The goals of the two people were surprisingly consistent. Although Liao Mingyu had the advantage of foresight, after carefully studying the geographical location of Jiqipo, he had to sigh that this was truly the best defensive position.
Long Wenwen's strategic vision is also quite unique. He can find the key points of the entire defense line from a simple flat map. He is indeed a natural commanding genius.
"What do you mean, Danzao?"
Long Wenwen worked hard for a while. Meng Fangliao and other key members of the Sichuan Army were present in the room, so he didn't want to steal the limelight from the group.
After all, sometimes the subordinates will be jealous of their superiors if they are too smart. How can a good person make such a low-level mistake? Although Liao Mingyu would not be suspicious of him at all.
"What I mean is that the Sichuan Army marches to Jiqi Slope, builds positions there, and establishes a defense line. It can not only form a favorable basis with Yu Xiaoqing's troops to assist each other in defense, but also launch an offensive against the Japanese army at an oblique angle, forming a southeastern direction for them. threaten."
Liao Mingyu pointed to this place on the map and spoke slowly to everyone.
"Wonderful, this position can be used both offensively and defensively. It's absolutely amazing to place the troops here!" Meng Fanglia couldn't help but clapped his hands in praise.
"If we arrange our troops here, that old Japs Takeuchi will definitely feel uncomfortable. He will definitely divide his troops to defend our direction. This will also be an advantage for our entire Nujiang defense line."
Long Wenwen crossed his arms and said with certainty. Jiqipo seems to be safe and sound, but it is the decisive place for the battle of Nantianmen!
After yesterday's battle, the Japanese army has realized that the Chinese army's defensive strength is not as weak as they imagined. Takeuchi immediately changed the situation from offense to defense.
Because he knew that he would definitely not be able to effectively break through the Nujiang defense line with a single unit in his hand. Even if he forced an attack, it would be an act of self-destruction.
On the current frontal defense line, the main force of the Yu Division is facing the Japanese army across the river. The two armies have formed a confrontational and stalemate situation. Neither side will be able to launch a major offensive in the short term, and the situation will be difficult to change for the time being.
The Jiqi Slope is located 2.3 kilometers south of the river defense of Yushi's launch line, looking diagonally across the Tianmen South River on the opposite bank. If viewed from a plan view, this place will form a triangle with the defense lines on both sides.
If the little devil crosses the Nujiang River from here and reaches Jiqi Slope. Occupy the terrain and build positions. Then he launched a surprise attack on Master Yu and launched a frontal offensive at the same time. Under attack from both sides, how could Master Yu protect himself?
Jiqipo is the weakest point in terms of firepower of the entire Nujiang defense line, and it is also the place that Yu Xiaoqing despises the most. However, because of the dangerous terrain, broken cliffs, and natural dangers, it has become a place where a lot of effort can be made.
It can be said that Jiqipo is a point, a breakthrough point to break the current stalemate between the two armies. From this point, pressure can be smoothly exerted on either side, putting it in a more embarrassing state.
"Tour members, do we want to inform Yu Xiaoqing as well?"
Ayi thought for a while and put forward his own opinion. Although I don’t really like those guys who have high vision but low hand, if they can get the cooperation of friendly forces, the subsequent deployment of defense will be much easier.
"That's bullshit, they should forget it. We are just keeping things in check. Do you want them to cooperate with us? That's like a fight between monks and nothing more!"
Meng Fanglia said to him disdainfully, "What are you thinking about? Why is Ayi so naive?"
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and let's get started without further delay. The messenger ordered the whole battalion to assemble."
"Yes, leader!"
Ding Xiaoer agreed and ran out of the room immediately.
Liao Mingyu made the final decision, and the decision must be taken immediately.
The soldiers of the First Battalion of the Sichuan Army organized their equipment, packed their bags, and took action quickly. Liao Mingyu got into his jeep. This time he did not drive himself. The driver was Kang Ya, the only one who could drive a truck.
"Kang Ya, can you do it? If you can't do it, don't show off." Meng Fanlao stood in the back row and said with some worry.
Because the space of Willis military jeeps is relatively compact, apart from the front seats, there is only a standing position for the machine gunner in the back row, and Chief of Staff Meng now plays the role of a machine gunner.
"Clutch, brake, accelerator... this is almost the same as a truck. It's no problem." Kang Ya checked the jeep, patted his chest confidently and agreed.
"Then let's go, stop inking." Liao Mingyu sat on the passenger seat with a carefree attitude.
After the car started, it slowly started to move forward. Meng Fan was a little worried about this, so he grabbed the bracket next to him tightly.
Kang Ya's skills were not very good, but he was still competent. Liao Mingyu wanted to praise him a few times, but just after he passed the corner, the jeep rolled over a big rock, causing a bump that almost made Meng get out of the car. Shake it out.
"Mom, pull your ass!"
Meng Fangli grabbed the machine gun in shock and yelled: "Your uncle's Kanghuo Scythe! You want to kill the young master. I almost flew out!"
"Oh, it was a mistake. It's been a long time since I drove." Kang Ya also looked embarrassed and said sheepishly.
Liao Mingyu rubbed his forehead that hit the door panel and said helplessly: "If you want to drive for me in the future, you have to practice more, otherwise I will deduct your military pay!"
"Yes, yes, leader." Kang Ya replied calmly.
…
The first battalion soon arrived at the Jiqi Slope. The entire hillside was rugged with boulders, and there were not many trees on the top of the mountain. It was bare and slightly empty.
The side facing the Nu River is a steep cliff, almost at a right angle to the river. There is only a narrow shoal on the river side. If you want to get up from the river, you can only climb up slowly from the steep slopes with trees on both sides.
In the telescope, the outline of the Nantian Gate slowly appeared in front of my eyes.
The straight-line distance from here to Nantianmen is about three to five kilometers. This position is just enough for the shooting range of the 92 infantry gun. With a telescope, you can even see the busy little Japan on the opposite side of the Nantianmen.
Liao Mingyu put down the telescope and shouted to Long Wenwen: "Long Wenwen, lead them to build positions quickly. We have enough time. Dig the trenches as deep as possible, paying special attention to the individual anti-artillery bunkers. By the way, Krupp and the others are coming. ."
"I know, Krupp is still with the Second Battalion, but Li Wula has come over. Except for those 105 howitzers, he has moved all the other artillery here."
Long Wenwen stared at the defense map in his hand and talked to himself. He held a pencil in his mouth and drew defensive positions on the white paper while observing the terrain of Jiqi Slope.
"Damn, these are the only two people in our regiment who know how to drive now. Next time we have to ask Zhao Gongming to send some transport troops. These German ladies can't move without a truck."
Liao Mingyu said to himself. After thinking for a while, he felt that he still had to find a way. He yelled at Kang Ya who was groping around the jeep next to him:
"Kang Ya, come with me to the Zhendong Second Battalion station later. We can make a few more trips to cooperate with Krupp and the others in transporting the howitzers. I will give Takeuchi extra food later!"
