Although Doihara has a map of Wanjialing in his hand, he only knows the defense of Wanjialing.
And without heavy artillery, this map would have no meaning at all.
Of course, the Japs have planes and can continue to bomb Wanjialing.
Although the Dragon Boat Festival has ordered people to build a large number of anti-aircraft firepower fortifications, machine guns are machine guns. As long as the little devils drop bombs at high altitude, there is nothing anyone can do.
So twice a day bombing has become a daily routine.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Lao Abacus organized people to dig air-raid shelters on Wanjialing to avoid the bombing of the Japs.
Of course, the little devil also took the opportunity to launch several attacks, but all failed.
The first is because the Japs did not attack with all their strength, and the second is because the terrain on Wanjialing is indeed complicated. Even if the little devil knew the fortifications arranged by Xia Shanhu, it would be useless. Facing the absolute terrain and without heavy artillery, it was difficult for the little devils to make progress.
Doihara and Momotaro even attempted a night attack. But the result was still beaten back.
Lao Shou was in charge of posting the sentinel at night. If the little devil wanted to sneak attack at night, it would be just a dream.
So in the following days, the supervision team and the people on Wanjialing frantically dug air-raid shelters, while the Japs' planes bombed twice a day.
The two sides were at a stalemate.
Of course, the little devil won't just sit back and wait for death. Doihara has already dispatched large-caliber cannons according to his own plan, and can shoot 10 to 20 kilometers away.
And as long as these heavy artillery reaches Wanjialing, all the defenses on Wanjialing will be useless.
And just as Momotaro said, these four 160mm cannons will be transported from the direction of the racecourse, thus avoiding harassment by the 115th Division.
And accompanying this artillery brigade, there was also a small Japanese baggage unit. They were raised by the Japanese in the mountains.
Tens of thousands of Japs are living in the mountains, and eating and drinking every day is a big problem. If there are no supplies, they will all starve to death in less than half a month.
So just ten days later, an artillery brigade of more than 400 people, pulling four 160 mm cannons and fifty or sixty supply trucks, slowly entered Li Yunlong's base area.
That's right, he, Lao Li, now has a base, in the area of Jiazhuang and Zhoujiadian.
This Li Yunlong had guessed when he retreated to Wanjialing on the Dragon Boat Festival that the 115th Division was harassing him on the east side. If the kid wanted to take supplies, he would definitely come in from the mountain road on the west side.
It's just that he, Old Li, didn't expect that there would be so many Japs, and there would also be four large-caliber cannons.
He, Li Yunlong, really liked this thing. If he was given one, he would be willing to trade it with his wife.
Of course, Lao Li doesn't have a wife, but he also wants to change her!
However, he has too few people, only more than 400 people at home and abroad, and they are all new soldiers with little combat experience.
Therefore, Lao Li definitely has a solution. Less than half a month after the Dragon Boat Festival, the team has grown to more than 400 people. And all the members are equipped with the little devil's 38-type rifles, so that's what they call awesome.
But there were too many enemies. Li Yunlong saw that there were at least a thousand people on the other side, an artillery brigade, a transport brigade, and an infantry squadron to protect them along the way. It would be difficult to take action.
But with all the fat in his mouth, should he, Li Yunlong, give up? That is impossible.
Li Yunlong retreated directly with his people.
Zhang Dabiao asked: "Commander, let's not fight?"
Li Yunlong said: "Of course we have to fight, but can we fight head-on? Even if that little devil is an artillery or a baggage unit, we can't afford it. What's more, there is an infantry squadron. This special If the mother wants to fight, we are not enough people to fill the gap between her teeth."
Zhang Dabiao said in confusion: "Then what should we do?"
Li Yunlong said proudly: "Then it depends on us, Lao Li. This little devil wants to go into the mountains, and he has heavy artillery and luggage. But Te Niang doesn't even think about where he is? This is in the mountains. The mountain road is not only rugged, but there are also places where the little devil's car cannot pass at all. If they want to pass, they have to pave the road.
As for us, we went around to the front to ambush. Moreover, I watched these little devils along the way, and they were completely undefended. These little devils must think that the supervision team has gone to Wanjialing, and there are no Chinese troops nearby. So we were aiming for an ambush. "
Zhang Dabiao still didn't understand, because if they could ambush, they would have done so just now. Why wait until we take a long detour and then ambush?
But seeing Zhang Dabiao dumbfounded, Li Yunlong said angrily: "You kid, why haven't you understood? Explosives, and those grenades left by Brother Dragon Boat Festival for us, are they to embolden us? Are they for us to fight against the Japs?" .
Let me tell you, the Dragon Boat Festival brothers are smart. As soon as I said that I wanted to stay, the Dragon Boat Festival brothers understood that I was going to beat up the little Japs. He was afraid that we didn't have enough firepower, so he left us so many things.
So it's really boring to fight with you. When the little devils withdraw, I will still cooperate with the Dragon Boat Festival brothers. "
Li Yunlong waved his hands with a look of disgust. He felt that the only person who could cooperate with him, Lao Li, in fighting now is the Dragon Boat Festival brother.
So for his Dragon Boat Festival brothers, he also has to win this battle. He took his people back to Jiazhuang and brought everything he could carry. Among them were thirty boxes of explosives. These things were all captured by the little devil.
Six grenadiers including forty rounds of artillery shells were also brought.
Although the two mortars only have twenty rounds of shells, these things have strong firepower and can definitely play a huge role.
There were also twenty boxes of grenades packed at the bottom, and Li Yunlong also asked the soldiers to carry them. With more than a hundred rifles and 30,000 rounds of ammunition, he, Lao Li, used all his wealth this time.
According to what he said, Lao Li, this is called being reluctant to let go of your children and not being able to ensnare the wolf.
If he can win this wave, he can have a good year.
Although this year is over, it doesn't matter. If we fight this wave of devils, we can survive next year. Moreover, he, Lao Li, used the weapons and equipment of these little Japs to recruit a group of young men to follow him and fight against the Japs.
"Zhang Dabiao, take two people and go to Xiamapo to keep an eye on those little Japs. I guess the Japs' truck won't be able to go there. If you keep an eye on him, if the Japs' truck passes over Xiamapo, you will Come find me in the woods five kilometers away right now, do you understand?"
Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao if he understood? Zhang Dabiao said in surprise: "Commander, you want to set up an ambush in the woods? Isn't that okay?"
Li Yunlong said angrily: "Why not? This battle is all about these explosives. If we don't hide it carefully and are discovered by the little devil, all our work will be in vain. Go quickly!"
Li Yunlong scolded, Zhang Dabiao did not dare to say anything more, and took the two veterans and went straight to the dismounting slope! .
