Chapter 169: What else do you have to do
Boss Ding has many samples of domestic gas masks here, Mu Yang tried it, and felt that his breathing was still very smooth, at least there would be no feeling of suffocation, and it was not a big problem if he did not run and jump violently.
Muyang purchased 160 08-type gas masks at one time, which is the best military gas mask on the market now, naturally the best, the price is completely acceptable, a 240 yuan, Muyang said there is no pressure.
After paying, Boss Ding made a few phone calls to get together 160 masks, you know, the sales of this thing are not very high, and a military store will not have a lot of stock.
Nearly 40,000 yuan of payment, Boss Ding happily sent someone to deliver the goods, Muyang directly unloaded the things to the residential building on the first floor of the community he rented, and now it has been vacant, just used to load goods, which is much more convenient than moving upstairs to the place where Muyang lives.
Sending off the delivery man, turning around and loading the purchased gas mask into the space, Muyang returned home, and then traveled directly back to the time and space of the European war.
"Ford." Mu Yang shouted outside the door.
"Yes, sir, I'm here." Ford, a communications soldier, hurriedly ran into Muyang's office.
"Inform the four platoon commanders to come to me for a meeting." Muyang is ready to start training these guys now, time is running out, and he can't delay it at will.
"Yes sir." Ford ran out, and it didn't take long for Claire to come to Muyang's office.
Mu Yang sat the four of them down, and then said: "We have a lot of recruits here, as well as those laborers who have never been trained, even if they are veterans, I am not very satisfied with their fighting awareness, so we are going to start training them, and I have studied a set of methods that can improve the soldiers' chances of survival." ”
Said here. Mu Yang took out a diagram, which was a schematic diagram of the trenches in the improvised defense area that he drew himself. Then he said to the four, "The Germans must have shelled before attacking, that's for sure." ”
Claire and the four nodded, this is simply common sense in battle, they don't know why Mu Yang asks like this.
"Look. This is the trench, what would have happened if the shells of the Germans had fallen in the trenches. Mu Yang continued to ask.
"Killed a piece." Newton replied cooperatively.
"Claire, tell me about the casualties of the troops during the German shelling." Muyang said.
"Sir, I haven't counted, if I'm lucky, probably after dodging the shelling, we will probably kill and wound more than 20 people. If you are unlucky, it is not uncommon for you to lose forty or fifty people killed or injured. Claire said.
"To make matters worse, at Verdun, my company was facing the German attack head-on, and the Germans used thousands of large-caliber artillery pieces to bombard our positions for two hours in a row, and our company was in the German shelling after the German shelling stopped. Only about thirty people survived. ”
"And the situation of other units in other front-line positions was also not very good, and the German charge broke through our lines. Because at that time, we didn't have many soldiers on the first line of defense. "Burton, who rarely speaks. Second Lieutenant Ray Foster said.
"Yes, that's the problem, enemy shelling, can cause serious damage to our positions. Actually, I studied, the Germans at the time of shelling. Surely they will not send soldiers up to fight for positions, and when they send soldiers up, the shelling will end, and we will both switch to fighting for positions, right? ”
All four nodded at the same time.
"I had a vision. It is a way to reduce the casualties of soldiers during shelling. In the side walls of the trenches, dig some anti-artillery holes, let the soldiers hide inside, avoid the enemy's shelling, and wait for the enemy to come out when they charge, what do you think? Muyang asked.
The eyes of the four of them lit up at the same time, and their minds were carefully thinking about the method proposed by Mu Yang, but as the soldiers on the front line, they could naturally judge that the method proposed by Mu Yang would indeed be possible to defend against artillery bombardment.
"The main damage of the shells is shock waves and shrapnel, and we send out a hole in the side wall of the trench that goes deep into it, the hole is not big, as long as a person is allowed to squat and drill into it, and then the inside can be enlarged a little."
"There is no need to hide many people in each one, five, seven, at most one squad is about the same, we can dig a lot, and it is also convenient for soldiers to attack quickly." Muyang said.
"And what if the hole is blown up by a shell?" Calvin. Lieutenant Wright asked.
"We can do some reinforcement of the hole and the wall, with wooden planks. Because the hole is small, there is little chance of it being blown up, and as long as it is slightly reinforced, there is no problem at all. Muyang drew a proposed reinforcement diagram on the paper and showed it to the four of them.
"Sir, how much do you think it will be useful?" Claire asked.
"I estimate that the losses will be cut in half, or even more." Mu Yang replied affirmatively. After all, the cat ear piercing has been tested by the war of later generations, and Muyang still has this confidence.
"Sir, you are so powerful that you can think of such a good method, now see what else those Germans can do, we will definitely surprise them, and when they charge, we will take them by surprise." Claire said with some excitement.
Calvin, Newton and Burton also praised Muyang's invention.
Mu Yang told the three of them about several deformations of the anti-artillery hole, such as the oblique hole, the turning hole, the T-shaped hole, etc., which shocked the three of them Mu Yang's thoughts.
"Now that the defense is out of the way, let's talk about the offense." Mu Yang interrupted the sycophants of the four.
"Attack, do you mean charge?"
"Yes, charge, I found that in fact, in our battles, the casualties in the charge were much greater than the casualties in the defense, remember the Somme, remember Verdun, in every battle, hundreds of thousands of young men paid for their young lives, and they all fell on the way to the charge." Mu Yang said with emotion.
"What do you have a good idea again?"
The method proposed by the four of them to Mu Yang now is no longer as whimsical as they did at the beginning, because the anti-artillery hole strategy to defend against artillery bombardment is very feasible and practical.
"Calvin, your military posture is the most standard, you can show everyone what we look like when we attack." Muyang said.
Calvin. Lieutenant Wright is more than one meter eight tall, tall and strong, with a straight waist, and when he heard Mu Yang's words, he immediately stood up, picked up the rifle placed by the door, and put on a posture of advancing with a gun, a very standard forward posture.
Calvin was proud to be the number one in that cohort of recruits.
But this posture is so stupid in Mu Yang's eyes, what is the difference between this and suicide, since the appearance of the machine gun, this offensive posture is obviously outdated. (To be continued......)
