Chapter 695 Tired
For a moment, the Japanese officers started arguing.
Some officers advocated taking the initiative, but some felt that the time was not right.
"idiot!"
Brigade commander Higashikawa Shojima slammed his right hand on the table, quieting everyone down.
"Notify the air force to keep a close eye on the movements of the British and American air forces. If you find their planes heading to Xincheng, intercept them immediately. Never let Yuan Shuai come into contact with the British and American forces."
"Notify Qingfeng City to gradually restore the previous artillery tower strongholds and gradually expand the territory and defense zone!"
Previously, due to insufficient manpower, they withdrew all the troops from the artillery towers and strongholds outside the city back to the county town for defense.
And now, General Yuan did not attack their Qingshan City and Qingfeng City.
Due to pressure from their superiors, they did not dare to attack Yuan Shuai immediately, but they could only use artillery towers and strongholds to gradually expand their territory and advance towards Yuan Shuai's Xincheng and rich gold mine.
At the same time, the original interval between the artillery towers was five kilometers. Now an additional artillery tower is added between the two artillery towers, so there is one artillery tower every 2.5 kilometers.
Each turret is equipped with infantry guns and mortars. Even if Yuan Shuai's troops attack any of the turrets, the people in the turret can call for artillery support.
The adjacent artillery tower can use infantry guns and mortars to provide artillery support.
The construction of the artillery tower by the Japanese was soon discovered by the Allied scouts.
Tie Xiaogang got the information and quickly ran to Yuan Shuai.
"Boss, the situation is not good, the Japs have started building a gun tower!"
Yuan Shuai didn't say anything, but Xiao Digu smiled disapprovingly.
"What's the big deal? The Japanese had artillery towers before, but we drove them away in the end. There are still many empty artillery towers now!"
"It's different this time. The Japanese didn't advance rashly. Instead, they added a turret between two turrets. The distance between the turrets was about five kilometers before, but now it's only 2.5 kilometers, which is completely within the effective range of the Japanese infantry guns and mortars!"
Hearing this, Little Sweet Potato widened his eyes in surprise.
"The damned little devils have become spirits!"
Tie Xiaogang continued.
"It's not just Qingshan City, Qingfeng City is the same. Artillery towers are being built on both sides at the same time. Low bunkers are being built on the four sides of the artillery towers. Moreover, when the artillery towers are being built, there are Japanese puppet troops guarding them. At this rate, the Japanese will soon open up the passage to the Emerald River. By then, they will be able to completely connect with the Emerald River base, thus cutting off the traffic lines between Xincheng and Zhacheng."
Yuan Shuai was suddenly stunned.
Although the Emerald River Base did not publicly announce its surrender to the Japanese, the Emerald River Base did not intercept their traffic with Zhacheng halfway.
But if the Japanese were to connect with the Emerald River Base by using artillery towers and strongholds, then the Emerald River Base would definitely be forced to declare itself the Japanese's territory.
By that time, the Jade River Base would send troops to cut off the transportation routes between Xincheng and Zhacheng without the Japanese taking any action.
If the Japanese launched another fierce attack on Xincheng, Zhacheng would definitely be intercepted by Zhong Teng's troops from Feicui River if he wanted to send troops to support.
Similarly, if Zhacheng was attacked, Xincheng would be intercepted by the Emerald River Base when he went to support.
This was also the reason why he wanted to capture the Emerald River Base before attacking Xincheng.
It’s a pity that the Emerald River Base is now controlled by Zhong Teng and has even surrendered to the Japanese.
"Damn it, Zhong Teng! He's just a bastard!"
Little Sweet Potato was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed, but there was nothing he could do.
But soon, he turned his head and looked at Yuan Shuai and made a suggestion.
"Boss, why don't we just destroy the Emerald River Base first!"
Before Yuan Shuai could say anything, Tie Xiaogang immediately retorted.
"You little sweet potato, you are out of your mind. You and I are both very clear about the defensive capabilities of the Emerald River Base. Moreover, the Japanese have been sending food, military pay, weapons and ammunition to the Emerald River Base. With the addition of the troops we have trained, the defense of the Emerald River Base will only be stronger than before! How much will we have to pay if we want to capture the Emerald River Base!"
"Once we attack the Emerald River Base, the Japanese will definitely take the opportunity to attack us. By then, the Japanese in Qingfeng City and Qingshan City will also attack us, and we will be in a very passive position!"
"What should we do? We can't just watch the Japanese seize the Emerald River Base again. If this continues, our Xincheng and Zhacheng will become isolated cities!"
"report!"
At this time, another communicator ran over quickly and handed the telegram to Fu Yidao.
After reading it, Fu Yidao frowned and said.
"Boss, the situation is not good. The Japanese in the south of the city have already started to rebuild the artillery tower. It seems that the Japanese want to surround us and attack us!"
Fu Yidao's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Although the Japanese haven't started a war yet, they will definitely start a war once the bunkers approach.
By then, they will be quite passive.
It is even possible that we will be completely wiped out by the Japanese.
Yuan Shuai gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
"What's going on with the British and American troops?"
"We have no way to contact them. If we use English, the Japanese will definitely monitor us. The radio station doesn't have their code! It's even more impossible to use plain text! Therefore, we have no idea what they are doing! But judging from the movements of the Japanese we monitored, the British and American troops should still be keeping their troops on hold!"
"Notify the scouts to continue scouting the situation and be careful! I want to be alone for some quiet time!"
After saying that, Yuan Shuai turned and left.
Xiao Digu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Fu Yidao.
"Why are you holding me? I am the boss's bodyguard now, and I have to protect the boss!"
Little Sweet Potato complained unhappily.
Originally, General Yuan asked him to be a regiment commander to lead troops in training and fighting.
But after serving as the team leader for a few days, Xiao Digu ran back and insisted on staying by Yuan Shuai's side.
Yuan Shuai had no choice but to let him stay by his side as a guard for the time being.
"You kid, didn't you hear the boss say that he wants to be alone for a while? Don't disturb him! People have already been arranged here, so there won't be any accidents!"
"Then can't I just watch from a distance? There are not many of our own people in this damn place!"
"Okay, stay away and don't disturb the boss! The boss is exhausted!"
"I know, stop being long-winded!"
Little Digu gave Fu Yidao a blank look and followed Yuan Shuai from a distance.
Yuan Shuai came under a big tree, sat against it, holding a cigarette in his mouth and smoking leisurely.
A pair of eyes looked at the branches of the big tree.
The little bird kept jumping freely on the branches, and even chirped constantly, looking extremely happy.
Yuan Shuai smiled bitterly.
He also wants freedom, as free as a bird.
But where is his freedom now?
Two cities, plus a rich gold mine, there are three bases that need to be defended.
Tired!
Yuan Shuai really wanted to close his eyes and sleep soundly for three days and three nights.
