The defense line of the Eighth Company is too long, and there is no other troops to protect the left flank, so the Eighth Company can only do this, as long as the enemy comes, immediately alert the main force.

Now it is regarded as the Ninth Company as the main guard, guarding the Headless Ridge, the Seventh Company as the deputy guard, assisting in the Wugongling, and the Eighth Company as the guard, guarding the riverside area.

The Ninth Company and the Seventh Company, which were on guard, treated the Eighth Company as an egg cake and spread it out very openly, but the Eighth Company was good at attacking and the troops were scattered, and they were also a little more flexible, and it was also advantageous to prevent them from sticking to one point.

When the time comes, in case the Japanese army will go up the Jinjiang River, in addition to the warning role, the Eighth Company can also carry out offensive active defense, not defend to the death, replace defense with offense, and make use of its strengths and avoid weaknesses.

As long as the Eighth Company delayed the Japanese army for half a day, the third battalion could mobilize troops to rescue them, as well as the 151st and 153rd regiments behind them, all of which were backers for in-depth defense.

There was still a machine gun company and battalion headquarters left in the third battalion, and the three dogs placed them in a mile behind the headless ridge, that is, 500 meters, which was 500 meters less than the regulations.

……

After the three dogs and the battalion headquarters hurriedly checked the terrain and distributed the troops, and after settling the battalion headquarters, they threw off their coats and excavated the fortifications with the soldiers.

The terrain of the third battalion is gentle, the Liao Mountain of the first battalion is the highest, the Shaguling of the second battalion is slightly shorter, and the headless ridge of the third battalion is just a few small hills, as for the Wugongling, it is almost to the riverside, and it is a piece of farmland.

The headquarters of the third battalion is behind Wugongling, which is also farmland and small villages, and now in March, it has been raining on the side of Shanggaogao'an, and it has been raining for more than ten consecutive days.

Like the warriors, the three dogs wore hats, raincoats or coats, and struggled to dig fortifications in the slightly chilly fields.

Due to the low terrain, the trenches were not dug very deep, and muddy water came out, as well as rainwater falling from above, and the whole position was muddy.

Even if the trench digs a drainage ditch, it can't solve the problem of stagnant water at once, and Sangou vaguely has a little bit of the feeling of Luodian in the northern suburbs of Shanghai.

The fortifications of the battalion headquarters are mainly dug by the guard platoon and the battalion headquarters personnel, and there are not many people in the battalion headquarters, but it is necessary to dig out at least one bunker to defend against the Japanese heavy artillery, which is not a small amount of work.

Everyone was as tired as cattle and panting, but they still had to hurry up the digging, and according to the detectives of the cavalry search company of the division headquarters in front of them, the Japanese 20th Brigade was only half a day's journey from here.

I'll go, this fortification is still just a prototype, the Japanese army is coming, this ghost weather, as hateful as the devil, the three dogs cursed secretly, while waving a pickaxe in their hands, digging deeper.

The others saw that the battalion commander and the boss were struggling to dig, and they were embarrassed to be lazy, so they also dug desperately, first digging a big pit and a deep pit, but there was a lot of water.

There was no way, so some people found the buckets and scoops of the villagers' houses, and while digging, they removed the stagnant water scoop and picked them away, and at the same time found a door panel to build a canopy on it to cover the rainwater that kept falling.

In the end, everyone became mud monkeys, and when it was time for lunch, the three dogs didn't bother to sit down and eat, but just washed their hands, grabbed a few buns, called Shang Xiucai, and rode on horses while eating together, and went to inspect the fortifications of the three infantry companies.

The infantry company has a large number of people and works fast, and the Ninth Company has now dug out more than three circular fortifications in Wutouling, and has also dug out the outpost positions at the front, which is a good job, after all, it is a miner unit from Baohua Mountain.

The previous framework of Jiulian was mainly the villagers of Baohua Mountain, and there were many miners there, digging tunnels, all of whom were experts.

It's just that it's not very good here, the geology is too soft, it's all laterite and loess, although it's easy to dig, but you have to find wood and stakes everywhere to reinforce.

In addition, it has been raining during this time, and there were fortifications dug by other troops in the past on the high mountain side of the Ganjiang River, and everyone used to strengthen and improve it.

Now it's not the same here, it's all to be newly excavated by yourself, the rain has been falling, it's rarely annoying, after all, Headless Mountain is a hill composed of several hills, it will be relatively better, you can build it on the mountain, dig a few ring fortifications along the mountainside.

When I arrived at Wugongling of the Seventh Company, the terrain was much lower, and the Seventh Company had no choice, and the two hundred or so people were also dug like mud monkeys, and the new company commander Wu Dingli couldn't see who it was, and he couldn't even see the Xiucai who was very familiar with him.

Knowing that Wu Dingli stood up and saluted himself, Sangou and Xiucai were able to distinguish who was the company commander, and Company Commander Wu explained to Xiucai Sangou the composition of the position and the distribution and application of troops.

It is a reasonable application of the terrain, Sangou and Xiucai nodded, and finally left with more confidence, at present, the seventh company is a company that Sangou Xiucai has been worried about.

The main reason is that Wu Dingli is the newly appointed company commander, although he has been in the Seventh Company and is very familiar with the situation of the Seventh Company, but after all, he was only promoted from a platoon commander to a company commander all at once, and I still don't know if he can be fully competent.

Now look at this seven-even digging fortification, it's quite reasonable, and I can't see many bright spots, but the terrain here is average, there is no place to use, even if you change the three dogs, you can't dig a better fortification.

In the end, Sangou and Xiucai went to Balian's side together, which was even more miserable, the terrain was the shortest, away from the river, and it was watery everywhere, and it was almost impossible to dig fortifications.

Looking at some of the fortifications of Sparse Lala, the company commander cried with a sad face, looked at Sangou and Xiucai, and Sangou also expressed sympathy, this kind of place can only be a flexible and mobile defense, relying on fortifications, it is not reliable at all.

However, here, the Japanese armored vehicles are estimated to be too daring to come, and the infantry is not willing, after all, it has to make a big bend, and while leaning against the river, it is very likely that it will fight against the water, which is more dangerous.

It is estimated that the enemy's cavalry will make a detour from here, so Sangou reminded the Eighth Company to guard against the devil cavalry troops, dig more trap pits, and find more rattan baskets for tripping horses and horses.

Back at the battalion headquarters, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, due to the rain, the sky was a little dark, as if it was going to be dark in the evening, and the three dogs went to the position of the machine gun company.

The machine gun company is the treasure of the three battalions, and the three dogs have always been very attentive to them, and the requirements for the position are relatively high, except for the general mortar heavy machine gun position, the anti-bombing of the bunker should be the same as the battalion headquarters.

The machine gun company mobilized the transport personnel, and the nearby villagers also came to help, digging together, and going to this place is a bit interesting, and the common people are very enthusiastic about supporting the army under the leadership of the county magistrate Huang.

I heard County Magistrate Huang say once that the population of the county was only 120,000, and he mobilized more than 30,000 people to support the front, pick up food and ammunition, dig fortifications and dig positions.

"If you are wounded, someone will carry it, and if you are dead, someone will be buried."

This is a sentence from County Magistrate Huang to the troops, and it is also a promise from the villagers to the army. 2k reading web
