After a period of urgent busyness, the preparatory battalion was further strengthened on the basis of the original Japanese fortifications, and completed a new fortification, there was a main line of defense above the embankment, and four heavy machine gun positions were arranged in the rear, all the heavy machine guns adjusted the scale of the heavy machine guns according to the calculated distance, and there was a height difference between the embankment and the river surface, and due to the position, the heavy machine guns had a certain shooting dead angle for the front of the river bank to the slope facing the Japanese side. Ｘ

Because of the distance, it is indeed difficult for the heavy machine gun to hit the dead angle of the slope from the front of the river bank to the side facing the Japanese army, unless the ballistics of the heavy machine gun are very high, otherwise it will not be able to hit at all, and it is difficult to hit the over-shooting of the heavy machine gun. Therefore, in this section, all have to rely on the infantry themselves to fight, Zhang Wei placed a large number of grenades in the main line of defense of the river embankment, once the Japanese army rushed to this section and attacked along the slope to the river embankment, the soldiers greeted them with grenades, condescendingly smashed down, and killed them with grenades.

At the rear of the embankment, under the slope of the embankment, Zhang Wei dug a large number of anti-artillery holes and bunkers reinforced with sandbags to hide the troops, and let these bunkers be widely dispersed, and after the troops built the fortifications on the embankment, except for a few people who stayed to observe, the rest of the people withdrew to these bunkers.

The position of the mortar platoon was set up more than ten meters behind the entire embankment, the position was dug, and all the mortar platoon personnel and equipment were also concealed first, and the mortar could kill and injure the Japanese army together with the heavy machine gun in this position, of course, there was a blind spot with the same firing angle as the heavy machine gun.

After making defensive preparations, Zhang Wei made a big use of the troops, the defense line on the embankment, the second and third companies were responsible for the defense, and at the same time the remnants of the 106th Division about a platoon of troops were also arranged, in order to take care of the friendly forces, Zhang Wei gave this platoon a task not heavy, just a section of the defense line between the second and third companies to assist the second and third companies in defense.

The first company is still used as a reserve, standing by in the rear fortifications, Zhang Wei did this because this battle is to reinforce the 106th Division, as long as the river embankment is not lost, to give the 106th Division time to reorganize the troops is a victory, this kind of stubborn defense-based battle, for the second and third companies, now fully competent, put the first company, it is really a bit of a waste.

Zhang Wei's current command habit is to take the most elite forces into his own hands in light of the specific battle situation under the limited number of troops, let the slightly inferior troops engage in general battles, and take out the elite troops at hand to fight counterattacks or counterattacks at critical junctures when counterattacking and at critical junctures.

Zhang Wei did this out of helplessness, in the final analysis, it is still too expensive for a company, a cruel fact is: the same are soldiers, the lives of recruits and veterans are indeed different, especially for the extreme lack of training of recruits and the poor physical fitness of the people, the gap between recruits and veterans is very huge, although Zhang Wei's second and third companies have gone through several battles, they are also constantly sharpening, but compared with the veterans who have fought for a year or two, the objective gap is still very large.

If Zhang Wei's three companies were equal in combat effectiveness, or all of them were elite, he would naturally not do this.

Hundreds of people in the whole battalion, except for the observation post, all of them were hidden in the fortifications on the back slope, Zhang Wei leaned on the bunker, most of the soldiers in the same bunker as Zhang Wei were not prepared battalions, there were no steel helmets, they were wearing gray-blue military uniforms, all of them were remnants of the 106th Division, their highest commander was attached to a sergeant platoon, and the current temporary platoon commander was sitting next to Zhang Wei.

"Brother, where are you?" After staying for a long time, Zhang Wei was a little bored.

Pai Fu glanced at Zhang Wei: "Report to the chief, my hometown is in the northeast, Xingcheng, Liaoning." ”

"Don't be restrained, that pimple old Northeast Army in Liaoxi?" Zhang Wei said the last few words with an obvious southern Liaoning accent, although Zhang Wei wore it, but before wearing it, he was a serious Northeasterner.

"Yes, sir, are you from the Northeast?" Listening to Zhang Wei's northeast accent, his tone suddenly became extremely excited.

Zhang Wei showed a "mysterious" smile and did not directly answer the attached question. This row of attachments was taken as Zhang Wei's acquiescence, and the chatterbox was opened.

"We are indeed the old Northeast Army, we followed the young marshal out of the pass seven years ago, and then followed the troops all the way, and now we are here."

"Okay, you fought all the way, and the flesh on your body was still complete, and you didn't lose your life."

"Who says it's not, sir, all the way down, there are fewer and fewer calves in the northeast in the army, and there are not even a few soldiers left in Rehe, and now these living heads, there are Shandong, Shaanxi, and there are not a few left in the northeast." In the end, the row is a little lonely.

The 106th Division was the unit of the old Northeast Army, which entered the pass at 918 o'clock, and later the faction of the Northeast Army collapsed, and the troops were also distributed and dismembered.

"Dying in the national war can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and those brothers are worthy of their hometown in the Northeast." Zhang Wei said in a deep voice.

Platoon nodded.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Wei learned that the veteran of the Northeast Army in front of him was called Li Changgui, saying that he was a veteran, and he was not very old, twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

Zhang Wei picked up the gun next to Li Changgui, pulled the bolt, and the maintenance was okay, but it looked a little badly aged, and the magazine was empty.

"The gun is good."

Li Changgui smiled: "Liao thirteen, seventy-nine rifles, I use this easily, Hanyang and Czech are not very comfortable." ”

"How much ammunition do you brothers have?" Zhang Wei asked

"Sir, what about the bullets, there aren't many bullets, I hit it too hard before, everyone can have three or four rows of bullets."

"It's all seventy-nine rifles? Hit the head and bounce? ”

"Yes, it's all seven-nine caliber guns." Li Changgui said with a smile.

"Guards, go to the first company to find Company Commander Qiu, and ask the special agent commander of the first company to give each of these brothers fifty rounds of ammunition." The preparation battalion has been replenished with ammunition, and there is no shortage of rifle ammunition, since Zhang Wei is guarding his position with others, he has to treat everyone equally.

"Yes." The guards climbed out of cover and ran towards the bunker of a company commander, Qiu Wei.

"Sir, thank you so much!" Li Changgui couldn't organize more words, just a strong thanks, they were fed up with discrimination and white eyes in the past, but now Zhang Wei, a Central Army officer who can speak Northeast dialect, has no fight, and he also allocated ammunition to them, in Li Changgui's eyes, Zhang Wei's image has become extremely tall.

"Brothers, did you hear that, Chief Zhang gave us ammunition, not to show us the face, when we fight for a while, if anyone dares not to fight hard, don't blame Lao Tzu's gun for being unreasonable!"
