Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Beginning of the Position
"In modern warfare, we must take into account all possible problems, including our own training level, weapons and equipment level, personnel composition, geographical environment, and even the weather, as long as you consider it comprehensively enough, and make corresponding preparations, then this war will not be too badly defeated, even if it is not won." On a bare mountain peak, Wang Sirui explained loudly while directing the troops to dig trenches.
He had to use the time he had to instill the tactical ideas of later generations into these soldiers.
They don't have enough time to train, so in terms of training level, these people under Wang Sirui can hardly even be called warriors.
But this is also a very helpless thing, not that Wang Sirui doesn't want to, but that he doesn't have time to make him do more.
"My lord, is it because the weather is bad that you can't fight?" The soldier who was busy digging the trench asked with a laugh after hearing Wang Sirui's speech.
They have heard of training, weapons, and geography when fighting a war, but they have also heard of the weather, but it is clear that what Wang Sirui explained is obviously not what they understand.
Wang Sirui smiled and shook his head, "What are we?" It's the army. What is the Army? It is used to protect the family and defend the country. It's like most of you, from joining the army until now, it doesn't take more than two days. But now that we have a mission, can you say that you are recruits, so you don't have to go to war? ”
Wang Sirui paused slightly, and stretched out five fingers: "My definition of the army is only five words, all-weather combat." ”
"What do you mean by all-weather combat? It is very simple and easy to understand, that is, anytime, anywhere, at any time, as long as there is a task issued, we can dispatch as soon as possible, which is all-weather combat.
As for what weapons, training, etc., these are all things that the commander should consider. No matter how bad the situation is, our troops themselves must be ready to fight at any time.
As for geography, as you have seen, although our country is so big, it may not be as easy as we imagined to find the perfect combat terrain in our minds. What should we do if this happens? As a result, as now, if there is no suitable one, then find a place with little gap, and then try to transform it as much as possible. ”
Wang Sirui seemed to be trying to cheer up these recruits, so he didn't keep too many secrets, and then continued to speak: "I can tell you without reservation, when the position under your feet is completely built into the position in my mind, then congratulations, with your current level of training and weaponry, you are fully capable of holding three thousand foreigners to attack at the same time, and they will not be able to rush within fifty meters in front of you." ”
"This position is so powerful?" Many soldiers sighed or questioned.
At least so far, no one has believed that Wang Sirui's words are true, because relying on just one position can play such a big role, and they have not seen this kind of combat power.
"When the fight actually starts, you'll know if it's really good or not." Wang Sirui sold a pass.
The mountain they are currently on is not very high, only more than 100 meters high, and a serious fire has occurred in recent years, which has completely burned the entire summit, and the ground is full of black residue.
The position designed by Wang Sirui has basically been abandoned in later generations, because this tactic has extremely high requirements for the terrain, and at the same time, it also has very strict requirements for its own troops, and Wang Sirui does not have so many troops in his hands, so when he does it, he will definitely feel a little tricky.
But if you don't do that, the position designed by Wang Sirui will become a desperate battle, once you wait for the coalition forces to react, then you can stay there far away and not attack, only need to surround for ten days and half a month, this position will be self-defeating.
Wang Sirui doesn't have enough food in his hands, he doesn't have enough fresh water, and he doesn't have enough ammunition, if he continues to fight like this, no matter who he is, sooner or later he will run out of ammunition and food.
And now, Wang Sirui is betting that foreigners dare not waste so much time to spend so much time with Wang Sirui here, Wang Sirui is gambling, after knowing his news, foreigners will definitely send troops to attack in a big way to avenge the previous sneak attacks.
It's like a gambler who waits for the outcome of the opening market after putting his fate on the plate, everything is full of unknowns.
Of course, Wang Sirui would not tell these soldiers about such a not-so-good result.
The positive slope, the anti-slope, and the third line of defense, these are the three lines of defense prepared by Wang Sirui for the coalition forces, in front of the positive slope position and the rear of the anti-slope position, a large number of barbed wire fences were enclosed, because there were not enough tools and materials, and the barbs were not all installed on the barbed wire, but only one section of it was selectively installed with self-made barbs.
The entire hill was fenced with barbed wire, and at intervals there was a slightly larger opening, where heavy machine guns were heavily deployed.
Barbed wire, a positional warfare tactic that was officially used in World War I, was now pulled out in advance by Wang Sirui.
And as the first to eat crabs, the Eight-Nation Alliance will definitely pay a huge price for their recklessness. Moreover, the three heavy machine guns in Wang Sirui's hands have long been ready, although there are not too many bullets, on average less than 15,000 bullets per heavy machine gun, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it can only be taken one step at a time.
"Wu Company Commander ......" The sky gradually brightened, the distant horizon gradually flushed with a trace of fish belly white, the temperature began to rise in a straight line, and the feeling of hot flashes made people sweat in the morning.
Wang Sirui shouted Wu Zixuan, and whispered something in his ear, only to see Wu Zixuan hesitate at first, his face was a little ugly, but finally nodded.
After that, Wu Zixu left the position with the people of the fourth company, except for Wang Sirui and Wu Zixuan, no one knew what the people of the fourth company were doing?
At the same time, the entire position had been almost built, and Wang Sirui ordered the soldiers to build several simple houses on the top of the mountain, and at the same time ordered people to go to the capital to spread the news that they were here.
