There is still some time before the Japanese arrive, so Zhong Yi decided to inspect the city's defense deployment.

If you think you don’t need to build fortifications when fighting street battles, you’re a big mistake!

At that moment, Zhong Yi took Zhang Kongyi and Wang Zilong down the city tower. The south gate street was opposite the south gate. If the Japanese entered the city from the south gate, the place would be the first to be affected!

I saw a small group of soldiers building barricades in the center of the street.

Zhong Yi immediately stepped forward to stop and said, "Who asked you to build a barricade here?"

"I, I asked them to repair it. Is there any problem?" A faint voice came from behind.

When Zhong Yi heard the sound, he turned around and saw a tall lieutenant colonel officer in front of him. His tweed was so hot that even the edges were clearly visible.

"Room seat!" The lieutenant colonel officer saluted Zhang Kongyi.

The officer ignored Zhong Yi and Wang Zilong.

Like Zhang Kongyi, Xie Kangquan is both a local officer!

Zhang Kongyi pointed at Zhong Yi and said to the lieutenant colonel officer: "Battery Commander Xie, this is Staff Zhong of the Group Army Command, but now he is the commander-in-chief of the Kingsoft Guard Front Command, and I have to obey his command!"

After saying that, Zhang Kongyi said to Zhong Yi again: "Commander-in-Chief, this is Xie Kangquan, the commander of the 2nd Battalion."

"So it's Xie Ying!" Zhong Yi saluted, another martyr who sacrificed his life for the country.

However, in this time and space, Zhong Yi will no longer let them sacrifice in vain as in history!

He didn't hit the smiley person, and Zhong Yi gave face so much, Xie Kangquan felt embarrassed to hold him anymore, and immediately saluted Zhong Yi and said lukewarmly: "Commander-in-chief."

Zhong Yi respected martyrs like Zhang Kongyi and Xie Kangquan, but when he talked about command, he did not give any face. He immediately continued: "Xie Yingzuo, forget about the built barricades, there is no need to spend manpower to remove them. However, the built barricades cannot be garrisoned, especially the machine gun firepower cannot be deployed on the barricades!"

"What?" Xie Kangquan's face suddenly darkened and he snorted, "Can't you send troops to guard?"

Zhang Kongyi and Wang Zilong next to them also looked at each other. What does it mean? What is the operation?

After a pause, Xie Kangquan said again: "Can't build machine gun firepower? It's a joke. If you don't send troops or set up machine guns, how can you stop the Japanese? Just give way and let the Japanese drive in?"

Zhong Yi said: "I'll ask, if you put the machine gun in the middle of the street, what if the Japanese dispatched tanks or flat-fired cannons? Do you want your machine gun?"

Xie Kangquan fell silent immediately after hearing this.

Zhong Yi said: "The Japanese can kill your machine gun with just one shot!"

Xie Kangquan groaned and said coldly: "Then what are you good at?"

Hearing this, He Ajiu and Wang Zilong turned their gaze to Zhong Yi.

"Of course there is a way!" Zhong Yi paused when he said this, then pointed to the houses on both sides of the street, and said, "That is to build side fire as much as possible!"

"Side firepower?" Zhang Kongyi and Xie Kang were completely confused.

But Wang Zilong's eyes lit up instantly, a good idea!

Zhong Yi also said: "When the firepower is not superior, the defense party should strictly prohibit the construction of direct firepower points. Although direct firepower has a broad field of vision and a good shooting range, it is also easy to be destroyed by the attacking party's direct firepower! Although the shooting range of side firepower is not as good as the front firepower points, it is better in concealment and can effectively avoid the enemy's direct firepower!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi continued: "Once both sides are constructed with tight side firepower, cross-fire power can be formed without dead corners. The attacking party will not be able to move forward even if it has tanks and artillery with absolute advantages! This is also the main reason why you lose the first phase of the Battle of Songhu!"

In the first phase of the Battle of Shanghai, Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi led the five elite divisions of the Ninth Army, not only with a large number of tank defense cannons, but also with tanks to assist in the battle, but he could not control the only 3,000 Japanese Marines. Why? It was because the Japanese built a large amount of side-firing firepower!

In street fighting, the power of side fire is beyond imagination!

The US military, as powerful as later generations, can be said to be armed to the teeth, but in street fighting, it was still beaten by the guerrillas holding the Beggar's AK-47 assault rifle!

What do guerrillas rely on? They still have ubiquitous side firepower!

Although Zhang Kongyi and Xie Kangquan were old officers, they immediately understood after Zhong Yi said this.

At that moment, Xie Kangquan stopped saying anything and turned around and took his troops to the street houses to build a firepower point.

Zhong Yi said to Xie Kangquan's back again: "Battleman Commander Xie, remember to use a sandbag to seal the doors and windows! Otherwise, the Japanese will be having fun throwing a few grenades!"

"You don't need to say this, I know." Xie Kangquan said and walked away.

However, Zhang Kongyi gave Zhong Yi a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Brother, I am a top student who graduated from West Point Military Academy. I, Lao Zhang, am really convinced!"

Zhong Yi sneered, is this related to West Point Military Academy?

West Point Military Academy may be very awesome in the eyes of others, but it is nothing in Zhong Yi's eyes.

However, Zhong Yi did not say it out loud. After all, he still had to use the tiger skin of West Point Military Academy to bluff people.

Jinshan County is actually not big. It took less than an hour to go around Zhong Yi and his party.

However, after the inspection, Zhong Yi's brows suddenly frowned because he found that he had ignored an important issue.

Seeing Zhong Yi frowning, Zhang Kongyi asked, "Brother, is there still a problem with our defense deployment? If you have any questions, just say it directly, don't worry about Lao Zhang's face."

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Zhang Tuanzuo, is there any air raid shelter in the city?"

"Air Raid Shelter?" Zhang Kongyi nodded and said, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Zhong Yi said again: "You just say there is an air raid shelter?"

Zhang Kongyi said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Lao Chen."

After saying that, Zhang Kongyi sent an adjutant to find Chen Luyuan, the captain of the Jinshan County Security Team.

Chen Luyuan and Zhong Yi are both security captains, but Zhong Yi is only a company level, while Chen Luyuan is at the battalion level, and the Jinshan County Security Team is also as large as a brigade.

"Zhang Tuanzuo, are you looking for me?" Chen Luyuan nodded and said, seeing Zhang Kongyi.

Zhang Kongyi said: "It is the commander-in-chief who wants to find you. Is there an air-raid shelter in Jinshan County?"

"Air-raid shelter?" Chen Luyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "There is only one air-raid shelter in the city. As for the size, there are only more than one hundred people hidden, but..."

Zhang Kongyi said: "But what?"

Chen Luyuan said: "But there is an authentic tunnel that was built during the Ming Dynasty. Some of them collapsed, especially the exit was blocked, but most of them were still intact, and there was absolutely no problem hiding thousands of people."

"Is there any authenticity?" Zhang Kongyi was stunned.
