Zhao Zhongyao knew that no one would normally discover this small mountain pass, but now that so many troops were here, if he didn't hurry over, he was afraid that others would also find out! If he let others take the lead, then he would not have a better position. And without a good position, then how can you defeat the enemy!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyao hurriedly took the soldiers of the whole battalion to the place of the small mountain pass, but fortunately, he had not found this place yet.

"Comrades, this is our position, we must hurry up and start building fortifications! Time is pressing! This time, we must complete all the fortifications within three days!"

As soon as he arrived at the small mountain pass, Zhao Zhongyao gave orders to his soldiers.

When the fighters heard this, they naturally began to work.

As soon as Hu Dagang looked at the position in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was not very good to build fortifications here!

Based on general experience, he knew that when troops choose positions to build fortifications, they generally do so at relatively high altitudes, such as a small dirt slope or the halfway point of a large mountain.

Because in this case, if it rains, it will be troublesome, imagine that there are high places around the position, only the position is a low-lying place, then as long as it rains, the rain on all sides will not be poured into the position.

Therefore, when the troops build fortifications, they generally do not choose places like small hills. Because there is obviously a problem!

Hu Dagang is an old company commander, he has also been a company commander for five years, and he has participated in no less than 10 exercises outside, and he has seen a lot of things like building fortifications, but no matter what one time, he has not built a battalion's position into a small hill!

It was after the fortifications were built, and then it happened to rain a little. That's not all over!

This time, he did not have any opinions on the choice of positions, after all, he was only a small company commander, and he was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks in front of the battalion commander!

He felt that although Zhao Zhongyao was not a real soldier, he was also an expert in the military industry, and although he had never commanded such a thing as building fortifications, he had also participated in such a thing as building fortifications! He should know where the fortifications should be built!

Therefore, Hu Dagang didn't want to make any comments at first. Just thinking about all this, Zhao Zhongyao will arrange it very reasonably.

But now as soon as he came to this small col, Zhao Zhongyao asked the troops to stop, and then asked everyone to build fortifications in this small col, which made him a little puzzled, this is obviously the most unsuitable place for building fortifications, how can he build fortifications in this place!

Hu Dagang looked at it for a while, and felt that building fortifications here would only cause trouble for himself! If he had only obeyed the order, and then he and his soldiers had worked together to build the fortifications of the company, then if it happened to be raining, wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain!

"No, I can't. I have to discuss with the battalion commander that it is not too dangerous to build fortifications here! Isn't this place suitable for fortifications at all!"

Hu Dagang thought of this. came to Zhao Zhongyao. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao, gave him a military salute, and then said, "Battalion Commander Zhao." We can't build fortifications here!"

Zhao Zhongyao was thinking about how to complete the construction of the fortifications as soon as possible! He didn't care about Hu Zaigang coming to his side.

When he heard Hu Dagang ask him such a question, he was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Company Commander Hu, why is it not suitable to build fortifications here!"

"Battalion Commander Zhao, don't you see that this is a small mountain col! How can we build fortifications here! If after we have built it, and then suddenly there is a heavy rain, then all our efforts will not be in vain!

Not only will the effort be in vain, but it will also be prone to accidents! How dangerous it would be if these fortifications collapsed after being soaked in water! We would all have to stay in the fortifications!"

When Hu Dagang saw Zhao Zhongling, he said his thoughts.

Zhao Zhongyao listened to Hu Dagang's words, he was stunned at first, and felt that what Hu Dagang said was very reasonable, and he really hadn't thought about it so much before.

At that time, Zhao Zhongyao was just thinking about how he could hide all the equipment of his battalion! He felt that this small mountain col was the best place! But he really didn't think about what to do if it rained!

Now that he has listened to Hu Dagang's words, he doesn't know how to answer for a while!

But he had already given orders to the soldiers, and the soldiers had already begun to work, and if he said that this place was not suitable, and that he had to change another place, what would the soldiers think of him? Would they think that he, the battalion commander, had no leadership ability?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyao suddenly looked at Hu Dagang and said with a smile: "Company Commander Hu, this matter! I have also thought about it before." I have listened to the weather forecast for a long time, and in the past half month, the weather on Mushroom Island has been sunny, and it is unlikely to rain. ”

As soon as Hu Dagang heard Zhao Zhongyao say this, he said unconvinced: "Battalion Commander Zhao, this weather forecast is not a reliable thing! If you say that you listen to the weather forecast in a day or two, it will be okay." You also know that if the weather forecast is a short-term forecast, that is, the weather conditions in the last one or two days, it is easy to predict accurately, but if the weather conditions within half a month, even if the forecast is inaccurate!

This is not a trivial matter, but if it rains after the construction of the fortifications is completed, the consequences may be serious!

Also, as you know, this is a small island! The climate on this island is even more unspectacular! It's sun, but maybe it will be cloudy and rainy in a while!

It's a typical oceanic climate! If we use weather forecasts to fight, it's a bit unreliable!"

Hu Dagang listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he further refuted it.

After Zhao Zhongyao heard this, he raised his head again and glanced at the situation of the entire position, and then he smiled and said to Hu Dagang: "What you said is very important. But I feel that our position is the best terrain in this area.

The position must be well concealed so that the enemy will not discover it! This exercise is not trivial! Although it is said that we are here for the exercise! I estimate that there is a great possibility of it developing into a war!

If you think about it only from the point of view of exercises. This position is indeed unsuitable, because this place is the lowest place in the surrounding area, and if it rains, this small col will definitely be flooded by the rain that flows down from all around.

But I'm thinking about it from a practical point of view. If we really get involved with those small island countries, this small mountain col is the best hiding place! As long as our rocket battalion hides in this place, then the enemy will definitely be caught off guard at that time! They certainly would not have thought that in this small mountain pass, there will be a hidden position of a rocket battalion!

When the time comes, we rocket battalions. You can take advantage of the favorable terrain of this small col and annihilate the invading enemy in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Zhongyao considered the problem entirely from the angle of actual combat! Because, in his speculation, there was an 80 percent chance that this exercise would turn into actual combat! He had to consider the issue of selecting the position this time from the angle of actual combat!

"Battalion Commander Zhao, if you only think about it from the perspective of concealment, then this small mountain col is undoubtedly a good place, but we are going to build a fortification, not let some soldiers lurk here temporarily. Fight an ambush!

I think Battalion Commander Zhao, you have completely confused war with fortifications! How to conduct a war is one thing, but how to build fortifications is another matter!

You built this position in this little col. If it is really as you say, a few days later, there will be a rainy day, and all at once the fortifications we have worked so hard to build will be destroyed.

If only this time. If we unfortunately encounter another enemy attacking our position, then we will be completely finished! We don't even have a single position!

When the time comes, there will be no positions. Then how can we carry out the battle! We are artillery! If artillery wants to fight, it must first have a position! Without a position, artillery is 'a useless place for heroes'!"

Hu Dagang listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, but he was still not convinced, so he defended again.

"Well! Company Commander Hu deserves to be an old company commander! What you said is very reasonable. But I took all these things you think into account before.

You see, although this small col is a low-lying area, there is a small dirt slope on both sides of this small col, and even if it rains at that time, the rain will not flow from both sides to the position for a while.

Of course, the left and right ends of this small col are relatively low, and if it really rains, it is possible that the rain will flow from the left and right ends to our position!

But this problem, I think, can be done in this way, after we have completed the fortifications of the whole battalion, and then the soil dug out of the position will be piled up at the left and right ends of this small col, and two earthen walls will be piled up respectively, so that the rain will not be able to block the rain from entering our position.

In this way, our position will be very hidden and very safe! Even if it really rains in the next 10 days, we won't have to worry about anything!"

Zhao Zhongyao In a very short period of time, he had already thought of some ways to change some of the disadvantages of this position.

As soon as he said this, Hu Dagang had nothing to object. Because, what Zhao Zhongyao said is very reasonable!

Isn't the position thus constructed concealed and safe! Who can say that this position is not a good position!

"Ah! Yes! Battalion Commander Zhao said this, my old Hu is mouth is suddenly opened! With your arrangement, our position is really the best of both worlds! It is very hidden, and it will not be affected by the rain!"

Hu Dagang listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he naturally didn't want to oppose it anymore, so he had to promise Zhao Zhongyao to build a position and fortifications in this place.

"Okay, Company Commander Hu, you and the soldiers will build fortifications together! I'll take a look at it again, our position still needs to be reinforced. ”

After listening to Hu Dagang's words, although Zhao Zhongyao solved the problem he raised, this position is a very large area! It is necessary to check all of them and see if there are still precautions!

"Yes! I'm going to work. Hu Dagang gave Zhao Zhongyao a military salute, and then walked towards his company.

Zhao Zhongyao walked around the entire small col again, and felt that there was no big problem, that is, the two ends of the small col needed to build two 'waterproof dams'. As long as these two 'waterproof dams' are repaired, then this position basically has no shortcomings, and when the time comes, if there is a real war, then this position will definitely not be destroyed by the enemy!

In this way, three days later, with the joint efforts of Zhao Zhongyao, Hu Dagang and other commanders and fighters of the battalion, the construction of the position fortifications of the entire rocket battalion was completed.

Zhao Zhongyao finally checked the positions of the whole battalion and felt that everything was perfect. Even everything was beyond his expectations!

Originally, he thought, this is a small col, although this place is easy to build fortifications, but the soil in the col will be relatively loose, after the fortifications are built, will these fortifications not be very strong!

But everything was the opposite of what he thought! In this small col, there were some very sticky loess! The fortifications that were built were neat and beautiful, and they were strong and durable!

Looking at the sturdy and durable position in front of him, Zhao Zhongyao thought of what Hu Dagang said to him before, and he came to Hu Dagang with some dissatisfaction!

"How about it! Company Commander Hu, our position is okay! Such a position, do you say that you are afraid of rainy days!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Hu Dagang very proudly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Battalion Commander Zhao made a reasonable arrangement! I really didn't expect that among this small mountain pass, there is actually the most suitable loess for building fortifications! Not to mention the waterproof project that has already been repaired. Even if there is no waterproofing project and some light rain, it is impossible to collapse this position!"

After Hu Dagang completed the fortifications of his company, he also felt that the soil quality here was not what he imagined at all, and it was really good. It's just like some of the loess slopes in a province in the western part of their country that are suitable for building caves!

The fortifications built in such soil are of course very strong. As long as the shells don't fall directly on this, this position can be said to be impregnable!

"Haha! Yes! Our position will definitely make the enemy suffer this time! When the time comes, let them taste the power of our rocket battalion!" (To be continued.) )
