At 4 p.m. on September 27, 1937, the 2nd Regiment of the 32nd Infantry Division took over the defense of Zhang Gufeng. After the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info took over the defense, the Soviet officers and men built field fortifications at the same time, and strengthened the divisional engineer battalion of the regiment and began to build semi-permanent fortifications on the mountain peaks.

Ivanov's engineer platoon had not been evacuated with the rest of the 59th Border Guard, and it was now up to them to clear the minefield they had built up in the morning - using the first trench as a benchmark to remove all explosives within 80 metres, and to advance the new minefield 100 metres forward in coordination with the engineer units of the 2nd Infantry Regiment.

The newly arrived Soviet troops were fully manned and in high spirits, and behind them there was a steady stream of convoys transporting logistical supplies on the roads from Poshet to Novokievskoye (now Kraskino) and Novokievskoye-Khansi-Greche. On the other side, the 40th Infantry Division left only one reinforced battalion on Shacao Peak, and the other units and the 2nd Regiment of the 32nd Division began to build positions on the line between Zhanggu Peak and Shacao Peak, according to the terrain conditions.

The Soviet position was no longer the dense trenches of the First World War, but the construction of a defensive line covered by cross-fire on the basis of multiple fortified areas - this was determined by the latest tactical concept, because the tactics of the Soviet army were no longer the old-fashioned trench-based positional warfare, but fought on the basis of armored assault forces. Of course, this can't be compared with the three-dimensional advancement of the large-scale mechanized corps in later generations, if you let Lin Jun say it: it can only be regarded as a defensive counterattack.

The defense line of more than three kilometers, if it is defended in a line with a full division and an infantry regiment, the strength is of course sufficient, and it can even be said that the density is extremely high, but the current defensive posture is more effective and more aggressive.

In a wooded area between the two peaks, near the side of Zhanggu Peak, there were thirty-nine BT-5 and T-26M1933 tanks of the armored battalion of the 40th Infantry Division. Next to these tanks, nine BA-6 heavy armored vehicles were quietly parked - these armored assault forces would be a powerful iron fist of the Soviet army.

In order to completely destroy the assault forces of the Japanese army (that is, to make it impossible for the Japanese army to organize a decent offensive in a few days. The group returning to Vladivostok in the afternoon of the same day made another sortie, with a total of 30 bombers and 18 fighters bombing Japanese targets in the Hongyi-ri area again before nightfall.

At 10 o'clock on the morning of the 28th, Lin Jun, accompanied by Colonel Belzarin, commander of the 32nd Infantry Division, ascended to Zhanggu Peak. He flew to Ussuriysk last night with Antonov and the commander of the 40th Division, Division Commander Bazarov. After inspecting the local air force units that day, he went to the front before dawn today with Colonel Berzarin, who had rushed to Ussuriysk, and Colonel Bazarov, who had gone to command the troops under Novokievskoye.

Marshal Blyucher in Khabarovsk and Commander of the Aviation Forces Antonov could not do anything about Lin Jun's decision to inspect the front line, so he could only do what he wanted.

"I won't fight bayonets, what better place in the world than with tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers?! Besides, I just want to see what those little Japan looks like, and I'll go back to Ussuriysk in the afternoon. For Antonov's well-intentioned dissuasion, Lin Jun replied like this.

He really wanted to see the appearance of those Japanese soldiers who were killed -- he had only "said hello" in the Air Force before, but he didn't see it clearly. If you stay in Ussuriysk, the most you can do is to help Antonov come up with ideas, and Antonov has very high command skills, and he may do a better job without his own dictatorship.

Lin Jun, who inspected the front line, was a little different from usual, he did not wear his unique 1937-style high-end military uniform, but borrowed a uniform from a confidential staff officer who was about the same size as himself, and did not even change the rank of major on the uniform. He didn't bring a red banner saber, and the medals were all left on the uniform in the closet of the Ussuriysk room, and the armed belt was pinned with a Tokalov pistol - no matter how you look at it, he was an ordinary Soviet major officer.

When Lin Jun appeared in front of the two division commanders this morning, the two colonels were a little stunned.

"I'm just going to the position to take a look, it's not good if the snipers on the opposite side take aim at it, it is said that those little Japanese have first-class skills in shooting cold guns." Lin Jun said casually.

Berzarin and Bazarov would not have made any constructive suggestions about Lin Jun's move to wear the uniform of a major, and of course, if someone else changed to the uniform of a junior officer because they were afraid of the enemy's cold guns, no one would have reported it to the higher-ups. But who is this Andrey ?! -- His safety came first, and he was also up to him in the uniform of a Red Army soldier (this "warrior" is a concept of military rank).

It was only then did the two division commanders think that Comrade Andrei should really appear on the position as usual, and that there were Japanese observation posts or snipers hidden in the bushes in front of him -- if he were Japanese, if such a conspicuous target appeared within the effective range of his rifle, he would have to destroy this target no matter how dangerous it was.

Lin Jun's entourage will not have any opinion about the chief's dress, they know very well how brave and important Comrade Andrei is. Besides, Lin Jun once said to them: "Never salute me in an area where the situation between the enemy and us is complicated, I don't want to be shot in a daze." ”

At that time, the Japanese army did not attach much importance to sniper operations, and the US military made the Japanese snipers on the small island in the Pacific Ocean tremble because: the Japanese army was beaten by the snipers of the Chinese army on the Chinese battlefield (at that time, the main forces of the Central Army had specially trained sniper detachments, equipped with German-made sniper weapons, and even the instructors were Germans. And the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, as well as the miscellaneous army in the eyes of those veterans, although they do not have sniper rifles, they have countless sharpshooters, and they also advocate the fighting style of cold guns and cold guns, which makes the Japanese devils suffer a lot. In addition, snipers and sharpshooters are by no means the same concept, so although the Japanese army has always emphasized accurate shooting, their real sniper teachers are our Chinese snipers. ）

The first line of Zhanggu Peak and Shacao Peak is a combination of shrubs and woods, which is a paradise for sniper operations. Lin Jun knew that the Japanese army at that time was not used to this kind of special warfare method, but he understood: for political reasons, the Soviet patrols had only reached a kilometer in front of the two positions, and generally only patrolled 500 meters forward. A German sniper killed an Italian general at a distance of one kilometer during World War I, and Matthias Heitenor, the German ace of the first sniper in World War II, killed an enemy sentry 1,300 meters away while betting with his comrades. Of course, these snipers use professional sniper rifles, but Lin Jun also has to prevent the Japanese observation post from touching within a kilometer of his position, and there is no guarantee that there is no Zhang Taofang among the Japanese devils (the special hero of the Volunteer Army, the second-class hero, and the highest record creator for our army's cold gun killing on the Korean front, once killed a single US soldier target running in a Z-shape at a distance of 800 meters, and his weapon was an ordinary Mosin-Nagan M1944-style rifle. The same characters.

If you don't want to be a conspicuous target, the best way is to change your clothes - you have to change your clothes, or you have to change your clothes, or you have to take off all your medals, because now all your uniforms are unique 1937 style senior officer uniforms, and they are the most conspicuous targets wherever they are placed.

、、、、、、

Zhang Gufeng was a little higher than he expected, and although it had been potholed by shells in the exchange of fire between the two sides some time ago, there were still a lot of pine trees and a small number of birches, rather than the bare hilltop position that generally feels like.

Lin Jun saw many soldiers digging anti-artillery holes on the side of the hill near the Soviet Union and in the back half of the position, "Comrade Berzarin, this time we can't go all the way through, this fortification against artillery bombardment must be completed as soon as possible, or it will not be worth it if we are not hit by small Japanese shells on the top of the mountain." ”

The Japanese army's large-caliber field artillery mounts could hit two high ground in Hongyi, and the Soviet army could not really advance in a large depth, so it could only be prepared for a cold artillery attack by the Japanese army. Of course, the Soviet army controlled the commanding heights, and if the Japanese army dared to shell, the Soviet artillery here was not vegetarian, and the range of the Soviet artillery was generally farther than that of the Japanese army.

"Comrade Andrey, we don't have to worry about shelling in the past two days, the comrades of the aviation have completely destroyed the Japanese artillery positions in Hongyili, and it is estimated that they will not be able to organize and build new artillery positions in two or three days."

After inspecting the position, the officer of the regiment brought a man in the suit of a sapper.

"Comrade Chief, this is Comrade Ivanov, commander of the engineer platoon of the 59th National Border Garrison." Someone to introduce.

Ivanov hurriedly saluted the officers in front of him.

"I've heard of you, it was your mines that blocked the night attack of the Japanese army, and you also participated in the white-knuckle battle and cut down a few small Japan?" Lin Jun already had the taste of a leader when he spoke.

In the group of officers in front of him, the rank of the major who spoke was at most in the middle of the platoon, but Ivanov was also a veteran, and he could see at a glance that this major was the head of this group, and this major who was younger than his own grade looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Yes, Comrade Major. He cut one down, and the rest was divided among the brothers! Ivanov replied loudly.

"No matter how many you cut, the comrades who dare to participate in the white-knuckle battle are all good!" Lin Jun patted Ivanov on the shoulder.
