963 Weak Links? Pitfall?
Hou Xianglin pondered for a moment and then responded with a serious face:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is originally a defense plan that I participated in formulating, so I fully support the deployment of troops of the city defense headquarters, there is no doubt that this is a mobile defense arrangement, according to the experience of Wei Hong and I in the last battle with the indigenous tribes, the enemy usually chooses one or two key offensive areas."
Speaking of this, Hou Xianglin glanced at the map again, turned back to Lao Ba and Lao Wang and added:
"Of course, there is also a suspense in this---- if the enemy does not break through the wooden wall, the attack stops outside the wooden wall, and there is a fierce battle with us, then our side will have the upper hand with the advantage of firepower and fortifications, for example, so that everything is good, after all, with our existing firepower, we can rely on the fortifications to consume a large number of enemies, and finally achieve the goal of destroying the enemy.
However, we must not leave anything to chance, and the defense plan on the wooden wall of the western city should seriously consider the problem of crisis support and filling the gap after the enemy breaks through the wooden wall, so I think the most important topic for discussion should be how we should fight once the enemy breaks through the wooden wall. ”
"So I also feel that this plan of your troop deployment is not a plan to keep the enemy out of the country......"
Hearing this, Lao Ba looked at Hou Xianglin, stared at the map in front of him and muttered to himself, the voice was not loud, it was because Lao Ba was a little unsure whether his feeling was right.
At this time, Su Gaofei, the new chief of staff of the garrison, stood up, pointed to a place on the map, and turned back to explain to everyone:
"Ba Lao, your old man's feeling is very right, the plan of the city defense headquarters really does not intend to keep the enemy out of the country, it's not that we don't want to, but we can't do it.
After all, our strength is limited, and we are not allowed to use soldiers on the wooden wall to fight hard with the indigenous tribesmen, so the so-called mobile defense is actually to act at the opportune opportunity, not to fight with the enemy's life, which is not only manifested in the reserve setup, we explained very clearly to the company commanders and platoon commanders, even the defense on the wooden wall is mobile.
But now, before the enemy has exposed the direction of the main attack, we can only fortify everywhere, of course, this does not mean that we can only wait passively, the city defense command after serious discussion, came to some conclusions - seriously imagined, if we are the other side, with so many troops, how will we attack, there is only one conclusion: the attacking side will definitely make full use of the advantage of numbers, concentrate forces in an attempt to break through a weak link in the wooden wall, for example, here is likely to be a breakthrough point......"
So everyone followed Su Gaofei's point, and many people immediately nodded in agreement.
"You mean the wooden wall on the west bank of the Xin'an River?"
"That's right, that's it!"
"It's really a bit hanging here, across the Xin'an River, and Dongcheng wants to support it and has difficulties there......"
"Please explain why."
Lao Ba asked calmly, and Su Gaofei immediately replied:
"First of all, the terrain here is flat and open, which is conducive to the deployment of troops, and secondly, here is the junction of the east and west urban areas, under the river barrier, the east bank can not support the west bank in time, and here is far away from the south city gate, under normal circumstances, all the defenders of the city, are arranged near the city gate hole, throughout the entire southern wooden wall, the wooden wall between the corner tower and the south gate tower has both sides of the support at the same time, so it is not easy to be breached, and from the south gate tower to the west bank of the Xin'an River, there is only one city gate tower, and the south gate of the east city is blocked by the river again.
Presumably, our enemy is also battle-hardened, and must know this, so we judge that the enemy may surprise the wooden wall of this area. ”
"Since you have estimated this, then there must be a plan, right?"
At this time, Lao Ba looked at Wei Hong and Su Gaofei with a serious face and said.
"There is indeed a plan, once the wooden wall here is broken, the only support point nearby is the building of the ammunition factory less than three hundred meters away, fortunately, the building there is strong enough, Brother Hou has recently strengthened and raised the wall, and the entire factory area is closed enough, which is very conducive to defense, so it will be selected as the garrison of the reserve."
Seeing the audience nodding frequently, Su Gaofei further explained to everyone:
"That's why we've put three of our five companies in reserve here."
"If this is the case, we will definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise, because the enemy definitely did not expect that there is still the Yi Wuxuan on the Xin'an River, and the two twin 20mm machine guns on our ship are not vegetarian!."
Hearing this, Peng Qiang spoke from the last row, so Hu Xiaolin also followed and said:
"Yes, at that time, the garrison stationed in the ammunition factory will not need to fight at all, only need to hold on to the wall of the ammunition factory to attract the enemy to gather, if you are besieged there, the surrounding enemy is simply an excellent live target for machine guns, and machine guns like to attack enemies in dense formations the most!"
"And we can also support the ammunition factory with machine guns from the city gate."
Xiao Pingguo interjected, but Wei Hong shook his head and said, Brother Xiao, you just need to take care of your face, at that time, it is more important for us to hold the support point of the city gate than anything else, and there are other ways on the side of the ammunition factory. ”
Fang Linyou also added at this time:
"Yes, Brother Xiao, we are actually waiting for the enemy to come, the walls of the ammunition factory are high, and the building structure is conducive to defense, so it would be nice to have the support of the Yi Wuxuan......"
Before Xiao Pingguo could respond, he heard a voice faintly coming from the back row:
"Xiao Xiao, in fact, people are afraid that your hands are shaking, and you can't hit accurately, oh yes, so is Yi Wuxuan, I hope you can be accurate, just don't hurt your own people by mistake."
Everyone looked for the voice, and it turned out to be the voice of Kangda sitting in the corner.
However, everyone was silent when they heard this, especially Xiao Pingguo, who knew that Kangda was not mocking his marksmanship, but talking about the fact that the firing accuracy of the 20mm machine gun would drop sharply with increasing distance.
"Two kilometers is the limit."
Wei Hong replied without a clue, obviously this is talking about the accuracy of the machine gun and the dispersion of the bullet point, under normal circumstances, the firing range is two kilometers away from Germany, and the dispersion range of the machine gun bullet can only be estimated with a probability, at that distance, the machine gun only threatens the dense formation, but with a slightly dispersed formation, it is all up to the probability that the bullet wants to hit the target.
At this time, Lao Wang turned the topic to the topic:
"If the enemy breaks through from there, well, apparently it's a relatively weak link there, and then what are you going to do next?"
Wei Hong immediately replied:
"First, in ten minutes, thirteen hundred heavily armed warriors of the Loka tribe will arrive from Cross Street near the outer wall of the ammunition factory."
"What if the enemy did not lay siege to the ammunition plant, but attacked the wooden wall directly or attacked the city?"
Lao Wang asked again.
"In that case, a trap will be formed inside the wall to annihilate the enemy, and then there will be a tall wall of the ammunition factory in front of the enemy, there will be the Imai Aya on the right side of the river, and the fire of the South Gate Tower on the left will be covered by the fire of the castle tower on the left side, and if the enemy wants to attack the cross street, the reserves of the ammunition factory will take the initiative to attack from the enemy's flank and rear! Then flank the enemy with the Governor's Palace Reserve and the warriors of the Loka tribe! ”
At this time, Wei Hong replied resolutely in a resolute tone.
"Well, it looks like you're confident, well, one more question: will the enemy attack us from the western section of the wall, despite the muddy mudflats? After all, the terrain there is also very open, and the enemy is coming from the west, so it is convenient for the enemy to deploy troops from there, right? ”
At this time, Lao Wang had another question.
