Rise From Eight Hundred

"Call all the company-level officers and above to me. Trench excavation will stop for now." Tang Dao ordered coldly.

Before the officers gathered together, Tang Dao drew out his bayonet and drew a simple layout diagram of field fortifications on the frozen hard ground. When he saw that everyone had gathered, he said: "I told you two days ago that the ridge line is The importance of the reverse slope tunnel, the position on the top of the mountain is the ridge.

The top of Highland No. 1 is only a few hundred square meters, so it’s okay to use an arc-shaped trench for trenches. However, the mountains of Highland No. 2 and Highland 3 are slightly flatter, and the slopes of the top of the mountain and the slopes are gentler. If the enemy attacks, you will It lacks enough depth, so we cannot make generalizations, but should adapt measures to local conditions. "

Seeing that Zhao Daqiang and Qian Dazhu, who were responsible for the construction of the trenches on Highlands 2 and 3, still looked confused, Tang Dao could only continue to explain patiently: "The trenches on Highlands 2 and 3 must be built using the width. The curvature is larger. Firstly, it is used to protect against artillery. Secondly, it can also use the terrain to form sufficient defense in depth and arrange it in steps. For example, I will put an infantry company on each of these two highlands for defense. Then, On the front line, only place one platoon."

Tang Dao's bayonet slid upward on the fortification configuration diagram and continued: "Push back thirty meters and use the slope to establish a second layer of defense. Here, put another platoon, which can not only protect the two wings of the position, but also serve as the third layer of defense. The second line of defense.”

"Sir, I know the two wings of the protection position, but where are the infantry platoon and fire support platoon I have?" Zhao Daqiang scratched his scalp and asked cautiously.

This question was a bit silly, but Tang Dao was not angry at all. Those who can become the commanders of four infantry companies are considered the best officers of the independent battalion, but those like Qian Dazhu and Zhao Daqiang are promoted from outstanding soldiers. They have not received orthodox military education and are not familiar with mountain defense warfare. I am still new to position layout, otherwise Tang Dao would not have to give lectures on the position temporarily.

"Good question." Tang Dao said.

"Defending blindly is not a real defense. Real defense should be defending while attacking. The infantry platoon in your hand is left as a reserve team in case the main position is lost. We can launch a counterattack at night to regain the position. , during the day, the Japanese army had planes in the sky and artillery on the ground. We couldn't defeat them. In order to reduce casualties, we could retreat to the tunnel behind the mountain.

There will also be trenches and positions near the tunnels. We will use the positions there to withstand them. At night, the Japanese planes will not be able to fly, and the artillery will have to catch them. At this time, if we start a night battle, the Japanese may not be able to defeat them. us. "

"In order to prevent the main position from being used by the Japanese invaders, remember that the depth of all trenches must reach 1.8 meters, and the sandbags on the parapets must reach 2 meters. Each shooting position facing the enemy position must have a sandbag no more than 0.5 meters high. The earthen platform is not facing our position," Tang Dao continued.

"Sir, why is this? In a 2-meter-deep trench, how can we shoot when we can't even raise our heads! It's inconvenient to have a platform to step on, isn't it?" The company commander, who was already familiar with Tang Dao, was also a little confused. .

"Let me ask you, are we taller or the little devil?" Tang Dao sighed.

"It must be because we are taller! Although the little devils are very stocky, their average height is a bit shorter than our soldiers. However, I think the new Sichuan Army brothers are quite tall!" replied the company commander of the baggage company.

"So! Think about it, our soldiers have to stand on that platform to shoot outside the trench. What if the little Japs who invade the trenches want to shoot at the second line of defense don't have a platform for them to stay on? You Guess what their reaction will be?" Tang Dao said with a smile.

"Haha, then they can only jump and shoot outside." Everyone reacted and laughed.

Battalion Commander Tang's move was sinister enough. Even if the first line of defense was lost, the Japanese who invaded the trenches would not be able to attack the second line of defense thirty meters away. However, the second line of defense could take advantage of its height advantage to attack as much as they wanted. Throw grenades into the trenches. Just thinking about that situation makes you feel uncomfortable.

"Sir, can we take advantage of this and voluntarily give up the first line of defense from time to time, lure them in, and then fish in a hole?" Qian Dazhu suddenly suggested with his eyes moving.

"Dazhu is a good idea, but you infantry company commanders must pay attention to the actual operation. Concentrate more of the shell guns and flower traps issued to your company to annihilate the Japanese who mistakenly enter the trenches. Shooting with rifles alone will cause too many casualties. .

Also, we have to be prepared for the Japanese commander Gouji to jump over the wall and launch an indiscriminate bombardment. It doesn't matter how the Japanese die, but if I die in my independent camp, my heart will bleed. Tang Dao nodded and reminded with a smile.

"In addition, the trenches placed at the front are also arranged in layers according to the infantry squads. Each infantry squad has a circular trench. Don't be afraid of laboring for each trench. It must be built into a ring with seven turns and eight twists. It should be spread out in depth. Each ring The trenches were connected by communication trenches, connecting small circular positions into larger ones.

Each infantry platoon-level circular position has a communication trench connected to the second line of defense. In this way, after the first line of defense is lost, you can quickly retreat and rely on the second line of defense to block the attack. The two wings are left alone and handed over to the second line of defense. .

Moreover, the heavy machine gun fire points supported by the infantry company and the fire support company must be placed in the bunker. You can't just dig a hole and cover it with sandbags. The Japanese invaders' artillery is not a vegetarian. I remember that the 18th Division should be equipped with it. There are 105 howitzers. :.

Therefore, the bunker must be covered with steel plates, logs and a 1-meter-deep soil layer, which must be strong enough to withstand the Japanese 105mm howitzer. The firing holes of the bunker must be reinforced with stones and steel plates. At the same time, there must be no blind spots in front of the bunker that can be fired by our infantry. The bunker tunnel must be connected to the infantry trench, and can be evacuated quickly when necessary.

At the same time, individual anti-artillery holes must be built in the trenches, which must be strong enough to withstand the 75mm mountain cannon. If I return tomorrow night and find that someone is lazy and the specifications of the individual anti-artillery holes are not enough, don't blame me, Tang Dao, for not giving face. Let you, the big company commanders, be whipped in front of the soldiers with your bare buttocks. Those who do not change after repeated education will be subject to military law. "Tang Dao said with a stern face.

"Yes. "All officers stood up and stood at attention, agreeing in unison.

"Get out of here and repair your fortifications. As for who will be the front-line troops, who will be the second-line troops, and who will be the reserve troops, I will return to the front line of Jiepai immediately and have no time to waste with you. I suggest that we can draw lots to solve it." Tang Dao was afraid and left directly.

Drawing lots? This is also possible? Several company commanders looked at each other for a few seconds and then scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only Lei Xiong, Guo Shouzhi and Zhuang Shisan with bitter smiles.

This can be regarded as a difficult problem that Tang Dao threw to the three of them. According to common sense, the independent battalion has four infantry companies. The second company has already fought a battle with the Japanese army in Jiepai. They should be allowed to rest anyway. The other three infantry companies are well-deserved main forces.

But now there are two more Sichuan Army battalions. It is said that another Sichuan Army battalion will also be under their command. They can't just push a few infantry companies to the front when a big battle occurs! In that case, the veterans of the independent battalion will be exhausted in a few battles.

We must protect To ensure the combat effectiveness of the defense line and consider the future of the independent battalion, how to deploy troops is definitely an operation that tests wisdom and courage.

Unexpectedly, Tang Dao, the supreme commander, just left without caring after completing the deployment of the position construction, but left this big problem to the three of them.

As for the lottery, even if Lei Xiong was bold, he would not dare to do it. Could it be that if the baggage company was drawn, all of them would be sent to the high ground as the main force!

This should be regarded as a test question that Tang Dao gave to his deputies!

The war belongs to the whole of China, not just Tang Dao. Tang Dao needs not only brave comrades who can die side by side, but also those who can A comrade who could stand on his own and continue to fight the Japanese invaders without him.

Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi must become commanders with sufficient capabilities, rather than executors of his Tang Dao orders.

8,000 soldiers and civilians worked almost non-stop for nearly 30 hours, just like 8,000 hardworking ants shuttling back and forth on three hills.

Those who had pickaxes and shovels dug the soil, while those who didn't had to use clothes to scoop up the soil, and then use various sacks or cloth bags found in Guangde City to fill them up as sandbags that could block bullets.

Those who were strong carried wood as thick as an adult's thigh to support the newly dug tunnel, while women and children who were weak helped to pass materials and build sandbags. hand.

There were no supervisors or designers. Each position had an infantry platoon leader or infantry company commander as the commander. The work efficiency was surprisingly high according to the drawings modified by Tang Dao.

The soldiers' lives depended on these fortifications that were about to be built, and the civilians' lives were because if this position could not be completed, the whole family would have no place to live in the future, and even if the devils left, there would be no house.

A miracle of engineering was slowly born in this mountain.

Those soldiers and civilians who shed their sweat did not know that this place would eventually become a legend of Chinese soldiers, as well as the sorrow of the Japanese army!

And each of them was a participant and maker of this legend. Provide you with the fastest update of Rising from Eight Hundred, Chapter 595 Miracle (Part 2) free reading. :.
