Chapter 604 Motianling Fortress

Seeing the scene in front of him, he looked behind him at the outline mountain that hid the arsenal, the core of the base area. Liu Hua couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. After a brief shock, Liu Hua slowly woke up and looked at the

Director Wang Daoguang asked.

"Director Wang, from the defense line at Shimenling to the arsenal in Outline Mountain, along the more than ten kilometers of mountain roads, how many lines of defense have we deployed, and how many troops have we maintained on this line of defense."

"Defense line? Commander, the entire arsenal is located in the hinterland of the base area, hidden in the mountains. In addition, there is Shimen Ridge in front, which can be regarded as an almost indestructible defense line. More importantly, these more than ten kilometers

The mountain roads all have very favorable terrain. Even if they are attacked by the Japanese army, it is not too late to deploy defenses. Therefore, apart from some guard posts, no troops are deployed along the more than ten kilometers of mountain roads." Wang Daoguang said.

The chief replied.

"How can this be done? The arsenal is the core of our base area, and it can also be said to be the heart of our entire base area. In any case, we cannot be careless. Don't forget, our field army, despite several small victories,

In the Mengshan area, we have a temporary advantage."

"However, in terms of overall strength in the entire three northeastern provinces, our field army is like an ant and an elephant compared to the Kwantung Army. In addition, the Kwantung Army has absolute artillery and air superiority, and we must not underestimate it.

After seeing the strength of the Kwantung Army." As soon as Wang Daoguang finished speaking, Liu Hua immediately denied it. Facing the puzzled commanders in front of him, he explained firmly.

"Yes, Commander. These more than ten kilometers of mountain roads all have dangerous terrain. As long as we can rely on these terrains and dig and build some simple defenses, we can turn it into an iron wall. Relying on the terrain, we can block the Japanese attack.

I will order the Logistics Department tomorrow to allocate some personnel to participate in the construction of the entire fortification." Seeing the serious-faced Commander Liu Hua in front of him, Wang Daoguang quickly replied.

"Commander, tomorrow I will deploy the engineering regiment directly under the fifth column to participate in the construction of fortifications. A complete fortification will be built in the shortest possible time." Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu followed closely.

Then he said.

Regarding the two people's answers, Liu Hua shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, Lao Yang, Director Wang, you have misunderstood. What I want here is not a solid defensive position, but a solid

Fortress. Let’s go back to the headquarters first. After dinner, I will tell you my specific thoughts.”

"Yes, Commander..." Several people replied affirmatively. Following closely behind Liu Hua, they quickly walked towards the headquarters not far away.

In the headquarters canteen, although there are bowls of tempting meals on the table in front of everyone, at this moment, everyone's minds are occupied by Commander Liu Hua's words, "Build a fortress."

Attracted. There is no thought at all to enjoy the sumptuous dinner in front of me.

So, after a few people hurriedly finished their dinner, they gathered around Commander Liu Hua and walked quickly into the headquarters' war room. Standing in front of a huge combat sand table, they looked at the terrain from Shimen Ridge to Gangyang Mountain.

, it was clearly displayed in front of everyone through the sand table.

Of course, like a sharp sword, a mountain ridge across the two places suddenly appeared in Liu Hua's eyes. Looking at the mountain ridge in front of him, and seeing mountains on both sides of the mountain ridge, Liu Hua's eyes couldn't help but

He couldn't help but ask Wang Daoguang beside him: "Director Wang, tell me the specific situation of this mountain ridge, the more detailed the better. Also, the two hills on both sides of the ridge, and the several hills in front

, introduce them all to me one by one."

"Yes, Commander..." Although Wang Daoguang was very puzzled by Commander Liu Hua's order, he still pointed to the mountain ridge on the sand table and said: "This mountain ridge is called Motian Ridge, with an altitude of more than 800 meters. If the troops want to

From Shimen Ridge to the Outline Mountain area, you must climb over Motian Ridge from here. Otherwise, there is no access. As for the mountains in front of Motian Ridge, the altitude is between 500 meters and 1,000 meters. In addition,

, the soil in these mountainous areas is very hard due to the long-term freezing in the Northeast."

"Very good..." Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, his face full of excitement.

Because, at this moment, a huge war scene seemed to have formed in his mind. And this huge war scene was unfolding around the Motianling Fortress that was about to be built in the sand table.

Thinking of this, Liu Hua immediately raised his head and continued to ask Wang Daoguang in front of him: "Director Wang, in your logistics department, are there any college students or professors who specialize in civil engineering?"

"Studying civil engineering, let me think about it. Yes, commander, there really is one. His name is Wang Zhonghua. He is a university professor who specializes in teaching civil engineering. Because the three northeastern provinces were occupied by the Japanese army, Professor Wang immediately led

With my family, I entered our base area. At present, Professor Wang has successfully joined the Communist Party of China. I am considering whether to find a time to send Professor Wang to the Kangda University in Yan'an to cultivate more talents for our party?

"After thinking for a short time, Wang Daoguang replied affirmatively.

"Okay... you immediately send someone to call Professor Wang Zhonghua to the headquarters. Hurry, go quickly..." The civil engineering professor is a very important figure to Liu Hua at this moment.

Because if Motian Ridge, a huge military fortress, is not understood by a civil engineer, there will be only one result, that is, it can only be imagined and cannot be implemented. Thinking of this, Liu Hua's face immediately revealed

He ordered with excitement and eagerness.

"Commander, what is so important that Professor Wang Zhonghua is asked to come here? Until now, I am still in the dark." Looking at Director Wang Daoguang who left quickly, Yang Jingyu asked with confusion.

Seeing that everyone in the entire war room, except himself, was frowning and looking at him with doubtful expressions. After thinking briefly, Liu Hua explained.

"Comrades, come and see: if we can build an indestructible military fortress in Motianling, it will not only protect the military factory, but also the core of our entire base area. At the same time, we can also use this military fortress to protect our base in the future.

One day, a large number of Japanese troops will be killed and wounded. We can even launch a large-scale battle centered on the military fortress of Motianling."

"A large-scale battle, Commander, I still don't particularly understand. What is the connection between building a military fortress and launching a large-scale battle?" Yang Jingyu asked, still puzzled.

"Contact? Let's take a good look at the terrain from Motian Ridge to Shimen Ridge and see if there is anything to gain." Liu Hua asked with a mysterious face.

"Terrain... Commander, there is a full ten kilometers from Shimen Ridge to Motian Ridge. However, in general, this terrain looks like a big pot. And the entire mountain road is located at the end of the whole big pot.

Bottom."

Thinking of this, Yang Jingyu's eyes lit up, and he said with a look of realization: "At that time, if the Japanese army gathers heavy troops to attack the Motianling Fortress and cannot capture it for a long time, then the Japanese army will be responsible for the offensive force, and it will definitely be in the pot of the entire cauldron.

Finally, you fell into our siege... I understand, Commander, you want to use our military factory as bait one day. Use the Motianling Fortress as a flesh and blood mill to kill a large number of Japanese troops and organize a big war.

A large-scale exhibition.”

"Yes, that's it. I want to build our Motianling Fortress into a large-scale military fortress that will become the tomb of the Japanese army." Liu Hua nodded affirmatively and said.

Just when all the commanders in the war room were in shock and thinking because of deputy commander Yang Jingyu's words, Professor Wang Zhonghua, led by Director Wang Daoguang, hurried into the war room.

"Report to all heads, Wang Zhonghua of the Logistics Department has been ordered to report and ask for instructions from all heads." Walking into the conference room, he saw Commander Liu Hua, Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu and others standing in front of him. Wang Zhonghua quickly saluted, and then

, reported with excitement.

"Professor Wang, hello. I called you here today because I have an important professional issue that I need to ask you for advice. Comrade, there is also a very important task that I want to entrust you to complete. You are the civil engineer of our country.

An expert in science, I hope Professor Wang can give you some advice." Liu Hua said with a smile on his face. His words were full of respect for Professor Wang Zhonghua in front of him.

After all, at this moment, in war-torn China, experts like Professor Wang Zhonghua are very rare. And such experts, after liberation, are even more rare. To a certain extent, there are no more experts than there are at this moment.

The giant panda with the title of national treasure is precious.

"Chief, as long as it is for the sake of the war of resistance, I, Wang Zhonghua, will definitely complete it even if I risk my life. Please rest assured, chief, Wang Zhonghua promises to complete the mission." After hearing the order from the commander in front of him, Wang Zhonghua replied flattered.

In China, there has always been a saying that a scholar is useless if he is useless. But in war-torn China, this sentence is even more prominent. As a professor of civil engineering, in peacetime, he is a very popular person.

Respected experts. However, at this moment, in war-torn China, top professors like Wang Zhonghua are not only ignored, but are despised by others. These people have no desire to serve the country, but they have nothing to serve the country.

And since I joined the Anti-Japanese Alliance led by ***, I have not only been respected by everyone here. More importantly, today, the commander in front of me actually allowed me to serve the country. This has to make me feel strongly

Professor Wang Zhonghua, who was very patriotic, felt nameless excitement and excitement.

"Professor Wang. The specific situation is this. I plan to build a huge military fortress in the Motianling area, relying on the favorable terrain here. And this military fortress, I plan to rely on the mountains in the Motianling area and use cement to build it.

Underground. You are an expert in civil engineering. I want you to see how long it will take to build such a fortress and how much work will be required." Liu Hua replied.

"Build a military fortress... Chief, I don't know how big the entire fortress is exactly?" Regarding his professional knowledge, Professor Wang's face immediately showed a serious look, and he asked rigorously.

"Professor Wang, come and see the sand table. This is Motian Ridge. I plan to build a solid underground fortification system based on Motian Ridge, which is 800 meters above sea level. The entire fortification is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, all of which are poured with cement.

Made of. Including light and heavy machine gun shooting holes, infantry artillery shooting holes..."

"At the same time, the entire fortification must be buried deep underground and be able to withstand the artillery bombardment of the Japanese army and the bombing of various bombs. As for these hills, they must be hollowed out and built into a three-story basement bunker, which can

Engage the enemy on all sides. Among them, there is also an important project, which is to connect all the underground fortifications and ground fortifications underground through tunnels..." In the shocked eyes of everyone, Liu Hua pointed

With the sand table in front of me, we started talking about everything.

"Professor Wang, what do you think? How much work is required to complete the entire military fortress and how many people are needed? Of course, the most important thing is, how long will it take?" Seeing everyone who still hadn't reacted from the shock, Liu asked

Hua reminded in a low voice.

"Ah, Chief. According to your request, if the entire fortress is to block the bombardment of Japanese heavy artillery and aircraft bombing, its bunker thickness must reach two meters. And to complete this fortress, in addition to a large number of engineering personnel,

, and a large amount of cement is needed. I wonder if the base area has a sufficient amount of cement?" Professor Wang replied.

"Professor Wang, don't worry. A month ago, when we occupied the entire Baishan County, we seized 600 tons of cement that the Japanese army had hoarded in Baishan County to build bunkers around our base. I believe that these cements, plus

The large number of sleepers and rails we brought back from the railway are enough to build these fortresses." Wang Daoguang, director of the logistics department, replied.

"As long as there is enough cement and enough manpower, I can guarantee that the construction of the entire fortress will be completed within half a year. However, I cannot make an accurate judgment until specific drawings are drawn. Commander, please give me some advice.

I have one day to do the surveying and calculation of the drawings." After a brief thought, Wang Zhonghua said affirmatively.

"Okay, as long as you have confidence. Professor Wang, now I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the entire Motianling Fortress construction. By then, the fifth column engineering regiment and the recruit column, totaling more than 20,000 people, will listen to your wisdom. As for the entire Motianling Fortress construction,

All the materials needed during the construction of the fortress will be allocated to you by Director Wang Daoguang. Whatever you want, I will give you. In a word, the entire fortress must be completed and put into use in the shortest possible time.

Use." Liu Huadao.

"Thank you, Chief, for your trust. Wang Zhonghua promises to complete the mission."

"Director Wang, after the entire fortress is put into use, a special force must be established to defend the entire fortress. So, now I am ordering: Director Wang Daoguang to mobilize 3,000 people from the recruit column. Plus some

Veterans, form the first local defense force in the base area, specifically numbered as the 1st Defense Brigade of the Northeast Field Army, which has three infantry regiments under its jurisdiction. The brigade commander will be temporarily held by Division Chief Wang Daoguang, and the deputy brigade commander will be decided after consultation with the deputy commander.

"

"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission." The two men replied in unison.

The next night, while commanders Liu Hua and Yang Jingyu were eating a simple dinner and discussing the results of the day's inspection, the sound of rapid footsteps reached their ears.

Then, Professor Wang Zhonghua, who was holding a huge drawing and looking excited, rushed into the cafeteria and stood in front of the two of them.

Seeing the doubtful looks from Liu Hua and Yang Jingyu, Wang Zhonghua replied breathlessly: "Report to the chief, all the drawings of the Motianling military fortress have been drawn."

"Quickly, let's go to the war room. Lao Yang, come together and see our Professor Wang's masterpiece." After saying that, Liu Hua, who was also excited, rushed out of the dining hall and headed not far away.

I walked over to the war room.

Spreading out the huge drawing in his hand, the floor plan of the entire military fortress suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Professor Wang Zhonghua pointed at the strokes on the drawing and began to examine the two leaders one by one.

introduce.

Time passed by, and the brows of Liu Hua and Yang Jingyu sometimes wrinkled and sometimes relaxed as Wang Zhonghua introduced them. As soon as Wang Zhonghua completed the introduction, smiles appeared on their faces.

shrouded.

Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu said: "Professor Wang, that's great. If the entire fortress can really meet such standards, I can guarantee that even if there are hundreds of thousands of Japs coming, they won't be able to do anything to us."

"Professor Wang, I am very satisfied with the entire design. There is no need to change anything. By the way, how much work is required for the entire project and how long will it take to be put into use?" Liu Hua asked at this moment.

The question I most want to know.

His plan was approved by the two hands. Wang Zhonghua, who was still worried, also showed a smile on his face. Hearing Liu Hua's culture, he quickly replied: "Reporting to the head, if it is calculated based on the construction work of 20,000 people,

,The whole project will take about five months.”

"Okay, that's more. Five months is enough. Professor Wang, it's decided that you will be the commander-in-chief of the entire fortress construction. You will command more than 20,000 troops to complete the entire fortress within five months.

Construction work." Liu Hua's face immediately showed a smile and he ordered firmly.
