"Huh? What's the situation?" Nuo Hu's expression changed after hearing this.

"A large number of Japanese troops have gathered in Qiongzhong City, and there are still Japanese troops coming here from the direction of Haikou in a steady stream!" Another scout replied.

"I will go back and report to the regiment immediately! You stay and continue to monitor the movements of the Japanese army and report at any time!" Nuohu made a decision immediately, turned around and walked towards the side three wheels.

Soon, Nuohu and several of his subordinates boarded the motorcycle and roared towards the road they came from.

……………………

Wuzhishan, the garrison station.

Accompanied by Li Shufeng, Zhao Daquan and others, Hua was watching the training of the new recruits. After inspecting a circle of the station, Yi Zhenhua took Zhao Daquan to the entrance and exit at the foot of the mountain. About hundreds of civilians were garrisoning more than ten people.

Under the leadership of regiment soldiers, fortifications and bunkers were built.

Since the garrison had just been formed, there were too many new soldiers, and the combat effectiveness it could exert was really limited, so Yi Zhenhua thought of building a large number of defensive bunkers at the entrances and exits of Wuzhishan and along the main roads up the mountain to increase the base's defense capabilities.

However, these bunkers are not ordinary bunkers. They are special Chinese bunkers that come with the Red Army base. Each bunker is made of reinforced concrete. There are individual bunkers and large bunkers that can accommodate several or even a dozen soldiers.

Bunker.

The bunkers are all equipped with MG34 general-purpose machine guns, and under each bunker, there are hidden traffic passages connecting them. Once that bunker is in emergency or falls, reinforcements can be quickly carried out or retreat along the communication trench to the next bunker to continue resisting.

The original standard equipment of this kind of Chinese special bunker is a 20mm sentry gun and a Vulcan Gatling machine gun. However, due to the current tight funds in the base, Yi Zhenhua had no choice but to equip them with MG universal machine guns.

However, the power of the MG34 general machine gun cannot be underestimated.

In terms of defensive capabilities, although this is only the most basic bunker at the Red Army base, it is enough to withstand direct hits and bombardments from all artillery with a caliber of less than 150 mm in this era, and the Japanese army in Hainan is not equipped at all.

The 150mm heavy artillery force is impossible to pose a threat to these bunkers.

Even if they are equipped with 150mm artillery, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to directly hit the bunker hidden in the mountains, forests and grass.

Therefore, the only ones that can really pose a fatal threat to these defensive bunkers are the heavy aerial bombs carried by the Japanese heavy bombers. However, when the aircraft is flying at high speed, a slight mistake in the bomb delivery may cause a drop of hundreds of meters from the target, so I think

It is also very difficult to hit directly, not to mention that the heavyweight aerial bombs of the Japanese army are used to bomb some important strategic targets. It is impossible to carry out endless bombing for a long time, because they cannot afford this kind of consumption!

Seeing Yi Zhenhua's arrival, a superior soldier in charge of leading the team quickly ran over and stood at attention, saluting: "Seat down the regiment!"

"Well, how's the progress?" Yi Zhenhua asked, nodding.

"Reporting to the regiment, currently two of the three bunkers our squad is responsible for building have been completed, and the third one is about to be completed!" the superior soldier quickly replied.

"Well! Have the traffic tunnels been dug?" Yi Zhenhua nodded again when he heard this.

"They have all been penetrated, and necessary reinforcements and ground camouflage have been carried out according to your previous instructions!" the superior soldier replied.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. You must not be careless. Be cautious now. You may be able to save your life and that of your comrades during the war!" Yi Zhenhua said solemnly.

"Yes, please rest assured, my subordinates, my subordinates will do their best!" the superior soldier stood up and said loudly.

Next, Yi Zhenhua inspected several important mountain crossings one after another. Seeing that the project was progressing quite quickly, Yi Zhenhua's tense heart was slightly relaxed.

As long as the construction of these defensive bunkers is completed, coupled with the criss-crossing trenches and trenches fortifications, and with the commanding position of Wuzhishan, even if the Japanese really come to attack on a large scale, Yi Zhenhua will have absolute confidence to fight them.

Of course, in addition to the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Wuzhishan and the large number of defensive bunkers and fortifications built by our side, Yi Zhenhua also knew that the Japanese army in Hainan had lost one-third of its troops in previous battles.

many.

In addition to the need to stay in Haikou, Sanya and other occupied areas, Iida Xiang's mobile forces should be running out. What else can he use to attack natural dangers like Wuzhishan?

Even if the Japanese army increases its troops, Yi Zhenhua believes that fighting to the death means making up for the previous losses, because the main forces of the Japanese army have supplementary troops, that is, reserve forces, which can quickly replenish the losses of the main front-line troops when needed.

to quickly restore combat effectiveness.

Even so, the number of troops that Shoji Iida can use to attack Wuzhishan will never exceed 5,000. Although there are many troops, there is definitely a gap between the combat effectiveness of the new soldiers supplemented by these reserves and the original main force.

What's more, Iida Shoji's 2nd Infantry Regiment not only lost a large number of troops, but also all the grassroots commanders were killed. In this way, even if the 2nd Infantry Regiment is reorganized, the combat effectiveness will be 60-70% of the original unit.

Fragrant.

Therefore, Yi Zhenhua has absolute confidence that he can repel the possible invasion of the Japanese army.

But what he didn't know was that in order to wipe out the garrison entrenched in Wuzhishan in one fell swoop and completely solve the Hainan issue, the Japanese base camp reorganized the Japanese army that had stayed in Taiwan into a new army based on the 47th Infantry Regiment.

The Class B Division of the Three-Three System—that is, the 48th Division in history.

Originally, the 48th Division was only officially established around the end of 1940, and was subordinate to the battle order of the South China Front of the Japanese Army.

However, due to slight changes in the history of Yi Zhenhua, the little butterfly, the 48th Division was established in advance.

Although it is a three-thirds division, the 48th Division is also well-equipped and fully staffed, except for the three main infantry regiments, the 47th, 1st, and 2nd (note that the two 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments

The team inherited the designations of the two main units of the original Taiwan Mixed Brigade. As mentioned before, after the Japanese army captured Hainan Island, Iida Shoji's Mixed Brigade was renamed Hainan Mixed Brigade.)

There is also a search wing, the 48th Wing. As the name suggests, it is an armored force equipped with tanks and armored vehicles. The reason why the 48th Division is equipped with such an armored force is for a very clear purpose, which is to deal with the garrison.

The new "tank combat vehicle unit"

In addition, baggage, engineers, and mountain artillery were all fully equipped. In addition, there were communications, sanitation, and two field hospitals. The total combat and logistics personnel totaled more than 30,000 people.

PS: The train has been rescheduled for one day, so I will take the train at 12 o'clock tonight, which means I will arrive home tomorrow morning. It is expected that normal updates will be officially resumed in the next two days!
