"Regimental deputy, there are no other problems. It's just that building three machine gun bunkers here is of no use? Could it be used to attack our own people?" Lei Xiong pointed to a firepower configuration in the hall on the drawing and was slightly confused.
.
He probably asked what the other officers wanted to ask but had not yet had time to ask. The three infantry company commanders all focused their attention on Tang Dao.
There is no problem in laying a sandbag fortification and a trench along the gate wall. That is to push the front line forward and avoid shrinking the front line into the warehouse from the beginning to be passively beaten. Gradually shrinking the defense line is the best way.
However, such a triangular light machine gun fire point suddenly appeared in the hall on the first floor, but it was directed inward, forming a cross fire network that almost covered the entire hall on the first floor without any blind spots.
What the hell is this? If you plan to allow Japanese troops to invade and resist inside the building, that’s too early! You can’t wait four or five days before considering this issue?
If we put three light machine guns here now, wouldn't it be a waste of three effective firepower points for no reason?
If it were someone else's design, Lei Xiong would probably just start spraying, but because it was Tang Dao, he asked questions cautiously for the first time.
A faint smile appeared on the fair and square face of the Army Lieutenant Colonel, and he said: "Platoon Commander Tang, please explain to Company Commander Lei why you set up such a fire network inside the building."
"Hehe, the Japanese are here with a lot of ferocity. If the head-butt is too painful, they will have to retreat! We have to kill a few more of them before they figure out what's going on, right? There is only one chance like this."
Tang Dao explained with a chuckle.
"The Japanese want more than 400 of our brothers to die. The Japanese are just like immortals, so let's let them bury them with them."
Tang Dao's smile was gentle, but the chill in his eyes caused several captains and officers to break out in cold sweat involuntarily.
What a vicious design!
They are all experts on the battlefield. Tang Dao doesn't need to explain it too clearly, but they also understand.
This turned out to be a trap, and it was a large trap specially designed to deceive people.
If you think about it, you can understand that the Japanese army, eager for revenge, launched an attack from the front. After a hard battle, they finally broke through the frontal position and penetrated into the enemy's fortress. Naturally, they must have been ecstatic.
As long as the Japanese commander is not stupid, he will invest at least half an infantry squadron to attack, in order to occupy a certain terrain to cover the continuous entry of follow-up troops, thereby annihilating the enemy inside the Sixing Warehouse in one fell swoop.
But how could the Japanese commander know that this was just a trap that had been laid out long ago? The defenders had already established a crossfire network internally.
If he guessed correctly, the ten submachine guns that Tang Dao had reserved for the battalion security squad would definitely gather nearby at that moment.
Facing the crossfire of three light machine guns and ten submachine guns, almost no one could escape.
But this is not the most terrifying part of this trap.
Because this is just a bait.
They dare to believe that even if the Japanese commander knows that this is a trap, as long as some of their soldiers are still alive, the Japanese army will definitely rush forward like moths to the flames.
Because, if it were them, they would do the same thing, even if they knew it would be death.
No one dares to give up on the battlefield, because everyone does not want to become an abandoned son abandoned by the commander.
They were even sure that Tang Dao would say to the fire team in the hall at that time: "Kill slowly, don't do it too fast, let them die slowly."
Dead Japanese soldiers cannot be used as bait, but those who are alive and can still scream can certainly be used.
This is no longer the so-called tactical arrangement, but the grasp of human nature.
Where did this little platoon leader come from?
Could it be that the gods and Buddhas all over the sky knew that I and others were going to fight a bloody battle here, so they sent a helper down to earth to help the brothers? It seems that I will give three sticks of incense to Tathagata Buddha later to protect myself in this battle.
Gun, kill more enemies.
Don't tell me, the reasons for making random guesses are sometimes closer to the truth.
Didn't Tang Dao just fall from the sky? Moreover, he was not particularly materialistic. Even he himself felt that he must have the halo of the protagonist, but so far he has not found the legendary golden finger.
However, the current physical fitness of this body is not bad, and it can at least exert more than 70% of his former strength. If he were to travel through time to a fat man or bean sprouts who were not working hard, Tang Dao would not be as relaxed as he is now.
At least getting a certificate of investment may not be as shocking as it is now.
"Platoon Leader Tang, I've finally convinced you. It's hurtful enough and extremely insulting!" Lei Xiong grinned with cold sweat and gave Tang Dao a thumbs up.
This kind of professional-level dirty trick is cruel enough. The key is that he likes it very much.
Because of Tang Dao's amazing warehouse firepower configuration map, it turned out that Yang Ruifu proposed that in addition to the main fortress of Sihang Warehouse, there were two other locations on Suzhou Hebei Road located two hundred meters apart on the west and north sides.
There are two tall buildings. If we allocate our troops to defend these two buildings, then the strategy of forming a horn with the Sihang Warehouse will be completely rejected.
This kind of firepower configuration plan that divides the defense into three fortresses may seem attractive, but it actually has extremely fatal shortcomings.
First of all, the other two buildings are not as strong as the four-row warehouse. Even if they do not use large-caliber naval guns, they may be blown apart by just bombarding them with 75-caliber field guns;
Secondly, the 1st Battalion of the 542nd Regiment has a total of more than 400 men, which is more than enough to defend the four-row warehouse. However, if the troops are divided, at most two infantry platoons can be arranged for each building.
It is obviously impossible to withstand the fierce attack of the Japs with this small amount of troops. That is equivalent to asking the brothers to die. Although the final outcome is death, you can't die in vain, right?
The Army Lieutenant Colonel did not hesitate any longer and acted on Tang Dao's plan.
After the military meeting representing the highest level of Sihang Warehouse was completed, more than 400 people began to take action under the leadership of their respective commanders.
The second and third companies responsible for defending the left and right wings began to dig holes in the walls to build shooting holes. According to Tang Dao's suggestion, many shooting holes were dug out and then built back with bricks. It was a disguise.
Think about it, when the Japanese infantry were dodging the ballistics fired from the shooting holes visible in the field of view and approaching the building little by little, suddenly the masonry was pushed away, and dozens of extra shooting holes suddenly appeared in an instant, spewing firepower like crazy.
It will make them despair!
The first company responsible for defending the front of the building renovated the sandbag fortifications that had been piled outside the gate on the first floor, and desperately dug traffic trenches to retreat into the building.
Tang Dao accompanied Shangguan Yun and led two rows and three rows into one of the two buildings Yang Ruifu had selected previously.
Even though it was more than 200 meters away, the building was about the same height as the Sihang Warehouse. If the Japanese army occupied it, they would be eligible to shoot at the third and fourth floors, and even threaten the roof.
Naturally, such a building cannot be left to the Japanese. Even if the Japanese do not enter, when the two armies are fighting, such a "big firework" suddenly appears on the battlefield, with bricks and broken wood flying all over the sky, it can still shock the Japanese army out of their bodies.
Smash your head and bleed!
A battalion came here carrying nearly a thousand kilograms of explosives.
Two infantry platoons of more than sixty people carried nearly half of them over.
As for the other building, in Tang Dao's terms, as long as one is blown up, the Japanese will not enter again unless their heads are missing. Then there is no threat, and they even have to be wary of whether the building will explode.
.
Like...
The other boot upstairs didn't hit the ground.
Sir, this is so sinister! Liu Datou quietly wiped his sweat. Fortunately, I gave in early!
The remaining half of the explosives were not buried outside, but were buried under the main supporting pillars and load-bearing walls of the Sihang Warehouse.
From the beginning, the main purpose of the first battalion carrying explosives was not to hurt others but to hurt themselves, which is quite similar to the ancient generals carrying coffins on expeditions.
If it comes to the last moment, the Sihang Warehouse building will cease to exist without the use of naval guns and aerial bombs by the Japanese army, along with all the Chinese soldiers inside.
For Japanese people, naturally it depends on how many people there are.
The lieutenant colonel of the army said that he would treat Sihang Warehouse as his own tomb, but he was not just talking about the so-called heroic words.
At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to light lights in the Sihang Warehouse building, and any light is strictly prohibited except for candlelight in necessary places. From a distance, the Sihang Warehouse is completely dark, and nothing unusual can be seen.
The first platoon of the company was desperately repairing the fortifications, and the second platoon was burying explosives. Liu Datou led a squad to serve as a hidden sentry forty or fifty meters away from the warehouse to take charge of the warning.
Tang Dao himself was carrying a medium-sized formal rifle, along with Lao Hei's second squad and veteran Youzi's third squad, a total of 24 people. Each of them carried a submachine gun and four 32-round magazines and lurked out of the Sihang Warehouse.
