From morning to afternoon, nearly 10,000 troops of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Allied Army launched seven attacks on the front line of the Lishui base, basically every hour, except for a short lunch time at noon.

Although their attack did not pose much of a threat to the national army, Inaba Shiro did not expect them to do much, mainly to use their attacks in different directions and different regions to test the distribution and construction of the national army's firepower points, and then through accurate mapping, to provide accurate data for artillery and aircraft strikes, and to remove all obstacles for the imperial army's attack as much as possible.

Obviously, their goal has been achieved, the Lishui base is not as impregnable as they imagined, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army is indeed ridiculously poor, the soldier's quality and will are simply people can't help but hide their faces, although they charged seven times, but basically they will retreat in full force when they encounter a little fierce firepower, if it weren't for the Imperial Army behind them, and shot more than a dozen people, I'm afraid they would have been scattered long ago, but in this way, the soldiers who have no will to fight with the support of dozens of mountain artillery, They actually rushed to a place less than 500 meters from the front line of the national army's position many times.

Seeing the Imperial Association Army retreat like a tide again, Inaba Shiro showed a sly smile, glanced left and right, and said: "Gentlemen, I see it's about the same, and if you try again, it's just like that, we overestimate the combat effectiveness of the national army, and originally thought that the 10,000 Imperial Association Army would suffer at least nearly half of the casualties in today's battle, who knows that it is less than 2,000, hehe." I believe that after tomorrow's artillery fire is covered, the imperial army will be able to take the Yeosu base with a single charge. “

The commander of the 104th Division, Shinichi Tanaka, did not have Shiro Inaba's good mood, and said worriedly: "Inaba-kun, don't forget that Qin Feng has a heavy artillery brigade, so far we have not seen them fire even a shell of more than 75 mm, we don't even know where their artillery positions are, you know, our main battlefield is a low-lying land, and it is the most difficult to fight the back attack, once the enemy's heavy artillery attacks in groups, our casualties are simply unpredictable, and, in the face of our Imperial Army, It was impossible for Qin Feng to completely display his strength. “

"Tanaka-kun is too worried, Qin Feng has heavy artillery, and I believe that his artillery position is in a valley behind their defensive line, but don't forget, we still have bombers, once their artillery fires, even if they hide well, they can't escape the air attack, I think, when they open fire, it will be the day of their destruction, as for the strength, I think it should not be far from attacking our heroic imperial soldiers head-on, hahaha."

Chief of Staff of the 104th Division, Major General Saburo Sato. Listening to Inaba Shiro's words, he frowned slightly, and stepped forward and said: "According to the information provided by the 116th Division, the national army has seven 150 howitzers on the Xiaonanshan fortress, and if they also build the artillery positions here on the fortresses of the big and small Jianling, the bombers of the imperial army may not be able to reach it." “

Inaba Shiro raised the telescope in his hand: "You take a closer look at the distance between the fortress and the battlefield, once the imperial army launches an attack, the distance is so close that it is no longer in the firing range of 150 howitzers, it is not at all like Xiao Nanshan's long-range attack on the river defense, do you say that Qin Feng will be so stupid, at most you can set up mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars and other small-caliber ones, and when attacking, we have the strength to cover it with artillery fire, even if his fortress is indestructible, but we can at least make them unable to rise at all." “

"Okay, Inaba-kun is so confident, so let's give it a try tomorrow, but before that, I also want to hear some opinions from Inuyo-kun about the Yeosu base."

As soon as Tanaka Shinichi's words stopped, everyone looked sideways, and Inukaitaro, who was wearing a suit and tie and had thick-bottomed eyes, hurriedly stepped forward without hesitation and talked eloquently.

"The defense line of the Lishui base from the Jigong Mountain in the north to the Xiaonan Mountain in the west, arching to the south in a half-moon shape, with a total length of about 45 kilometers, there are three fortresses that can be determined at present, namely the small Nanshan fortress, the large and small Jianling conjoined giant fortress and the Jigong Mountain fortress, there are at least ten sub-forts along the key points, the dark fort is unknown, its solidity can resist the bombardment of thousands of pounds, and there is a seismic layer several meters high, the concave trench at the mountainside is a permanent fortification of reinforced concrete, but most of them are civil fortifications, Every 100 meters between the trenches of the main battlefield, there is a reinforced concrete anti-artillery bunker, or it may be a small pillbox, as for the artillery position, they were able to come up with a concave trench, I think, their artillery position should also be in this way, so the aircraft cannot detect it, and the bombing is impossible to talk about, and it is also very strange why the national army built the trench on the mountainside instead of the commanding height of the cave, is it to avoid air strikes......"

Inukai Taro's words made all the devils present stunned, according to this, there is no need to fight the whole monolith, but they don't dare not believe his words, Inukai Taro is not an ordinary person, after the fall of the Northeast, the Japanese army forcibly conscripted millions of laborers, starting from Hunchun, Jilin Province in the east, through the Sino-Soviet border in Heilongjiang Province in the middle, and reaching the 5000-kilometer border area of Hailar and Arshan in the west, a total of 17 fortresses were built, and the fortress group added up to about 1700 kilometers, with a total of 80,000 permanent fortifications, in addition, It also includes thousands of permanent underground warehouses, power stations, communication hubs, water supply stations and other ancillary military facilities, as well as a large number of second- and third-line general positions and field positions, as well as military airfields, military railways and highways, and the Japanese Kwantung Army also called it the "Eastern Maginot Line", and the chief designer of this fortress group is Inukai Taro, and before coming, he has personally conducted a round of air patrols, that is, his words are an authority that can never be refuted.

Looking at the stunned look of everyone, Inuyotaro smiled instead: "You don't have to worry that the Lishui base is not without a soft underbelly, although the concave trench can be attacked by air defense, it is impossible to have a wide depth, as long as your artillery literacy is good, and if you enter their trenches, the lethality is higher than usual, the concave trenches, to be honest, are purely bullshit trenches, once one of the mountains is broken by heavy artillery and collapses, the passage of the entire defense line will be cut off Also, the trenches are connected to the main fort, It can be seen that the entire logistics and soldiers are completed through the passage of the main fort, after all, it is only half a year, and it is impossible for them to dig through the entire mountain, that is to say, once the battle is fierce, the trenches at the far end of the main fort, the troops and logistics will be unsustainable, as for the enemy's artillery positions, even if they hide in the cave, it is not a way without a strike, we can ......"

In the evening, the "Ziyi" special plane soared into the sky from a hidden cave in the Lishui base, hovering in the sky for half a circle and then speeding towards Jinggang Mountain.

At the same time, several small cars, escorted by more than a dozen troop carriers, drove into the Lishui base -- the chairman of the committee came.

After receiving Qin Feng's telegram, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee immediately set out, accompanied not only by his wife and Wang Shihe, but also by Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, and other high-ranking generals, as well as some reporters from the mainstream media throughout the country and even some foreign reporters.

In order to prevent unsafe skies over Hunan, the special plane landed in Hengyang and then transferred to a car, so it is only now that we have arrived at the base.
