Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 595 Miracle

"Call me all the officers above the company level, and stop the trench digging first." Tang Dao ordered coldly.

Before the officers assembled, Tang Dao pulled out his bayonet and drew a simple layout map of field fortifications on the frozen ground. Seeing that everyone was present, he said, "Two days ago, I told everyone that ridges are important for you. The importance of the reverse slope tunnel, the position on the top of the mountain is the ridgeline.

The top of the No. 1 highland is only a few hundred square meters. It is no problem to use the trenches in a straight line with an arc. However, the mountains of the No. 2 and No. 3 highlands are slightly flat, and the slopes of the tops and slopes are more gentle. If the enemy attacks, you It lacks enough depth, so we can't generalize, but should adapt to local conditions. "

Seeing that Zhao Daqiang and Qian Dazhu, who were in charge of building the trenches on the No. 2 and No. 3 highlands, still looked confused, Tang Dao could only continue to explain patiently: "The trenches on the No. 2 and No. 3 highlands have to be built with a wide width. The curvature is greater, one is to prevent artillery, and the other is to use the terrain to form a sufficient defense in depth and arrange it in layers. For example, I will put an infantry company on each of the two highlands for defense. Then, On the front line, only place one platoon"

Tang Dao's bayonet slid upwards on the fortification layout, and continued: "Push back 30 meters and use the slope to build a second line of defense. Here, put another row, which can not only protect the two wings of the position, but also serve as a second line of defense. line of defense."

"Sir, I know how to protect the two wings of the position, but I still have an infantry platoon and a fire support platoon in my hand?" Zhao Daqiang scratched his scalp and asked cautiously.

This question is a bit silly, but Tang Dao is not angry.Those who can become the commanders of four infantry companies are considered to be the best officers in the independent battalion, but those like Qian Dazhu and Zhao Daqiang are all selected from among the outstanding soldiers. The layout of the positions is still new, otherwise Tang Dao would not have to give lectures on the positions temporarily.

"Good question." Tang Dao said.

"Blindly defending is definitely not a real defense. A real defense should be an attack while defending. Leaving the infantry platoon in your hand as a reserve team is to prevent that if 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 cannons on the ground. We couldn't fight them. In order to reduce casualties, we could withdraw our cameras to the tunnel behind the mountain.

There will also be trenches and positions near the tunnel. We will use the positions there to withstand them. At night, the devil's planes cannot fly, and the artillery will have to catch them. us. "

"In order to prevent the main position from being used by the Japanese invaders, remember that all trenches must have a depth of 1.8 meters, plus the sandbags on the parapet must reach 2 meters, and each firing position facing the enemy's position must be built with a height of no more than 0.5 meters. Don't use the earthen platform facing our position." Tang Dao continued.

"Sir, why is this? In a trench 2 meters deep, we can't even shoot with our heads! It's not convenient to step on an earthen platform, isn't it?" .

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

"We must be tall! Although the little devil is very stocky, his average height is a bit shorter than our soldiers. However, I think the new brothers from the Sichuan Army are also big enough!" The company commander of the transportation company replied.

"So! Think about it, our soldiers have to stand on that earthen platform to shoot outside the trenches. What if there is no earthen platform for the little devils who entered the trenches to shoot at the second line of defense? You Guess how they will react?" Tang Dao laughed.

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

Battalion Commander Tang's move was vicious enough. Even if the first line of defense fell, the devils who entered the trench would not be able to attack the second line of defense 30 meters away. Throwing a grenade into the trench, just thinking about that situation, don't be too happy.

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

"Dazhu's idea is good. However, you infantry company commanders must pay attention to the actual operation. Concentrate on the shell guns and flower organs distributed to your company to wipe out the devils who strayed into the trenches. Shooting with rifles alone will cause too many casualties. .

Also, we have to be prepared for indiscriminate bombardment by the devil commander jumping over the wall in a hurry. It doesn't matter how the devil dies, but my heart will bleed if I kill a father in an independent camp. Tang Dao nodded and reminded with a smile.

"In addition, the trenches placed at the front are also progressively arranged according to the infantry squad. Each infantry squad has a circular trench. Each trench should not be afraid of effort. It must be built into a twisted and twisted ring. The trenches are connected by communication trenches, connecting the small ring positions into a large ring.

Each infantry platoon-level circular position has a traffic trench connected to the second line of defense, so that after the first line of defense falls, it can quickly retreat and rely on the second line of defense to block the attack, leaving the two wings alone and handing over to the second line of defense .

In addition, the heavy machine guns 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 cannons are not vegetarian. I remember that the 18th Division should be equipped with There are 105 howitzers.

Therefore, the top of the bunker must be covered with steel plates, logs, and a 1-meter-deep soil layer, which must be at least strong enough to withstand the Japanese 105 howitzers. Our infantry shoots, and the bunker tunnel should be connected with the infantry trench, and we can withdraw quickly if necessary.

At the same time, individual artillery holes must be built in the trenches, which must be able to withstand the strength of the 75 mountain artillery. If I come back tomorrow night and find that someone is lazy and digs insufficient specifications for individual artillery holes, then don’t blame me for not giving face to you These Dalian commanders were whipped in front of the soldiers with their bare buttocks. "Tang Dao confessed with a stern expression.

"Yes." All the officers quickly stood up and agreed in unison.

"Hurry up and go to repair your fortifications. As for who will be the first-line troops, who will be the second-line troops, and who will be the reserve team, I will return to the front line of the border immediately. I don't have time to spend time with you. I suggest drawing lots to solve the problem." Tang Dao Pai was afraid of his butt and left directly.

lottery?That's okay too?Several company commanders looked at each other for a few seconds and then dispersed, leaving only Lei Xiong, Guo Shouzhi and Zhuang Shisan smiling wryly at each other.

This can be regarded as a problem that Tang Dao threw to the three of them. According to common sense, the four infantry companies of the Independent Battalion and the Second Company have already fought the Japanese army at Jiepai. The infantry company is a well-deserved main force.

But now there are two more Sichuan army battalions, and I heard that there is another Sichuan army battalion under their command. We can't just push a few infantry companies to the front in case of a big battle!That would not take a few battles, and the veterans of the Independent Battalion would have to be exhausted.

It is necessary to ensure the combat effectiveness of the defensive positions, but also consider the future of the independent battalion. How to deploy and deploy troops is definitely an operation that will test wisdom and courage.

Unexpectedly, Tang Dao, the supreme commander, finished the deployment of the position and slipped away regardless, but handed over this big problem to the three of them.

As for the lottery, even if Lei Xiong was brave, he would not dare to do it. Could it be that the supply chain has won the lottery, and all of them should be sent to the high ground as the main force!

This should be regarded as a test question that Tang Dao asked his assistants!
The war belongs to the whole of China, not to Tang Dao alone. Tang Dao needs not only brave comrades who can die side by side, but also comrades who can continue to fight the Japanese invaders without him.

Both Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi must become capable commanders, not the executors of Tang Dao's orders.

The 8000 soldiers and civilians worked almost without sleep for nearly 30 hours, just like 8000 hardworking ants shuttled back and forth on the three hills.

Those who have picks and shovels dig the soil, and those who don’t have clothes and pockets of soil, and then use various sacks or cloth bags found in Guangde City to pack them into sandbags that can block bullets.

Those who have the strength to carry the wood with the thickness of an adult's thigh will go to the newly dug tunnel to support it. The women and children who have no strength will help pass the materials and hold the handle.

There are no supervisors and no designers. Every position has an infantry platoon leader or an infantry company commander as the commander. According to Tang Dao's revised drawings, the work efficiency is surprisingly high.

The reason for the soldiers is that their lives are maintained by these fortifications that will be completed soon, and the reason for the common people is because if this position cannot be completed, the whole family will have no place to live in the future, and even if the devils leave, they will have no house.

An engineering miracle was slowly born in this mountain.

Those sweating soldiers and civilians still don't know that this place will eventually become a legend of Chinese soldiers, and the death of Japanese soldiers!

And each of them is a participant and maker of this legend.
