"I'm mainly afraid that the Yue army will use the German fortress to deploy during this time," Yang Shuoming said, "The German fortress is very strong and abnormal, if I am completely familiar with it, even if we can take Qingdao, the loss will be very large." ”

"Didn't your team of 'butchers' already get in?" Xu Yuanjin remembered the terrible "hunter army" specially trained by Yang Shuoming, and couldn't help but fight a cold war.

"I don't really know where they're now." Yang Shuoming smiled and said.

Qingdao, Bismarck Mountain.

A young man dressed as a countryman hid behind a boulder, carefully observing his surroundings, his eyes flashing like a wolf from time to time, and a scar from the center of his eyebrows to his left cheek made his face look terrifying.

At this time, while carefully observing the fort in the distance, he corroborated the location map in his mind.

"That guy's head really isn't human, and he can remember so many things." He secretly admired the memory of the town guard who had sent him, and muttered something in a low voice.

Bismarck Mountain is a natural uplift of natural peaks, located in the north of the central part of Qingdao Chengnan District, between the water storage mountain and Taiping Mountain, the peak is 128.5 meters above sea level, covers an area of 373 acres, the mountain is full of pine and locust trees, the Germans used the excuse of "Caozhou Teaching Plan" to occupy Qingdao, in order to commemorate the "iron-blooded prime minister" Bismarck and named this mountain Bismarck Mountain.

There is a low dirt hill on the south side of Bismarck Mountain, and the southwest side is close to the German "Bismarck Barracks", separated by a horse track in the middle, and on the south side of the mountain, there is another hill called Baguan Mountain, with an altitude of 95.6 meters. To the southeast of Bismarck Hill is the Taiping Mountains. The north side of Bismarck Mountain faces the water storage mountain, and the northwest side can also see the Fulong Mountain. Bismarck Mountain has a dangerous terrain, guarding the middle road of Qingdao City, and is an important position to defend the entire southern area of Qingdao City.

"If you want to kill Yu himself, but you can't destroy these cannons, you simply don't treat us as human beings." Another man in almost the same costume followed behind him, smiled wryly, and whispered.

"Shut up for me. Don't mention any more cannons, say I or something. The young man with the scar on his face glared at him fiercely and said.

"Xiao Yan is right, from now on, everyone must forget their original identity and only think about their current identity." An older man who wore glasses and looked like a teacher said, "Got it? ”

"Got it." Several young men who looked like his students said.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Xu, you two go over first." The "Mr. Teaching" was obviously their leader, "Don't rush to do it first, the key is to figure out the situation." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang." The young man with the scar on his face - his name was [***] - nodded in agreement.

"If you are caught by them, you two will endure it first, and they won't be able to jump for a few days anyway." Wang Yaqiao, that is, the "Mr. Teaching", said, "When the time comes, the first work of the two of you will be indispensable. ”

"Let me cut a few more of their heads." [***] stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"You look at him, Xiao Xu, when the moon is full, don't let him come out." Wang Yaqiao looked at the bloodthirsty look on [***]'s face unconsciously, and said to his partner Xu Shiyou with some concern.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll tie him up with a rope when the time comes." Xu Shiyou looked at [***] and smiled half-truthfully.

"Alright, let's go." Wang Yaqiao waved his hand and said.

[***] and Xu Shiyou nodded, got up and walked forward, and soon disappeared into the woods.

Wang Yaqiao walked up a hillside and began to carefully examine the Bismarck Hill Fort.

In order to build Qingdao into a German military base in the Far East, the Germans began to build the Bismarck Hill Fort in 1899, which was completed in 1905. The German army has built an artillery command post, an artillery position, a sea and land observation post and other military departments on Bismarck Mountain, and has built an underground command post with a very large area, and the shelter can be divided into two parts, east and west, and belong to the land and sea artillery observation, communications, and command headquarters. The artillery positions are divided into the permanent fort in the south (west) of Bismarck Mountain, the permanent fort in the north of the mountain, the temporary battery on the top of the hill and on the southern slope, etc., and on both sides of the road up the mountain and some important sections, some heavy machine gun positions and fortifications have been built. At the same time, the Germans also installed a giant strong searchlight on the top of the hill for the Germans to illuminate the enemy situation in the forward positions at night, and the searchlight beam was extremely strong, up to several kilometers away. In addition, the Germans also set up tethered high-altitude reconnaissance balloons on the mountains, ready to take off at any time to reconnoiter enemy movements.

The German batteries on Bismarck Hill consisted of the Bismarck Hill North Battery, the Bismarck Hill South (West) Battery, and the Temporary Field Battery. Among them, the Bismarck Hill North Battery (called the 12th battery by the Germans) was equipped with 2 210-mm cannons; The Bismarck Hill South (West) Battery (called the Bismarck Hill Battery in Germans) was armed with 4 280-mm howitzers. Before the outbreak of the First World War, the Germans also temporarily equipped two 88-mm cannons on the top of the hill and three old 150-mm wheeled howitzers at the foot of the southern slope. The artillery configuration of the Bismarck battery was dominated by two caliber cannons, one was a cannon with a caliber of 210 mm; One is a Krupp howitzer with a caliber of 280 mm, built by Germany in 1904. Of the 4 howitzers, two were stationary positional mounts; Two are stationary crypt gun mounts. The first two guns were located on the north-western side of the Bismarck mountainside and were installed in reinforced concrete shields with pentagonal shapes and flush with the hillside, and the exit of the shields was located on the south-west side. The battery was built in such a secluded manner that it was not easy to spot from a distance. The howitzer in the shield faces northeast, the maximum horizontal firing range does not exceed 180 degrees, and the elevation angle does not exceed 40 degrees; The latter two crypt guns are located in the ravine on the northwest side of the first two guns, and the cannons can be installed in the crypt after digging into a hole, which can fire 360 degrees.

The howitzers laid by the German army are extremely resistant to attack because of the strong shield around the three directions, and the entire shelter and gun emplacement are located on the north side of the mountain, which is in a north-south west-west direction, and the large and thick round edge of the top cover is made of reinforced concrete, and there are sandbags piled on the top cover. The other two crypt-type howitzers under the mountainside depression have no protection of the shelter, so they can only use a hemispherical protective cover made of thick steel plates to cover the gun position, and build a ring-shaped cement bunker around the cannon, this cannon can carry out 360-degree ring fire, which obviously belongs to the layout pattern of taking into account the sea shooting.

In addition to this, the Germans built a northern battery with reinforced concrete shelter on the northern slope of the uphill path on Mount Bismarck, where two 210-mm Krupp cannons were installed. The installation of this cannon is roughly the same as that of the 280 mm howitzer fixed position gun, and the middle of each cannon is the shelter part, and the gun's shield is surrounded by stone walls on three sides, which also has extremely strong protection.

Although the German artillery battery is strong, its layout is not invulnerable, but there are considerable loopholes, at this time Wang Yaqiao, in the "hunter troops" training a lot of military knowledge, although not a professional army person, but now he can see some ways.

If nothing else, from the point of view of the firing boundary orbit of these 280-mm howitzers, these guns, like the 210-mm cannons, are land defense cannons. Because the cannon is limited by the arc of its direction and track, it cannot turn the gun body to shoot at the open sea, so the south (west) and north batteries of Bismarck Mountain can be said to basically belong to the land defense batteries. As for the two crypt-type 280-mm howitzers built in the ravine, due to the use of annular sitting circle gun mounts, they can carry out 360-degree ring fire and have the ability to shoot at the sea, but if the crypt-type 280mm howitzer needs to shoot in the direction of the sea, it needs to use the maximum elevation angle to shoot over the Bismarck peak to the sea, and the large elevation angle will inevitably bring insufficient range, and shooting at the sea will be quite difficult. The combat mission of the batteries on this hill was to suppress and destroy the enemy artillery positions in the northeast direction or to provide direct fire support to the German forward positions, and firing at sea targets was not actually the task of the batteries on Bismarck Hill. Moreover, the range of the 280-mm howitzer was limited, and firing from Mount Bismarck could only reach the vicinity of the sea, making it difficult to block enemy ships from the open sea.

Now these forts have changed owners and are occupied by more vicious Yue troops, but from the current point of view, it seems that Yue himself has not strengthened the defense here.

Wang Yaqiao and several "students" memorized the details of the fort one by one, and then began to walk down the mountain.

When approaching the village, the "teachers and students" were walking briskly, and not far away, a small group of soldiers appeared.

Wang Yaqiao recognized that this was the patrol of the army, and he inadvertently turned his head to look at the "students", and the "students" also seemed to understand what the teacher meant, and they all slowed down.

"Stop! Your! What kind of work?! The officer at the head of the group spotted them, and immediately drew the Toyo sword from his waist and asked loudly.

"We are painters, we come to the mountains to sketch, we sketch." Wang Yaqiao put on a kind and flattering smile, greeted him, and said while making a gesture.

The officer strode over, and the soldiers behind him also stepped forward and surrounded Wang Yaqiao and his party.

"You're, how did you get here? Passes? Take it out! The officer came to Wang Yaqiao, stared at him, and shouted loudly.
