After listening to the opinions and opinions of some generals, Xiao Zhenlei said: "Then take the 203 Heights first, Chen Yu, you first introduce the specific situation of the 203 Heights!" ”

"Yes, President!" Chen Yu stood up, he walked to the side of the wall, pointed to the map and said: "This is the schematic diagram of the 203 heights, president, please see, the commanders, at the foot of the mountain, the Japanese dug a trench nearly 30 meters wide, this trench is 5 meters deep, around the northeast, north and northwest of the 203 heights in three directions, in front of the trench, the Japanese also erected electrified barbed wire, that is to say, if our army wants to attack, it must first break through the electrified barbed wire, and then go down to the 5-meter-deep trench."

"In the trenches, near the edge of the hill, the Japanese built forts every fifty meters, each with three firing holes, which could cover the front, left front, and right front. The forts in these trenches are not as high as the trenches, that is, the Japanese soldiers in the forts in the trenches do not see that our soldiers are rummaging through the barbed wire, and this is not their concern, as long as our soldiers cross the barbed wire and go down to the trenches, the Japanese troops in the fort will open fire! On the opposite side of the fortress, that is, the side where our soldiers went down to the trench, the Japanese also hollowed out this side, and dug out some shooting holes in the wall, if you don't pay attention, you can't find it, but when our soldiers go down to the trench to attack the pillbox in the trench, their backs will sound the Japanese gunshots, so that as long as our soldiers go down to the trench to attack the pillbox, they will inevitably be attacked from both sides! ”

"Behind the trench was a hill, and on the surface of the hill there were various infantry bunkers, and between the individual infantry bunkers and the forts in the trench there were underground passages to interconnect with each other. The Japanese infantry in the infantry bunker could fire at our soldiers who were in front of the barbed wire fence on the ground, or they could rush to the fortress in the trench through the underground passage in Guò to support! ”

"There is a breastwork near the top of the hill. It's so thick that there is no way for ordinary artillery to take it. The only way to do this is to do a tunnel and plant a lot of explosives to blow it down! ”

"According to the information we have, there is a barracks of Japanese soldiers on the south side of the mountainside, where Japanese soldiers rest and sleep, and if there is a battle, they can at any time rush behind the breastwork to open fire on our soldiers, or enter the infantry bunker through the underground passage of Guò!"

"On the side near the port, there are the quarters in the fort and the medical office. On the top of the hill there were more than a dozen Japanese 280 mm guns, but in our two-day offensive. These large-caliber guns did not fire, it is estimated that there is not enough ammunition, and the only remaining ammunition should be left for use at the most critical time! ”

"In addition, on the top of the hill directly opposite our troops, that is, to the northeast, north and northwest, there is a Japanese heavy machine-gun position, which is condescending and can fire at our attacking soldiers outside the barbed wire, even if it is over the barbed wire. As long as you haven't gone down to the trench, you're still within the range of the machine-gun position! At present, according to the intelligence we have, the Japanese troops in the 203 heights are about a thousand people, the size of a Japanese brigade. So much to defend a 203 height, is more than enough, according to the Japanese. If they have enough ammunition and food, this one brigade alone can hold back the attack of our ten divisions. That's the whole situation."

After Chen Yu introduced the situation, especially when he said the last sentence. Huang Yingjie, the commander of the Second Army, smiled angrily, after all, a martial artist is a martial artist, and he has always had the idea of "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second", he said: "Ha, this Japanese is really arrogant, even with his thousand people, he also wants to block the attack of our ten divisions?" Even if this 203 Heights is all watered with steel, it is impossible to stop our ten divisions, and I am not afraid to flash my tongue when I speak! ”

Xiao Zhenlei shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Commander Huang, do you think there is a difference between the mountain of this 203 Plateau and the one made of steel?" Our artillery can't break through the defense of steel, and there is no way to take the rocks of this highland, and the shells hit it and at most drop some stone fragments, and the Japanese in those infantry bunkers are still the same lively, the Japanese are taking advantage of the natural defense of this highland, and giving it full play to the maximum, in fact, the Japanese are not exaggerating, as long as the Japanese have enough food and ammunition, it is entirely possible to do this! ”

"When the Japanese army attacked the Lushunkou fortress defended by the Russian army, it fought for more than five months, the Japanese suffered nearly 50,000 casualties before and after, and there were 32,500 people when the Russian army surrendered, this is because the Russian army did not improve the artillery of all the batteries in the entire fortress, according to the plan of the Russians, the entire Lushunkou should deploy 552 guns, but until the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, only 116 were ready, including 108 on the coastal front and 8 on the land front, In other words, there are only eight artillery pieces used for land artillery strikes, and if you think about it, if all these 552 guns are deployed, how many people will Japan have to die to capture the fortress of Arthur Pass? After the Russian commander Kondratenko and his important garrison died in battle, Fokk, who agreed with the surrender, was appointed commander of the land defense, before he held a military meeting, the 203 heights, the East Cockscomb Mountain Fortress, the Pine Hill Fortress and the Lookout Fort all fell into the hands of the Japanese, at the meeting, there were still most of the Russian officers who said that they would stick to the end, but he still chose to sign the surrender order, but the ammunition of the Russian army was still very sufficient, and the Russian commander did not have the courage to continue to hold on, If the Russians continue to hold out, the Japanese don't know how many more people will die! ”

Xiao Zhenlei took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and an officer next to him immediately took out a lighter and lit it for him, he took a few puffs of cigarette and continued: "In this case, you must not use large-scale troops to attack, if you attack, it must be how many people will die, we have to find a way, any fortress cannot be indestructible, any fortress will have weaknesses, you commanders just want to find these weaknesses, and then take it at the lowest cost!" ”

At this time, Jiang Baili said: "President, if you follow your line of thought, I think it is most appropriate to form a strong combat squad for infiltration attacks, you see, the fortress from the outer trench at the foot of the mountain has a passage to the machine gun fortress at the top of the mountain, if we form a small detachment, first infiltrate one of the fortresses in the outer trench, and then follow the passage all the way to the top of the mountain, of course, this process will definitely not be so easy, but as long as you reach the top of the mountain and seize the machine gun fortress and battery, the Japanese should be in a hurry, After the detachment seized the machine-gun fort and battery at the top of the mountain, it blew up the passage to the top of the mountain, and the Japanese could only attack the mountain from the infantry bunkers on the surface of the mountain. ”

Xiao Zhenlei took a few puffs of cigarette, shook the ash into the ashtray, and thought about Jiang Baili's words in his mind, and after two minutes, he said: "Maybe this is a way to minimize our casualties, in this case, let's send the snow wolf troops to attack, with a small team of the snow wolf troops as the lead, and two hundred elite soldiers from the fourth division to form a reinforced company, the snow wolf squad and this elite company jointly form a small team, with the captain of the snow wolf squad as the commander, fully responsible for the implementation of the infiltration attack plan, The specific action plan is made by the Snow Wolf troops, and the Sharp Knife Company is responsible for cooperating, and they will provide them with whatever weapons and equipment they need, and the highest goal is to take the 203 heights as soon as possible! In the name of the Supreme Military Council, an order was immediately issued to the Snow Wolf troops, telling them to set off at once, to inform them of the situation here, to let them see what equipment they needed, and to send transport planes to send them directly to the Golden State airport."

To tell the truth, the situation of this 203 Heights reminded Xiao Zhenlei of the Battle of Songshan in World War II many years later, the Japanese army hollowed out the entire Songshan and built a strong fortress, the situation of the Songshan Fortress was similar to the situation of this 203 Heights, the Japanese army dug fortifications and communication channels inside the mountain, and connected from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Jiang Baili nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said to Chen Jizu: "Yaoguang, I and Chief of General Staff Jiang can't stay here for a long time, we must rush back while it's still early, it is estimated that we can rush back to the capital before dark, you will be fully responsible for the war here, you must play the prestige of our Chinese soldiers, let the world see that we are no longer the weak Qing Dynasty before, we are not only the air force, the army is also the most powerful, the war against the Japanese, to defeat them with a devastating attack posture!" This time, I will ask the Snow Wolf Force to give you a demonstration of the battle, in fact, using the Snow Wolf Force to carry out this kind of task is a bit of a killing knife. I believe that after this battle, your field troops also have a certain amount of experience in sharp knife troops, and in the future, when you encounter such a situation, you can organize such sharp knife troops to carry out this special task by yourself! In addition, there is no need to rush the matter of attacking North Korea, if we can take Arthur Pass before mid-October, we can launch an attack on the Japanese army in North Korea, if not, we can concentrate on attacking the Japanese army at Arthur Pass first, step by step, we will try to avoid fighting on two fronts."

Chen Jizu stood up and saluted: "Yes, please rest assured that the president and the chief of the general staff!" We guarantee the full mission! ”

Xiao Zhenlei and Jiang Baili left on a transport plane, and Chen Jizu directly moved the headquarters from Mukden to Dalian, deciding to take Lushunkou first, and then start to deal with the Japanese army in Korea. (To be continued......)
