That night, Tang Dao, who returned to the Sihang Regiment Headquarters, made a defense zone deployment.

Leng Feng, the chief of staff and battalion commander of the first battalion, led the 1st Battalion to station in Sifangwan, the 1st Air Defense Battalion Company, and the 1st Platoon of the Special Battalion War Vehicle Company, and was commanded by Leng Feng.

The second battalion commander Zhao Daqiang led the 2nd battalion to Niuchangpo, the 2nd Air Defense Battalion Company, and the 2nd Platoon of the Special Battalion War Vehicle Company, and was under the command of Zhao Daqiang.

The third battalion commander Li Jiujin led the 3rd Battalion to station in Zhujiaping, the 3rd Air Defense Battalion Company, and the 3rd Platoon of the Special Battalion War Vehicle Company, and was under the command of Li Jiujin.

The artillery battalion is located in a mountainous area 4,000 meters behind the Niuchangpo position. The 10th Company of the 4th Battalion and the regiment guard company are responsible for ground guard. The battalion commander of the air defense battalion Cheng Tieshou personally led the 4th Company of the Air Defense Battalion to be responsible for its air defense.

The 4th Battalion Commander Cai Yongguan may be the one who is most angry among the four infantry battalions. There are three main positions in total, and the other three battalion commanders are one, but he doesn't have them.

Because he will lead the remaining troops of the Fourth Battalion to become the first reserve team of the regiment headquarters, and the baggage battalion will be the second reserve team.

No, in addition to the three main positions, the defense zone of the Four Army Regiment also has to travel 20 kilometers to intercept the Japanese army that may have come from Changyang. Battalion Commander Cai, who did not get the task of defending the main position, originally stood up and wanted to fight for this task for the 4th Battalion.

"Report to the sir, I..."

"I know what you, Battalion Commander Cai, want to say. Then I tell you that the reserve team is not only here to fill holes, but also my surprise soldier. After a military order, you have to tear open the Japanese defense line like a tiger and kill him for me!" Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Tang Tuanzhu blocked him back.

"You, Battalion Commander Cai, don't want to do it, some people do it! Li Jiujin, are you willing to do this job?"

"Report to the chief, I'm willing." Li Jiujin stood up and answered firmly.

It seemed as if I didn't see the "little friend" who often drinks with me on weekdays and wink at him.

"Sir, am I worried that there will be no war! If there is a war, it will be done. On behalf of the brothers of the Fourth Battalion, I will express my opinion. You must be the commander. Don't be the three-edged military spear on your waist. Who do you want to do? Ensure that there will be four holes in one hole." Cai Yongguan, whose momentum was half weak, could only try his best to defend himself.

"No! It's said that three or six holes are at most, and one knife can reach two holes. Why are you two more? Are you not good at learning?" Li Jiujin, who had just stood up and expressed his opinion, asked with a smile.

"You know a hammer. The military spear in the Fourth Battalion is specially used to poke the waist. There are two holes on the belly and the back. Are there two holes on the waist? You can calculate it yourself. What is 2 2 equal?" Cai Yongguan curled his lips and used the unreliable "Wine and Meat Friend".

The officers of the Four Corps who sat around a big tree and used a large stone temporarily moved to serve as the conference table all laughed.

Don’t say it, this metaphor is quite appropriate. The so-called surprise weapon is just attacking him and going straight to the vital point! Pointing and waist are simply a must-have!

Seeing that the Thorn Head had surrendered, Tang Dao didn't talk much nonsense and continued to issue the military orders that had been drafted.

The defense came from the enemy in Changyang, and Tang Dao handed over to Gu Xishui and his mountain infantry company, which was beyond the expectations of the officers present.

In theory, that is because the four major infantry battalions now have military orders, and the only mobile infantry that the Four Army Regiments can still take out is the reconnaissance company, the mountain infantry company, and the cavalry battalion.

Being trapped by the terrain, the cavalry battalion's martial arts were scrapped half first. Even if it was to be put into combat, it would probably be dismounted as an infantryman, but that would be too wasteful.

The reconnaissance company has long been accustomed to using teams and squads as units. If you ask him to use the company-level unit as a field force, it would be too wasteful. After counting, it would be a mountain infantry company.

But after all, the Japanese army invested a lot of troops this time. Now there are only about 70,000 people. In any direction, the Japanese army will not invest less than one infantry regiment.

If you use a light infantry company with 300 troops to block an infantry corps, even if the terrain here is particularly against the road of the mountain infantry company, it is a bit too underestimated by the enemy.

If it were anyone, the nearly 10 to 1 force comparison would be trembling!

But Gu Xishui, the commander of the mountain infantry company, got up without hesitation and received the military order.

The reconnaissance company naturally did their old business, and the three main positions were all their activity areas.

Moreover, this time, with a walkie-talkie that can call within a straight line distance of 1,600 meters, the three-person team can notify Lu Sanjiang's company headquarters in less than one minute, and then transmit it to the regiment headquarters through the radio ordered as the "Queen Bee".

The regiment headquarters can conduct a comprehensive analysis and judgment of the information seen by dozens of eyes distributed on the battlefield, and then reasonably allocate the defense of the three main positions, with an efficiency of at least twice as much as before.

It can be said that the reconnaissance company's performance in whether it can defeat the Japanese heavy troops that are about to pounce on this time has accounted for at least one-third.

The regiment headquarters is located in a valley 800 meters behind Sifang Bay, where the logistics battalions and special agent battalions are constructing fortifications.

It will not only become the command center of the Four Army Regiment, the location of the field hospital, and the storage area for materials, but will also become the last line of defense on the left wing of the Shipai Defense Zone.

"If all three of you are lost, then I will wait for the Japanese to come here!" This is the last sentence Tang Dao added after issuing military orders to the three infantry battalions.

The three infantry battalion commanders all had a serious expression, which was equivalent to the Tang regiment who had decided to fight to the death here, and they were just about to raise the "death" flag on the top of the mountain that he had always regarded as treasures.

Everyone knows that once the "death" flag is raised, the entire regiment will not retreat even if it fights to the last soldier.

In the end, the cavalry battalion became the "small rib" for the entire regiment. The mountains of Xiling Gorge are not mountains in the north. Many areas are almost straight up and down. The mountain roads are extremely rugged, which is not conducive to the running of war horses. Moreover, if the Japanese army attacks, it is inevitable that the threat from the sky will come. If the bomb falls from the sky, people can hide in the narrow air-raid shelter dug in advance. What should we do if the huge war horses are?

These precious war horses were consumed in vain during the Japanese bombing, which was something that no one wanted to see.

Tang Dao thought about this issue over and over again on the way back. Fortunately, he remembered a detail. The 11th Division in time and space had hundreds of pack horses. The division commander Hu also considered this issue and specially ordered his military medical officers and units of the baggage troops to transport the horses to Zigui before the war started.

It is behind the stone tablet, and the Japanese will only focus on the stone tablet battlefield for the time being, and even if they want to go, it is extremely difficult to pass through the river surface at this time.

Not only has Shipai 6 large-caliber river defense cannons that can cover the entire river surface, but now the river surface in the Shipai area has begun to be fully deployed. If the Japanese want to pass, they can only conquer Shipai.

Just so, Tang Dao ordered the Cavalry Battalion to be the third reserve team of the entire regiment. The 389 cavalrymen of the entire regiment retreated to Zigui with 800 pack horses and 300 baggage troops. If the war goes well, once they fall into hard battles, the officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion will lead 300 baggage troops back to the battlefield, becoming the last force that the entire regiment can invest.

The cavalry battalion commander also wanted to object, but when he thought that the war horses he had been with day and night were like his comrades-in-arms relatives, he wanted to die in vain in the artillery fire because he didn't want to retreat, he could only accept this extremely helpless order.

But this is due to the limitations of the troops. Even if the Tang sword has the ability to reach the sky, it cannot allow the cavalry who can gallop on the North China Plain to be on the plains to walk on flat ground in such steep mountains.

The time for the three infantry regiments of the Four Army Regiment and the 11th Division to change defenses was nearly 3 days later than the division commander Hu thought. It took five days to be considered as the complete defense replacement.

However, the commander Hu, who received the news, was not angry rashly. After asking the reason, he found out that it was not that the Four Army Corps was not active in changing defenses, but that their marching speed in the mountains was too slow.

The most important reason for the slow marching speed is that it carries too much material.

"How much supplies can an infantry regiment have? Isn't it just a few thousand guns and a few cannons?" The Major General Chief of Staff of the 11th Division snorted angrily.

As a result, a list handed over by the staff directly made the chief of staff, who had just returned from the Zigui Logistics Base, suddenly open his eyes wide.

Not to mention the shells, bullets and food transported by thousands of pack horses, and how many of those things are, the Four-Road Group will not report them. The 12 40mm anti-aircraft guns dragged by off-road jeeps are the kind that are 12 40mm anti-aircraft guns that are dragged by off-road jeeps. This thing was only known by the lieutenant colonel chief of staff to consult the director of the Political Department of the Four-Road Group, otherwise they would not know what it was.

They are all long-term fighters, and the role of this anti-aircraft gun with a shooting height of up to 6,000 meters is very clear. It can be used as a cannon on the top and can be used as a cannon.

Just put this thing on the mountainside, and the Japanese 70mm infantry cannon was a mess in front of it.

Although the calibers are different, one is two tons and one is 200 kilograms. The kinetic energy of the cannon ejected from the bore is completely incomparable, so the power is naturally different.

And the four-way group dragged 12 doors over.

That's all, the Tang regiment of the Four-East Regiment has great magical powers and can even get 150mm heavy artillery from Rockefeller. This is well known to all senior generals within the Central Army. It is still within an acceptable range to get 12 40mm anti-aircraft guns.

The key point is that the Four-Road Group actually brought dozens of iron lumps that could blind people's attention.

That's right, that's the chariot company belonging to the Special Service Battalion of the Four Lines Regiment.

When 28 small tanks rumbled into the mountain road, the thick black smoke rose up directly confused the defenders on the positions along the 11th Division.

As one of the five main forces, they have seen tanks before, but it is the first time that they can drive tanks into such mountains.

Chinese soldiers would be confused by such small steel monsters who struggled to move forward in the mountains, but as their opponents, the Japanese cliffs that could only carry 75 mountain cannons and 70mm infantry cannons into the mountains would be beaten to tears.

Perhaps they wanted to scold their military experts at that time: I won’t pick any more hairs and make small bean diced!

This is the real reason why the four-line regiment marching slowly.

It was the 28 small tanks in the Chariot Company that made several chief officers of the Four Corps and the battalion commander of the Engineer Battalion Bai Shengchou turn white.

The mountain road is too narrow, and a jeep that can walk badly can only pass through.

That is, the TKS is small enough, which is a little smaller than the Japanese Type 94 light tank Xiaodian. Otherwise, this mountain road that can only be walked side by side with people and pack horses, where can I walk in?

But for the sake of subsequent battles, Tang Dao ordered that even if he was carrying the small iron lump of No. 28 had to be carried in.

The entire 600th battalion of the Engineering Battalion served the 28 small tanks, and there were three infantry companies assisting. If the road was not wide enough, the mountain would blow up the road and open the road. If there was water and deep ditch, then cut down big trees and build bridges on site...

Some large-slope tanks cannot be reached, because they really rely on manpower and pack horses. Dozens of soldiers dragged long ropes like boatmen and combined with more than a dozen powerful war horses to drag the tank weighing 2.6 tons to the cliff.

Really, that scene made the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division stunned again. In this broken place, monkeys couldn't climb up in some areas. The tanks used on the plains were used as basic power, and at most they were used as fixed turrets. What would you do with such great effort?

This time, it was not Tang Tuanzhao who was stingy and was reluctant to throw the tank away.

Tang Dao never thought that he would lead the Four-Road Group to a place like Shipai. The reason why he chose the "Cockroach" tank was purely to save fuel.

In this way, the four teams paid more than 20,000 oceans of gas for these 28 little guys along the way.

But this must be worth it.

When the Japanese army's pure infantry encountered these small knots of steel, they understood the helplessness and pain of the Chinese soldiers on the battlefield.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! It is because of the 28 "Cockroach" tanks that can pass through a 40-degree slope, Tang Dao has also made certain adjustments to the defense tactics of each battalion this time.

Originally, the China Theater Command provided tactical guidance to each department, and set up defenses on various highlands along the Shipai Central Position, and threw an infantry squad or an infantry platoon on a small highland. If the Japanese army wanted to advance, they had to pull out these highlands like nails.

During the Battle of Eastern Jin and Southeast Jin, the 17th Division and the 12th Division also adopted this tactic. If the Japanese army wanted to live there from now, they had to leave some infantry's lives as a way to buy money.

But that is also extremely unfair to Chinese soldiers. While consuming the Japanese army, they are also consumables.

What is consumed is not only life, but also will!

Tang Dao made a decision to remove the main positions of the three infantry battalions from the necessary high ground, and abandon the other small high grounds and put the Japanese army in and attack.

What are hundreds or thousands of people? It depends on who is strong. The platoon of the tanks and platoons responsible for assisting in defense have 9 TKS tanks. Good steel is used on the blade. Seize the opportunity to ensure that the Japanese can knock down their teeth.

Of course, making such a decision was not Tang Dao's impulse, but based on the extremely confident judgment of the light and heavy firepower of the infantry and artillery of the Four-Royal Regiment.

The largest caliber artillery of the Japanese army that attacked the mountains this time was the 75mm mountain artillery, which completely lost its former firepower advantage. Then they had to face the Four Corps, which had superior terrain and light and heavy firepower, which were all better than them. What did they use to fight?

Maybe it's all up to you!

Let them feel that they are okay, and don’t collapse with just one blow. They can only continue to increase infantry attacks. This is the most poisonous part of Tang Dao’s choice to give up the tactics of the surrounding unimportant small highlands.

Tang Dao's appetite was much greater than what the division commander Hu thought, and he was not satisfied with just defending the left-wing position.

What he wants is the lives of thousands or even more Japanese people.

Tang Dao stood on the mountain peak in the morning and stared at the clouds and rains of Wushan, which were praised by countless poets. The mist surrounds the mountain and is so beautiful, but what he heard was the rustling sound of the mountain wind blowing the leaves, just like countless people whimpering softly.
