Guiyang Mountain.

The wind was blowing, and the dull sound of dust and shovels colliding echoed in the mountains.

Since receiving the task, Gao Jiecheng led the Third Regiment to start building positions in full swing. The trenches were not repaired on the original basis, but were advanced forward more than ten meters on the basis of the original trenches.

There were many soldiers from other regiments assisting around the trenches.

Gao Jiecheng looked down at the map and from time to time gave orders to the soldiers of the Third Regiment to dig trenches.

"Li Hongyan, have the First Company of the Third Battalion establish a heavy machine gun position in area 033. Then build trenches for two squads of soldiers on either side."

"Ma Kanghui, your trench is too far forward. Move your position back twenty meters to leave open space in front of you and form a fire intersection with the surrounding trenches."

"And Fang Ming, there's little tree cover in front of areas 012 and 024, so the field of vision is wide. We must have a heavy machine gun position. Cut down the big trees on the right to prevent them from becoming cover for the Japanese."

Sitting on a huge rock, Gao Jiecheng kept scanning the structures of the surrounding positions. The structure of each position showed what he had learned and the experience accumulated in his memory.

Every time something is done, it will be marked on the map, and many positions begin to become active on the map.

A breeze blew, and the rustling of leaves and the sound of digging trenches merged together, as if forming a symphony for the entire forest.

All the soldiers of the Third Regiment and some soldiers from other regiments who came to help never stopped.

However, Gao Jiecheng frowned at this time and looked at the trenches, positions, and fire distribution points on the map.

I couldn't help but think about the route, because if I put myself in the shoes of the entire Guiyang Mountain, if the Japanese wanted to attack, they could only come from the south and east, because there was a cliff on the north, and a small amount of defense would make it difficult for the Japanese to move forward.

To the west is the long Nuru Erhu Mountain Range, where the main force of the Tiger Brigade is located. He does not need to worry about the defense of this area. The focus is still on the present. It is definitely a good terrain, but it is unrealistic to say that there are many natural barriers.

"Plus, the number of the Japanese must be greater than theirs. If we want to reduce casualties..." Gao Jiecheng underestimated it and looked at an open area at the foot of the mountain with a telescope.

"Maybe it can be used." Gao Jiecheng's eyes flashed slightly, and his expression gradually became cold.

After pondering for a moment, he immediately shouted loudly into the distance.

"Li Hongyan." Gao Jiecheng suddenly spoke.

Li Hongyan, who was not far away, heard the words and immediately ran over.

"Captain."

"Have Ma Kanghui open up a new position right there. Dig deep, at least three meters high. Give each soldier a plank of wood. Just make a foothold where we can fire our weapons."

"Isn't this trench too deep..."

"Excuting an order."

"Yes."

Li Hongyan straightened his body and immediately turned around to deliver the message.

As Li Hongyan went to the front line and conveyed the instructions, Ma Kanghui soon ordered people to find wooden boards and heavy wooden sticks to start opening up a new position.

The entire position was pushed to the front, but the firepower of each position could cover this position, forming a horn. The firepower could be fired at the same time, leaving the Japanese attacking at the front with no room to advance.

The heavy machine gun positions in the rear provided heavy firepower covering almost the entire hillside for several hundred meters. Once the giant tree on the right was cut down, the Japanese had no cover at all except the black soil.

It can be said that the four heavy machine guns here are equivalent to the firepower of a battalion stationed here.

Maximized firepower utilization.

However, the depth of the excavation made Ma Kanghui a little dazed.

"Why do you think the captain is digging so deep?" Ma Kanghui asked Fang Ming beside him curiously.

Fang Ming on the side thought seriously for a moment, and finally shook his head:

"Battalion Commander, this three-meter-deep and three-meter-wide trench is a trap for Japanese tanks. It's probably used to prevent tanks. But this is deep in the mountains and old forests. Even if the Japanese tanks want to come, there won't be many, right?"

Fang Ming guessed, but the more he guessed, the more confused he became. After all, the depth of the trench made it difficult for these soldiers to find a foothold.

It was reasonable to add some V-shaped trenches to prevent the Japanese aircraft from bombing, but Fang Ming just couldn't figure out the depth.

"The commander's order must be carried out promptly."

Ma Kanghui had doubts, but he still carried out the order to the end and quickly directed the soldiers to build the position.

If the First Regiment is the one where all the members "go crazy" after the flag is raised, the Second Regiment is the one that defeats the army, and the Fourth Regiment is the largest and most standardized unit.

Then their Third Regiment is the strongest in positional warfare in the entire brigade, without a doubt. This is the reputation they earned at Zhenhun Pass.

From the Iron Camp to the Iron Regiment, this is the honor they are most proud of.

"Yes." Fang Ming nodded heavily and moved quickly.

Buckets of soil were constantly dug out from the trench, and at this time, a wide and deep trench began to take shape.

They compacted the surrounding area to form a clear position pattern, and even built a secondary trench, but this trench was obviously used for retreat.

Many soldiers were puzzled by the three-meter-high trench, including He Mingchang who came to help.

When he saw black soil appearing in the trench, his hand holding the shovel paused slightly.

He unconsciously asked Wang Fu beside him curiously, his tone full of confusion:

"Battalion Commander, wouldn't it be difficult for us to shoot in such a deep trench?" He Mingchang's tone was full of curiosity.

After all, after fighting for so many years, they have some experience in how to dig trenches and how to arrange them.

When they were fighting the Japanese counter-encirclement here with Master Yang, their trenches were all arranged in key positions.

The distribution, size and depth of trenches are extremely important.

Because their trenches were often captured by the Japanese attack, they generally did not leave any cover behind the trenches.

This will not only prevent the Japanese from using their trenches as much as possible after they capture the position.

In addition, some booby traps were set in some trenches during the evacuation.

"The Third Regiment knows what's going on. They have a unique understanding of positional warfare, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to stop an enemy that's ten times their size at Zhenhun Pass." Wang Fu took a look after hearing this and couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't dare to underestimate any regiment of the Huben Brigade.

The bravery of the Third Regiment was earned by fighting with their lives. They held back an entire brigade of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, which allowed them to safely survive the battle in Ping'an County.

"Soul-Calming Pass? The Third Regiment is the Iron Camp?" He Mingchang was stunned and blurted out.

In the previous resistance battles, we basically faced several times more Japanese soldiers, and we knew very well how much pressure it was to face several times more Japanese soldiers.

But the name of the Iron Camp at Zhenhun Pass was known throughout the country. Facing the Japanese invaders who were ten times their number, they still held out for four or five hours, and finally met with reinforcements and achieved annihilation.

Just when He Mingchang was a little dazed, a figure appeared on the battlefield, and his expression instantly became serious.

"Gao Jiecheng, very creative..." Lin Tianchen looked at the three-meter-deep and three-meter-wide trench and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Gao Jiecheng was originally directing the soldiers' excavation work when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He turned around immediately, straightened his body, and saluted.

"Brigade Commander, we've been fighting for so long, there has to be some progress."

Then he chuckled.

"That depends on how many Japanese devils you can trap." Lin Tianchen glanced at the trench and nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, he didn't have much worries about Gao Jiecheng's head-on attack, and now he is even less worried.

"Don't worry, we will resolutely implement the brigade-chief strategy. If the number is below 30,000, we will completely annihilate them. If the number is above 30,000, we will pull them out to annihilate them. If the number is 60,000, we will break through and attack them by dividing and attacking them, and then completely annihilate them." Gao Jiecheng's face was serious and his eyes were full of determination.

"...Did I say that?" Lin Tianchen's expression suddenly became strange when he heard the familiar words.

He felt that he had said this, but it didn't seem like he meant it that way.

Were you so angry when you said that?

Lin Tianchen couldn't help but mutter in his heart, looking at Gao Jiecheng with a determined face, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Why do all his subordinates get wiped out at any time?

"Dig well, and it's better to dig deeper." Lin Tianchen encouraged and then looked at other positions.
