964 Hand-to-hand combat?

"Yes, Elder Wang, but if the enemy dares to attack from that direction, the Dawn and the Red Bay, as well as the Archangel and the Princess Casa blocking the Blue Pier, will all support the Western Wooden Wall."

Fang Linyou responded beside him.

At this time, Kangda's eyes were fixed on the map, and he suddenly muttered to himself:

"I feel the same as you, the enemy will definitely break through the wooden wall at a certain point, but it is not clear whether the wooden wall east of the south gate or the wooden wall of the west city is uncertain, and the two sections of the west gate near the sea and the south gate are indeed weak links, right? Don't know if my feelings are justified? ”

So Wei Hong calmly faced the few bigwigs present and said:

"Brother Kang's feeling is right, but there are some deviations, the real weak point will not be the West Gate, where it seems to be weak, but it is not, but the south gate riverside area is indeed a weak link, and hand-to-hand combat may not be avoidable......"

"If that's the case, we're really going to have hand-to-hand combat in the streets......"

Kangda's face immediately became a little heavy when he heard this.

At this time, Lao Ba suggested:

"In this case, we must also make corresponding troop adjustments, I suggest that the volunteers who were originally used for the defense of the naturalization camp and naturalization village should allocate half of their troops to Su Gaofei's governor's mansion, what, Yue Chu, what is your opinion?"

Yue Chu pondered for a moment and replied:

"If my mission is only to hold on to the naturalization village of the naturalization battalion, then 2,000 troops are enough......

"Well, in that case, let's settle it......"

Lao Ba looked back at Lao Wang, and then looked around at the participants with inquiring eyes and said.

"Agreed!"

"It should be fine......

At this time, Lao Wang spoke:

"Dongcheng will not be the enemy's main direction of attack, in case, the direction of Yiwu Aya, Xicheng, or even Dili City can still support you."

Wei Hong nodded and responded:

"Now it seems that if the Supreme Council for the Defense of the City passes, then we will do so, and it is clear that if the Governor's Palace and the direction of the Loka tribe are supported by more than a thousand volunteers, then our defense in the direction of Cross Street will be greatly strengthened."

So Lao Ba raised his voice for everyone: "Regarding the transfer of the former 300 volunteers guarding the planning office of the naturalization battalion to Xicheng to participate in the defense of the Governor's Palace, do you have any objections to this opinion?" ”

"Agreed."

"No objection."

"Yes."

"No problem."

……

"Okay, pass!" After Lao Ba finished speaking, he looked at Wei Hong, raised his hand and signaled him to continue speaking, so Wei Hong raised his voice and said:

"Now let's talk about the specific arrangement of the wooden wall of the West City and the two support points - the three support points of the wooden wall of the West City, each support point has four hundred to five hundred soldiers, and the rest are temporarily spread on the wooden wall, when the enemy breaks through the wooden wall at a certain point, we will either shrink our forces to the breakthrough point and strengthen the defense on both flanks or, if the situation allows, retreat to the ammunition factory or cross street to join up with the reserves of the Loka tribe and the governor's palace, and then organize a strong counterattack under the cover of the superior firepower on our city towers---- Our garrison, security and Loka tribes have been conducting joint drills many times over the past two months.

That is to say, once the wooden wall is broken through, the machine guns on the city tower and the firepower at both ends of the wooden wall breakthrough point---- including machine guns, mortar cannons and 57-type grenades @ shells, will be the key fire blockade of the gap section, therefore, when the enemy's brigade wants to break through the wooden wall into the city, it will pay a heavy price in the process, and at that time, the broken wooden wall is not only a breakthrough for the attacker, but a trap to lure the enemy!

It is conceivable that the enemy will flood in from the breach, and at that point our machine guns and other firepower will be able to fire at a dense base of enemies and inflict heavy casualties.

Then, it is time to clean up the remnants of the battlefield, and at that time the reserves and the warriors of the Luoka tribe will play a role, and if there is no problem with the eastern city, the volunteers led by Yue Chu can also support the western city.

And Daddy Loka has clearly told us that there are only 1,300 of them - each of them is equipped with heavy armor, shields and cold weapons such as spears and scimitars, which is the result of our continuous arming of the Loka tribe for more than a year, and he makes us believe that the warriors of the Loka tribe will not suffer at all in the wilderness against those natives, and now they have learned to assemble into an army to attack, if they attack in the streets, they can be invincible! ”

Wei Hong recounted the conclusions discussed by the City Defense Command in one breath, and then Lao Ba finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked another question:

"Well, the matter of hand-to-hand combat will be discussed later, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to be too specific, and now there is one more important matter: your personnel arrangements, have you finally decided on the people who will guard each point?"

Wei Hong immediately replied:

"It has been determined, just now we have consulted Brother Hou and Brother Kang, and decided that Brother Kang will lead a hundred security forces and three hundred selected volunteers to guard the East City Gate, and this direction of Brother Kang will be supported by the fire of Portuguese naval ships patrolling along the coast, and now it can be confirmed that once the enemy appears outside the East Gate, the Princess Casa will definitely appear on the coastline outside the East City Gate to bombard the enemy with naval guns, but we estimate that the enemy will not appear there.

Because four kilometers away from the east gate is Dili City, the tribal leaders all know that the Portuguese are allies with us, and attacking Xin'an City from there will be a back-to-back enemy, and the Portuguese will indeed send reinforcements according to the battlefield situation and our requirements, Pimont has agreed, and at that time will send at least 800 heavily armored soldiers to attack, pinning down the enemy's flank and back, and preventing the enemy from letting go of the wooden wall of Dongcheng.

Then there is the southeast corner tower of the east city, as I just said, the east city may be harassed by the enemy's containment attack, and the southeast corner tower and the south gate of the east city must be the primary target.

Therefore, we arranged a hundred soldiers of the security team and three hundred volunteers who were also selected in the southeast corner tower, commanded by Zhou Rui, and the security team was called a team, which was originally used for the development and defense of the Oecussi copper mine, and now it was handed over to Brother Zhou to defend the city. ”

Hearing this, Lao Ba nodded and said:

"It can be seen that your personnel arrangements are brainy, Xiao Zhou has been conducting training in that detachment since he came to Xin'an City, including going to night school to teach literacy, what is your relationship with those soldiers now?"

At this time, Zhou Rui responded confidently:

"Elder Ba Wang, please rest assured, those soldiers of the security team originally planned to follow me to Oecussi a while ago to open up, I have been training them, they are all familiar with them, and they are more handy in command, not to mention that there are three hundred volunteers on the corner tower.

Moreover, judging from the previous battles of the indigenous tribes, these tribal warriors have no ability to attack fortifications at all, even if they carry ladders to climb the city, because they are too short - the average height of men is only 1.55 meters, right? These warriors may be masters of sneak attacks in the wilderness and jungles, but once they face the high-rise buildings of the fortified city, they are helpless, these warriors have neither experience nor equipment, so they are powerless when facing the three-meter-high corner tower.

What's more, we still have machine guns and muskets in our hands on the corner tower! Here, I ask you to rest assured, as long as I don't go downstairs to fight the enemy in the field, the enemy can only look at the tower and sigh. ”

Zhou Rui didn't say anything more when he said this, but watched Wei Hong raise his hand and motioned for him to continue to introduce.
