Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, Swear Not to Go to Meishan

Chapter 376 The Yutian Defense Line Is a Big Pit

Lan Fang, as the commander of the Yutian defense line, was automatically promoted to major general, commanding the Royal Second Division, Guangxi Wolf Army Division and Sichuan Army Division to guard Yutian.

He was worried that too many new recruits would cause the Royal Second Division's combat effectiveness to decline seriously. Therefore, he did not dare to split up Lu Yiming's First Brigade and the Second Brigade, which was full of new recruits. He only transferred some grassroots officers and veterans from the First Brigade to serve as commanders of the Second Brigade.

In this way, although the combat effectiveness of the First Brigade declined a little, it did not decline much overall. The Second Brigade added some grassroots officers and veterans with rich combat experience, and the old led the new, which could quickly form some combat effectiveness.

There is no suitable candidate for the commander of the Second Brigade, and Lu Yiming will temporarily serve as the commander. This also means that Lu Yiming, the brigade commander, actually exercises the authority of the commander of the Royal Second Division.

If Lu Yiming performs well in the next Yutian defense battle, it is legitimate to be promoted to the commander of the Royal Second Division.

Lu Yiming put the Second Brigade, which barely formed combat effectiveness, into the defense line, and the First Brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness was left as a reserve.

Lu Yiming had his own ideas, and Lan Fang, the commander of the three armies, did not intervene. He let him do what he wanted, which was not without the intention of cultivating and testing him.

When the new army was first established, not only was there a serious shortage of qualified high, middle and low-level officers, but also generals who could take charge of their own affairs were even more scarce. It was not easy to find a good seedling, so naturally he had to be cultivated well. This was also the emperor's intention.

The so-called Yutian defense line was actually trenches dug on the flat ground on both sides of the official road. The trenches were dug according to the drawings provided by the emperor. All trenches were connected and connected in all directions. There were also pits for hiding soldiers and command posts built with wooden stakes. They were also covered with sandbags filled with sand to resist artillery bombardment.

In front of the trenches, there was a half-chest-high sandbag wall. The bottom of the sandbag wall was full of sharpened bamboo blades. Further ahead was a pit covered with a layer of mud on the surface. The pit was full of sharpened bamboo blades. People and horses fell into it and their bodies were guaranteed to be full of blood holes.
