Although the largest capital in the construction of fortress groups is human capital, under the premise that the Japanese Kwantung Army plundered labor and brutally enslaved prisoners of war from Chinese mainland on a large scale, it can be said that it is almost free, but steel and concrete still need money to produce, and additional weapons and equipment also need money to buy, and the money previously obtained from the Jews was used for economic construction, urban development and weapons production, and the money for building fortresses was squeezed out of the army's military expenses from the base camp.

And those capitalists on the island are not philanthropists, they support you to start the war in order to make war money, not to give you the most unjust for free, they can pay to expand the army war against China, so they can make a profit from it, but they will never spend the money on the construction of fortresses, although the Japanese emperor and cabinet are very much in agreement with the proposal to build fortresses.

Whether the function of the fortress is increased or changed, the Kwantung Army can proceed according to the actual situation, but the War Department's appropriation for the fortress project will remain unchanged, and the second phase of the original plan cannot be stopped, and must be completed according to the plan before four or three years.

The number of laborers required can be coordinated by the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army, and the raw materials can also be allocated by the steel mills in Manchuria according to the original plan, but there is one clause, all the expenses of the overrun will be borne by the Kwantung Army itself, and the War Department will not increase any of them, and there is one clause that Manchukuo exports at a low price every year, which is even almost equivalent to nothing, and at present the quantity of coal and grain urgently needed for Japan's preparation for war must not be reduced in any way, but must also be increased according to the situation. In addition, last year, Meng Qingshan led the rise of the Anti-Japanese Union to cut off one of the important economic sources of the Kwantung Army in Beimanchuria, such as coal mines, forest farms, and gold mines. Coupled with the defeat in the First World War of Normenhan, the Jews of Harbin, who had money bags, completely severed relations with the big American benefactors. There was no longer any way to get funds, which made the Kwantung Army have problems with their funds. The funds issued by the empire were just enough to expand the military, so the Heihe fortress, which was supposed to continue to expand, stopped, and the Kwantung Army carefully calculated and found that if it wanted to make some adjustments to the functions of these fortress groups, from offensive to offensive and defensive, the amount of work was not small to there, and the cost would also rise significantly, and if the construction started at the same time, the additional funds would all be borne by the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army would go bankrupt outright.

Although the Kwantung Army forcibly allocated a part of the funds from the so-called Manchurian treasury, which was actually equivalent to the small treasury of the Kwantung Army, and reduced the amount of construction of several other fortress groups in order to save money, this fund could only maintain the Hulin Fortress and the Dongning Fortress, the two most important fortress groups in the North Manchurian region, and the Heihe Fortress and the Hailar Fortress were the last.

Otherwise, the Heihe Fortress was built to the extent that the Dongning Fortress, even if the number of cannons of the Anti-Japanese Federation multiplied by ten, it might not be able to capture it, and when Hamada Shinosuke was still shocked, Wu Quanfu of the Guard Brigade led a battalion of soldiers to rush up. When they arrived at the Japanese tunnel, all the people were stunned, and a dozen Japanese soldiers were still sitting in place, many of them holding their heads and leaning together. His face was covered with dust, and the blood that flowed from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth was absorbed by the dirt.

"I'm good! This little devil is really dead, and there is really no one. A UND fighter said.

"What are you muttering there! Hurry up and just go over this mountain, and the other side of the mountain is the headquarters of the little devils. As long as the commander of the little devil is caught, this time the battle will be considered a successful one, and it will be delayed for a while. You can't even gnaw a bone. After speaking, Wu Quanfu crossed the tunnel and rushed towards the mountain.

Hamada Tonosuke had the operations staff officer send a telegram to the Japanese Kwantung Army Command, drafting the following message: "To Your Excellency Commander Umezu Mijiro: The situation in the battle of Kurokawa is extremely dangerous. The sudden attack of the Chinese people made our troops defenseless, and in just a few hours, the various positions and cities in Heihe fell into the hands of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and I thought that relying on the strong fortress facilities could delay the attack of the Chinese people, but the opposite side was not the troops of the Chinese people at all, but the Russian army, they brought hundreds of cannons, under the bombardment of nearly half an hour, my Manchurian 612 troops were exhausted with casualties at this moment, I hope that Your Excellency the Commander will be careful of Russia, and you will live and die with the position, long live Your Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Kwantung Army! ”

When the combat staff officer finished sending the telegram, Hamada Tonosuke pulled out his knife and committed suicide by disembowelment. This caused a chain reaction in the Japanese headquarters, and the operational staff officer who sent the telegram also followed his footsteps and disemboweled, and the only dozens of Japanese soldiers left in the headquarters saw the commander and the staff officer die by caesarean section together, and rushed into the anti-United Nations team with a grenade, causing a lot of damage to the anti-United Nations team, and with Hamada Shinosuke committing suicide, the entire Heihe Battle ended smoothly.

"Chief of Staff, immediately give orders to the regiments to hand over the battlefield to the militia company to clean up. The various units quickly withdrew from their positions and entered a state of rest, and ordered the baggage troops to immediately replenish the ammunition of each regiment. Also, in half an hour, I want to know the casualties of the various units. Seeing that no single gunshot could be heard on the battlefield, Meng Qingshan ordered to the chief of staff beside him.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I'll deliver the order." Chief of Staff Liu Yalou put down his binoculars, turned around and ordered several guards to notify the various troops. It didn't take long for the various units that had been ordered to withdraw from the messy battlefield with the wounded, handing over the battlefield to the militia that had come to reinforce them.

"Commander-in-chief, the casualty data of each regiment has been counted" In less than half an hour, just as Meng Qingshan was thinking about what to do next in front of the map, the voice of Chief of Staff Liu Yalou sounded at the door of the temporary headquarters under the mountain.

"How? Whether the casualties are large or not, what is the situation of the regiments" Hearing the words of the chief of staff, Meng Qingshan hurriedly asked. You must know that this question is what Meng Qingshan wants to know the most at present, this time Meng Qingshan has been planning for several months, and has made sufficient preparations, and this is also the first battle of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

"Commander-in-chief, the casualties of the various units participating in this battle can be said to be still within our control, and there are more than 2,200 people in 7 infantry squadrons, 3 artillery squadrons, and 1 engineer brigade of the 6th and 7th border garrisons of the Japanese army. The three regiments of the 1st Military Region suffered a total of 483 casualties, 253 were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness, and the 2nd Regiment of the Guard Brigade suffered the largest casualties, almost running out, and the entire regiment suffered nearly two-thirds of the casualties, 493 killed, 1,132 lightly wounded, and 210 seriously wounded. A regiment was a little better, with 289 killed and 64 seriously wounded. The 3rd Regiment lost 40 killed and 28 seriously wounded. The headquarters cavalry brigade lost 192 killed and 24 seriously wounded. There were no casualties in the armored brigade, only one armored car was scrapped, and the tracks of one tank were blown up. Wang Wennian's division of the Fourth Division suffered 530 casualties, 335 minor wounded, and 210 seriously wounded. The special operations brigade suffered 24 casualties and 26 seriously wounded. As for the artillery division, 36 people were killed (it was the Japanese artillery counterattack that was killed), and the ammunition was almost exhausted. But we captured 67 pieces of various enemy artillery pieces and more than 4,000 shells on the enemy's positions, which can replenish the losses. That's all there is to it," Chief of Staff Liu Yalou said, putting down the statistics in his hand.

"Alas, I didn't think that there were less than 2,000 little devils, so we soldiers fell on the battlefield and fell under the guns of the little devils. Chief of Staff, immediately count these sacrificed soldiers, not these dead soldiers sacrificed in vain, and let the political commissars and political workers of each regiment properly enlighten the wounded of all units. Meng Qingshan said.

"Commander-in-chief, Deputy Commander Yang just sent a telegram asking how to arrange the Japanese expatriates in Heihe Province?"

Meng Qingshan thought for a while, and then said: "As for the Japanese expatriates, as long as they do not confront our army by force, we will try to capture them as much as possible, and the men will be arranged to work in the mines, and the women will be arranged to work in the textile factory, don't be tired to death." In the future, I will use them to do business with the Japanese army, exchanging money for weapons. Of course, those who are the most vicious are solved on the spot. ”

Liu Yalou was stunned for a moment after listening to Meng Qingshan's words, this time the little devil is going to bleed heavily, just after Yang Jingyu led people to count that there are nearly 150,000 Japanese expatriates in Heihe, of course this is alive, the devil wants to redeem it I don't know the Year of the Monkey, and at the same time, I admire Meng Qingshan's means of making money.
