Chapter 049: Boosting Morale

Prepare the first trench of the position of the first regiment.

After two hours of hard work, Liang Shanhao's mine-laying plan was finally completed.

All mines are laid at important points in the first trench, such as machine gun nests, anti-artillery holes, etc.

The kind of mine laid by Liangshanhao is the famous German S-type jumping mine, which can be called a nightmare for infantry.

Once the devil steps into the trench and accidentally triggers this anti-infantry mine, the countless iron balls of the entire mine will jump to half waist height, killing and injuring the devil.

This kind of mine is different from ordinary mines, and its lethality is absolutely high.

When a devil steps on such a mine, he will either be killed or injured.

A sweaty platoon commander ran over with a shovel: "Report to the battalion commander, all 36 mines have been laid."

Glancing at the white belly of the fish in the east, the first battalion commander showed a satisfied look on his face: "How long is there until four o'clock when the regimental seat is limited?"

The platoon commander replied, "There are 10 minutes left!"

With a long sigh of relief, the first battalion commander had a relieved look in his voice: "Well done!" The brethren have worked hard! By my command, all the brethren should bring their tools to the second defense to rest. ”

He gave a military salute to the first battalion commander, and the platoon commander responded: "Yes!"

However, in order to ensure the secrecy of the minefield, the commander of the first battalion personally inspected the minefield when he evacuated a defensive line.

Some of the mines are still so obvious that the devils will feel that something is wrong at a glance, but fortunately, the battalion commander is very good at the work of laying mines, and he personally readjusts the mines to make the mine points integrate with the surrounding environment as much as possible.

War is deceptive.

Bray is a deceptive job.

The commander of the first battalion is an officer who has fought old battles, and he is really not good at strategizing, but if you want to talk about this mine, the first battalion commander says the second, and it is estimated that no one dares to say the first.

I remember that during the Battle of Songhu, the Sichuan Corps of the first battalion commander was pursued by devils in the process of evacuating from the Shanghai Theater.

According to the scouts' report, there was only one squadron of devils brought up, and the Sichuan regiment of the first battalion commander was only more than 800 people, and the weapons were all old Hanyang-made sleeves.

According to the speed of the devil's pursuit, the entire Sichuan army is afraid that it will not be able to see the sun of Nanjing City tomorrow.

But living people can still suffocate urine.

The weapons of the Sichuan Corps were not good, but there were still mines, and when they evacuated Nanjing, the commander of the first battalion also ordered four boxes of German-style anti-infantry mines of the Central Army.

The first battalion commander told the regiment commander his thoughts, and the regiment commander's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a decision: "Old Xiong, this idea is good, so I did it!"

The Sichuan regiment quickly marched to an open field, and the commander of the first battalion completed the minelaying as fast as he could.

Soon, the devil's squadron arrived, and because of the great victory in the past few days, the devil's officer could not help but be overly proud, and led the troops on a tall horse to crash into the mine array arranged by the commander of the first battalion.

A scout elite soldier is all relied, and a whole squadron of devils rushes towards the minefield with only one force.

As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated.

In a violent explosion, the devil's squadron was killed and wounded, and it was suddenly unable to continue the Sichuan Army, which had been greatly injured.

The leader of the devil squadron riding a tall horse was also blown to pieces, and his hands, feet and body were separated in an instant.

This time, the results of the ambush devil squadron were reported to the headquarters of the Sichuan army, and the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan army sent a telegram of commendation, and the name of the first battalion commander who was good at making landmines began to spread throughout the Shanghai-Nanjing theater.

And Liang Shanhao took a fancy to the strength of the first battalion commander who was good at using mines, so he handed over the heavy responsibility of laying mines to the first battalion commander.

In the trenches of the second line of defense.

The fighters of the first battalion, who had just been withdrawn from the First Defense, were resting in the anti-artillery holes.

Picking up a piece of compressed biscuit and nibbling it in his mouth, the commander of the third battalion sneered: "Old Xiong, you said that our regiment didn't fight well, why did you let your regiment withdraw to our third battalion?" Is it because the regiment sees that the attrition of your battalion is too serious, so they take care of you? ”

With a glaring of eyes, Lao Xiong shouted at the top of his voice: "Eh, what do I mean by saying that you are the commander of the third battalion?" Are you undertrained? Don't think that you are from the Central Army, Lao Tzu, the battalion commander transferred from the Sichuan Army, is afraid of you! ”

With a high-minded appearance, the commander of the third battalion said: "Practice, practice, who is afraid of whom!"

Seeing that the two battalion commanders were about to roll up their sleeves and get up, Liang Shanhao appeared at this time.

Liang Shanhao opened his voice and scolded: "You two battalion commanders, are you panicking, aren't you?" Do you think this fortification is uncomfortable, or do you think this compressed biscuit is not delicious! ”

Seeing that Liang Shanhao was angry, the first battalion commander smiled and said: "The regimental seat is angry, it is the third battalion commander who picked the head first, and he looks down on me, who was born in the Sichuan army!"

Looking up and down at the third battalion commander, Liang Shanhao laughed coldly: "Third battalion commander, you don't have a few more heads and a few arms than the first battalion commander, you kid as an officer of the regular army, you can't set an example, in my place, no matter which local unit you come from, you are all Chinese soldiers, you can't just ask Lao Xiong for trouble, don't you hear!"

With their feet together, the third battalion commander said: "Yes, regimental seat!"

After looking at the soldiers who were eating dry food in the second trench, Liang Shanhao opened his voice again and asked, "Brothers, is the dry food enough?" If it's not enough, I still have it. ”

The soldiers of the 1st Reserve Regiment, who were tasting the US Army's C rations, responded in unison: "Enough!"

One of the soldiers shouted, "Tuanza, when will we have a hot meal!" We've all had dry food for a week! This appetite is starting to scream! ”

With a kind look on his face, Liang Shanhao replied loudly: "After this battle, I invite everyone to rub the drunken immortal building in Nanjing City, and then go to Shenyu Lane to relax and relax, okay?"

His eyes lit up, and a veteran sneered: "Tuanzao, we haven't been to this kind of place for a few days, and the listeners have a share!" One of the first regiments is counted as one, and the regiment owes us a ride in Sinking Fish Alley. ”

Nodding, Liang Shanhao smiled: "Okay, okay!" I, Liang Shanhao, spit a nail and never break my word. As long as everyone can survive! Give me a good fight devil and hold the position! It's all easy to say! ”

The crowd of warriors cheered: "Yes! Absolutely do not let the little devil step into the city of Nanjing. ”

Walking on the way to the brigade headquarters, Liang Shanhao couldn't help but fall into deep thought about the encouragement just now.

The city of Nanjing is now embattled, the devils have besieged the city of Nanjing, and the Nanjing garrison has no outside assistance.

The fate of the 1st Reserve Regiment will be severely tested.

These hundred warriors don't know how much will be left in the next battle.

Although the future is bleak, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, Liang Shanhao, as a military commander, can only draw a big pie for them.

When people are in a desperate situation, what they need most is hope.

Now that the city of Nanjing is in danger, the breath of defeat has already spread to the whole army, and at this time, Liang Shanhao has to cheer up the soldiers.

Even though some people may never have the chance to go to the restaurant downstairs of Zuixian, nor do they have the opportunity to go to Shenyu Lane to enjoy the long-awaited beauty, Liang Shanhao still has to draw a blueprint for them.

Of course, this blueprint is slightly agitating and deceptive, but it is the hope that sustains them to continue fighting.

It is not possible for a person to live without a little hope, Liang Shanhao knows this truth very well.
