Chapter 153
Hearing Ma Qian'an say this, the rest of the command center put down their work at the same time and all looked at it. Just now, they had guessed the content of the conversation between Commander Liu and General Peng, and opened a deadlock on how to execute the orders. Everyone was racking their brains to think about it, hoping to help the troops attack Guanjiadang, but in the short term, no one came up with any tricks. Now, this big man actually said there is a way, is it true?
Political Commissar Deng shook off the match, gently leaned his body on the back of the chair in his seat, raised his head slightly, and looked at the little "famous general" with a calm face.
"Let me tell me!" Commander Liu cherishes his words like gold.
Ma Qianan paused slightly, looked at this and that, and finally spoke with difficulty, "Long, it's hard to say in the house, please come outside."
Commander Liu showed a calm and patient personality and did not impose pressure urgently. Seeing that although Ma Qian'an spoke a little, he still seemed confident, a trace of peace suddenly surged in his heart.
"You have to! The little guy wants to go outside to borrow the east wind, so we two go outside to cheer him." The heavy Sichuan dialect sounded, and Political Commissar Deng stood up tacitly from his seat and walked out of the command post first. A large group of staff members also wanted to follow him. Commander Liu glanced at him and retreated back. They all went out. Who will run the command post?
After leaving the command center, Ma Qian'an first raised the telescope hanging around his neck, and looked at the attack terrain on the front and explained to the Division Commander Liu next to him: "Long, look in my direction!" Ma Qian'an raised his right arm and pointed a finger at the cliff in front. On the cliff and on the small platform under the trench, a group of soldiers appeared in everyone's telescopes. The soldiers were taking the ladder. The soldiers standing on the ladder from time to time emerged from the ladder, and shot the Japanese army at the top of the ladder, and then jumped off the ladder quickly to avoid the Japanese shooting.
This kind of combat mode is not possible. It is impossible to capture the Japanese positions. If you can't rush up, you will be beaten if you emerge.
Ma Qian'an did not ask Chief Liu to wait for a long time, and then said, "When I came just now, I went to the bottom of the cliff and asked the soldiers there. They said that the soil on the moat was loess and very thick!"
Loess? "Wait, wait!" The clever Commander Liu immediately woke up, "You mean, dig a hole?"
"Yes! Dig a hole!"
Commander Zheng of the 769th Regiment next to him suddenly realized and slapped his hands suddenly, "Hey! Great solution! It's enough for the Japanese to drink a pot!"
Commander Liu smiled, and he felt a sense of comfort all over his body. The feeling just now was really accurate. The little horse really made a good suggestion, and it was helpful! He put down the telescope and patted Ma Qian'an's shoulder with a smile, "Xiao Ma, it's very good! Just do it like this!"
Seeing that Commander Liu immediately adopted his "suggestion", Ma Qian'an felt relieved and felt proud. Compared to the slightest uneasiness caused by thinking about stealing Liu Shuai's plan just now, he was feeling like eating ice cubes in the dog days of summer. This is shameless and can still get praise, that's great!
Who should I send? Who should I lead the hole and attack? Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng looked at each other and asked each other at the same time, "Who will go?"
"I!" "I!" Ma Qian'an and Captain Zheng were standing next to him, and they both tried to fight for this position in unison. Seeing someone fighting, the two glared at each other in dissatisfaction.
Commander Zheng shouted, "I have elite soldiers in a hundred battles."
"I have a fierce general in a hundred battles!" Ma Qian'an was not willing to be outdone, and immediately called Li Fengshan and Wu Bijiu who were waiting at the door. Two fierce and evil men blocked the door, which really added a lot of "glory" to Ma Qian'an.
The two of them had a strong desire to fight and had a quarrel, and they had to smooth things over.
Several people discussed the specific division of labor for a while, and Commander Liu formally issued an order. Ma Qian'an was arrested and Commander Liu ordered him to take the lead in carrying out this combat deployment.
Commander Liu's order was exactly what Ma Qian wanted. If he could succeed, he would not be able to get rid of the credit. Looking at Commander Liu's smiling face, Ma Qian'an suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. This arrangement was probably something that Commander Liu did on purpose, right? Is it to create a chance to make contributions for himself? As a reward for coming up with a good idea? Oh, it's hard to guess.
Soon, the 769th Regiment organized a "Gopher Drill" team. The soldiers were all composed of original miners, and digging was professional. The Chinese were not lacking in humor, and giving the team a nickname was not a difficult task. Commander Zheng also got the position of commando commander and cooperated with Ma Qian'an's digging work.
Digging a hole is a technical job. First, you must avoid the trenches dug by the Japanese. Otherwise, you will crash into the Japanese trenches while digging. Second, you must have the right angle. You must always dig a door hard and do not pay attention to this point. Either you dig the hole to the center of the earth or the ground will pop up before you dig it. This is not a matter of seeking death!
Ma Qian'an not only directed the digging of the hole, but also volunteered to be responsible for the measurement. He climbed onto the shoulders of the two soldiers, quickly came out to observe the angle of the slope, and then straightened his body, measured his fingers with a few small objects he carried with him for a short while, and then quickly looked at it. After obtaining the data, he jumped down. Within a few minutes of his measurement, the soldiers around him could not wait to dig the pickaxe, and the entrance to a big hole had faintly appeared. So fast! Ma Qian'an exclaimed.
He looked around and called a warrior wearing a steel helmet, "Come here and borrow your steel helmet for a while."
The warrior who was called took off his helmet for no reason and handed it to Ma Qian'an, with a look of reluctant to let it go.
"Is there water?" Ma Qian'an looked at the small kettle hanging around the warrior's waist. They were all Japanese things. It seemed that this warrior had the habit of picking up rags. Well? His idea was not right. Ma Qian'an secretly despised himself. This warrior should have the habit of paying attention to collecting spoils.
"It's gone, No, look, the kettle has broken a hole." The little soldier showed the broken kettle to Ma Qian'an, which further confirmed Ma Qian'an's guess. Is it all the broken kettle?
"No water? Then pee!" Ma Qian'an smiled like a prank.
The soldiers who were shook by Ma Qian'an for a long time blushed and refused to untie their pants, which made the soldiers around them laugh.
"Stay away quickly, I'll make a level." Ma Qian'an was not stingy with the warrior's face at all, and the more anxious he urged him.
After a while, the "leveling" was finally done, and the helmet was not pissed, that was just a joke.
The digging work was carried out quickly and effectively, and several soldiers from Jingxing coal miners were working hard to guide the project. In the hands of experts, this kind of earth-made cave is really not worth mentioning, and it has no technical content at all, so just dig it hard.
The digging work was progressing smoothly. The enemy at the top of the trench could not see the movements of the Eighth Route Army behind the trench, and was still strictly guarding the slope. He did not expect the "working" of the Eighth Route Army under his nose.
Ma Qian'an entered the cave with serious guidance, and in a moment he was driven out by the Eighth Route Army of the "unbearable" old miner. A guy with a face full of oil and sweat showed an "extremely caring" expression and said, "You are tired and resting. In fact, we can do it faster without you."
Don’t give face! If you have the ability, don’t use my helmet “leveling” and “protractor” of wood chips. Ma Qian’an, who was squeezed out of the hole, muttered with an unbelievable expression, walked out of the hole and looked at the willow tree.
On the east side of Liushuwan, Jia Yonggen, who had already finished his weapons, was busy commanding the soldiers to dig individual holes. Jia Yonggen, who was active, successfully convinced the battlefield commander of the 25th Regiment at Liushuwaning with the small temptation of a few boxes of bullets, and brought his two companies and half of the cavalry company soldiers of the Central Guard Regiment to the half-mountain and the eastern side of Liushuwan. The other half of the cavalry was placed in the safety area on the north side of Liushuwan with his horses.
The commander of the 25th Regiment didn't care that Jia Yonggen was also in Liushuwan. Liushuwan was so big, so there were more than two more people. It would be better to have more assistant defense forces. However, he still didn't understand why Jia Yonggen had to work hard to dig individual holes, but he didn't ask.
Jia Yonggen wanted to coordinate the overall situation. He walked everywhere and checked the quality of the soldiers' projects. He now increasingly felt that Ma Qian'an's warning made sense. There was no hidden place in this bare willow tree trough. If the Japanese really came to bomb, it would be difficult to deal with.
When he checked a place near the top of the ridge, he suddenly heard a rumor of argument. When he looked closely, he felt happy. It turned out that these guys were all his treasures. They were the most outstanding machine gunners in the group. They were also the "apprentices" who were begging Ma Qian'an's sect a few days ago and were taken by Ma Qian'an and taken in by Ma Qian'an.
"What Ma Detachment said is that the direction of the northeast should be 7-5o, and the direction of the east is 15-oo. Look, where did you get the baseline? You can't just press the compass all, it has deviations." A round face seriously "accused" of a beard.
"What if he doesn't matter, we just have a machine gun, and we don't have a unified baseline for the artillery group. I just need to find the same thing with the horse face. Do you think this is the case? horse face?"
A warrior with a long face standing next to him looked at his beard in anger and raised his leg to give him a kick, but he had to answer "It's right, that's right."
In front of several soldiers was the "sprayer" six-tube rotary machine gun brought back from S1 through great difficulty. The machine gun was placed on a cyclic tripod, and there was also a simple compact disc and a high and low angle disc for angle measurement. These two things were processed at the Huangyadong Arsenal.
The horse-faced warrior was observing the sky with an air command mirror in his hand. The appearance of this thing looked like a thick bamboo tube, and was being held horizontally by the horse-faced in front of him. This command mirror was found by Ma Qian'an in the arsenal warehouse. I don't know the spoils of a battle. The soldiers below seized it and sent it to the arsenal for imitation. For some reason, they were thrown into an inconspicuous corner and picked up by Ma Qian'an. Thinking about it, there was no anti-aircraft machine gun, let alone anti-aircraft cannons. There was no such thing as the air command mirror. What was it for imitation? It was useless.
With the command mirror, Ma Qian'an was overjoyed and asked Jia Yonggen for a few good machine gunners for training, forming the first "high-tech manual dense array air defense system" of the Eighth Route Army.
