Potential is something that cannot be seen, but can be felt!

And the military is very sensitive to the collective situation.

No, Li Jing hurried down, and soon he was only ten meters away from the fortifications on the top of the back mountain, but he immediately felt something strange: there was silence around, everyone's nerves were tense, and there was a fierce murderous aura in the gloom. Clearly, something happened.

Could it be that the little devil has already been discovered? The little devil came so quickly?

Li Jing was shocked, and hurriedly ran up, not looking at the other side at all, but ran directly into the fortifications.

"How's the situation?" asked as he grabbed the teapot on the small table and poured several sips directly, then he let out a long breath of comfort, looked at a few comrades on the side of the small table, and waited for a reply.

Unbeknownst to him, before these people could answer, the platoon commander of the second platoon, who was looking at the situation opposite through the lookout glasses in the fortifications, turned around and replied: "Report to the battalion commander, the vanguard of the little devils appeared on the top of the opposite hill three minutes ago. ”

Li Jing hurriedly walked over and looked through the lookout glass.

Sure enough!

There were about thirty little devils on the opposite side, standing on the top of the hill opposite, some were resting, some were smoking and chatting, and there were also two or three probably little devil officers, pointing at this side, as if discussing how to take this place.

Majiapo Village can be said to have taken advantage of the geographical advantage, from a military point of view, the top of Houshan Mountain is definitely the most important defense point, more important than the village itself. If you capture the village and fail to take the commanding heights of the back mountain, then the result will inevitably be a condescending blow. On the other hand, if this commanding height is captured, then the village will be within the range of all-out strafing, which can be described as self-defeating. In layman's terms, for the commanding heights of the back mountain, the village is a bit similar to chicken ribs.

Although the mountain behind Majiapo Village is only more than 260 meters above sea level, there is no mountain around it within two kilometers of a small hill about 100 meters high that is connected to the north.

What's more, this 200-meter-high mountain, to the south (facing Majiapo Village), has a slope of nearly 80 degrees, which is only a little better than the cliff. After extending 100 meters to the west, there is a cliff about 40 meters high. The east side is a little better, there are no cliffs, and the slope is relatively not too steep, but the problem is that it is all bare rocks, the widest part of the top is about five meters, and the narrowest point is only about one meter. The north side, that is, the small hill 100 meters away, but the slope is more than 40 degrees, but under the thorns planted by the people of Majiapo Village for many years, a thorn forest has already been formed all over the mountain, and only one path is allowed to go up the mountain.

For the importance of this commanding height, the villagers of Majiapo Village have concentrated on the commanding heights of any defensive thing they can think of. Relatively, it is precisely because of this commanding height, Majiapo Village has never been completely broken in the history of two or three hundred years, thanks to this, Majiapo Village has never been looted by bandits or routs, so it is relatively rich - in the environment of many bandits at that time, a safe environment basically means relative wealth.

Over the years, it has continuously added bricks and tiles to the commanding heights, making it extremely strong. Not to mention anything else, the former commanding heights were all made of wood the size of a sea bowl bowl to build circular fortifications. Later, after Majiapo Village became rich, it spent great efforts to move the heavy marble in the way of ants to replace the wood as desired.

In the end, thanks to the eldest son and son-in-law of Mr. Zhang, who came here to inspect and gave full guidance and support from a military point of view, and Ma Hongji and other villagers were naturally willing to spend a lot of money to strengthen the fortifications out of consideration for the safety of life and property, so they bought cement from the provincial capital, and specially hired a construction expert and a military expert to guide how to build the fortifications.

After more than ten generations of unremitting efforts, this commanding height, which is related to the safety of the lives and property of the people in the whole village, finally has a terrifying scale: it occupies almost all of the entire mountaintop, but it is divided into multiple stages. On the whole, it is a semicircle facing the north face, but there are more than a dozen bunkers made of cement and marble on the perimeter...... In this way, the combination of the bunker and the main fortification forms a fortification that is easy to defend and difficult to attack without dead ends.

And under this semicircular fortification, there are also a lot of hollowed out places, not only for the reserve of materials, but also, although the main fortifications and the pillbox are connected, can transport troops when necessary, the key is that the height of these connected tunnels is only one meter five, but the width is only about one meter, and each tunnel has at least two small mechanisms, as long as these small organs are activated, the gravel can instantly block this tunnel, so that even if the attacking side captures the pillbox, but it cannot directly lead to the main fortifications.

In order to maximize the solidity of the commanding heights, the villagers of Majiapo Village forcibly did not allow anyone to build a road within a radius of three miles, and even under the guidance of Mr. Zhang's son-in-law, a road more than three meters wide was directly dug into countless sections. The main purpose is the words of the son-in-law of the old man Zhang: "Pillboxes built with cement and these marble, and small-caliber shells such as small steel cannons are not very lethal to them at all, but if someone bombards them with large-caliber cannons, these fortifications are still difficult to resist." Therefore, in order to prevent this, the people of Majiapo Village will take advantage of the large number of people and relative wealth, and forcibly do not allow other villages to build roads. It was to prevent the enemy from pulling heavy artillery here to deal with this commanding height.

Water attack is naturally nonsense, fire attack is possible, but the problem is that the villagers of Majiapo Village naturally thought of this, so they stored a certain amount of kerosene under the fortifications early, and when the time came, they poured the kerosene down with the advantage of height, and then set the fire over, so they didn't know who attacked whom.

In this way, it is naturally no wonder that Majiapo Village is standing tall and proud, and naturally, it is no wonder that the little devil has a headache...... With the cooperation of machine guns, strafing without dead ends, as long as ammunition, food, water and other materials are sufficient, it can be said that unless large-caliber heavy artillery is bombarded, or aircraft bombing (no matter how much the people of Majiapo Village think about it, they will not think of aircraft bombing), relying on manpower alone to attack this commanding height, is basically no different from sending them to death. Of course, from another point of view, it is also possible to consume ten or even dozens of times the life, and after using blood and life to consume the ammunition in the fortifications of the commanding heights and the reserves of lethal materials such as those that are not available, it can also be occupied.

In a word, this huge permanent fortification, consisting of a pillbox and a main fort, is really difficult to breach.

Li Jingchang breathed a sigh of relief: he finally arrived in time, and everything could be carried out under his own personal command.

Li Jinglao felt that the lookout glass was not as free as the telescope, so after looking at it, he directly picked up the binoculars and looked at the little devil on the opposite side from the lookout hole.

After watching it for half a minute, the more Li Jing looked at the little devils opposite, the more unpleasant he became, and finally, he shouted: "Second baby!"

"Here!"

"Come!" Li Jing pulled the other party over with a smile, handed him the binoculars, pointed to the little devil on the opposite side and asked, "Do you see those three standing together, pointing at us?"

"See. ”

"Those three people should be the commanders of this little devil. Among them, the one in the middle should be the supreme commander of this little devil...... How's it going, are you sure?"

The second baby looked at the other side through the binoculars, then looked at Li Jing, and replied firmly and forcefully: "Yes!"

"Okay!" Li Jing happily patted the second baby on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then hurry up and bring a few good marksmanship, find a place, and kill these little devils for Lao Tzu." ”

"Yes!"

It turned out that Li Jing saw that these little devils were not only sitting leisurely on the top of the mountain two or three hundred meters opposite him, but also that the three commanders dared to look at the map in a big way, and used binoculars to conduct on-the-spot reconnaissance and consultation, which made Li Jing very angry: You guys actually dared to pose like stepping on spring in front of Lao Tzu, and the commander even ignored the marksmanship of the soldiers on Lao Tzu's side, which was simply arrogant to the extreme. Since you look down on Lao Tzu so much, then Lao Tzu must let you understand what death is.

So, I want to kill these little devils. Because in his opinion, the attitude of these little devils is simply a living target.

Originally, he wanted to use the three small steel cannons he brought to teach the little devils on the other side a good lesson, and he had a name in mind - how the cannonball exploded!

However, when I think about it, I feel that it is a bit uneconomical: there are only three small steel cannons in total, and the total number of shells is only 90 rounds. Although the fortifications that take advantage of the commanding heights are under strong protection and easy to defend and difficult to attack, they are all passive defenses no matter what. But to be limited, it must be used well, and the minimum price must be exchanged for the highest value. Well, it seems a bit uneconomical to shell these dozens of little devils with these shells...... Li Jing planned to leave these shells for the little devil artillery.

Because as long as the artillery shells or artillery of the little devils who come to attack are blown up, then, even if the little devils want to replenish from the rear, it will take at least half a day. And once there is no support from shells, the little devil only relies on manpower to charge to seize the commanding heights, which is tantamount to sending him to death.

Besides, Li Jing didn't want to expose his hole cards too early - the small steel cannon and its shells are also one of the hole cards.

Moreover, an experienced veteran, for the kind of "boom~" sound produced by the cannonball piercing the air, will be so instinctive that he has not even judged what type of cannonball is falling, and his body's instinctive reaction will make him immediately lie down and hold his head, so that the power generated by the cannonball will be greatly reduced. Unless it is a covered cluster shelling, the effect will not be as great as imagined. However, even if the rapid fire of three small steel cannons alone can achieve the covering-type artillery bombardment, the problem is that there are not enough shells! You can't use all the shells at this time in order to eliminate dozens of little devils, right?

Therefore, after thinking about it again, he had to line up the sharpshooters to kill the little devil.
