The Independent Regiment also lacks large-scale excavation equipment. However, in more than a month, the Independent Regiment Ordnance Factory has equipped more than 2,000 people with newly developed military shovels.

Although the materials of the engineering shovels produced later were not distributed to individual engineers who were specially designed for engineering shovels, it was still more than enough to dig frozen soil.

However, after receiving the position, Liu Lang's first military order was not to build fortifications, but to ask everyone to cut down the trees and shrubs on the hillside of the three defensive points of Anwupo facing north.

Not only all the officers and soldiers, but also mobilized the villagers living nearby. Each young and middle-aged man subsidized 0.5 silver coins per day, and two women, elderly and children were considered young and strong.

It doesn't matter if the military order is issued. People in dozens of miles flock to Chao'anwupo, with pots, pans, axes, and large saws of their families, with their families. The number is as high as thousands.

If a family of young people is basically 5 people, they can earn 1.5 silver coins every day. Not to mention in the remote rural areas of this mountainous area, even in Xinjing City, the income is also good. Who said that the people can’t settle the score?

There are many people and great powers. In just one day, the defense line of Anwupo that is more than ten miles long faces the north side of the kingdom has become a bare piece of the mountain. Not to mention Tibetans, even a rabbit hidden on the hillside is clearly visible when standing on the top of the mountain.

In fact, while logging, all the living things that can be seen were filled into the belly by people. When people swept the wood and shrubs and lit the weeds with fire, the hillside facing north was dark and dead.

Liu Lang had two reasons for logging. First, he had no reason to leave any cover for the Black Hawk Army, which would only make him feel uncomfortable; at the same time, more than 2,000 people needed to live.

Even before coming, they had prepared enough, and each of them had cotton coats, cotton pants, big dog leather hats, gloves, rainproof cloth and bedding. Even officers above the sergeant were given a sheepskin mattress. However, when they arrived in the north, most of the new recruits in Qiu Tongzhou who had wrapped themselves tightly were still so cold that they seemed to be slowing down. They had not experienced the severe cold of more than ten degrees below zero and twenty degrees below zero.

Before digging various tunnels, the simplest wooden house is a necessity. Otherwise, there would be no need to wait for the Black Hawk Army to arrive more than 20 days later, and Liu Lang's soldiers would lose one-third of their crew due to the severe cold.

The construction of wooden houses was left to the common people. All soldiers and men had to do their best to excavate the fortifications, leaving them with only half a month.

Of course, before excavating the fortifications, the defensive positions of each unit must be allocated.

Without a regiment headquarters, it was just an open space. Liu Lang spread his hand-painted map on the ground. Chi Dakui, Lin Li, his six infantry company commanders and Zhou Shiyu, the commander of the death company.

"Zhou Shiyu, I will give you a task to prove yourself. Do you dare to take it?" Liu Lang was the first to call Zhou Shiyu's general.

"Please rest assured, since I even call the company of Death Company and I am not afraid of death, what else can I dare not take on the task?" Zhou Shiyu quickly stood up and stood attentively, answering with a wide look.

"Okay, have you seen this mountain? I asked my fellow villagers, called Gushan, and suddenly three miles before my main position of Maoshan. If the Black Hawk Empire Army puts mortars and mountain cannons on this mountain, it will cause a devastating blow to my main position. The mission of your Death Company is to defend this mountain to the death. Before the battle is over, you cannot let a Black Hawk Empire cannon step onto the mountain. Can it be done?" Liu Lang said firmly.

As Liu Lang's fingers slide on the map and pointed to a hill in front of the main position, everyone's faces became severe.

In the past two days, under the leadership of Liu Lang, all the military chiefs have moved the entire Anwupo defensive area, and they know what they are.

It is actually better to call that mountain Gushan. It is different from the continuous and steep mountain on the main position. It is a hill with only one mountain with a height of only three hundred feet, which looks very lonely. It means hanging from the entire mountain range, which means hanging from the entire defense system. In addition to the main position, it can provide certain artillery fire support to the enemy. The possibility of the enemy choosing to attack is small, and the other side is a cliff, and both sides can be besieged by the attacking side, and they can only rely on the defenders themselves.

The most terrifying thing is not being besieged. The most terrifying place is clearly a dead place. If you can't hold it, you will have no place to run.

However, the place had to be defended. As the regiment commander said, if the Black Hawk Empire Army put the mountain cannons on the top of the mountain that was almost flush with the main position, only a distance of more than a thousand feet, for mountain cannons with a range of thousands of feet, don't shoot too accurately. Almost all firepower points can be removed by the direct aiming cannon at a fixed point. Thinking about the consequences, it's chilling.

Almost all company commanders were considering what would happen if they were to guard the vicinity of Jedi themselves? But the answer given was that the death rate was as high as 80%, which was the case when the entire regiment won the final victory. If the entire defensive system was broken, other troops would have a chance to retreat, but there was no way to escape.

But Zhou Shiyu didn't even blink his eyelids, as if he didn't see the so-called Jedi at all. He raised his hand and saluted: "Ensure that the task is completed. If a Black Hawk Empire shell can fly from ancient mountain to the main position, there is only one possibility, that is, all 234 people in the company of I dared to die. I have only one requirement."

Obviously, Zhou Shiyu needs to use the most difficult task to wash away the shame of deserters he once suffered. If there is no victory, then death will be proved.

"speak"

"From entering the position, please give me enough ammunition and clean water and rice for one month. Also, I need grenades, mines and explosive packs, the more the better."

"Okay, very good, enough ammunition that you can support a month of battle, food and water within half a month, and when the supply company arrives, you will be equipped with you. In addition, I will add 1,500 grenades, 100 large trigger mines, 2,000 infantry mines, 50 explosive packages, and a radio station. If the situation is urgent, I promise you to seek support from the regiment artillery company at any time." Liu Lang waved his hand with satisfaction to signal Zhou Shiyu to sit down.

Liu Lang was also looking forward to the combat effectiveness of Zhou Shiyu's death company composed of deserters and bandits in this battle. In terms of training alone, the system that is almost cruel and slightly different from other companies showed considerable power. In the past three months after the army was formed, there were no less than ten new bandit recruits who were hung on the flagpole by Zhou Shiyu to be blown into bacon.

The firepower configuration of the Suicide Company is not bad, because the number of people is larger than that of ordinary infantry companies. The Suicide Company has 4 infantry platoons, and the machine gun platoon also has two more squads than the machine gun platoon of ordinary infantry companies, which also means two more mortars and two MG42 machine guns.

Next, Chi Dakui's first battalion was responsible for the defense of the main position of Anwu Pokou. Chi Dakui was responsible for the allocation of the reserve team. The two defensive points of Qian Zhanzi and Shanzhayu on the left wing were handed over to Liu Dazhu's 4th Company and Sheng Lei's 5th Company. The 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion acted as the reserve team, and was commanded by the regiment chief of staff and battalion commander Lin Li.

At the same time, the unreached baggage company and the five hundred strong men were also organized into the general reserve team by Liu Lang, and he and Lin Li were the leaders respectively.

After the military orders came, all the officers were very upset.

Liu Lang did not shout any slogans this time, nor did he make any pre-war mobilization, but from the perspective of arrangement, this was the rhythm of all the members going into battle.

Not only did the more than 2,000 troops of the Independent Regiment have to go into battle, but even the direct logistics battalion of the division, which was only responsible for helping them transport people and goods, was used by Liu Lang. I don’t know what method Liu Lang used to, so he asked a military order from the division headquarters to send the Independent Regiment to the ground, which had not had time to run, became a subordinate unit of the Independent Regiment within half a month, and became Liu Lang’s transport brigade.
