Chapter 0037 - A place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack

After receiving a secret report from Lu Xiang that the Qing army was about to enter and suppress it, Xu Lie held an emergency assembly in Baoqian Mountain the next day. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, the emergency gathering is mainly the military and the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the two departments, as for logistics and children, if it is an emergency gathering at night, they are not required.

This kind of emergency gathering was tantamount to torture for the peasants of this era, and they cursed Xu Lie many times in their hearts, because after all, this was an unprecedented measure, and it was really incomprehensible to everyone.

However, when Xu Lie offered a big stick to ask him to leave if he didn't want to do it, no one dared to say anything again. Because although they were a little tired in the calf village, the commander tortured them in different tricks, but they ate better than the landlord's old wealth in terms of food, and the landlord's old wealth was just a tooth sacrifice on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the mountain was a tooth sacrifice every day.

This is food, to talk about the clothes, not to mention the landlord's old wealth, it is said that even the county magistrate, the prefect, and the governor are not well dressed, and even such powerful foreigners do not have this thing. According to the old man of Hug Calf Village, the liner they are wearing, called a down jacket, is light and warm, and it is the only one in the world, and there is no other branch.

Moreover, it seems that although the commander tortures them in different ways, as long as he does not make mistakes, he does not punish them, and the commander has a leather whip in his hand, which is said to have been given to the commander by the second uncle Cao, and the commander holds it in his hand every day, but he has never seen him smoke anyone; On the contrary, if you win training and competitions, there are rewards. This reward, with silver, wine, and of course allows more bullets.

However, the effect of the torture has also come out, before it was necessary to assemble, and it was impossible to get out of the door in half an hour, but now if it is a platoon that has been given a gun, it can be done in five minutes after the order to set off, and the other soldiers can also complete it within ten minutes.

When the team of nearly 1,000 people stood densely on the newly opened training ground, Xu Lie was still a little proud. Mao, in his previous life, he only brought 150 soldiers at most, but in this life, labor and management must bring 1.5 million or 15 million soldiers!

Of course, Xu Lie was only a little obscene, and when the platoons were all completed, Xu Lie walked up to the flag stand and began to release his No. 1 war ******:

"Soldiers, I just received a report from the observer that the imperial army has left Mengyin County, and the war is about to start! Now, I order: Hold the calf and enter a state of war! The first platoon immediately entered the forward position, and the second platoon and the third platoon were ready to attack at any time! The other platoons should pay attention to strengthening the vigilance of each point, and be wary of the imperial army breaking through the path! The Ministry of Economy continues to maintain production, the Logistics Department does a good job in logistics supply, and the school continues to teach! ”

The initial order was very understandable to everyone, but Xu Lie was talking about it, and why did Mao continue to teach at school? It's going to be a war, who still has the heart to go to class at this time?

Of course, Xu Lie didn't notice the change in the faces of a few people, and no one understood the importance of studying like him. In the previous life, although many people talked about the uselessness of reading, all parents were spending a lot of money to send their children to the best schools. Relatively speaking, sending your child to the best school is the investment with the highest rate of return.

With the high-speed operation of the calf village, all departments quickly entered the post. If there are people who know how to fight, they will sincerely sigh at the ability to hold the calf, Nima, thousands of people are so orderly to unfold, even Yuan Shikai Yuan's new army does not have this means.

A platoon went to the forward position.

The second and third platoons entered the designated positions, and the soldiers of each squad sat in the rest area, took out the five or six semi-automatic rifles, and silently and self-contained wiping them.

"A gun is a soldier's second life!"

"People don't leave the gun, the gun doesn't leave the person, the person is in the gun!"

"Cherish your guns as much as your own eyes!"

"Only a polished gun can destroy the enemy accurately and effectively; in order to save his life at a critical moment! ”

All kinds of slogans about guns have long been memorized by soldiers and have become their habits.

In essence, in addition to Xu Lie's personal military quality and insight, Xu Lie is not a so-called military genius, he knows that in order to defeat a powerful enemy, he must start from the smallest place. Let the army in your hands become a precision machine.

Other platoons also followed the order and strengthened the cordon everywhere.

At present, the total strength of Baoqi Mountain has 5 companies, the scale of nearly 800 people, if they are all armed with broadswords and spears, these 800 people will definitely be able to rush up to fight, but the number of casualties is unknown, and whether they can defeat the enemy, it is even more unknown.

Xu Lie would not use troops like this.

Except for the three platoons that had already been formed, that is, almost one company, because they had been taught rifles and had carried out moving target shooting, the rest of the troops had not even touched their guns.

In the era of hot weapons, if his subordinates were allowed to go into battle with big swords and spears, Xu Lie might as well surrender as soon as possible.

Can three platoons, about 140 people, deal with two thousand Qing troops?

What Xu Lie is thinking about now is not whether he can deal with the Qing army, but what these 140 people can do in battle. After all, except for Jia Fei and the other six people, the others are real rookies, although there are also people who have killed people when they were bandits, but it does not mean that they will not panic when they encounter the regular Qing army.

Xu Lie's idea is very peculiar, very arrogant, and very arrogant. Because he actually wanted to take this opportunity to train his troops!

Yes, training. Only a soldier who has experienced war can be called a soldier; And only soldiers who have experienced the war for a long time and survived the annihilation of the enemy can be called qualified soldiers.

Xu Lie's idea was to train the troops.

The reason for this is that in the entire calf village, it is he who really has the strength to destroy the enemy. As long as he doesn't collapse, the entire calf mountain won't collapse.

Of course, the innate ease of defense and difficulty in attacking is also an important reason why it can be used for military training.

From Salamander Village to Baocalf Village, there is only one sheep intestine trail, and this trail is about to arrive at Baocalf Village, it is a cliff, although a considerable part of the road under the cliff is dug into the inside of the cliff, and the people above cannot see it, but there are also five nodes, just under the fire point above.

In other words, if the Qing army wanted to rush forward head-on, it had to pass through these five nodes, which were the five sniper points that the defenders on the hill could easily attack.

For this reason, in the past, the calf village not only usually had at least 10 muskets aimed at these sniper points, but also prepared a large number of rolling stones.

Of course, this is in the past. Things have changed.

Because the effective range of the Type 56 rifle can reach 400 meters, and if the firepower is intensive, the effective killing distance can also reach 800 meters. In the past, most of the winding mountain paths could be seen from the cliffs on the side of the calf village, but whether it was muskets or bows and arrows, because the attack range was limited, you could only look at the enemy and sigh.

But because it can be observed, the enemy's actions can be informed in time to the person in charge of defending the attack. Therefore, the calf village has become an impregnable wall.

The enemy does not spend a lot of money, and it is really difficult to break through the defense of the calf village.
