The last time Masao Tanimoto left, he not only held a press conference, but also did some other things, such as sending out a lot of investigation teams, and instructing these investigation teams to report any unusual movements immediately and not to wait!

Waiting is war!

I have to say that although Masao Tanimoto lacks courage, he still has his own abilities in some foresighted events.

At that time, he analyzed that the reason why the Kwantung Army delayed launching the attack was, on the one hand, because the troops had not been assembled, and on the other hand, because he was cowardly and afraid of death.

The 72nd Division did not take the initiative to attack, mainly because the occupied land had not been digested well. In addition, after being upgraded from the 72nd Brigade to the 72nd Division, many troops were in the process of reorganization.

Taking into account the actual situation of both sides, this guy came to the conclusion that it would be very difficult for the Kwantung Army to attack.

However, it might take half a month for the 72nd Division to launch an attack, so dozens of reconnaissance teams were dispatched to the entire Rehe grassland.

The current commander in Aohan is Inoue Fuuo, the commander of the Inoue Brigade.

This guy is an academic in the Japanese Army. He has studied in some military academies in Europe and the United States. He follows a procedure in doing everything. After arriving in Aohan, this guy immediately began to deploy troops, paying special attention to the defense of armored forces.

He had seen many battles of the 72nd Brigade and believed that the main reason why the 72nd Brigade was invincible was due to the advance of jeeps and armored vehicles. So after arriving in Aohan, this guy dug several circular defense lines around Aohan.

Don't you want to rely on the assault capabilities of your armored vehicles and jeeps to rush into our positions? Then we'll dig a trench big enough to trap your armored vehicles and jeeps.

In order to dig the trench in a short period of time, not only were more than 17,000 local laborers forcibly conscripted, but more than 3,000 laborers were also transported from the northeast to work day and night.

At this moment, this guy was at a construction site outside the city, watching the surrounding soldiers beating the Chinese laborers.

"Mr. Inoue, this work is too hard. They only get a little over three hours of sleep a day, and many people are about to fall asleep while standing. If we continue working like this, I'm afraid there won't be many people left alive. By then, the trenches won't be fully dug, and that will only delay your work."

Liu Mazi is the chairman of Aohan's maintenance association. Most of these people were captured by him, but at least this guy still has a conscience.

"Liu Sang, when did you start to be kind? Have you started to care about these laborers? Do you know how swiftly the 72nd Division's attack is? If their army showed up right now, with our current strength, we wouldn't be able to hold out for even a week before the trenches were dug. And after Aohan falls, do you think you'll have a good life? Just because you served as our maintenance chairman, your whole family will suffer. You don't have to believe what I say, but you should find out how the Chifeng maintenance chairman died."

Inoue Fuxiong glanced at Liu Mazi next to him. He looked down upon such spineless Chinese people.

But now is the time when they are needed to find labor, so they cannot get away from these traitors.

The chairman of Aohan's maintenance association was originally a sworn brother of Liu Mazi. They had been bandits together in the past, and had committed many crimes including burning, killing, and looting.

After the Japanese came, the two of them became the chairmen of the Japanese maintenance association, helping the Japanese exploit their compatriots and gaining a foothold in the local area.

After Zhang Haiguang occupied Chifeng, that guy was transferred directly to the city gate tower by Zhang Haiguang because he had killed people and aroused great public anger, and he did not allow his family to collect the body.

Zhang Haiguang did this in order to win the hearts of the people. Now that the Second Security Brigade is in Chifeng, everyone gives them a thumbs up. When Liu Mazi thought about how he had killed his brother, he felt a chill all over his body.

When Chifeng City fell, he shouted with the Japanese, demanding to capture Chifeng City and avenge his brothers.

When he looked at these laborers now, there didn't seem to be as much kindness in his eyes.

The reason why I said those things before was because I was afraid that too many people would die of exhaustion. There are not many ordinary people around Aohan. If these people all died here, who would I, the chairman of the maintenance association, eat?

"Mr. Inoue is right. If we lose this territory, these guys won't remember our kindness."

While Liu Mazi was talking, he was directing several of his lackeys to patrol everywhere with whips, looking for those who were lazy and beating them hard with the whips.

According to him, beating you with whips is actually good for you. At least after beating you, you will work hard. If the Japanese see you being lazy, they won't even use the whips and will come at you with bayonets. How can you save your life?

"Yoxi, Liu Sang, your loyalty is clearly seen by the Huang army. I will report all your contributions to the commander in chief during this war. When we conquer Rehe, you will become the chairman of the Rehe Province Maintenance Association."

After hearing what Inoue Fuxiong said, Liu Mazi became even more excited. He wanted to snatch the whip from his men's hands and beat the people hard himself to make them work faster.

There was contempt in Inoue Fuxiong's eyes. Even if Rehe was taken, if you wanted to be the chairman of the provincial maintenance association, it would depend on the gifts you gave, otherwise it would not be your turn.

After walking around the position for a long time, Inoue Fuxiong stretched and was obviously tired.

"Madam, why don't you go back to the city and rest? I'll be watching over here. I'm sure we'll be able to dig it out in a few days. Also, the girls from Chunyu Tower have already been sent to your home."

Liu Mazi's words made Inoue Puxiong very happy. Instead of being blown by the wind and sand here, it would be better to go back and have some fun, which would also allow him to relax. After the real war starts, no one knows what the outcome will be!

Thinking about his friends, all of them died in the battle with the 72nd Brigade. Although he was the brigade commander with the rank of Major General, many officers of the 72nd Brigade also died.

"Yoshi! You have a very good conscience! I will recommend you as the chairman of the Rehe Province Maintenance Association at the headquarters meeting!"

Inoue Fuxiong was praising this guy while preparing to return to the city, but a gunshot in the distance almost made him fall off his horse.
