Chapter 450 The helmet is in place!

Naturally, the head of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army did not know that Li Yunlong had stopped at this time.

If there is no business, Li Yunlong will definitely take advantage of the enemy's illness and kill the enemy.

But for the sake of gaining the wool, better training and summarizing the actual combat experience for the recruits, and seeing the reaction of the devils, Li Yunlong stopped fighting.

Moreover, Li Yunlong has already obtained information that the devils want to build stronger and thicker bunkers and gun towers.

This is exactly what he wants.

Although this kind of bunker and gun tower is very troublesome to deal with, but he has a flamethrower and a 150mm howitzer, and it is not impossible to use it.

And gnawing on this kind of hard bone can accelerate the improvement of the combat effectiveness of recruits.

On the other hand, the price offered by Boss Chen made it impossible for him to refuse.

Tonight, the Xinyi Regiment did not attack the devil's blockade anymore, but they deployed a large number of secret sentries in the direction of the devil's blockade to prevent the devil from entering the base area for sneak attacks.

Although the 36th Division did not dare to invade the base area on a large scale, it is still necessary to prevent the devils from burning, killing and looting in the periphery.

However, if the devils dared to enter the base area, Li Yunlong would be able to lead his troops to raid the devil's lair.

Now the new regiment is equipped with more than 100 vehicles, and its mobility is not a joke with devils. It can reach the county seat in less than 2 hours by car.

After dark.

A neat column of devils and puppet troops lined up from the county seat.

Trucks towed mountain artillery and howitzers, even armored vehicles and tanks were dispatched, and the devils, carrying heavy weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns, almost came out in full force.

Two nights ago, the Xinyi Regiment cleared up the outer blockhouses and blockhouses, and the rest were almost all blockhouses and blockhouses not far from the county seat.

Not long after, the devils and puppet army units arrived at the positions of the gun towers and bunkers according to the instructions.

Then the devils came out of the bunkers and gun towers with weapons, and the puppet soldiers entered the bunkers and gun towers with weapons.

Even the secret whistle was replaced by puppet soldiers wearing devil uniforms.

Although the puppet soldiers knew that they were entering coffins, they had no choice but to follow suit.

The devils, on the other hand, found hidden spots and commanding heights nearby to ambush, waiting quietly for the Eighth Route Army to attack.

The 36th Division Headquarters.

The news came one after another that all the preparations were completed. Jing Guanren looked at the watch in his hand, with a sneer on his mouth, with an expression of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

The first two new regiments attacked in the second half of the night, and the fighting time was not long, only more than an hour.

Afraid of being ambushed by the new regiment, the counties only dispatched a large number of puppet troops and a small number of Japanese troops to reinforce them, and wait for the main force of the Japanese army to fight.

But the new regiment didn't want to ambush at all, it just made a quick decision. By the time the Japanese and puppet reinforcements arrived, the battle had already ended.

Although there was no clear information, both Jing Guanren and Ishikawa Zhishui were inexplicably confident, and there was a high probability that Li Yunlong would continue to attack tonight.

Especially Ishikawa Zhishui, he has been studying Li Yunlong's combat style during this time.

He came to the conclusion that Li Yunlong was a lunatic when he fought the war. He never knew what it meant to accept it when he was good. He only knew that he would kill you while you were sick.

It's still early, Jing Guanren and Ishikawa Zhishui are waiting for the good news from various ministries.

However, with the constant and ruthless passage of time, the night will soon pass, and it will be dawn soon, but there is still no news from the various ministries.

Jing Guanren and Ishikawa Zhishui looked ugly, and quickly ordered the communication room to contact the various teams to ask what was going on.

Don't they all get wiped out by Eight Routes?
Jing Guanren was taken aback by his own thoughts, if that were the case, things would be a big deal.

But in an instant, he denied this idea. Some gun towers and bunkers are very close to the county town. If there is a battle, the sound of guns and guns can definitely be heard.

Soon, the communication room got in touch with the brigades, bunkers and artillery towers. That night, the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment did not appear.

However, Jing Guanren did not give up. He believed that the Xinyi regiment was only resting for a short time and would definitely continue to attack after the rest.

According to Ishikawa's research and analysis of flood control, Li Yunlong is best at attacking.

Jing Guanren believed Ishikawa's words of water control, and the devils and puppet troops continued to go out of the city to ambush the next night.

This night, the Xinyi regiment still did not launch an attack.

But Jing Guanren didn't give up, and ordered the devils and puppet troops to ambush outside the city for seven nights in a row, but the Xinyi Regiment still didn't attack.

When will this go on?
In fact, the fact that the 36th Division suffered more than 3000 casualties has already spread among the soldiers of the 36th Division.

Coupled with this wave of stupid operations by Jing Guanren, the soldiers of the 36th Division became more and more dissatisfied with the division commander.

Jing Guanren's authority in the 36th Division was challenged. The Japanese soldiers didn't say anything, but their expressions showed dissatisfaction.

Jing Guanren, who had been up for nine consecutive days and nights, looked haggard.

He felt that he was being played around by Li Yunlong, and it was useless to think about it. The elite divisions of the Japanese Empire could not do anything to the Chinese army.

"idiot!"

Seeing Ishikawa Zhishui walking in, Jingguan Ren was so angry that he forcibly resisted the urge to slap Ishikawa Zhishui twice.

Jing Guanren said with unfriendly eyes: "Ishikawa-kun, it is because you provided a wrong analysis report that led to today's passive situation."

"Hi!"

Shi Chuan Zhishui's expression was serious, he quickly put the pot on his back, bowed his head and said:

"Division Commander, it's all because I'm too conceited. I think I've studied Li Yunlong thoroughly. In fact, I haven't studied this person thoroughly. This person's combat style is changeable and elusive. Your Excellency Division Commander, please punish him!"

Jing Guanren sighed, waved his hands and said, "If you punish him, you will be spared. Stop ambush tonight."

After all, Jing Guanren just didn't want to admit that he was too useless.

Seeing that Ishikawa has a good attitude towards water control and took the initiative to take the blame on his body, most of Jing Guanren's anger has disappeared.

There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to prevent a thief.

They went out of the city to ambush every day, but the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army did not attack at all, and the soldiers would definitely be exhausted if they did this for a long time.

Moreover, soldiers will have problems such as relaxing their vigilance and not training for a long time. When the Eighth Route Army is really attacking, the soldiers will not have much combat effectiveness, which will be very bad.

"Hi!" Ishikawa Jisui lowered his head, turned around and walked out. After walking two steps, he suddenly remembered that he had something to report.

So, he turned around and bowed his head again: "Report to the head of the division, the first batch of steel bars, cement and construction workers from North China have arrived!"

"Oh?" Jing Guanren's expression changed, "How many materials and workers are there in the first batch?"

"A total of 2000 tons of materials were transported by two trains, 300 construction workers, and more materials and workers will arrive later."

"Yo Xi!" Jing Guanren nodded, "Start the work immediately, Mr. Shi Chuan. You are fully responsible for the progress of the project. You must protect the materials and workers so that the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack does not interfere with the progress of the project."

"Hi!" Ishikawa Zhishuidao said, "There are a lot of materials transferred from North China this time. Do you want to allocate some to strengthen the city walls of the county and build some fortifications in the county?"

Jing Guanren looked at Shi Chuan Zhishui and said, "Ishi Chuan-kun, what do you mean, the reinforced and thickened bunkers and gun towers still can't block the new regiment?"

Ishikawa Zhishui explained: "Your Excellency, division commander, I don't mean that."

"But there is an old saying in China that says, be careful sailing for ten thousand years."

"In addition, I heard that Taiyuan is also strengthening the city walls, and vigorously building thickened and reinforced bunkers and artillery towers around Taiyuan City..."

"Oh?" Jing Guanren narrowed his eyes and said in a surprised tone, "Is there such a thing?"

Even Taiyuan is strengthening the city walls and vigorously building fortifications, which is worth pondering.

This shows that Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu is afraid, afraid that the Eight Routes will attack Taiyuan again, and he does not have much confidence in completely sweeping the Eight Routes.

Shi Chuan Zhishui said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have a hunch that the final decisive battle between our 36th Division and the Xinyi Regiment may be in the three counties of Heyuan, Anhua, and Ping'an."

Jing Guanren said in a worried tone: "If some materials are separated, then the gun towers and blockhouses outside the county towns will have to cut corners. After all, strengthening the walls of the three county towns and building forts inside the city also require a lot of steel and cement."

Ishikawa Zhishuidao: "On the one hand, some materials can be appropriately reduced. According to the plan of the headquarters, the thickness of the newly built gun towers and bunkers is somewhat redundant. I have ordered people to try it. The thickness of 2.5 meters to 3 meters can hold 105 mm. For the attack of howitzers, we can reduce the thickness to between 2.5 meters and 3 meters, and the thickest is no more than 3 meters, and the saved materials can be used for city defense.”

"On the other hand, your Excellency the division commander can apply to Commander Yansong for more cement and steel reinforcement materials on the grounds that the materials are not enough."

"In order to curb the development of the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment, Commander Yansong should not refuse."

"Yo Xi!" Jing Guanren nodded happily, "Ishikawa-kun, I will leave it to you to strengthen the city defense and build fortresses in the city!"

Ishikawa immediately regretted water control, and entrusted him with the gun towers and bunkers outside the city, and also entrusted him with the construction work inside the city, which immediately doubled his workload.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow his head: "Hi!"

The rule of who gives advice and who does it is the same at any time.

……

When the devils built thickened gun towers and bunkers.

The ministries of the Xinyi Regiment are also stepping up their training.

At the same time, the transport plane arranged by Chen Feng transported the reimbursed weapons and ammunition, the weapons and ammunition earned from the business and the deposit to Zhaojiayu Airport.

120 flamethrowers, gasoline and 5000 steel helmets are already in place.

After the transport convoy had transported all the weapons and ammunition to the secret warehouse, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not look at the flamethrowers, which he had seen two mornings ago, but turned their attention to the helmets.

Li Yunlong caressed the steel helmet, tsk-tsk, and exclaimed: "This helmet looks much better than the little devil's helmet. You can tell it's made of high-quality steel."

"It's lighter than the little devil's helmet, and it's more comfortable to wear. It's not a standard helmet for any country's army. It should be produced by Brother Chen's arsenal."

Zhao Gang put the helmet on his head with the same tone and expression.

The two of them looked like countrymen who had never seen the world when they came to the city.

"Try its defensive ability!"

The appearance is very good, but the quality needs to be checked. It is a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk.

Li Yunlong immediately picked out a steel helmet and set it up. He shot at the helmet with the Browning pistol that Chu Yunfei gave him from a distance of more than ten meters.

He fired several shots at the helmet, but the bullets failed to penetrate it.

After thinking for a while, he ordered Huzi to untie a grenade and put it under the helmet. With a loud bang, the helmet was blown out immediately.

Huang Erhu picked up the helmet. The surface of the helmet was pitted by bullets and shrapnel, but it was still not pierced.

"It's a damn good thing. On the battlefield, this helmet can save the lives of many soldiers."

Looking at the steel helmet in his hand, which was of excellent appearance and quality, Li Yunlong looked happy and let out a long sigh.
