No. 11, Tieshizi Hutong, Peiping.

Okamura Yasuji has decided to go to the northwest Shanxi front line.

Ogito Miji is trying to dissuade Okamura Yasuji: "Genius General, you are the commander of the North China Front Army, and there is no need to go to the front line to command the battle in person."

"You can also command the battle if you stay in Peiping."

"If you are really worried, you can appoint a commander on the front line to exercise command on your behalf. You really don't have to be too close."

Okamura Yasuji said: "You need to say nothing about Ogito-kun."

"You Mojun." Ogito Sanji could only ask for help from You Mojin San, "You should persuade the general quickly."

However, Aoshimi Sanxin just sneered. He didn't know much about what Oshino Sanji's thoughts were. He just hoped that Okamura Yasuji would stay in Peiping and then appointed him to the front line to command.

How can this vision be achieved if the Three Spirits of the Great Castle is achieved?

Even if he is assigned to the front line, he can only have the third level of essence, not the third level of the Great Castle.

At that moment, Mo Jingsan said solemnly: "I think the general's idea is correct. The victory or defeat of the battle between Northwest Shanxi is directly related to the situation in North China, and more importantly, the situation in China as a whole. In order to prevent another accident, it is necessary for the general to come to the front line to command it."

"Your Mojun, you..."

When Omego Miji almost got angry when he heard this.

But Okamura Yasuji said happily: "I still understand my thoughts."

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji said again: "Okitokun, when I am not here, you will handle the affairs of the headquarters. Ashikun will go with me."

"Hayi." There are three final essences and three preludes.

Miji Ogito could only follow the slap in his head.

Two hours later, Okamura Yasuji boarded the special train to Zhengding County.

As soon as I got on the bus, a communications consultant came to report the latest battle report this morning to Yousan San with a folder.

After reading the telegram, Ashi Seizo reported to Okamura Yasuji: "Your Excellency, all divisions that were advancing along the highway and the path were attacked by the 386th Brigade."

"The 1st Division suffered the largest losses."

“In less than a quarter of an hour,”

"A strengthening squadron of more than 200 imperial soldiers were collectively broken."

He paused and said, "The roads and bridges have also been damaged a lot, so the advancement speed of each division is very slow, and it will take at least three days."

"Three days are three days." Okamura Yasuji said, "Tele to all divisions, don't worry."

Speaking of this, Okamura Yasuji turned his head and looked at the dark sky outside the window, and said, "Anyway, even if the sky is clear now, the people in the bandit area in the northwest of Shanxi cannot cross the river in a hurry."

"Hayi!" You Miao Jing San paused slightly,

He also signaled the communications officer to go back and send telegrams to various divisions.

Okamura Yasuji asked Yumo Seed San again: "Youmo Jun, have I asked about what I asked about you?"

"Hayi." You Shi Jing San said, "I have asked domestic meteorological experts, but they have a lot of research on the meteorological conditions in Manchuria and East China, and they don't know much about the meteorological conditions in northwest Shanxi."

Hearing this, Okamura Yanji's face suddenly became gloomy.

But fortunately, Youmo Jingsan quickly continued: "However, we lurked in the inside of the top Chinese government, and there was a valuable news coming from."

"Oh?" Okamura Niji said with great interest, "What news?"

There are three meditations: "Our insider sent back news that a president named Zhu from Zhejiang University is a meteorological expert and has a profound study of the meteorology in China. According to the research of this president Zhu, what is the current phenomenon in northwest Shanxi? Anyway, there will be large-scale heavy rainfall, and it will last for many days."

Okamura Yasuji said: "That is to say, it won't end in a short period of time?"

There are three paths of the ultimate essence: "There will be at least three to five days."

"Yoxi!" Okamura Yasuji nodded happily.

Three or five days will be enough.

...

In Anhua County, the headquarters of the Northwest Shanxi Column.

"This thief, it's really endless." The brigade commander stared out the window with a gloomy expression and said, "It's a good thing that our northwest Shanxi is a plateau terrain. The rain can't accumulate even if it wants to accumulate. If it were my hometown Hunan, it would have been raining so hard for so long, and it would have been flooding for a long time. I don't know how many people drowned."

As a Hunanese, the brigade commander was really impressed by the flood.

Li Yunlong said angrily: "I heard that Henan is so droughty. From the beginning of spring to now, the crops have all died. However, the rain in northwest Shanxi has not been over. How good it would be to be even."

"Yes, it would be great if it could be even." Zhao Gang sighed, "But the most troublesome thing now is that there is no way to cross the river. If the people have not crossed the river for a day, we cannot retreat for a day. I don't know how many days the rain will take?"

While he was talking, Li Xia walked in with a serious expression and reported: "Commander, the headquarters is in urgent need of telegram."

The brigade commander received the telegram and read it quickly, his face suddenly became very embarrassed, or particularly solemn.

Li Yunlong asked: "Brig Commander, what happened? What mission has the headquarters commander given us?"

"No mission." The brigade commander shook his head and said, "It just provided us with a situation that a meteorologist derived a weather forecast related to our northwest Shanxi through high-meteorological phenomena."

"Weather forecast?" Li Yunlong said in surprise, "What does this meteorologist say?"

The brigade commander said in a deep voice: "The meteorologist said that this rain may take three or four days!"

"What? It will take three or four days!" Li Yunlong said in a lost voice, "Is that over? Our fortifications will be ruined."

"There will be no problem with our fortifications." Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "Northwest Shanxi belongs to the Loess Plateau, and the water barrier is very strong, so there will be no problem even in the second half of the month, but if it rains for another three or four days, it means that the water level of the Yellow River will continue to rise."

"And it takes at least seven or eight days to wait until the water level of the Yellow River drops until it can be ferrying!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang said again: "It will take at least seven or eight days to send all more than one million people to the west bank of the Yellow River, which means we have to stay at least half a month! It will take another half a month!"

"Then you have to guard it too." The brigade commander said solemnly, "It must guard it for only one month or one year!"

"Go ahead." Li Yunlong glared at him and said in a stern manner, "Even if the Japanese cast iron, we must break off one of his steel teeth! Damn, I still don't believe it."

...

In Gujiayu Village.

All the soldiers and militia in the third division were repairing fortifications, including Commander Sun Bin, and Carlson was also digging the trenches with an engineer shovel.

Although it has been raining for three or four days in northwestern Shanxi, the water seepage is not serious.

When you dig a layer of yellow mud that is thirty or forty centimeters thick on the surface, it is almost dry underneath, so you don’t have to worry about the collapse of the tunnel or the trenches, it doesn’t exist at all.

But drainage of trenches and foxholes is a problem.

If it is a slope, drainage is quite simple. If it is on flat ground, drainage will become a big problem.

For example, Gu Xiaobei and the trench that Carlson is digging is just on a flat ground. It is definitely not possible to drain water into the tunnel, so it can only accumulate in the trenches.

So if you transport the soil back and forth, you can only step on the knee-deep water.

Then, if you accidentally slip under your feet, you will fall into the mud and water.

After one morning, everyone became mud monkeys, including Carlson.

Gu Xiaobei then found Sun Bin and said, "Commander, this won't work, comrades have worked too hard."

"What's the solution?" Sun Bin said with a grim look, "No matter how hard you work, you have to dig it. Otherwise, if the Japanese come to the door three days later and we don't have fortifications to hide, then wouldn't that be the end?"

Gu Xiaobei said: "Commander, I think it can be divided into two steps. First, dig a hole from the tunnel network below, and stop after digging it to the surface. When the weather clears, we will dig the trenches at the entrance of the cave, and finally dig a fox pit outside the trenches. This will be much more efficient. Now, people are so exhausted, so low-efficiency, and not cost-effective."

"This is a good method." Sun Bin's eyes lit up, "Okay, just do it."

Now all the soldiers returned to the tunnel to dig holes.

The tunnel is much dry.

...

The three divisions of the Northwest Military Region of Shanxi, more than 10,000 local troops and militia, digging tunnels, trenches and foxholes day and night, and four days passed in a blink of an eye.

For the past four days, the Wolf Warrior Team has been fighting outside.

I found a suitable terrain to ambush during the day, and at night I specifically attacked the Japanese camping. Anyway, I just didn’t sleep when the Japanese sleep, and I didn’t sleep even if the Japanese didn’t sleep.

Except for taking a nap occasionally during the battle,

The team members never slept well for more than ninety hours.

Just a moment ago, the Wolf Warriors attacked another forward-arm unit and delayed the 1st Division for at least two hours, but the Wolf Warriors could only stop here.

Because not far behind them is the county town of Dongxian.

Not only the county town, but the weather finally cleared up.

"Captain, look, look." Wei Xilai pointed to Dongfang Tianji and said excitedly, "Sun!"

The members of the marching on the mountain road, including Wang Ye, turned their heads one after another, but they saw a red sun rising from the horizon in the distance.

Although there are still clouds, they can no longer cover the sun's brilliance.

"Fuck!" Wei Dayong couldn't help but curse, "It's finally clear!"

Duan Peng also said: "If it rains again this day, people will become moldy."

Wang Xikui shook the rain on his body and said, "It's already moldy."
