Chapter 110: Terraced Tactics
The sound of the explosion pierced the silence of the night, the dazzling fire burned the last afterglow of the cooking squad leader, and the squad leader who was dragged into the death by the explosives bag fell into the depths of the Wujiang River, perhaps the squad leader was not happy, because he did not complete the mission, and only blew up an iron warship, but this kind of repentance can only be deeply submerged into the river water that will not sympathize.

The remaining more than 200 soldiers of the independent regiment sent away the embers of the explosion with affectionate eyes, and the leader of the cooking squad wanted to eat a meal of boiled cabbage in boiling water that you boiled, and at this time the soldiers really felt the affection of those meals.
Muto, who was drinking heavy wine, was flushed, and the sudden explosion made his ears extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't have to think about it, he was sure that something had happened at the dock, and the white porcelain cup that had finished drinking was crushed, and the fragments were inserted into the palm, and blood droplets fell to the ground.
"General, one of the warships has been blown up, and all the soldiers who attacked have been annihilated," a devil with a cannon fodder face rushed in and reported.
Muto's solemn face slowly peeled off a strange smile, his palm was released, and he pulled out the pieces that had fallen into it one by one, and said, "Go down!" ”
The soldier retreated, Muto drenched the wound with wine, wrapped it in a white cloth, and raised his glass as if nothing had happened, "Come and drink, you must drink it tonight."
As soon as he took a sip of it, he chirped the wine remaining on his lips, and his face became serious again, so that Higashino Koji didn't dare to put the wine glass to his mouth.
"Originally, I wanted to give this Wu Guoqiang a chance, why did I do these senseless struggles? Kameda-kun, tell me about it? ”
Of course, Kameda understood what Muto meant by this? After all, after so many years of cooperation.
"Yes, general, I will go down immediately, and cross the river at dawn tomorrow!" Kameda put away his drunkenness, stood up and gave a military salute and walked out.
"Come on, come on, Higashino-kun, let's continue drinking" Muto's voice made Higashino Koji tremble, but when he looked back, it was not his job to fight, he was just an engineer sent from above, since he was sent from above, what was he afraid of? Immediately, the change was a lot more natural, and he drank with Muto.
…………
The independent regiment in the south does not have such good taste, nor does it have good wine and meat, if human flesh can be eaten, I am afraid that the corpse of the devil would have been eaten clean by this group of angry wolves.
Wu Guoqiang knew very well in his heart that the final battle, which had dragged on for so long, was finally coming, so he held a tactical discussion meeting overnight and made full arrangements and preparations while taking advantage of the thick night.
After encouraging discussions, in order to give full play to the remaining forces, Wu Guoqiang and Hu Xiujiang finally came up with a tactic of "terraced tactics."
This tactic has never appeared in the history of warfare, and it is also deployed due to the strong pressure of the devils and the few troops left of them.
To put it simply, it is to take advantage of the terrain in the south of the city, dig trenches along the slope, the more the better, like the terraced fields distributed on the hillside, each trench runs horizontally through a hundred meters, and each trench arranges a squad of troops until all the troops are arranged.
The firepower points between the trenches and the trenches are staggered with each other, which can not only ensure dense firepower, but also minimize losses, even if the devil captures a trench, the next are trenches, all of which are nearly one and a half deep pits, and the devils charge too hard, and they may not be shot across a trench.
The first row of trenches is equipped with the most grenades, don't be stingy, you can not shoot, you must throw the grenades away, and there are two hundred guns behind to cover, so the firing points of the first row must play the maximum role.
Starting from the second platoon, each two platoons are equipped with one machine gun to make up for the lack of fire points in the lost trenches, of course, three cannons are sandwiched on the hillside, one on the left, one on the right and one on the right, looking down on the charging devils like three monsters, and the artillery adjusts the height and firing distance at any time so as not to accidentally injure their own people.
Counting a total of nearly fifteen trenches, the "terrace tactic" seems to be effective, and it is useless to question the huge lethality of the devils, but the biggest drawback of the whole tactic is that the soldiers basically have no way to retreat, and they will definitely die, and to put it bluntly, it is a suicidal fight.
Wu Guoqiang couldn't manage so much, he firmly believed that the soldiers he led wanted to fight a glorious battle at the end, so that this trench would become his grave, and he would not end up with corpses.
The soldiers listened to Wu Guoqiang's tactics and responded with one word: "Dry!" ”
"Arrange it, start construction overnight, and it must be completed at dawn tomorrow, Brother Changsheng, you will take the second stupid brother and County Magistrate Hu at the end!" If our independent regiment can't stop it, you should withdraw quickly, Zhang Guofang, the head of the Wulong 137th Regiment, is my classmate, and he will arrange for you. ”
Liao Changsheng listened to Wu Guoqiang's words, in addition to being a little moved, he evoked other meanings in his heart, did he mean to look down on himself when he did this?
"Captain Wu, in fact, I ......"
When the words came to his mouth, he was stopped by Hu Xiujiang, Hu Xiujiang shook his head repeatedly, he knew Wu Guoqiang's thoughts very well, after all, our group of people were not soldiers brought out by Wu Guoqiang himself, so he couldn't feel guilty.
After listening to the deployment, the soldiers immediately rushed to the scene, and kept digging with shovels and hoes, no, sticks, branches, and stones, as long as they could lift the soil, the soldiers burst out with amazing strength and did not have the slightest intention of exertion.
The good news is that the soil in the south of the city is fertile black soil, and it can be planed up without using reckless strength, just changed the shovel to a person to dig, took a breath and planed it up with his hands, the cold wind by the river was blowing, and the soldiers were all hot, and there was no sense of cold.
After digging the trenches, there were still three hours left at five o'clock in the morning, and after the brothers brought in the ammunition and equipment, they took a break, rested, and recovered their strength.
Wu Guoqiang couldn't sleep all night, staring at the second hand of his pocket watch, and the ticking sound just coincided with his heartbeat.
At six o'clock, seven o'clock, half past seven, seven fifty-nine o'clock, the dark night dispersed, the gray sky ushered in a little light, there was no warm sun shining on the soldiers, the soldiers woke up, they could not think about everything and stretch their waists, opened their mouths wide and yawned.
Muto arrived at the dock early, and the sight in the binoculars made him have to marvel, the independent regiment spent a night digging up such a huge project, but this did not affect his desire for victory, this useless resistance in front of his own cannon warship was only a fleeting cloud, and it was destroyed in an instant.
"Kameda, command the river crossing!"
"Yes, Your Excellency"
The flag in Kameda's hand commanded the fleet, and two iron warships shuttled back and forth to the left and right, attracting firepower, followed by ten wooden ships full of devils.
The propeller of the iron warship rotated at high speed, stirring the smooth river to the south bank, and an additional machine gun was added to the front of the warship, and with the roar of the machine gun, Kameda issued the order to cross the river
"Kill and change, step on the south of the city!"
