    Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun's predictions were quite accurate. Sure enough, on the third day, the Japanese aircraft stopped reconnaissance of this mountain forest after finding nothing.  [.Com text] Whether it is to give up completely, move to other places, or prepare to change other reconnaissance methods, Yang Zhen cannot know.  But Yang Zhen knew that the Japanese army would never give up their efforts to find his traces.  In terms of toughness, if the little devil takes second place, no one dares to take first place.

    After the Japanese reconnaissance planes withdrew, Yang Zhen immediately ordered his troops to prepare for battle.  Not only have posts been added at night, but light and dark posts have been coordinated to ensure that the firepower points have entered the first level of combat readiness.  Even the daytime warning posts are placed far away, and the method of cooperating between light and dark posts is also implemented.  At the same time, a lot of various blocking positions were added around the station. Even despite the objections of several other people, extremely concealed communication trenches were built between the various fortifications.

    Fortunately, Zhangguangcai Ridge, which has not yet been developed on a large scale at this time, is full of virgin forests that cover the sky and the sun. Hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, there is no shortage of anything, except for wood.  Although there is no reinforced concrete, the protective properties of the fortifications are somewhat compromised.  However, the abundant wood resources and Yang Zhen's painstaking design make various fortifications extremely concealable.  For many fortifications, if there is no fire, most people will think that it is just a little bumpkin even if they walk very close.

    On the third day after the Japanese planes withdrew, I stood on a hillside overlooking the entire secret camp and watched the troops who were busy building fortifications in accordance with Yang Zhen's requirements of concealment, solidity, and mutual support. They had been fighting guerrillas for many years.  Li Yanping, who fought if he won and left if he couldn't, said to Yang Zhen: "Commander, are you too careful? If the Japanese army really discovers us, if that doesn't work, we can completely abandon this place. It is not a good idea to stick to one place.  ¡±

    Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Political Commissar, I understand what you mean. If you can win, fight, if you can't win, leave. Regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, only in this situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak can we preserve our own strength.  Under the circumstances, that¡¯s what we should do most.¡±

    "But political commissar, I am not building these fortifications just to defend one place. In these deep mountains and old forests, the dense vegetation does provide us with an excellent hiding place, but it also provides a lot of opportunities for sneak attacks by the Japanese and puppet troops.  Convenience. Good vegetation blocks not only the sight of the Japanese and puppet troops, but also has the same effect for us. "

    "With these fortifications, even if the Japs get in front of us, we can still fight, at least until we find a favorable opportunity to break out. Without these fortifications, once the Japs attack us, we will be passive  . Night battles, especially hasty battles at night, are not a good thing for us or the Japanese and puppet troops. "

    "Even if we take a step back, the little devils have not touched here, and these fortifications have not played any role here, but they have also exercised the army's ability to do soil work. Unless we always want to be hidden in the mountains like now  If there is no battle in Laolin, these troops will have to learn sooner or later, so it is better to make some preparations in advance."

    After saying that, Yang Zhen turned to Guo Bingxun beside him and said: "Old Guo, after these fortifications are completed, order each company to build a communication trench to its own barracks, and you can't just build one communication trench. Each company must build at least one communication trench.  Build two to prevent people from blocking the barracks."

    "In addition, for the completed fortifications, each company must dispatch troops on duty every day based on the combat area it is responsible for, with a platoon structure. Especially for the main fortifications, at least one reinforcement squad must be sent. Tell the company commanders of each company to  Pay attention to the rotation of the troops and do not let the troops feel tired."

    Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "I think it's okay. Not only do each company have to send out troops, I wonder if a few of us should also take turns to work, and one person should be left on duty at the headquarters every night?"

    Hearing Guo Bingxun¡¯s suggestion, Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and couldn¡¯t help cursing himself for being so careless, even neglecting something as important as the main commander¡¯s duty.  I only thought about arranging the troops on duty, but I forgot about the chief officer being on duty.  If it hadn't been for Guo Bingxun's reminder, I probably wouldn't have thought of making up for such a big omission until now.

    In response to Guo Bingxun's suggestion, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "This is an oversight on my part. It should have been handled long ago. In this case, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang has not come back yet. Just the four of us will take turns on duty first, and each one will take one day. Today we will start first  It¡¯s up to me.¡±

    Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the fortifications that were gradually taking shape and sighed slightly: "We still lack equipment. If there are enough mines, scattering a circle or even several circles around the perimeter of the position will increase our safety.  It will be greatly increased and the number of security forces will be greatly saved. In addition, it would be great if there were enough telephones, so that communication between various positions would be much more convenient. "

      When he first joined the army in later generations, Yang Zhen, who went to the local Invalid Hospital several times to do voluntary labor, once had a lot of chats with a disabled soldier who came down from the battle between the two mountains.  He once heard the disabled soldier talk about many of his experiences fighting in the two mountains.

    For the disabled soldier who fought for nearly a year on a mountain that attracted the attention of China for a whole decade in the 1980s, the most unforgettable impression left on him on that mountain was not the lack of water, nor the lack of water.  The intensive artillery fire between the enemy and ourselves was countless on the mountain. Until Yang Zhen lost his military status and returned to this era, there were no landmines that could be completely cleared.

    At that time, this disabled soldier, who was blown up by landmines all over the mountainous area, and his original body of 1.80 meters shrunk to 1.08 meters after surgery, once told Yang Zhen, a rookie recruit, that he had to fight on that mountain.  The types and styles of landmines laid by both the enemy and ourselves are beyond your imagination and nothing is impossible.  And in terms of the number of minefields per unit, it can be called the highest in the world.

    Both the enemy and us have even used rocket mines to mine vehicles in certain key areas.  And those landmines will move under the impact of the abundant rain in the subtropics of southern Xinjiang. Who knows where they will go.  Even if the mines have clearly been swept across the rear, after a heavy rain, there are many such mines.

    The disabled soldier once told Yang Zhen that their regiment had an engineer company that was fully staffed when they went up. When they came down, except for the casualties and disabled ones, the complete squad was less than one. All the casualties were in  It was blown up by a mine while clearing mines.

    Except for a few lucky ones who became disabled, most of them died.  In war zones, many casualties are related to landmines.  Especially in the later period, after our side gained an absolute advantage in artillery fire, almost most of the casualties were caused by landmines.

    As for himself, he was injured during a cross-border reconnaissance, because a comrade did not prepare his backpack before departure.  While resting on the way, I hit a booby trap hanging on the bamboo next to me because of my excessive movements when I was carrying it again.  Connected to this extremely strangely arranged mine are blasting tubes, cluster grenades and at least five or six similar mines.

    The entire reconnaissance squad was blown away by a series of mines without even firing a shot. Before they even encountered the enemy, they lost their combat effectiveness.  Except for the soldier who died on the spot, the rest were all wounded.  He, who was the least injured at the time, triggered two landmines in succession while rescuing his comrades.  The resting area was mined by engineers.

    He didn¡¯t even know whether the landmine he touched was planted by his own people or by his opponents.  Because after decades of China's massive national assistance, its opponents also had many of the standard Type 72 anti-infantry mines and grenades equipped by the Chinese ** troops at that time.

    Since then, Yang Zhen has become very interested in weapons such as landmines, which are not very lethal among weapons, but are extremely cost-effective in combat, especially in defensive warfare.

    After being selected into the special forces brigade, he became even more interested in this kind of weapon, which could even be said to be somewhat immoral.  In the several covert operations he participated in, his favorite weapon was various types of landmines.  In the Special Forces Brigade, he was once called the King of Thunder because of his hobby and various methods of laying mines.

    Recalling the various resources that he could use in the past, Yang Zhen sighed.  The few captured Japanese landmines on hand have been used up a long time ago, but now I don't have a single weapon of this type that is excellent for defensive warfare.

    Looking at the busy soldiers, and thinking about the huge role played by land mines in the battle between the two mountains in later generations, Yang Zhen made a determination: "When certain conditions are met, I must find a way to build a repair shop. Even if  You can¡¯t make high-tech gadgets like rifles and ammunition, but you must at least be able to repair firearms damaged in battle, and you must be able to make mines and grenades. With this, you will get twice the result with half the effort when fighting an ambush.¡±

    Thinking of this, Yang Zhen turned his head and said to Guo Bingxun who was following him: "Old Guo, we have to find a way to set up a repair shop with a certain production capacity. Otherwise, we will seize the damaged weapons in the battle and destroy them ourselves.  They can only be thrown away in vain.¡±

    "In addition, we have a repair shop with a certain production capacity. We can manufacture grenades, mines, and reloading ammunition in large quantities. At least it can solve the problem of some of our ammunition sources. Especially mines, if we have this now  Weapons that are extremely effective in defensive warfare and placed in a circle or several circles around the position, as a necessary defensive method, can greatly save our troops. "

    Hearing this, Guo Bingxun nodded.  He also believed that with the expansion of the army, it was necessary to establish a repair shop.  After several battles, almost every battle can be capturedSome of the weapons were damaged, and my own troops also had battle-damaged weapons every time.

    And many of these weapons only need simple repairs before they can be put into use again.  However, no one in his own army knew how to maintain ordnance, and many of the captured weapons were damaged and then thrown away with only minor damage but no repairs.  This will cause huge waste.

    And as the army continues to expand, the amount of ammunition used will increase.  Only through seizure means the source of ammunition is too single.  And in many cases, the ammunition seized may not be able to make up for the consumption.  If one's own troops can reload some bullets and the original ammunition captured is only used for machine guns, then the cost of combat will be greatly reduced.

    The same goes for grenades.  Guo Bingxun, who was born in an army with poor firepower like the Sichuan Army, has a special preference for grenades, a weapon that can effectively make up for the lack of firepower in close combat. Like most people with similar backgrounds, Guo Bingxun has a special preference.  He was deeply impressed by the Sichuan Army's horsetail grenades, which were easy to produce.  If you have a repair shop, you can make some grenades, which is also much safer than just relying on seizures.

    He seemed to be quite disapproving of what Yang Zhen said about landmines.  In Guo Bingxun's view, landmines are basically useless in offensive warfare.  In defensive warfare, apart from fixed defense, the rest of the combat role is not very important.

    Trip mines need to be hung with strings when in use, otherwise they will be dangerous.  And pressure-fired landmines can easily cause accidental injuries. As for electrically-fired landmines, there are still very few of them in China.  In mountainous operations, especially when there is a high chance of sneak attacks on each other, weapons like landmines are not the best method.  Because there is no guarantee that he will not accidentally hurt one of his own.  Rather than placing hope on landmines, it is better to think of ways to make the fortifications more perfect.

    However, although he didn¡¯t pay attention to Yang Zhen¡¯s emphasis on landmines, Guo Bingxun agreed with Yang Zhen¡¯s proposal to establish a repair shop that not only had maintenance capabilities, but also had partial manufacturing capabilities.

    Listening to the conversation between the two people about setting up an armory, Li Yanping, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected: "When you talk about an armory, I think of the Eleventh Army operating in Northern Manchuria at the junction of Fujin and Huachuan.  There is a small arsenal in Qixinglizi Mountain."

    "Not only can various light weapons be repaired there, but bullets can also be reloaded, and some weapons can even be manufactured. They have such an arsenal, which brings great convenience to the operations of the Eleventh Army and even the Third Route Army. At the very least,  The situation of lack of ammunition is much better than that of other troops who have to be completely captured from the enemy. It is a pity that they are too far away from us and the enemy situation on the road is very complicated. Otherwise, our damaged weapons can be sent to them for repair."

    Yang Zhen nodded and said: "Yes, with an arsenal or repair shop that can repair and manufacture weapons, the pressure on ammunition has been greatly reduced for us. But this is what is needed to establish a repair shop.  It¡¯s not just machinery and equipment, it also requires talent, especially skilled workers, which are hard to find.¡±

    As he was talking, Yang Zhen saw Xiao Huzi carrying a few lunch boxes up the mountain to look for a few of his people. After looking down at the time on the watch, he realized that it was time for dinner.

    Yang Zhen smiled and said to several people: "But difficulties are difficulties, and we still have to find ways to solve them. Does it depend on man-made problems? As long as we work hard, I think there will be a way to solve it. Now let's eat first. After eating, let's  Let¡¯s take a walk and see if there are any deficiencies in the fortifications.¡±

    ¡° Just as Yang Zhen and the others picked up their lunch boxes, there was a sudden quarrel down the mountain.  Yang Zhen looked at the soldiers at the bottom of the mountain who were arguing around the cooking team delivering meals. The several company and platoon commanders in charge were obviously unable to hold back. He couldn't help but frowned and stuffed the lunch box into Xiao Huzi's arms.  Walked down the mountain.

    Seeing Yang Zhen¡¯s arrival, the few soldiers who had been arguing happily just shut their mouths.  The cooking squad leader looked at Yang Zhen with some grievances and said: "Commander, please give me some advice. The soldiers all said that they have been training and repairing fortifications these past few days, and they are really hungry just eating these, and they want to eat something meaty.  "

    "I also know that the soldiers are right. The people who train us in the cooking class also have to participate, and it is very intense. I know that. The weather is getting colder day by day, and I can't bear the hunger without meat. I also know that. But in  In these deep mountains and old forests, where can I go to find meat for them?¡±

    "You are not allowed to hunt during this period, and the confiscated canned meat is not allowed to be touched except for the sick and wounded. Now I am also a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice. There is really no way. The mushrooms and fungus used to make soup are still our cooking  The staff of the class went to the mountains to pick it up during their busy schedule.¡±

    "I can understand the soldiers saying that the diet is not good. After all, the things we have on hand are limited. No matter how we try to cook them, they are all sorghum, rice, pickles, and not even potatoes or cabbage. But they don'tIt should be said that I drank the blood of the soldiers, and besides giving the delicious food to the leaders, I ate it all myself, but deprived them of it.  "

    As soon as the cooking squad leader finished speaking, a soldier on one side stood up and said: "Commander, it's not us who are causing trouble for them. But you don't know the situation. Today we are training, repairing fortifications, and learning to write.  Yes. We are all from the banker family, so we are not afraid of being tired, but this training is tiring and there is no meat in our stomachs. It is really unbearable. "

    "Commander, there is no way we can compete with you. Although you and the other leaders ran five kilometers like us, you only carried a small gun. Our rifles plus ammunition weighed dozens of kilograms. Resistance  The heavy machine gun brother weighs nearly a hundred pounds. Let's have some food this morning.
