The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China as a whole was not easy, it was even more difficult to live in this era, and it was even more difficult to shoulder the responsibilities of this era in this era.

"The brothers who died are lying there, and I don't know if the snow will cover them!" Li Weimin raised his head and looked into the distance.

Fu Yisheng was stunned, he had long been accustomed to death in the war, the death of less than 2,000 people was really nothing to him, he didn't know how Li Weimin sat in the position of division commander, he fought all the way, death was already commonplace, Fu Yisheng's seat was really a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"Some of those brothers I know, some I don't know, but more than ninety percent of them are Taihang Mountain people, their fathers, children, and wives are all watching them behind their backs, and no one thought that they wouldn't even see their corpses in the capital!"

Li Weimin did not know every soldier in the army, but he believed that these soldiers knew him, and they believed that their division commander could lead them to see the victory of the war, but Li Weimin disappointed them.

"Master Li is dead, and you should cherish the living talents!"

Li Weimin shook his head helplessly, since he fell ill last time and then returned to the front line, his whole person has changed a little, he has become sentimental, and he misses those dead brothers even more, he doesn't know why he has become like this, maybe he really began to fear death.

"Any news?"

"There is no news, but I suspect that the Japanese army should have built underground fortifications in the rear after the Nomenkan!"

The two talked about the reason for the defeat in this battle, and so far they have not found the real reason, how the Japanese army hid their forces so that they did not notice it, and then suddenly killed them at the necessary moment.

After a series of intelligence, Fu Yisheng suspected that the Japanese army had built large-scale underground fortifications in the Suiyuan area, first, to hide soldiers and weapons, and secondly, to use these underground fortifications as fortifications to prevent the enemy from attacking.

However, these are all speculations by Fu Yisheng, because he has not found any definite evidence to prove this, that is, he has not found where the underground fortifications are.

"How so?" Li Weimin frowned, how big an underground fortification can hide so many troops, and there must be no trace, if they don't know the exact location, they will suffer a big loss in the future.

"Some time ago, the Japanese army was crazy about catching strong men, and some villages, men and women, young and old, were taken away, and they didn't know where they went!"

"Men, women, and children?"

This is a new situation for Li Weimin, the Suiyuan area is already sparsely populated, and it is very likely that there will be no one in some local villages arrested by arresting strong men in this way.

"Yes, my soldiers went to scout, and more than two dozen villages were empty!"

"Did you flee?"

"It's not like the people who fled will close the doors of their homes, and the valuable things in their homes will also be taken away, these villages have one thing in common, their homes are turned into a mess, and the courtyard doors are wide open, as if it is too late to close!"

"Looks like we're going to have to investigate!"

Liao Fan has already ordered him to investigate the reason, even if Liao Fan does not give the order, Li Weimin must find out the real reason, if he is not prepared this time, they will still encounter the same problem next time, he doesn't want to risk the lives of soldiers again.

Fu Yisheng stayed with Li Weimin for two days, and when the weather was clear, he rushed back to his headquarters. And Li Weimin sent most of the scouts in the army out, and according to the clues provided to him by Fu Yisheng, he went to find the underground fortifications of the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area.

After the first snowfall, the temperature plummeted, and although the sun was shining, the biting cold wind on the line of the Great Wall made people reluctant to leave the fire. However, the fighters braved the bitter cold and insisted on training.

"The farther north it goes, the colder it gets, you look at this hot water, it freezes in less than five minutes when it comes out of the house! Wash your face with ice ballast! ”

The cold north of the Great Wall and the south of the Great Wall are completely different things, maybe they live in the embrace of the mountains, the mountains block the cold wind with their bodies, when they were originally in the mountains, they didn't feel so cold, but when they came to the north of the Great Wall, the cold wind was howling, and they wore as many clothes as if they were bare-bottomed.

"Regiment commander, discuss with the division commander, let the brothers rest and rest these days, this kind of ghost weather, the soldiers are going to get frostbitten, you look at my ears, I haven't had frostbite for more than 30 years, I ran around with the soldiers yesterday, and after I came back, my ears became like this!"

When a company commander came to the regiment headquarters to report to the regiment commander, he pointed to his ear and complained, because yesterday his ear was frostbitten.

The head of the regiment glanced at him impatiently: "You are delicate, who do you think you are?" Ladylike? Do you want to arrange two nannies for you, one will bring you tea and pour water to wash your feet, and the other will warm your bed? ”

In fact, the regiment commander also went to the division headquarters yesterday to put forward his opinions, and the result can be imagined, he had just experienced failure, and then heard that his subordinates had such remarks and ideas, Li Weimin unceremoniously scolded the regiment commander and told him whether this regiment commander did not want to be a regiment commander.

The regiment commander didn't expect his subordinates to complain to him today, and directly went back in Li Weimin's original words.

"If you don't want to do it, don't do it! Go home and pick up the children, the wife and children are hot on the kang, don't suffer here anymore! ”

"Commander...... I'm just whining, look at you, why are you still in a hurry? ”

"Let me tell you, there are more than 20,000 officers and soldiers in our division, you see if they complain!"

Although the division commander scolded the regiment commander and the regiment commander scolded the company commander, Li Weimin was not unaware of the impact of such weather on people's bodies, and if he stayed outside for too long a day, it was very likely to cause non-combat attrition, but if he wanted to train indoors, Li Weimin could still think of a way to solve the problem if he wanted to train indoors, and Li Weimin could still think of a way to solve it, but if the 20,000 officers and men wanted to treat them equally, it was estimated that it would be difficult to do it, not to mention that Li Weimin was Chairman Chiang.

"Two more of our officers fell ill!" The chief of staff said to Li Weimin, "These two officers came from the south with us, and this kind of weather is really too testing for them!" ”

The biting cold wind whirred, but the loud slogans of the warriors outside overshadowed the cold wind.

"Which regiment is this? Enthusiasm for training is so high? Li Weimin asked the chief of staff curiously.

"The third regiment has just been changed today, and the station is around the division headquarters, responsible for protecting the security of the division headquarters!"

Li Weimin walked to the door, and sure enough, he saw that it was the soldiers of the third regiment training: "The regiment commander took the lead, and the soldiers' enthusiasm for training was really high, but this kind of weather is easy to hurt the body just by enthusiasm!" ”

Although it is a summer training and winter training can hone people's willpower, in addition to causing frostbite, the excessively cold weather is also prone to typhoid fever, which is easy to spread diseases in densely populated troops.

"Inform all units that tomorrow morning and evening's training will be canceled, and the fighters will be allowed to attend classes indoors! The patrol still has to be arranged! ”

Although he can't change anything, at least he can still make a decision when he trains outdoors during the warmer hours of the day.

"By the way, what are you talking about in such a cold weather?" Li Weimin suddenly thought of something.

In such an extreme climate, it is impossible for the little devil to be exposed half of the time twenty-four hours a day, and the little devil has been here for more than two years, so he must have experience.

The reason why Li Weimin thought of the little devil was because Fu Yisheng mentioned the underground fortifications excavated by the little devils, which reminded him of the underground fortifications that Liao Fan organized to dig to defend against the Japanese attack in Taihang Mountain, and Li Weimin also dug in the area of Feihuling. It's just that they don't need such fortifications now, so Li Weimin didn't organize the underground fortifications anymore.

The chief of staff glanced at his division commander and thought to himself, could it be that the little devil really got into the ground? When they were besieged by the Japanese army, they had to go underground to deal with the Japanese army, and now the little devils have also learned their method, and then used this method to deal with them.

"In such weather, the Japanese army will definitely change its defenses, as long as we keep an eye on the troops they are changing guards, we will be able to have a chance to find out if the little devil really has underground fortifications?"

"Yes, Chief of Staff, this matter will be left to you, the soldiers who go out to reconnoiter must pay attention to keeping warm, don't do it in this kind of weather, when the Japanese army's actions are not detected, our soldiers are frozen to death in the field!"

Scouts sometimes lie in the field in order to observe the enemy's movements, and may not change places for days and nights, and at this time, in this kind of cold weather, people can easily passively lose consciousness, and then die in the field unconsciously, Li Weimin does not want his soldiers to die quietly like this.

In the vast wilderness, it is not easy to find the underground fortifications of the Japanese army. The defense area of the Japanese army is not a tourist attraction, you can come if you want, you can leave if you want, once you are discovered by the Japanese army, you want not a ticket but a life. Moreover, the Japanese army's underground fortifications will definitely be very hidden, and it is impossible for people to easily find out, otherwise there will be no military value at all.

More than half a month has passed, and the soldiers have also come back with the news that the Japanese army has changed its guard, but the scouts followed the Japanese army and disappeared without a trace, and finally returned in vain.

"Thousands of Japanese troops just disappeared?" Li Weimin became more and more convinced that the underground fortifications of the Japanese army were in the vicinity of the Japanese army's disappearance.

"Division commander, according to our calculations, the Japanese army will change its defense at least once every seven days, and we have tracked it twice, both of which were lost in this place!"

Li Weimin arranged all the old scouts, and these veterans were able to follow them, which is enough to prove the concealment of the Japanese army's underground fortifications, and it is difficult for them to find the specific location if there is no one to guide them. Li Weimin is still faintly worried, this underground fortification is probably not just as simple as hiding troops and storing ammunition, I am afraid it also has strategic value.
