Chapter 992
The troops were stationed on the reverse slope and could avoid Japanese artillery fire!
Use the corridor to project troops to the other side. The corridor can ensure the safety of the troops being projected.
Even if the Japanese army concentrated artillery fire on the frontal positions, there would only be observation posts on the frontal positions to ensure the safety of the troops.
"What is the antislope surface?" Ding Yucheng looked at Yao Pengju and Zhao Zhiguo in confusion.
This was the first time he heard the concept of backslope.
He had never fought with Zhao Zhiguo in the past, so he didn't know much about the reverse slope.
"Come here!" Yao Pengju looked at his apprentice who had just arrived, and patiently drew a simple diagram on the ground. "Did you see that the Japanese army is attacking from this side, and there is a reverse slope on the other side. The little devil's cannon cannot pass through.
Fight from here to here, do you understand?"
"Thunder cannons can be deployed on the front, and two mortars can be deployed on each side of the reverse slope to provide fire support!"
When the Japanese infantry attacked, heavy machine gun fire cover was indispensable from the front.
Four mortars were enough to knock out the Japanese heavy machine gun firepower.
The torpedo cannon must be deployed in the front, and although the torpedo cannon is a big thing, it is just a gasoline barrel and is very light and short, making it very convenient for hiding in trenches.
The most important thing is that Zhao Zhiguo is not afraid of losses to this thing.
It is cheap and easy to manufacture without much cost.
In Wangxian County, the Japs left many gasoline barrels.
When these gasoline barrels are turned into thunder cannons, Zhao Zhiguo will have a group of "heavy artillery" at his disposal!
When fighting a positional battle, this thing is placed on the position, and a volley of fire will knock the little Japanese into confusion without the soldiers having to fire.
"Commander, in this kind of terrain, it is difficult to deploy the heavy machine guns of the defensive troops."
The heavy machine gun relies on the machine gun stand, and with the gun replacement, it takes several people to move the heavy machine gun away.
Being close to the highway also facilitated the cooperation of Japanese tanks in combat, and the heavy machine gun position was a fixed target on the position.
"Replace the heavy machine guns with light machine guns for them!" Zhao Zhiguo ordered.
The purpose of the troops stationed here is not to defend. If they want to defend their position and keep the Japanese troops out of the defense line, Zhao Zhiguo will definitely give them two more heavy machine guns.
Zhao Zhiguo had no intention of letting these troops defend their positions, and the light machine guns also facilitated the movement of troops.
"It takes two hours to march at full speed from here to the abandoned Japanese stronghold. As long as a timely warning can be issued here, it will be enough for Wangxian troops to move," Yao Pengju said.
"This is the speed of infantry marching. The little devil's truck can get there in less than half an hour! So we need to prepare two fast horses for the defenders here."
Zhao Zhiguo and the others do not have enough radio stations and telephones.
Fortunately, it was close to a highway and the horses were not slow, so they were able to convey the news to Wang County in time.
After selecting the defense location, Zhao Zhiguo ordered two companies of Zhao Ziming and Qin Dongsheng to garrison the position and build fortifications.
After arriving in Wang County, Zhao Zhiguo will naturally not be idle.
Their next target is Pingcheng, not a small place like Wangxian.
Pingcheng has a great influence on the surrounding areas. Even if Murano Masao's troops encounter trouble in Pingcheng, they will not retreat easily.
As long as there is a crisis in Pingcheng, the Japanese army will inevitably send additional troops.
Even though there is only one brigade now, as long as the little devils think about it, the Japanese army in the Pingcheng area will increase to one division or even two divisions at any time.
No matter how many troops the Japanese army has in Pingcheng, judging from the situation of Zhao Zhiguo's troops, Zhao Zhiguo and the others will definitely not be able to attack Pingcheng without a very good chance.
Pingcheng City has high walls and thick walls, a large number of Japanese troops, various weapons for defense, and poison gas bombs that have never been seen.
Being unable to move Pingcheng does not mean that Zhao Zhiguo and the others cannot move other areas of Pingcheng.
There is no food produced in Pingcheng, so the little devils rely on war to support war. They will definitely need to grab food from the countryside and transport it to the city to prepare for emergencies.
As long as the little devils don't hide in that turtle shell, Zhao Zhiguo will have a way to deal with them.
Of course, before taking action, Zhao Zhiguo and the others had to figure out the deployment of Japanese and puppet troops in the Pingcheng area.
"Old Ding, reconnaissance is the business of your reconnaissance camp. You don't have to worry about the Japanese troops in Pingcheng, but you must let me know how the Japanese and puppet troops are deployed outside Pingcheng."
With the reconnaissance company, Zhao Zhiguo no longer needs to do many things himself.
"Captain, how about I follow the reconnaissance company."
Yao Pengju was worried about his apprentice. Although he did not kowtow to become his disciple, Ding Yucheng was also his apprentice in name.
Reconnaissance behind enemy lines is extremely difficult, and you may encounter danger at any time.
Yao Pengju and others have rich experience in operating behind enemy lines and can help the reconnaissance company a lot.
"Can you die in his place?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Yao Pengju coldly.
As soon as Yao Pengju heard this, he knew that Zhao Zhiguo was going to get angry, and he quickly shrank his neck.
The reconnaissance company must play the role of a reconnaissance company and cannot always operate within their own defense zone.
He is always conducting reconnaissance activities within his own defense area. He is a scout for the little devils.
What Zhao Zhiguo wants is for every unit under his command to be able to fight when drawn out, instead of being a good baby in his own defense zone.
"Ding Yucheng, please listen to me. I have no shortage of people under my command. If you can't complete the task, I will replace you with someone else."
When it comes to executing tasks, Zhao Zhiguo will never allow his troops to make any compromises. A task is a task. Even if a corresponding price is paid, the task must be completed to the letter.
"Yao Pengju, the special forces also need to expand their strength. In the future, the special forces will often be active in the Pingcheng area, and there will also be casualties."
The special operations team is a specially enhanced version of the reconnaissance company. They have all the functions of the reconnaissance company, but also have functions that the reconnaissance company does not have.
In the future, capturing Pingcheng will definitely be a fierce battle, which will require coordination between the various units under Zhao Zhiguo.
There may even be fierce street fighting. The only troops under Zhao Zhiguo who are good at street fighting are Yao Pengju and his special forces.
Street fighting and beach landings are battles that cause the attacking troops to suffer a lot.
In street fighting, I'm afraid the special forces' casualties will not be small.
To attack Pingcheng, they must make all preparations for battle.
"There are 150 people in the special force now?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.
"Including officers, there are a total of 158 people!" Yao Pengju replied.
"I will give you another fifty people, and in the shortest possible time, train these fifty people to be like veterans."
Attacking Pingcheng is definitely not something that will happen in the short term. We have enough troops to start training.
In addition to the expansion of the special forces, each battalion and company also needs to expand its troops.
Zhao Zhiguo's troops have never developed according to formal organization.
