Chapter 48: Trench Construction, Pre-War Mobilization

A few days ago, Tang Ji found himself and said that the Sichuan Army had been destroyed in Dianmen, and he could re-raise the name of the Sichuan Army, and through the consent of Shangfeng, he pulled up the Sichuan Army and stationed in Chanda, and now when he heard the news that the Sichuan Army appeared on the Nantianmen, Yu Xiaoqing felt very surprised, and he also realized that all this was related to Tang Ji.

At the same time, the defeated soldiers brought another bad information, according to the information observed by the Shangchuan Corps of Nantianmen, the pursuing Japanese troops were in one wing, and they could reach Nantianmen in two hours, which meant that there were less than two hours left in the Nujiang defense line.

"The Nujiang defense line is chaotic and has not yet been built, the Japanese army is attacking and driving straight in, and the loosely defended Nujiang defense line will never be able to resist the Japanese attack, and he wants to buy time for me at Nantianmen."

Yu Xiaoqing thought about it, and immediately called Zhang Lixian and others to lead Chan Danei's troops to quickly build a defense line on the Nu River.

Zhang Lixian also brought a piece of news: "Tuanzuo, the news that the Sichuan army is defending on the Nantianmen has spread in Chanda, and the last words of the head of the Xia regiment have shocked many defeated soldiers and people, and many of the defeated soldiers who have wandered to Chanda want to board the Nantianmen and fight against the Japanese army." ”

Zhang Lixian sighed: "Head Xia is the pillar of the country!" ”

The reason why Zhang Lixian followed Yu Xiaoqing was that he was conquered by Yu Xiaoqing's personality charm, Yu Xiaoqing was one of the few generals in the national army who dared to resist Japan, but it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time, and the shackles on his body were like a high mountain, which was difficult to take off.

Zhang Lixian admired Xia Yuan very much at this moment, a wing of the Japanese army was about to arrive at the Nu River, and the Nu River defense line had not yet been built, and a wing of the Japanese army would attack and inevitably drive straight into the Nu River and break through the Nu River.

Xia Yuan stayed, obviously considering this, he abandoned his previous suspicion with Yu Xiaoqing, and stayed on the Nantianmen to block the Japanese army, not to give Chanda a stability.

And now Xia Yuan's last words spread in the city, and the name of Xia Yuan, a famous anti-Japanese general, swept through Chanda like a storm, and at the same time, his last words also aroused the will of many rout soldiers to fight, and Zhang Lixian had to admire.

Yu Xiaoqing got up from his chair and said, "Immediately order all battalions to quickly build fortifications along the Nu River, stabilize the deployment along the Nu River, and pull the artillery to the designated position to stand by." In addition, the organization becomes a rout, distributing excess guns and ammunition, and expanding the army to cope with the next battle! ”

Zhang Lixian nodded: "Yes!" ”

Then he left the base camp of the Yu regiment with his military boots.

Yu Zhi, He Shuguang, and Li Bing also left with Zhang Lixian, and they wanted to quickly convey the order. Just when the Japanese army was about to set foot on the Nantianmen, a last word that shook China quickly spread from Chanda.

On the Nantian Gate, Xia Yuan previously taught the defeated soldiers of the containment station some experience in building fortifications, and he asked the defeated soldiers of the containment station to teach these defeated soldiers how to dig craters that can prevent bullets and artillery, in addition to the construction of firepower points, because Xia Yuan considered the time problem in advance, he asked the routers to give priority to building firepower point fortifications, and the trench fortifications are not in a hurry, how to build the firepower points strongly, and can resist the attack of the Japanese army for a longer time.

The routs pulled up all the trees that could be cut down around them, made them top with logs, and covered them with a thick layer of soil, and a simple firepower point was built in this way, and the time was relatively short, and this way of building a firepower point was still learned from the US military on Shangganling, and a thick layer of soil on the top could effectively prevent the bombardment of artillery shells.

In addition, in order to prevent the Japanese army's poisonous gas, Xia Yuan specially sent a water team, using everything that the Sichuan Army could take water, took a lot of water, and put it behind the position, as long as the Japanese army dropped poison gas bombs, the water could be mixed with the soil into mud, and then used clothes to wrap and block the mouth and nose, in addition, they also had some gas masks on their bodies, the number was not much, these poisonous masks were captured from the Japanese army, and they would not add weight to carry on their bodies.

Xia Yuan took advantage of the terrain to build three defense lines on the front and left side of the Nantianmen, on the left side is a more prominent hill, shorter than the Nantianmen, Xia Yuan thought twice, and decided to take the raised mountain ridge as the forward position, and the troops stationed above only had a company of more than 100 people, and the three-three system was still adopted.

Xia Yuan simply told this group of defeated soldiers about the way of the three-three system, and it still depends on them when they really get to the battlefield.

Xia Yuan didn't expect this group of routed soldiers to be able to resist the attack of a wing of the Japanese army for a long time, as long as they could withstand the attack of a wing of the Japanese army for nearly a week, they would have earned it.

Before the mobilization of the war, Xia Yuan stood in front of the defeated soldiers, quietly watching each of them.

"I won't say much more, the expeditionary force was defeated in Dian-Burma, the Japanese army blocked the last passage between China and the outside world, and the anti-Japanese sentiment in the whole country was extremely low. What do most of the people know, many of them are farmers, when you first came out, did you touch a gun? No, so he doesn't know the people, they only know who fights the little devils badly, and who really protects them. ”

"And we, we have to be the pioneers, the Japanese army wants to enter Chanda through the South Heavenly Gate, trying to threaten the whole of China from Chanda, causing our China to perish, how can we choose to escape when China is at stake, if we can die, in exchange for the people of Chanda, in exchange for China's tomorrow, I will give up my life and forget death."

"Man is inherently dead, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. Whether it will be left in history or will be remembered for thousands of years, it depends on us today. ”

Xia Yuan raised his voice: "The people of Chanda are behind us, the land of China is behind us, the Japanese devils want to step through the Nantianmen, they want to cross the Nu River, unless they step on my corpse!" ”

Xia Yuan is not just talking, he is also a man of action, from Changjin Lake to Shangganling along the way, he has gone through too many life and death partings.

To live, it is to see how you live.

Die, to see how you died.

Or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai.

Bu Lai stood up and said: "China is going to perish, and the Hunan people will die first!" ”

To Ma said: "Lao Tzu is Sichuan Di, it is the Sichuan Army, the turtle son Di wants to destroy Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu beat them to the point that he doesn't even recognize his ancestors!" ”

Ah Yi stammered a little: "I, my father was killed by the Japanese devils, I want to avenge my father, I want to kill the Japanese devils, if we don't kill the Japanese devils, the Japanese devils will kill our family." ”

Meng was annoyed and spoke very simply: "I just want to protect the people I want to protect." His mind conjured up the face of Xiao Drunk, and then the face of his parents.

Dou Cake said: "I want to follow Brother Ma, where he goes, where I go." ”

Milong was so sunburned that he couldn't open his eyes, and sneezed and said: "I just sent my wife and children on the boat, I don't fight, the Japanese devils rushed over, will they let my wife and children go?" No, the four eastern provinces have been lost, Chanda is my last home, I don't want Chanda to be lost. ”

The snake butt said: "I lost all the way, escaped all the way, dirty, not like a soldier, like a begging for food, I ate snakes in order to survive, I ran all the way to Zenda, this time I don't run, I don't want to run, there is nowhere to run, we don't have home, where else can we run?" ”

Kang Ya said: "I really want to eat a bowl of knife-cut noodles from my hometown, veterinarian Hao, when will I make a bowl of knife-cut noodles." ”

Veterinarian Hao looked at him and said, "When will we meet Lord Yan together." ”

The soldiers laughed along, but there was a bitterness in their laughter, and they were thinking blankly about the food in their hometown.

The other defeated soldiers also changed their tunes, thinking about how good it would be if they could eat a meal from their hometown, and it would be worth it to die, at least they killed the devil and ate the food of their hometown.

Yang Danzi's idea is simple: "I just want to kill devils, kill Japanese devils." ”

Xiwa's thoughts are also simple: "I don't want to be looked down upon anymore, at home, by the people in my hometown, I just want to fight the little devils, and when I go to Dianmi, I have to be treated by the British as a person, I just want to be an upright person, a Chinese soldier!" ”

One by one, the defeated soldiers expressed their opinions, they recalled the past, denounced the past, they looked forward to the future, they looked forward to the day when they could become heroes, they looked forward to being looked up to, they could become heroes of their hometown.

At this moment, their determination to fight the Japanese army became even stronger.

At the end of the mobilization, the defeated soldiers were organized into six companies, one company of more than 100 people, organized into six echelons, stationed in the three lines of defense from the peak of Nantianmen to the half-slope of Nantianmen, and the hillside on the left side of Nantianmen was their forward position, the first company was stationed in the first line of defense, the second company was stationed in the second line of defense, the third company was stationed in the third line of defense, the fourth company was the second echelon of the first company, and it was also a reinforcement team, the fifth company was the second echelon of the second company, and it was also a reinforcement team, and the sixth company was the second echelon of the third company, and it was also a reinforcement team.

They are too lacking in weapons and ammunition, and they are a group of routs, their action and execution are far inferior to the volunteers, plus they are defeated all the way, there are not many tactics that can be used, only to concentrate superior forces to resist the attack of the Japanese army, the width of the battle line is not long, there are three trenches on a defensive line, separated by dozens of meters, and more than 100 soldiers are scattered and hidden in the trenches, waiting for the opportunity with guns.

And the fighters of one of the platoons were arranged by Xia Yuan on the flanks to carry out tactical cover, and the effect was not obvious, and their weapons and equipment at this time were too far worse than when they were at the airport and when they just came out of the airport. The battle is bound to be tragic.

Xia Yuan formed a night attack death squad, a platoon, equipped with a few submachine guns in the entire regiment, he planned to look for an opportunity tonight, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the Japanese army, and the death squad personnel all came out of the containment station, and there were few alive.

The Japanese artillery came over, and listening from a distance, Long said: "At most five miles, we will be there." ”

He never thought that he would fight a few battles with a large number of men, and it would be a battle.

Six companies, assigned to the defense line of hundreds of meters in length and breadth of Nantianmen, the first line of defense is a company garrisoned, a team of 120 people, equipped with two light machine guns, Xia Yuan took the lead, to the forward position to increase the morale of the soldiers, the Japanese army is menacing, they must stop to block, the sound of artillery is getting closer and closer, I saw the Japanese scouts walking through the forest from a distance, and there are still many routs being chased and running around.

The defeated soldiers occupied the advantage of geographical location, and they were condescending, and it was still very impressive to resist the Japanese attack for a day.

Xia Yuan came to the first line of defense with Milong's machine gun deputy, sheep eggs and bean cakes, "After the battle starts, you two will shrink in the bunker and give me bullets." ”

The two squatted in the trench, looked at Xia Yuan, nodded, the command of the rear was temporarily handed over to Long Wenwen, the positional battle basically does not need any command, it is a hard top, Xia Yuan lost the command and was able to maximize his combat effectiveness, after all, the combat effectiveness of the defeated soldiers is limited, even if it is the number of a complete regiment, but this group of defeated soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit, in the face of the attack of a wing of the Japanese army, it is difficult to withstand the attack of three days, especially in such terrain, if you want to hold on longer, you must ensure that it is within one day, The first line of defense will not collapse.

Xia Yuan gave up his command and gave full play to his individual ability, Long Wenwen's ability to lead troops to fight is not bad, he was able to defeat Yu Xiaoqing on the sand table, which proves that he has a certain ability and quality in command ability and overall situation, Long Wenwen is a piece of jade that has not been carved, and he only needs to make a general plan, and the details will be handed over to Long Wenwen.

In the forward position, the rout of a company sat in the trench, chatting, chatting, the sound of artillery approached Nantianmen, a Japanese brigade was rushing towards Nantianmen, and at the same time there was a Japanese brigade on the flank, using a pincer attack method, deep into the northern part of Dian-Burma, and a Japanese brigade on the left and right were advancing together.

Their aim was to tear apart the last line of defense of the Chinese side on the Sino-Burmese border, and they were the main attacking force.

Xia Yuan knew that in the original work, because of the existence of Long Wenwen and the Sichuan Army, the Japanese army's attack on Nantianmen was hindered, and Yu Xiaoqing took advantage of the gap between Long Wenwen's resistance to the Japanese army to complete the deployment of the Nujiang defense line, and the great merit of the Sichuan Army's resistance to the Japanese army also fell on Yu Xiaoqing's head, so that Yu Xiaoqing was promoted from regiment commander to division commander.

After all, Long Wenwen is just a fake regiment commander, he has no command but holds the position of regiment commander, his identity has been exposed, he goes to a military court, and shooting is an inevitable result, if it weren't for Yu Xiaoqing's love for talent, it is estimated that Long Wenwen has been killed by Tang Ji.

Xia Yuan crossed into my regiment commander and my regiment, he grasped the direction of the future, and knew what kind of person Tang Ji was, and for this group of defeated soldiers, it was naturally false to say that he had no feelings, he came from the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and tried to use various ways to improve their combat will and combat confidence.

Obviously, they all failed.
