2643 Fortress System
The consumption of the enemy's vital forces through defensive operations is a method adopted by the weaker side, and now the ROK New Army hopes to greatly deplete the numerical superiority of the Mongols through such a method, and to achieve a kind of suppression of the opponent's strength through the attrition of this superiority.
"Dig trenches, build forts. That's what I do every day. I don't know who thought about it. A private was sitting under a big tree with his rifle, while the Shink soldiers were digging more trenches under the scorching sun, and the South Korean New Army soldiers who were guarding in the distance were walking back and forth to prevent the Shink soldiers from causing a lot of confusion, because the labor intensity was very high, and there were already some signs of resistance from the Shink soldiers. Fortunately, the South Korean New Army organized a large number of patrols, and they were able to suppress the resistance of the Zinkers at the first time.
"We don't have to work, we just have to watch these Zinke soldiers. It's already a very good job. Zhang Chan said. He took a sip of water, the weather was hot, which made him feel very uncomfortable, especially their military uniforms, which were made of blended materials, in winter, such military uniforms were not enough to resist the cold, but fighting in such a hot place, military uniforms became the biggest discomfort, but unfortunately, many people above did not pay attention to this, their leather boots were also very stuffy, and many people got athlete's foot, because of military discipline, it is unlikely that the soldiers of the South Korean New Army are the same as these Xinke soldiers, shirtless, or wearing vests. Many of them wear no shoes and most of them are barefoot. Opposite. They had to wear leather boots, and the stuffy leather boots made them feel very uncomfortable.
"Damn it." Zhang Chan felt that his feet were all broken. Had to take off your feet and relax.
"These leather boots. It's so stuffy. We were also not given military uniforms or leather boots suitable for fighting here. This hellish weather, fighting in such a situation, is really bad for us. Private complained.
"Bear with me, maybe we won't have to endure for long." Zhang Chan said. A lot of fortifications were built. A large number of trenches have been dug up, in addition to some grenade mines, some barbed wire has also been densely laid out, and I heard that more barbed wire will be sent from the rear. In the core area, the main body of the defensive fortress built by geometry is being constructed, although a lot of civil engineering is used, but the fire points are carefully arranged, each firing position is surrounded by several positions responsible for flanking fire, the attacking enemy will be hit from the front, flanks, and even the rear, and there are neat roads behind these fire points, which is convenient for the South Korean new army to quickly carry out mobile defense, for the key areas to achieve maximum concentration of firepower.
"Those damn artillerymen are also laying out their artillery." Zhang Chan looked at the fort in the distance and said.
"Yes, those artillery pieces are able to provide us with plenty of firepower. With those cannons, we don't have to worry about the Monglas being able to take down our fortress. Private said lightly. He was already lying on the edge of the tree. He wanted to take a nap, for they didn't dare to do too much misdeeds against the Zink, because in that case, they would have to find the most severe punishment for the patrolmen, and the high point of the position was full of the Sinks who had their heads cut off. While suppressing the new army under high pressure, it was also co-opted by adding meals and improving treatment, which made it difficult for the Xin Kebing to riot on a large scale.
There is a big caste problem among the Shink soldiers. These problems are difficult to solve, and the Koreans have taken advantage of this. The internal contradictions of Xin Kebing are more complex than South Koreans think.
"The more artillery, the better." Zhang Chan looked at the artillery and said. In order to strengthen the defense, Zhang Chan and others kept collecting all the artillery they could collect, all the artillery on the armed merchant ships was unloaded and placed on the batteries of the fortress, and the artillery on some warships was also removed, if it were not for the escort of the merchant ships that were unloaded, their artillery might not be able to be saved.
"yes, blow them up, let's get some rest. I heard that weapons are being raised for those damn Zinke soldiers, and they will also join us when they fight, and they will perform some special tasks and let them fight, so that they can reduce some of our burdens, after all, we don't have many people, and everyone is tired when we move. Private said as he lay on the ground.
"Hmm." Zhang Chan just snorted. He knew about it. The total strength of the South Korean New Army is seriously insufficient, and they only have a strength of three or four thousand troops at most, and the strength of the defense of such a large fortress is generally tight, in order to solve the problem of troop strength. They had to pick out the right ones from among the well-behaved Zinke soldiers, issue them weapons, conduct simple training, and then organize them into new combat units.
I've heard that some of the new Zink units have started to carry out missions, such as keeping the not-so-honest Zinks in check, or performing some other missions.
What are these tasks? Zhang Chan is very clear.
At this time, Zhang Chan saw that there was some smoke rising from the position on the north side of the fortress. However, there were no security alerts, which may be a good thing for the Zinke soldiers.
"Well done. Not bad. Go on. "A sergeant of the Korean New Army carried his rifle on his back, and behind him, there was a string of Mengla men, who were good slaves, followed by several women, one of whom had only a strip of cloth on her. The Zinks next to them didn't look at them at all, because they were busy, and they ransacked the villages near the fortress, which had become a war zone. Those Menglas naively thought that they were innocent. As a result, they are now innocent people. The looting of their villages was the result of the laissez-faire of the South Korean New Army, which deliberately let these well-behaved Shink soldiers participate in the looting, so as to boost their morale and make them more loyal to the Korean New Army, and they could have their own booty. Of course, part of this goes to the South Korean New Army. They can have their own women and property, which can only be snatched from the locals, so that they can only be told a truth, only to follow the new army of Korea. These are the things they can get. Otherwise they can't do anything. It's as simple as that. And those Xinke soldiers are also actively showing their talents in this area. This would make the soldiers more loyal to the South Korean New Army. Because the new army of South Korea needs so many Zinkers.
