The landmines are purely anti-infantry mines. Just like Daxiong said, judging from their size, they should not be very powerful.
But everyone present is a professional soldier. Who doesn’t know how to kill and injure a large number of the enemy’s active forces in offensive and defensive battles? In fact, wounds are more useful than simple killings. A wounded soldier needs at least two to four people to remove him from the battlefield.
If we continue to do so, it will take up a lot of medical resources.
This infantry mine, which is as big as a tin can, is enough to blow away a person's feet and even the area below the knees. It is an absolute weapon for infantry defense.
However, the surprises that a few disabled veterans brought to several generals were definitely not limited to these unexpected infantry mines.
Because several disabled veterans can be considered old people who have lived in Songjiang City for more than a year, the Army Lieutenant General was naturally "not ashamed to ask questions" and told the veterans his plan to build a defensive circle based on the Songjiang City Wall, hoping that they could come up with something.
Opinion.
Of course, if a few veterans hadn't unexpectedly brought such a large number of shady infantry mines to the 43rd Army, don't even think about an army lieutenant general discussing a city defense plan with a few young men. Most of them were just win-overs from the superiors.
It was just a small trick by his subordinates. In fact, even the Army Lieutenant General himself, who took the initiative to ask questions without shame, did not really want to get useful answers from several disabled veterans.
However, Yu Xiancheng understood it clearly. No wonder this man’s first order was to ask the Songjiang security commander to evacuate the entire city’s people outside the city, even using tough methods. Look at the evil vulture that flashed out of him at that moment.
Looking at his eyes, Yu Xiancheng believed that if Wang Gongyu failed to complete the military order before 12 o'clock, I'm afraid he would really use the head of an army colonel to kill chickens and monkeys. What he would kill were chickens like an army colonel, but the people in Songjiang would be shocked.
These monkeys.
Because he had retracted most of his troops in the city to prepare for street fighting with the Japanese who were about to arrive in Songjiang. It was the most brutal street fighting among all offensive and defensive battles. Only among the stacked houses and streets could the Japanese naval guns and heavy artillery
will be ineffective. The entire 43rd Army will turn every street and every house into a position. This kind of offensive and defensive battle has no incisive tactics to base on. The only thing the attacker can do is to move from building to building.
Search and capture, either the defender will die or the attacker will perish.
But after thinking about it, Yu Xiancheng could only praise it. The number of Japanese troops who landed at Jinshanwei was as high as 100,000, but the 43rd Army only had only 10,000. If it were the other way around, the Chinese would outnumber the Japanese ten to one.
They can still put up a good fight, but the Japanese army not only has a strength of 100,000, but what is even more frightening is that they have at least a hundred heavy artillery and large-caliber naval guns from light destroyers cruising on the Huangpu River. The range of 140 and 127 naval guns
More than 10 kilometers away, all the naval guns on the Huangpu River six kilometers away are firmly within the shooting range of the small Songjiang City.
This huge gap in terms of troops and equipment made even a soldier with an iron will like Yu Xiancheng feel despair. However, the army lieutenant general who directly gave up the field battle and went all out to prepare for street fighting used this kind of disparity.
The gap was minimized. No matter how many Japanese troops there were, it was impossible for all 100,000 troops to pour into the city. No matter how ferocious the artillery was, it was impossible to really blow up everything within the city wall of nearly 3 square kilometers into a piece of white ground. The Japanese
If they had that skill, the 43rd Army would have fulfilled its military orders without fighting. Let their artillery fire for three days and three nights. What's more important is that the Japanese army would never waste artillery shells so much. With their daily urine
look.
Street fighting seems to be the most feasible idea at present. However, once street fighting is prepared, the 43rd Army will not stick to Songjiang for three days and three nights like the military order from the Third War Zone. Instead, it will become to stick to Songjiang until the end.
One person.
Because the Japanese army with huge military superiority must surround the four gates and attack from four directions. No Chinese soldier will be able to walk out of the city again.
Yu Xiancheng, who wanted to understand, couldn't help but look at the Army Lieutenant General with a calm face in fear and admiration. No wonder Lang Tuanzuo did not deliberately explain how he would advise this Army Lieutenant General before leaving, but said that he would obey the Army Lieutenant General's command in everything.
That's it, and we can say with certainty that no matter how powerful the Japanese army is, the 43rd Army will definitely be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Of course Yu Xiancheng didn't know that Liu Lang not only had confidence in the army lieutenant general, but also in all the officers and soldiers of the 43rd Army. In the big battles in time and space, the Japanese army participated in the attack with far more troops than only 4 infantry regiments.
The 26th Division of the 43rd Army, and the former 26th Division did not even have a mountain cannon, and the heavy machine guns were much fewer than those of the Central Army. Even the fortifications were only 1.5-meter-deep trenches and sandbags, but they fired
Even the teaching corps and the tax police corps, which are armed to the teeth, have failed to achieve results.
Even though they only had 600 people left in the end, they were no more than an infantry battalion. The Japanese army facing them was also scarred. This Sichuan army almost used their flesh and blood to fight the Japanese army at a one-to-one exchange ratio. It was the best.
In the entire battlefield above the Songhu Division, regardless of strategic gains and losses, just looking at the comparison of personal casualties and damage to the Japanese invaders, the 26th Division of the 43rd Army was the division-level unit that performed best on the Songhu battlefield, bar none.
That is one of the reasons why Liu Lang is convinced that man can conquer nature.
No matter how powerful the weapons are, they must be mastered by humans. As long as humans are not afraid of death, there will be no weapons in this world that can defeat the humans who created them.
So this time, Liu Lang did not come up with any strategies or tactics to act as a wise man, because the 43rd Army had the most important trait in defeating the Japanese army, and bravery was enough.
Sensing Yu Xiancheng's gaze, the indifferent Army Lieutenant General smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows: "What, Colonel Yu, do you regret staying? It doesn't matter, the little devil still has..." He raised his wrist
He looked at his watch: "If they break through the defensive position of the 62nd Division of Jinshan Guard in half a day, this place is still 50 kilometers away from Jinshan Guard. You and your family can leave after dinner."
His face was extremely serious, not teasing, but just firm. In fact, he used this way to tell his two deputies that he had made up his mind and no further persuasion was needed.
In this world, there has never been a way to have the best of both worlds. One can fulfill military orders and escape unscathed. If he disobeys orders on the battlefield, not only will he not survive, but the entire Sichuan Province will be implicated. When it comes to deserters, everyone will think of Sichuan.
Save. Since you must fulfill the military order and you cannot escape unscathed, then fight the Japanese! If you don't make it easy for me, I will also hurt you to the bone. The Army Lieutenant General's decision is very Sichuanese.
"Hey, Commander Guo, you said it too late. Not only are my brothers and I staying here, my brothers from the Independent Regiment and the 23rd Army Guard Regiment are also coming to Songjiang." Yu Xiancheng also replied with a very calm expression.
"If nothing else happens, it won't be long before the Third War Zone will notify Commander Guo of your reinforcement number."
"Okay! It's Brother Pao. Then I, Lao Guo, will wait for the brothers to come over and have a good fight with the little devil." The Army Lieutenant General was overjoyed.
No matter what, it is always good news to have reinforcements, and they may also be independent regiments with strong combat capabilities. The other two generals also had joy on their somewhat serious faces.
Humans! After all, we all don’t want to die. Even if we have already made up our mind to die, it is natural to be happy to think that things may turn around. The difference between dying one day earlier and dying one day later is not small.
"Sirs, you are going to have a street fight with the little devils in the city!" Daxiong is a veteran, so he naturally understood what he meant. He dug into a file cabinet in the basement for a long time and took out a roll of drawings. "Here."
These are the underground pipe network engineering drawings that our Jiangsu and Zhejiang branches have donated to Songjiang County over the past few years. Do you think they are useful?"
"What? Is there an underground pipeline network?" Several generals were immediately overjoyed.
This kind of construction design drawings are more useful than maps. Not to mention whether the pipe network is useful, just by looking at these drawings, you can figure out which streets and street entrances are the most important in Songjiang County. Then they can assign plans to each infantry regiment based on the streets.
Deploy the defense area. As for the fortifications and troop deployment in the defense area, naturally it is left to the regiment and battalion commanders to worry about.
When they opened the first chapter of the drawings, they were delighted to see the cross-shaped construction drawings of two avenues running east-west and north-south. The designer of this underground pipe network construction drawing was very careful and included the entire construction drawing.
Songjiang County is presented on the construction drawings in a digital form. There is no need to look at the map. Under which street the pipe network passes, which house it passes, what intersections the street has, and how wide the street is, everything is recorded clearly.
But that's not the most awesome thing. When I opened the construction drawings of the pipe network and saw the diameter, underground depth, thickness and strength of reinforced concrete, several soldiers were dumbfounded. They were good at fighting, but the construction of buildings was really
Not their strong point.
There is no need to ask those "Tian Can Di Que", just by looking at their equally confused eyes, you can tell that they spend a lot of time drinking, eating and eating, but they certainly don't spend a lot of time reading or writing.
Lieutenant General, why don't we just stop looking at the drawings and go directly to the underground pipe network that passes under this building?
The generals finally understood the data of five meters deep underground. An underground pipe network that integrates underground drainage, street light wires, and telephone and broadcast communications is buried five meters deep underground. If it were not for the ladder made of steel bars on the shaft, there would be no way to go.
Jumping down will definitely break your legs.
When they got to the bottom of the pipe network, all the soldiers, including Yu Xiancheng, were stunned. It turned out that the diameter was 2 meters, which was such a big circle! It was not a drainage pipe that an adult could run with his head held high, or even
, they can also carry long rifles on their backs and pass through here without even bending their waists.
They can use this underground pipeline network to transport companies and battalions of troops to any place that the pipeline network can reach. As long as there are no Japanese at the exit.
The person who built this thing is definitely a wealthy person.
"Our General Manager Ji said that since we are going to do it, we must build a century-old project. No matter how heavy the rain is, we will not be afraid of being flooded." Daxiong, who was also the first to go down to the underground pipe network, stammered the explanation.
........
Are you worried that water from the Huangpu River will pour in? General Manager Ji must have been flooded by heavy rains when he was a child, or almost drowned.
