Chapter 442: Defensive work

"Lieutenant Colonel Woods, I hope you understand a few points. Please remember our website: xinЫqi.com. The opponent’s military is strong, far above us, and there may be air support. The commander also He is definitely not a waiting person. Rather, he is an experienced commander who has accepted modern military theory in the United States and has participated in actual warfare in several countries." Lin Rui explained to him.
"We have no intention of getting involved with your troops, but we must temporarily take over command, because only in this way will we defeat the enemy and survive." Jiang An whispered, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I know you don't understand this. But you just have to think, if you give it all to your command, will your 600 people survive and how much can you live?"
Woods was silent, and finally nodded, "Okay, I agree with your suggestion. I will stay in the command post and give you every order. They will listen to me."
"Very good, then act immediately." Lin Rui waved.
"But I don't understand. We have built basic fortifications before, so why continue to build?" Woods frowned.
Jiang An nodded and said, "I have already constructed the fortifications you have built. The defense is not strong enough, and it lacks the level of defense. Once it is breached, it will cause the entire line to collapse. The new defense layout I have shown for you on the picture. It is drawn. Although time is a little tight, it can at least further strengthen the original defense system."
Woods nodded, took the map and turned and walked out. After entrusting this new defensive deployment to his men, there was immediate opposition, "Our manpower is limited. If we follow this new defensive deployment, we may not be able to complete it even if it takes ten more days. With this Ten days’ work, I’m afraid the opposition armed forces have already come up."
"Yeah, we are already short of manpower, so we can do such intensive labor. We didn't wait for the enemy to come, so we got ourselves down." Someone immediately nodded, "This defense plan is not feasible."
"I have a way that may help you complete it in a few days." Lin Rui stood up and said, "The war is about to start. You can mobilize the people of Nalaner and let them help build the fortifications."
"This is a way. I will go back and arrest people at random. I will catch hundreds of civilians at random, and then find people to work day and night. Try to finish it in a few days." A black officer immediately agreed, "This method is good."
"This is a faint move." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "You will completely lose heart if you do this."
"But, sir, isn't this what you said?" the black officer said strangely.
"But, I didn't force you to force them to do it." Lin Rui sighed, "Can't you use your head? There is about to be a war here. What is the most nervous thing about the citizens now?"
"Of course they are going to flee." The black officer said in amazement, "Those peacekeepers set up a refugee shelter in a town outside the city. But we have sealed off everywhere, and they can't escape if they want to."
"You will issue an order immediately, but all citizens who volunteer to help excavate and construct fortifications will be issued with passes immediately after the fortifications are completed. Those who get the pass will be able to leave Naraner with the pass. You can even send them to nearby refugees. Take refuge in a shelter." Lin Rui smiled, "In this way, the citizens will probably be rushing to help you build fortifications. Do you still use you to bother to arrest people and cause complaints?"
"This... indeed." The black officer suddenly realized, but he frowned again, "But what about the women and children?"
"It's also simple. You can only restrict the departure of young and middle-aged men. On the one hand, organize people to transport these women and children to refugee shelters first. On the one hand, the safety of their families will allow young and middle-aged men to work with peace of mind. And who doesn't Would you like to reunite with your wife and children after finishing your work earlier? This is more effective than arranging ten overseers with whips. And you have earned a reputation for caring for the citizens." Lin Rui shrugged and said, "He Le Not for?"
Lieutenant Colonel Woods slapped the table, "Immediately follow Mr. Lin's method!"
Lin Rui's method was very effective. On the one hand, the atmosphere of panic in the city was greatly reduced, and most of the women and children were sent out of the city. Delivered to refugee shelters stationed by peacekeeping forces. On the one hand, a large number of citizens spontaneously came to help build fortifications, bringing their own dry food, carrying picks and shovels. The team is mighty, and it's hard work to get up to work.
Even a certain defense zone dug a trench that was several hundred meters long and full of the chest within an hour. Relying on the large number of people, the efficiency of this shoulder-carrying hand is almost faster than that of an excavator. The excavated soil was put in a bag and piled into a high mound, and a wire fence was pulled behind it. Take these Mavor soldiers all. Among them, these citizens of Narendr were going crazy.
Jiangan, Jason and others took turns to check and command in every defense zone. Work was not stopped until it fully met their requirements. It was a miracle that the progress of the fortifications, which was originally estimated to take more than a dozen days to complete, was completed in just two days. In the past few days, no one in Marvo's army, including Lieutenant Colonel Woods, dared to undermine these mercenaries.
Even Lieutenant Colonel Woods mentioned Lin Rui and couldn't help being called a commander. Lin Rui was not idle for a moment, taking turns in each defense zone. He knew that this battle would be a cruel test, and if he prepared for an extra minute, he might be able to stand under the pressure of the enemy for an hour or even one day.
Lin Rui stood on a high place, facing a relatively flat river beach, frowning, "How is the defense arrangement there?"
"Three trenches, two minefields, plus barbed wire for defense against infantry. Minefields are also deployed behind the anti-infantry barbed hook. In these directions, there are crossfires with no dead ends. Unless it is an amphibious tank raid. , Or suffered air strikes, it is difficult to break through with infantry alone." Jason said slowly.
"Honestly, Jason, how sure do you think we can keep here?" Lin Rui said calmly.
"Whoever it is, if it is a mob of Marvo opposition. I give them two months, it can only be a loss of soldiers. But if they are armed with secret society, the consequences are difficult to tell." Jason sighed. "Too many variables."
"Jason, you Americans often spend time with Chinese like me, and you have become subtle." Lin Rui said indifferently. "We all know that if they have air support, we will keep Nalaner's hope. Even less than 30%. All these fortifications are for the infantry. If they used helicopters and landed directly into the city to start street fighting. Our black buddies would be defeated if they could not withstand a few attacks."
