Chapter 208: Inspecting the Frontline
After sending away the reluctant Pu Kedi, Wang Bin sighed in his heart, No matter what, there are still good people at this time, there are still good people at this time, there are people who come to deliver arms just after the war, it would be nice if there were more people like Pu Kedi.
At this moment, Wang Bin was thinking about the words in his heart, completely forgetting the previous proposal of Pu Kodi to garrison troops on the edge of the battlefield.
As for the quality and quantity of the arms that the Russians are about to send, Wang Bin still believes in the Russians, and if he asks why, Wang Bin thinks that the Russians will not fool themselves about this trivial matter.
Besides, this time it was Alexei, who was responsible for supplying himself with arms before, who had fought with the Japanese before, but in the end he relied on his large numbers to make a draw with the Japanese? Nikolaevich? Kuropatkin, the current commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Far East.
Kuropatkin was beaten by the Japanese before and could only blindly defend, this time he can find the Japanese in secret, Wang Bin believes that there will not be too much problem in arms.
After everything was ready, Wang Bin officially set off from Fengtian to the forefront of the war against Japan: Jiulian City.
As soon as he arrived in Jiulian City, Wang Bin summoned Ma Longbiao, Duan Qirui and Xu Dajun to inquire about the current deployment situation.
After Xu Dajun and the others arrived, the current deployment situation was also shown on the map.
"At present, the staff department and others take Jiulian City as their general base, stretch their left flank to Hushan and Changdian City, and Zhang Qi's right flank to Andong County, and arrange troops in the direction of both flanks to deal with the garrison of Jiulian City, in addition to this, our army has also built some defensive lines along the Yalu River, and stationed troops in the place where the Japanese army is most likely to cross the river."
Duan Qirui first gave Wang Bin a general arrangement, and then continued.
In addition, the Ministry also believes that a section of the river from the vicinity of Shuikou Town to the Anping River Estuary is an excellent place to wade, and the Anping River Estuary and Shuikou Town "are slightly opposite each other, and the river is quite scattered so far, the water is gradually shallow, the flow is gradually slow, and it is convenient for hiking everywhere."
From this place to the upper reaches, there are many cliffs on both sides, the blue stream is like an arrow, the turbulent sound is like thunder, it is impossible to pass the boat raft, from Yiju to the sea, in the meantime, the soil on both sides of the bank is silt, the Xuanjia is lush, it is difficult to march. ”
"After combining these, the headquarters decided that the Anping estuary was the most likely place for the Japanese to cross the river, so the headquarters arranged a target infantry, two mortar teams and dozens of Krupp field guns here."
Duan Qirui's words are all right, even Wang Bin, a person who has little contact with war, can see that Duan Qirui has worked hard in this regard.
Not to mention anything else, the layout of this line of defense was explained to Wang Bin by Duan Qirui on the map, Wang Bin had completely understood Duan Qirui's layout, and what Duan Qirui had to do was to give the Japanese army a strong blow when the Japanese army crossed the river, which can be seen in the deployment along the river.
The Japanese army is very likely to cross the river, all the military forces arranged, it can be said that the Japanese army crossed the river caused great trouble, and the defense line arranged on the left and right flanks of Jiulian City can greatly contain the Japanese troops, so that Jiulian City will not be in danger at the beginning of the war.
After reading the defense map, Wang Bin asked again how the current position is constructed, since the construction of the position was mentioned, Wang Bin naturally proposed to go outside the city to see the structure of the position, otherwise he would not be able to see the specific appearance of the position just by listening to it here.
Wang Bin's proposal was rejected as soon as it was proposed, and Duan Qirui even said: Although there is no war yet, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no spies to assassinate adults, and it is better for adults not to show their faces.
Duan Qirui's words were extremely reasonable, but under Wang Bin's forced request, the accompanying officers demanded that Wang Bin must bring a hundred guards.
So there was such a spectacle on the current position, and a hundred guards protected Wang Bin in the form of meat shields from all directions to inspect the position.
After coming to the top of the position, Wang Bin saw these soldiers who were constantly digging trenches, as well as soldiers pouring the fortress not far away, the whole position looked crooked, but Wang Bin still saw some doorways from the position.
Although the position is zigzag, it is criss-crossed, and they can support each other well, even if the enemy breaks in from a certain point, it will be quickly beaten out by soldiers who support from all directions.
When looking at the position, Wang Bin suddenly found that there were still some things that he had not taken into account in this position, such as when he was suddenly hit by enemy artillery fire, the soldiers fighting on the position did not have anything to cover, and in case the Japanese shells fell, these soldiers would also lie down in the trench and be beaten.
At this time, Wang Bin thought of the cat's ear hole, which can well resist the enemy's artillery attack, and the only drawback is that the environment of the cat's ear hole will become very bad after a long time.
However, this time Wang Bin proposed it only to resist artillery fire, not to let the soldiers live in it all day long, so Wang Bin told Duan Qirui and others that a cave could be dug next to the trench for the soldiers to hide, not too big, and five or six soldiers could hide.
In this way, when the Japanese shells hit, they dodged into the hole, as long as it was not that kind of luck to carry the sky, basically the Japanese artillery attack was useless, and after the Japanese attacked, the soldiers came out of the cat's ear hole.
Wang Bin's proposal suddenly made the eyes of the officers on the side light up, and they suddenly thought in their hearts: Adults are not losers, no wonder they can be our superiors, originally we thought that this position had been built well, but I didn't expect the adults to just come over and take a few looks, and then pointed out the shortcomings.
Among these officers, especially Duan Qirui and other military commanders, they saw the importance of this cat's ear piercing, so that their side did not need to worry about the casualties caused by the Japanese artillery fire on their side.
Duan Qirui immediately asked the soldiers in charge of digging the trenches to continue digging out the cat's ear hole according to Wang Bin's plan.
After inspecting the army, when he returned to the headquarters, Ma Zikai also happened to collect some information about the supreme commander of the Japanese army this time, and Wang Bin immediately laughed proudly in his heart after seeing the name of this commander.
This time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army is a general named Lijian Shangwen, Duan Qirui and others don't know about this person, but Wang Bin understands, let Lijian Shangwen command this war, isn't it nakedly giving away victory! (To be continued.) )
