Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1296, dig! dig! dig!

Jiading. Changjing Village.

The headquarters of the 67th National Army. The atmosphere was tense.

Mainly worried about Japanese air raids. Therefore, the military headquarters is very scattered.

The entire Songhu battlefield is flat. There are no decent mountains at all. It's very difficult to hide.

Once discovered by Japanese aircraft, they would immediately be strafed and bombed.

Then the people on the ground were in tragedy.

Combat troops can stick together with the Japanese invaders. But the military department can’t!

With a radio, how could he stick to the Japanese invaders?

It is destined to be a very passive battle.

According to the arrangements of the 15th Army, the three divisions of the 67th Army, the 107th, 108th, and 112th Divisions, have all been put into battle.

According to Zhang Yong's tactics, all units stayed as close to the Japanese invaders as possible.

Reduce the casualties caused by the Japanese heavy weapons as much as possible.

In the beginning, it did work. The Japanese invaders were once forced to the point where they could not proceed.

The Japanese Third Division once suffered heavy losses.

However, the Japanese invaders also had brains after all. And very cold. They quickly found a way to crack it.

That is, once it gets into a melee, it will be immediately covered by artillery fire.

Well, it's the cruelest kind. The Japanese invaders themselves and the national army were all covered by artillery fire.

The Japanese invaders were extremely fanatical. He doesn't take his life seriously at all.

They are more than happy to die together with the national army. They even lured the national army to attack.

It is often the national army with superior strength that launches the attack. For example, there are four hundred people in a battalion. This is how a disabled squadron fought against the Japanese invaders.

As a result, the Japanese invaders deliberately laid a trap and used a hundred Japanese invaders to lure 400 national troops to attack. Then use artillery fire coverage.

The national army suffered a huge loss.

It took four hundred people to exchange for one hundred Japanese invaders.

dilemma.

If you don't attack, you will be killed by heavy firepower from the Japanese invaders. It's just like increasing casualties in vain.

If they attack, the Japanese invaders will lure them to death again.

Don't know what to do.

Later, he used a small force to harass and died together with the Japanese invaders.

Once you really go up there, you can never come back.

Go up one, sacrifice one.

Go up a hundred, sacrifice a hundred.

Not a single one survived.

There are no miracles under fire.

The battle has reached this point, and it can no longer be described as cold.

Completely numb.

Fill them in one by one.

Whether it is the Japanese invaders or the national army.

This is true.

"The Japanese are so crazy. It's really..."

Wu Keren shook his head helplessly.

He had never encountered such a **** and cruel battle.

Every day is a drain.

The number of troops is decreasing every day.

Or three hundred.

Or five hundred.

Sometimes, thousands of people were killed in one day.

Go up and attack. All were killed in action. No one injured. As much as you go up, you will be devoured.

Only in other sporadic battles are injuries possible.

Zhang Yong was about to speak. Suddenly, the map showed six red dots approaching quickly from a distance of 60 kilometers.

It's a Japanese aircraft. The flight direction is the 67th Army Headquarters.

"Japanese aircraft!"

"Disperse and hide!"

Zhang Yong reminded hurriedly.

Everyone dispersed in a hurry. Then hide each other.

The radio station and other things were also turned off in a hurry. Then he took it and hid it in a nearby trench.

The nearby trenches were dug deep and topped with timber. It was covered with thick soil. On top of the soil is original turf.

Logically speaking, it would be impossible for the Japanese aircraft to be discovered. There shouldn't be any bombs dropped.

However, who can say for sure about this kind of thing?

Zhang Yong got into the trench. Found it very damp inside.

Because the excavation is very deep, groundwater seeps through very deeply and requires frequent drainage.

There is no machinery. All we can do is arrange manpower to scoop out water. Now that the Japanese planes are attacking, we can't scoop out water, so we can only watch the groundwater gradually accumulate.

The red dot is getting closer...

"Rumble..."

Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance.

It was the Japanese plane that dropped the bomb. It seems to be a 100 kilogram aerial bomb.

Although, the 460mm naval gun of the Yamato battleship is very exaggerated. However, compared with aerial bombs, they still pale into insignificance.

An aerial bomb, even with a minimum yield of 100 kilograms, is not comparable to an artillery bomb.

In this kind of soft mud, a large pit two meters deep can be blasted.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

Japanese aircraft continued to drop bombs.

Zhang Yong saw it. This comes prepared.

The goal is clear.

The information should have been obtained in advance.

"What's over there?"

"Field hospital..."

"Well…"

Zhang Yong's cheeks suddenly tightened.

A field hospital!

Got bombed…

Hold your head high. Don't want to think too much.

Now is not the time to be sentimental. No time to grieve.

In this unsolvable dilemma, preserving as much strength as possible and delaying time is the only way out.

"Now, even the presence of troops is a problem. It's very dangerous."

Wu Keren said slowly.

Japanese aircraft were invincible. Come and go as you please.

If a large number of national troops gather on the ground, they will definitely be spotted by planes.

Once discovered, Japanese aircraft would launch an attack.

Then, the national troops on the ground will suffer heavy casualties. In the end, he didn't even have the ability to initiate a fight.

Around Luodian, many national troops were killed and wounded before they even entered the designated positions.

Indiscriminate bombing by Japanese aircraft. May also direct artillery coverage.

The national army units finally reached the front line, and their remaining combat effectiveness may be less than 30%.

How to fight this?

Wu Keren really doesn’t know anymore.

Zhang Yong doesn’t know either.

He only knew that the battle on the Songhu battlefield could no longer continue.

Continuing to fight will only consume the last elite. Now, daily consumption is meaningless.

Of course, this is from a military perspective. As for the political angle, I don't know.

He has no control over other troops. But the troops you supervise must be in charge. We must find a way to preserve our strength.

This does not mean abandoning friendly forces. Rather, the overall strategy has collapsed.

However, he thought so, but in fact, he couldn't do it.

It is impossible to evacuate privately.

It was impossible to leave the other troops alone. Then retreat on your own.

"How about Huang Wei's 67th Division?"

"It's a bad situation. Three out of ten."

"Well…"

Zhang Yong frowned secretly.

Finally sighed helplessly.

Huang Wei has a division of 10,000 men. It's probably almost gone.

He is also someone who doesn't know how to be flexible. He always led his troops to exchange fire with the Japanese invaders near Luodian.

Frankly speaking, Zhang Yong felt that there would be no results. But there are some things that cannot be taken at face value.

The 67th Division is indeed wasting away.

Very cruel.

However, by fighting in Luodian, they can hold back the Japanese invaders in Luodian.

If the 67th Division had not struggled with the Japanese invaders in Luodian, the Japanese invaders would have marched straight in. It will make the national army more passive.

Therefore, tactically, Huang Wei is a nerd. But strategically, he was right.

If everyone was as "smart" as Zhang Yong and just wanted to preserve their strength, everyone would have turned around and ran away.

If it were not for the high-ranking generals to commit suicide, the country would have perished long ago.

well…

"Keep fighting."

Zhang Yong said slowly to Wu Keren.

Compassion does not command troops.

There is no better way now.

It can only be endured.

It can only be consumed.

When one division is exhausted, another division will be taken up.

When one army is exhausted, another army will be added.

The 67th Division was exhausted, and the 51st Division was on top.

The 51st Division was exhausted, and the 107th Division was on top.

If all is used up, Army Commander Luo Zhuoying will come in person.

It's that simple.

Luo Zhuoying came up first, followed by Zhang Yong.

wrong. Zhang Yong will come now. Let’s go and see the nerd Huang Wei first.

"Zheng Guangyi."

"arrive!"

"Follow me!"

"yes."

Zhang Yong set out quietly with more than thirty soldiers.

No one else takes it. Order them to retreat to the back. The same is true for the tax police corps and the teaching corps.

March during the day. Very dangerous.

Don't dare to come into contact with the Japanese invaders easily. To avoid being killed by the Japanese invaders.

Fortunately, the radar map is very powerful. After wandering around, they finally successfully encountered Huang Wei's troops.

"Are you from the 67th Division?"

"yes…"

"I am Zhang Yong, Inspector of the Military and Political Commission. I have been sent by the Commission to visit you."

"Stop talking nonsense! Is there anything to eat?"

"have."

Zhang Yong hurriedly took out some dry food.

The hungry officers and soldiers came to rob them one after another. No matter what kind of inspector he is.

At this time, even if you are appointed, they will still grab it.

They are really hungry. All were starving.

Tired again. A soldier was eating and suddenly fell down. He actually fell asleep on the spot.

Zhang Yong:…

well.

Move forward silently.

Discover that the ground is no longer the ground.

All dug up.

All are trenches.

High, high, low, twists and turns. Looking around, there is no decent flat land at all.

All dug up.

All are trenches. Staggered vertically and horizontally.

Stunned.

This is…

People feel safe walking in the trench.

Even if the Japanese invaders come to shoot at us, we are not afraid. Lie down in the trench and your chances of survival will increase dramatically.

The trench is not a straight line. There are a lot of turns. There are even right angles. There is a U shape. There are even ones in the shape of "Feng". Can effectively avoid aircraft strafing.

"you…"

"Mr. Wang taught us to dig this."

"Which Mr. Wang?"

"That's Commander Wang of the 51st Division!"

"Wang Yaowu?"

"Yes. Commander Wang said that when fighting the Japanese invaders in the plains, the only way to avoid bloodshed is to sweat. He led the 51st Division to dig a large number of trenches around Luodian, turning the entire ground into trenches. Regardless of whether the Japanese invaders We are not afraid of artillery fire or aircraft bombing. Unfortunately, we are slow to learn."

"this…"

Zhang Yong suddenly gave a thumbs up.

Wang Yaowu is Wang Yaowu after all.

To think of such a crude method. Although earthy. But it works.

The heavy firepower of your Japanese invaders is very powerful. Airplanes are also awesome. It's hard for me to avoid. However, I can transform the ground. I can dig trenches everywhere.

I sweat without bleeding. I used earthworks to successfully weaken the firepower of the Japanese invaders.

"Crack!"

Zhang Yong suddenly slapped his thigh.

I am still a little impatient with my IQ. Didn't expect this.

One of the special weapons of the Red Party in later generations on the battlefield is soil work! Digging trenches right under the enemy's nose.

Strange, how did Wang Yaowu come up with this idea? This Lao Wang is really quite capable.

But then, why didn’t it work anymore?

In the final analysis, people still support it.

Lao Wang himself didn’t want to fight.

Because he was not very good at boasting, flattering, and flattering, Lao Jiang didn't seem to trust him very much.

Walk forward along the trench.

Not afraid at all.

Deep trenches are the greatest guarantee of safety.

Bullets are impossible to hit. Only artillery shells and aerial bombs may be affected. But the power will also be greatly reduced.

"boom…"

There were Japanese artillery shells falling.

Zhang Yong didn't care at all.

I feel in a better mood.

There seems to be hope.

real!

People were in the trench, and the Japanese artillery shells were completely out of reach.

Unless the cannonball lands accurately in the trench. And it happened to be in the straight line in front of me.

Otherwise, it's all safe.

What are the chances of being hit directly? One in ten thousand, maybe.

If you are accidentally hit directly, remember to buy a lottery ticket after you are reincarnated in the next life. In the bag.

Turn.

Walk more than ten meters.

Turn again.

This distance of more than ten meters is the effective killing distance of the artillery shell.

Once blocked by a turn, the projectile loses its effect. The turns are often three or four meters thick. Cannonballs can't penetrate it at all.

"This way."

"good."

There are many forks in the road.

Don't know where it leads. Maybe other troops?

It may even be that the positions of the 51st Division have been connected to those of the 67th Division by trenches?

That would be great.

Can flow unimpeded.

The firepower of the Japanese invaders could not block all the trenches.

Both personnel and materials can pass through the trench. Casualties can be minimized.

Indeed, Huang Weixi learned late.

Maybe Wang Yaowu just thought of it not long ago?

Go, go, go...

Go, go, go...

Finally I saw Huang Wei.

This top student and teacher is exactly like a clay figure.

The other officers around him were similar. Everyone's military uniforms were covered in mud.

Trenches are really useful. However, the trenches were damp. There is mud in many places. As long as you pass by, you can never leave cleanly.

Zhang Yong looked down at himself.

hehe. Not much different. It's the same as the clay figurine.

"Mr. Huang..."

"Who are you…"

"Zhang Yong. Inspector of the Military and Political Commission. Zhang Yong."

"Is it you?"

Huang Wei was a little surprised.

He knows Zhang Yong. But completely unfamiliar.

Because he doesn't like dealing with people outside the system. I don’t usually have many friends.

"The commission asked me to come to the front line to visit everyone."

"Thanks."

Huang Wei had no expression.

Zhang Yong can completely understand.

The fighting has made me completely numb. All the seven emotions and six desires are gone.

The reason why you are alive is just because you are alive.

He was not beaten to death, so he is alive.

He might be beaten to death the next moment.

There is no place to sit.

There isn't even a bench.

Including the radio operators, they were all wallowing in the mud.

This is Huang Wei's division headquarters.

To this extent, the war was more cruel than Stalingrad.

"How is the situation in your division?"

"There are still 2,700 people who can stand up."

"Where are the wounded?"

"More than three hundred."

"So few?"

"The others are dead. The rest are dying."

"Understood."

Zhang Yong lowered his head. Speechless.

The situation of the 67th Division was much more miserable than that of the 88th Division.

To transport the wounded to the rear, they had to pass through a very long trench.

Most of the injured may have died during transportation.

Temporary treatment center?

It may exist in name but not in reality.

"boom…"

"boom…"

The Japanese invaders started shelling again.

The shell landed on the ground five hundred meters away in a straight line.

But not very intense.

There are trenches over there too.

I guess the Japanese invaders also knew that artillery shells were of little use.

Therefore, during the artillery bombardment, there were a large number of red dots forming a winding team to launch an attack.

Judging from the shape of the Japanese invaders' team, it was obvious that they were moving inside the trench.

They were fighting for the trenches with the 67th Division.

"Bang!"

"Snap hook!"

The intermittent gunshots came to mind.

It was white dots and red dots fighting fiercely in the trenches, hand-to-hand combat at close range.

The Japanese invaders still used the Type 38 rifle that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. And cantaloupe grenades. The national army used shell guns and grenades.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Because it exploded inside a trench, the sound was very dull.

The competition between the two sides is measured in centimeters. It would be impossible for the Japanese invaders to attack them all at once.

The trench over there has been dug like a spider web. As long as the Japanese invaders come in, they will be entangled.

There are enemies in front, on the left and on the right.

The Japanese invaders had no idea when a grenade would be thrown from the side.

This is another style of consumption.

But this kind of hard work is much more cost-effective than fighting on the ground.

At least one can be exchanged for one. Even one for two.

The most important thing is that the Japanese invaders can be held back. The Japanese invaders completely lost their temper.

Your plane can fly there. But infantry can fly horses? Can tanks fly? Can heavy artillery fly? These trenches must be filled with human lives.

"Does the radio work?"

"able."

"I'll borrow it for use."

"good."

Zhang Yong ordered the report to be sent.

It means that the entire 67th Army is required to dig trenches on the battlefield.

Dig as much as you can.

Dig hard!

The more you dig, the better.

It turns out that the more you sweat now, the less you bleed later.

Native method. it works. Then promote it comprehensively.

If possible, dig up all the ground from the Songhu battlefield to Jinling!

Let the Japanese invaders fight for every inch.

Bunkers and the like would be blown up by the Japanese invaders.

However, the sight of the densely packed and winding trenches gave the gods a headache.

The tanks of the Japanese invaders encountered so many trenches that they could only sigh with dismay.

so…

dig!

dig!

dig!

Suddenly I remembered the 230th Division over Hangzhou Bay.

They can also dig.

Dig out all the main roads from Jinshan Guard to Songhu battlefield.

Hard work was carried out to dig trenches nearby. Turn the ground into a spider web. As soon as the Japanese invaders landed, they were faced with densely packed trenches stretching as far as the eye could see.

Run!

Go!

Let you run!

Let you rush!

Unless you can fly!

Otherwise, just be obedient and have fun with me!

Obediently and I fought for trench after trench.

Until one party bleeds completely.
