Chapter 1057: Reconnaissance Instructions
In a dense jungle about five kilometers from the side, there is also an artillery position, although the number of artillery fire is not much, but as long as there is a fight here, the support of this row of artillery fire will also give the other side a headache.
There are a large number of machine guns and snipers on the commanding heights at the back, and the foot of the mountain is also full of mines and traps, leaving only two paths to go up the mountain in the rear, and they are very conspicuous, and it is quite unlikely that you want to sneak up the mountain from here. In the latter two cities, the evacuation of citizens is still in progress, but the evacuation of the urban areas near the suburbs has almost been completed, and there are basically no ones left who are still breathing.
Troops soon appeared in the area and began to build fortifications, create barricades, destroy bunkers, and more.
If the enemy does hit here, then the first battlefield should be in a small mountainous area outside the city, but the terrain there is simply not enough to stop the enemy's footsteps, so the later battles will definitely be pulled into the city for street fighting. At this time, General Wang had already begun to arrange the environment in the city, and the officers of all levels under his command were holding meetings together, intensively formulating a series of actions and details.
In the end, the details of the matter began to be left to the junior officers themselves to discuss. This kind of thing is a trivial matter, General Wang is only in charge of strategic deployment and deployment, and the task of grassroots officers is to choose how to fight. If this matter had to be decided by General Wang, then such a big battle, General Wang alone would definitely not be able to bear it.
The 3rd Independent Division, General Wang, was sent to garrison Yongdan City. Once the Japanese soldiers come to the city, then Yongdan City will definitely bear the brunt and the pressure will be the greatest. Because the front of the city is an open area, there is nothing, and you can drive all the way into the city by following the road. However, there is a small mountainous area outside Lindong City. Entering the city required a detour, relatively speaking, attacking Lindong City would be troublesome, and the conditions did not allow large troops to pour into the city at the same time.
In that case, it is better to concentrate most of your energy on attacking Yongdan City, where the entrance is open. Even if it has ferocious resistance firepower, it will not compress the attacking team's offensive strength, and the relative probability of breaking through is greater. Moreover, this is a granary in front of the station, and the city itself also has ammunition in production, breaking through here can cut off the supply of ammunition to some Chinese troops, and at the same time, it will also put Lindong City in a state of being flanked on both sides, and the possibility of capturing is naturally greater.
No matter how you think about it, the pressure on Yongdan City will be the greatest. Therefore, General Wang basically did not reserve, except for some soldiers who served as communications, the 3rd Independent Division was all deployed to Yongdan City. At the same time, the Seventh Army in the rear also left enough reinforcements, and if the fighting got out of control, within two days, reinforcements would arrive.
There are 5,000 people left to guard the side of Lindong City for the time being, and there are fewer people, but they will not be crushed by the enemy at the first touch. There were five thousand people on the commanding heights. Eight thousand people were deployed on the river defense line. In addition to these defensive troops, a total of 10,000 field troops were scattered in the field. In addition, there are 2,000 artillery units, 1,000 reconnaissance units, and 500 special operations squads.
The rest of the troops, General Wang, were placed in the rear to rest and stand by, in case of emergency.
The defense line ahead was almost entirely full of people. If you put the troops in, the space will be very narrow, and when the other side bombards it with a few shells, your own losses will make your heart ache. It is better to keep these troops on standby for the time being and stay in the rear. It can be used as a new force, where there is danger, and where it can be deployed, and in addition to any unexpected things, there are troops in their hands that can move immediately to ensure the flexibility of their own command.
So far, the deployment of troops on the defensive line has been completed, the artillery is about to set off for the destination, the field troops are also resting in Yongdan City and Lindong City, and the special forces have also begun to count the mission information and battle plans, and the only ones with actual action are the reconnaissance units.
Now the reconnaissance unit has completely detached itself from the defense zone and is heading to the east to reconnoiter and intelligence near the Japanese troops. On the other hand, air force reconnaissance planes have also arrived one after another, preparing to take off for reconnaissance, intelligence departments have begun to set up rapidly, supply lines have been completely established, and some troops will come to the defense area after they have been assembled, air force fighter wings and helicopter units will also arrive, and transport planes will also bring a large amount of materials and energy for their own use.
General Wang carefully looked at the list in his hand, calculating the resources he could use. After a long time, he slowly put down the list in his hand.
Come on, I'm ready here, let me see how strong you really are!
General Wang said secretly in his heart.
On the other hand, the Black Saber Squad is now resting in Yongdan City.
At this time, the Japanese side had not moved. It has only been three days since the Black Saber Squad came to the defense area, and in three days, it is impossible to even achieve perfect mobilization before the war, not to mention that there are other troubles to clean up, the other party's headache now is definitely not to attack, there are still many things waiting for them.
The troops are still busy. Yongdan City is very large, if you want to completely turn this place into a battlefield, the manpower, material resources and time required for transformation are massive, at this time in Yongdan City, almost no one is resting, are busy in all corners of the city.
There are many things that Zhang Tianhai can't understand. For example, in some places, the entire windows and doors have been torn down, and they are hollow, and there is no ability to resist invasion at all. There are also roadblocks on some roads, and not far away there are several cars in the middle of the road, all of which have their tires removed and their engines broken, turning them into a pile of scrap metal. But some roads were planted with bombs, and with a loud bang, a deep crater appeared in the middle of the road, let alone open to traffic, even if a tank came, don't want to cross this crater.
Similar situations are everywhere in the city, and it is unpredictable.
The Third Independent Division, which is good at defense, naturally will not do some useless and stupid things, otherwise this name will not fall on their heads. Although he couldn't understand it, Zhang Tianhai was able to determine that most of these things should be useful when the time came to war.
What can understand a little bit is a night meteor.
From some angles, the Night Meteor can see a lot of locations that are perfect for sniping. Standing in front of a large crater that has been blown out, the Night Meteor confirmed that there are at least four places that can snipe themselves, and they are very concealed and safe, even if the tank is here, they are not afraid, and the four sniper positions, two of which can also deploy individual missiles, are excellent attack positions.
Some intersections have also blown up a lot of low buildings, from the blown up gaps, the night meteors can also see a lot of sniper positions, and those bombed down ruins are also deliberately scattered on the side of the road, so that only the middle of the road can barely move smoothly, on both sides, but ups and downs, vehicles driving on it, it will definitely not be comfortable, and after a long time, there is the possibility of a flat tire.
In order not to affect the "construction" of these people, Zhang Tianhai and others did not leave the barracks for several days, quietly waiting for the order from above.
After another three days, General Wang's order came directly to everyone.
"The troops of the second theater have signs of activity, order the black saber squad to go to the 430-kilometer mileage of National Highway 915 to conduct static reconnaissance, once they find any movement of the enemy, immediately report, if they encounter enemy scouts, assassinate them along the way, if they detect the activities of enemy troops, immediately report and retreat at the same time, and go to the mountains 60 kilometers south of the first line of defense to wait for the next order."
The orders are very detailed, and there is basically nothing to ask. After receiving the order, all the people immediately began to prepare.
National Highway 915 is the only way for the second theater to enter the battlefield of the first theater, and if you come by another road, it will be farther away, where you can only meet the Japanese troops in the first theater, and there is no meaning. Therefore, the Japanese troops in the second theater of operations must have taken this route, and if they wait here, they will definitely be able to discover the movements of the enemy troops.
However, it is still relatively early, if you do static reconnaissance here, then the consumption of food and water will be very large, so on this trip, you need to carry more food, and you don't need to bring too much ammunition, because the possibility of encountering the enemy is relatively small, and according to the nature of the action and order, even if you encounter the enemy, the number will not be too much, so the amount of ammunition is not so harsh.
The extra weight can be used to carry food and water. In addition, batteries, medical kits, night vision devices, and other auxiliary combat equipment are definitely needed.
When I opened the map, I quickly found the location with a mileage of 430 kilometers.
There was a hill that was not too high, but definitely not low, and the road was sandwiched between the hills, running from north to south. There are very few plants, basically all wasteland and loess. Monitor here, use the terrain, and be able to hide yourself well. However, this side is not too far from the desert, so the temperature in the vicinity is very high, and how to escape the heat is also a problem after being in this state for a long time.
About five kilometers into the mountains on the west side of the road, you can see a river. The river has not been polluted, it is clear and can be cited. Because of the existence of this water source, plants grow in a small area around it, and animals also move around. This provided the Black Sabre team with a source of food and water, and with the food they carried, they were able to stay here for a long time.
An hour later, the Black Sabre squad left Yongdan City and headed east. A soldier is responsible for driving them to the designated location, and the rest of the operation needs to be decided by the Black Saber team itself. (To be continued......)
