In the direction of Xiaozhu Mountain, Shen Zizhong was lying on Zhuzi Mountain and observing the beach with a telescope. Four Japanese transport ships were already unloading, and two warships were aiming their guns at this side.

What good stuff! There were all kinds of good stuff on the beach, including large-caliber heavy artillery, mountain artillery, boxes of shells, and bags of food. I couldn't bear to look at them. I was so greedy that I was afraid I would not be able to resist ordering the soldiers to go and grab them. However, there were two warships watching, so going up would be a death sentence.

"Lao Liu, measure the distance, can the heavy mortar hit it?"

"We can't hit it. It's out of range. But if we move forward 1,200 meters we'll definitely be able to hit it."

"Nonsense, the ship's guns are targeting us. Fire one thousand two hundred meters ahead and we'll be blown to pieces in an instant."

"What should we do? Can the thunder array behind us stop the Japanese?"

"We have to stop them even if we can't. The thunder array can't stop us. If we really let these heavy artillery go up, Qingdao City will be in danger! We may be driven back to Menglianggu. What? Do you still want to stay in the mountains and enjoy delicious food?"

"That's not possible, Commander. There are still some captured mountain and field artillery in Qingdao City, but not many shells. The division commander has been hiding them in a cave in Tiger Mountain. Do you want to ask for permission to have them towed here?"

"Damn it, is this true or not? How come I don't know?"

"After taking Qingdao City, they dragged their feet. When Regiment Commander Qu asked for it, he was scolded by the division commander, who told him to wait for Captain Lengqiang to support the use of artillery shells. The arsenal of the Yimeng Guerrillas can produce 75mm caliber artillery shells. This regiment commander must know this!"

"Stop talking nonsense, how many cannons are there? How many shells are there?"

"I heard from people in the special operations battalion of the third regiment that the shells of four field guns and six mountain guns all exploded, and only more than a hundred shells were seized."

"That's enough, four field guns are enough, communicator!"

"arrive"!

"Send a telegram to the division commander. The Japanese transport ship is unloading. We are less than five kilometers away from the beach. Request field artillery support. Please transport all the shells here. The mine array may not be able to stop the crazy Japs. We have a chance to blow them up before they rush out."

Shen Honglie was paying close attention to the situation of the thunder array. The Japanese army began to use war horses and soldiers to forcibly clear the thunder array. There were already dense corpses of people and horses lying on the thunder array. If they continued to clear it like this, it would not take long to open the passage.

The two special operations battalions had already begun bombardment. The 60mm guns and large-caliber heavy mortars switched positions and opened fire, strangling the inner area of ​​the mine array.

"Division Commander, a regiment commander sent a telegram requesting the mobilization of four field guns and all 75mm caliber artillery shells."

Shen Honglie had long forgotten about the field artillery and mountain artillery, and looked confused when he heard this.

"Field artillery, artillery shells? Where can I get them?"

"Commander, there are still some over at Tiger Mountain. You were the one who ordered them to be dragged over there. When Captain Qu asked for them once, you scolded him severely."

Shen Honglie took the telegram and read it first. He was also confused when listening to the guard's report. Then he remembered that it was true. He was waiting for artillery support from his brothers. What could more than a hundred artillery shells do?

"Send it to him. If the supporting heavy artillery is really blown up, the battle will be easier to fight. Be careful to disperse the transportation and don't let the Japanese bombers blow it up."

"Don't worry, Master. I will personally lead the escort."

"Division Commander, a telegram from the Second Regiment's Special Operations Battalion, the Japs have begun to step on landmines with their bodies."

"Explode, use 60mm fire to block the shooting, we must keep the Japanese outside the mine array."

"Master, there is no reverse slope?"

"Damn it, we can't fight without a reverse slope, right? Send up two more mortar battalions and have them fight from different positions. Tell them to harass them for three hours. Under no circumstances can the Japanese be allowed to break through the minefield within three hours. This is a death order, do you understand?"

The messenger ran away, Shen Honglie looked distressed, something was missing! The leaders were fine, but the lower ones were missing something in their brains. It was not obvious at ordinary times, but they were confused when it came to the key battle.

"Someone come here!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Send electricity to each defensive artillery position and keep them alert at all times. The two warships in Jiaozhou Bay must be protected. If any ships or vessels are found on the sea, they will be sunk immediately."

"Yes"!

Shen Honglie now needs to think about the future. The Japanese army cannot get aid, and the consumption of arms is not big, but there will be problems with food. They will either attack frantically or find a way to retreat. The retreat is blocked. Jiaozhou Bay is their only way to survive. There are more than 40,000 devils! Shen Honglie is worried that the Japanese warships will break into Jiaozhou Bay regardless of everything. If they are sunk by them, the two warships of the Jiaolong Regiment will not be able to see their brothers again.

The two warships of the Jiaolong Regiment were still cruising in Jiaozhou Bay. Outside were the Japanese warships. Wang Dalei also knew that the warships were escorting the transport ship to unload the cargo. The temptation was too great! However, he did not dare to move. He was out of the protection radius of the shore guns. It would only take a few minutes for the ship to be sunk.

"Commander, Commander Shen of the New Fourth Division called and reminded us to step up our vigilance. If the Japanese army cannot get reinforcements, they may become desperate. We must be on guard against the Japanese fleet forcing its way into Jiaozhou Bay."

Wang Dalei was shocked. It was not impossible. If they really forced their way into Jiaozhou Bay, not to mention how heavy the losses would be for the Japanese army, they would not be able to save their two warships.

"Send a telegram to the captain, detailing the current situation and asking him to make his own assessment."

Chen Feng was studying the situation in Xiong'er Mountain in Mengshan. In the morning, the Japanese army launched five attacks. The Miaonan Valley in the middle, Jiguanzigou and Dashan positions on both sides were attacked. Each position had only one squadron of troops at a time, deployed in a skirmish line, and moved forward along the explosion points under the cover of mortars.

The threat was not great, but the casualties were somewhat serious. The Japanese army was always cruel. The shells exploded fifty meters in front of the attacking Japanese army. If they were not careful, they would hit their own team, but they could also hurt the defending guard team members.

After repelling five attacks by the Japanese army, the Third Company in Miaonan Valley also lost more than fifty soldiers, including more than 30 killed, more than 20 seriously injured, and dozens of others with minor injuries. After simple bandaging, they continued to fight.

"Captain, Commander Shen of the New Fourth Division and the Jiaolong Regiment called, the situation in Qingdao is somewhat complicated."

Complicated? Chen Feng was a little confused. How could it be complicated if there was a minefield blocking it?

After reading the telegram, Chen Feng felt that he had underestimated the cruelty of the Japs. Even walking on landmines with their own bodies, the Japs were still as inhumane as ever!

Shen Honglie had already dispatched field artillery, but it would be difficult to blow up the mountains of supplies on the beach with only four guns.

"Call back the New Fourth Division and ask about the situation of Japanese aircraft today."

"Generate electricity for the Mengshan Airport, tow out five bombers and five fighters, load them with bombs and refuel them, half of them with incendiary bombs and half with explosive bombs, and be ready to take off at any time. Notify ten American pilots to be ready, and take off immediately upon receiving the notice to blow up the Japanese army's supplies and ammunition on the beach."
