And at this moment, Lao Ba, the old prince, Xianglin, Kangda and the others still had a serious face, they listened very carefully, and they did not receive the emotional infection of the speaker, when Wei Hong said this with some excitement, Lao Ba couldn't help frowning and blurted out:

"Who led the ammunition plant reserves?"

"Me!"

Fang Linyou, the deputy captain of the garrison, immediately raised his hand and replied.

"It seems that this is your plan of action once the enemy breaks through the wooden wall."

Lao Ba nodded as he spoke, turned his head to look at Lao Wang, and the latter looked at Hou Xianglin and Kangda, at this time Hou Xianglin looked at Fang Linyou and Su Gaofei and said:

"Anyway, you two may face hand-to-hand combat there, and you need to be prepared for that, after all, we always want to avoid hand-to-hand combat......"

But Fang Linyou looked at Hou Xianglin with a relaxed face and said:

"Brother Hou, of course we hope so, but ...... Our brothers racked their brains in these days, thought of various methods, and referred to various examples of city defense that we could find, but our brothers discussed and discussed, and finally could not convince ourselves of the idea that "the wooden wall will not be breached".

So in the end, we can only face the reality, after all, the enemy has the conditions and ability to organize tens of thousands, or even 20,000 people, to attack the wooden wall, and in the face of such a crowd attack, except for the tall and brick-concrete city gate tower and corner tower, we really can't be sure that the entire two-kilometer-long wooden wall will be safe and sound. ”

When Fang Linyou said this, he found that the audience was silent, knowing that this situation was indeed a bit depressing, so he continued to explain:

"Let's use an appropriate analogy - this is the same as the Great Wall in the north of the Great Heavenly Empire, no matter how powerful the dynasty within the Great Wall is, it can only be regarded as a line of defense, not a battle line! Note that although there is only one word difference between the front line and the line of defense, the meaning behind them is completely different.

In other words, although the Celestial Empire had to fortify everywhere on the side wall back then, it couldn't do it at all.

We have to admit that the nature of the wooden wall is actually somewhat similar to the Great Wall in the past in terms of the current defense conditions of Xin'an Fortress - the gate building on the wooden wall can only serve as a support point, but it cannot completely defend against the enemy outside the wall.

This is because, at that time, the question of where the enemy intends to attack, how large, how long it will last, how long the enemy's morale will be maintained, and so on, is simply unknown, and it is clear that the enemy has the initiative, and we are passive.

Well, at least at our current level of firepower and personnel training, we are passive, so it is very reluctant, or even impossible, to be 100% resistant to the enemy outside the walls! ”

After Fang Linyou spoke at length, the audience seemed to accept this reality silently, in fact, everyone actually knew very well in their hearts that under the siege of this scale, it was a high probability event that a certain place on the wooden wall was broken through, and it was a fluke if it was not broken through, or that the enemy was very stupid and weak.

However, everyone in this house knows that our victory must not be based on the stupidity, weakness and luck of the enemy, especially at the tactical level!

"Alright, now let's talk about how you fight hand-to-hand combat."

Lao Ba finally breathed a sigh of relief silently, raised his head and said to Wei Hong.

However, Fang Linyou and Wei Hong didn't speak again, and at this time, the two of them invariably pointed at Su Gaofei, who sat on the chair and looked back at everyone, with a smile on his face.

"What is Chief of Staff Su's opinion?"

At this time, Hou Xianglin asked with a smile from his seat.

So the latter stood up, walked to the map, picked up the long chopsticks placed on the table, pointed to the ammunition factory northeast of the south gate, and said:

"On behalf of the City Defense Command, I would now like to make a final framework analysis of the enemy's possible, nay, and supposed and inevitable attack methods and tactics:

First of all, the level of training of our various combat units -- the garrison, the security corps, and the volunteers -- has been greatly improved compared to the past, and in particular, the three-man bayonet fight training of the security unit of the garrison has achieved very good results.

In addition, the mapping of the machine gun shooting elements outside the wooden wall has also been fully completed, and at that time, our mortar guns, including the naval guns of the Ibu, you can aim accurately as long as you find the corresponding shooting elements according to the grid division on the map, and the shells will accurately fall on the enemy's head in that area.

In addition, we have made enough targeted preparations for the enemy's siege equipment, especially in how to defend against the enemy's soldiers defending the city from the bottom up.

As far as the enemy's equipment is concerned, the only ones that can kill our soldiers are bows and arrows and bronze cannons, so at present, we have stored a large number of shields and rolling logs on the west gate of the west city, and we also have three-pronged spears and stones on them - this is for the enemy's bows and arrows and climbing the city, and as for the five-seven grenades @ bullets, it is enough to blow all the enemies back to their hometowns.

Because the range of the enemy's bronze artillery is too short, even within the range of our mortars, this so-called siege weapon is ineffective for us, and when the time comes, we only need to fire a few high-explosive @ pill packs at the enemy's artillery positions, and the enemy's artillery will be scrapped.

It is possible to burn the wooden walls of the so-called arson materials carried by the enemy - if the enemy has time to calmly set fires, but the brick and stone gate towers and corner towers are not afraid of setting fire at all.

Therefore, the enemy will not be able to break through the city gate tower even if they swarm with the ladder to the city, after all, we have arranged enough dense troops on the city gate tower and corner tower, and now the city gate and the city wall on both wings have become a masonry wall with a height of more than three meters six, and there are still our strongest soldiers and firepower on the city gate, it is expected that the warriors of the indigenous tribe are one meter and five on average, and they cannot set fire to the wall, and in the face of the tall stone city wall, the enemy can only look at the wall and sigh.

So let's be honest here, although our brothers are in the forefront of the city gatehouse, but in fact it is very safe, as long as our side ensures the continuous coverage of superior range firepower, the enemy's bronze cannons and bows and arrows cannot attack the city, then the only thing the enemy can do is to go around and attack other locations. ”

"But the enemy may indeed find a way to use the bronze cannon, otherwise what else will someone bring it......"

"But it looks like the enemy doesn't know we have machine guns."

"Hehe, with a range of less than 500 meters, you can't reach the city wall in front of machine guns."

"Okay, that makes sense, go ahead and ......"

So Su Gaofei continued:

"In short, please rest assured, the defense of our various support points is solid and solid, okay, the basic situation is here first, now I will talk about the prediction of the city defense headquarters on the direction of the enemy's attack-

Judging from the current situation, the only place where the enemy can hope to break through the wooden wall is from the east of the South City Gate to the west bank of the Xin'an River......"
