Digging holes on May 4th! Digging more holes!

In the afternoon, they arrived at the pre-selected ambush location in the northern latitude. This is the easternmost area of ​​Lingao County, close to Chengmai County.

Beiwei had previously personally walked the official road from Lingao to Qiongzhou and selected four or five suitable locations for an ambush. Finally, he chose the one closest to Lingao County - after all, it was better to be closer to his base.

, it is also convenient to call back if there is any unexpected incident in the county.

It would take them most of a day to get here. At the marching speed of the Ming army, it was almost a day's journey. At this distance, the vigilance of the Ming army should not be too high.

Contrary to the original assumptions about deep ravines, high valleys, and dangerous cliffs, the overall terrain of the ambush area selected by Northern Latitude is quite flat. There was a narrow valley before, but Northern Latitude recommended that the bomb be buried one or two kilometers away from the valley.

wide area outside.

"People must be highly vigilant in dangerous environments, but they will inevitably relax after just leaving this environment, and it will be harder to discover our arrangements. In addition, the Ming army should have organized their troops after passing through the narrow mountain road. At this time, they

The formation is more concentrated and the effect of the explosion is better. "

Bei Latitude is indeed an experienced veteran and is extremely careful in these details.

"For us, the wide and flat ground makes it easier for Humvees to take advantage of it. And the baggage vehicles of the Ming army's rear army can easily block the valley roads in the chaos, and at the same time hinder their escape. "

"Then we might as well lay a bomb at the entrance of the valley, blow up the mountain pass after the war breaks out, and completely block the enemy's retreat. How about making their dumplings!"

The young man Hu Kai suggested murderously, but Pang Yu and others shook their heads at the same time:

"No, it would be troublesome if we cut off all means of survival and force them to fight to the death. After all, we have few people and cannot fight in the annihilation battlefield. "

So the tone of this battle was set - they would fight an ambush and a rout. Afterwards, they would organize lunch and set up a temporary camp... All these tasks had been arranged long ago. At this time, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, one by one.

Engineering and technical personnel such as Pang Yu and Lin Hanlong followed Beiwei Tang Jian and others to investigate the site and consider the issue of ** burial.

According to the intelligence observed by Shu Zhong, the number of Ming Dynasty troops dispatched was about 3,500 to 4,000, marching in double rows. If the average distance between soldiers is 1 meter, then their entire team will be stretched enough to

Two kilometers long.

The time-travelers hope that the mines they laid can blow up as many Ming troops as possible at once, so the scope of the minefield must be as large as possible. After overall planning and combined with the number of minefields they have on hand, they finally determined

The burial range actually reaches about one thousand meters! The distance between each explosive point is relatively far. We strive to give full play to the maximum killing effect of directional mines.

If you want to play, play big! - There are more than a hundred explosion points, and each explosion point is equipped with at least ten to fifteen kilograms of potent **... Most of the results of the comrades in the chemistry team who have worked hard for half a year are here.

. Lin Hanlong shouted that he had never done such a large-scale demolition project in his life.

Several adjacent explosion points were connected with fuses, and the detonation method was a mixture of wireless remote-controlled electronic lighters and electric detonators. For this purpose, a batch of electric remote-controlled toys and several lamp holders in the cargo hold on the ship were dismantled, which was a bit wasteful.

, but there is no other way.

——Lighting the fuse in front of thousands of enemies? No one here is sure of this, and no one is willing to become a martyr just to save some electronic equipment.

Pang Yu roughly estimated the overall project volume and felt that it would probably take about two to three days. How much time they have to set up this ambush circle depends on how fast the Ming army is marching. But at this point, no one can not sure.

According to the Song Dynasty's military book "Wu Jing Zong Yao": "Every army marches on the road and rests for ten miles, dry food for thirty miles, and food and lodging for sixty miles." That day should be about thirty kilometers. But ask Lao Hua Tou et al. People. But they said that they used to march only twenty miles a day - only ten kilometers! This gap is huge. Is the Ming Dynasty army inferior to the Song Dynasty?

Tang Jian and others did not dare to be careless. The official road distance between Qiongzhou and Lingao was about 120 to 30 kilometers, which meant that the Ming army officers would take between four and twelve days to complete this journey. 300 % uncertainty, which really makes everyone feel quite troublesome.

Of course, no matter how fast the Ming army moves, there will always be enough time to set up an ambush circle and install landmines. But they dare not bury them too early. The climate of Hainan Island is humid, and it is the rainy season in spring. **He If the fuse is buried in the soil for a long time, it will inevitably get damp. Although there is moisture-proof treatment, it will be troublesome if you are unlucky and encounter rain.

So figuring out the whereabouts of these Ming troops has become a crucial task. There is no good way - continue to send people to keep a close eye on it. Shu Zhong is still lurking in Qiongzhou Prefecture to observe whether any follow-up troops will be sent out. . This scouting operation obviously requires experienced and professional scouts with strong combat effectiveness.

Beiwei accepted this task without hesitation. Of course, he did not act alone. After carefully explaining the key points of landmine laying to the technicians and giving a demonstration in person, he ordered eight armed personnel including Jie Xi, Wang Haiyang and him in one breath. They formed a reconnaissance team together, which even included two locals, including one of the sons of the old cunning Zhang Lushan.

Two 56 and a half and two imitation Remington shotguns were allocated to them, and each of them had a pistol - of course the locals did not have any, but each of them was issued a crossbow and a number of crossbow arrows. Not to mention, North Latitude also brought several pressure-fired mines and test grenades that engineer Xu Hui had just produced a few days ago. This posture did not look like they were going to reconnaissance, but more like they were going to block it.

"Isn't it just reconnaissance? If they are marching too fast, it is necessary to harass them and delay them. Besides, the other party must send forward scouts when marching. I would like to see the level of these Ming Dynasty seniors. "

Beiwei explained his motives in this way, his tone was still light, but the people next to him who heard this couldn't help but trembled, and secretly felt silent for those "predecessors of the Ming Dynasty".

Everyone allocated three mountain bikes for the reconnaissance team to carry materials, but in many cases these vehicles themselves may also require manual transportation. Of course, Pang Yu does not need to worry about this. After the reconnaissance team set off, he, Lin Hanlong and others immediately led all All the strong laborers were engaged in the intense work of digging holes.

Halfway through the work, Lin Hanlong suddenly raised his head and looked at this area, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"What's wrong? Has the plan changed?"

Pang Yu asked, but Lin Hanlong shook his head and pointed to the ground in front of him:

"You said that everything within a radius of one or two kilometers has been dug up. No matter how we cover it up afterwards, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make it exactly the same as before, right?"

Looking in front of him, Pang Yu nodded in agreement. Indeed, it is the spring season now, and the land is full of new flowers, grass and tree buds. After digging and filling, no matter how careful you are, it will definitely be different from the surrounding natural scene. When the other party comes,

Three or four thousand pairs of eyes are watching, so it's impossible for no one to notice.

"It's really a problem...but it's not something that can't be solved. "

"Oh? Any other good ideas?"

Next to him, Tang Jian also came over. It seemed that this problem was also bothering him. Pang Yu smiled and paused deliberately:

"Have you ever heard of a story? There was once a stingy boss who sold furniture. He wanted someone to help him paint new cabinets, but he took out an old cabinet and insisted on painting it exactly the same before he would pay. Many people have tried it and it has failed.

Unable to succeed, he was defrauded of his labor force, but later a young carpenter easily did it...guess how he did it?"

"Okay, okay, don't be pretentious and say what you have to say!"

Tang Jian was obviously very thoughtful and had no patience for humor, so Pang Yu had no choice but to tell the truth:

"Well, it's actually very simple - he painted both cabinets. Applying to the situation here: We can't make the ambush area the same as the surrounding natural environment, but we can make the surrounding environment the same as the ambush location.

almost!"

Lin Hanlong and Tang Jian looked at each other, this move was really unexpected, while Pang Yu waved his hand excitedly:

"So, brethren, let us hurry up—and dig holes! Dig more holes!"

…………

In the next three or four days, the engineering team worked together with all the strong laborers here. Not only did they complete the amount of earth needed to bury the mines ahead of schedule, they also moved along the official road, moving earth indiscriminately on the roadside and wreaking havoc.

The newly grown clump of small flowers is very beautiful? Dig it! The newly sprouted sapling is very energetic? Cut it down! The official road surface and both sides of the road are filled with caves like a rat plague, extending for twenty or thirty kilometers.

They were almost reaching Chengmai County, so they calmed down a bit.

Occasionally, pedestrians would be encountered on the road. Those who were too close would be detained, while those who were far away would be shot to scare them away. Some people were worried that after those people escaped, they might tell the Ming army that there were short-haired bandits here.

On the way, Pang Yu didn’t mind:

"It's okay, just report it. Even if there are no pedestrians to report it, they will take the initiative to remind them..." {Piaotian Literature thanks all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation
