After a period of urgent work, the preparation battalion further strengthened the original Japanese military fortifications and completed brand new fortifications.
There was a main line of defense above the embankment, and four heavy machine gun positions were arranged behind it.
All heavy machine guns were positioned according to the calculated distance.
The scale of the heavy machine gun was adjusted.
There was a height difference between the river embankment and the river surface.
Due to the position, the heavy machine gun had a certain shooting blind spot from the front of the river bank to the bottom of the slope facing the Japanese army. x Because of the distance, it is indeed difficult for heavy machine guns to hit the blind spots on the slopes from the river bank to the side facing the Japanese army.
Unless the heavy machine gun has a very high trajectory, it will not be able to hit it at all.
It is also difficult to hit the heavy machine gun with overshooting shots.
Therefore, in this section, all the fighting had to be done by the infantry.
Zhang Wei placed a large number of grenades in the main defense line of the river embankment.
Once the Japanese troops rushed to this section and attacked along the slope towards the river embankment, the soldiers would greet them with grenades.
Smash them down from above and blow them up with grenades.
Under the slope of the embankment on the rear side, Zhang Wei dug a large number of anti-gun holes and bunkers reinforced with sandbags to hide the troops, and spread these bunkers widely.
After the troops built the fortifications on the embankment, except for a few people Remaining to observe, the others all retreated to these bunkers.
The mortar platoon's position was set up ten meters behind the entire embankment.
Once the position was dug, all mortar platoon personnel and equipment were also concealed first.
The mortars at this position could cooperate with the heavy machine guns to kill the Japanese troops.
Of course, and Heavy machine guns also have blind spots in shooting angles.
After preparing for the defense, Zhang Wei increased the allocation of troops.
The second and third companies were responsible for defending the defense line on the embankment.
At the same time, the remaining platoon or so of the 106th Division was also deployed.
In order to take care of the friendly forces, Zhang Wei Wei's task for this platoon was not heavy.
He only set up a defensive line between the second and third companies to assist the second and third companies in their defense.
The First Company still acted as a reserve force, waiting in the rear fortifications.
Zhang Wei did this because this battle was to reinforce the 106th Division.
As long as the river embankment was not lost and the 106th Division was given time to regroup, it would be a victory.
This kind of stubborn defense would be a victory.
The second and third companies are now fully capable of fighting the Lord's battle.
It would be a waste to put the first company in the battle.
Zhang Wei's current command habit is to hold the most elite forces in his own hands with limited troops and based on specific battle conditions, and let the weaker troops carry out general battles.
During counterattacks and emergencies, he will The elite troops on hand are used for counterattack or counterattack.
Zhang Wei did this out of helplessness.
In the final analysis, a company is too valuable.
A cruel fact is: they are both soldiers, and the lives of new soldiers and veterans are indeed different, especially for such new soldiers who are extremely Lack of training and national With extremely poor physical fitness, the gap between recruits and veterans is very huge.
Although Zhang Wei's second company and third company have gone through several battles and are constantly tempering, they cannot compete with veterans like the first company who have fought for one or two years.
However, the objective gap is still very large.
If Zhang Wei's three companies had equal combat effectiveness or were all elites, he would naturally not do this.
There were hundreds of people in the battalion, except for the observation posts, who were all hiding in the fortifications on the back slope.
Zhang Wei was leaning on the bunker.
Most of the soldiers in the bunker with Zhang Wei were not from the preparation camp.
They had no helmets and wore gray-blue military uniforms.
They are remnants of the 106th Division.
Their highest officer is a sergeant attached to the platoon.
The current temporary platoon leader is sitting next to Zhang Wei.
"Brother, where are you from?"

After staying for a long time, Zhang Wei was quite bored.
Pai Fu glanced at Zhang Wei: "Sir, my hometown is in the northeast, Xingcheng, Liaoning."
"Don't be formal, you old Northeastern Army man from Western Liaoning."
Zhang Wei said the last few words with an obvious accent from southern Liaoning.
Although Zhang Wei wore it, before he wore it, he was a serious Northeastern.
"Yes, sir, you are from the Northeast."
When Pai Fuyi heard Zhang Wei's Northeastern accent, his tone suddenly became extremely excited.
Zhang Wei showed a "mysterious" smile and did not directly answer Pai Fu's question.
This arrangement was regarded as Zhang Wei's acquiescence, and the conversation started.
"We are indeed the old Northeast Army.
We followed the young marshal out of the border seven years ago, and then we fought with the army all the way.
Now we are here."
"Okay, you fought all the way here, the flesh on your body is still intact, and you didn't lose your life."
"Who says it's not true, sir, after fighting all the way, there are fewer and fewer Northeastern boys in the army.
Even Rehe can't even recruit a few soldiers.
Now these living heads include those from Shandong and Shaanxi.
"There are not many left in the Northeast."
At the end of the sentence, Pai Fu felt a little lonely.
The 106th Division was a unit of the old Northeastern Army.
It entered the Pass on September 18th.
Later, the Northeastern Army's factions collapsed and the troops were distributed and dismembered.
As a rootless and helpless unit, it was natural that it would become more and more difficult in the continuous fierce battles.
The weaker the fight, the more casualties the fight brings, and the veterans in the army will slowly be lost.
"Died in the national war is a worthy death, and those brothers are worthy of their hometown in Northeast China."
Zhang Wei said solemnly.
Pai Fu nodded.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Wei learned that the Northeastern Army veteran in front of him was called Li Changgui.
He was said to be a veteran, not very old, about 27 or 28 years old.
After fighting all the way, he also became a sergeant in the platoon attached. , his battalion suffered heavy casualties in the tug-of-war on the river bank.
Almost all the battalion and company platoon leaders were killed.
He was the oldest among these remnants, so when Zhang Wei appointed the temporary platoon leader of these remnants, the remnants all recommended him.
Zhang Wei picked up the gun next to Li Changgui and pulled the bolt.
The gun was in good condition, but it looked a bit aged, and the magazine was empty.
"Nice gun."
Li Changgui chuckled: "Liao 13, 79 rifle, I can use this easily, the ones made in Hanyang and the Czech Republic are not very comfortable."
"How much ammunition do you brothers still have?"
Zhang Wei asked "Sir, we don't have many bullets left.
We were hit too hard before.
Each of us can have three or four rows of bullets."
"They're all shot with point-head bullets from 79 rifles."
"Yes, they are all 79-caliber guns."
Li Changgui said with a naive smile.
"Guards, go to the First Company to find Company Commander Qiu, and ask the Special Agent Chief of the First Company to give each of these brothers fifty rounds of ammunition."
The preparation camp has replenished ammunition, and there is no shortage of rifle ammunition.
Since Zhang Wei is defending the position with others, he must treat them equally. .

"Yes."
The guard climbed out of the bunker and ran towards the bunker of First Company Commander Qiu Wei.
"Sir, thank you very much."
Li Changgui couldn't organize any more words, so he just kept thanking him.
In the past, they had had enough discrimination and supercilious looks, but now Zhang Wei, a central military officer who can speak Northeastern dialect, The officers had no pretensions and even allocated ammunition to them.
In Li Changgui's eyes, Zhang Wei's image became extremely tall.
"Brothers, did you hear that?
Chief Zhang gave us the ammunition, but he didn't show us how to behave.
If anyone dares not to fight with all his strength during the fight, don't blame me for being unreasonable with my gun." r:
