"In view of the large number of Qing troops, in order to prevent accidents, the artillery company should pay attention to the battlefield situation at all times after knocking out the artillery positions of the Qing army, and immediately give artillery bombardment to the kind of enemy clusters that have gathered more than 500 troops; And the heavy machine gun platoon and mortar platoon of each battalion also have such combat missions, mainly to suppress and annihilate a large-scale enemy, and for enemy groups of less than 100 people, in principle, the infantry encirclement and annihilation shall prevail! ”

"Yes!" When the ministries heard this, they were very excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because of the battlefield rhythm that Xu Lie talked about, they can also feel it, and the premise of grasping this battlefield rhythm is the ability to control the battlefield. When fighting, the most important thing is to take me as the main one.

The general deployment of the operation is like this, and the next step is to prepare for the battlefield on the ground.

The first is trenches and makeshift combat positions, especially heavy machine-gun positions.

When it was time to set up the position, the officers above the company commander knew that the commander had chosen a good place. Because although this valley is relatively wide, it is only three miles from east to west, which is really wide enough as an ancient battlefield, but when several heavy machine gun positions are erected on both sides, the company commanders suddenly found that it seems that the Qing army is shrouded in heavy machine gun fire; If you also set up a few heavy machine guns at the end of the battlefield, Mao, isn't this catching turtles in an urn?

No wonder the commander is so generous. There are heavy machine guns to maintain their own undefeated, and if they don't train for Mao, who would think of using such an opportunity to train their troops.

To train troops, it is necessary to train a complete set. In this operation, Xu Lie decided to pull out all five battalions to fight.

From the beginning of the on-site operation in the Pig Waist Valley, Xu Lie took the third-level officers of the battalion, company and platoon to teach them how to arrange troops and firepower, how to demarcate the firing area of artillery, how to dig trenches, how to build fortifications with local materials, how to conceal, how to grasp the rhythm of operations, how to judge the battlefield situation, how to organize the charge, etc., as long as Xu Lie felt that these guys should learn, they all taught them with their brains.

The Pig Kidneys Valley is very long, at least about eight miles long. Considering that the Qing army's marching column may be relatively loose, Xu Lie must also contain the valley mouth and the valley tail, otherwise, there may be fish that slip through the net.

And to encircle at both ends, Xu Lie's troops are actually not enough. Fortunately, Xu Lie was armed with a total of 37 heavy machine guns, 34 60 mortars, and of course 6 75mm mountain guns.

The troops are not enough, so they can only make up the firepower! Mao, how can hearing this make people feel envious, jealous and hateful? The Dragon Kingdom has always been a battle with insufficient firepower, so it can only be used to fight the vast sea of people's wars, why is it the other way around?

No, no, no, I'm a traverser, and there is a steady supply of arms, Nima doesn't show the majesty of the dragon country, I'm afraid there will be no chance.

Of course, these emotions are the extremely stinky things in Xu Lie's mind, and he can only enjoy himself when no one is around.

……

In the north of Mengyin City, the Mengshan army weaved a big bag and prepared to put 10,000 Qing troops into it. And Zhang Rumei, the leader of the 10,000 Qing army, didn't have that consciousness at all at this time.

Starting from Jinan to Mengyin, it is not the road on the map of later generations, but it has to pass through Zhangqiu, Boshan, Laiwu, Xintai and other counties. In later generations, there was a road from Jinan to Tai'an and then to Laiwu or Xintai, but in this era, that road did not have an official road for the army to pass through except for the small road.

Zhang Rumei, as the highest military and political chief in Shandong, is rare to be in the next place, so this guy walks all the way to usher in the way, and the above-mentioned counties must be carefully investigated, and he must stay in the county for one or two days. This is not only the needs of Zhang Rumei herself, but also the needs of the officers below.

As a result, the speed of this army of 10,000 is not much different from that of ants.

Fortunately, Xu Lie did not wait for the arrival of Zhang Rumei's army, and after arranging the battlefield, he asked each battalion to play the role of the enemy and us, and began a live-fire combat confrontation exercise to comprehensively test the training level of each battalion in recent times.

Suddenly, the artillery fire in the Pig Kidney Valley shook the sky, and bullets flew sideways.

In fact, live-fire combat exercises were risky, and after only one day of study, one soldier was killed and more than a dozen were wounded.

However, Xu Lie hardened his heart and continued to resist the exercise, which lasted for three days, and only after everyone was accustomed to the artillery bombardment and heavy machine gun fire did he stop this madman-like move.

"When you are a soldier, there is nothing that you don't sacrifice, either on the battlefield or on the training ground! I know of a famous army, when the flood came, they sent tens of thousands of troops to help the people strengthen the river embankment, but as soon as the flood peak arrived, hundreds of soldiers were swept away by the flood and drowned, and some soldiers did not even find their bodies! ”

At the summary meeting at the end of the exercise, Xu Lie made a special explanation of the dead incident.

Of course, the death incident was an accident, and it had something to do with the lack of clarity and carelessness in the platoon commander who commanded the exercise, and the platoon commander had already been dismissed, and the company commander to which he belonged was given a demerit and the battalion commander to whom he was to be warned and punished.

As for those who were wounded, they were not standard in their movements, they were flustered when they were about to fight, their movements were a little large, and they were bitten by bullets.

"Report to the commander, the Qing army's forward is still 30 miles away from the end of the valley!" Finally, the long-awaited Qing army is about to arrive at Mengyin Wharf.

"Continue to monitor, and when the Qing army is 10 miles away, report again." Xu Lie built a hidden command post on the commanding heights of the battlefield. As for the fact that each battalion also has its own command post, Xu Lie sent a walkie-talkie to each battalion commander.

(Mao, don't cheat too much, what hope does the Qing army have for the Qing army to win with such an armed Mengshan army?) ）

When Xu Lie looked at the sky, he was proud of the ambush location he had chosen. Because this location is three miles north of Changlu Town, and Changlu Town is about twenty miles away from Mengyin County, so under normal circumstances, the Qing army must arrive at Changlu to rest for the night, and then move to Mengyin City the next day.

Moreover, the troop movement of this era generally gets up early, but also rests early, if it is dark and has not eaten dinner or set up camp, it may encounter all kinds of dangers, because most of the soldiers in this era are night blind, and there is no reliable lighting facilities, even if the enemy is ambushed twenty meters away to shoot arrows, there is no way to deal with it.

When Xu Lie looked at the sky, he calculated that the Qing army's forward would enter the Pig Waist Valley at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Qing army's large army would never drag into the valley past four o'clock in the afternoon, after all, the tail of the valley to Changlu Town, but there was still fifteen miles of road (6 kilometers + three miles).

"Report to the commander, the advance of the Qing army is still 10 miles away from the tail of the valley!" The enemy is near, finally close.
