Chapter 184: The Battle Begins
"Second brother, our father and mother will be handed over to you." "Wife, you have brought your father and the child, if there is a coincidence, you can find someone to marry."
There was a sadness in front of the trenches, and many soldiers were explaining the afterlife, they had no intention of continuing to live, and what they were facing in front of them was a team of nearly 4,000 people.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, I said brother, why are you so sad, look at it, and explain the aftermath, you can rest assured, under the command of our captain, we will never give you the opportunity to make heroes, nor will we give you a touching scene, and you will know when you finish the battle, the battle commanded by our captain is definitely the most boring battle, dead, unless you have to touch the gun."
"Captain Liu, look, the people have demolished their houses, how do you let them live, it's the New Year." "Why, I can't live, didn't I arrange a place for them to dig a hole, I said the village chief, this is a war, naturally adults and children have to contribute, isn't it just a little more difficult these days, when the war is over, we will help them build a house, if you want to live well during the war years, then it will be very good to go to be a Han anniversary, there will be meat to eat, wine to drink, or, village chief, you organize them to be Han Anniversary."
Liu He spoke very badly, war is not a matter of one person, nor is it a soldier's business, but a matter of the whole people, this is all fenced off, these villagers still think about a good day, it is really a joke, because the houses are demolished, Liu He arranged for some of his subordinates to have some time to help the villagers dig holes in the dirt mountain after the trench layout is completed, that is, dig holes similar to caves to live temporarily.
…………
"Report to the captain, the devil is already more than two miles away from us, and it is surrounded on all sides." "Okay, tell me to go down, go into the trenches, prepare false targets, and get ready for battle."
"This, this is a trench." Whether it was the battalion commander, the instructor, or the militia company commander who came to the trench was immediately stunned, when digging the trench, Liu He did not let these people come forward, and these people did not want to go forward, after all, it was a mortal situation to see what's the use, since they decided to defend in place, these people's hearts sank completely, no matter how you look at it, they can't live, it's better not to look at it.
As a result, they found that they were wrong, completely wrong, this trench can still be built like this, this is a trench that completely surrounds the village, and it is built at the highest point of the mountain, the trench is not deep, only one and a half meters deep, in front of the trench is a line of defense composed of grass curtains and soil, and every few tens of meters there will be a trench with a cover on it, which is also the reason for the demolition of houses in the village, and even a lot of trees in the vicinity have been cut down, one of these trees can be used, and the other can also broaden the battlefield vision, It can be said that there is not a single obstacle within 500 meters outside the trenches.
The covers on the trenches are neatly lined up with wood, and then the curtains and mud are used to enclose the edges, and the middle is filled with mud, which constitutes a protective layer more than one meter thick, and in the trenches without a cover are some humanoid objects tied with grass handles, which are placed on top of the trenches, as if someone is lying there, and even some black sticks are prepared, and the grass is tied around the sticks, like a rifle that is good for counterfeiting.
The shooting holes are very small holes left between the grass curtain and the soil, so that unless it happens, there will be no bullets coming in, and naturally Liu He is not prepared for a single casualty, but he is prepared to minimize the casualties, you must know that they have enough ammunition now, which can fight a good defensive battle.
Liu He's layout of this line of defense does not have a line of two lines, but directly on a trench, around the village for a week, his team members are very evenly placed in the trench, you must know that this is the main force of the battle, this trench Liu He calculated, if there is no devil's heavy artillery directly bombarded on it, there is no danger at all, or the devil can directly hit the front protective layer of the trench, maybe it will have an impact on the trench, but it is difficult for the personnel to be injured, and even the more than 100 sacks are also loaded with soil and put aside, It is waiting for people to enter the covered trench to block both sides of the trench, so that if a cannonball falls on both sides, it will be blocked by sandbags first.
"Gao, Captain Liu, but I have a question, that is, if we are attacked by the devils, won't we just let the devils block it inside, this is not to be caught alive, and besides, how can we throw this grenade out."
"Throw grenades, what are so many bullets for, you still need grenades, okay, Battalion Commander Zhang, you can see."
"Report to the captain, the devils in the distance have begun to set up mortars, please instruct." "Okay, you guys, shoot me, hit if you can, and scare them if you don't hit."
With such a fortification, there is naturally no command position, and it can only rely on transmission to convey orders, and even after the war, it depends on the soldiers themselves, and there is nothing special about Liu He's location, just a heavy machine gun is erected here, and naturally the devil will not suspect that a heavy machine gun will be controlled by a commander.
......Immediately, gunfire rang out from the position, and the unified target was the commander of the artillery 500 meters away, and even some range-measuring devils, under the premise that dozens of guns were aimed at one devil, it was impossible to say that he was still alive.
"Hit, you guys hit the devil so far away." There was a sound of surprise on the battlefield, which were all shouted by those soldiers and militiamen, but Liu He's team members were not shocked by honor and disgrace, and were shooting in an orderly manner, which was already used to it, although they had never hit such a far target, but they had also been trained, especially the theoretical range of this 38 rifle was very long.
"Boom, boom." The devil's shell was also discharged, but without ranging and command, the shell was not so accurate, and occasionally a shell would land in the trench and most of them would not know where to hit.
"Keep shooting, I'm going to leave the devil with no artillery available." Liu He then gave another order, he wanted to make the devil's cannon an ornament, and only in this way would this battle be easier.
