Chapter 215 The mill that is about to be formed

The Sixing Camp has left!

The large construction site in Songjiang is still fighting at night.

When I was tired, I lay down by the campfire and smoked a cigarette for a few minutes. When I recovered, I would get up before working.

Everyone in Songjiang City is squeezing their last bit of physical strength for their future, because they still want to go home. Although the chance is slim, why not fight? If you miss tonight, you may not even have the qualification to fight.

The entire Songjiang City is like an armed fortress, built to the naked eye.

The firepower construction planned by Tang Dao is gradually taking shape.

Countless trenches connect houses in blocks and extend to all parts of the city walls.

The six large air raid shelters are like big spiders. The seven or eight trenches extending from the air raid shelters are like long spider legs, winding and extending to all parts of the city. The six infantry regiments of the 67th Army will use these six large air raid shelters as garrison holes and command centers to establish their own defense zones.

The other two infantry regiments act as supplementary regiments. If the infantry regiment on the front line suffers too much casualties, they will take the lead and at least let the infantry regiment on the front line breathe a sigh of relief.

Six fire points were excavated in each city wall, with steel plates and logs as the support inside, with one infantry cannon or rapid-fire cannon as the main firepower, and two heavy machine guns as the secondary firepower.

Above each firepower point, that is, on the battlements of the city walls, reinforced sandbags are also used as infantry bunkers, which is enough for two infantry squads to enter. In order to prevent the city wall from being mass-bombed by Japanese invaders, traffic trenches were built behind each infantry bunker. Only when the Japanese army stopped shelling the infantry and began to attack, the infantry would climb up to the city wall from the traffic trenches.

Although there are as many as six infantry regiments to defend the four walls, in fact, the internal firepower points and positions above the walls will be invested only in six infantry companies at a time.

Defensive war is a war of attrition.

What is consumed is not only weapons and ammunition, but also human life.

Tang Dao's conclusion is cruel, but it is proof of the final results of several large-scale urban defense wars in World War II.

A few years later, the famous Battle of Krale broke out in the Red Polar Bear Land. The warring sides invested more than 2 million troops, the death toll exceeded one million, and the casualties in a day were tens of thousands. This was just a soldier.

The 850,000 residents who failed to withdraw from the city were left, and only 1,500 people were left after the war.

Compared with the battlefield where hairs can stand up straight by just looking at numbers, China and Japan are now investing only 100,000 troops in the city offensive and defensive battle, which is simply a child playing house.

However, consuming materials, life, and all the courage you can think of is the essence of urban defense war.

The infantry regiments of the 67th Army are all standard regiments, each regiment has a force of 2,500, and six infantry regiments have more than 15,000 people. Calculated using the coldest formula for life, it is enough to consume 15 rounds.

If the Japanese army wants to consume all of these more than 10,000 people by counting based on the exchange ratio of 1 to 2 on the offensive and defensive sides, they may have to pay a reorganized division to accompany them. It depends on the 6th Division and the 18th Division with the title of "Imperial Double B" that have the courage.

As for the slap in the 114th Division, Tang Dao did not count them at all. One of the division commanders who only dared to bring one infantry brigade here, what is there to pay attention to?

In addition to infantry, the most important thing is of course the artillery that poses the greatest threat to the Japanese army.

The 26th Division contributed its last four infantry cannons, which were filled into the firepower point inside the city wall without hesitation, but the two mountain cannons that were regarded as treasures did not pay much attention to.

The reason is that the 67th Army does not lack mountain artillery. The proud and high muzzles of the three mountain artillery battalions and one field artillery battalion made Guo Dajun's eyes all green, and he almost didn't envy them.

Of course, I followed the flow and handed over the two mountain cannons to the Sixing Battalion and took them away. The 67th Army of the "rich" did not need it, but it does not mean that the 43rd Army, which has been suffering, doesn't mean that it doesn't want it. If it doesn't work out, it will be the treasure of the army when the 43rd Army is rebuilt in the future.

Both heavy mortar battalions were placed around air raid shelters not far from the city wall. Once they encountered heavy artillery and air threats from the Japanese army, these not too heavy artillery artillery soldiers could still take refuge.

But mountain cannons and field cannons are not good, and there are no fortifications. Once they are found to be reconnaissance by Japanese reconnaissance planes, they will be dead.

Because Songjiang is so deep, where can mountain cannons and field cannons be transferred? Since they can't run far, they can only resist.

Use stronger fortifications.

In such a short time, it is naturally impossible to build such reinforced concrete permanent fortifications, and semi-permanent should be OK.

Three mountain artillery battalions and one field artillery battalion were placed in semi-permanent fortifications with logs and sandbags as the main materials. The fortifications were not only half sunk underground, but also camouflaged on the top. For this reason, manpower and material resources were used to build a spire similar to the roof.

That's all to avoid being detected by Japanese planes.

What is more important than disguise is naturally that the fortification itself must be strong enough.

Cut the main material that can be used as the roof beam as the top of the fortification, and cover it with one meter of sand and two layers of sand bales above. It can basically withstand the bombardment of 75-caliber mountain cannons. Even if it is a 150-caliber heavy cannon, as long as it is not hit on the front, this fortification that protects the artillery will not be completely destroyed.

In order to avoid the terrible explosion of shells, there will be a small basement of 3 meters deep underground near the fortification. It is said that the basement is actually a simple hole. Because time is tight, it is naturally not enough to care about the beauty or not. It digs a hole deep underground, and then supports it with wooden pillars removed from the house, and then digs out an inclined incline to go up to the ground to facilitate gunners to carry shells.

This special fortification for artillery has opened firing ports with an area of ​​more than 2 square meters on all sides, which basically ensures that the curved howitzer can project shells into most areas outside Songjiang City.

These were built based on the fortification design drawings of Tang Dao. From the beginning, Tang Dao did not intend to let these artillery and Japanese artillery fire at the target. They had only one target, Japanese infantry within five kilometers of the city.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! That means, I don’t care about how you hit me, anyway, I just work as infantry.

That's because, although the Liao-made 13th field cannons and mountain cannons equipped by the 67th Army are basically made based on Krupp's 75mm caliber artillery, and their range and power are no worse than the 41 mountain cannons equipped by the Japanese army, but as the attacking side, the more maneuverable and flexible Japanese artillery can transfer positions at any time. At this time, there is no anti-artillery radar, and the Japanese artillery positions can be calculated based on the ballistics.

If there are advanced wireless equipment, Tang Dao can get back to his old career - special forces, go to lurk outside the city, find artillery positions, and report target coordinates to his artillery remotely.

But unfortunately, there is no way that the longest-range communication equipment equipped by China and Japan is the heavy field radio station.

No matter how awesome Tang Dao is, he can't be wandering around with such a big guy on his back!

Instead of wasting ammunition to try your luck and suppress each other with the Japanese artillery, it would be better to kill and injure the Japanese infantry in large numbers.

The three artillery battalions are divided into three directions, which can basically ensure that at least twelve cannons can kill Japanese infantry in any direction on the four-sided city walls.

As a cannon field cannon, it is naturally mainly targeted farther areas, such as armored targets.

In order to ensure that the four artillery battalions could fire at the established targets in time, Tang Dao even placed the position of the artillery observer on the city wall. For this reason, he spent a lot of manpower to dig up the artillery observation posts above the city wall, and even specially buried several telephone lines and several telephones for each observation post.

Once the telephone line is blown off by artillery fire, not only communication soldiers are responsible for the maintenance, but also infrequently used flag verbs will be used.

To this end, the four artillery battalions borrowed almost all the telescopes of each infantry battalion except the chief officer, and they needed to obtain the artillery coordinates as quickly as possible.

Before the 67th Army's 30,000 troops arrived, these were just blueprints and a pile of ruins drawn on the drawings, but after five or six hours of labor, they gradually began to take shape.

The civilians may not understand it very much, but the officers and soldiers of the 67th Army and the 43rd Army have all experienced great wars, so they naturally know how powerful these fortifications are.

Just because of this, the Japanese want to break in, they don’t even think about it without losing ten thousand lives. Even if they enter the city, there are even more cruel street battles waiting for them.

According to the plan, each regiment, battalion, company, and even squad have its own defensive areas, such as a house where you conquer the living room, but there will be resistance in the bedroom and the backyard.

According to Deputy Director Tang of the General Staff, every inch of land in Songjiang City will become a position.

Too ruthless.

This is the first idea that every battalion-level commander who has obtained his own defensive area planning map.

They had no doubt that when the scarred Japanese troops broke through the city wall with joy, they would find it in great despair. What awaited them was not the delicious fruit of victory, but the real battle had just begun.

They just knocked on the door of a large mill.

The rotating millstone that had begun to be driven by the officers and soldiers on both sides was the only flesh and blood of the soldiers on both sides.
