    The next day, Dong Limao asked Pan Guangzu to stew the broth and served it to Wang Jiagui himself.

    Wang Jiagui lost three teeth and half of his mouth is still swollen.

    "Er Tiao, you were drunk last night, and I was drunk too. I know you don't hold grudges, so just drink the soup." Dong Limao said with a straight face.

    Wang Jiagui glanced at Dong Limao and said apologetically: "Last night Ithis morning, Military Doctor Zeng said something about me. I don't know why last night, in front of so many brothers, I said that the company commander and Military Doctor Dao"

    "Don't explain. It's not like I don't know about your stubborn temper." Dong Limao turned around and walked out. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he stopped and said without turning around: "I will give an explanation to the brothers."

    Wang Jiagui looked at Dong Limao's back as he walked out of the cave. He didn't understand the meaning of Dong Limao's last words. He shook his head and took a sip of the broth. Maybe it was too hot or the place where he lost his teeth hurt. He grinned.  Sad.

    Dong Limao asked Zeng Zifan to call Qin Haoran and come to the cave where Yamaguchi Youren and Keiko lived.

    "Mr. Zeng, give him the paper and pen and tell him that we need detailed topographic maps of the Japanese military fortifications in Songshan." Dong Limao said to Zeng Zifan.

    What happened last night, Yamaguchi Tomohito and Keiko heard it in the cave. He said a few words of gratitude, and stood up with Keiko to bow to Dong Limao.

    "He said, I am very grateful to Company Commander Dong for preventing the soldiers from entering the cave to humiliate Huizi." Zeng Zifan translated for Dong Limao.

    "Stop talking nonsense! Do as I say and draw the terrain!" Dong Limao felt very sad because he beat his good brother Wang Jiagui last night.

    Yamaguchi Tomohito still didn¡¯t move, glanced at Keiko and said, ¡°You can ask me to draw a topographic map of Matsuyama fortifications, but you must agree to let Keiko go.¡±

    After listening to Zeng Zifan's translation, Dong Limao glanced at Qin Haoran, then stared at Yamaguchi Tomohito and said: "As long as the topographic map of the Songshan fortifications you drew is consistent with the actual one, we agree to let you two go."

    After listening to Zeng Zifan¡¯s translation, Yamaguchi Tomohito¡¯s face lit up with joy and he repeatedly promised to paint it right away.

    Dong Limao and the others sat aside and watched Yamaguchi Tomohito draw pictures.

    I saw Yamaguchi Tomohito using a pencil to draw something like a sketch on the paper, and labeling various important positions in Japanese. The pictures he drew were very neat. In less than half an hour, a sketch of the fortifications was completed.  finished.

    "Have you ever studied painting?" Dong Limao asked after taking a look at the picture.

    Yamaguchi Tomohito nodded and replied: "My dream when I was a child was to be a painter, and later I studied medicine."

    "Can you give us a detailed explanation of each stronghold on the map?" Qin Haoran couldn't quite understand because the labels above were in Japanese.

    "Hi" Yamaguchi Yourito listened to Zeng Zifan's translation and immediately agreed. After taking the sketch, he spread it out on the ammunition box, pointed to the picture drawn on it, and began to explain:

    "The construction of Songshan fortifications began in June 1942, and the first phase of construction was completed by the end of the year. Later, the headquarters ordered that Songshan be built into the strongest defensive position to achieve the purpose of blocking the Yunnan-Burma Highway for a long time, so it was  Reinforce and expand the Songshan abdominal position. So far, the fortifications are still under further construction."

    Yamaguchi Yuhito explained in detail, pointing to the geographical location marked on the map he drew: "This is Gunlongpo, which belongs to the main position; this is Da Pass, which is the middle position; the rest are Songshan, Xiaosongshan, and Da  The six strongholds of Zhai, Huangjiashuijing, Huangtupo and Malutang are horizontal positions, forming an underground transportation network interconnected with the main position and the intermediate position. These strongholds have very strong mother forts. With these mother forts  The fort is the core, with several sub-forts scattered around. In total, there are more than 40 sub-forts on Songshan Mountain, and the forts serve as flank defenses for each other."

    Dong Limao once defeated Huangtupo's Mother Castle until it became powerful. Bald Horse died in that battle.

    Qin Haoran¡¯s face became uglier as he listened to Zeng Zifan¡¯s translation. He sighed and said, ¡°Gibraltar! This is simply the second Gibraltar!¡±

    Yamaguchi Tomohito continued to explain: "All fortresses, whether mother forts or sub-forts, are all bunkers. They are generally built in three layers, which is equivalent to three floors buried in the mountain. The upper layer is used for shooting, and the middle layer is used as a cover or ammunition.  It is used for grain storage. A sloping tunnel is dug in the lower level, and a basement is built at the end to connect with other forts. The forts are covered with logs with a diameter of 70 to 80 centimeters, densely arranged in rows, with as many as four or five floors, and then paved on top.  A 30 mm thick steel plate needs to be laid in many layers. I am not very clear on the specific layers. Some say there are five or six layers, and some say there are more than a dozen layers. Finally, soil is piled on the top, which is about 10 layers.  1 meter thick. Experiments have been done with ordinary mountain cannons. After hitting the fortress, there is almost no damage to the fortress.? Damage And around the protruding part of the fortress, large gasoline barrels filled with sand and gravel were placed in three rows. Between the barrels, several layers of steel plates were added, and the outside of the barrels were covered with soil. Even if 150 mm grenades were  It cannot be damaged even if hit by heavy artillery, and the shock to those sheltering inside is very slight"

    Qin Haoran became more and more mysterious as he listened, and Dong Limao also found it unbelievable that the Japanese would spend so much energy on Songshan.

    Yamaguchi Tomohito continued: "In the fortress, between the first and second floors, and between the second and third floors, there are several layers of logs with a diameter of more than 50 centimeters as intervals. Even if the first layer collapses, it will not be hurt.  The second and third floors. On the outside of the fortress, there are spider web-shaped communication trenches to connect the main positions. They are so wide that even infantry artillery can move. There are also a large number of cave-like shelters dug into the side walls of the communication trenches, and a large number of foxholes are connected.  There are two or three wire nets outside some strongholds, with a depth of 4 to 5 meters. It is said that after the Songshan fortress complex is completed, the entire Songshan will be hollowed out and resemble a large ant nest. The underground transportation network will extend in all directions, and electric lights and water supplies will be installed.  Solved. The external camouflage is very good. It is not easy to detect or destroy whether it is in the air or in person walking on it."

    ¡°Some time ago, General Juichi Terauchi, commander of the Southern General Army, Lieutenant General Shozo Kawabe, commander of the Burmese Front, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Renya, commander of the 15th Army, accompanied by Lieutenant General Matsuyama Yuzo, commander of the 56th Division, visited in person for inspection.  They watched the heavy artillery bombardment and aircraft bombing tests on site. The tests showed that several 500-pound heavy bombs directly hit the fort without causing damage to the inside of the fortifications. The commanders were extremely satisfied with this."

    When Yamaguchi Tomohito was explaining, his face showed a proud look, as if he had built this fortification himself. After the explanation, he saw Dong Limao and Qin Haoran's expressions were very ugly, and he immediately stopped his proud look.

    "I'm afraid no one will believe this drawing when I take it back. Reconnaissance planes have scouted Songshan many times, but they haven't seen any solid defenses at all." Qin Haoran said, staring blankly at the drawing drawn by Yamaguchi Tomohito.

    "What about the garrison strength and firepower?" Dong Limao asked.

    Yamaguchi Tomohito glanced at Dong Limao very appreciatively, and then said:

    "The commander of the Matsuyama garrison is Colonel Matsuyama Hideharu, captain of the 113th Regiment of the 56th Division. The main firepower network is composed of"

    Dong Limao interrupted Yamaguchi Tomohito and said to Zeng Zifan: "Mr. Zeng, record it in detail. The more detailed it is, the better."

    When Zeng Zifan had the paper and pen ready, Yamaguchi Tomohito continued:

    "The main ones are: heavy machine guns in the main fort, light machine guns in the sub-forts and flanking forts, rifles, grenades, and grenades in the traffic trenches, and mortars behind the main fort. Submachine guns and grenades are used at close range. Use various  A variety of direct and indirect fire weapons, forming a dense fire net in front of the position It is very difficult to get close to the fortress. Obstacles and ancillary facilities include: 1 to 3 barbed wire fences in front of the position, 1 to 2 Luzhai, laying mines and  Traps The positions are equipped with water pipes and lighting equipment. The garrison troops use the terrain to form positions in a planned manner, and use tall timber to build strong fortifications so that each stronghold has the ability to fight independently. Its strength is equivalent to that of reinforced concrete  permanent fortifications."

    "The main force defending Songshan is the main force of the 113th Regiment of the 56th Division and a brigade of the 56th Field Artillery Regiment directly under the division. It is equipped with heavy supplies, health teams and the first unit of the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, with a permanent strength of 3,000 troops.  Also called the 'Lameng Garrison'. By the way, there is also a comfort station in the garrison." Yamaguchi Tomohito glanced at Keiko and said, "Keiko is one of them. She and I were lovers before the war.  , I didn¡¯t expect to meet Keiko in Songshan. This reality was difficult for Keiko and I to accept. We felt that we were both deceived, so I took Keiko and ran away secretly"

    Yamaguchi Tomohito told everything he knew.

    Qin Haoran and Dong Limao have remained silent, and their hearts are filled with sadness. They never expected that the Japanese would place such a big bet in Songshan.

    Although Dong Limao knew that the later Battle of Songshan would be very difficult, he did not expect that the Japanese would actually build such strong fortifications. This was not a defense, it was completely like a long-term occupation plan.
