Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

After Li Yunlong shaved his beard, he returned to his original appearance. This time he traveled in secret. Only the top few people in the Independent Brigade knew that Li Yunlong was the bearded guest.

After Li Yunlong came back, Zhao Gang's work became easier. Later, after getting the porcelain chess pieces, Zhao Gang also fell in love with Go, but it was just a general hobby, not as obsessed as Doctor Shui.

Many local schools have also followed suit and promoted Go. Some schools have even built special Go schools, where students can learn cultural knowledge half a day and learn Go half a day.

Under the leadership of Zhao Gang, many soldiers of the Independence Brigade also learned to play Go.

More domestic Go masters settled in the liberated areas. Even Mr. Wu, who has become a Sakura nationality, wants to return to China and restore his Chinese nationality.

Historically, Mr. Wu did want to come back and restore Chinese nationality. But at that time, Jiang Wufa was busy with other things, so how could he care about playing chess? Mr. Wu never had the chance to come back and ended up staying in Sakura Country.

It’s different now. Our international influence now exceeds that of Jiang Wufa. We very much welcome Mr. Wu back.

Later, Mr. Wu said that he had a series of Juban chess to play in Sakura Country, trying to demote the masters of Sakura Country before returning to Japan.

Shifan chess originated from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China. Two chess players play ten games in one stage, and the one with more wins is the winner.

In Sakura Country, Juban Go is a game system that originated from the Sakura Kingdom shogunate period when the four major Go families fought brutally to compete for honor in the chess world. It is widely popular in the Sakura Country chess community.

Juban chess at that time adopted a promotion and demotion system. If one side wins more than four games, the side behind will be "downgraded", that is, it will be demoted one level in terms of the number of games played.

In upgrading the 10th chess game, the chess position is first determined by the rank. If the rankings are equal, the ranking will be determined first, that is, the guess will be taken first; if there is a difference in ranking, the ranking will be determined first. At that time, it was not a matter of course to take the black chess piece. The first step was to take the black chess piece in the first and third games, and the white chess piece in the second game. Of course, it is easier to win if you take black in two of the three games.

If the rank difference is two ranks, the black chess piece will always be taken when starting, which is called a set move.

When one side's winning margin reaches four games, the share of both sides changes to one square. For example, if the two parties originally agreed to take precedence, it becomes the first to give priority to each other;

The change of the two sides' chess positions is only effective in the promotion and demotion of Shiban chess. In other games, it is still determined by the rank. When one party's rank changes, the chess positions determined in the ascending and descending juban chess will naturally become invalid.

In an era when chess players value honor above all else, the price of failure is not only the failure itself, but also the damage to reputation. The cruelty goes without saying.

If one party is defeated, the winner, who is supposed to be treated equally, will clearly be about a level higher than the other party.

Seeing this result, Dr. Shui was very glad that he did not insist on going to the south at that time. Otherwise, not only would he not have the opportunity to ask the bearded guest for advice, he would also probably not have the chance to ask Mr. Wu for advice.

Let’s talk about the demining work in Taiyuan. After more than half a month of hard work, only outside the north gate of Taiyuan there are still possible mines. The mines and bombs in other directions have been cleared.

Not all the Japanese in Taiyuan were in the city. To the east of Taiyuan, there was a mountain called Dongshan.

The main peak of Dongshan is called Hanshan. It is a high mountain with steep slopes, but it is far away from Taiyuan City and separated by several horizontal ditches. On the side close to Taiyuan City, about four or five miles away, there is a protruding mountain that overlooks the whole city.

With such terrain, the ring city extends from northeast to south, with heights and unevenness, and is eight kilometers long, like a long dragon guarding Taiyuan.

There are four major military fortresses here: Niutuozhai, Xiaoyaotou, Naoma and Shantou.

Each fortress consists of multiple large and small hills and villages forming a group position, and has dozens of reinforced concrete bunkers as the core of defense.

In addition, it is also equipped with various defense facilities such as field fortifications, Luzhai barbed wire, wall slopes and secret passages.

These four fortresses can operate independently and support each other, forming a defense line several kilometers long.

Among these fortresses, there are Japanese heavy artillery. Among the tight fortifications, they are not easily destroyed by our army.

If these four fortresses are not conquered, our army will not be able to attack Taiyuan City with peace of mind.

Therefore, the first step after clearing the mines is to lay down these four fortresses.

At 155: a.m. on July , the mm vehicle-mounted howitzers and self-propelled howitzers of the th Brigade Artillery Regiment roared.

The Japanese fortifications that were hit by heavy artillery seemed helpless. He endured the fire in silence for an hour.

But when the artillery preparations were over and the infantry charged, large-caliber howitzer shells were fired from each fortress.

If our army had not been protected by infantry fighting vehicles and body armor, there would have been heavy casualties.

"Let the artillery battalion of the 772nd Regiment suppress the enemy's artillery fire!"

The artillery battalions of each composite regiment of the 386th Brigade only have 120mm self-propelled mortars, and their range is not that far.

Under our army's artillery fire, the Japanese heavy artillery was still able to engage in exchanges with our army.

It can be seen that the Japanese have built strong fortifications for the heavy artillery.

Our army's mortars had to fire a few shots and change places, which affected the intensity of artillery suppression.

When the infantry approaches the bunker group, they will be attacked by various light and heavy machine guns, mortars, recoilless rifles, and 110mm rocket launchers.

Even our army's infantry fighting vehicles would be attacked by cannons and recoilless rifles and faltered, and several infantry fighting vehicles were damaged. Fortunately, there were not many casualties.

It can be said that since the equipment of the 386th Brigade was upgraded, it has never fought such a frustrating battle!

The artillery bombarded for an hour, but it seemed to have achieved little results.

"Brigade commander, we can't fight anymore. If we continue to fight, the infantry will have to face the Japanese heavy machine guns and mortars, and the casualties will be huge."

"Stop attacking and withdraw!"

"Brigadier Commander, the enemy's bunkers are made of reinforced concrete. I estimate that the thickness is more than one meter, or even two meters.

Our 120mm howitzer shells hit the bunker, leaving only a patch of white.

Moreover, due to terrain restrictions, our guns cannot fire directly. Even semi-armor-piercing projectiles using delayed fuses have limited destructive power because the terminal speed of the projectile can only reach subsonic speeds.

If it doesn't work, we can only send people to blow it up with tons of explosives. This will cause a lot of sacrifice, and in the end we don’t know whether it can explode. "

"What's the quality of the soil like? Can it be dug?"

"No, brigade commander. There are too many rocks and it is difficult to dig out. The enemy has been building these bunkers for at least a year. They probably also used explosives to build these bunkers and underground fortifications.

Moreover, there is an open space in front of the Niutuozhai bunker. In front of the open space is a cliff. If we want to dig a tunnel, we have to dig out 500 meters under Japanese artillery fire. "

The brigade commander carefully observed each fortress with a telescope.

"Stop attacking first and wait for me to ask Li Yunlong. That kid has mastered the new weapons. Let's see if he has any good ideas.

Let the artillery regiment fire a few shots from time to time. The Japanese have strong fortifications, and the effect of the shelling is only reflected in the first half minute. When the enemy reacts and hides in the bunker, the bombardment will have little effect.

Let the artillery regiments not fight for an hour or two at a time, but only ten minutes. "

"understand!"

The brigade commander returned to the headquarters and called the independent brigade.
