Chapter 438: Setting Up the Position
The district is located in the west of Ordos City, including most of the Etuoke Banner and part of the Etoke Front Banner and Hangjin Banner, with a total area of about 21,000 square kilometers, accounting for more than 24% of the total area of Ordos City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The terrain of the area is flat and undulating, with an altitude of 1300-1500 meters above sea level. The climate here is relatively arid, rainfall is scarce, the average annual precipitation is about 200 mm, it is a typical semi-desert grassland.
Although the altitude is high and the terrain is flat, it is obviously not a good environment for a blocking battle.
Wang Liang was secretly glad that he had led the troops to set off in advance, otherwise how would the trenches be dug.
"Zhang Dabiao, you take the soldiers of your battalion to dig ten trenches for me from south to north, and there are cat ear holes, there must be a cat ear hole every five meters, and the hole must accommodate at least three people." Wang Liang said to Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion who was standing beside him waiting for an order.
Cat ear piercing?
Zhang Dabiao's face was full of questions, what is a cat ear piercing?
"Captain, what is a cat ear piercing? I've never heard of this. How to dig this hole? Zhang Dabiao felt that it was better to ask clearly and then act well, he was afraid that something would go wrong.
Wang Liang remembered that cat ear piercing had not yet been popularized at this time.
Cat ear hole, cat ear hole refers to digging a hole in the side wall of a ditch or dirt slope where you can live.
The entrance of the cave should be set up on the sunny slope and leeward place with good soil, and try to avoid the shady slope and tuyere.
The cold protection effect of the cat ear hole is very good, and the temperature in the hole can be about 12~20C higher than that outside the hole.
In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) dug a large number of cat ear holes.
"Built on both sides of the trench and traffic trench, the arched semicircular gate is about one meter high, dozens of centimeters wide, and varies in depth and length. Still have any questions? Wang Liang said.
"Understood, Captain." Zhang Dabiao nodded, with the standard that the head of the regiment said, it would be much easier for him to do it.
After speaking, Zhang Dabiao assigned tasks to the soldiers of the first battalion, company and platoon, rushed to dig trenches, and built fortifications.
"Shen Quan, did you see the crooked-necked tree two kilometers away?" Wang Liang handed the telescope to Shen Quan and asked Shen Quan to take it and look at the place he said and determine the location.
"See, Captain." Because it is a vast and flat terrain, the vegetation is grass, and the crooked neck tree is more than ten meters high, which seems so abrupt that you can see it even without a telescope.
Wang Liang thought for a while and said, "En." You take all our mines and spread them one kilometer to the periphery with a radius of the crooked neck tree. Note that the rebub should not be too dense. Also, bury a few steel helmets and iron cups into it to confuse the enemy's deminers. My request is to make the devil unclean in a short period of time, and you can arrange the specifics yourself. ”
"Yes, Captain." Shen Quan nodded and went to make arrangements.
The role of the cat's ear piercing is naturally to fight shelling, tanks, aircraft.
As soon as the enemy starts shelling, immediately direct the fighters to hide in the cat's ear holes, which minimizes casualties.
Its function is mainly used for anti-artillery, hiding, storage ammunition, etc., to provide living space for soldiers who hold their positions.
Mines are the nemesis of the infantry, and a large minefield can stop the infantry's marching speed to the greatest extent.
In the case of a shortage of troops, this is the best way to use a huge minefield to hinder the devil infantry.
"What about Yang Dali? Didn't you ever work as a mason? Look at this drawing, the data, the graphics, the materials are all there, can you make it? Wang Liang glanced at Yang Dali and asked.
Yang Dali worked as a mason, and Wang Liang still heard about it from Shuisheng.
It just so happens that the current "project" needs to be done by Yang Dali.
Yang Dali took the drawings handed over by Wang Liang, glanced at them a few times, and patted his chest, "This thing is simple, I can do it." ”
Wang Liang patted Yang Dali's shoulder and said, "Okay, have you seen the trenches running north-south, go east from the first trench, a distance of 800 meters, build me a few rows, it is also north-south." Follow what is drawn on the drawings, and go. ”
Although Yang Dali was full of doubts, this was a war or building a house, what was the use of repairing these things?
Is it possible to stop the devil?
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, but seeing the confident appearance of the regiment leader, Yang Dali still took more than a dozen soldiers to carry the materials to the position pointed by Wang Liang.
What did Wang Liang ask Yang Dali to repair?
Anti-tank cones, of course.
Anti-tank cones?
That's right, anti-tank cones.
Many people are going to ask, people need reinforced concrete to repair anti-tank cones, don't tell us that you built reinforced concrete yourself.
The independent regiment could not be built, but the independent regiment did.
Coincidentally, there is really this thing on the robbery of the devil army, more than 20 bags, it is estimated that the devil is used to repair the dark fort.
An anti-tank cone is a triangular pyramid cast from concrete, resembling a pyramid, about half a meter high.
A triangular pyramid arranged at a certain distance to form a large area of net-like positions, but not necessarily a regular triangular pyramid, which is mainly forged with mixed soil.
It is primarily used to hinder tracked tank vehicles.
The principle is that when the tracked tank touches the anti-tank cone, because the front end of the land is slippery and the tracked tank vehicle is powerful, the tank car can easily slide from a plane of the anti-tank cone to the low top of the anti-tank cone.
When the tank slides to the top, the bottom of the tank is not slippery, so it is easy to get stuck on it. At this point, the anti-tank cone is like a jack, and even if you knock it down, it still has a sharp cone pointing upwards, hindering the tank's progress, and the only way to remove it is by blasting.
So when encountering this thing, the tank has to turn around and avoid them, buying more time for the defender (time is precious, if you can buy more time to keep the tank in, you can consume more morale and troops).
Such cones are usually lined up in a very long, large area, so that the enemy must clear this difficult thing.
Therefore, some tanks are also equipped with a dozer blade to facilitate combat and remove obstacles.
According to Wang Liang's understanding of the Japanese tanks, they did not have a bulldozer blade, and they could only be clarified through blasting.
Let Yang Dali repair more real and fake, mixed together, the area is a little larger, and it is estimated that the little devil will not be able to clean it up for a while.
Why is it a distance of 800 meters?
This one is very mysterious.
The tank currently commonly equipped by the Devils is the Type 95 light tank.
The main armament on the Type 95 light tank is a Type 94 37 mm tank gun, the effective range of this gun is about 600 meters, that is to say, out of 600 meters, it will not achieve the desired effect.
The secondary armament is two Czech-made Type 97 7.7mm heavy machine guns, with a range of about 800 meters.
In this way, the anti-tank cone can be set to disable the Devil's tank guns and heavy machine guns.
