Wei Hong nodded to Yue Chu when he said this, and the latter did not get up, but just turned to face everyone in his seat and said:

"Yes, there are indeed some big changes, first of all, because the timely arrival of the Yi Wuxuan has given Dongcheng District more powerful fire support, and secondly, in the recent period, our performance and evaluation of the men of the naturalized village of the naturalized battalion in terms of military training have forced us to rethink the rationality of the original defense plan, and finally, I still made up my mind to make some adjustments to the defense plan of Dongcheng.

To sum it up: we had intended to put all our forces on the wooden wall to fight the enemy who might come to an end, but now we felt that we could not do so, and in the eastern city, we had to turn the total defense into a focused defense. ”

At this time, Lao Ba immediately frowned when he heard this, and said:

"So? Changing the defense plan at the end of a major war? Will it cause confusion? ”

When Yue Chu heard this, he immediately stood up, walked to the map, pointed to the map in front of everyone, and said:

"No, everyone, we also made this decision after thinking about it, so I'll tell you why."

When Lao Ba Lao Wang and the others heard this, they stopped making a sound, but just looked at Yue Chu with blazing eyes, waiting for his next step.

Yue Chu said:

"It can be expected that although the enemy's main attack direction can only be Xicheng, especially the wooden walls on both wings of the southwest corner tower of Xicheng, we cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy may send a partial division to raid the wooden wall of Dongcheng, please look here."

Everyone's eyes followed Yue Chu's point, and they arrived at the Xin'an River Dam, which was two kilometers away from the wooden wall in the southern section.

"If the enemy uses the dam as a passage, he can easily cross the Xin'an River, although it has now entered the flood season, even if Brother Hou has demolished the wooden bridge of the outer river, but because the river there is very narrow, we only need to send people to swim over and build a simple suspension bridge, and the brigade can pass, and we obviously cannot tear down the dam, and we cannot afford to divide our troops to defend there."

"This was expected, so what are your changes?"

At this time, Hou Xianglin interjected and asked.

Yue Chu replied:

"In recent days, our security team has spent a lot of effort to train the men in the naturalization camp and naturalization villages, and I have to say here that the results are not ideal.

After all, these people have to work on weekdays, including various military fortifications, resulting in their lack of military training time, so far, among these more than 4,000 people, who can really pull on the battlefield and fight hand-to-hand with the enemy and are not afraid of the battle, we pick and choose, there are probably less than a thousand people, and the rest can barely fight a tailwind battle, but it will be very risky to pull out and fight a tough battle.

After all, the men in the naturalization village of the naturalization battalion are not professional military personnel, and they may not only have unstable emotions on the battlefield, but also have the influence of factors such as short training time and uneven personal combat skills.

Therefore, we believe that rashly taking them to the attack of the hard steel enemy in front of the wooden wall will make the psychological pressure of the soldiers very great, if the enemy in front of them adopts the tactics of crowds, and uses the method of key breakthroughs to concentrate on attacking a certain point on the wooden wall, we are almost not sure that we will be able to resist it, and if that situation really occurs, it is very likely that there will be various collapses on the wooden wall.

Therefore, our suggestion is that the defense of Dongcheng should be based on the three main points of the East City Gate, the southeast corner tower on the wooden wall, and the Naturalization Camp Naturalization Village Complex, so that these three locations arranged in a zigzag pattern constitute the defensive support points of the entire Dongcheng, without having to spread the troops on the wooden wall.

Therefore, in addition to the two support points on the wooden wall, it is necessary to make full use of the closed building structure of the naturalization battalion and the characteristics of the closed building structure of the naturalization camp and the village are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a part of the main force should be arranged there.

Another advantage of this is that with the naturalization battalion and naturalization village as the core, the strategy of mobile defense can be adopted, and troops can be dispatched to support the other two strongholds at any time according to the battlefield situation.

Moreover, the building structure of the naturalization camp and naturalization village is compact, if 3,000 people are put there to defend, the defense density will be very large, and the combat coordination will be easy, and it is precisely because of its closed environment that the defenders will have no way to retreat, and they will be put to death and reborn, so that we can be sure to lead this group of battlefield beginners to hold their positions. ”

Yue Chu stopped when he said this, obviously he was waiting for everyone's response, but the venue was silent, and everyone fell into a mysterious silence.

After being silent for a long time, Lao Wang looked at the large map hanging on the wall and responded:

"Well, are you planning to engage in a tactic of luring the enemy deep into the Dongcheng area to close the door and fight the dog?"

When Wei Hong and Yue Chu heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile slightly, and Yue Chu immediately responded:

"Exactly! If the enemy once crosses the wooden wall into the city, because of the wide Xin'an River and the Yiwuxuan on the river, the enemy will not be able to cross the river and enter the Xicheng at all, and at that time, the enemy will only be able to attack the only building complex in the city: the Naturalization Camp and the Naturalization Village, which is only separated by a wall.

The rest of the eastern city is basically a wilderness and flatland, and with the weapons in our hands, not only the corner tower and the city gate can cover the whole area, but also the machine guns and three-inch naval guns on the Iwuyi can easily cover the whole area. ”

At this time, Hou Xianglin slapped his thigh and interjected:

"At that point, the enemy will have to go into the cement factory shed that we have emptied to avoid the bullets."

"Exactly!"

Wei Hong immediately responded, and then pointed to the map and said, in this way, the enemy will be trapped in the greenhouse and near the greenhouse, and at that time, the only way out for them except to be hit by us with long-range weapons is to jump into the sea and jump into the river! Guys, this is a trap, it's up to the enemy to jump in! ”

"Sounds pretty good......"

"But the key is to hold those three locations!"

"And the Ibu must block the riverbank......"

"Yue Chu, how many people do you estimate will attack Dongcheng by then?"

At this point, someone in the audience asked a question that was not easy to answer.

Before Yue Chu could respond, Wei Hong next to him immediately replied:

"Judging from the terrain outside the wooden wall of the west city, the southwest corner tower is the enemy's primary attack focus, because the wooden wall at a 90-degree angle here has enough length for the enemy to deploy attack forces, followed by the southwest city gate, although it is a straight line, the field terrain is flat and open, and it can also allow large-scale troops to be deployed.

As for the southeast city gate, because it is separated by the Xin'an River, if the enemy wants to attack Xin'an City from there, he must cross the river, and the distance between Dongcheng and Dili City is only four kilometers, and there is no natural barrier, so if the enemy wants to attack Dongcheng, he must consider the situation of being attacked on his belly and back, so the enemy will not attack Dongcheng under normal circumstances.

Of course, another factor is that there is no oil and water to be fished out of the wooden walls of Dongcheng, except for the naturalization camp and the naturalized village and the cement factory greenhouse that has been emptied.

Therefore, we believe that the enemy may send a partial division to attack Dongcheng in a restrained manner, but it is only in the nature of a feint, and the enemy's key attack direction is still Xicheng.

From this, we can roughly judge the strength of the enemy who is likely to attack the eastern city - no more than six or seven thousand men, or even less. ”

Hou Xianglin nodded and said:

"In that case, shouldn't we send some of the men from the naturalization camp to assist in the defense of Xicheng?"

"That's right, just now Yue Chu said that there are 1,000 people who have achieved good military training results, and this is a living force."

At this time, Lao Ba also nodded in agreement.
