As soon as Lin Fei's artillery withdrew, the observers of the Spanish field artillery positions discovered that when conducting long-distance reconnaissance, moving targets were the easiest to detect, and no matter how powerful the camouflage was, it would not be effective at this time.

The observer immediately reported the news of Lin Fei's artillery withdrawal to François, who shook his head again and again after hearing this, and sighed: "Their retreat speed is too fast." ”

François sighed with emotion, and then felt a sense of relief and loss, relieved that he no longer had to suffer from Lin Fei's artillery, and that the artillery in the infantry position could not fight back.

François, with mixed feelings, asked his subordinates to count the battle damage, the artillery damage is relatively easy to count, but the casualties are more difficult to count, because many of the artillerymen have fled, and some people have been blown up by the blasting grenade, like François's staff officer, so the battle damage statistics work is relatively slow.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon of June 14, the battle damage was finally counted, and when François saw the report, he was so distressed that he almost fainted, and the report was impressively written that our army had damaged a total of 20 field artillery, accounting for 100 percent of the total number of field artillery, and 10 of them were completely blown up, and the body tube was either separated from the gun body, or it was directly blown up, and there was no possibility of repair.

The remaining 10 field guns were all damaged in their high and low planes and steering gears, as well as in their sights, and two of them had cracks in the connection between the barrels and the barrels, and the barrels could break away from the barrels when the guns were fired. The barrels of the four field guns were cracked, and the bore may be blown up when the guns are fired; The medicine chamber and bolt of the remaining four field guns were damaged, and the propellant gas may leak out when the guns are fired, and the hot gas will burn the artillerymen.

In terms of personnel, according to incomplete statistics, 56 people were killed, 145 were wounded, and another 187 people were missing.

After reading this report, François couldn't help but sigh and said: "Send this report to Governor Sanders, and tell him that our field artillery unit has been completely destroyed." ”

A staff officer took the report gloomily, and just then, an officer hurried up to François and said, "Commander, Governor Sanders is here." ”

"What did you say?" François was so surprised that he stood up directly from his chair, forgetting even the pain in his legs, and at this moment, he saw a large group of people surrounded by a fat-headed and big-eared guy walking over, François recognized at a glance, the fat-headed and big-eared guy was the governor of Sanders...

François hurriedly stepped forward and exclaimed, "Lord Saunders, why are you here in person?" ”

Governor Sanders said with a blank face: "I heard that there was a fierce artillery battle here, so I wanted to come and see, when I came, I saw that many of the artillery on our position were blown up, did we lose this battle again?" ”

François was ashamed to say the word "defeat", sighed lightly, and did not speak, Governor Sanders laughed loudly and said: "It doesn't matter, defeat is only temporary, and the final victory must be ours..."

When François saw that Governor Sanders was so confident, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Governor Sanders with suspicion, and the sophisticated Governor Sanders saw Francois's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "Our defense line is very strong, and it is impossible for the Chinese pigs to break through, dear Monsieur François, have you not seen our barbed wire, fortresses and trenches?" ”

François nodded and said, "The strongest barrier on our line is the fortress, but the power of the enemy's shells is very great, and I suspect that our fortress may not be able to hold it." ”

Governor Sanders smiled and said, "Dear Monsieur François, what do you think I am here for?" ”

François was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you already say that?" You've heard that there's been a fierce artillery battle here, so let's take a look. ”

Governor Sanders smirked and said, "One of the purposes of my visit this time is to take a look at the situation of the field artillery positions, and the other purpose is to make sure that the Chinese pigs' artillery will not be able to damage our fortress in the slightest..."

A look of doubt flashed in François's eyes and he asked, "Do you have such a solution?" ”

Governor Sanders smiled confidently: "Our military engineers are from Madrid, and have studied in German and French military academies, of course they will have a way, okay, no more to say, I am going to deploy this method." ”

François was surprised and wanted to ask again, but Governor Sanders was gone, and he was wounded in the leg and unable to move too much to pursue.

When Governor Sanders was deploying a new method in his own position, Zhao Menggang and Xu Deping had already returned to their camp and reported to Lin Fei the course and results of the battle.

Lin Fei pondered for a while after listening to the report, and then said: "The enemy's field artillery did not return fire, and it was the mountain artillery on the enemy's infantry position that came out to return fire, which shows that the enemy's field artillery has lost its combat effectiveness, and your operation this time is very successful." ”

Zhao Menggang and Xu Deping were overjoyed, and Lin Fei continued: "You two don't go back to rest first, I want to deploy the next stage of the battle plan, and you must also participate." Lin Fei turned his head to look at Li Tianqian when he said this, and ordered: "Staff Officer Li, go and find the army regimental level and above officers for a meeting." ”

According to Lin Fei's request, Li Tianqian brought the officers in charge, and soon the officers gathered together, Lin Fei first said: "First of all, I will report the results of the artillery battle just now, our howitzer regiment has won a complete victory, the enemy's field artillery unit has lost its combat effectiveness, and there is no longer a threat to our army, and now we can carry out the next stage of the operation, that is, to overcome the enemy's ground defense line." ”

Lin Fei gave Li Tianqian a look when he said this, Li Tianqian hung a map on the wall, Lin Fei pointed to the map and said: "Now our army's battalion is about 5,000 meters away from the enemy's defense line, of course it is impossible for our army to launch an attack from such a distance, so the core part of the next stage of the operation is to build an attack position on the enemy's front line." ”

"The enemy is equipped with Makqin heavy machine guns, and they are deployed at a height of three or four meters, which can pose a threat to personnel within 1,500 meters, so our army should build an attack launch position at a distance of 2,000 meters from the enemy, and after building an attack launch position, dig trenches, dig to about 400 meters away from the enemy, and then build an infantry charge position at 400 meters."

"At the same time that our army is building a 2,000-meter attack launch position, it is also necessary to build an artillery firing position in the position, and the field of vision of the artillery firing position must be wide, so that the artillery can provide fire support for the attacking troops.

What Lin Fei said is the classic trench attack tactics of this era, this era does not have vehicles that can move at high speed, have strong firepower and armor, so they can only use infantry to attack enemy trenches, and infantry is easy to be killed, so when attacking, we must try our best to shorten the time of exposure to enemy firepower, which requires infantry to dig a large number of trenches, and trench warfare has become the mainstream of this era.

Lin Fei took a sip of water, and then said: "I calculated the amount of earthwork that needs to be excavated, and found that the number is still quite amazing, if it is completely excavated by our soldiers, they will be very tired, and the soldiers also need to guard against enemy attacks, and they can't dig with all their strength, so the logistics troops have to recruit a large number of migrant workers in nearby villages and towns, understand?" ”

The officer of the logistics unit replied loudly, "Understood", Lin Fei thought for a while and said, "Okay, that's all I have to say, let's hurry up and act." ”

The officers dispersed and began to move, Lin Fei walked out of the command headquarters, looked at the direction of the Spanish position, and secretly thought in his heart: "Our army will soon run into the enemy's fortress, and it is time for the cloud burst bomb to show its skills." ”

Lin Fei's troops were digging trenches for the next few days, and on June 18, 2,000 meters away from the enemy's position, the construction of the attack launch position was completed, and Lin Fei led the command headquarters to station in the field command post, which was a deep pit dug underground, and a roof was built with wooden planks on the pit, and a camouflage net was laid on the roof, which could not be seen from a distance.

The command post was built by the engineer regiment, and they also laid cement on the ground, and if it was not laid with cement, the groundwater would gush out, turning the command post into a large puddle. The Engineer Regiment also built artillery positions, and artillery units were also stationed, where the terrain was relatively high, and the artillery could directly see the enemy fortress.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on June 19th, Lin Fei was writing "generator cooling technology scheme" in the notebook, if you want to create a generator with relatively large power generation, the cooling technology must be passed, so to speak, the development history of the generator is the history of the development of cooling technology.

Lin Fei is no stranger to various cooling technologies, because cooling technology runs through the entire modern weapons industry, and almost every weapon and equipment is inseparable from cooling technology, for example, high-power radars need to be cooled, gas turbines of large warships need to be cooled, and so on.

Lin Fei recalled the cooling technology of this era, and slowly wrote the cooling plan of his generator in his notebook, at this moment, Zhang Chuang suddenly ran in and said to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, there is a situation..."

Lin Fei put down the pen and notebook, looked up at Zhang Chuang, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Zhang Chuang replied: "When we reconnoitred the situation of the enemy army, we found that the enemy army had made improvements to their fortress..."

Lin Fei frowned and asked, "What kind of improvements have they made?" ”

Zhang Chuang hesitated for a while and said, "I can't describe the way to enter, please go to the front line with me." ”

Lin Fei thought to himself, this place is not far from the front line, and it is very fast to go and see, so he readily agreed, followed Zhang Chuang out of the command room, and went to the reconnaissance position on the front line.
