Li Dingguo gave each of his soldiers a shovel, and ordered the troops to advance while digging trenches, so that people would not be directly exposed to the wilderness, and it would be difficult for the enemy's firepower to be effective. It was also used in the Northeast War, but at that time Lin Yuan's troops dug hard rocks, but at this time the Qing army dug soft soil.

The Qing army was digging very fast. The 65th regiment didn't know that the Qing army on the opposite side was extremely powerful. They thought that they were the same as the Qing army they had seen before. They had low fighting spirit and surrendered as soon as they were persuaded. The loudspeaker on the car shouted to the Qing army, but the Qing army remained unmoved, continued to dig trenches, and advanced towards Lin Yuan's troops.

Su Wanhai, the head of the 65th Regiment, immediately decided to fire shells from mortars to interfere with the enemy's excavation. With an order, the flames of the shells lit up the night sky, and clouds of black smoke billowed in the wilderness, but the killing effect was not good, because Mortar shells rarely fell directly into the trenches dug by the Qing army, but Su Wanhai did not worry too much, because there was a small river in front of their position, and the small river would definitely block the Qing army. Come over a hole?

Su Wanhai’s analysis was correct. The Qing army’s trenches stopped 100 meters away from the creek, and then the Qing army began to dig through the front trenches horizontally so that the trenches formed a ring. The same was true for the rear trenches. The trenches of our own side are connected into one big piece, and we plan to attack Lin Yuan's 65th regiment based on this.

At this time, the staff officer next to Su Wanhai said: "Commander, we can't stand here and watch them build fortifications. They will definitely use these trenches as a starting point to attack us in a while. Although our firepower is very strong, it is difficult for us to stop." The Qing army swooped desperately!"

Su Wanhai nodded and said, "That's right, it's a pity that there is no higher place in the town, so our heavy machine guns have no angle to hit the Qing army in the trenches."

The staff officer said: "It doesn't matter if there is no angle, we can create an angle for the heavy machine gun?"

Su Wanhai asked, "Create an angle? What do you mean?"

The staff officer pointed to the back of the defensive position and said: "If the Qing army can dig trenches, so can we!"

Su Wanhai asked: "The Qing army dug trenches to get close to us, why are we digging trenches?"

The staff officer said with a smile: "We can use the excavated soil to pile up a high slope, and then put the heavy machine gun on the high slope, and then we can shoot at the Qing army from a condescending height."

Su Wanhai said: "This method is good. You should organize people to do it right away, but our soldiers have to concentrate on defense, so don't let the soldiers do it, let the people in the town do it."

The staff officer nodded, turned around and left, and went to find the people in the town. The people saw that Lin Yuan’s army had strict military discipline and did nothing wrong with them. The previous fears were wiped away, and the soldiers of Lin Yuan’s army treated people kindly, and the business was fair. , is completely different from the Qing army's "grand soldiers" who like to put on airs and prestige, so they have a good impression of Lin Yuan's troops, and the slander and propaganda of the Qing court suddenly became a joke.

So the people in the town began to dig the slope, and soon a slope nearly ten meters high was piled up. The heavy machine gun was mounted on it, and began to shoot at the Qing soldiers who were digging trenches, but the machine gunner had just shot one. After a long burst of shooting, I found that this method did not work at all.

Because the height of the slope is only ten meters, and the Qing army is more than 100 meters away, when the bullet is aimed at the Qing army 100 meters away, the angle between the bullet and the ground is less than one tenth of a degree, almost sticking to the ground They were flying, and the trenches of the Qing army were as deep as one person. When the bullets flew over, the soldiers of the Qing army hid directly on the edge of the trenches, and the bullets could not hit the people in the trenches at all.

If you want the bullets to hit the people in the trenches, the pile of soil must be very high, at least higher than 100 meters. It is impossible to pile up such a high slope with soil alone, and the Qing army discovered that heavy machine guns fired , I also understood the intention of the 65th regiment to pile up the high slope, so I organized a sharpshooter movement to go outside the high slope, and shot when people found people piled up the slope.

Su Wanhai then stopped the plan, and the staff officer said, "This method doesn't work, are we really going to be passive defensive here?"

Su Wanhai said: "Passive defense is not a good way!" He lowered his head for a while and pondered for a while, then raised his head, looked at the busy Qing army and said to the staff officer: "Let our troops search for the enemy's trenches carefully, and take a look. Is there a place where there are fewer people and less defense?"

The staff officer said: "Okay, I'll do it now." After a while, the staff officer came back and said: "The number of Qing troops in the easternmost trench is relatively small."

Su Wanhai said: "Okay, let's go to the east to have a look." When he came to the east, he saw that there was no one outside the trenches, and there was green smoke coming out of the trenches. Su Wanhai looked at his watch, only to realize that it was already October [-]th. It was five o'clock in the morning on the [-]th, and there was already a slight light on the sky. Su Wanhai thought to himself: "The Qing army was tired all night, and they must be hiding in the trenches to cook." Su Wanhai thought in his heart, and could not help but whisper: "It seems that this It's an opportunity."

The staff officer beside him asked, "Is this an opportunity? What kind of opportunity?"

Su Wanhai pointed to the scene in front of him and said with a smile: "The Qing army here is lax, we will break through from here and seize their first layer of circular trenches. Their first layer of trenches has already been connected. As long as we break through a little bit, we will The entire trench can be captured from this point!"

The staff immediately applauded, and Su Wanhai said: "The trenches are relatively narrow, and there are many curved places. Let our commandos bring submachine guns. In this narrow environment, our rifles are too long and not easy to use. There are also grenades, which can carry Take as much as you want, people don't have to go over the turning place, just throw a string of grenades over it!"

Su Wanhai quickly organized a commando team, a total of 50 people, each with a submachine gun, a hundred rounds of drums in his hand, three more in his satchel, and sixteen grenades hanging from his waist. The soldiers quietly crossed the river while eating, and reached the edge of the trench in the darkest night before dawn.

This Qing army belonged to Jiang Wei’s battalion. Li Dingguo loved the Three Kingdoms very much, so he named each battalion after the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms. The Qing army in this battalion was tired all night, and most of them stayed by the rice cooker, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the trenches. However, the soldiers guarding the trenches were no match for the commandos, and they were quickly and silently killed.

The commandos rushed into the trenches and immediately attacked to the west. The Qing army put their guns aside for the convenience of digging. When Lin Yuan's troops rushed over, they didn't even have guns. Shovel, under the attack of submachine guns and grenades of Lin Yuan's troops, they were defeated immediately, causing countless casualties.

When Su Wanhai saw that the commando had succeeded in one attack, he quickly ordered the troops behind to attack and occupy the trenches. Soldiers from the 65th Regiment waded across the creek and rushed towards the trenches of the Qing Army. Lin Yuan's troops were able to rush out, so the movements were slow, and Lin Yuan's troops successfully entered the first layer of trenches.
