Chapter 1369: Containment
Sun Bing did not take the Houjin army lightly because the battle went relatively smoothly yesterday evening, and he also knew that the enemy's performance in this confrontation was still mainly tentative, and he did not let go of his hands and feet to attack with all his might. Although the two companies of the Marine Corps had established a stronghold on the basis of an abandoned fishing village, the fortifications they hastily laid out were actually very weak and fragile, and it was impossible to turn this small village into an armed fortress like the city of Lushun Zhongzuo.
If the Houjin army attacked this place with heavy troops, most of the marines would not defend this place for safety reasons, and would still retreat to the coast. No matter how radical Wang Tom is, he will never risk the safety of his elite troops, and the Marine Corps does not look like there are many men, but it takes a lot of energy and military expenses to form such a team, and sending them to land ashore is to exercise combat experience, not to fight the enemy to the end.
Of course, before that, the Marines still had to do their best to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy troops, creating enough scenes for this feint to be realistic, and only after the Houjin felt pressure would they let the troops on the Lushun front withdraw to the Jinzhou Isthmus.
After clearing the battlefield, Sun Bing and his soldiers worked together to reinforce the existing fortifications and began to deploy barbed wire at the main roads in and out of the village. The snake-bellied barbed wire fence is very easy to place, and after pulling it apart, it can be supported and fixed by nailing it into the ground with a wooden stake at intervals, which is very easy to install and dismantle, and has an excellent defensive effect. Whether it is against infantry or cavalry, this thing is an extremely useful simple fortification, and has always been fixed as one of the essential combat materials in the army.
Yesterday the Marines entered the fishing village in a hurry, and a lot of supplies were not transported from the ship in time, and they were used as barricades using masonry and tree trunks and the like. The barbed wire was unloaded from the ship early this morning and immediately deployed to the village to block the road. If the Houjin army attacked closely, these barbed wire fences could buy more time for the marines in the village to react.
In addition to the barbed wire, the Marines took the time to reinforce the bunkers on the outskirts of the village, so that some sections of the bunkers were wide enough for soldiers to line up behind them to shoot in formation. In last night's hasty battle, most of the personnel in the village could only disperse behind various ruins and ruins to hide, which still had a certain impact on the effectiveness of the firepower output, and also increased the difficulty of the officer's command.
The Marines will not be stationed here for too long, and will take the initiative to evacuate after completing the task of containing the Houjin army, and it is not worth it to carry out too much renovation here, so they can only get some temporary defense works to deal with it for a few days in advance. Fortunately, when the fleet came here to sweep in the past, Sun Bing had already selected this place, and he had also gone ashore twice to reconnoitre, drew a detailed plan of the village, and made a plan for the deployment of troops in advance, so the actions of the marines after entering the village this time were all in an orderly manner, and they were not panicked at all because of the unfamiliar environment.
Sun Bing knew that the Houjin army would never stop there, so he had to seize the time to strengthen the fortifications of the fishing village and wait for the next wave of the Houjin army's offensive to come here.
