Naturally, the commander of the Japanese 36th Division did not know that Li Yunlong had stopped taking action at this time.
If there was no business, Li Yunlong would definitely take advantage of his enemy's illness and kill him.
But in order to gain more money, to better train the recruits and summarize actual combat experience, and to see the reaction of the Japanese, Li Yunlong stopped fighting.
Moreover, Li Yunlong had already received information that the Japanese wanted to build stronger and thicker bunkers and gun towers.
This played right into his heart.
Although this kind of bunker and turret is very troublesome to deal with, it has a flamethrower and a 10mm howitzer, so it is not impossible to deal with it.
And chewing on this kind of hard bones can accelerate the improvement of the recruits' combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, the price offered by Boss Chen left him unable to refuse.
Tonight, the New Regiment did not attack the Japanese blockade again, but they placed a large number of hidden sentries in the direction of the Japanese blockade to prevent the Japanese from entering the base area and conducting sneak attacks.
Although the 36th Division did not dare to invade the base area on a large scale, it still had to be guarded against if the Japanese could engage in burning, killing, and looting in the periphery.
However, if the Japanese dared to enter the base area, Li Yunlong would be able to lead his troops to capture the Japanese's lair.
Now the new regiment is equipped with more than 100 vehicles, and its mobility is no joke. It can reach the county seat in less than an hour's drive.
After dark.
Neat columns of Japanese and puppet troops lined up from the county seat.
Trucks dragged mountain artillery and howitzers, and even armored vehicles and tanks were dispatched. The Japanese came out almost in full force carrying heavy weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns.
Two nights ago, the New Regiment removed all the outer blockhouses and blockhouses, leaving almost all the blockhouses and blockhouses not far from the county seat.
Not long after, the Japanese and puppet troops followed the instructions and arrived at the gun towers and bunkers.
Then the Japanese soldiers came out of the bunkers and gun towers with weapons, and the puppet soldiers entered the bunkers and gun towers with weapons.
Even the secret sentries were replaced by puppet soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms.
Although the puppet soldiers knew that what they were entering was a coffin, they had no choice but to do so.
The Japs, on the other hand, found hiding spots and commanding heights nearby to ambush, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to attack.
36th Division Headquarters.
News that various ministries were ready came one after another. Jingguan Ren looked at the watch on his hand, with a sneer on his lips, as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The first two attacks by the new group were both in the latter part of the night, and the fighting lasted only a little over an hour.
For fear of being ambushed by a new regiment, each county only dispatched a large number of puppet troops and a small number of Japanese troops to reinforce them, and then reinforced them when the main force of the Japanese army was established.
However, the new regiment did not intend to ambush at all, but only wanted to fight quickly. By the time the Japanese and puppet reinforcements arrived, the battle was already over.
Although there is no clear information, Iguchi Ren and Ishikawa Zhisui are inexplicably confident that Li Yunlong will most likely continue to attack tonight.
Especially Ishikawa Zhi Shui. During this period, he has been studying Li Yunlong's combat style.
He came to the conclusion that Li Yunlong was a lunatic when it came to fighting. He never knew what it means to give up when something is good, he only knew how to kill you while you were sick.
It's still early now, so Jingguan Ren and Ishikawa Water Control are waiting for good news from various ministries.
However, as time passes steadily and cruelly, the night will soon pass, and it is almost dawn, but there is still no news from various ministries.
Iguchi Ren and Ishikawa Harishui looked ugly, and quickly ordered the communication room to contact the various brigades to ask what the situation was.
Were they all wiped out by the Eighth Route Army?
Jingguan Ren was startled by his own thoughts. If that were the case, things would be very serious.
But in an instant, he rejected this idea. Some gun towers and bunkers were very close to the county seat. If there was a battle, the sound of gunfire would definitely be heard.
Soon, the communications room got in touch with the brigades, bunkers and gun towers. That night, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army did not appear.
However, Jingguan Ren did not give up. He believed that the new regiment was only taking a short rest and would definitely continue to attack after the rest.
According to the research and analysis of Ishikawa Water Control, what Li Yunlong is best at is attacking.
Jingguan Ren believed Ishikawa's words to control the flood, and the Japanese and puppet troops continued to leave the city to ambush on the second night.
That night, the new regiment still did not launch an attack.
However, Jingguan Ren did not give up. He ordered the Japanese and puppet troops to ambush outside the city for seven consecutive nights. The new regiment still did not attack. The Japanese and puppet troops ambush for a long time, which made the Japanese soldiers feel dissatisfied.
When will this continue?
In fact, the fact that the 36th Division suffered more than 3,000 casualties had already spread among the soldiers of the 36th Division.
Coupled with Jingguan Ren's stupid operations, the soldiers of the 36th Division became increasingly dissatisfied with the division commander.
Jingguan Ren's authority in the 36th Division was challenged. The Japanese soldiers did not say anything, but their expressions showed dissatisfaction.
Jingguan Ren, who had stayed up for nine consecutive days and nights, looked haggard.
He felt that he was being fooled around by Li Yunlong. It was quite embarrassing to think about it. The elite division of the Imperial Japanese Empire was unable to do anything to a regiment of the Chinese Army.
"idiot!"
Seeing Ishikawa Shisui walking in, Iseki Ren was furious and resisted the urge to slap Ishikawa Shisui twice.
Jingguan Ren said with an evil look: "Ishikawa-kun, it's all because you provided a wrong analysis report that led to today's passive situation."
"Hi!"
Ishikawa Harishui looked stern, quickly put the pot on his back, lowered his head and said:
"Division Commander, it's all because I'm too conceited. I think I've studied Li Yunlong thoroughly. In fact, I haven't studied this person thoroughly at all. This person's combat style is changeable and elusive. Please punish me, Division Commander!"
Jingguan Ren sighed, waved his hand and said: "I will be exempted from punishment. Please stop ambush tonight."
In the final analysis, Jingguan Ren just doesn't want to admit that he is too useless.
Now seeing that Ishikawa has a good attitude towards water control and takes the initiative to carry the blame, Iguchi Ren's anger has mostly disappeared.
You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief in a thousand days.
They go out of the city to ambush every day, but the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army does not attack at all. The soldiers will definitely be very tired if they do this for a long time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, soldiers will have problems such as relaxing their vigilance and not training for a long time. When the Eighth Route Army actually attacks, the soldiers will not have much combat effectiveness, which will be very bad.
"Hi!" Ishikawa Harishui lowered his head, turned around and walked out. After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered that he had something to report.
So, he turned around and lowered his head and said: "Reporting to the head of the division, the first batch of steel bars, cement and construction workers shipped from North China have arrived!"
"Oh?" Jingguan Ren's expression changed, "How many materials and workers are there in the first batch?"
"There are a total of 000 tons of materials transported by two trains and 300 construction workers. Materials and workers will arrive later."
"Yo Xi!" Jingguan Ren nodded, "Start the work immediately, Ishikawa-kun. You are solely responsible for the progress of the project. You must protect the materials and workers to prevent sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army from interfering with the progress of the project."
"Hi!" Ishikawa Water Control Road, "There are a lot of materials transferred from North China this time. Can we use some of them to strengthen the county walls and build some fortifications in the county?"
Jingguan Ren looked at Ishikawa Water Control and said: "Ishikawa-kun, do you mean that the reinforced and thickened bunkers and gun towers still can't block the new regiment?"
Ishikawa Harishui explained: "Your Excellency, division commander, that's not what I meant."
"But there is an old saying in China that goes: be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years."
"In addition, I heard that Taiyuan is also strengthening the city walls, and vigorously building thickened and reinforced bunkers and gun towers around Taiyuan City..."
"Oh?" Jingguan Ren narrowed his eyes and sounded surprised, "Is there such a thing?"
Even Taiyuan is reinforcing its city walls and building fortifications vigorously, which is worth pondering.
This shows that Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would attack Taiyuan again, and he did not have much confidence in completely eradicating the Eighth Route Army.
Ishikawa said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have a hunch that the final decisive battle between our 36th Division and the New Regiment may take place in the three counties of Heyuan, Anhua and Ping'an."
Jingguan Ren said in a worried tone: "If we separate some materials, we will have to cut corners on the gun towers and bunkers outside the county. After all, reinforcing the walls of the three county towns and building fortresses inside the city also require a lot of steel bars and cement."
Ishikawa Water Control Road: "On the one hand, some materials can be appropriately reduced. According to the headquarters' plan, the thickness of the newly built turrets and bunkers is a bit redundant. I have ordered people to try it. The thickness is from 1 to 3 meters, which can withstand 10 mm.
For howitzer attacks, we can reduce the thickness to between .3 meters and 3 meters, with the maximum thickness not exceeding 3 meters. The saved materials can be used for city defense."
"On the other hand, the division commander can apply for more cement and steel bars from Commander Yansong on the grounds that the materials are insufficient."
"In order to curb the development of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Commander Yansong should not refuse."
"Yo Xi!" Jingguan Ren nodded happily, "Ishikawa-kun, I will leave it to you to reinforce the city defenses and build fortresses in the city!"
Ishikawa immediately regretted the water control. He was also entrusted with the gun towers and bunkers outside the city, and the construction work inside the city was also entrusted to him, which immediately doubled his workload.
But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lower his head: "Hi!"
The rules of who makes the suggestions and who makes them are the same at all times.
…
When the Japanese were building thickened gun towers and bunkers.
All units of the new regiment are also stepping up training.
At the same time, the transport plane arranged by Chen Feng transported the reimbursed weapons and ammunition, the weapons and ammunition earned from the business, and the deposit to Zhaojiayu Airport.
10 flamethrowers, gasoline and 0,000 steel helmets are already in place.
After the transport convoy transported all the weapons and ammunition to the secret warehouse, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not look at the flamethrower, which he had seen two days earlier, but instead focused on the helmets.
Li Yunlong stroked the helmet and clicked his tongue, exclaiming: "This helmet looks much better than the little devil's helmet. You can tell at a glance that it is made of high-quality steel."
"It's lighter than the helmet of the little devil, and it's more comfortable to wear. And it's not a standard helmet of any country's army. It should be produced by Chen Laodi Arsenal."
Zhao Gang put the helmet on his head with the same tone and expression.
The two of them were like country people coming to the city, looking like they had never seen the world.
"Try its defensive capabilities!"
The appearance is very good, but the quality still needs to be tested. Is it a mule or a horse drawn for a walk?
Li Yunlong then picked a steel helmet and set it up. He fired at the helmet with the Browning pistol Chu Yunfei gave him from a dozen meters away.
He fired several shots at the helmet, but the bullets failed to penetrate it.
After thinking about it, he ordered Huzi to unstring a grenade and put it under the helmet. With a loud bang, the helmet was blown away.
Huang Erhu picked up the helmet. The surface of the helmet was riddled with bullets and shrapnel, but it was still not penetrated.
"It's a damn good thing. On the battlefield, this helmet can save the lives of many soldiers."
Looking at the helmet in his hand, which was of excellent appearance and quality, Li Yunlong looked happy and let out a long sigh.
