"This is the trench that forces us to fight to the death......"

Compared with the troops on Niushou Mountain, Jiangjun Mountain, and Guanyin Mountain, it can be said that the teaching team and the 2nd Breakthrough Regiment performed the heaviest defensive tasks.

This is a plain, and there is a possibility that the Japanese 6th Division will reflexively attack from Jinling Castle. Moreover, the defense on the plain has always been good at the Guo army's troops, so Zhang Sixing directly settled here.

No matter what the officers and soldiers of the Guo Army thought, now they could only start digging their own pits according to Zhang Sixing's orders.

Individual potholes, compared to connected trenches, the only bad thing about individual potholes is that there is no way to retreat with protection. However, the individual potholes, which are separated by fifteen meters, do occupy a large area.

And such a position, unless a large number of artillery is mobilized for continuous bombardment, it is difficult to break through.

The reason is very simple, because it is extremely difficult to kill a soldier who fights to the death and has to pay a huge price.

At this moment, Zhang Sixing's side was only accompanied by Hu Yang's guards, who were also complete. But it was these figures in the dark night, who looked tall and dressed in striped cloth, that made the soldiers who were desperately digging holes feel at ease.

Because these people will shout "follow Lao Tzu", not those generals who leave their brothers behind when the situation is not right.

Moreover, at this moment, on Niushou Mountain, support fire has been established with the artillery captured from the 114th Division. Surprisingly, there were many Japanese among those gunners.

Quite simply, they killed their companions and were photographed from all angles.

And if the evidence of the crime falls into the hands of the Japanese, they will become sinners. Family members in Japan will also be held accountable by the military department, and even family members will be killed by angry Japanese civilians.

"Hurry up and dig up, the devils may come to their senses soon, and they will definitely not want to let us run away."

In addition, the miscellaneous battalion and the men of the punishment battalion were hurriedly arranging barbed wire and bullet mines in front of the battle line. Even these barbed wire and bullet mines were laid out all the way to the vicinity of the individual potholes.

"Here, put these steel helmet mines in your pit, and I'll tell you how these mines are arranged...... And put this bamboo pole away, when the devil tank comes, pull the arquebus......"

“…… What, and then ...... And then he threw it at the devil's tank, and this thing could blow you up with nothing left in his hand. ”

It's a very simple thing, the open bamboo tube is filled with explosives, and then a porcelain grenade at the tail becomes an earthen blasting canister. Of course, there are also some earth rocket launchers, but these things are usually equipped in the pit of the platoon commander or company commander.

And such weapons were made by the logistics battalion when they were hidden in the tunnels of Niushou Mountain. At least the explosives transported by Feng Shengfa, the commander of the 58th Division, were used finely.

The people of the miscellaneous barracks were hand-in-hand, teaching the people in the individual pits to arrange bullet mines and steel helmet mines. This is a very helpless thing, after all, the soldiers of this era are not trained, and many people are still on crutches.

It's a pity that the devil didn't give much free time, and soon a flare broke the silence of the battlefield.

"Flares...... Devil ......"

Apparently, the Devil Detective Team discovered the position set up by the teaching team, and they fired flares to indicate the target to their own artillery fire.

As flares appeared, the infantrymen, who had been desperately digging holes, fell to the ground. One by one, their bodies trembled, clenching their teeth and waiting for the devil's cannonballs to come.

However, before the flare lit up, it was extinguished by a bullet from an unknown source, and then the sound of a huge tweeter sounded Zhang Sixing's voice,

"Don't wait, dig quickly, when the devil attacks, the deeper your pit is, the more you can save your life. Dig another hole next to it when you have time, the more potholes you have, the more you can save your life. ”

Hearing this, every soldier sprang into action, desperately digging his hole deeper. At this time, no one felt tired, and no one complained about such a pothole position, and they couldn't even retreat properly.

But before they could shovel out a few handfuls of dirt from the hole, they heard the sound of artillery firing in the distance.

Everyone immediately retreated into their own pits, but fortunately, when such a pit was a meter deep, it was still able to provide enough cover.

Shells from the Japanese artillery positions near Qingliangmen, shells from the 75-mm guns of the divisional artillery of the 6th Division fell near the crater.

Fireballs mixed with dirt rose in the explosion, and all the soldiers who covered their ears and hid in the crater felt like a small boat in a storm. I could only curl up helplessly, enduring the undodging thunderstorms one by one.

However, this has little impact on the veterans, who are worried about things that are significantly different from those of the new recruits.

At this moment, the veterans were thinking about how they could deal with the attacks of the devils who would inevitably come in a while with the weapons and equipment in their hands. And the more people in the pit are in the hole, the more worried they are, not knowing if they can deal with the equipment in their hands.

A rifle and 600 rounds of ammunition for a person are standard, followed by a few steel helmet mines, and a few more bullet mines and traps if you want.

Then there was a rope that was obviously made out of leggings, and a porcelain grenade that was poured directly into his pit with a basket, and a "blasting canister" about fifty centimeters long in each pit.

With so many weapons, they had to rely on these things to fight in the pits until Principal Zhang ordered a retreat.

But as long as I think that as many as nearly 100,000 people will cross the river, I think that God knows how long it will take.

At the moment, I can only think about how long I can carry it.

Finally, the sound of the shell explosion ended, and then the silence of the battlefield was filled with the "clucking" sound of the "pheasant neck", which made people laugh.

One by one, the veterans quietly poked their heads out of their holes, but they only had shovels in their hands, not rifles. Although they did not believe that the people in the "hole" in front of them could withstand the Japanese attack, it was better to dig their own holes deeper now.

The soldiers also had nowhere to go, as they were surrounded by the kind of wire known as "Voldemort". It doesn't look high, but it forces people to jump off the grid at once.

Even the artillery fire just now was not lethal to the already soft barbed wire.

As for his retreat, it was only accessible from his pothole, leading to the next one behind him. Even the place is full of mines and traps, and it is not easy to escape.

"Horn Horn Horn"

Some dull explosions rang out outside the crater at the front, about a hundred and ten meters away.

The people in the paratrooper school are good at laying mines, and the soldiers of the teaching team know this point. It is not easy to lay out a minefield as wide as 100 meters in a short period of time.

Although what works in the "minefield" is the steel helmet mine that can be constantly replenished in the "pothole" of individual soldiers. But the Japanese were not stupid either, they completely stopped in front of the dense "individual potholes".

This is not the first time that the soldiers of the 6th Division have come up with a new way to deal with such a minefield.
