Since the defense has been strategically focused on Yamaguchi, there is nothing to say next... Just develop Yamaguchi's defense.
This is the strength of us Chinese soldiers again...
I may be a bit arrogant when I say this... We are Chinese soldiers, and we cannot have much understanding of Afghanistan's climate and geology. Even if we have been fighting here for several months, we can't compare
Afghans know better!
But building fortifications... the understanding of terrain is only one aspect. What is more important is to know how to build it to better exert the performance of various weapons, and to know how to do this fortification to better prevent artillery, air defense, and anti-aging
infantry……
You should know that we have all fought wars, not only fought wars but also dug cat ear pierced. We have not only dug cat ear pierced, but also built fortifications on the damp and loose soil of Vietnam.
In terms of geology, it would be much simpler to build fortifications in Afghanistan than in Vietnam... The reason is that Vietnam is too humid, and the soil is easy to dig, but it collapses in just a few seconds. Especially in the rainy season, sometimes a trench is dug
It's useless. The next two days of heavy rain will be full of water, and it will collapse in a disastrous way, and it will be useless at all.
Afghanistan is much better... Although it is difficult to dig fortifications, the reason is that the soil is too hard... This is caused by long-term drought. Just imagine... a land has not been nourished by rain for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It's like this.
But it is precisely because the trenches built in this way are more compact and durable, and the tunnels built will be more solid and reliable... The biggest advantage is that you don’t have to consider drainage, let alone worry about the tunnels being filled with rainwater.
Or it collapsed because of this.
Of course, considering that the tunnels we built must be air defense and anti-cannons, they must be supported by logs... If this is really impossible, the mountains in Afghanistan... are bare and dozens of miles away
There is no tree... But the Xigeo Valley is different. There is a river in this valley. If there is a river, it is easy to irrigate. If there is a river, it will be easy to irrigate. There will be large areas of plants. So the forest is also full of here and there, and it has been cut down.
You can use it.
It can even be said that the trees here are particularly strong... This is also related to the hot weather in Afghanistan... There was a text in our primary school Chinese textbook, which talks about the annual rings of trees. If one year is drought, then that one
The annual rings of the year will be particularly narrow. If the annual rings of that year are particularly wide, it means that the rainfall for that year is particularly sufficient.
But...what if there is a drought every year?
The result is that the tree grows slowly. The annual rings are narrow every year, which means that the dense branches are very strong... Although it is only a thick calves, it has to be chopped several times with an axe before it breaks.
The hand is also heavy. This is the best raw material for building tunnels... The characteristic of tunnels is that they require solidity.
In addition, the soldiers had a lot of experience in building tunnels when they were in Vietnam, so they could show their skills now... They held an axe and taught the guerrillas to build A-shaped fortifications and T-shaped fortifications... What else is there
Shoot the fire, reverse the fire, etc.
Among them, the more troublesome ones are air defense and artillery protection...
It’s okay to prevent artillery... The fortifications we built on the Vietnam battlefield can also prevent artillery. First, we must consider which direction the enemy’s artillery was shot from. Then we will be in the back slope or the dead corner of the artillery fire.
Build fortifications so that enemy artillery will be difficult to threaten our fortifications.
But the problem is that the battlefield in Afghanistan is different from the battlefield in Vietnam... On the battlefield in Vietnam, we set up a line of defense with the Vietnamese devils, and the Vietnamese artillery fire can only come from one direction. However, this is not the case in Afghanistan... The characteristic of the battlefield in Afghanistan is that guerrillas use it.
The Soviet army occupied the main cities and transportation lines... The Soviet artillery range was very long, and it was only tens of kilometers at any time, so the shells might come from any direction. What the Soviet army had to do was to take the artillery along the
Just drive the road to an open land and calculate the elements.
Of course, the actual combat is not that simple. Afghanistan has many mountains, and the average altitude is as high as one thousand meters... There will be a three- or five-kilometer high ground at any time... If such a high ground is blocking the Soviet artillery, it would be
There is nothing to do. Especially the place where we are is a valley... It can be said that there are mountains everywhere next to it, so the chance of Soviet artillery fire finding gaps is very small, unless they found it on a certain high ground
The open land is down and down... This is possible, because many roads in Afghanistan go up and down the mountain along the high ground.
These are not what we need to consider... As the saying goes, guarding against it is not possible. Since we do not know which direction the Soviet artillery fire will come from, we have to assume that the Soviet artillery fire will come from any direction... Otherwise, we will want to change it when the war begins
It's too late.
But will there really be fortifications that can defend against shells from any direction?
There is really...that is, to build fortifications on the ridge...The ridge is a special place. It is the ridge position we often talk about before.
The ridgeline is of course an important military important place on a high ground. No matter which side seizes this important place, it can gain a great advantage... Here, the infantry can attack the enemy with his head, and shrink his head and get out of the enemy's sight.
It disappeared, and it was a place that was exaggerated to say that it was a place where you could beat the enemy but could not beat us.
In fact, the function of the ridgeline is not only... The ridgeline can be said to be a natural watershed on a high ground, that is, both sides are obliquely downward... It is like a standing blade, its area is relative to
A high ground is almost negligible... so the chances of shells hitting here are very small.
Just imagine... If a batch of artillery aimed at the fortifications located on the edge, it would be possible to shoot a shell, if the shells were dispersed with the fortification as the center of the circle. Then at least half of the shells would directly cross the fortification because they were shot high.
This is also true in air defense. The damage to the ridgeline fortifications is first reduced by half with the same accuracy.
So there is no need to think about it, just build fortifications on the edges.
Needless to say, we know the troubles of air defense... The firepower on the helicopter from the Soviet army can be said to be without any blind spots, and the accuracy is much higher than that of long-range artillery. This gives us only one way to resist.
That is to dig deeper...using thick layers of soil to resist the possible blows.
