Preparing for the Sixth Division

In the former Japanese brigade command of Gaomi County, everyone showed a look of confusion on Li Guosheng's sudden military order.

Time is tight, and Li Guosheng did not give everyone too much time to think, and directly mentioned the current dilemma of the ** group.

"Brothers, I just received an intelligence report that a Japanese infantry brigade had set out from Qingdao and came to my regiment. Just now, I had ordered the cavalry company to set out first, blow up the railway, and slow the Japanese army's march speed as much as possible. However, even so, we must come up with a combat plan in a short time..."

"In addition, I must tell you that after destroying the Japanese infantry brigade, within one or two days, the main force of the Japanese 6th Division stationed in Qingdao will advance west along the railway and attack Jinan City. The Gaomi County we occupied will undoubtedly become the primary target of the Japanese 6th Division. Therefore, while responding to the Japanese reinforcements, we must also be prepared to welcome the main force of the Japanese 6th Division attack..."

Li Guosheng's words were like a stone thrown into the water, directly breaking the calm atmosphere in the conference room. Everyone's faces were shocked and shrouded in the first place.

Just when everyone was a little at a loss when they were facing this shocking news, Zhou Xingguo spoke.

"The regiment seat, how many people are there in the main force of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army..."

He was able to remain calm at this time and grasped the key to the whole problem as soon as he opened his mouth. While sighing that he was keen on his keen eyes, he replied with admiration.

"The remaining troops were about 3,000 people outside the troops going out to defend the Jiaoji Railway and the infantry brigade that was attacking our regiment. However, what worries me the most is not their troops, but their artillery advantage. According to the intelligence, the advance unit of the Sixth Division was equipped with a brigade of 75mm field artillery..."

"The Japanese army also has a large squad of field artillery troops..." Zhou Xingguo was obviously startled and asked with an incredible look on his face.

It should be clear that in the current equipment sequence of the Chinese team, the 75mm field gun is definitely a heavy artillery among heavy artillery. Ordinary infantry fortifications have no safety in front of field guns. If you do not have enough solid fortifications in the field battle with the Japanese army, you can be sure that your troops will definitely become the best target of killing the Japanese field guns...

Thinking of this, Zhou Xingguo's face was instantly shrouded in a solemn expression, and he said in embarrassment: "Room, if the Japanese army was equipped with more than a dozen field cannons, then this blocking battle would not be so easy..."

Li Guosheng nodded without comment and said firmly: "I certainly know that this blocking battle is very difficult. However, no matter how difficult it is, our ** regiment must fight this battle well, firmly block the offensive of the Japanese Sixth Division and prevent them from entering Jinan City..."

"So, in the next battle, I hope that everyone sitting here can withstand this test. You must know that this time we are not fighting a civil war, but fighting a Japanese and a national war. If anyone loses the chain on the battlefield, loses the face of my ** team, and loses the face of my ** team, don't blame me for using military law..." Li Guosheng's face instantly became serious, waiting for everyone's answer.

"Royal post, if it weren't for you, I would have been scolded by other troops. Since I came to the ** regiment, my life has been yours. I will hit whatever you ask me to... Isn't it just a Japanese devil, and I still carry a head on both shoulders. Just beware, I, Lin Hao, will never embarrass our ** regiment..." The fourth company ** Hao said with murderous aura.

"Please rest assured that the group leader is a member of the ** group in life, and the group in death is a ghost of the ** group..."

With everyone's guarantee, Li Guosheng no longer had any concerns and directly began to deploy tasks...

"Battlefield Commander Zhou, you are the most experienced in combat, and you have fought positional wars and the only battalion-level commander who has seen the power of 75mm field artillery. Therefore, the task of building blocking fortifications outside the city will be handed over to you and your third battalion..."

Although he could not participate in the subsequent battle against Japan's reinforcements, Zhou Xingguo knew that everything the regiment commander said was true. Without any hesitation, he answered directly with a confident look on his face.

"Please rest assured and ensure that the task is completed... I don't know if the group has any requirements for the construction of the entire fortification..."

After thinking about it, Li Guosheng said directly: "Of course there are requirements."

"First of all, the entire fortification must withstand continuous artillery attacks from Japanese field artillery without being destroyed. At the same time, every twenty meters away, an anti-aircraft hole for officers and soldiers must be dug, and the layers of reinforcement must be reinforced with logs and thick wooden boards..."

"The second requirement is that there must be three defense lines in total, each defense line is separated by two hundred meters, and connected by traffic trenches..."

"The third requirement is to build several permanent firepower points in the middle of these defense lines, which can at least withstand the continuous strikes of field cannons..."

As soon as Li Guosheng's request was finished, Zhou Xingguo's face became embarrassing. Because Li Guosheng's three requirements were almost impossible for Zhou Xingguo, who had only one battalion of troops. Besides, even if he had someone, there were not so many materials for him to use...

Of course, Zhou Xingguo also knew that if he wanted to use the current strength of the ** regiment to block the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, some of the requirements must be met. Thinking of this, Zhou Xingguo directly put forward his own requirements.

"I also have a requirement, that is, people and materials..."

"It's easy to solve both people and materials..." Li Guosheng said confidently.

"I just looked at our seizure in Gaomi. If we take out the ocean and grain, we go to the entire Gaomi County to recruit laborers to build fortifications. Not to mention the number of people, ten thousand people will definitely not be short... There should be no problem with using your five hundred people to manage these ten thousand people...."

"In terms of materials, there are endless materials on the Jiaoji Railway route that passes through Gaomi County... Not only are there a large number of sleepers made of logs, but more importantly, there are also a large number of rails that cannot be penetrated by the Japanese 75mm field artillery shells... I believe that with the help of these sleepers and rails, the entire fortification can withstand the continuous artillery of Japanese field artillery..."

After the suggestion was approved by Zhou Xingguo, Li Guosheng quickly turned his attention to the remaining personnel and continued to order: "The first battalion, the second battalion, the two mortar companies and the guard companies under the artillery battalion, are in person, and are ready to fight against the Japanese reinforcements..."

"Now I order all the troops to go to the east gate immediately after the meeting is dispersed. After receiving the exact news from the cavalry company, send troops immediately..."

"Yes, regiment rank..." the battalion commanders of the company replied with an excited look on their faces.
