Leonid's fire reconnaissance operation is still going on, and Prince Mikhail is also watching patiently. He doesn't understand what this nephew wants to do at all, because someone's tactics are not in line with the rules and traditions at all. , is simply neither fish nor fowl.

If someone else did this, Duke Mikhail would immediately start scolding him, but it was his own nephew who made the "disgraceful" right now, so he continued to watch patiently, but the flame in his heart It's whirring.

The soldiers on the field were not influenced by Duke Mikhail. They acted in an orderly manner according to Leonid's orders, faithfully implementing the combat intentions of their superiors.

The soldiers of this company moved forward slowly, and stopped suddenly when they were about three or four hundred meters away from the target they needed to capture, which was the first enemy position on the outskirts of Buftea.

Following the order of the company commander, the nearly two hundred soldiers stopped together and began to lie down and crawl. Then some of them held guns for vigilance, while the other half untied the shovel heads from their backs and began to dig the ground vigorously.

For a moment, not only the Wallachians were stunned, but even Duke Mikhail was stunned. He didn't understand what the hell these soldiers were doing. They were still far away from the enemy's position. At this moment, they stopped What kind of tricks are you doing, you go straight forward and attack!

Besides, if you stop, just stop, what are you doing digging? Ready to dig a hole and bury yourself?

"Colonel, what are you doing?"

From the tone of Prince Mikhail, it can be heard that he is very dissatisfied with the status quo. What he wants to see is an impassioned charge scene, not a waste of time like swallowing water.

"Prepare for the next stage of action!" Leonid's answer was sonorous and forceful. He said that he ignored Duke Mikhail's gloomy face that could rain, and spoke to Vishniak excitedly. Said: "Sure enough, the enemy really didn't respond, they didn't know what we wanted to do!"

These words made Prince Mikhail so angry! Because he, like the Wallachians, didn't know what the hell Leonid was doing, how could he fight like this, he just played the piano indiscriminately!

But Leonid didn't care what Prince Mikhail thought at all. He was a very focused person, and now he was completely immersed in his own world. He just wanted to test Li Xiao's tactics and see if it was true. works.

At this time, the soldiers on the front line were still digging the soil. After the first batch of digging soldiers dug their shelters, they hid in without hesitation and began to replace the previous guards. Immediately also transferred to the earth-digging industry.

After a while, only busy groundhogs could be seen at the front of the position. This situation continued until the excavation was completed. When all the soldiers had taken cover, Leonid cheered. He knew that this step was right, and the enemy did not respond.

He immediately ordered: "Continue!"

Prince Mikhail didn't know what to cheer about at all. He wanted to vomit, but Leonid's new order attracted his attention. Following the order, the second battalion of the first battalion The first company set off, still in a loose formation, still advancing slowly, looking no different from the previous friends.

After knowing that this company merged with the previous company, the situation changed. After completing the civil engineering work, they stayed in place and began to cooperate with their friends to expand the site. They began to expand and lengthen the individual foxholes , transformed into a line of trenches, and then the last troops of the first battalion also set off, and then the three companies were busy on the battlefield together. Except for the company in charge of security, the other two companies were rushing to build position.

This scene stunned Duke Mikhail, because he somewhat understood Leonid's thoughts. The reason why it was difficult to attack the fortifications was because the enemy had strong fortifications, and if he wanted to destroy the enemy, he had to destroy the fortifications.

But it's not easy, you have to have a strong firepower advantage,

Use heavy artillery to pull out the enemy's strongholds one by one, or you have a strong force advantage, and you can use a steady stream of troops to break through the enemy's fire blockade.

The problem is that not all people and situations can satisfy these two conditions. For example, Leonid, although he has advantages in military strength and firepower, this advantage is not so great that it is not enough to completely eradicate the enemy's stronghold , or pile up heads to kill enemies.

In this way, the only way to attack the city is to weaken the enemy's advantage, that is, to expose the troops to the enemy's defensive firepower as little as possible, and reduce the loss during the attack.

Spread out the formation, and dig trenches immediately after advancing to the enemy's firepower killing boundary, so as not to give the enemy a chance to exert its firepower advantage. In this way, the losses of the infantry during the attack were greatly reduced. In the past, the 578 regiment had to pay a certain amount of casualties when attacking the same distance. It was absolutely impossible to leap such a long distance so easily.

Thinking of this, Prince Mikhail couldn't help but change his opinion of Leonid a bit, thinking that this nephew still had some ideas. It's just that he still doesn't think Leonid can conquer Buftea, because although he deployed a battalion to the forefront of the enemy's firepower unscathed, this is just the beginning, okay? Next, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to just sit and watch and do nothing, and as the distance gets closer, the accuracy of the enemy's rifles and cannons also increases linearly, and the next thing is the meat grinder!

So Prince Mikhail didn't say anything, just watched the show in silence, he believed that Leonid would be slapped in the face soon.

It's just that the situation that surprised Duke Mikhail appeared again, because the first battalion that had been deployed to the front did not immediately start a new offensive. Except for some soldiers who remained vigilant, the rest of the soldiers were still waving their shovels frantically. And the pickaxe crazy drops to repair fortifications. That posture seemed to be preparing for a long-term garrison.

In addition, a new situation has also appeared in the forward starting position. The second battalion of the 748 regiment has also begun to prepare for battle, but the behavior of this battalion is very strange. Start digging forward from the starting position.

This scene directly stunned Duke Mikhail, because he couldn't figure out what the second battalion was doing, how far away from the enemy? Was it necessary to start digging trenches this far?

He finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Leonid, what are you doing? Why don't you launch an offensive immediately, what's the use of digging ditches?"
