was frustrated twice in one day, Shimizu Dazuo was also very annoyed, and he couldn't bring it out on his face, so he had to pretend to be okay to comfort his subordinates, after all, it wasn't the soldier's fault, the fault was also in the group of wild dogs who didn't know where to get out.

Nothing happened all night, and early the next morning, the official order came down! The headquarters of the North China Front crossed the 110th Division and gave a task to Qingshui's special operations wing, ordering them to hold out in the area of Zoumayi until March of 44 from now on, and a complete set of battle plans were also sent.

The plan said that Qingshui's special operations wing would occupy a dangerous terrain, keep a piece of land that could be used to drop supplies by air, rely on air supplies, and send a number of small units to attack the Eighth Route in all directions, and in March of next year, the front army would send a number of troops from Lingqiu, Laiyuan, Manchen, Fanzhi, and other places to converge with the Qingshui Wing in the central area of the Eighth Route to wipe out the Eighth Route in northwest Hebei in one fell swoop.

As soon as the official task was issued, it had to be officially read out to all the officers and men, and for this reason, except for the troops in the garrison fortifications around it, the rest of the people gathered at the airdrop field north of the town of Zoumayi at dawn, and after the formation was completed, the adjutant of Shimizu Daisa, Iwao Nagaichi Nakasa, read out the announcement of the front army.

These ten days of speculation and dissatisfaction have been temporarily left behind with the reading of the order, these old devil soldiers said seriously, all of them are war machines that kill our Chinese like hemp, although there will also be dissatisfaction, but with the order of the Supreme Command, no one dares to disobey, but on the contrary, they all cheer up their spirits, to survive this long four-month winter, so that they can retire and go home, no one wants to throw their lives in this mountain and be eaten by wild dogs!

The corpses of the devil soldiers who died on the other side of the river yesterday and were not brought back were found by the soldiers on the north bank early this morning to have been bitten by wild dogs, leaving only white bones!

At this morning exercise, in addition to the adjutant general's reading of the order, Shimizu Daisa also made a few remarks, announcing the establishment of a combat supervision team, which will be formed by the wing headquarters to form a squad similar to a military police, and anyone who finds that he is afraid of the enemy, retreats from the battle, retreats without a fight, and robs and privately distributes food and other materials will be dealt with in accordance with military law!

A total of ten rules were announced, all of which were head-killing regulations. Of course, the big stick is a carrot, Qing Shui also said, and he personally guarantees that everyone is dead or alive, after this garrison battle. will receive a rich reward, both from the front army and from his personal gift!

On the spot, the list of rewards for those who had died in battle and those who were disabled and could no longer fight, and the amount of money to be distributed was enough to buy a piece of land to live well after returning to Japan.

The devil also plays the trick of a brave man under the heavy reward, of course, it is very good, and the low morale for more than ten days is indeed a boost! In the end, Shimizu announced that the airdrop field in the north of the town would be renovated immediately, and the land would be leveled and a small airstrip would be built to allow small planes to take off and land, so that the wounded soldiers who could no longer fight could be transported out in batches.

This was a suggestion given to Shimizu by the General Staff Headquarters, and large planes could not take off in such mountainous terrain. However, the modified Nakajima Type 94 reconnaissance aircraft (KI4) can land on short-distance mountain runways and can take off and return with two or three wounded soldiers.

As for the Nakajima reconnaissance plane, it is still a model that can make frequent sorties, and it is relatively resistant to manufacturing, and it can go back and forth five or six times a day, as long as the weather conditions are good. There is no blood and no wind, when they come, they bring some supplies or replenishment of the officers, and when they leave, they bring some wounded soldiers, and the most important thing is that the staff headquarters is also prepared with both hands, in case the special operations wing cannot hold on, and the reinforcements from the outside line cannot enter. It is necessary to use this light reconnaissance plane to take out the senior officers, so as not to be captured by the Eighth Road!

Of course, ordinary soldiers can't enjoy this kind of treatment, but after all, when they heard that they were injured in the construction of a small runway and could be transported away by plane, everyone was still happy that they had a guarantee in their hearts, and hundreds of devil soldiers began to use the stone grinders in the town to level the land in the valley north of the town to build an airstrip.

There is another problem in front of Qing Shui's eyes, the plane wants to land. It is necessary to fly low from the north into the narrow valley where the town of Zoumayi is located, and after the nose is aimed at the runway from north to south, the nose is reduced to reduce the altitude and fall, and during the landing, the aircraft flies at a low altitude due to the slow speed. It is the most vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire, and according to the data of the landing of reconnaissance planes, it is necessary to take the village of Wumen in the north of the valley!

This valley starts from the Tang River channel in the south of the horse post, and after reaching Wumen Village in the north, the terrain begins to rise, and the road changes from a flat road to a curved mountain road, and along the rising platform begins to go over the mountains and mountains to Qinglonggou, Shuibao and other places.

If the reconnaissance plane wants to land down after descending in altitude, it will almost fly over the top of the platform on the platform where Wumen Village is located, and the speed will also drop to almost the lowest at this time; if the Eighth Road wants to put some machine guns in Wumen Village, it will not be too much, and there will be four or five reconnaissance planes with very poor protection, and they will basically only be beaten!

Besides, when I went back, it happened to be on the platform where Wumen Village was located, which was in the stage of acceleration and elevation after taking off, and it was also the time when it was most vulnerable to ground fire.

So if you want the plane to take off and land smoothly, you must take Wumen Village! For this reason, when the troops were building an airstrip, Shimizu Daisa dispatched 12 large and small artillery pieces and two reinforced squadrons of more than 500 people to begin to move to Wumen Village, which was six miles away.

Wumen Village was behind the platform, that is, on the northern slope, and the southern slope faced the narrow valley where the Zoumayi was located, and the Japanese had earlier observed that this area was defended by eight roads, and at that time it was mainly on the high ground on both sides and the river beach in the south, and there was no tentative attack on the north.

From 10 o'clock in the morning, the artillery bombardment officially began, and at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the infantry had already stormed the lower part of the platform, and in the battle of the two mountain bags on the east side of the road on the south side of the platform, they were still encountering the stubborn resistance of a small force of troops on the eighth road, and they thought that they could pass a few miles away, but they did not expect that it was covered by artillery and the infantry group charge, and it took two hours to break through to the foot of the mountain.

The defense here is a newly established detachment of the teaching brigade, and the old detachment has basically been exhausted in Nanmazhuang, which is a detachment after supplementing the personnel of the temporary combat brigade of the division, and their defense area is the highway line from Wumen Village to Wulinggen, which is about ten miles long, and there are three natural villages, and the defense from Wulinggen to Qinglonggou is the Baishishan Guerrilla Brigade of Shuibao Township.

After the battle began, a platoon of reinforcements was sent down to hold back the attack of the devils, but it also suffered heavy casualties, and more than 40 people were basically all killed, so they withdrew three wounded soldiers.

Yang Bangzi, who received the devil's attack on Wumen Village, did not know about the devil's plane, so in order to reduce unnecessary losses, he ordered a detachment to withdraw to Xipotai, and at the same time asked the Baishishan guerrilla brigade to send a squadron to support.

Because using Wumen Village to Xipotai is a slippery mountain road, if the devil wants to go to Xipotai, he has to go around the ravine, and it is much better to fight devils on such terrain than to defend in Wumen Village.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the devil occupied Wumen Village, he would no longer go north, but began to excavate fortifications on the northern slope of Wumen Village to build a position!

After Yang Bangzi received the information, he couldn't judge what the devil was going to do for a while, so he could only think that the devil wanted to occupy a support point in the north.

The devil's airstrip was repaired in two days, and it was not bad on the day of repairing the run, the wind was less than three levels, and there were no heavy clouds in the sky, and the big sun made a rare appearance in winter, and the devil's small reconnaissance plane buzzed in!

When the scouts of the special training camp saw the devil's small plane landing on the platform of Wumen Village from a distance, they ran to report it to Yang Bangzi, and this stupid big man slapped his thigh and shouted that he was fooled! He didn't expect that the devils attacked Wumen Village to cover the plane's landing!
