Taking advantage of these days, when Shang Wen was busy cleaning up all the dead Japanese corpses in the Hushan position, Duan Qirui took advantage of this time to personally inspect the position on the defense line of Jiulian City as much as possible.

As an upcoming trench battle, the trenches of Jiulian City needed a large number of fortresses, but these fortresses were all poured with cement, and it took a while to solidify, so Duan Qirui spent a lot of effort on this.

Just when Duan Qirui was worried about the lack of the number of this fortress, Duan Qirui, who was on the position, saw the soil that was constantly piling up on it because of the need to widen the trenches, and suddenly had a new idea.

The dirt that had been left over from the widening of the trenches was put together and then packed in bags, and then the bags were stacked on top of the position, leaving only a hole in the middle for the Heavy to fire.

In this way, a simple fortress appeared, which could not defend against artillery attacks, but it had a good defense against oncoming bullets.

After Duan Qirui came up with this method, he immediately began to implement it.

In just one night, there were many more of these extremely strange forts on the positions defending the Nine Companies, and all the heavy machine guns were arranged in this kind of forts.

In order to ensure the firepower factor, there are also two light machine guns on both sides of this kind of fortress, and after the defense line of Jiulian City has been strengthened like this, although Duan Qirui does not dare to say that the defense line is impregnable, but it can still be done by making the Japanese pay great casualties.

In the command headquarters, Wu Peifu, who was the commander-in-chief of artillery at the moment, was discussing something in Duan Qirui.

"Lord Commander, I have a different opinion on the artillery deployment department of Jiulian City."

"Oh? What opinion just say it. After Duan Qirui listened to Wu Peifu's words, he immediately motioned to Wu Peifu to say something.

"Back to the system, although it is said that it is very helpful for the gunner to observe the field of vision of the mortar on the city wall, but have you ever thought that in this way, the mortar suddenly became a target, so the department thought that the mortar should be arranged behind the city wall.

The Japanese did not know the details of this weapon, and thought that the artillery was fired from inside the city, but in fact it was fired from behind the city wall, so that we had a certain advantage in the artillery attack. ”

Wu Peifu's words fell into Duan Qirui's ears, and Duan Qirui immediately understood what it meant, Duan Qirui himself was originally an artilleryman, and he was naturally greatly admired for the weapon of mortar, as long as he had a wide field of vision, the mortar was enough to become a big murderous aura on the battlefield.

Therefore, Duan Qirui decided to put the mortar on the city wall, but now after Wu Peifu reminded him, he immediately reacted, although putting the mortar on the city wall has all kinds of benefits, but it will also let the Japanese figure out the details of some mortars.

Rather than this, mortars were placed behind the city walls, creating a sense of mystery that made the Japanese think that they had placed a large number of artillery pieces in the city.

In fact, it is only because the mortar is extremely fast.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Japanese do not know the characteristics of the mortar weapon and come up with a special method of bullying the Japanese, anyway, the large-scale attack of the mortar baptism only the three Japanese wings that attacked Hushan, and these three wings were completely annihilated, so naturally the Japanese army did not know about the mortar.

Even the Germans and Americans, who currently have mortar technology, will only secretly keep the mortar and use it as a killing weapon, and naturally will not reveal it to the Japanese, who have signed the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

In the past few days, Lijian Shangwen has been under pressure from the country, and nearly a brigade of troops has been completely wiped out by Qing soldiers, such a record is unbearable for the Japanese.

After collecting the bodies of the soldiers who died in Hushan, Immediately saw that Shangwen had no choice but to bury them on the spot, and for the attack on Jiulian City, because the military strength of a brigade was completely annihilated, the Japanese army finally began to face up to the Chinese defenders who were confronting them.

The Japanese are like this, when you beat him to make him know what awe is, if you don't hurt him to make him realize that you are strong, the Japanese will think that you are inferior to him, and they will bite you hard when the time comes.

Now that he was so hurt, Rimi Shangwen finally knew that he had to treat the defenders of Jiulian City as an opponent, so these days Rimi Shangwen has been actively preparing to fight against the defenders of Jiulian City.

First of all, in view of the complexity of the position of Jiulian City, Lijian Shangwen increased the supply of artillery shells in the rear, and used artillery to occupy a certain advantage, and Lijian Shangwen also urgently transferred a batch of "body armor" to equip the soldiers who rushed to the front.

The so-called "body armor" in this year is a thick iron armor, and soldiers can only move slowly after entering it, but the bulletproof performance of this large iron armor is not blown out.

During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army invested this kind of iron armor, and made a certain contribution in breaking into the trenches of the Russian army.

And what Lijian Shangwen needs is this long-distance defense bullet, and when he gets to the close range, this big iron armor will have no effect because it is extremely bulky, and when the time comes, he only needs to let his sword drawing team follow behind the big iron armor to reach the position of Jiulian City.

Then all you need to do is let the sword draw team engage in white-knuckle combat to drag the soldiers in the trenches, and the fighters behind will be able to follow to take the enemy's position.

As for whether the sword drawing team can be dragged and whether it can get close to the position, Limi Shangwen did not think about it, in the eyes of Limi Shangwen, there is nothing that the sword drawing team can't do with one charge, if there is, then charge twice.

Lijian Shangwen, who has a sword drawing team, is so confident and willful.

After seeing Shangwen settle down on the battle plan, he began to attack the position of Jiulian City, of course, not really attacking, but to test the defense line of Jiulian City to see where there was an opportunity to capture.

As everyone knows, the Japanese army in Hushan was annihilated because of this because of a wrong information, and the order of Shangwen on the test of firepower was quickly issued.

After receiving the order, the Japanese reacted quickly and immediately sent a wing of troops to start attacking the position of Jiuliancheng, and the defense line of Jiuliancheng was also ready to defend after seeing the movements of the Japanese army. (To be continued.) )
