C1525 Construction of temporary positions

Humans were born to watch the show, and if there was a fire then it would be a rare occurrence. On the battlefield, it was even more obvious that soldiers were trained to be very alert. Any movement in the wind or grass was a very dangerous sign for them.

A wisp of smoke soared into the sky. It was in a non-combat zone, so it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Ma Hui and Ding Si who had discovered the smoke earlier were running out of the city as if their lives depended on it. However, at this moment, there was a group of people who were at the edge of the battlefield.

They were precisely the Fu Sang Army that was chased out of the city by Sakamoto Ryoma.

"Sir!" Look west! Smoke rose from the wolves …. One of the soldiers stood up and pointed towards the distance. Mao Liyiyuan and the others turned their heads to see that it was actually a wisp of smoke.

"Nani!" Do we have garrison troops over there? I don't remember … "

These samurai s looked at each other for just a second, their faces were immediately covered by a look of pleasant surprise. If there was a fight, then there was military merits to be had.

"Gather!" Gathering of the Army... Use existing trenches to prepare for war... Who will find some war horses to investigate the situation! " Dao Jinfeiniao rubbed his hands together in excitement, the soldiers behind him forgot their fatigue as they started to prepare for battle.

The war trenches and fortifications outside Haishenwai were on the east side while the enemy was in the west. If there were really enemies attacking them from the west, they could only use a portion of the already prepared war trenches.

There was still about a kilometer of unguarded area, which required the soldiers to temporarily set up defensive positions. The Eastern Army's tradition was that it was very good at working on the soil and wood, and the volunteers had also trained in the work of the soil and wood. It wasn't difficult for them to temporarily set up defensive positions.

There were many sandbags at the back, so the samurai and the soldiers that were left behind acted urgently. They carried the sandbags and began to build a round shooting bunker.

A defensive area of over a thousand meters could not be fully defended in such a short period of time. They could only build small shooting arenas for each group of ten people, forming a huge crisscrossing formation on the battlefield.

A round shooting position can defend the enemy from 360 degrees, and the crisscrossing shooting positions can provide mutual firepower cover. If you observe this line of defense from the sky, you will be surprised to find that these shooting positions are basically a triangular formation.

Every point in the triangle could provide firepower to the surrounding points, and the distance between them was exactly around the Mauser's rifle's effective range of 200 to 300 meters. Theoretically, the metal bullets would be able to effectively kill the enemy within 500 meters, but the most accurate distance would still be around 200 to 300 meters.

This way, as long as ten of these circular fortifications were built from the south to the north, the fire output from the soldiers would cover the entire area.

At the moment, there were only three thousand soldiers that could fight in the rear. According to each squad, they would build a shooting post. Within this defensive area, the loyal troops could build thirty shooting nets that could pierce through the north and south.

Of course, this was only a theoretical calculation. In reality, they still had to allocate a portion of their troops to defend the original trenches, so these defenders could only use the limited resources they had on the battlefield to temporarily build twenty lines of defense running through the north and south.

They carried sandbags as they traversed through the frozen ground, puffing and puffing. Some soldiers who were seriously exhausted would often fall to the ground with sandbags on their shoulders, unable to even get up from the ground.

At this time, however, no one talked back. Fusang, who was ruthless to his enemies, was just as brutal to his men. He lashed out with his whip with the butt of his spear! It's war now! Even if you're tired and want to vomit blood, you have to go up... Give me the sandbag, go find someone to carry the ammunition box! "Lazy bones, all of them are a bunch of lazy bones …"

The officer did his best, but the soldiers didn't complain. As long as you looked at the three sandbags on Mao Liyiyuan's shoulder and the bullet box held by Dao Jinfeiniao's two arms, you would know that the officer was already fighting for his life.

"Come on!" This is a military achievement bestowed to us by the God of Heaven, we definitely cannot lose it! The victor was the king and the loser was the bandits! "Protect the sides of the army and give the prime minister and general enough time to organize their forces …"

"Monarchs fight with all their might! As long as we can give the army an hour of safe time, we'll have completed the mission … Victory or defeat will be decided in one go, and whether or not the Far Eastern Kingdom can be established will depend on today! "

The westernmost area of the Haishenwai, which was also the right wing on Xiang Shaolong's military map, had already become a large construction site. Three thousand people were working as hard as ants, and the barricade of fangs and teeth was growing out just by a glance.

The westernmost ten ring-shaped fortifications were already built up. One squadron of soldiers was stationed in each fortification, the Mauser's rifle were placed on top of sandbags, and the grenades were placed one after another on top of the sand bags. Behind the soldiers' butts were the ammunition box.

The dried meat and sugar chocolate offered by the warehouse was the best food for replenishing energy, so the Fusang Soldiers quickly stuffed the food into their mouths.

Two hundred meters to the east of the first line of defense was the second line of defense. The position of each ring-shaped shooting position was exactly in the middle of the two shooting positions in the first line of defense. The three ring-shaped formations formed a triangle covering each other.

The third line of defense and the second line of defense formed a triangle. Slowly, the entire land formed a four kilometer deep thick line of defense. Looking from afar, one could not see the end of it.

When the three thousand soldiers were in position, after completing a sandbag fortress, ten soldiers had already entered. From afar, Lin Mu's rifles looked like a hedgehog with its body curled up.

Mao Liyiyuan who was so tired that he died a thief leaned on the inner wall of the sandbag wall and panted heavily, "Give me a piece of black sugar …" My heart is about to jump out of my chest... What exactly have the two brothers of the Ida family done? "

"God of Heaven bless, God of Heaven bless! Please give it to our enemies, do not give them a false alarm, we want them, we want more of them … "" No, no … The harder the bone is, the better it is! "

The Far Eastern Indigenous soldiers in the group looked at Fu Sang with astonishment. They only had one thought in their minds, "Abnormal!" These people were truly abnormal. Not only did they kill captives, they even hoped for enemies! Are you crazy for credit?
