Chapter 231
The headquarters of the 24th Regiment of Little Bengbu.

Hearing the news that the artillery position was attacked by the defenders on the other side, the regimental captain gritted his teeth angrily.

Staring coldly at the artillery squadron leader, the regiment leader shouted: "Shangchuan-jun, what are you doing? You lost a quarter of your artillery before you officially launched an attack. It's ridiculous!"

With his head drooping, the artillery squadron leader shouted again and again: "Hay! Hay!"

The regiment captain asked in a deep voice: "Do you know why the Chinese army on the opposite side is so accurate, but we have no way to deal with their gunners?"

The Artillery Squadron Leader shouted: "Report to Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese Army on the opposite side has adopted guerrilla tactics. In other words, it's just firing a cannon to change places, so we can't do effective killing at all?"

Wei Wei hesitated, and the chief of staff at the side shouted: "Oh, why is this style of play so familiar?"

The regimental captain shouted: "Do you still remember the Chief of Staff? During the Shanghai World War, the Chinese Army often bombarded us precisely in this way. We have suffered so much!"

Nodding his head, the chief of staff shouted: "That's right, a prince from the imperial royal family who was inspecting the front line was killed by this kind of artillery fire!"

The regiment captain shouted: "Souga, it seems that the commander of the Chinese army on the other side is not simple, and it is bound to pose a big threat to us in the next battle. We must act cautiously!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Then shall we continue to cross the river this afternoon?"

Shaking his head slightly, the regiment captain shouted: "No, don't launch an attack for now. According to the order of the division headquarters, we will cross the river after the friendly forces on the left and right flanks launch a tentative attack!"

The chief of staff nodded heavily: "Hayi!"

After a pause, the regiment captain shouted again: "Why hasn't the heavy artillery assigned to us by the division headquarters arrived yet?"

The Chief of Staff shouted: "Report to Your Excellency, Captain. According to the telegram from the Division Headquarters, Bafang Town was attacked by the rest of the Guangxi Army yesterday, and suffered heavy losses. Half of the heavy artillery was damaged. We are rushing to repair it!"

Sighing slightly, the regiment captain shouted: "It seems that the Gui army's will to fight cannot be underestimated, and our transportation lines are not very safe, so we can only rely on the Imperial Air Force at Nanjing Airport!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, Captain, please rest assured that our heavy artillery will be able to reach Little Bengbu at least tomorrow, but with the cover of the aviation attack, the pressure on us to cross the river can still be greatly reduced!"

After pondering for a while, the captain of the regiment shouted: "However, if we know ourselves and the enemy, we will win every battle. We cannot completely rely on the imperial air force. After all, ground combat is the most important thing in battle!"

The chief of staff shouted: "The captain means..."

The regiment leader groaned and shouted: "I think so, send a reconnaissance team to infiltrate the Northeast Army on the opposite side, and figure out their firepower configuration!"

His eyes lit up suddenly, and the chief of staff shouted in a low voice: "Souga, the joint captain's strategy of fishing in troubled waters is good, there is no need to delay, I will prepare right now!"

The regiment leader shouted: "Wait! To be successful in reconnaissance operations, you must pay more attention to clothing and weapons and equipment! This kind of disguise can be misleading, and the reconnaissance has a higher chance of success!"

With a heavy nod, the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the information from the Division Headquarters, the Chinese Army on the opposite side belongs to the 51th Regiment of the 720st Army of the Northeast Army. It will not be a problem for me to find a few sets of military uniforms in the baggage team!"

The captain of the regiment shouted: "Souga! You will be fully responsible for this matter! I must be fully prepared for the reconnaissance!"

The chief of staff bowed and said, "Hayi!"

……

Bengbu river beach position.

The soldiers of the 720th regiment are tensely arranging defensive positions.

According to Liang Shanhao's carefully designed position drawings, the 720 regiment divided the entire position into three lines of defense.

The first line of defense is the river beach area. Liang Shanhao ordered the soldiers to deploy a large number of mines in this area, and in the shallow area, Liang Shanhao also arranged a large number of barbed wire in the water.

These barbed caltrops were left by the Huai army in the late Qing Dynasty when they fought in this area. Liang Shanhao gave full play to the residual heat of this cold weapon and used it to deal with devils.

And after the river beach defense line is the second line of defense of the 720 regiment!
In order to deal with the devil's tanks, Liang Shanhao ordered the soldiers of the 720 regiment to dig an anti-tank trench.

Behind the anti-tank trench is a winding infantry trench.

In order to improve the ability of the infantry trench to carry artillery fire, Liang Shanhao dug the parapet into wavy lines, and dug an anti-gun hole on one side of the parapet.

A Maxim heavy machine gun was placed on the left, middle and right of the infantry trench to control their respective fire suppression areas.

At that time, once the devil's infantry went ashore and broke through the river beach position, Liang Shanhao's three Maxim heavy machine guns could fire on the unobstructed river beach area.

Thinking of the scene of the ghost soldiers being swept down in rows like rice, Liang Shanhao couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

There is also a support trench behind the infantry trench. The support trench is used to arrange the reserve team and strengthen the defense depth. Once the infantry trench is in an emergency, the reserve team can maneuver along the zigzag traffic on the battlefield.

Liang Shanhao patrolled the position with several guard platoon soldiers.

Running towards Liang Shanhao, Han Chongcheng gave a military salute to Liang Shanhao: "Report to the regiment, the first battalion is building river beach fortifications, please give instructions!"

After glaring at Han Chongcheng, Liang Shanhao scolded: "Do you think I'm dead? Take your hand off!"

Devils like to snipe and kill Chinese commanders, so in the frontline positions, subordinates are absolutely not allowed to salute their superiors, because this salute undoubtedly pointed out the position of the commander to the devils.

With a flattering smile on his face, Han Chongcheng shouted: "Tuan Zuo, what are you afraid of? The other side is far away from our position, how could the devil's rifle hit you!"

With a cold snort, Liang Shanhao shouted: "There are no rules, no rules. No matter what time you see the officer on the front line, you are not allowed to salute. This is a military rule, and you must remember it at all times!"

With a slap, Han Chongcheng stood at attention, "Yes! Don't be an example!"

After checking the fortifications on one side of the river, Liang Shanhao shouted: "First Battalion Commander, the fortifications on the river have to be changed!"

With a look of incomprehension, Han Chongcheng shouted: "Tuan Zuo, I repaired the river beach works according to your drawings, and I don't think there is any problem!"

After pondering for a while, Liang Shanhao exclaimed: "There is indeed no problem!"

Han Chongcheng shouted: "The meaning of the group is..."

Drawing a capital well on a design drawing, Liang Shanhao shouted: "I divide this river beach into nine areas, and you tell the artillery to test the shooting parameters of these nine areas!"

Staring at the tic-tac-toe, Han Chongcheng shouted: "Tuan Zuo, it's the first time I've seen your tactic of shooting Zhu Yuan in advance. In this way, we can increase the speed of shelling!"

This kind of bombardment tactic was learned by Liang Shanhao from a later anti-war novel before crossing, but he did not expect to use it in the defense of Bengbu today.

It seems that reading more books is of great benefit!

Smiling slightly, Liang Shanhao shouted: "The commander of the first battalion is good at understanding. You can understand it at a glance. Tell the artillery to mark the shelling area in advance. In addition, the shooting area of ​​​​the heavy machine gun should also be marked neatly!"

Han Chongcheng responded, "Yes!"
