At the same time as the air force attacked and harassed the march of the Japanese army, the Zhenbei Army National Training Center in Chuncheng only received five days of high-intensity training, which is equivalent to two months of normal recruit training, and the recruits began to go to the front line as a regiment.

More than 1,700 Red Police officers were integrated into the five regiments and served as 80 percent of the officers.

The train wagons at the South Railway Station are transporting a group of silent and resilient recruits to Datun Station, ten kilometers away, where they will build their first line of defense.

The first regiment and the engineer regiment reorganized from the original bandit coalition army were the first to rush to Changtun Station and began to establish a highland position in the only high ground outside Changtun, and then the second and third regiments composed of new recruits also arrived at Changtun within half an hour, and spread out to the left and right with Changtun and Fengshan as the center, and began to dig trenches and lay blocking positions.

The three regiments, together with the engineer units and transport troops, totaled about 6,000 men to build a defensive line about six kilometers long around the closed mountain, and the trenches were covered with sacks to form a defensive position with deep echelons, with an average of one machine gun position every 50 meters, and two more trenches behind the first trench, and a large number of foxholes, dark trenches, and communication trenches were dug between each trench, and behind the third trench were the 60-mm mortar positions of each regiment.

"Damn, it feels like going back to digging coal in Glacier County. Chen Yu complained as he spread the dirt in front of the trench with a shovel.

Chen Ergou beside him was silent, pursed his lips and shoveled out the hard soil, Chen Ergou, who had been promoted to corporal, was specially issued an eight-fold telescope because of his shooting talent during training, and he was envious of Chen Yu.

"I said Ergou, you are a corporal, but you can be promoted faster than my brother. Chen Yu pestled the shovel and sighed, looked at the position of the second regiment next door, and said with a smile: "The group of recruits next door are still privates, but unfortunately I don't know how much I can survive this war." "

“......"

"Eh, who is the recruit talking about?" Zhao Yu, the deputy company commander of the third regiment, the third battalion and the first company, was observing the construction of the position, and when he heard someone in the next regiment making a mockery, he raised his eyebrows.

"Yo! it's bad! it's a second lieutenant officer!" Chen Yu saw the rank of Zhao Yu on his shoulders, muttered to Chen Ergou, and then turned his head and said with a hippie smile: "Sir, I said those privates!"

"Who didn't come from the privates, and the ones you fought on your shoulders weren't privates?" Zhao Yu saw that he was instigated, and his anger went down a lot.

"Yes, yes, I'm a private, a recruit. Chen Yu laughed.

Chen Ergou looked at his eldest brother speechlessly, how could he look like a soil dog.

"What are you arguing about? Hurry up and dig a trench! That company's position has not been built well at night, be careful that there is no meat to eat!!" a passing colonel-level officer yelled at several people.

The threat of eating meat and the roar of the commander made all three of them dumbfounded, and they immediately went about their own troops.

"These little bunnies. The major officer pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders to the colonel beside him, and said, "Chief of the General Staff, this is the case for this recruit and veteran. "

"It's good to be competitive. Chen Zhen did not have any expression on his unrestrained face, and accompanied by the battalion commander, he inspected the construction of the Fengshan Heights.

More than 100 meters high Fengshan is one of the few highlands within a radius of dozens of kilometers, the south and west vision is good, and it is just on the main railway line, two kilometers away from the rear is Changtun Railway Station, the geographical location is very good.

Xun Le, who came with Chen Zhen to inspect the position, looked at such a good high ground and pouted: "Tut-tut, how good it would be if the mountain could be built into an artillery position!"

Artillery is like this, the higher you stand, the farther you fight, not to mention the endless radius of 20 kilometers around here.

Chen Zhen nodded: "Our defensive purpose this time is to 'sharpen the knife', and it is naturally impossible for the battle line to move forward too much, and the closed mountain with the back of the railway station is the best position choice." "

His front-line headquarters had been set up at the foot of the mountain behind the closed mountain, and there was a mountain blocking it in front, so that the artillery of the Japanese army could not fall on the head of the headquarters.

"Your artillery position has been built?" Chen Zhen glanced at Xun Le, who was hanging.

"Ah, it's Panjiatun, three kilometers behind Changtun Station. Xun Le stretched out his finger and pointed to the rear: "That position is exactly twelve kilometers away from Fanjiatun Station, within the limit range of the Krupp 75 guns." "

The Independent Artillery Regiment has two 75 artillery battalions, each equipped with 12 Krupp 75mm field guns, and a 105 artillery battalion, equipped with 12 K18 plus howitzers, about 1,300 people, and single-round artillery firepower, which is already a configuration at the level of a Japanese army division.

However, due to the lack of talents, only the regimental artillery company of the first regiment of the five light infantry regiments in Xue Lin's hands is equipped with four Krupp 75-mm field guns, and the artillery units of the other four new regiments are only 60-mm mortars and Type 92 infantry guns that are easy to operate for the time being.

There is no way, the current Krupp 75 gun in Xue Lin's hand is too heavy, and it is not only necessary to have skilled artillery, but also to be towed by trucks, plus ammunition transportation troops, taking the first regiment as an example, the number of personnel is already 2,000 people, far exceeding the original plan of 1,500 light infantry regiments.

Xun Le suddenly remembered something, his eyes slanted, and he changed into a lewd 0 smile: "By the way, Chen Zhen, I heard that you stuffed a little girl into the commander-in-chief?"

"What do you call me stuffed?" Chen Zhen snorted indifferently: "It was given to the commander-in-chief by the old lady of the Zhao family." "

"Hey, I know, I know. Xun Le put on an expression that I understood.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the construction of the front line trench positions was completed, and the soldiers could finally eat a hot meal after a busy afternoon.

However, the reconnaissance cavalry soon reported that the Japanese army finally arrived at Fanjiatun, six kilometers away, at nightfall, under the attack of the air force, and was encamping.

The big war is on the verge of breaking out!
