Listening to Liu He's report, Jiang Haoran's face also became solemn, in a sense, it is not a bad thing to be ploughed by the devil's aerial bombs before the war, at least it can detect the solidity of the base, and find that there is still time to remedy the problem, so when he saw the devil's plane passing in the sky, Jiang Haoran even had a happy face, and ordered all the firepower of the base to be dumb, of course, this is more from the consideration, not wanting to expose the firepower too early, and there is indeed the "show weakness" factor envisioned by Okamura Ningji. But I didn't expect that it would bring such a big loss to the unfinished fortress, and hundreds of casualties were still second, and this collapsed tunnel invisibly added a heavy weight to the already time-tight project progress.

"Rush repairs, regardless of the rush repairs, you must give me this time to get it back, and if there are not enough laborers, send soldiers to it!" Jiang Haoran said.

"The problem is not the laborers, the space in the tunnel is limited, it can only accommodate so many people, and it is not possible to work outside, which makes it even more difficult."

"Why can't you work outside, from tomorrow, all the projects don't have to be hidden, today's artillery fire, almost burned the entire mountain forest, you can't hide it, just throw off your arms and do it, pull all the heavy excavators of the base to the mountain."

Liu He was shocked when he heard this: "Commander, this can't be done, since the devils have already paid attention to us, it is estimated that the planes will come to reconnoiter from time to time, once they find out that we are building a large number of buildings, won't they stare at us and blow up?" ”

"Do we still have a choice? Starting tomorrow, all the hills will be set up with anti-aircraft machine guns for Lao Tzu to deal with the air raids of the devils at any time, and the work on the ground will be transferred from the Second Division from Yin Dong, and the project will have to be completed ahead of schedule with Lao Tzu despite the bombing. ”

"Report, Vice President Xue is in an emergency!" A staff officer hurried in.

"Read!" Jiang Haoran said.

"The three divisions of the Japanese army launched an attack on the entire front line of our department at the same time, which was extremely fast, and I hope that my brother will take precautions as soon as possible. Xue Yue. ”

"Awesome! Okamura Ninji reacted quickly, this round of bombing, he almost saw through me, this side just finished bombing, and immediately started to attack! Jiang Haoran couldn't sit still either, and stood up from the chair.

"Commander, what's wrong? The Japanese army attacked on all fronts, why didn't they choose a little breakthrough? Liu He said.

"This can't be seen yet, what the old devil wants is not to repel it, but to defeat it, Xue Yue's combat effectiveness is still zài, the threat to them will not be reduced, and they will not be able to concentrate superior forces against us. Moreover, from Xue Yue's message, it can also be seen that he has insufficient confidence in sticking to it, and I am afraid that he will not be able to support it for long? Jiang Haoran said.

"Liu Dakun"

"Here!"

"You're going to get the spearman to the headquarters yourself!"

"Yes!" Liu Dakun turned around and entered the entrance of the tunnel and left quickly.

"Zhuang Fuguo!"

"Here!"

"Spread out the secret service group, closely check the refugees who have entered Zhuzhou, and never allow enemy agents to take the opportunity to infiltrate the base. At the same time, find a way to find out the whereabouts of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army. ”

"Yes!" Zhuang Fuguo also hurried out of the headquarters.

"Commander, do you think the 116th Division will also participate in this battle?" Liu He said.

"I think it will, Okamura Ningji is menacing, like the 101st and 104th divisions have no intention of letting them withdraw to rest and recuperate, how can they put a complete division at home, maybe this time it will be the 116th division to take the main attack, but I don't know if he will choose Liuyang or Pingxiang as the main direction of attack." Jiang Haoran said.

Liu He thought for a while: "If it were me, I would definitely choose Pingxiang, although the 116th Division is an infantry division, once Xue Yue is defeated, behind him are the 101st and 104th field divisions, the chariots and heavy artillery are complete, plus the roads and railways are on this line, it is also very suitable for them to turn around for a large-scale attack." On the contrary, the direction of Liuyang is mountainous and forested, and the roads are rugged, which is obviously not suitable for the rapid movement of large troops. ”

Jiang Haoran nodded slightly, Liu He's analysis is obviously reasonable, in this way, the pressure on Su Peng's third division is invisibly great, and the base can't transfer troops to support, Xu Biao's first division, which is the core force of the base, is impossible to mobilize, Yuan Dong is deployed on the front line of Liuyang, and the troops are still insufficient, so it is naturally impossible to divide the troops, and while Yin Dong comes to garrison Xiangtan, he also has to serve as the reserve of the base, and it is impossible to divide the troops.

"Chief of Staff, in this way, find a secret place in the base, build a temporary airfield, preferably with a cave, you can tow the plane into the cave, so that the garrison regiment of Lin Sanmu at the airport can be vacated, order the baggage brigade to send a few vehicles, to the arsenal to load a thousand AK47s, and send them to the fifth and sixth divisions, the two divisions will be combined into one division, Zhang Dabiao is the division commander, Tao Hanqing is the deputy division commander, and immediately stationed in Liling, plus Lin Sanmu's regiment, it is also tens of thousands of troops, although the number is small, But the combat effectiveness is not necessarily weak, once the direction of the 116th Division is determined, reinforcements can be made at any time. ”

"Well, this method is good, there is one more division for Shengsheng, okay, I'll arrange it!"

"Go ahead!"

As soon as Liu He went out, Liu Dakun took Mao Yisheng from the tunnel into the headquarters.

Jiang Haoran hurriedly stepped forward and held Mao Yisheng's hands tightly, words such as hard thanks are indispensable, although they are polite, but they are also emotional.

Mao Yisheng is also a single, and only said that it is incumbent on him to resist Japan.

Jiang Haoran briefly introduced to him the current situation, the construction of the fortress may not have so much time, can only be used on both sides, the front line is delayed as much as possible, and the construction period is shortened as much as possible in the back, and the construction is completed one day earlier, and there may be hundreds or thousands of fewer soldiers on the front line.

Mao Yisheng told Jiang Haoran that the main body of the four mother bunkers had been completed, and that one of the bunkers today was directly hit by a 500-pound bomb, and the main body was immovable, according to his prediction, even if it was a 1,000-pound bomb, as long as more than two bombs were not hit in the same position, there would basically be no problems. The main body of the fourteen sub-bunkers can be completed in only about half a month, but there are hundreds of widely distributed machine gun muzzles, gun muzzles, and lookout ports, which are large and small, and they are not connected with the main body, and it takes quite a long time, because the hardening of cement has been considered from the beginning, so the construction also starts from the main body, extending from large to small. Of course, the main problem is actually still in the passage, the passage cannot be connected, the materials cannot be transported, the water and electricity cannot enter, the ventilation of the entire fortress has become a problem, and the troops cannot be stationed at all.

Jiang Haoran asked if there is any quick way to open up these passages, Mao Yisheng said, the passages in the mountain can be sloppy, but these passages through from the flat ground must not cut corners, this collapse is also on the flat ground of these passages, cement pouring is indeed time-consuming and laborious, if you can produce a batch of arc-shaped steel plates, all the way through, about 40 days can run through the whole line.

Jiang Haoran immediately decided to take two steps, while continuing to pour cement, and at the same time informing the steel mill to produce steel plates according to Mao Yisheng's requirements, and in any case, the Zimu bunker group would be put into use within 30 days.
