At 11 o'clock in the evening, the special operations team sent another message, confirming that two Japanese lieutenant generals had entered the Japanese military camp. However, the Japanese officers were very cunning, and after entering the camp, they seemed to have disappeared without leaving any trace.

Lin Chuan was basically certain that the Japanese army would launch an attack from Lincheng with a high probability. He never expected that he would become a soft persimmon. Lin Chuan didn't have any idea about the two lieutenant generals. The most important thing now was to arrange the positions. A sneak attack was necessary, but he also had to find out the true level of the other side.

"Send a telegram to the captain, informing the Lunan Detachment to be ready to rush to the rescue at any time. Two Japanese lieutenant generals appeared in Lincheng, and the army is likely to gather in Lincheng."

"Send a message to the special forces, closely monitor the Japanese reinforcements, and report the location immediately after determining the assembly location. As long as they are within the mortar range, we will use artillery shells to say hello first."

After giving the order, Lin Chuan's eyes flickered. He had heard about what Chongqing had done this time. The captain didn't reveal it, probably because he didn't want to embarrass himself. Just wait and see! I just want to fight the devils. Since you choose to stand aside, I will let you see the true combat effectiveness of the Yimeng guerrillas.

At daybreak, the Japanese army landed at Dingjiazui in Jiaoxian County. As soon as they landed, they were spotted by the observation post of the New Fourth Division on Xiaozhushan. The news was passed back to the New Fourth Division, and Shen Honglie immediately began to deploy troops. It would be a joke to try to take Qingdao with 50,000 troops without the support of naval guns.

"Send a telegram to the Jiaolong Regiment, asking them to move westward and ambush at the mouth of the Dagu River. Once the Japanese army enters the firing range, we will notify them to fire."

"Send a telegram to Chen Rongwei at Cangkou Airport, the Japanese Third Fleet returned to Shanghai last night, and wait for the Japanese army to bypass Xiaozhu Mountain. Please ask them to take off the fighter planes and deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army."

At 6:30 in the morning, Chen Feng received a telegram from the Jiaolong Regiment and Chen Rongwei. Chen Feng asked Li Yunyan to call back the Jiaolong Regiment and Cangkou Airport and ask them to obey all the instructions of Shen Honglie. Flight trainees were not allowed to take off, but ace pilots and pilots aiding China could take off if they judged the situation was right, so safety came first.

The Japanese army carried more than fifty mountain cannons and field guns, and it took nearly three hours to land. Xiaozhu Mountain was occupied by densely packed Japanese troops. Contrary to Shen Honglie's judgment, the Japanese troops did not bypass Xiaozhu Mountain and march from the east, but prepared to bypass the west side of Xiaozhu Mountain and detour to the northwest. The Japanese commander was not stupid, so how could he get close to the range of the naval guns and artillery positions in the sea?

The person in charge of the attack on Taiwan was Japanese Lieutenant General Haruki Isayama, and the chief of staff was Major General Masami Ueno. After all the soldiers had landed, the two men breathed a sigh of relief. Yesterday, the air force did not blow up the two Chinese warships. The two men had been worried that the two warships would come to attack, but fortunately they still had two warships cruising, and the Chinese warships did not dare to show up.

"Mr. Ueno, you and I both overestimate China's so-called Jiaolong Regiment. The navy is not something they can easily manipulate. I heard that machine guns were installed on the ship yesterday. The empire's invincible warships are nothing more than mobile machine gun positions in their hands."

"Mr. Isayama, don't underestimate them too much. The Third Fleet came to nothing yesterday, but they still have something. At least their anti-aircraft firepower and artillery batteries cannot be ignored."

"Don't worry! This time the field artillery and mountain artillery are well protected. I don't believe their special forces can penetrate the encirclement of 50,000 troops and blow up the artillery. Mr. Ueno, let's go! Qingdao, we must return to the embrace of the empire. By the way, remind the anti-aircraft firepower again, stay alert at all times, and set up machine guns for air defense immediately in case of any situation. China has an air force, and I heard that they have recruited several Chinese pilots. Don't let them launch a sneak attack and blow up the artillery."

"Don't worry, Lord Isayama. There are twenty Type 92 anti-aircraft missiles and thirty Type 11 anti-aircraft missiles. Even with these third-rate pilots, it is still a question whether they can rush down."

Haruki Isayama was not reassured after hearing this. It was with tears in his eyes that he spoke. Can you believe that the Great Japanese Empire, which dominated the Eastern Hemisphere by land, sea and air, did not have so-called anti-aircraft machine guns?

There have been studies on this before, but they were aborted in the end due to various problems. The navy has machine guns, and the army rarely needs air defense because of the strength of the air force.

As for using Type 92 and Type 11 for air defense, it sounds like a joke. The firing rate of Type 92 is almost the slowest among the heavy machine guns in the world. As for Type 11, it uses an arc-shaped drum magazine to feed ammunition. After a battle, the most tired person is not the machine gunner, but the busy ammunition feeder.

Someone once proposed to import a batch of anti-aircraft machine guns, but was denounced by everyone. Who should we import from? Germany is an ally. If it can't even make anti-aircraft machine guns, how can it still be an ally? As for the United States, it is even more impossible. It is already looked down upon. If it imports such low-tech weapons, it will definitely be mercilessly ridiculed.

Originally, it had no impact on the low-end games in the Chinese battlefield, but when faced with the cold-shooting Yimeng Guerrillas, their disadvantage became apparent.

The difference in rifles is not very obvious. The performance of the Type 98 rifle is not as good as the Type k but the gap is not big. As for submachine guns, I dare not consider that thing because the consumption is too high. Light and heavy machine guns are severely suppressed. Even mortars are no match for them now. The only thing that has a slight advantage is the large-caliber cannon.

Looking at the dozens of wooden racks in the middle of the team, which were used to mount light and heavy machine guns, Isayama Haruki felt embarrassed every time he saw them.

I have specially studied the methods of cold gun. This man is definitely a great enemy of the empire. He always fails to seize the weaknesses of the imperial army and beat them hard. In every battle, big or small, he always strikes at the weak points of his own people. He is a ruthless man and extremely smart. This is Isayama Haruki's evaluation of cold gun.

At the New Fourth Division headquarters, Shen Honglie sat in the communications room waiting for news. He had made a mistake in his prediction. The Japanese army did not take a detour to the east of Xiaozhu Mountain, so the two warships were useless. The Japanese army's marching route was now out of reach of the artillery batteries. Even if they launched a siege, only the four land defense artillery batteries could possibly hit it. The Japs were quite smart!

"Commander, the Japanese vanguard has reached Aishan and is beyond the range of the ship's artillery. The first regiment is preparing to build a position in Chejiahe Village. Please reply, Commander."

"You idiot, why are you building a position? Tell them to respect themselves and retreat thirty miles. Don't worry about the Japs. Just push forward with all your strength. The Japanese army will definitely pass by the north of East Lake. After passing East Lake, call Chen Rongwei and ask him to blow up the Japanese artillery group before we take action."

"Yes"!

At noon, the Japanese army stopped. Isayama Haruki did not follow the advice of the commander of the Third Fleet, Hasegawa Tsuyoshi, to march quickly and attack the west gate of Qingdao. It sounded good, but the navy was the navy after all. How could they study the tactics of cold guns? A forced march meant giving up outer reconnaissance and defense. Once the enemy launched an artillery attack, hundreds of mortars would fire twenty rounds at the marching troops at high speed, and there would be no need to fight this battle.
