Chapter 4 Bamboo Nails
Cao Jing, Wang Zilong's battalion headquarters.
The war games were soon over, and the prince stood there in disbelief.
The faces of He Ajiu and several guards at the battalion headquarters who were watching were even more exciting, and their expressions were as if they were alive.
Only Zhong Yi looked calm, threw the last wargame on the sand table, and said indifferently: "Battalion Commander Wang, you lost, I have been defending Jinshanwei and Haiphong for two days!" ”
Wang Zilong woke up like a dream, and muttered: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, there must be something wrong, there must be something wrong with the parameter setting!" ”
"Yes, yes, the parameters must be set wrong!"
"That is, half of the battalion faced the two divisions of the devil and held out for two days? No kidding! ”
"Hehe, don't say it's been two days, it's already a miracle to be able to hold it for two hours!"
Several guards next to him also echoed, obviously unable to believe the result in front of them.
Zhong Yi said: "Camp Commander Wang, then tell me, which parameter is set wrong?" ”
Wang Zilong immediately became dumb, all the parameters of this wargame deduction were set by him!
Silently staring at the sand table, Wang Zilong's eyes slowly lit up, maybe there was really a chance to defend Jin Shanwei for two days?
He Ajiu whispered: "Brother Wang, I forgot to tell you that Captain Zhong is not an ordinary security captain, he is a serious high-achieving student who has returned from studying at West Point Military Academy in the United States!" Foreign students! ”
"What?" The prince said abruptly, "A top student at West Point? ”
He Ajiu nodded, and said, "Now you know where you lost, right?" ”
Wang Zilong let out a long breath and said to Zhong Yi with a complicated expression: "Okay, I agree to hand over the command of the Jinshanwei defense battle to you!" But there's one thing I have to say beforehand! ”
Zhong Yi said: "Camp Commander Wang, please speak." ”
Wang Zilong said in a deep voice: "If you are only good at talking on paper, and you do not have the level shown in the sand table deduction in actual combat, I will take back the command at any time!" ”
Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
As soon as his tone changed, Zhong Yi said again: "However, I also have a request!" ”
Wang Zilong said: "You say." ”
Zhong Yi said: "Camp Commander Wang is temporarily acting as my adjutant!" ”
Wang Zilong pulled the straight tweed military uniform on his body, and said in a deep voice: "No problem! ”
Zhong Yi was no longer polite, and directly entered the role: "Adjutant Wang, immediately report to me the details of our department's personnel, equipment and ammunition reserves!" ”
"Yes!" Wang Zilong said loudly, "Not counting Captain He's special team, our department has a total of two infantry companies, a guard platoon and a mountain artillery company in the Jinshan Weihai defense line, and in terms of equipment, there are six Bufus mountain guns, one Type 24 heavy machine gun, two Czech-style light machine guns, 319 Hanyang-made rifles, and 26 Mauser pistols. ”
After a pause, he said: "In terms of ammunition reserves, there are a total of 600 rounds of Bufus instantaneous grenades, 20 tracer flares, more than 50,000 machine rifle rounds, more than 2,000 grenades, more than 500 mines, 20 5 catties of explosives, 10 10 catties of explosives, and about 3,000 catties of folk black powder collected. ”
"Got it." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "Adjutant Wang, you can go to the entrance of the village to see if the township security chiefs of each township have gathered the people together." ”
As soon as the words fell, a guard came in and reported, "Captain Zhong, your people are looking for you!" ”
"Bring it in!" With Zhong Yi's permission, the guards immediately brought someone in, and sure enough, it was Liang Feng.
Seeing Zhong Yi, Liang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Captain, the people of all townships and towns have been gathered!" ”
Zhong Yi nodded, and asked again, "How many people?" ”
Liang Feng scratched his head and said, "I haven't counted, there are about five thousand people." ”
"Barely enough." Zhong Yi said, "Crazy, you immediately take 3,000 people to Baishawan and transport the bamboo cut down by the security team to Haiyue Nunnery and Snake King Hall." ”
"Yes!" Liang Feng glanced at Wang Zilong, turned around and hurried away.
Zhong Yi said to Wang Zilong again: "Adjutant Wang, you have to take the rest of the people to the villages to collect dry firewood, straw and other fire-starting materials and transport them to the artillery positions and sea ponds, the more the better!" ”
"Yes!" Wang Zilong agreed, and also turned around.
Zhong Yi's eyes fell on He Ajiu's face, and He Jiu immediately said: "Brother, don't worry, our special team resolutely obeys your command, say, what are you going to let us do?" ”
"You Einsatzgruppen have only one mission!" Zhong Yi said, "Sleep!" ”
"What? Go to bed? He Ajiu was stunned, "What the hell is this?" ”
Zhong Yi ignored He Ajiu and left Cao Jing's camp directly.
Soon, Zhong Yi returned to Haiyue Nunnery, and then threw the foreign car and strode onto the sea pond.
The so-called sea pond is actually a flood control levee built on the seaside, the Qianjiang tide in Hangzhou Bay is very famous, if you dare not repair the flood control levee, you can be flooded in minutes!
The sea pond of Haiyue Nunnery was built during the Ming Dynasty, the rammed earth in the middle, the inner and outer surfaces are built with stones, it is very solid, it looks like a city wall, it can be seen that the project is very huge! Due to the erosion of time, most of the walls have fallen apart, but the main body of the embankment is still intact.
Inside the broken stone embankment is a large field of silt.
Outside the embankment is the tidal flat, which is four or five hundred meters wide!
Although the devil's plane had just bombed, there were still fishermen fishing barefoot on the mudflats.
As soon as the fishermen step on it, the thin mud immediately reaches their knees, and it often takes a lot of effort to take a step forward, but even so, these fishermen are unwilling to give up.
An elderly fisherman happened to pass by the sea.
Zhong Yi immediately stopped the other party and asked, "Grandpa, has the water level here always been so low?" ”
"That's certainly not the case." The old fisherman shook his head and said, "When the tide rises, the water level will rise to the foot of the pond!" ”
Zhong Yi said again: "Then when will the tide rise?" ”
"Evening." "It is the beginning of the month," replied the old fisherman, "and the tide rises from the evening, and by two or three o'clock tomorrow morning, the water will rise to its highest point, almost up to the stalks, and then the tide will begin to ebb at seven or eight o'clock, and at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the tide will recede to its low point, and it will be about the same as it is now." ”
Zhong Yi's expression moved slightly when he heard this, because, in history, the little devils began to assemble at two o'clock in the morning, and by six o'clock in the morning, the advance troops had successfully landed.
But here, the little devil made a fatal mistake!
This mistake is that the little devil did not start to land on the beach at two o'clock in the morning, but waited until six o'clock when the sky was bright before rushing to the beach, wasting four hours of precious time in vain!
In history, little devils have not been punished for this!
But this time, Zhong Yi will teach the devil a bloody lesson!
It didn't take long for Wang Zilong to transport the first batch of straw to the sea pond with Minzhuang.
Not long after, the first batch of bamboos transported by Minzhuang from Baishawan also arrived.
As for Zhong Yi's intentions, except for a few people such as Wang Zilong and He Ajiu, others and even Liang Feng of the security team were completely unaware of it.
Minzhuang is even more confused.
However, Minzhuang doesn't need to know too much.
Zhong Yi took the firewood knife from the hand of a man Zhuang, and cut off a section about 30 centimeters long from an old bamboo with a few knives, and then cut it open and divided it into eight pieces.
Tuan Ding and Minzhuang were puzzled and at a loss.
Zhong Yi took one of the pieces of bamboo, sharpened one end slightly, and cut the other end from the middle part of the bamboo joint, first cut half of the bamboo into spikes, and then knocked the big head down into the silt.
Minzhuang suddenly realized, isn't this a bamboo nail used in a trap?
"I think everyone can see it, that's right, it's the bamboo nail used in the trap!" Zhong Yi clapped his hands and said loudly, "But a trap is only a few dozen bamboo nails at most, but what I want is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of bamboo nails, I want to make the more than ten miles of tidal flats in Haiyue Nunnery, Snake King Hall and Jinshanzui all covered with bamboo nails!" ”
Liang Feng said: "Captain, are you planning to use bamboo nails to prevent the devil from landing?" If the devil lands, it will definitely be at high tide, and then the devil's landing craft will be able to lean directly on the sea pond, and no matter how sharp the bamboo nails we bury on the tidal flats, it will be useless, isn't this a waste of effort? ”
Zhong Yi said: "You don't care about this!" ”
Seeing that Zhong Yi didn't mean to explain, Liang Feng could only go sullenly.
No way, who let the family be a top student who came back from West Point?
Zhong Yi turned his gaze to Wang Zilong again, and said in a deep voice: "Adjutant Wang, do you remember the previous war game deduction?" ”
"Understood!" Wang Zilong nodded, and said, "If the devil really lands on the beach in Jinshanwei, he will definitely send an advance team to grab the beach in Haiyue Nunnery first, because in comparison, the coast of several thousand meters near Haiyue Nunnery is the most suitable for beach grabbing!" To the east or west, it is either a pile of rocks or a salt pan, which is not suitable for large-scale beach landing! ”
"So." Zhong Yi continued, "You should know how to do it, right? ”
"Understood!" Wang Zilong said in a deep voice, "The first battle must be won, only in this way can we strengthen our confidence!" ”
After a pause, Wang Zilong said again: "I will take people to plant mines and explosives bags in the sea pond on the front line of Haiyue Nunnery, and spread straw in the embankment, and then sprinkle gunpowder!" ”
"Go ahead!" Zhong Yi nodded happily.
Wang Zilong took a deep look at Zhong Yi and turned around.
Seriously, Wang Zilong appreciates Zhong Yi's point that the first battle must be won!
Seeing Wang Zilong's figure go away, Zhong Yi turned his head leisurely and looked at the sea off Hangzhou Bay.
If nothing else, the 70,000 devils of Yanagawa Heisuke's Tenth Army should have been waiting on the sea dozens of miles away, right?
Turning back again, Zhong Yi turned his gaze to the direction where Nanjing was located.
But I don't know, what arrangements will Chairman Jiang Gong make?
If Chairman Chiang can't make the correct arrangements, then it will be useless for him to play flowers in Jinshanwei, and the historical tragedy that should be staged will still be staged!
