The first thing that comes to mind is a hilly mountain that is artificially piled up loess!

"These mountains are all piled up based on the terrain survey results outside Hengyang South City. Due to the limitations of the terrain, the width may not be enough, but the height is no different." Tang Dao pointed at these mountain fortifications and said.

Fang Xianjue's eyes were staring at these earthen mountains that were cut into cliffs close to 90 degrees, with horror in his eyes.

Although these small hills face the attacking side, it is a cliff, and if people at the foot of the mountain want to go up, they can only build cloud ladders or stack human ladders to climb upwards, it is a headache, but in fact this is just the smallest link in this mountain fortification.

Above the cliff, there are trenches and well-connected transportation trenches, connecting all the trenches to form a main mountain defense position!

At the hub of the trench, there is a 1.8-meter-deep fox pit, and there is a simple bullet-avoiding hole next to the pit. Judging from the soil layer of the bullet-avoiding hole that is as thick as 1 meter, it should be no problem to defend against 75mm mountain cannons.

"Sir, this is to prevent the Japanese army from being angry and irritated to attack our mountain main position with artillery fire, and to give a small number of observation posts and officers and soldiers who stayed on the front line to block the attack." Tang Dao explained in response to Fang Xianjue's puzzled gaze.

"This single-soldier bullet-avoiding hole has been specially tested with various types of artillery. If the wooden board is used as the top and wood as thick as human legs is used as the beam, it can prevent 75mm mountain cannons from bombarding on the top.

Of course, if time is too late, we can also build an underground fortification with steel and cement, and fill it with a 1.5-meter-thick soil layer, so that we can prevent 105 howitzers and 150 heavy artillery."

After walking around the mountain, Chang Xianjue realized why Tang Dao only left fortifications fortifications for the observation post on the main position to prevent artillery.

It turned out that Tang Dao hid the main force behind several mountains.

On the hillside behind several mountains, there are tunnel fortifications hidden underground, and the main forces are hidden in it. They can replenish soldiers at any time on the back slope of the hillside at the back slope to the main position ahead according to the needs of the battle situation. The movement is secret and rapid, and the enemy opposite the position cannot be seen at all.

Most importantly, this backscene tunnel has sufficient protection to minimize the threat of Japanese artillery and air.

Both offense and defense are excellent, which refers to this kind of mountain fortification!

"It's amazing that people who can design such mountain fortifications are considered to be studying. There are really many talents in your group, which is enviable." The top students who graduated from the third phase of Huangpu can only sincerely admire them.

According to his rough estimate just now, if an infantry battalion was placed in such a mountain, he would have at least two infantry regiments and an artillery battalion assisted to capture the position. Even the 5-to-1 offensive and defensive ratio was a bit unlucky.

Tang Dao smiled slightly, pointed his hand to the front of the mountain and said, "There are still fortifications there, so Chief Fang will go and have some suggestions."

When you approach the saddle below the cliff and between the hills, the deep trench that is 5 meters deep each came into your eyes, and there was a layer of water deep into the calf in the trench.

"Go and put the water in a row so that the commander can see more clearly." Tang Dao waved at Shi Dakuan.

As the soldiers opened the drain valve, the layout at the bottom of the trench gradually exposed, and Xian Jue took a breath of cold air.

There were wooden boards flat below the deep trench, and steel nails nailed to the sky were covered with mud. Although they were covered with mud, Fang Xian believed that if anyone stepped on it, his resistant little feet would definitely be pierced. Not to mention that the Japanese-equipped cowhide boots were not good, even a pair of iron boots would not be enough.

On the battlefield, if your feet are injured and cannot walk, the ending can be imagined.

In addition to this "siduous" arrangement, the outer walls on both sides of the deep trench are slightly different, and they are slightly tilted outward toward the enemy side, which makes the human body slide down, while the side facing the defenders is 90 degrees upright, just like a trap for catching shrimps and crabs, making it easy to come in and out.

Standing at the bottom of the trench without nails, looking up at the top of the trench that was as high as 5 meters high, Fang Xianjue, a soldier who had been through many battles, couldn't help but feel chill in his heart. If it were the ones who fell into such a Jedi on the battlefield, he had sharp steel nails covered by water under his feet, and he would have pierced his feet through, and he would have thought about it but couldn't get out, what should he do?

As Tang Dao pointed his finger, the tiger general who had experienced many battles smiled bitterly on his face. What a guy, Tang Dao doesn't leave anyone with any way to survive!

It turned out that there was a bunker at the ends and corners of the deep trench. Two-thirds were embedded in the cliffs, and one-third reached into the trench. It was made of steel plates, logs, stones and steel bars and cement. The outer layer was covered with loess, which was hidden and strong.

The bunker placed four machine guns at the shooting ports on both sides of the trench, and all muzzles pointed to the inside of the deep trench.

Japanese soldiers basically couldn't see the bunker before entering the deep trench, but as soon as they came in, they would be fired by machine guns in the shooting holes on both sides of the bunker.

With such strong fortifications, even 70mm infantry cannons are difficult to destroy, let alone grenades and grenades carried by infantrymen.

To put it bluntly, if you encounter this thing in a deep trench, you can only wait for death besides waiting for death.

Following Tang Dao into this kind of firepower bunker built with great effort, the interior is much larger than imagined. The bunker is equipped with a shooting room, ammunition room, and a cover room. There is also an upward tunnel that leads to the main position on the mountain. This passage can ensure that all the food, water, ammunition and other materials in the bunker can be replenished, and can also transport troops and transport soldiers to the rear.

"This kind of bunker is well made, but I'm afraid I won't have this time!" Fang Xianjue sighed after turning the bunker.

"Although this configuration is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it allows the soldiers in the bunker to fight with peace of mind without worrying about being a disposable consumable. When facing the enemy, morale can continue to be high." Tang Dao said.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "And as long as there are engineering design drawings and enough raw materials, the engineering troops can only build such a bunker according to the drawings, and a platoon of engineers can only build such a bunker in 2 days. My four-line regiment has a total of 5,000 people, but after being an engineering corps for a year, such bunkers, as long as they provide enough materials, there is no need to give me ten days and half a month, I can only give me one week, and I can let him spread all over the south of the city."

"Haha! Okay, what I'm waiting for is your Commander Tang's words. The Japanese army attacked, the mountains and trenches in the south of the city, and the bunker group was all handed over to your Four Corps. The 10th Division, the commander of the division, Ge Youcai, will be dispatched by you. Your Tang regiment will take General Ge to carry the big bag." Fang Xianjue laughed loudly.

The sharper the fortifications of Tang Dao, the greater the killing of the Japanese army. He even has confidence that an infantry regiment owns this fortification and a Japanese infantry brigade can make him feel bloody when he fights.

Even Fang Xianjue felt impatient and hoped that the Japanese would fight Hengyang as he and Tang Dao imagined.

Yes, maybe even this tiger general himself did not realize how much influence his best friend who died in the Battle of Changde last year had on him, so great that he would even rather suffer the war in Hunan Province than fight to the death with the Japanese army, avenge the best friend, and get the blood debts from the Japanese people for the three children left by the best friend.

Fang Xian is definitely not a saint, he also has selfish intentions. He is extremely eager to use a battle to prove to the general Xue who was deliberately trying to drive him out of the 10th Army that his judgment on the situation was correct, and the general Xue was outrageously wrong.

Although this proof is extremely cruel, it requires countless soldiers to pay blood and life!

But is war something you won’t come if you don’t want it?

Obviously not. War always requires life as firewood and casualties as rain to gradually extinguish from the heat.

This is an era that is diverted by the will of a small number of people. Most of them can only go with the flow. Even brave generals like Fang Xianjue and Tang Dao can only try their best to maintain their only slight awakeness in this stormy wind and waves, hold the gun in their hands tightly, and try to break through the stormy waves that are constantly devouring life and see the day when they are finally calm.

"At this time, we have support from Liuzhou Airport behind us, and air supremacy can be guaranteed. The Japanese army has great risk of fighting during the day, so using the dark night to carry out sneak attacks will become the main combat method of the Japanese army. This kind of broken wall, the deep trench can be seen clearly during the day, but at night, the sight is trapped, and the daytime observation is one thing, and waiting for the close reaction is another." Tang Dao, after taking Fang Xianjue to see all the fortifications of the mountain defense position and deploy firepower, said his final summary statement.

Fang Xianjue's mind now had a scene after the real battlefield occurred.

The position firepower configuration developed by the Four Lines Regiment is basically based on the principle of "concealment first". Whether it is the entire main position or the deep trench, all light and heavy machine guns will be fired sideways, and direct fire is strictly prohibited. They form a cross-fire network to cover each other, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese army and use infantry artillery to remove the fire point.

This also reflects the Tang Dao's defensive firepower strategy, which is not mainly about "blocking", but is placed in and attacked with the cooperation of finely designed field fortifications.

It is to control the entire attack line of the Japanese army in a firepower network composed of light and heavy weapons on the defending side. When the Japanese army began to charge, they could only crawl forward in the direct firepower composed of rifles and submachine guns of infantry. Fortunately, the Japanese army passing through this firepower network arrived at the 90-degree cliff and had to attack upward by setting up a ladder or stacking arhats. At this time, there will be machine gun strafing that crossed the cliff and overwhelming grenade cluster bombing.

When they were dizzy by light and heavy machine guns and grenades, in order to survive, the Japanese soldiers had to search for cover everywhere and temporarily hide. At this time, they would roll into the trench without thinking. The Japanese army thought that as long as they entered the trench, the defenders could not see them or attack them, and they would be safe, but they did not know that once they entered the trench, they would die faster.

The six-centimeter-long steel nails at the bottom of the ditch will make them feel pain. The whip formed by eight machine guns in the bunkers on both sides of the ditch will sweep the Japanese army like dominoes!

But for the Japanese army that had already attacked here, they would be pressed and driven away by machine guns, grenades and mortars on the main position, and would be fired by machine guns below. One of the dilems?

For an adult who has enough thinking, no one wants to choose, but they have no choice. The most common way is to face the difficulties and then become a dead soul under a gun above or below.

This broken wall and deep trench are like an elaborate killing machine, step by step, killing intent at every step. What kind of tactical qualities are nothing in the face of this fortification and firepower configuration.

Unless the Japanese used cannons to level the mountain and killed all the defenders on the mountain, there was a possibility of rushing up.

Fang Xianjue's mind had already appeared in his mind as the Japanese army attacking the mountainous land south of Hengyang City.

"Excellent! It's really a genius to design these people who are deep defense. Can I meet them?" Fang Xianjue stood on the broken wall, his heart was extremely excited.

"In addition to me, several heads of the regiment headquarters went out to purchase supplies a few days ago. The Japanese are coming. We must not make some preparations in advance?" Tang Dao said with a smile.

He could not tell the person in front of him that these trench designs were not from others, but from the person in front of him, his chief of staff and the battalion commander of the engineer.

And the deep trench in front of the broken wall has a name in the future, called "Fang Xianjue Trench"!

Yokoyama's 11th Army's 100,000 troops were also bleeding in front of such a killing machine.

It was once recorded in time and space that before approaching the HY city, the Japanese army suffered a shocking loss of more than 40,000 people just in the battle for the suburbs. This number includes Lieutenant General Sakuma, the commander of the 68th Division of the Japanese army, the disabled Chief of Staff of the 68th Division, and Major General Shima Genyoshi, the commander of the brigade.

"Okay! Those who can prepare for your future will have no one else except you, Captain Tang." Fang Xianjue nodded.

"Now tell me what the 10th Army is going to do now. If you need to make some position arrangements in the suburbs of Hengyang City in advance, I can arrange for the 3rd Division and the Preparatory 10th Division to deploy first. However, I can't do anything in the city now. After all, it is Mayor Zhao's territory. Although he is my friend, he is also under Commander Xue. If there are big moves in Hengyang City, it will be difficult for him to explain to Commander Xue, who will not have a major war in Hunan Province."

"My opinion is exactly the opposite of Chief Fang's opinion." Tang Dao shook his head.

"At this time, the Japanese army's eyewitness will definitely be everywhere inside and outside Hengyang City. If the 10th Army now makes key fortifications to the south of the city, and the Japanese army has enough time to adjust their deployment, it would be better to wait until the Japanese army's combat intentions are completely exposed before building.

But it was too late in Hengyang City. It was not enough to build fortifications on the ground, so start to come underground first.

For example, starting from the 10th Army's 3rd Division headquarters in Hengyang City, from now on, underground passages will be secretly excavated to ensure that all the ground telephone lines are blown up, communication soldiers can still reach various positions through tunnels, and even transport troops to the occupied positions through tunnels.

In short, when the street fighting day, these well-connected underground passages will greatly help my defenders."

"You are inspired by the tunnel warfare in southern Hebei! I heard that your four-way team led the people to empty the underground of the entire village in southern Hebei, and made the Japanese dizzy." Fang Xianjue said.

"Hehe! Chief Fang was wrong. It was not the underground of the entire village, but all the underground. When my four-way group was ordered to be transferred from North China, 80% of the villages in southern Hebei had interconnected tunnels, and the military and civilians could be transferred at any time. Just the loess dug out, hundreds of artificial hills were built, and we hollowed them out, and we made many shooting holes inside, so that the Japanese troops running from the wilderness could be shot and killed from a distance." Tang Dao chuckled.

Fang Xianjue took a deep breath and gave Tang Dao a thumbs up very sincerely.

No wonder this person suggested that he dig tunnels in Hengyang City. It turns out that he almost hollowed out the entire underground in southern Hebei.

No wonder the Japanese North China Front Army, which has nearly 300,000 troops, had no choice but to take the Four-Road regiment in the Taihang Mountains. In the plain area of ​​southern Hebei, the Four-Road regiment was killed by the Four-Road regiment, which was killed by the Four-Road regiment.

Tang Dao is a monkey who runs away when he is scratched in the mountains, and a fox who is drilled into the ground when he is bitten in the plain. Who can defend against this special?

With such a strong general and a strong army, no matter how many people Yokoyama brought, I would even break his mouth full of teeth.

In the evening of the sunset, the Lieutenant General, who was about to be famous all over the world, suddenly felt extremely confident.

However, perhaps even he himself did not expect that Hengshan Yong, who had been regained the throne of the commander of the 11th Army, was also staring at Tanzhou and Hengyang.

The eyes of this Japanese lieutenant general who is known for his tenacity are also full of determination.
