There is a sea in front of Sun Guang, and he is inspecting his defensive positions: the hundreds of kilometers of coastline on both sides of Qingluan Port are almost flat, and there are suitable places for landing everywhere.
The soldiers and the requisitioned local civilians were all busy. Everyone was digging a trench, but this trench had a shabby air.
Relying on such fortifications to resist the landing of the Tang Army, Sun Guang felt that this was definitely a joke. The defense of the Mirage Kingdom was much stronger than this, but under the attack of the Tang Army, it still collapsed within a day.
.
Now, the Qin army is planning to rely on earthen trenches to prevent the Tang army from landing, which is simply a fantasy. He must strengthen this line of defense into an absolutely permanent fortification! Only in this way can the Tang army stop the possible landing.
But... where does reinforced concrete come from? The steel bar production in Shu has been requisitioned. What Qin State lacks most now is steel. They need steel to make weapons, so there is no need to think about steel bars.
All that is left is concrete - but the concrete itself is not enough. Although the war in Shu is not that fierce, there are still many houses and roads that need to be rebuilt and repaired.
Suspending the construction of these damaged facilities will arouse public resentment. The Shu territory itself is not stable. Now 200,000 soldiers have been conscripted, and another 300,000 laborers have been mobilized to build defense lines... It has almost reached its limit.
This is also the main reason why the coastal defense line of Shu is still like this: there are no raw materials, no weapons and equipment, only light infantry digging holes...
Of course, there is another reason: based on Mirage's anti-landing experience, if a defense line is deployed along the coast, it will soon be destroyed by the Tang Army's aircraft carrier fleet.
The opponent's carrier-based aircraft can provide very precise point destruction support, and the landing troops can fight well. Under normal circumstances, the coastal defense line can only hold for one to two days.
Therefore, deploying more troops on the second line and making better deployments based on the terrain may last longer. This is the defense experience of the Mirage troops.
Although this kind of defensive experience was achieved in the battle against the landing of Orc troops, experience is experience after all. Actual combat shows that deploying troops on the second line is indeed more cost-effective than deploying troops on the beach.
However, cost-effectiveness is not the only criterion for measuring tactical deployment. No matter how cost-effective the design is, it cannot change the fact that coastal defenses are weak.
The shortcomings of deploying defense forces on the second line are actually very obvious: abandoning the beachhead is equivalent to letting the Tang army go ashore. After the Tang army came ashore, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army was really strong. Sun Guang felt that these crooked melons and jujubes in his hands were no match for the Tang army.
In fact, his prediction was very correct: the main force of the Qin army in his hand was only 5 divisions with less than 100,000 troops, and the remaining troops were second-line "line-filling babies."
It looks like a mighty army of hundreds of thousands, but when it comes to fighting, these troops are equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, 98K rifles, some mountain artillery, and towed howitzers... How can they defeat the powerful Tang army?
The scene in front of him was still in full swing, and Sun Guang really didn't want to dampen the mood. The accompanying leader was introducing his position and deployment, and he sounded very confident.
His defense line plans to build 35 hidden bunkers and 90 machine gun positions! The machine guns deployed by the regiment will flow back and forth on these positions to form a tight cross-fire network.
All soldiers have their own bunkers, and trenches extend in all directions. If the enemy doesn't bomb or shell, it's really perfect.
But Sun Guang knew that once the enemy's plane made two turns here, everything would have to be reconsidered. The position would be destroyed and personnel would suffer losses.
But he didn't speak, because the thread-filling ball here was actually just cannon fodder. If these people could withstand the Tang army's offensive or persist for one day, then his goal would have been achieved.
The real defense line is on the second line far away from the coast, relying on some villages and road construction, which is stronger... It is also more suitable for hoarding some supplies, and at least has some living conditions, allowing the commanders of the Qin Army to arrange their own headquarters.
Having learned their lesson, the Qin Army is deploying a complex and huge telephone command system. This thing is the key point. With this system, at least the Qin Army generals will not be unable to find the troops under their command when they are attacked.
The various reserve materials prepared by the Shu Kingdom for its fleet have also been used. For example, the gun barrels prepared for the Shu Kingdom's warships are now being rushed to be made into artillery and placed in important defense areas.
In addition, Qin State also pulled back its submarine forces that were originally preparing to deploy forward and cut off the Nanshan Port route, forming a submarine warning and defense circle.
This circle was not effective when the Tang Dynasty Navy attacked the coastal areas of Shu. All nearby submarines lost contact, and not even a single message was sent back.
So the Qin Navy once again changed their tactics. They formed a fleet of submarines, and then waited in the anchorage area, preparing to send out a counterattack after being attacked along the coast.
In short, without knowing how strong the anti-submarine capabilities of the Tang Empire's fleet were, the commanders of the Qin submarine force were choosing various ways to die.
They are using World War II-level submarines to challenge the anti-submarine network of the Cold War era - just anti-submarine helicopters and sonobuoys are enough to give these poor Qin submarines a headache.
If they could really take a look at the sci-fi-looking Tang cruisers and destroyers, they would understand that the rags in their hands could not break through the defense line composed of Tang warships.
As for the remaining warships... the Qin State didn't take them seriously at all. The combined fleet was completely destroyed by the Tang people, so how useful could the remaining scrap metal be?
Therefore, all warships, including the destroyer Courage, were used as forts offshore. Yes, they each chose a position. After discovering that the Tang fleet had the intention to land, they would rush to their respective positions.
Sit there.
Sun Guang came up with such a tragic strategy. Since the warship would be sunk, just find an unsinkable place and keep firing.
As for how much trouble such tactics would bring to the Tang army, Sun Guang didn't know. Anyway, if Shu was lost, these warships would be useless, so it would be better to waste them.
Under the premise of being at a disadvantage, Qin's deployment in Shu began to become absurd, tragic, and a little unreasonable. This effort was more like a death struggle, more like a kind of chaotic vent. Emperor Qin thought
He wanted an alien version of the Atlantic Wall, but all he could build was a small ditch.
