Chapter 45: "Fortifications"

3.45 "Fortifications"

When the young man spoke, his expression was extremely obscene, as if he had seen the private affairs of "Yu Fattou" with his own eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng. Rich didn't understand a word, and kept asking Jiang Baili what he said, Jiang Baili looked embarrassed and hesitant.

The young man saw that the guest officer liked to listen and wanted to get the remaining piece of the ocean, so he continued to splash the dirty water of "Yu Fat Head".

"This 'Yu Fat Head' only knows how to toss his aunts and wives in bed, how can he do any official business? The gate of the garrison headquarters is open for the rich, and there is no reason to come in if you don't have money! If the poor go in, most of them will be arrested to repair the fortifications in the east of the city! ”

Huang Haoran heard the word "fortification" and knew that something good was coming, so he spoke:

"Fortifications? Are the fortifications you are talking about defense fortifications? Aren't they all being repaired by sappers and troops? Why do you even use prisoners? ”

The young man didn't answer, staring at the remaining piece of ocean in Fan Jie's hand, Huang Haoran made a look, and Fan Jie threw this piece to the young man.

The young man caught it, put it to his mouth happily and blew it, put it to his ear and listened to it, and it blossomed with joy.

"Don't worry about money! What do you ask? Jiang Baili heard something related to the purpose of his trip, and couldn't help but urge.

The young man took Dayang into his arms, pressed it with his hand, and then whispered:

"We don't know what kind of work the government uses, we only know that there are already 1,800 people who have been arrested to repair the fortifications, but it seems that the family originally intended that the money could be returned, and those who have no money have never been seen again!"

After speaking, he bowed and walked away......

Jiang Baili couldn't help but be furious, and said angrily:

"How can this be true? The state has allocated so much money, and these officials below still want to exploit the people, I must report to the highest authorities, and punish such moths severely! ”

Huang Haoran spoke out with relief:

"Brother Baili! Don't be angry, if it's really for the purpose of building national defense fortifications, extorting some people's money can be regarded as a makeshift official, you can take a look at it in Changshu first......"

Jiang Baili knew that Huang Haoran would definitely not pull himself to see a few corrupt officials in the morning, and next, I am afraid that there are more things waiting for him that he can't think of and dare not think of.

Jiang Baili asked his guards to find the "fat-headed fish" commander in Changshu City with his own post, and wanted to check the data of the national defense project, but this fat-headed and big-eared guy couldn't even get a map of the location of the fortifications, and only knew that he was standing aside and wiping sweat on his forehead!

Jiang Baili knew that most of what he heard in the restaurant was true!

Huang Haoran saw Jiang Baili's angry complexion, and looked at the sweaty "Yu Fat Head", he smiled and said loudly:

"Brother Baili! Let's let this Commander Yu take us to the construction site for a walk, the drawings are drawings, how can there be anything practical to see! ”

"Commander Yu! Lead the way! ”

Jiang Baili noticed that this "Yu Fat Head" was obviously shaking when he heard that he was going to the national defense line to have a look, and his sweat was even more intensive......

"This... This one... subordinates..."

There must be a ghost in my heart!

Jiang Baili shouted: "What do you say!" Lead the way! ”

"Yu Fattou" saw that he really couldn't hide, and he didn't dare to offend Jiang Baili, a celebrity in front of the highest authorities, so he had to slowly gather a team of soldiers and accompany Jiang Baili and Huang Haoran and his party to the "national defense fortifications" in the east of Changshu City......

Wuxian (Suzhou) - Fushan and Wuxi - Jiangyin, Zhapu - Pinghu - Jiashan line are all national defense lines, which were designed by the City Fortress Group (later the City Fortress Bureau) of the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Commission in 1933 according to the needs of resisting the Japanese invasion of Shanghai and defending Nanjing. Its formation is mainly based on infantry battalion positions, and in particularly important or minor areas, there are also regimental or company positions. The first line and reserve positions are set up in the position, and systems and equipment such as shooting, observation, communications, transportation, camouflage, bunkers, and obstacles are built, and light and heavy machine guns and battle defense artillery fortifications are the backbone to form a ring defense structure. The building materials are mainly reinforced concrete, and natural obstacles are used as much as possible, supplemented by artificial obstacles, to form permanent solid fortifications. From 1934 to 1936, the Military Commission successively dispatched the 36th, 57th, 87th, and 88th Divisions, the 1st Independent Engineer Regiment, the Engineer School Training Team, and the Military Police Regiment to build them in phases and batches. The project was huge, and the labor was labor-intensive, and it had not been completely completed until the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu.

In a defensive battle, using fortifications to block the enemy and protect oneself is an indispensable tactical measure for the defending side, and it is also the basic form of defensive operations. Based on the strategic policy of protracted operations and attrition of the enemy's forces, if the battle in Shanghai was lost, it became the natural choice of the Nanjing Military Commission to transfer the troops to the established positions in the rear to resist the Japanese army, and gradually deplete and then annihilate the enemy's living forces. According to the predetermined plan, the Chinese army will retreat to defend the defense lines of Wu, Fu and Chen.

These defense lines will become an extremely important material guarantee for the Nanjing Ministry of Defense to resist the Japanese army, stabilize the troops, and turn the tide of the war.

It stands to reason that such a huge project will definitely build a majestic line of defense.

But Jiang Baili and Huang Haoran really wouldn't have been able to discover this national defense fortification if it weren't for the guidance of "Yu Fattou"!

Of course, this is not to praise the construction of the Wufu line for being very secretive, let alone what "stealth technology" is used in the defense fortifications!

But I can't find it!

Where permanent fortifications should be built is a wasteland, how can there be a shadow of "defense fortifications"?

"Yu Fattou" sweated and led the way in front, and the places he walked were actually wet!

A group of people looked for fortifications in the direction of the mouth of "Yu Fattou". After walking for several miles, I finally found the so-called national defense fortifications three or four hundred meters away from the north and south on both sides of the highway and avenue! There are only a few lonely concrete machine gun bunkers, and what is even more outrageous is that there are only more than ten low dirt bags on the preset main position, Jiang Baili ordered the soldiers to dig up the upper layer of the earth bags, and found that only one or two are machine gun bunkers, and the gate is locked, and the garrison commander of "Yu Fattou" can't open the door without a key!

The rest was opened but it was a coffin, which was clearly a grave mound! Where are the eternal fortifications!

"Yu Fattou" was in a hurry, and hurriedly defended:

"This... This one... Fiction and reality are the art of war! ”

Shen Lao Er gave Fan Jie a thumbs up in the back and said:

"Holy shit! This dead fat pig is really talented! I think of all the reasons! ”

Fan Jie also covered his mouth and snickered......

Jiang Baili stood on the high ground of the cemetery, raised his telescope to observe this "national defense fortification", and found that the front of this "position" was separated by a small river more than 10 meters, and there were many trees and houses on the opposite bank. Half of the bunkers were built, and there were no communication trenches between them, and they were scattered all over the place.

The group waited on the "position" for a long time, and only a few soldiers and the chief of the nearby village learned from it, took out the key from his bosom and opened the gates of the few fortifications.
