Huang Jiqing, who walked out of the tunnel fortifications, patted the dust on his head and looked at the desolate mountains that had been blasted by the shells. He exhaled a heavy breath that seemed to have the smell of dust and mud. It felt like he could still breathe normally. It was really
good.
In order to test the strength of the tunnel fortifications built by the soldiers, he actually experienced it himself and even brought himself along with him. The plump Colonel Liu was definitely one of the craziest humans he had ever seen.
At this moment, Liu Lang had no time to comfort the minds of future Chinese geologists.
"How are you, Dakui, how do you feel?" Liu Lang asked calmly while standing on the tunnel, squinting his eyes and scanning the mountain.
"The anti-slope tunnel tactic allows soldiers to avoid artillery fire when the enemy's direct-fire artillery fires. Although the parabolic falling method of the curved-fire artillery poses a certain threat, it cannot accurately strike the tunnel because the impact point of the artillery shells cannot be observed, and most of them are mortars.
This kind of small artillery, as long as the tunnel fortifications are built strong enough, enemy shelling will not pose much threat to the anti-slope tunnel." Chi Dakui replied solemnly.
If Chi Dakui still doesn't understand the role of Liu Lang's anti-incline tunnel tactics after such personal experience, then Chi Dakui, who has been a company commander for several years, can really go home and take care of his children.
The soldiers' eyes flashed and they listened quietly to the conversation between the two officers. What the officers said were all principles that could be used to save lives at critical moments. Those who were too lazy to listen were destined to not have to listen much in the future.
"Okay, then let me ask you again, if the attacker quickly sends people to capture the ridgeline, which is your position on the top of the mountain, after the shelling, what should you do?" Liu Lang nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.
Liu Lang actually wanted to take this opportunity to teach Chi Dakui and the 200 veterans a lesson about mountain defense warfare. As for how much they can learn, that will only happen after the Battle of the Great Wall half a year later.
You know, only those who are alive can be considered qualified in their academic performance.
The so-called slope is the inclined part from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. The front and back of the slope are relative to the enemy. Take the high ground controlled by the enemy as an example, the slope facing the opponent is called the forward slope, and the slope facing away from the opponent is the reverse slope.
The anti-slope tunnel tactic uses the enemy's blind spots for artillery fire on the anti-slope. Direct-aiming artillery fire is just a decoration for the anti-slope. There are many blind spots for shells hit by the curved artillery on the anti-slope. For example, shooting fortifications excavated under the large rocks on the anti-slope are built.
, garrison caves, covered trenches, where personnel are basically not exposed to the open air. According to the Japanese army in World War II, this is called a cave position.
As a result, the damage done by enemy aircraft and enemy artillery fire is much reduced. Another use of the anti-slope position is to prevent the enemy from taking the back route to encircle it. For example, two mountains are in front of and behind the enemy. In the past, the enemy used artillery fire to
Suppress the front mountain so that you can't move. Even if you can't retreat, you can't support the back mountain. Then he concentrates his troops to occupy the back mountain and cut off your back. The people in the front mountain are basically dead. They can't hold the position and the people are basically gone.
It's over.
If you want to do this, first of all, you can't suppress the people in the front mountain with artillery fire or planes. Our main position is facing the back mountain. If you attack the back mountain, okay, show your back to my guns in the front mountain.
Just say it. This is called counterattack. Of course, the anti-slope position is not invulnerable. The key lies in the control of the ridge. Whoever occupies the ridge has the initiative. If the enemy occupies the ridge, he can modify his compulsion.
The cannons will knock out your firepower points one by one, leaving you powerless to fight back. He can even bring in a few direct-aiming artillery pieces and large-caliber machine guns to seal you in a bunker and cover his demolition hands to kill you.
you.
The ridgeline is the outline of the top of the mountain that can be seen from both sides as a fixed point. In fact, this is also the main position for mountain defense warfare.
What Liu Lang asked Chi Dakui was the key to the anti-incline tunnel tactics.
"As soon as the enemy's artillery fire stops, the brothers in the tunnel will definitely rush up and re-enter the position as soon as possible." Chi Dakui replied without hesitation.
It seems that he has already considered the issue Liu Lang mentioned.
"Then have you ever thought that the enemy's artillery pause is just a decoy? Ten minutes later, when you enter the position, and he suddenly launches an artillery attack, how much will your losses be?" Liu Lang's eyes narrowed.
This tactic has been used countless times in anti-slope tunnel tactical offensive and defensive battles. The Chinese have used it, the Americans have used it, and the Japanese have used it, and it has achieved miraculous results in the early stages of the war. Every defensive force
It took hundreds of casualties to come up with countermeasures.
"This...sir..." Chi Dakui hesitated to speak.
"I know you want to say that you will leave a few observation posts on the main position during the enemy's artillery attack, and then notify the brothers to come up when the enemy infantry begins to attack. But you are worried that the enemy's artillery fire will be too fierce, but you will send it in vain.
The lives of brothers." He had stepped onto the top of the mountain and silently stared at the trenches that had been blown into pieces of scorched earth. He said softly. His tone gradually became serious: "But have you ever thought about what awaits everyone if this place is occupied by the enemy?
Will it be a catastrophe? The enemy can use a machine gun to block the entrance of your tunnel. Your entire company of brothers will not even be able to see the sky and die under the enemy's crazy bullets and grenade fragments. They may even
With the Pyrotroopers, your brothers will be nothing but charcoal."
Chi Dakui's face turned red.
Liu Lang seemed not to have seen it, and continued: "The ancients said: Compassion does not lead the army, which does not mean that the lives of soldiers are not taken seriously. But, how can there be victory without sacrifice? The more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of our independent regiment, for our China
The great rivers and mountains will not be trampled to pieces by the iron hoofs of foreign invaders, and they will not hesitate to die. You, Chi Dakui, and the soldiers under your Chi Dakui will not hesitate to die for all your brothers. Do you understand this principle?"
"Of course, it doesn't mean that you will die if you serve as an observation post. The observation post can be placed in a blind spot. The fortifications reinforced with steel plate concrete are enough to withstand the attack of the 155MM howitzer air wave, as long as you are not directly hit." Liu Lang saw the solemn expressions on the soldiers' faces.
, said with a slightly slower tone.
"Sir, what if we are hit directly?" a soldier asked boldly.
"Direct hit? Hehe, then it's all over with a bang, and you don't even have to bury it." Liu Lang glanced sideways at the soldier and bared his teeth in a smile.
"Why don't you need to bury the child?" The old soldier touched his head and was puzzled by Liu Lang's smile.
"Stupid, you've become a scumbag, and you still have to bury your shit!" Another soldier replied slowly.
"Oh! If I want to be an observation post, I have to put away valuable things in advance. Old Zhang, remember to help me give the money to my mother and send it back." The veteran nodded matter-of-factly.
"Hey, we are each other, just don't embezzle me when the time comes."
"Go away, who cares about your few ocean dollars? I have saved much more than you."
"Haha, I said you didn't go to Yihonglou to have fun last time in the county. You did it for a long time to save money to prepare for a wife. Let me tell you, you will be at a loss. The Sichuan woman's butt, those thighs, and
Those breasts are so soft and smooth."
"Ha ha"
Hearing the conversation between the two soldiers, the surrounding soldiers burst into laughter.
Everyone was laughing, including the fat guy who was a little stern just now, even though the topic had seriously gone off the rails.
Huang Jiqing was the only one who didn't smile. Looking at the group of big-headed soldiers who smiled with gray faces and were not reserved at all, and even pinched their teeth in an extremely wanton manner, Huang Jiqing actually had the urge to cry.
