Aso Anren smiled and said: "Mr. Shuitian, what's the matter with you? Why are you so timid? We don't need to fight the city fortifications with the Chinese people, what we have to do is to retreat to the city and fight the Chinese people in the streets! Don't forget, in our university Under the wise leadership of the Japanese Empire, Chongjin has developed into a large city with a population of more than 50. There are countless buildings in the urban area, as well as factories and sewers. It is convenient to fight against the Chinese!"

"More importantly: we are helping the Korean people to resist the aggression of the Chinese people. We are people who win the hearts of the people. Don't the Chinese people have such a saying? Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, why should we not be able to hold it? Only we wait until Combining the fleet and reinforcements, taking advantage of the situation to counterattack, Lin Yuan's troops will undoubtedly be defeated!"

Aso Anren's words made everyone's blood boil, but Mizuta Mingyuan thought in his heart: "We have some advantages in street fighting, but are we the people who win the hearts of the people? Also, can the United Fleet beat Lin Yuan's fleet? ? Will the reinforcements come and beat Lin Yuan's troops?" Although Shuitian Mingyuan thought so, he didn't say it directly, but said: "Alright then, let's defend Qingjin with all our strength."

Aso Anren nodded and said: "I think we can completely abandon the defense around Qingjin City and concentrate on preparing for street fighting, but we also need to deploy some fortifications around Qingjin City to attract the firepower of Lin Yuan's troops."

Mizuta Mingyuan said: "The task of building the fortifications will be handed over to Oki Nobu, Da Zuo and his engineering team!"

Damu Xinhe on the side nodded again and again, and everyone discussed the matter of street fighting, and then the meeting was adjourned. Damu Xinhe found out that there was no fortification here, because the Japanese army never thought that Lin Yuan's troops would come from near Chongjin. They landed on the coast of China, and they put all their defense energy on Mount Hamgyong and the landing site.

Damu Xinhe found his subordinates and said, "Tell me, how should the fortifications be repaired?"

A team leader said: "Now we don't have many mines left, so we don't need to lay minefields, and the construction of anti-tank triangular cones is also very troublesome, and concrete mixer trucks need to be mobilized, so our fortifications should also focus on anti-tank trenches .”

Damu Xinhe shook his head and laughed, "No, absolutely no!"

Everyone thought: "Anti-tank trenches are the most suitable fortifications, why did the captain say no?" They couldn't help asking questions, and Damu Xinhe said with a smile: "Our purpose of building fortifications is not to block Lin Yuan's attack, but to Consuming Lin Yuan's strength, if we build an anti-tank trench, Lin Yuan's troops put in bridging tanks, or use bulldozers to bulldoze the earth to fill the pit, and then pass by, what can be consumed?"

Everyone nodded one after another and asked, "Commander, what kind of fortification should we build?"

Damu Xinhe said with a smile: "Of course they are fortifications and fortresses. These things are most suitable for consuming the shells of Lin Yuan's troops."

Everyone suddenly realized, and they all praised. Just as they were about to convey the order, suddenly an officer rushed in from outside and said anxiously: "It's not good, Lin Yuan's troops are coming!"

Damu Xinhe hurried out of the command post and looked into the distance with binoculars. He saw thick smoke billowing in the distance. He didn't know how many Lin Yuan's troops were there. Damu Xinhe thought in his heart: "We are engineers and don't have much combat equipment. We must not hit a rock with a pebble!" Thinking of this, Oki Shinka said: "Order the troops to retreat!" The Japanese engineering team withdrew to the city.

The troops that came were the troops led by Yuan Zhengmao. Yuan Zhengmao was proud at this time, because the No.30 Division entered North Korea, so Shen Xin also assigned five of the other six regiments of the First Division to Yuan Zhengmao's command to attack together. In Chongjin, the Ninth Regiment was responsible for the transfer of materials and did not participate in the attack on Chongjin.

The eight regiments of Lin Yuan's troops, together with the engineering, communications, and artillery units of the division, totaled nearly 2 people and more than [-] tanks. Yuan Zhengmao was surprised when he saw that there were no Japanese fortifications outside the city, and discussed with his staff: "Why don't the Japanese army build fortifications?"

The staff officer said with a smile: "The Japanese army must have given up the outer city defenses and concentrated on street fighting."

Yuan Zhengmao said: "That's right, it's the same as I thought, but if it's street fighting..." After Yuan Zhengmao finished speaking, he hesitated, and his subordinates then said: "Brigade Commander, why are you hesitating? If you kid wants to fight in the street, let's fight them." Let’s fight, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Yuan Zhengmao said with a smile: "The Japanese army still has a lot of troops. It is the worst policy for us to go hand in hand with them. In this way, immediately inform the division commander of the news that the Japanese army is preparing to fight in the street, and see what he has in mind."

Shen Xin quickly received the report, and he had no choice but to contact Lin Yuan and said, "Shuai Lin, there is a new situation on our battlefield."

Lin Yuan asked, "What's new?"

Shen Xin said: "The Japanese army wants to fight us in the streets!"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "How many people are there in the Japanese army?"

Shen Xin said: "There are about 6 people in the two divisions of the Japanese army. In the previous battles, 3 people were killed. There should be about 3 Japanese troops in the city now!"

Lin Yuan said: "[-]? Then you don't want to attack by force. We can bear it if they exchange one with us!"

Shen Xin asked: "Shuai Lin, how should we fight?"

Lin Yuan said: "The old way is to cut off their food and grass, and disturb their morale!"

Shen Xin said: "However, we don't even know how much food the Japanese army has in reserve and where the warehouses store the food. How can we cut off their food and grass?"

Lin Yuan said, "Leave this matter to me."

Shen Xin said: "Okay, I understand." After finishing speaking, he turned off the communicator, Lin Yuan thought for a while, picked up the phone on the table, and said, "Is it sunny? Bring the information on the Japanese army's food reserves in Chongjin , come to my place."

Shen Wanqing agreed, and Lin Yuan hung up the phone. Before long, she heard a knock on the door, and Lin Yuan replied casually, "Please come in."

As soon as the door opened, Lin Yuan looked up and saw Shen Wanqing walking in, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you still knocking on the door today? Do you still have to knock on the door to enter my room?"

Shen Wanqing said solemnly: "Shuai Lin, can I report to you?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What kind of trouble is this going to be? We were talking and laughing when we came out of the house together today! It will be as cold as ice now! Forget it, work is important, first find out the grain reserves in Qingjin City The situation.” So Lin Yuan said: “Okay, let’s talk about the Japanese army’s military granaries first.”

Shen Wanqing stood in front of the table, did not sit down, and said: "According to the information sent back by our agents, the Japanese army built sixteen large granaries, each of which has a grain storage level of [-] tons."

Lin Yuan thought after hearing this: "The sixteen granaries are each 160 tons. If the Japanese army fills up all these granaries, there will be [-] million tons of grain. With such a large amount of grain, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to fill them up. They can't eat it, the time to take effect is too slow with mold, so we can only use special means - blow up their granaries!"
