Chapter 1003 Constructing Rear Fortifications

Meng Chuan also knew that what Duan You said was reasonable, and now that his superiors had issued an order to return to the Quick Reaction Division, he would have no other place to go except to return to the Quick Reaction Division.

Now Meng Chuan only hopes that the main reconnaissance force can catch the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team, otherwise they will definitely make a lot of trouble at that time.

The current situation on the side of the fast reaction division is far better than expected, because the blue side has been attacking painlessly and has not launched any substantive charge, otherwise the defense line of the fast reaction division would have been broken through, but even so, the blue side has slowly worn out a regiment of the fast reaction division.

Fortunately, it won't take long for the main force of the red side to come back, which reassures the division headquarters of the fast reaction division, even if you blue attack us with all your strength now, then we can completely hold out until the main force comes.

On the way back to the fast anti-division, Meng Chuan had been worried about the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team, and he was wondering if he could do something, the engineer battalion couldn't stay at the back of the troops.

After returning to the division headquarters, the division commander was very happy, and patted Meng Chuan's shoulder again and again, "Xiao Meng, you did a good job, you wiped out the opponent's reconnaissance company with an engineer battalion, which can show that you have led the troops well, and I will reward you when you turn around." ”

Meng Chuan thought all the way, and finally thought of what he should do, "Division commander, let's not talk about the commendation first, I want to report my thoughts to you, I plan to let the engineer battalion build some anti-tank trenches in the rear of our troops." ”

Build anti-tank trenches in the rear of the troops?

Meng Chuan saw the division commander's face surprised, and hurriedly said: "Division commander, let me tell you my shallow opinion, although our main force will soon come back, but we may not be able to guarantee that we can completely resist the attack of the blue side, so I want to build a second line of defense, if we really can't resist the attack of the blue side, then we can retreat to the back of the line of defense to continue to defend." ”

"Division commander, I'm not trying to confuse the army, but I want to be prepared."

Of course, the division commander understood that Meng Chuan was not bewitching the army, in fact, the division commander had not considered building the second line of defense, but after careful consideration, the division commander did not implement this plan, because there was no danger in the rear to hold onto, if you build a defense line, not only will it cost manpower and material resources, but the key is that the effect is not great, and the division itself is short of manpower, so it is too difficult to implement.

"Xiao Meng, your idea is good, but in combination with reality, our fast response division does not have the ability to build a second line of defense now."

Meng Chuan thought about it on the way here, and didn't plan to ask for more manpower, just use his own engineer battalion, because of the professional skills of the soldiers of the engineer battalion that he had specially trained a while ago, so now he is doing fortifications, which is really much faster than before.

"Division commander, I'll just use my engineer battalion to do this, anyway, the engineer battalion is only a reserve force now, and it's idle to stay in the back, it's better to be busy, you can't fight the troops on the front line, let's sleep in the rear."

When the division commander heard Meng Chuan's words, he really didn't understand what kind of person Meng Chuan was, wouldn't it be good to put you in the back to sleep? You just have to find something to do.

I said why the atmosphere of the engineer battalion can change so quickly, you can't stop doing anything else, who has the heart to do other things?

"Okay, then you engineer battalion go and do it, but before you do it, give me a copy of the infrastructure plan, don't mess with me. If you delay the route of our large army support because of your construction of fortifications, then don't say that you have no reward this time, maybe I will punish you. ”

Meng Chuan's overall view has always been very strong, and he will definitely not make a mistake in this matter, "Commander, don't worry, I'll go get you the infrastructure map." ”

After Meng Chuan left, the political commissar smiled, "This Xiao Meng is really a talent, he is really wronged by putting him in the engineer battalion, I said that our synthetic battalion is not going to be formed, I think Xiao Meng is very suitable." ”

When the division commander heard the words of the political commissar, he laughed, "Old Qi, I originally wanted to transfer Xiao Meng to the Sharp Knife Battalion as the battalion commander, but you didn't want to, why do you support Meng Chuan so much now to be the commander of the synthetic battalion?" ”

The political commissar laughed embarrassedly, "At this time and that time, at that time, we only knew that Meng Chuan was a capable person, but no one saw it with their own eyes, and now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they can't waste talents, I think Xiao Meng is very suitable for going to the synthetic camp." ”

The division commander also planned to choose who was more suitable for the commander of the synthetic battalion between the commander of the sharp knife battalion and Meng Chuan, and at that time he was more inclined to Meng Chuan, after all, Meng Chuan was the deputy battalion commander in the synthetic battalion of the A Group Army, this is a qualified person, and now the political commissar has agreed, then there is no problem, the two leaders in the division have no opinion, how dare others have an opinion.

"Lao Qi, since you have said so, then this matter will be done according to yours, and after the exercise is over, we will transfer Meng Chuan to the synthetic battalion."

As soon as Meng Chuan came out of the camp, Duan You followed, "How about it, Lao Li, what are we going to do next?" ”

Meng Chuan looked at Duan You's excited face and shrugged his shoulders, "Old Duan, when I tell me what we're going to do, you may not be happy." Shall we go to the rear to build a second line of defense? ”

When Duan You heard this, he was a little stunned, "What? Build a second line of defense? However, there is no dangerous terrain to defend there, and if you want to build fortifications, it will take a long time. Besides, didn't we just come back from a mission, we ran for a day and a night, and we didn't let us have a good rest, why did we have to go to that kind of place to do meaningless work? ”

Meng Chuan was a little surprised when he heard Duan You's complaint, "Old Duan, it's the first time I've seen you complain, what's wrong?" Coming to the fast reaction division, not adapting? ”

Duan You is indeed complaining, yes, I am a soldier, it is my duty to obey orders, what the superiors tell us to do, we should do it, I didn't say this.

But soldiers deserve to die on the battlefield, you let me go to the front line, let me rush to the front, this I am definitely the fastest, but you let me go to the rear to dig the soil and dig a pit, it doesn't make any sense, then I must complain.

Meng Chuan saw that Duan You didn't speak, and smiled, "This time it wasn't arranged by the superiors, but I took the initiative to ask for it, I always feel that the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team is not a fuel-efficient lamp, we have to do something." ”

"Besides, they are all on the battlefield, everyone else is fighting with their lives, and our engineer battalion is lying in the back and sleeping, is this in the past? So no matter what we do, as long as we get tired, others won't be able to gossip, and you don't want me to be talked about by others all the time as someone who is tight in front and tight in the back. ”
