Chapter 169: What else can you do?
Boss Ding has many domestic gas mask samples. Mu Yang tried it and felt that his breathing was still smooth, at least he would not feel suffocating, and it would not be a big problem if he didn't run violently.
Mu Yang purchased 160 Type 08 gas masks at one time. This is the best military gas mask on the market now. It is naturally the best. The price is completely acceptable. One is 240 yuan, and Mu Yang said there is no pressure.
After payment, Boss Ding made a few phone calls and only had enough 160 masks. You know, the sales volume of this thing is not very high, and a military store will not have a lot of stockings.
With nearly 40,000 yuan in payment, Boss Ding happily sent someone to deliver the goods to his door. Mu Yang unloaded the goods directly to the residential building on the first floor of the community he rented. Now it is vacant and is just for loading, which is much more convenient than moving to the place where Mu Yang lives upstairs.
He sent the deliveryman away, turned around and put the purchased gas mask into the space, Mu Yang returned home, and then traveled directly back to the European war time and space.
"Ford." Mu Yang shouted outside the door.
"Yes, sir, I'm here." Communications Corps Ford quickly ran into Muyang's office.
"I notify the four platoon leaders to come to my meeting." Mu Yang was about to start training these guys now. There was not much time left, so we couldn't delay it at will.
"Okay sir." Ford ran out. Not long after, Claire and the other four came to Muyang's office.
Mu Yang asked the four of them to sit down and said, "We have a lot of recruits here, and those workers who have never been trained. Even veterans, I am not very satisfied with their fighting consciousness, so we have to start training for them. I have studied a set of methods to increase the chances of soldiers' survival."
Speaking of this, Mu Yang took out a picture of a simple defense zone trench diagram he drew himself. Then he said to the four people, "The Germans will definitely have shelling before the attack, that's for sure."
Claire and the other two nodded. This was just common sense of fighting, and they didn't know why Mu Yang asked this.
"Look at it. This is a trench. What would happen if the German shells fell into the trench?" Mu Yang continued to ask.
"All pieces were killed." Newton replied cooperatively.
"Claire, tell me about the casualties of the troops during the German shelling," Mu Yang said.
"Sir, I have never counted it. If you are lucky, we will probably suffer more than 20 casualties after avoiding the shelling. If you are unlucky, it is common for 40 or 50 casualties to be killed or injured." Claire said.
"There is even worse. When I was in Verdun, the company I was in was facing the attack of the German army head-on. The German army used thousands of large-caliber cannons to bomb our positions for two consecutive hours. After the German shelling stopped, our company only survived more than thirty people."
"And other troops in other front-line positions were not in good condition. The German charge broke through our defense line. Because at that time, we had not many soldiers on the first line of defense line positions." said Lieutenant Borton Rayfoster, who rarely spoke.
"Yes, it's this problem. The enemy's shelling will cause serious damage to our positions. Actually, I have studied that when the Germans bombarded, they will definitely not send soldiers to fight for positions. When they sent soldiers, the shelling will end and we both turn to the positional battle. That's right."
The four nodded at the same time.
"I have an idea. It is a way to reduce casualties of soldiers when shelling. Dig out some anti-aircraft holes on the side walls of the trench, let the soldiers hide inside, avoid the enemy's shelling, and wait for the enemy to come out when charging. What do you think?" Mu Yang asked.
The four of them lit up at the same time, and they were thinking carefully about the method proposed by Mu Yang. However, as soldiers on the front line, they could naturally judge that the method proposed by Mu Yang was indeed possible to defend against artillery attacks.
"The main killing of shells is shock waves and shrapnel. We emit a hole deep into the side wall of the trench. The hole entrance is not big. Just allow a person to squat and drill in, and then the inside can be expanded appropriately."
"There is no need to hide many people in each place, five or seven, and at most one squad is almost the same. We can dig a lot, which will facilitate soldiers to attack quickly." Mu Yang said.
"What if the hole was blown up by a shell?" asked Lieutenant Calvin Wright.
"We can strengthen the hole and the walls, just use wooden boards. Because the hole is small, the possibility of being blown down is very small. As long as it is slightly reinforced, there is no problem at all." Mu Yang drew a suggested reinforcement diagram on the paper for the four of them to show.
"Sir, how much do you think it will be?" Claire asked.
"I guess the loss will be reduced by half, or even more." Mu Yang replied with certainty. After all, the cat ear pierced has been tested by later wars, and Mu Yang still has this confidence.
"Sir, you are so amazing. You can actually think of such a good way. Now, seeing what other Germans can do, we will definitely surprise them. When they charge, they will catch them off guard." Claire said excitedly.
Calvin, Newton and Burton also praised Mu Yang's invention.
Mu Yang told the three of them about the several deformations of the anti-cannon hole, including inclined holes, bent holes, T-shaped holes, etc., which shocked the three of them even more.
"Now that defense is over, let's talk about the offensive issue." Mu Yang interrupted the four of them.
"Occurrence, are you talking about charge?"
"Yes, charge, I found that in fact, the casualties and injuries in our battles during charge are much greater than those during defense. Do you still remember the Somme River and Verdun? In any battle, hundreds of thousands of young men gave their young lives, and they all fell on the way to charge." Mu Yang said with emotion.
"What good ideas do you have?"
The four of them now no longer thought Mu Yang was as whimsical as they were at the beginning, because the anti-aircraft hole strategy for defending artillery is very feasible and practical.
"Calvin, your military posture is the most standard. You can demonstrate to you how we look when we attack." Mu Yang said.
Lieutenant Calvin Wright is more than 1.8 meters tall, tall, strong and straight. He immediately stood up when he heard Mu Yang's words, picked up the rifle placed by the door, and made a move forward with a gun in a very standard move forward.
Calvin is very proud that he is the first in the competition among the 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 has been obviously out of date. (To be continued...)
