Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 479 Chapter 478, set up minefields, arrange artillery, and wait for them to arrive!

"Hello, Captain!" A greeting from the south of Yitiantian made the soldiers who were digging holes on the ground raise their heads, and then they saw their company commander Huyan Bao greeting Li Yuexuan.

Because they were already in a state of war, Hu Yanbao just stood up straight and did not salute. However, even though Li Yuexuan had changed into the same camouflage uniform as everyone else, the veterans still recognized the smiling man as their own Captain Peregrine.

"Hello, Company Commander 1, hello, comrades!" Li Yuexuan greeted everyone, then walked out of the narrow gap and came to the soldiers who were digging a pit.

What's the order not to let go of the narrow gap? He came out because he was afraid of accidents. He is still digging a hole, where can there be accidents?

"Platoon Leader Jueming, are you planning to bury bullet mines?" Li Yuexuan saw Zhang Jueming and asked while walking among the soldiers.

"Yes, Captain, I plan to deploy bullet mines! Didn't you say that a wounded soldier on the battlefield will hinder at least one soldier from taking care of him? This place is 600 meters away from our bunker, which is just the distance where a wounded soldier needs to be taken care of! If it's any closer, the wounded soldier might be shot by our machine guns!" Taoist Master Jueming was originally a machine gunner, and he mentioned the machine gun casually.

"Well, you are right! The Japanese have a lot of soldiers and equipment... ahem, although they can't compare to us, but we can't underestimate them. After all, a lot of ants can kill an elephant! Let me put it this way, you bury bullet mines 200 meters south of this side and across the 600 meters on both sides. I want to set up a large minefield!" Li Yuexuan said.

"In this way... about 300 bullet mines will be enough!" Zhang Jueming took a look and said, "Arrange it! I will let everyone be responsible for 10 points, so that they can be taken out after the war!" Zhang Jueming said.

“Well, you can go to the opposite mountain and imagine the route of attack, and then you will have an idea! By the way, the most important thing is not to forget the gold juice!” Li Yuexuan smiled sinisterly.

"Don't worry, these bullets, including the bullets in our guns and the bullets in the magazines, have been coated in gold juice. Although the taste is not very good, the effect is definitely strong enough!" Both Zhang Jueming and other soldiers have long known that coating bullets with gold juice can "enchant" the bullets, and of course they will not let it go.

"Well, that's good! Such wounded soldiers will not die for the time being, but if the wound is not cleaned in time, they will die! Tetanus can really kill people!" After Li Yuexuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back, and saw a row of soldiers led by Chang Sun Tieguai, holding wooden boards and laying mats one by one.

"Very good, we will use large pedals to arrange all the minefields in this area! Remember, all the load-bearing plates must be able to withstand a pressure of 50 kilograms! Want to know why? It's because such pedals will definitely explode when people step on them, but some small objects will not explode when they step on them! For example, what if the Japanese know that this is a minefield and drive some sheep over here?"

"So, we have to use a big pedal, a big pedal specially made for blowing people up! Don't worry that the Japanese will clear the mines, that's exactly what we want! In this way, the snipers and precision shooters in our battalion will have live targets to practice shooting! So, comrades, work hard, and hit the Japanese hard when they come!" While Li Yuexuan was speaking, he saw a group of people hurriedly running out from the narrow gap, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"Director, we are here, please give us your orders!" The speaker was Xu Nan, the company commander of the Second Heavy Company of the Arsenal. Their mission was to be responsible for the artillery reinforcement mission on the Yixiantian side.

"Captain Xu, you're here just in time! Are these the leaders of the artillery groups? Show me your fence division drawings!" Li Yuexuan stretched out his hand. "Director, this is the fence division map we have surveyed during this period, including the topographic map of the surrounding 5 kilometers!" Captain Xu handed a thick booklet to Li Yuexuan.

"Why are all the survey fences made of heavy mortars?" Li Yuexuan frowned and asked, "Don't tell me that you only know how to use heavy mortars in battle and have forgotten the technology of 82 mortars!"

"Director, we only have heavy mortars... But don't worry, if you give us 82 mortars, we can still use them well!" said Captain Xu.

"Well, that's how it is... Xiong Da, come here, I'll write a report and you can send it to Minister Zhang for his approval!" Li Yuexuan took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote a report, and asked Xiong Da to send it away.

"I have requested eight of the latest mortars for you, and also requested 8 rounds of ammunition. So, you will form a temporary 240 mortar combat company with the artillery platoon of the first battalion. You will be divided into three groups, each with three mortars, and the remaining one will be given to me. Then, re-measure the fence range for me, with the focus on the 82-meter range on the south side of the thin sky."

"The straight-line distance of the Line of Sky is 1400 meters. The 1000-meter range beyond the Line of Sky is exactly the best distance for the 82 mortar to exert its power. When the battle comes, you must be ready to respond at any time!"

"Another point is that you should immediately survey southwards. Based on the map of the heavy fence, take the southern entrance of Yixiantian as the center and re-determine new coordinates 5 kilometers southwards!"

"Want to know why? Please read in the newspaper that the Japanese have dispatched an artillery regiment, with 36 mountain cannons bombarding the other side of the Zhuozhang River, and some artillery have crossed the river! So, when the battle starts, where will the Japanese mountain artillery be deployed? This area to the north of Xijing Town is the farthest artillery position, right on the edge of our heavy bombardment!"

"So what I'm worried about is, if the Japanese really put the artillery position here, or farther away, to the south of Xijing Town, it will be difficult for us to counter them! I asked you to re-survey it just to prevent this! Of course, the best case scenario is that the Japanese find that they can't destroy our fortifications and take the initiative to move the mountain artillery position forward, then... hehe!" Li Yuexuan sneered.

"Director, I understand. I'll arrange it right away!" Xu Nan was so excited at the thought of fighting against the Japanese mountain artillery unit that he immediately arranged for the soldiers to go surveying.

In fact, with the existing drawings and materials, re-surveying can be completed easily, and it is just necessary to redefine some objects.

"By the way, arrange the artillery observers to the front line for me. I have laid a dedicated telephone line for you. When artillery fire is needed, it must be accurate!" Li Yuexuan instructed again.

"Understood!" The soldiers around answered loudly. Li Yuexuan did not avoid the comrades around him in the previous conversation, and everyone heard it clearly. So, knowing that there will be artillery reinforcements and bombings in front of their own positions at any time, this is very exciting, this is what war is like!
