That night, Qin Yan gathered all the military officers above platoon level and held a military meeting.
Qin Yan sat in the main seat and looked around at the platoon leaders. He said,""Students, our opponent this time is very powerful. It's the Teaching Corps. However, there's no need to worry. After all, the Teaching Corps was defeated by us. They have nothing to be afraid of.”
"If we win this battle, then our cadets from these two batches will be the pride of the Central Military Academy. In the future, we will be respected by the younger generation, and they will be proud of us.”
"Tell me, do you have the confidence to win this battle?" Qin Yan asked loudly.”
"Yes." All the students said in unison.
After all, the glory of defeating the Teaching Corps was too tempting. Just like what Qin Yan had said, as long as they defeated the Teaching Corps, all the students would be proud of them in the future.
Qin Yan nodded in satisfaction." Very good. I believe we can do it. Since time is tight, we won't talk much. I'll arrange the combat mission first."”
Qin Yan stood up and walked to the map hanging behind him. He pointed at the map with a wooden stick and said,""According to the rules of the drill, the place we have to defend is Nine Dragon Mountain. This is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be said that one man can hold the pass and ten thousand people can't open it. Therefore, if we want to take down the teaching team, we can't leave too many troops behind.”
"So, my plan is like this. I'll let First Company, Third Company, and Pao Company stay behind at Nine Dragon Mountain with me and be responsible for resisting the head-on attacks of the Teaching Corps and depleting their morale.”
"The Second Company and the Fourth Company will be led by Liu Yuan. They will set off at three o'clock in the morning tonight with three days 'worth of rations and water.”
"The 5th Company and the 6th Company also brought three days 'worth of rations and hid in the ravines 20 kilometers away from Nine Dragon Mountain.”
"At five o'clock in the morning on the 16th, I will lead the First Company, Second Company, and Cannon Company to attack the Teaching Corps first. You will attack from three directions on time and pincer the Teaching Corps together.”
"I heard you clearly." All the students said in unison.
Qin Yan nodded in satisfaction. He looked around and asked,""Alright, does anyone have anything to add?”
"Report." A student stood up.
"Speak," said Qin Yan.
" Battalion Commander, isn't it too risky for you to only stay behind with two companies?" the student said." Why don't you leave Company Four behind and let Company Commander Liu lead a company to Shaoshan?"”
"Yeah!" Liu Yuan agreed. Battalion Commander, why don't you leave the Fourth Company behind? I'll just take Second Company."
Qin Yan shook his head and said confidently,""No need. Two companies are enough. It's useless to keep more. This is the defense blueprint I drew after looking at the terrain of Nine Dragon Mountain.”
Qin Yan walked to the table, picked up the defense blueprint, and handed it to Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo's eyes widened after taking a look. This attracted everyone's attention. They all wanted to know what was drawn on the blueprint that made Zhou Weiguo's eyes widen.
Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath after reading it, then exhaled gently and handed the blueprint to Liu Yuan.
After Liu Yuan took it, he also took a look. Just like Zhou Weiguo, his eyes widened.
After that, all the officers above the company rank had seen it. Qin Yan smiled and asked,""How is it? What do you think after reading it?"
"Battalion Commander, your defensive blueprints are indeed very complete. If it's completed, it wouldn't be a problem for you to hold off the teaching corps for a day with two companies and a cannon company."”
"But this project is too big. We only have one day and one night. With the strength of two companies, it's impossible to complete such a fortification!”
On this blueprint, according to Qin Yan's plan, the trenches could not be used in a single line, but in two lines.
If they used a single line, once a single point was broken through, the entire line would collapse. All the trenches had to be used in two lines.
Not only did they have to use two lines, but they also had to deepen and widen it as a trench to trap the enemy. In the curved trenches, they had to set up anti-cannon holes in the trenches.
Foxholes were set up behind the trenches, and machine gun fire must be placed on the rear wings at both ends of the position to form crossfire.
Moreover, they had to build fortifications.
At the top of the mountain, a circular fortification was to be built.
As for the artillery position, it was set up on the reverse slope to avoid being destroyed by the artillery fire of the teaching corps.
Moreover, in order to protect the mortar positions, they had set up a few more mortar positions to make it easier to move.
As for the four Krupp Mountain Cannons, they were used by Qin Yan as secret weapons.
A student said. "That's right! Battalion Commander, after all, this is just a drill. There's no need to take it so seriously!”
"Bang!"
Qin Yan slammed his palm on the table and said sternly,""Bullsh * t, a drill is a real battle. You guys weren't serious during the drill. If you were on the battlefield, wouldn't you be playing with the lives of the soldiers?”
"The reason I designed this kind of position is to let our brothers survive a little more. If we were to fight, we would just do it half-heartedly. The enemy's artillery fire would directly destroy your position, and half of the people would be wiped out.”
Hearing Qin Yan's words, everyone lowered their heads, especially that student. His face was even more ashamed.
"Do you think the war is far away from us?" Qin Yan continued coldly. The Japanese are slowly encroaching on North China in the northeast. The war is not far away, but you guys are still like this.”
"If he doesn't want to do it, I'll make him stay in the kitchen or get lost.”
When everyone saw Qin Yan's anger, they immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to make another sound.
"If we want to win this battle, the defense of Nine Dragon Mountain is the most important thing. Once it is broken through, we will lose everything. You want to lose face, but I can't afford to lose face.”
Everyone was silent.
"Alright, since everyone wants to do it, let's do it beautifully.”
"Battalion Commander, let's talk about how to construct the defensive position first!" Liu Yuan reminded. With the strength of two companies, even with the addition of the cannon company, it would definitely not be completed in a day and night.”
Qin Yan nodded." I've thought about it. The four companies will set off at 3 am tomorrow. It's 7 pm now, and there are still eight hours before 3 am. I've decided to mobilize everyone. As long as we dig some trenches, the three companies can complete the rest.”
Fang Shengli said," This is a good idea. Although the four companies are a little tired, they can rest after reaching the destination. This way, they can complete it in the morning the day after tomorrow."”
"I agree." Zhou Weiguo also said.”
Sun Xinpu and the rest also agreed.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Qin Yan said,""Alright, everyone go back immediately and set up fortifications. As for the rations and water for the four companies, I'll get the cooks to prepare them immediately.”
Everyone stood up and left.
