Xu Rui smiled and continued: "Moreover, we can also find a way to make this area east of the Feihe River more muddy and make it more difficult for the little devils to attack. ”

"Make it muddy east of the Fat River?" Ding Li said confusedly, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Rui said: "Head Ding, haven't you noticed that due to the heavy rain for several days, the water level of the Feihe River has already been higher than the horizon?" As long as the embankment on the east side is dug at this time, the river water will flood down, flooding the entire area east of the Fei River, and the entire area east of the Fei River will immediately become more muddy when it is soaked by the river! ”

"That's right!" Ding Li's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly, "Why didn't I think of it? ”

Xu Rui said again: "At that time, the devil's heavy artillery couldn't get close to your defensive position at all, as long as you put a part of your troops on these dozen hills, the little devil could only throw in the infantry one by one, and step on knee-deep or even thigh-deep water to launch a strong attack, and the offensive efficiency would be greatly reduced." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! In this way, the little devil will not be able to give full play to the advantages of troops and equipment, and the little devil will be blind even if he comes to another division and two heavy artillery brigades! Ding Li slammed the knot and said excitedly, "Chief Xu, it's thanks to you that you're here this time, otherwise we really don't know what to do, now it's okay!" ”

Xu Rui smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "However, it cannot be ruled out that the little devils forcibly dragged the heavy artillery over and fired at close range, so you still need to build anti-artillery fortifications on the anti-slope of these hills. ”

"That's fine." Ding Li agreed, "I'll take someone to do it!" ”

At that moment, Ding Li personally led people to repair the fortifications, and really let Xu Rui say, now the soil layer of these small mountain bags has become very loose and soft because of the immersion, so it is easy to cut the mountain, Ding Li divided the whole group of more than 1,000 people into more than a dozen teams, each team is responsible for a small mountain bag, and it is in full swing.

The rest of the things, but there is no need for Xu Rui to continue to supervise, Xu Rui turned around the position twice, and then came to the defensive position of Feinan with thunder, Feinan belongs to the defensive position of the 2nd Regiment of the Central Anhui Advance Brigade, where the terrain is higher than Feidong, so the water situation is not so serious, and the fortifications are built relatively smoothly.

But Xu Rui walked roughly along the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment of the Central Anhui Advance Brigade, and his brows immediately frowned, because the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment of the Central Anhui Advance Brigade were not well repaired, or to put it more bluntly, it can even be said that it was repaired like ****, in a word, the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment still failed to get rid of the bad habits of the National Army!

In essence, the Nationalist Army is still an old army, and has not gotten rid of the influence of the Beiyang Army, for example, the construction of heavy machine gun fortifications, will only blindly pursue the opening of the firing range, so it is often built on the commanding heights, and in actual combat, such heavy machine gun fortifications can easily be destroyed by the enemy's various artillery.

In particular, the grenadiers of the little devils hit extremely accurately, and it is even more sure to destroy such heavy machine-gun fortifications.

In addition, the fortifications only pay attention to horizontal expansion, but lack of in-depth protection, so that once it is broken through a little, the entire defense line will collapse in an instant, about this bad habit, in the defense of Nanjing, the most vividly manifested, to the national army is also the most damaged!

In the Battle of Nanjing, the Nationalist Army Command gathered more than ten elite divisions, relying on Niushou Mountain, Purple Mountain and Qixia Mountain, to build a seemingly tight defense line on the periphery of Nanjing, and threatened to hold it for at least more than three months, but in fact, in less than three days, this seemingly impregnable defense line collapsed.

The basic reason is that because the defensive positions of each division only pay attention to horizontal deployment, but lack of in-depth protection, the Japanese army only needs to break through one of these points, and the defense line of the various divisions of the Nationalist Army will be shaken in an instant.

This bad habit of the Nationalist Army did not improve until the Battle of Wuhan, but unfortunately, the elite troops of the Nationalist Army had already been basically lost at that time, so even if there was a good general like Xue Yue, he could only seek a victory in the local battlefield, but he could not launch a counteroffensive and win from the overall situation.

Seeing Xu Rui's frowns, Lei Xiang asked in a low voice: "Regiment commander, the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment are not well repaired?" ”

"It's not that it's not badly repaired." Xu Rui shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's very badly cultivated, it's just a mess, a ****!" ”

Lei Xiang was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Xu Rui's words were very polite.

At this time, Luo Feng hurried over with Lei Peng.

Luo Feng said: "Commander Xu, I can be regarded as looking forward to you, take a look, there are still some places in the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment that have not been repaired in place, you must point it out, don't be polite." ”

Hearing Luo Feng say this, Lei Peng was even a little unconvinced.

Like Ding Li, Lei Peng also admired Xu Rui very much, but he was still very confident in the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment, because he was completely repaired in accordance with the requirements of the infantry drill code, and in some details, the fortification specifications of the 2nd Regiment were even stricter than those stated in the infantry drill code.

For example, the requirements for traffic trenches in the drill code are that they can bend over to pass, but the main traffic trenches of the 2nd regiment, as long as they are less than 1.8 meters tall, can walk straight without worrying about being hit by stray bullets.

Lei Peng's creed has always been high standards, strict requirements, and strive for perfection in doing things.

Xu Rui nodded when he heard this, he didn't intend to show mercy, and now he will not be polite, and said: "Brigade Commander Luo and Regiment Commander Lei, the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment must be torn down and restarted, just now, this fortification, it's not that I want to vent your anger, I'm afraid even the little devil can't stop the attack for half a day." ”

"Knock it down?" Luo Feng was stunned when he heard this.

Lei Peng immediately became anxious and said, "Chief Xu, I have strictly followed the requirements of the infantry drill code, and even set the standards stricter than the drill code. ”

Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because you are in strict accordance with the fortifications of the infantry drill that you must tear down and start over, because the infantry drill of your Central Military Academy, adhering to the infantry drill code of the Baoding Military Academy of the Beiyang Army, has lagged behind this era and can no longer keep up with the current military footsteps!" ”

Without waiting for Lei Peng to refute, Xu Rui immediately said: "Don't be unconvinced, just say that this heavy machine gun fortification under our feet, you build the heavy machine gun fortification on the top of this hill, the field of vision is broadened, and the shooting range is also good, but it is also convenient for the little devil, the little devil only needs to throw a grenade to blow up your heavy machine gun into the sky!" ”

Lei Peng was speechless, he wanted to say that the devil's grenadier may not have a chance to advance to within five hundred meters, but in fact, he knows better than anyone else the devil's power, if he wants to stop the devil's infantry grenadier from approaching within five hundred meters, it is simply wishful thinking, and as long as the devil's grenadier is approached within five hundred meters, what Xu Rui said will become true.

Xu Rui continued: "You take a closer look at this section of your fortifications, if you don't have this heavy machine gun, your section of fortifications will immediately lose its support point, and then look at your entire fortifications, as long as the devil breaks through this point, your entire defense line will collapse!" From here on, will your regiment still be able to hold on? ”

Hearing this, Luo Feng imagined what Xu Rui said, and immediately gasped.

Lei Peng's face was also a little pale, because he found that Xu Rui was not alarmist, and if he really wanted to fight, the possibility of Xu Rui's description of this situation was very high!

However, Lei Peng was still a little unconvinced, and said in a muffled voice: "Then how should this fortification be repaired?" ”

"That's how the fortifications should be repaired." Xu Rui pulled out his bayonet, squatted down and drew a line on the ground, then pointed to the line, and said, "This is the Feiwu Highway, your 2nd Regiment only needs to hold this road, so there is no need to pull out such a wide defensive front, do you still want to block all the detour lines of the devils in a regiment?" If it can't be blocked, there is no need to block it, if the devils want to make a detour, let them take a detour, as long as you are stuck on the Feiwu Highway, the heavy army group of the little devils will never be able to bypass, and Feicheng will not be in danger. ”

Lei Peng said: "After the little devil detours from both sides, what should we do if we are intercepted behind us? ”

Luo Feng nodded approvingly, if the devil took a detour and then intercepted him, wouldn't they have to suffer from the enemy?

"That's the second point I'm going to make." Xu Rui nodded, and continued, "Shrinking the front and blocking the road is only the first point, the second point is the depth protection, your three battalions should not be lined up, but should be arranged in front and back, which can echo back and forth, and can also protect each other." ”

After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "This is a large-scale defensive deployment, now let's talk about the specific arrangement, your heavy machine gun fire point must not be arranged on the top of the uncovered mountain, but should be arranged on the side of the mountain, and then use two side-firing fire points to form cross-fire to protect each other, which can not only effectively prevent the frontal attack of the devil, but also effectively dodge the attack of the devil's artillery." ”

"Side-firing points?" Luo Feng said awe-inspiringly, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, in fact, during the Battle of Songhu, we had suffered a big loss from the side fire of the little devils, and in the first battle of the North Railway Station, a battalion of our brigade, because the lone army went deep, was subjected to the fierce fire of the devil's side fire, and finally the whole army was annihilated!" ”

"Yes, side-fired firepower is not only almost as powerful as frontal fire, but survivability is significantly stronger!" Xu Rui continued, "So, unless you have a solid permanent fortification to rely on, never build heavy machine gun fire on the front, because that won't help at all." ”
