At the foot of Longgang Mountain, two kilometers east of Ganzhou City, bullets rained down, and the sound of killing was endless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two reconnaissance teams that collided head-on were divided between winners and losers after just over two minutes of fighting...... Armed with five Flower machine guns and two Czech light machine guns, the reconnaissance platoon of the 2nd Regiment of the Instructor quickly gained the upper hand!

Under the noses of the enemy defending in the city, the reconnaissance platoon of the 2nd Regiment took advantage of its firepower superiority to inflict heavy damage on the reconnaissance team of one platoon of the enemy, killing and wounding 32 enemy troops, and only three enemy soldiers escaped back to the city, but they also paid a heavy price of six killed and eight wounded.

Jiang Zhongpei, the reconnaissance platoon commander of the 2nd Regiment who led the team, had never suffered such a loss, and he seized the opportunity to suffer nearly half of the casualties, which made him feel guilty and furious, and urgently ordered several brothers to quickly bring the wounded back to the rear position, and led nine brothers to continue to rush towards the enemy who was strewn with corpses.

Under the gaze of more than 1,000 enemy officers and soldiers at the head of the city, Jiang Zhongpei collected all the weapons and ammunition on the dead and wounded enemies, and each brother carried more than two rifles, shell guns and canvas cartridge belts.

Yang Ruxuan and the Yunnan officers and soldiers who were watching the battle at the head of the city were finally enraged, knowing that the opponent who was showing off his might was out of range, he still didn't care about shooting, and thousands of rifles and more than ten light and heavy machine guns roared in unison, which was no less dense than a large-scale offensive and defensive battle.

Annoyed and angry, Yang Chisheng not only did not dissuade him, but urgently ordered five 75 artillery pieces arranged on the east city wall to shell the arrogant enemy at the foot of Longgang Mountain.

The whistling shells blew up the trees at the foot of Longgang Mountain, and the earth and rocks were all over the sky, so frightened that Jiang Zhongpei shouted and turned to flee, and nine brothers with weapons and ammunition all over their bodies followed, fleeing in embarrassment among the flying branches and leaves and the falling rubble and broken trees.

Finally rushing through the billowing smoke and escaping to the rear of the mountain, the shells that flew one after another were already blowing the bodies of the six brothers to pieces.

The fierce gunfire and the continuous sound of artillery bombardment made Zhao Jingting, commander of the Second Regiment, and Gao Cheng, deputy commander of the second regiment in the rear of the position, make an erroneous judgment, thinking that the enemy's main force had already gone out of the city to meet the battle, and would launch an attack after being covered by intensive shooting and artillery fire, so they issued an order for each battalion to retreat to 1.5 kilometers to hold the defensive line, and the machine gun battalion to quickly occupy the commanding heights of Longgang and Ma'anshan.

The hastily constructed blocking position of the Second Regiment was located between the foot of the hill south of Longgang and the wooded Ma'anshan Mountain, which was several tens of meters high, and was exactly at the edge of the artillery range of the defending enemy in the city, and the mortar position set up 500 meters behind the side of the position was just blocked by the towering Longgang Mountain, and the enemy in the city never discovered this killer weapon that Zhao Jingting had deliberately hidden.

The battalions of the 2nd Regiment had not yet retreated to the rear defense line, and the gunfire that had lasted for more than five minutes at the head of the city gradually stopped, and Zhao Jingting and his officers and men quickly retreated to the blocking line and waited for them, and the eight heavy machine guns on the commanding heights in the north and south all entered a state of imminent battle, but the enemy did not launch an attack after the artillery bombardment.

News soon came from the observation point on Ma'anshan: there was no movement within three kilometers of the front of the battle line, and there were no ships on the surface of the Gan River!

"The enemy didn't come out to meet him?"

Gao Cheng, the deputy regiment commander who had been a soldier since he was sixteen years old, had a fever on his face.

Zhao Jingting, who misjudged the judgment, was also full of shame, the previous feint to lure the enemy did not succeed, but was frightened by the enemy's guns and artillery and retreated sharply for 1.5 kilometers, and finally put on a posture and prepared for a fierce battle, but the enemy did not see a single shadow.

Just when Zhao Jingting and Gao Cheng were uncertain, the second battalion, which occupied the dock on the south bank and blocked the entire section of the river, sent a fast horse to report: "The two regiments of enemy troops at the Yangmei ferry in the north have just landed on the east bank, and for some reason they have withdrawn to the west bank by ferry and dozens of ferries!" ”

Zhao Jingting was stunned, and immediately understood after thinking about it, and immediately ordered the brothers of the mortar company to carry mortars and 20 boxes of shells, move two kilometers north, and shell Yangmei Ferry.

In less than half an hour, more than 100 officers and men of the artillery company crossed Longgang Mountain with 12 mortars and 20 boxes of shells, lined up on the edge of the open ground at the bottom of the mountain, and under the cover of more than 10 light machine guns, they aimed at the Yangmei Ferry 3 kilometers to the north and carried out continuous shelling.

In less than half a minute, 12 mortars completed three salvos, and 36 shells fell in the middle of the dense enemy troops who had just withdrawn to the crossing on the west bank, blowing up the enemy's flesh and blood, fleeing in all directions.

Stunned, the enemy threw down more than 200 corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere, fled the ferry in a chaotic manner, and rushed to Ganzhou City.

Yang Chisheng, who received the urgent report, ran to the top of the city tower on the east gate to take a closer look, and saw that the officers and soldiers under his command fled back to the city in a panic, and nearly half of them had no weapons in their hands, so angry that they pulled out their pistols and fired three shots into the sky, but they could not stop the panicked and chaotic officers and soldiers from pouring into the city.

"Division, the top priority is to assemble the troops as soon as possible, stop the chaos, quickly return to Yangmei Ferry to establish defenses, and increase the strength of the north of the city to prevent the communist army from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack."

Yang Chisheng's chief of staff, Chen Xianwu, hurriedly spoke.

Yang Chisheng, who was full of anger, immediately ordered: "The fortifications of the north gate are strong, with two companies directly under it and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the security regiment guarding it, and there are five 37 battle defense guns on the head of the city, which is enough to cope with the attack of the 3,000 communist army, and there is no need to increase the number of troops for the time being!" ”

"Pass my order: After the first regiment is assembled, immediately return to Yangmeidu to start defense, and the second regiment guards the position at the east gate; The 3rd Regiment and the Supplementary Regiment had to be ready for battle within an hour, attack from the south gate, and launch an attack on the communist army in the direction of Longgang. ”

"Lao Tzu wants to see what other conspiracies and tricks the communist army can perform, and how many troops will fight with me!"

Yang Chisheng and Chen Xianwu's countermeasures were a prudent move; under the condition that the enemy's situation was unknown and the weather was bad, they mobilized the forces of the two regiments to launch an attack on the opponent at the foot of Longgang Mountain, and no matter what the victory or defeat was, they could infer the opponent's troop strength and combat intentions from the battle situation and the opponent's reaction, so as to make an accurate judgment on the battlefield situation.

It's just that the opponent that Yang Chisheng and Chen Xianwu encountered this time was Zheng Yi, who never played cards according to common sense, and the two regiments that were attacked by artillery fire killed and wounded more than 500 people, finally gathered up and reassembled outside the east gate, and the commander of the garrison company who stayed at Yangmei Ferry came on horseback to report:

"The enemy's troops of about one regiment slowly drove to the opposite bank, set up machine guns on three dirt slopes about 800 meters away from the ferry on the east bank, and forced thousands of captured officers and men of the Fourth Regiment and the Jingwei Regiment of Ganxian County to work in the rain, digging trenches more than 500 meters long between several dirt slopes, and also carrying wood to build fortifications above the trenches!"

After Yang Chisheng was stunned, he was so angry by his opponent's rogue style of playing like kraft candy.

Chen Xianwu carefully calculated, and was secretly frightened.

The opponent built trenches and fortifications 800 meters behind the ferry on the east bank, about 4.5 kilometers from the city of Ganzhou, which was just outside the range of artillery fire in the city.

If you gather your forces to cross the river and attack, you can't fight without artillery support, even if you finally repel the opponent and occupy the entire east bank area, it will be a heavy victory with heavy casualties outweighs the losses, and the opponent can also retreat to the east of Ganxian to defend the city, if no reinforcements arrive, there is no ability to defeat the opponent and recover Ganxian.

Yang Chisheng and Chen Xianwu, who were helpless, discussed for a moment, and immediately summoned the four regiment leaders under their command to give advice.

After repeated arguments and weighing, in the end, Yang Chisheng decided to mobilize the forces of the two regiments to attack the opponent who occupied Longgang Mountain and cut off the east-west land passage, and did his best to defeat the enemy army on the southern road, in order to seek the final strategy of breaking the situation.
