Chapter 254: Massive Construction
Safe City.
After a long and arduous journey, the 103rd Division finally arrived at the city.
Along the way, spies from all sides were like ghosts hiding in the dark, always monitoring the whereabouts of the 103rd Division.
Saburo Sato, the captain of the Japanese squadron stationed in Heian Castle, has been in a state of high tension these days.
At this moment, he was extremely excited, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.
Finally, a backer arrived.
His heart was filled with emotion; these days were really hard to endure.
Have you ever wondered how he spends his days?
Every day, he lived in fear and anxiety.
Since the county brigade rose to power, the Japanese in Ping'an City have fallen into an unprecedented predicament.
They no longer dared to go out of the city to carry out raids easily, because the situation outside had become extremely serious, and even the guerrillas gave them a headache.
Now, the world outside the city is full of unknowns and dangers for them.
For some unknown reason, the Eighth Route Army has been slow to attack Ping'an City.
Saburo Sato was full of doubts and he kept guessing various possibilities.
Perhaps the independent column looked down on this county town. After all, the Eighth Route Army's activities were mainly in the mountainous areas.
In his opinion, capturing the county town did not seem to have much practical significance for the Eighth Route Army.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment.
After a long wait, Saburo Sato finally saw the arrival of the 103rd Division.
The car that Nakayama Aoki was riding in slowly stopped at the city gate.
He got out of the car with a straight posture and his eyes revealed determination and confidence.
Sato Saburo immediately stepped forward and saluted, "General, welcome."
His voice was loud, powerful, and full of respect.
Zhongshan Qingmu nodded slightly and said, "Yoshi.
Captain Sato, you are very good.
It is very rare that Ping'an City has not been lost in your hands."
"Thank you, General. I have prepared the headquarters for you."
Saburo Sato said respectfully, his attitude humble and sincere.
Zhongshan Qingmu said with satisfaction: "Yoshi.
Lead the way, I will stay in Ping An City for a long time."
Afterwards, Saburo Sato brought Nakayama Aoki to the newly prepared headquarters in the city.
The headquarters is located in the center of the city, and the surrounding environment is quiet and solemn.
Its architectural style is simple and grand, showing a sense of majesty and solemnity.
..........
Day 2.
The sun shines on the earth, bringing a hint of warmth.
Nakayama Aoki summoned Sato Saburo to the headquarters.
Saburo Sato did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, as he knew very well the importance of this summons.
He immediately rode a three-wheeled motorcycle to the headquarters.
When he walked into the headquarters, he saw Nakayama Aoki standing in front of a large map, making some corrections.
That focused look seemed to be depicting a grand blueprint.
"General, what do you want me to do?"
Sato Saburo asked respectfully.
Nakayama Aoki turned around and walked to the desk, put down his pen and came to Sato Saburo.
"Captain Sato, I called you here today because I have an important matter for you to help me with.
I need you to be my guide and take me to get familiar with the environment around Ping An City. The 103rd Division needs to build defensive positions and permanent fortifications outside the city."
"Hai."
Sato Saburo responded, his voice concise and powerful.
Afterwards, Saburo Sato led a group of Japanese staff officers including Nakayama Aoki to wander around Heian Castle, familiarizing themselves with the terrain and building a defense line.
Heian Castle was a crucial breakthrough point in Okamura Neiji's plan.
It will become a springboard and logistics supply point for attacking the independent column base.
Therefore, the mission of the 103rd Division was to first establish a solid defense line in Heian City.
Nakayama Aoki and others spent a day to thoroughly investigate the terrain and conditions around Heian Castle.
Next comes the intense and busy work of building the defense line.
Countless Japanese soldiers began to take construction tools to the outside of the city to build defensive positions and bunkers.
The busy figures seemed to be preparing for an upcoming war.
Due to the strong rise of the Independent Column, most of the people in Ping'an City had fled out of the city and ran to the base of the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, the Japanese could not see many Chinese people in the city.
Apart from the Japanese invaders, they could hardly find any other labor force to utilize.
So the Japs had no choice but to send all the soldiers to work outside the city as laborers.
Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were frantically building positions outside Ping'an City, and the scene was very lively.
The entire Ping An City turned into a huge construction site, full of busy figures and noisy sounds.
The Japanese soldiers also enjoyed doing this. Compared to fighting, they preferred doing this kind of work.
Although it is a bit tiring, at least I won’t lose my life.
at the same time.
Okamura Yasuji was also in the headquarters in Peiping, discussing with many staff officers which troops to dispatch to Shanxi for reinforcement.
The rich coal resources in Shanxi are very important to the empire.
Therefore, the stability of Shanxi must be guaranteed.
In the end, Okamura Yasuji decided to mobilize the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army into the Shanxi region to strengthen the military strength in the Shanxi region.
As for the independent column, Ningji Okamura was prepared to launch a large army to encircle and suppress the enemy after thoroughly investigating the situation.
.............
Two days later.
The outskirts of Ping An City are dotted with defensive positions and bunkers.
With tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers working overtime, the 103rd Division successfully built Ping An City into an impregnable fortress.
Zhongshan Qingmu stood on the city wall, looking at the outer defense positions, and felt very satisfied.
His eyes revealed a kind of confidence and pride, as if he was proud of his achievements.
Even if the independent column used heavy artillery, it would not be easy to capture Ping An City.
the other side.
Agents of the North China Front Army and traitor agents of the Special High Section were also constantly infiltrating the base of the Independent Column to investigate the secret weapons of the Eighth Route Army.
Their figures were like ghosts, hidden in the darkness.
For the Japanese, they were very interested in the Eighth Route Army's secret weapons.
There were even Japanese military experts who declared after investigating Gushan that if the Empire could obtain the secret weapons of the Eighth Route Army, the war would end soon and the Empire would occupy all of Asia.
The Japanese headquarters became even more excited after hearing this, and ordered the agents to obtain the Eighth Route Army's secret weapons at all costs.
What Gundam didn't know was that the fuel-air bomb drove the Japanese completely crazy.
The Japanese high-ranking officials knew that if they could not obtain the secret weapons, they must destroy them, otherwise the Eighth Route Army’s secret weapons would become their nightmare.
Fortunately, the products produced by the system are of high quality and there will be no duds.
Otherwise, if the Japanese get their hands on the fuel-air bomb, it will be troublesome.
This thing is not difficult to make as long as you understand the principle.
