Chapter 36: Ebb Tide (16,000 monthly votes plus update)

Wang Zhong originally planned to leave behind a group of volunteers who would stay in the bombproof shelters at the position, withstand the enemy's firepower, and delay the attacking infantry.

The main force would then retreat to the secondary position and wait—yes, under Wang Zhong's command in Orachi, layer upon layer of defensive positions were dug, and extensive earthworks were carried out.

There was no choice, with only so many troops, constructing more fortifications was essential to face the superior enemy.

If he were to write a booklet on defensive warfare after the battle, he would definitely include this, "If you do not have enough troops, then prepare more defensive works."

Of course, the fortifications built by Wang Zhong had flaws.

Firstly, the black soil of Kazarlia was too soft; without sufficient concrete, it was almost impossible to build strong underground fortifications.
