunfei really do something about stabbing him in the back?
But then again, you still have to stab the knife in the back when it's time to stab it.
Chu Yunfei said again: "Brother Yunlong, don't you take Brother Tiefeng and me to visit the fortress?"
"Oh yes, look at my memory, I'm just talking to you." Li Yunlong laughed and turned around and said, "Brave Commander Liang and Brother Yun Fei, please, please, please."
The group soon arrived at the entrance of the fortress.
The entrance to the fort is about two meters high and about one meter wide.
However, what puzzled Chu Yunfei was that there was far more than one entrance.
Because on the left and right sides of this entrance, there are all entrances with similar specifications, and even on the top of the entrance there are entrances with similar specifications.
Such entrances are everywhere on the front of Fuliang Mountain.
It gives people the feeling that the entire mountain has been hollowed out, like a beehive.
Chu Yunfei took off his gloves and touched the loess walls on both sides of the entrance, saying, "This fortress is designed quite uniquely, especially the density of the entrance and exit is rare in ancient and modern times."
"However, this seems to be a little worse."
"I guess even the Type 92 infantry cannon can't stand it."
"Brother Yunlong doesn't consider using grey to reinforce it?"
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei said again: "If Brother Yunlong needs it, I still have more than a dozen packs of dust in my place. Should I send someone to deliver it to you?"
More than a dozen packs of dust? Who do you look down on?
Li Yunlong said, "Oh, that's so thankful."
"You have to be generous with Brother Chu. You have to be more than a dozen packs of dust and you will give it to someone if you say it."
The smile on Chu Yunfei's face gradually solidified, and Li Yunlong's mouth was really unforgivable.
Chu Yunfei said angrily: "I really only have a dozen packs of malts left. It's not that I don't want to give you more. These dozen packs of malts are still left when the artillery camp was constructing artillery fortifications."
"But since that's the case, I'll ask Brother Yunlong."
"I sent someone to send 100 Liao 13th rifles and 1,000 bullets to come. Why didn't Brother Yunlong accept it? He thought Chu was stingy, so he refused to accept it?"
Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this.
Wang Ye was also moved afterwards.
When did Chu Yunfei send out a hundred guns?
Zhang Fugui obviously only sent 20 rifles.
At that moment, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Ye without any trace. This matter was interesting.
So Li Yunlong did not tell Chu Yunfei about this, but instead changed the topic with a smile: "Oh, Brother Yunfei, I still know this principle."
Chu Yunfei snorted: "Brother Yunlong is too underestimating me, Chu Yunfei."
"I, Chu Yunfei, give someone a gift, that's true. I will never give extra conditions, and I will not have the idea of being slutty and having a little chick intestine. This is not something that a real man does."
"Oh, our old Li can't compete with Brother Yun Fei."
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "How poor are our Eighth Route Army?"
"I'm really poor, I want to break a bullet into two."
"Because we are too poor, our eyes are shallow, so those landlords often use small profits to tempt us, but we can't stand the temptation, and if we suffer too much, we will learn our lessons."
Speaking of this, he turned around and asked, "Xiao Wang, what is there an idiom called?"
"There is another sentence: once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the ropes for ten years."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, afraid of the well rope." Li Yunlong said, "Old Li was bitten by a snake when he was a child. He was most afraid of snakes, so when he saw the rope, he felt like a poisonous snake."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "This eye socket is indeed a little shallow."
During the confrontation of words, the group had already entered through the entrance, but there was a long corridor.
Then there were twists and turns, walking up and down. After a while, Chu Yunfei, Liang Gang, Sun Ming, Gao Shenxing and the other four were completely dizzy.
At this moment, Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang knew that this was not a fortress in the traditional sense.
In the traditional sense, the defense measures are mainly done on the surface, aiming to prevent the enemy from entering the fortress and kill the enemy in the open area outside the fortress.
But Fuliangshan Fortress did the opposite.
The defense measures of Fuliangshan Fortress are hidden inside. Its defense mechanism is to introduce the enemy into the tunnel network inside the fortress, which is like a maze, and then use the tunnel network to kill the enemy.
I have to say that this is an unexpected idea.
The offensive party is likely to suffer a big loss without knowing it in advance.
Chu Yunfei asked himself, if he had asked him to lead his troops to attack such a fortress, he would not have thought of a good solution. He would first eliminate the water attack, because the most lacking here is the water source, and then eliminate the fire attack, because the entire Fuliang Mountain is bare and has almost no vegetation, and even if it is set, it cannot be burned.
Even engineer blasting that is effective for most fortresses may not be of use.
Because you don’t know how deep the Eighth Route Army’s fortress has been dug? What if the blasting tunnel dug is shallower than the authentic tunnel inside the fortress, then that’s not a big deal?
It is useless to block the entrance because the Eighth Route Army can dig it up again.
Unless tens of thousands of tons of macadamia are transported, the entire surface of Fuliang Mountain will be cast.
Even this may not work, because the Eighth Route Army can dig the tunnel to the outer hills.
The only thing Chu Yunfei could think of was to send heavy troops to block all the entrances of the fortress and clean them one by one.
But it may not work either. One is that there are too many entrances, and the other is that each entrance is not independent, but is connected together through visible clear paths or invisible secret paths. Therefore, ten entrances can evolve into one hundred ways of walking, and one hundred entrances can evolve into countless possibilities, which can't be swept away at all.
After walking in the bend corridor, I don’t know how far it was, and finally entered a huge underground space.
This underground space is more than 20 meters in radius and four meters high, making it look very empty and not stuffy at all. I don’t know how ventilation is designed?
This should be the underground command of the Independent Regiment.
But there is nothing but the torches in the holes in the walls, and there is no map.
At this moment, Chu Yunfei realized that the Fuliangshan Fortress should have not been repaired yet, and Li Yunlong brought them here, probably to use the fortress to warn them not to cause friction.
As expected, Li Yunlong laughed and asked, "Brother Yunfei, Brigade Commander Liang, how is my fortress repaired?"
"This is a genius' creation, I have never seen it before." Liang Gang said sincerely, "It seems that this time I came to the Independent Group to observe and study. The soil of our Tiandagang should be similar to that of Fuliang Mountain. After I went back, I followed the idea of Fuliang Mountain Fortress and built a Tiandagang Fortress."
Chu Yunfei also smiled and said, "We also have to build a Yunqi Fortress."
Li Yunlong and Wang Ye looked at each other and wanted to steal the sect? But it was not that easy.
The architectural principles of Fuliangshan Fortress are not worth mentioning. What is really difficult is design and construction.
If the design is not good and the construction is not accurate enough, either the defense effect is poor and the enemy cannot be blocked, or the people are confused and become a real underground maze.
How to achieve a balance between convenient people and shaking the enemy is the most difficult.
Fortunately, Wang Ye was a maze enthusiast before traveling through time. The body given by the dog system also learned the fortress design. Only by combining the two can such a good effect be produced.
Even if Liang Gang and Chu Yunfei learn, at most they can learn half-baked.
Chapter completed!
