968 Confidence
When Lao Ba heard this, he sat down on a chair and leaned back and said:
"My opinion, this money has to be spent! Right? What do you think, Mr. Wang? ”
"No opinion, it's all at this point, don't think about money or not!
It's just that this silver has to be worth spent, you have to sign a contract with these people, you must really participate in the war to receive the silver, don't stay at sea during the war and watch the excitement, when we are done, these people come to ask for silver again! ”
At this time, Hou Xianglin smiled beside him:
"Haha, that's impossible, it's not that there is no one to supervise, I guess these captains may still be looking forward to a battle, after all, people are at sea, firing from afar, and they can make money safely, no one will let go of such a good thing."
"Well, it seems that the West Gate is indeed relatively stable, so the corner tower must be the main direction of the enemy's attack?"
Lao Ba immediately shifted the conversation to the current topic.
"Yes, so our final judgment is: the enemy's initial main attack direction must be the southwest corner tower pole and its two wings!"
When Su Gaofei said this, he pointed to the section between the east of the southwest corner tower and the south city gate with the long chopsticks in his hand, and responded:
"To be clear, we certainly want the enemy to attack the wooden walls on both flanks of the southwest corner tower, because any attack from that side will be covered by crossfire from at least two twin 20-millimeter guns, as well as covering bombardment from mortars.
Therefore, after careful discussion, we believe that since the enemy did not know about this situation at the beginning, it is very likely that the two wings of the southwest corner tower will be attacked at the beginning. ”
When Chief of Staff Su said this, his tone became a little lighter, and he said to everyone with a smile:
"Obviously, this is exactly what we want, and the enemy will suffer great losses outside this wooden wall, because that is where our defenses are strongest."
At this time, everyone present also listened very carefully, and obviously they all agreed with this statement-the eight to nine most elite infantry companies of the garrison were all companies equipped with Type 59 rifles, and they were all concentrated in the area centered on the southwest corner tower.
And there is a basis for this confidence - according to the performance of the soldiers during the recent visit to the shooting training of the garrison, the firepower delivery of the soldiers of the garrison unit time has increased compared with the past, for example, in just one minute, the average rate of fire of the soldiers using the Type 59 rifle and the Type 57 rifle can reach 7 to 10 rounds per minute!
According to the firing accuracy and bullet point dispersion of the Type 57 and Type 59 rifles, the hit rate within 300 meters can reach more than 20 to 30 percent, and although the accuracy of the Type 57 rifles is poor, the average rate of fire of the soldiers is faster, that is to say, even in the face of an attack of tens of thousands of people, the enemy will encounter 16,000 shots within a minute under the continuous fire of nearly 2,000 rifles.
Then according to empirical estimates, in a high probability, there should be about 5,000 hits, and this is still the result of estimation without any obstacles on the ground, and this has not yet counted the damage of pits, wooden stakes, machine guns and Type 57 grenades @ shells!
What's more, whether it is a Type 59 rifle or a Type 57, the hit rate at a distance of 300 meters is also more than 10 percent, and the firing range of the 20-mm machine gun before the effective misalignment reaches 2 kilometers!
Therefore, the enemy's tactical attack on the corner tower and the two wings of the corner tower will inevitably produce great losses, if the leader of the other side does not change the direction of the main attack in time and blindly cling to the established attack direction, then only two waves of such attacks are needed, and the enemy is likely to lose more than half of the attack force.
Obviously, unless the leader of the other side is a fool, he will definitely not continue to attack in this direction so stubbornly.
At this time, the long chopsticks in Fang Linyou's hand had already pointed to the area of the Xin'an River east of the South Gate, and he continued to introduce without breathing:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we estimate that this area will soon be chosen by the enemy as the second main direction of attack, or rather, the other side is likely to make full use of their numerical advantage and launch an attack at the same time on the southwest corner tower and the wooden wall east of the south gate, and it is even possible to send a partial division to feint at the same time to attack the wooden wall of the east city, putting full pressure on our defensive line!
We have to admit that this strategy is the most unfavorable for our side, if we do not conduct a calm analysis in advance, it is likely to cause miscommand and create an empty position for the enemy, which shot is only temporary, and then the keen enemy will find out these weak links in the defense line during the attack, and then put in reserves, and break through into the city in one go, and finally achieve their strategic goals!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the specific analysis of the enemy's possible offensive mode and plan after discussion by all our colleagues in the Urban Defense Command. ”
Before Fang Linyou's words fell, there was a burst of applause in the venue, obviously, everyone thought that this analysis of the City Defense Command was in place.
"This analysis is very convincing!"
"Attacking in an all-out way and looking for a breakthrough point is a strategy that is indeed feasible for an attacker with a numerical advantage......"
"The key is to give full play to the numerical advantage of your own side!"
"Yes, Brother Hou, if I were the leader of the other party, I would also make full use of the superior forces in my hand to carry out such an attack, as the saying goes, who knows which cloud in the sky will rain? Since it's not clear, let's test it with an all-out attack! ”
Kangda said to Hou Xianglin from his seat.
"Brother Kang, this is indeed the opinion of our city defense command......"
"Well, guys, now that you've analyzed the enemy's offensive patterns, how do we deal with them?"
Lao Ba once again put the topic on the right track.
"If the enemy wants to attack the city so much, then we will create a trap for the enemy and let the enemy jump in!"
At this moment, there was silence in the hall, and it was clear that everyone was not at ease with this so-called trap, for the simple reason that once the enemy entered the city, hand-to-hand combat was inevitable, and the problem now was that the only mobile force in the city was the reserves of the ammunition factory, including the two infantry companies that might retreat from the wooden walls, and besides, only 1,300 warriors of the Loka tribe, more than 1,000 volunteers, and two infantry companies guarding the Doge's Palace---- and they might face no less than 5,000 enemies.
At this time, Su Gaofei spoke again:
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the enemy is likely to break through the wooden wall, they will definitely pay a heavy price, don't forget, there is also the Yi Wuxuan on the Xin'an River, the ship's three-inch naval guns can bombard the enemy's gathering place in advance, one mortar gun and two machine guns can support the wooden wall at close range at any time, and even block the gap! So it is impossible for the enemy to rush in all. ”
"This is indeed like a trap, but once there is hand-to-hand combat there and the enemy and me are mixed, the machine guns and mortar cannons will definitely not be able to support you, and you will not dare to fire indiscriminately on the city gate, after all, you are afraid of accidentally injuring your own people, and at that time, you can only rely on yourself."
At this time, Peng Qiang spoke in the back seat, and Su Gaofei immediately responded:
"Of course we have taken this situation into account, and when the time comes, the only thing we hope you can do is to use the ship's firepower to kill and even block the gap in the wooden wall, and not let the enemy continue to join the hand-to-hand combat, I don't know if you can do it......"
