As the foundation of Jiangqiang in the Jiaodong area, Jiangqiang naturally spared no effort in defense. After many experts and talents surveyed the terrain of Longgang Mountain on the spot, they carefully designed three permanent lines of defense. The first line of defense is at the foot of Longgang Mountain.

, is a semi-surrounding trench! The trench is made of concrete mixed with steel plates, and a large number of heavy machine guns, combat anti-artillery, anti-gun holes and other fortifications are built. There are also tunnels connected to the mountainside and mountain top fortifications!

When necessary, reinforcements at the top of the mountain and on the mountainside can go down the mountain from the tunnel for reinforcements! The second line of defense is on the mountainside. This line of defense consists of 6 large reinforced concrete bunkers, which contain howitzers, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, heavy machine guns and other heavy firepower.

There are also tunnels connected to the semi-circular trenches at the foot of the mountain and the main fortress on the top of the mountain. The third line of defense is at the top of the mountain and is an extremely strong five-story bunker!

Three floors of this five-story bunker are hidden underground, while two floors are exposed to the surface. There are tunnels underneath that lead directly to the main fortress under the main peak. There are also military facilities such as hospitals, dormitories, command posts, and ammunition depots. In terms of defense, Yang Fan has done a lot

The reinforcement and thickening is outrageous, especially the main castle on the top of the mountain. It is not only made of several meters of reinforced concrete, but also mixed with half a meter of special steel plates. Apart from big bombs, Jiang Qiang really can't think of any weapons that can blow it up.

it!

The reason why Jiang Qiang is so crazy is not because the Jiaodong area is close to the sea. The Japanese army has heavy bombers. If they can produce 2-ton or 3-ton heavy aerial bombs to airdrop, it will not be enough if the defense is weak! As for the foot and mountainside of the mountain,

The fortifications are not bad either. Anyway, the Japanese heavy artillery cannot be smashed!

Jiang Qiang smiled and said with some pride: "Chief Li, I invite you to see the show today! After practicing with the little devil for more than 20 days, it's time to make some big noise!" "Haha, I'll wait and see.

It’s really busy these days, and it’s definitely a happy and beautiful thing to see the little devil succumbing to Commander Jiang’s hands!”

Jiang Qiang smiled, put away the telescope, and ordered to Liao Youtian beside him: "Give me the order to proceed to the second phase of the offensive! The first division and the second division launched exploratory attacks against Changyi County and Wei County respectively!"

Due to the intervention of the Japanese special operations brigade, the first phase of the offensive was postponed for three days, and the special operations brigade that Nojima Rikuto had formed for more than three months was beaten to a semi-disabled state. After not daring to take the lead again, Jiang Qiang was satisfied.

Start the second phase of the offensive.

"Haha, we can finally do something real!" "Flying Tigers take off!" "All gun positions are available! One test shot, fire!"

The offensive troops, who had been waiting for a long time, started war mode one after another, and soon 3 bombers and more than 40 Mustang fighter jets that temporarily acted as bombers took off from the air base.

The artillery unit began test firing and bombardment. The tanks and armored regiments that were waiting quietly took off their camouflage, and the fully armed infantrymen clutched their guns and were ready to attack! "Commander Jiang, is it possible that you are going to have a decisive battle with the Japanese with your posture today? You are worthy of the Jiaodong Group Army."

, this momentum is beyond words! Haha! Finally we can see the real big scene!"

Looking at the fleet of aircraft flying in the sky, looking at the more than 20 heavy tanks and hundreds of infantry armed to the teeth at the foot of the mountain, Li Zongren couldn't help but praise loudly again! In the past, he was always bullied one-sidedly by the Japanese aircraft, tanks and artillery.

Now the roles have been reversed, and it's Li Zongren's turn to beat up the little devil. Even if Li Zongren is in a bad mood, he can't help it! "Haha, today is the first time for us to engage in this kind of three-dimensional combat. I'm also looking forward to the effect!"

Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly. If it weren't for Wei County and Changyi County, the number of Japanese troops gathered in Changyi County was more than 10,000, which was far from the expected target. Otherwise, there would really be a decisive battle today! "Wow! Chief! So domineering!" "Jiaodong"

Long live the Army Group!"

As military reporters and official mouthpieces, Xia Yu and Wang Hui were also invited to the Longgang Mountain Fortress. Positive publicity and military documentaries are needed at all times. As the saying goes, you have to be tough with both hands! As for reporters from other newspapers,

I'm sorry, they are not allowed to shoot and report on these military secrets. The most they can do is to inform them when releasing news!

Fifteen kilometers in front of the Longgang Mountain Fortress in Jiaodong is the Yujiayao Fortress carefully built by the Japanese army to encircle the Jiaodong Group Army. It is currently garrisoned by the 84th Regiment of the 22nd Division! Yujiayao was originally just a flat land, and later along with the kiln-burning craftsmen

The number of people carrying trucks and trucks gradually increased, making it easier to build houses and live on the side of the kiln to form villages! However, after years of excavation, several hills around Yujiayao were either razed to the ground or only half of them were left!

When Jiang Qiang established the Anti-Japanese War base area, he also considered incorporating Yujiayao into the defense zone. However, although the buildings here were densely built and looked like a town, there was no danger in the plain area! At that time, his own strength was extremely limited.

, unable to carry out large-scale construction and transformation, so we can only retreat to Longgang Mountain outside Gaomi County as the forward position!

After the Japanese army occupied Yujiayao, they originally had no intention of fortifying it into a military fortress. However, after the long-term battle with the Jiaodong Group Army and the difficulty in breaking through the defense line, the importance of Yujiayao became highlighted. Therefore, in the past six months or so,

Over time, the Japanese army has built large-scale permanent and semi-permanent fortifications in Yujiayao, and it has now turned into a military fortress covered in thorns!

But it was obvious that the Yujiayao Fortress was no longer on the same level as the Longgangshan Fortress! "Attention all gun positions! Get ready, fire!" After a test shot, more than 20 heavy cannons soon roared again.

Large-caliber artillery shells soared into the sky, and soon plumes of thick smoke were exploding from the Japanese positions!

Buzz, buzz, the bombardment hadn't ended yet, 32 Mustang fighter jets took off from the base and arrived over the Japanese positions. Then they saw bombs raining down like heavy rain! Boom, boom, boom, violent explosions continued one after another, and the remaining Japanese troops

Jiayao Fortress was instantly blasted into craters and pieces, and large tracts of houses collapsed and shattered. Even the permanent concrete fortifications built by the little devils were not immune to the continuous violent explosions!

Seen from a distance, I saw flames soaring into the sky, billowing smoke and large amounts of dust rising into the sky, turning a large area into a gray area. It didn't take long for it to be completely enveloped in smoke and dust! No need to think about it, under such a powerful artillery fire attack

Next, the little Japanese garrison in the fortification group and Yujiayao must have suffered serious casualties!

"Wow! This is so spectacular!" "Well done, kill these beasts!"

Xia Yu and Wang Hui watched with excitement and kept taking pictures. Although they could not report on the scene, these precious historical images must be preserved.

"Amaterasu! Help!" "Baga! No, the Chinese army is about to launch a general attack!" "Hurry up and get everyone into the bombholes! Hurry up!"

The Japanese defensive forces were instantly in disarray. Although they had been in constant friction with the Chinese Tigers and Guards in the past few days, and had conducted hundreds of large and small battles, this was the first time such an intensity of artillery bombing had occurred! The little Japanese were injured and died, and many of them were too late.

Those who hid in the bomb-proof caves were either blown to pieces or had their internal organs shattered!

"Reporting to your Excellency, Captain, Yujiayao Fortress was attacked by fierce artillery fire from the Chinese army! The Imperial Army suffered heavy casualties, requesting tactical guidance..." The brigade headquarters where Captain Aiba Hayabusa of the 1st Battalion of the 84th Regiment is located is a reinforced concrete fortress.
Chapter completed!
