I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

After hearing this, Ueno Naoomi was deeply impressed. As expected of someone who grew up in Hokkaido, he could play with snow in many different ways. The ground could not be dug, so tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the wild, and a circle of snow walls were built, and some circular positions were constructed on the periphery, which could really stop the Chinese from making sneak attacks at night.

At the New Fourth Division's position, Shen Zizhong was commanding the team to defend. Seeing the opponent's operation, he was speechless. This is something! The technique in the Three Kingdoms, pouring water into ice and building a city wall, I forgot which hero used it, but the commander on the opposite side is really not simple.

"Commander, a report has come in from the observation post that the Japanese military camp is also building snow walls in several other directions."

"Build it! Fifty thousand Japanese soldiers making a snowman is a rare scene. Go report to the division commander and ask him to think of a solution."

Haruki Isayama not only ordered the soldiers to build snow walls, he also sent a telegram to the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters requesting assistance, requesting artillery and shells to be delivered quickly by warships. If they were to capture Qingdao City, artillery coverage was absolutely essential.

A temporary standoff formed outside the city of Qingdao. The attack did not stop. All sequences took turns to attack. The snow wall had advanced to a distance of 75 meters from the outermost position of the New Fourth Division. In order to suppress the machine guns of the New Fourth Division, a large amount of mm caliber artillery shells were consumed. But even so, Haruki Isayama still did not activate the indirect fire artillery.

As for Lincheng, Fujita Susumu spent the whole morning organizing the troops. It was too chaotic and there were too many wounded. They could only transfer to Xuzhou, Teng County and Jining Prefecture by road. Fortunately, there were convoys from various places transporting artillery and artillery shells to Lincheng, so he could take a batch of them back to the city.

Morale was a little low. Except for the more than 20,000 defenders on the Jinpu Line, the rest of the troops were withdrawn from the Zhengtai Line and Zaoyi area. The Hundred Regiments Campaign was not won, and the Zaoyi Campaign also ended in a whimper. When they came, everyone understood that compared to the battle they had just participated in, this was a purgatory-level battlefield.

Even though the Yimeng guerrillas did not even have a regular military organization, they were a devilish team that buried nearly 200,000 imperial troops. The battle had already begun, and the team suffered a heavy blow before it even left the Jinpu Line.

After going around each sequence, Fujita Susumu and Nakayama Sadauchi smiled bitterly at each other. They thought that morale would suffer a blow, but they didn't expect it to be so serious. They couldn't wait until tomorrow. They should capture the Zhongxing Mining Area first to give the soldiers some hope.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the artillery positions west of the Jinpu Line were built.

Dozens of 75mm mountain cannons and field cannons were lined up and launched an hour-long bombardment at the Zhongxing mining area.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the infantry of the two regiments left the Jinpu Line and advanced step by step under the cover of follow-up mortar fire.

The Chinese troops on the opposite side fled at the sight of the enemy, and only a few escaped. When they arrived at the mining area, they were worried that there was an ambush, so they did not send all the troops of the two regiments in, and only sent a few search teams to search.

Half an hour later, the search team reported that there was nothing unusual in the mining area and the several mined mines were not damaged.

The two regiments entered the mining area and built positions two kilometers to the north and east. Trenches could not be dug, but there were coal blocks and coal gangue everywhere, which were packed together with hemp and were very convenient for building a defense line.

Dozens of mortars also arrived. They were going to build reverse slope positions on the coal gangue mountain in the mining area to resist the sneak attacks and counterattacks of the Chinese army. Mountain artillery and field artillery also began to cross the Jinpu Line and approach to set up positions, and some even advanced into the mining area.

Haruki Isayama was very cautious. He knew that he must not be greedy for credit when fighting against a cold-shooting team. In the previous encirclement and suppression campaigns, most of the troops had their artillery destroyed during their transition, thus becoming toothless tigers at the mercy of others.

Matsuyama Shimoishi, a soldier from Kyushu, fought from Songhu to Shanxi, from Shanxi to Xuzhou, and then participated in the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Zaoyi. He was wounded four times and was a true elite who had fought in many battles. Because of his injuries, he changed three divisions, from the earliest Fifth Division to the current temporary attack sequence. Now he has risen to the rank of second lieutenant.

Matsuyama Shimoishi is good at thinking and discovering problems, and it is not just luck that has enabled him to survive until now.

Standing on the coal gangue hill, I watched the soldiers working intensely on the north and south sides of the hill. On the north side, they were still transporting coal gangue to build various positions and defense lines, and on the south side, they were leveling and fixing coal gangue on the slope to build mortar positions.

Songshan Xiashi stood at the highest point and looked around the mining area. He felt that the team that attacked by the enemy would not escape so easily. What kind of killer weapon would they have? If he were the enemy, what kind of ambush would they set?

There was no one, and it was confirmed that there were no enemies anywhere in the mining area. The deepest part of the mine was also searched to confirm that there were no blasting and detonating devices. More than ten mountain cannons and field cannons were also brought up. They also had to enter the reverse slope position to deal with the enemy's artillery attacks at night.

Looking at the busy mining area, Matsuyama Shimoishi always felt a little uneasy.

"Mr. Songshan, we have discovered something down there."

Matsuyama Xiaishi was startled and quickly ran down the hill. He looked in the direction indicated by the artillery and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The artillery built a position and dug out a pile of explosive packs. A pile of explosive packs was insignificant, and the appearance of explosive packs in a mining area was nothing to be surprised about, but the two things tied to the explosive packs made Song Shanxia Shitou's skin numb.

The small clock was tied together with a few round objects. Four words popped into Matsuyama Shimoishi's mind: time bomb.

A trap, everything is a trap. The real killer move is here. No wonder the mine was not destroyed and the machine was not taken away.

There has been no news about time bombs for a long time. Has everyone become slack?

"Retreat, there is an ambush, everyone retreat, get out of the mining area, quickly"!

Song Shanxiashi's hair stood up all over his body, and he crawled to the top of the coal gangue. At this moment, he did not consider his own life. Two or three thousand soldiers had entered the entire mining area, and a lot of light and heavy firepower had also come in. He had to make them withdraw.

The artillerymen below were confused. Many soldiers did not know that this was a time bomb. Ambush? Where was the ambush? The artillerymen stopped building their positions and picked up their Type 38 rifles to look around.

Songshan Xiashi didn't care about the dozens of artillerymen anymore, he climbed up the hill and shouted in all directions:

"Run, evacuate the mining area, the explosives will explode soon."

The roaring sound spread throughout the nearby mining area. Many busy soldiers stopped their actions. After hearing the explosives about to explode, they were stunned for a moment. Then they reacted and dropped what they were holding and ran out desperately.

Songshan Xiashi suddenly felt that he was flying. Without any warning, he and the coal gangue mountain were flying together.

It's over! It's too late! At this moment, Matsuyama Shimoishi didn't worry about his fate. The image of a mysterious man emerged in his mind. Cold gun, is it so cruel? Why would such a terrible man be the enemy of the empire?
