Chapter 233 cat ear hole

The area at the junction of Jilin and Fengcheng is an endless plain terrain, which is conducive to attack but not to defense. The Fengjun army does not have an advantage. Zhang Tinglan also feels tremendous pressure. According to estimates, it will take at least three to four days for his father Zhang Zuoxiang to

Leading a large force to catch up, during this period of time, it is necessary to rely on a regiment of soldiers in hand to withstand possible attacks by the Kyrgyz army.

And unfortunately, most of Zhang Tinglan's soldiers are new soldiers. They have not been baptized by the fire of war, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the veterans. Fortunately, after Zhang Tinglan's suggestion, when training the new army, a certain number of veterans should be mixed in, and some measures should be taken to

The way veterans lead new recruits ensures the combat effectiveness of the army.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan still has confidence in his men. Let them deal with Gao Shibi's men. Zhang Tinglan is not too worried. But the biggest trouble at present is the Japanese. Zhang Tinglan still doesn't know how much support the Japanese have for Gao Shibi.

How many troops did they dispatch and how many weapons did they provide? Once the two sides fought, would the Japanese use the Japanese soldiers along the South Manchuria Railway...

These were all unknowns, but it was precisely these things that made Zhang Tinglan lose his absolute grasp of the battlefield situation, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He invited Zhang Haipeng to his headquarters to seek Zhang Haipeng's opinion.

Zhang Haipeng stared at the map in front of him. He also felt a little troubled. Ji Jinchun's tragic defeat still left a shadow in his heart. He kept thinking in his mind, and then said: "Whether the Kyrgyz army is attacking or supplying,

I think it is inseparable from the South Manchuria Railway, and being close to the railway will also facilitate the support of the Japanese, so the Kyrgyz army will definitely attack along the railway."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded. He basically agreed with this judgment. Their current location is just north of Siping. In fact, according to the administrative division, the south of Changchun belongs to Fengtian. However, a huge protrusion is formed here, which is very uncomfortable.

In order to facilitate defense, Zhang Tinglan temporarily abandoned Gongzhuling and other places and directly deployed defense in Siping.

"Fighting on the plains, our troops are in a weak position. We must increase our firepower, send a report to Fengtian, and ask the commander to strengthen logistical supplies. We must provide sufficient bullets."

Zhang Haipeng nodded in agreement and hurriedly reported to Fengtian. Zhang Tinglan personally went to the front line to inspect every trench and every fire point, not daring to ignore it.

Fengjun's fortifications are already in shape. The trenches are deep enough to provide good cover, and according to Zhang Tinglan's instructions, more emphasis is placed on defense in depth. The defensive positions are thickened, and the firepower configuration is also directed towards the second.

Taoist position focuses on.

This is also the lesson that Zhang Tinglan learned from Ji Jinchun. Once the Japanese intervene, with the quality of their individual soldiers, there will be absolutely no problem in conquering the first position. If Fengjun does not have follow-up fire support, the entire front will collapse.

Although the Japanese's involvement made Zhang Tinglan worried, the high morale of the soldiers still made Zhang Tinglan very happy. He casually said to a machine gunner next to him: "Are you afraid of death? To be honest, don't worry."

The soldier's face was a little red, and he was obviously embarrassed to speak. Zhang Tinglan suddenly smiled and said: "I think most people are afraid of death. No one can live with his own head, but when we go to the battlefield, we have to understand one thing.

If you want to save your own life, you must eliminate the opponent as much as possible. Only when all the enemies are dead can you be safe."

Soldiers cannot fight bravely because they are afraid of death, but Zhang Tinglan subverts this view. It is precisely because of fear of death that they fight to the death!

"Brothers, because some soldiers are afraid of death, they throw away their weapons and run away, thinking that this can save their lives. But have you ever thought about it, a soldier without a weapon becomes a lamb to be slaughtered?

, meat on the chopping board, life and death are decided by the other party, are you willing to do this?"

"I don't want to! I don't want to!" The soldiers around him all waved their fists and shouted loudly, their voices echoing through the sky. Zhang Tinglan looked at these soldiers and nodded with satisfaction.

"I hope everyone remembers that there is no way to refuse death, but we can choose the way to die vigorously, for our homeland, for our dignity, and to die heavier than Mount Tai. Wounds are inevitable on soldiers, but I hope that the wounds will stay on the chest, not on the chest.

On the back!"

Zhang Tinglan's words caused a burst of laughter, but this was not a joke. Some veterans in the Feng Army had wounds all on their backs. Even during the war, when they saw that the situation was not good, they would run away with their heads in their hands.

The regularization construction carried out by Fengjun is to weed out all these unqualified soldiers and make the team pure and high-spirited.

Zhang Tinglan's inspection was very careful, and he even personally wielded an engineering shovel to dig trenches with the soldiers. He also asked his men to repeatedly measure the distance between the trenches, and also emphasized the layout of anti-gun holes.

The so-called anti-gun holes, also called cat-ear holes, are small anti-gun fortifications built in the middle of the trenches. The height is only about 1.5 meters, the width is 2-3 meters, and the depth varies from a few meters to more than ten meters. It can hide one or two people, or many more.

It can hide three or five people and is very simple to build. It only needs a few pieces of wood for reinforcement.

Of course, the anti-cannon hole cannot truly protect against direct bombardment by artillery shells, but it can block the damage of artillery shells and store ammunition inside, which can greatly improve the survivability of soldiers.

In fact, judging from various preparations, it has been reflected that Zhang Tinglan attaches great importance to this battle, or the pressure in his heart. His opponent is not the rabble of the Kyrgyz army, but the Japanese! Those Japanese who have been tested by the Russo-Japanese War

Elite soldiers, apart from the ambush that robbed the train, this was the first time Feng Jun had a head-on confrontation with the Japanese. Zhang Tinglan couldn't be more cautious.

Just when Zhang Tinglan was tirelessly strengthening the defenses, the Ji army led by Gao Shibi finally came over and the two armies opened a battle line north of Siping. Yu Zhixiongyi and Gao Shibi personally ran to the front to conduct reconnaissance.

"Mr. Consultant, I have already conducted reconnaissance. The opponent does not have many troops, and they are not the elite of the Feng army. We can completely eliminate them as soon as we pass by."

"Stupid!" Yuzhi gave Gao Shibi a two-word evaluation unceremoniously. He said to Gao Shibi like he was lecturing a primary school student: "Didn't you see the opponent's position? They built it very standardized and defended it.

It is strict and leaves no blind spots, which shows that the opponent is definitely not a simple opponent."

When Gao Shibi heard Yu Zhi's comments, he was a little at a loss. Although he was usually arrogant, he was weak by three points when he met the Japanese, especially the Japanese who helped him defeat Ji Jinchun and take back Jilin.

, which made Gao Shiwen bow to the ground and obey his words.

Now when Yuzhi said that the other party's defense was very tight, he became a little scared and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Consultant, what do you think we should do?"

"Fight! Attack me according to your ideas. Attack non-stop. Don't be afraid of sacrifice. The road to victory is always paved with blood. The empire will provide strong support!"

After receiving the order from the Supreme Emperor, Gao Shibi hurriedly ordered the deployment of troops and prepared for the attack. The first to fire the first shot was the artillery unit under Gao Shibi. The deafening sound of mountain artillery continued continuously, and each shell accurately hit Feng Feng.

On top of the army's position.

The huge explosion lifted up the soil, the defenses on the ground were continuously destroyed, and the Feng army also suffered casualties. Zhang Haipeng said to Zhang Tinglan: "I'd like to say, we can't be beaten passively. Let's bring up the artillery and confront Gao Shibin."

Boom, I don’t believe that our artillery can’t defeat the Ji army?”

Zhang Tinglan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Our opponent is no longer the Kyrgyzstan Army. The opponent's artillery fire is extremely ferocious and can produce such a strike effect. The number is at least twenty, and the accuracy of the shooting is simply unbelievable compared to before."

On the same note, is this something Gao Shixiu can do? It is obvious that the Japanese have been assisting the Kyrgyz artillery and even sent artillery. Do we have any chance of winning against the Japanese artillery?"

Zhang Tinglan's rhetorical question immediately made Zhang Haipeng stunned. In fact, the Japanese also learned from the lessons of Liaonan this time. They provided a large number of weapons to the Clan Socialist Party and the Revolutionary Party, but the result was counterproductive. These people did not know how to use new weapons at all.

In vain, Fengjun was given an advantage, allowing Fengjun to exchange a shotgun for a cannon.

The Japanese learned the hard way that they believed that the Chinese troops were nothing but mud and could not hold up the wall and could only be used as cannon fodder. If they wanted the new weapons to be effective, they had to send a large number of Japanese soldiers and let them control them so that they could play their due role.

Therefore, this time the Japanese not only sent advisors to Gao Shibi, but also assigned some artillery units to conduct command and control.

Tamaki Yuichi held a telescope and kept observing the situation of the opponent's position. Looking at the fortifications that were overturned one by one, a trace of pride appeared on his lips unconsciously. Japan's artillery was invincible in the world, and it was just a mere enemy.

their opponents.

"Gao Sang, you can launch an attack now. The soldiers on the opposite side are already vulnerable!"

Yu Zhixiong confidently issued the combat order, and Gao Shibi's subordinates were already gearing up. They saw a large number of Ji troops rushing towards Feng Jun's position. They were shouting and running, and they were gradually getting closer.

Fengjun's position is getting closer and closer.

At this moment, Fengjun's machine gun was ready. He waited until they were within a distance of about four hundred meters before firing suddenly. The spitting tongues of flame intertwined into a barrage of death. The soldiers who rushed over in an instant were like wheat.

He was swept head-on, and broken bodies were strewn all over the ground.

Encountered by this surprise attack, all the soldiers of the Kyrgyz army were in despair. Didn't they destroy all the fortifications of the Feng army? Didn't they die under the shells? How could they launch such a sharp counterattack? Could it be that the other side was invulnerable?

Of course, Fengjun was not made of iron, but the cat-ear holes played an important role in protecting Fengjun's vitality. Zhang Haipeng, who had been observing the battle, secretly gave Zhang Tinglan a thumbs up. This young man really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve! (To be completed.)
