Chapter 177: Holmozin (4)

Meng Qingshan sat silently in the room of the Japanese commander and looked through the list of all the materials in and out of the Japanese army and the projects that the Japanese army was preparing to expand, the Japanese army seemed to really attach importance to this fortress, although after only reading a few pages, Meng Qingshan knew that he had made the right bet. The Japanese army used this place as a combat readiness warehouse and a garrison base, and once the Heihe fortress was lost, the garrison army of Heihe could retreat to the Khormozhin fortress to continue fighting, and the Japanese army was in this fortress. The abundance and quantity of its reserves are enough to double the number of its own troops by one or two times, and enough to support the Anti-Japanese Union to fight a large-scale battle.

This fortress was specially built by the Japanese army in preparation for the war against the Soviet Union. In wartime, it can be used in battle with the Black River Fortress in a line. Even when necessary, it was responsible for the supply of some of the materials used by the Japanese army in the Heihe fortress.

After learning about the situation of the Japanese army here, Meng Qingshan looked at the distribution drawings of the entire fortress of the Japanese army and found that the ammunition depot, grain depot, storage reservoir, air-raid shelter that the Japanese army had built, and the entire fortress could accommodate three divisions and regiments, including the heavy artillery battery under construction. If it weren't for the strategy to capture this fortress, then these people would not be enough to fight the Japanese defenders who occupied all kinds of defensive measures, but this fortress will be resisted from today. ”

Meng Qingshan looked at the distribution map and the surrounding map and slowly fell into contemplation, this fortress has perfect defensive measures, and there is a Japanese arsenal machine production workshop that is dozens of times stronger than Meng Qingshan's own incomplete arsenal, and the first and third detachments connected to the Great Xing'an Mountains can also avoid the harassment of the Japanese army at any time, do you want to set up the base camp here? However, once the Japanese army knew that the Anti-Japanese Union had captured this place, they would definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it. He is not afraid of the infantry, just relying on the materials hoarded in this warehouse can consume the Japanese army for a long time, the key is that the little devil has an airplane. Once the Japanese bombers dropped a few bombs into the fortress, they were all done.

"Commander. Guess what we found inside the devil's warehouse? Chief of Staff Wang Guangyu ran over excitedly and shouted.

"Whether Guangyu found a large amount of weapons and equipment and food in the warehouse, and there are quite a few of them, I know all of this."

"Commander, no, in the process of counting supplies, I found dozens of different boxes, in which there were a total of 12 light machine guns with lengthened and thickened barrels. In addition, there are more than 20,000 rounds of bullets that look like artillery shells. I don't know this gun, I suspect it's a new weapon developed by the little devils to deal with us, and I asked the commander if you recognize it when I came over. ”

"Oh! A light machine gun with a lengthened and thickened barrel with a bullet like a cannonball. Let's take a look. Meng Qingshan got up and said.

However, before entering the warehouse, Meng Qingshan instructed Wang Guangyu to immediately send a telegram to Yang Jingyu and Li Yanping, asking them to immediately rush over with their troops and coordinate to receive this fortress.

Entering the warehouse, although he was already mentally prepared, Meng Qingshan was already shocked by the scale of the ammunition depot of this Japanese fortress. The scale of this warehouse is huge, many times larger than the fortress he attacked before, and the materials in it are also very rich, which must let the little devil know that he must not be distressed to death.

When he heard about the appearance of the gun before, Meng Qingshan had some doubts about whether this gun would be an anti-aircraft machine gun or an anti-aircraft gun. If it was really Meng Qingshan, he was relieved that he was worried about the little devil's air raid, Meng Qingshan walked over and immediately recognized the 12 weapons glowing with blue light, which were anti-aircraft machine guns. With anti-aircraft machine guns and ammunition, it is possible to form an anti-aircraft battalion, and in the future there will be no more worries about air strikes by little devils. This time, I want the little devil's plane to come one, I'll hit one, and I'll hit two and I'll hit a pair.

In order to form this air defense battalion, Meng Qingshan handed over all the affairs in the fortress to Wang Wennian and Wang Guangyu, and he first selected a battalion from the army, all of which were young people in their 20s, and 40 percent of them had studied. The rest are trained in person, which can be said to be the only one in the entire Anti-Japanese Federation. All made up of intellectuals.

Of course, he didn't know much about air defense, but he captured it in the training materials of the Japanese army during the battle. After seeing this air defense training, he studied it for a few days, and in just one day, all the soldiers arrived, and the first air defense battalion of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation was officially established, and the battalion commander Zhao Yingjun. The air defense battalion has three companies, each company has four platoons, each platoon has an anti-aircraft machine gun, and the battalion has a total of 241 soldiers, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters of the second detachment. On the day the air defense battalion was established, Meng Qingshan took everyone to the Japanese army's playground to start training. And simulate the speed of Japanese aircraft, set machine gun aiming points. Although many soldiers did not know why they did this, according to Meng Qingshan's words, everyone was trained strictly according to Meng Qingshan's teachings, and at the same time, Meng Qingshan also took out the textbooks that he had translated wherever he went, and handed them them to study, and everyone discussed together what methods could be used to knock down the Japanese planes.

Since the team is getting bigger and bigger, Meng Qingshan's pressure is also increasing, this is not like playing games by himself before, a dead soldier can still produce one, this is a group of fucking people, and the slightest carelessness will cause casualties, so Meng Qingshan took out his spare time to study, enrich himself and use them all in practice, to avoid becoming the second Zhao Kuo, after all, he can't afford to lose.

Under Meng Qingshan's personal leadership and research, it took less than four days for all the fighters of the air defense battalion to basically master the performance of the antiaircraft machine guns in their hands and the tactics of the air defense battalion. So Meng Qingshan divided them into three groups and settled in the air defense buildings that had been repaired, took turns in air defense, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Japanese planes. Preparing to give this newly-born air defense battalion a real live-fire exercise, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, for this anti-aircraft machine gun that can move back and forth can also strengthen the defensive measures of the fortress, facing it to the sky can be air defense, facing the ground can hit the Japanese army, Meng Qingshan remembered that in a Sino-Japanese battle a few years later, the Japanese army called the machine gun is this kind of anti-aircraft machine gun. At that time, the national army suffered serious losses, and all the troops of nearly one division were killed by the Japanese army, and none of them survived. The Japanese army wanted to capture the fortress without killing a few thousand people, and they didn't think they could get in.

When Meng Qingshan returned to his room after training the air defense battalion and was ready to do something else, he saw Li Yanping, Yang Jingyu, and Wei Zhengmin waiting at his door for a long time. With a smile, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Lao Yang, Lao Wei, Lao Li, don't tell me when you arrive, I thought something happened to you." ”

"My commander, you've been in a demon for the past few days, we've been here for two days, and you've been busy training the air defense battalion to get rid of it, and throwing us such a big stall as the fortress so that we can't be exhausted." Li Yanping said complainingly.

"Lao Li, isn't this also to train the troops and increase the strength of the Anti-United Nations?" Meng Qingshan lowered his head and said. He also knew that he was patronizing the training air defense battalion these days, and he had hardly taken care of the affairs in the fortress, you must know that this fortress had dazzled Wang Guangyu just by counting the supplies, and Wang Wennian was busy arranging laborers and couldn't leave, both of them had lost 5 or 6 pounds in the past few days, if Li Yanping and them arrived in time to replace them, maybe they would have to die of exhaustion.

"Okay, okay, it's all for the development of the troops, let's go into the house and say." Wei Zhengmin said.

"Lao Yang, Lao Li, Lao Wei, how about we move the base camp here?"

"Moved here? Commander, isn't this too risky. The entire fortress was surrounded by Japanese troops, although it was hidden in the mountains. But in front of him is the Japanese fortress of Heihe, and once we arrange the base camp here, the little devil will not have to go crazy to destroy us. Wei Zhengmin said.

"I think it's good, this fortress is built with an almost impregnable defensive line. More importantly. These more than ten kilometers of mountain roads have very favorable terrain, even in the face of Japanese attacks. We have to go through these mountain roads, so we can ambush them halfway and catch them off guard. More than a dozen kilometers of mountain roads along the way. You can also plant mines to make it difficult for the little devils to move, and even if you reach the fortress, you will face our energetic soldiers. Yang Jingyu replied.

"How's that going to work? The base camp is the core of our second detachment. It can also be called the heart of the entire anti-union. In any case, we cannot be careless. Don't forget, although we have a temporary advantage in the North Manchurian region after several small victories, the Kwantung Army of the little devils still has hundreds of thousands of troops staring at us, ready to destroy us at any time. Li Yanping objected.

"Comrade Yanping is right, in the entire three northeastern provinces, in terms of overall strength, our Anti-Japanese Federation and the Kwantung Army are like an ant and an elephant. Coupled with the fact that the Kwantung Army has absolute artillery fire and air superiority, we must not underestimate the strength of the Kwantung Army. ”

Then Meng Qingshan put the map in the middle of several people and said: "The defense measures of the Hormozhin Fortress are complete, there are enough materials in it to feed our troops for one or two years, there are also a lot of weapons, and there are also small arsenals that can produce artillery shells, grenades, bullets, mortars, etc., we are in such an indestructible military fortress." It can not only protect the arsenal but also prevent the Japanese army from landing from Suibin County at any time to attack the base area. At the same time, this military fortress can also be used to kill and injure a large number of Japanese troops one day in the future. It is even possible to launch a large-scale battle centered on the military fortress of Hormozhin. ”

After listening to Meng Qingshan's words, Yang Jingyu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "When the time comes, if the Japanese army gathers heavy troops and attacks the Hormozhin fortress, and it can't be attacked for a long time. Then, the Japanese army is responsible for attacking forces, and all of them will be contained by us, so that their rear cities will be like paper paste, and then the anti-coalition troops in various places can quickly capture and harass the various cities of the Japanese army, and force them to return to help, I understand, commander, you want to use our base camp as bait one day. Use the Hormozhin fortress as a flesh mill, kill and wound a large number of Japanese troops, and organize a large-scale battle. ”

"Yes, that's it, I'm going to turn Hormozhin Fortress into a large military fortress that has become the grave of the Japanese army." Meng Qingshan nodded affirmatively and said. (To be continued......)
