Orders change with plans, and plans change with changes.
The latest order came down.
The 23rd Regiment, which had just been replenished, was to be dispatched to perform the garrison task of attracting and containing the Japanese troops.
It was a garrison task, which meant that it was to go forward and set up defenses at a certain possible position.
With the help of the transport troops, the officers and soldiers of the independent company quickly completed preparations.
Because they had to deal with possible defensive battles and the road was relatively short, the independent company carried a large amount of ammunition, with thirty or forty people carrying ammunition boxes on their shoulders.
The place where we were stationed before was a standard plain.
It's not far from the station.
The ground is rugged and there are occasionally a few hills piled in the middle.
When the independent company arrived, there was still a squad of soldiers here and simple fortifications that had been dug.
Zhang Wei walked over and asked.
These soldiers were originally on temporary guard duty here.
They were the last batch, waiting for Zhang Wei and the others to hand over the defense.
A squad leader came over, saluted Zhang Wei first, and then said: "Sir, we are from the 24th Regiment.
The commander asked us to stay and take over the defense."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work.
Is the position okay?"
The squad leader replied: "Sir, the position is over here.
The troops in front of the fortifications and we have dug some.
You have to dig again in some places.
There are also some sandbags sent by the engineer battalion of the division.
I have seen them before.
Several Japanese were shot away by us."
Zhang Wei patted the monitor's shoulder.
"Let's go, thank you for your hard work, just leave the position to us."
After seeing off the remaining infantry squad, Zhang Wei took a look at the position.
It was basically a standard company-level defensive position.
The fortifications were dug rather poorly, with two lines of defense at the front and rear.
The troops in front were not digging deeply, but rather shallowly.
Zhang Wei still had to ask them to strengthen.
After looking at the fortifications, Zhang Wei quickly made a defense plan.
In such a place, the Japanese army could not launch a large-scale attack.
After all, it was close to a small mountainous area and their forces could not be deployed.
So, Zhang Wei doesn't need to stay in the reserve team.
"The troops are all here.
The first and second platoons enter the first line of defense, and the third and fourth platoons enter the second line.
The mortar squad and search squad follow me.
The company headquarters is set up in the middle of the first line of defense.
The troops enter the position.
Later, the fortifications were strengthened, and the mortar squad and search squad expanded and dug back in the middle of the first line of defense to carry out company headquarters fortifications.”
The troops quickly entered the position and started working in a hurry.
The dust was flying on the position.
The soldiers further strengthened the simple fortifications dug and deepened the position.
The remaining sandbags are filled with excavated sand, filled firmly, and then placed on the position.
Zhang Wei walked inside the first line of defense to inspect and cheer up the soldiers.

The amount of digging for fortification reinforcement was actually not large.
Zhang Wei was just afraid that the new recruits' emotional instability would affect the troops' operations, so he went for a walk to let the troops know that their commanders were there and eliminate their psychological fears to the greatest extent.
When they reached the middle, Dong Erli's mortar squad and search squad were excavating the company headquarters.
The requirements for company headquarters fortifications were higher, and the bottom of the fortifications had to be dug deeply.
Besides, the mortar squad and search squad also had to excavate the fortifications.
Dong Erli He was born in the mortar field, and now he only has grenade launchers, but this guy also digs out a simple mortar launch fortification very decently, euphemistically calling it "familiar with the business in advance."
Zhang Wei looked at the extremely busy mortar squad and was happy to see this situation.
"Search team and mortar team, dig the fortifications firmly, don't let the cannons collapse."
"Company commander, can the Japanese really come up so quickly, and can they still bombard us?"
the search squad leader asked.
Zhang Wei's judgment is that the Japanese simply cannot mobilize enough troops now, so it is impossible to launch an attack on the core station of the 4th Division in such a fast time.
However, they must develop the habit of being vigilant at all times.
For Future battles will be beneficial without any harm.
"I don't know either.
If you dig hard, if you don't dig well, your life and mine will be ruined."
The reinforcement of the fortifications was not a large amount of work.
In about half an hour, a trench with most of the body buried was formed.
The front and rear trenches formed a relatively strong defense, and the soldiers rested in the position.
The current situation is that as long as the Japanese army does not take the initiative to provoke them, Zhang Wei and the others will not attack.
The soldiers got a rare rest, but a few observation posts were still diligently observing the movements in the distance.
Zhang Wei sat in his temporary headquarters, and several platoon leaders gathered together.
Zhang Wei made the following arrangements for the possible battle.
"Listen up, if you encounter Japanese troops, don't fire yet.
Come over and follow my orders before firing.
The platoon leaders of each platoon should manage the new recruits.
In short, follow my orders before firing."
"Company commander, what's the situation with the Japs and us now?"
Qiu Wei asked Zhang Wei with curiosity.
It seemed that he wanted to know higher-level things.
Hao Zhong and others were also very interested.
Zhang Wei will not reveal too much.
After all, he is a time traveler, so he can only talk about it briefly.
"You all know that the 52nd Army repelled the Japanese army in the Taierzhuang area.
There are also troops from the Northwest Army in Taierzhuang.
The Northwest Army's troops and the 52nd Army are thinking of ways to join forces to fight the Japanese.
What we have to do now is Just hold back the little Japs from Zaozhuang and Yixian and prevent them from reinforcing Taierzhuang."
"Company Commander, if we fight like this now, can we hold back the Japs?"
The questioner was Xu Yi.
The troops have been resting and reorganizing these days.
How can we hold back the Japanese army if we are resting and recuperating?
"We have been resting for the past few days, but there is an army here.
Take the 4th Division we have been following as an example.
Other troops have been attacking these days.
Those people we just replaced, aren't they?
Go outside, besides, this army also has the 89th Division."

"As long as we hold him back, he won't dare to reinforce Taierzhuang, and we may win the battle."
Everyone understood the meaning and nodded.
"War is about winning through constant planning and scheming.
Those who lead the army plan, which means using strategies and brains.
Although we are the people at the bottom, we must learn more and use strategies and brains, for ourselves and for others.
Brothers, Paoze.”
Zhang Wei once again "educated" them, which was very useful to them, and they returned to their respective platoons with a serious mood.
Zhang Wei took a look at the surrounding positions.
His position was relatively safe, but he was still very likely to encounter a small group of Japanese troops.
Although this was the end of the battle line, no one could guarantee absolute safety, so he still had to step up his defense. ah.
Zhang Wei and the troops in front of them were able to contain the Japanese army through constant large and small battles.
Some battles were also fierce.
The Japanese army was insufficient in strength, and the 85th Army could not deploy defenses everywhere.
Zhang Wei's judgment was indeed correct.
The Japanese army has already approached the independent company's defensive position.
The position where the independent company is stationed is itself the last line of defense behind the 85th Army.
To be precise, the Japanese army's attack was that after one part was restrained by the Chinese army, the other part tried to Fight with other Chinese armies to relieve this containment.
