Chapter 362: Advancing to the Pagoda Bridge

A day later, the Pagoda Bridge.

The Japanese army was in full array, the barrels of the guns were swarthy to this side, and the pillboxes were like huge turtle shells on the ground level, buckled to the ground.

The Pagoda Bridge was located several kilometers west of the Shogunate Mountain, and even at that time, Jinling Castle was located to the north of the castle.

From here to the west, there is a series of military fortresses, coal ports, torpedo battalions, Longjiang bridges, four positions not far from each other, a long snake formation, sealing the north of Jinling City, from a defensive point of view, is the northern key of Jinling.

To the north, they can block the landing enemy on the riverbank, and to the south, they can blockade Jinling.

Here, there is a regiment of Ye Zheng's regiment, more than 3,000 people.

Originally, it was a battalion that monitored the enemy here, but later, it quickly developed into a regular regiment with two auxiliary regiments. ァ新ヤ~~1~

The supplementary regiments, to put it bluntly, are all militias, they are all refugees, and now, all combined, there are also 10,000 people.

A few days ago, they were still crying, crying, and the common people who were bullied, abused, and chased by the little devils are now on the bar with the enemy.

The offensive here is also very strategic, with a focus on the pagoda bridge, so that the rest of the place, is surveillance.

Their fundamental task was to intercept the enemy and ensure the safety of the flank of the main force of Ye Zheng's corps.

Ye Zheng's army of 30,000 people besieged the enemy's Shogunate Mountain and Straw Shoe Gorge, that was the point.

It's a pity that Ye Zheng's corps has not made any progress, the enemy's troop quality and weapons and equipment have an advantage, and Ye Zheng's corps suffered heavy casualties and did not succeed until the arrival of the Hanfeng corps.

Han Feng came over in person, walked all the way from the south to the pagoda bridge, walked all the way from the north, walked along the river bank, and pressed the tanks and self-propelled guns to the north, over there, there was a mighty tank army, and everyone was well-equipped.

Their mission was to cut off the enemy's riverbank connections so that the enemy could not receive reinforcements.

Our army's heavy artillery units have blocked the Yangtze River, but they are mainly dealing with large warships, and we do not have many artillery shells, so we cannot fight indiscriminately, and we can only let small enemy ships and motorboats go unchecked.

The enemy is cunning, using that to spread the risk, constantly transporting supplies and troops.

Han Feng's troops, when they arrived at the Pagoda Bridge, only contacted the officers of the troops, inquired about the situation, and reconnoitred the position of the Pagoda Bridge.

At present, there are more than 1,500 Japanese troops, an infantry brigade and an artillery squadron.

At a distance of more than five hundred meters, the Chinese troops established a blockade line from the south and east.

Here, to the west, there is a small belt of mountains, relatively high, but only a few dozen meters of dirt mountains.

Or rather, it's just a dirt slope.

The devils turned this place into a barracks, a strong fortress.

Han Feng must pull out this stronghold.

Only by occupying this place and setting up a defensive line can our army guarantee the absolute safety of the city.

Moreover, we need to destroy the enemy, capture their weapons.

According to the reconnaissance of the troops here, to the west, there is also an infantry brigade.

There is only one infantry brigade in the three positions, and there is one brigade in one position here, which is of course a key area.

The officers and soldiers here also told Han Feng that the investigators found a large number of corpses from here, some of which were pushed into the ditch in a concentrated manner, and some were beheaded and scourged, discarded casually, and gnawed by wild dogs.

According to various circumstances, it can be confirmed that the enemy also carried out a large number of massacres here, the main targets of which were Chinese prisoners of war.

Han Feng was furious.

He let the troops in to rest, left this side himself, took the guard company, headed northeast, and made a detour.

The tank corps led by Ye Zheng had already reached the northern section of the Pagoda Bridge and was engaged in battle with the enemy.

Han Feng didn't care, mainly looking at those slaughterhouses.

Sure enough, in many places, a large number of corpses were found, it was winter, the corpses were well preserved, many were discarded in trenches, some were in wells, some were dressed in clothes, at first glance they were national officers and soldiers, and some were civilians.

There was also a large ditch, which was also littered with more than 200 corpses, all of whom had been stabbed to death with bayonets, prisoners of war.

Han Feng was angry.

All the officers and men were also filled with righteous indignation.

"the little devil to the end!"

"Kill all the little devils, tooth for tooth, revenge, revenge!"

Han Feng ordered that all the bodies that could be found be salvaged and gathered.

Within two hours, they had gathered more than 800 corpses.

Piling up the corpses together, the cold guard company, plus a number of other troops, a total of more than a thousand people, held a meeting, a memorial service, bowed to the bodies of the victims, paid silent tribute, and swore revenge.

The bodies were then placed together for burial and marked.

The vanguard of Ye Zheng's legion is fighting the enemy.

Han Feng rushed here.

Now, as the main officer, the mission of Hanfengdi is mainly command.

To the north of the Pagoda Bridge, near the river bank, several Japanese gunboats were clinging to the river bank and firing at this side.

The Japanese army also had several hundred people in small boats and landed on the river bank.

The Japanese also had positions of troops in the west, and some small positions at the landing ground in the north.

The Japanese are intercepting, shooting.

Han Feng saw it and ordered a retreat.

In front of Ye Zheng's troops, there were more than 2,000 people, and they quickly retreated.

In this way, the Japanese landing force increased to more than 1,000 people, and an infantry brigade quickly built fortifications and sent a part of the troops to attack the Chinese army.

Han Feng was also drunk, and the enemy actually attacked!

The Chinese army temporarily retreated.

The Japanese army was overjoyed and thought they had won.

There was actually a squadron of Japanese troops, desperately pursuing!

At the Pagoda Bridge, there was also a squad of soldiers who attacked and pursued the Chinese army.

What a joke!

Han Feng gave the order, and the troops continued to retreat.

Because, he's going to have a big handful.

Lure the enemy deeper!

Because he feared that the troops would attack fiercely, and the enemy on the river bank and who had not yet landed would flee.

You see, the ship is full of arms and soldiers, and it is for the Chinese army to send heads and supplies, and it can't be let go.

The Japanese army thought that the Chinese army was cowardly and incompetent, and was really beaten away.

"Hehe, the people of China have such a big tank, but they ran away!"

"This is a nation that can't be helped!"

"Yes, yes, they are so bad, East Asia can only rise by relying on us!"

The order to withdraw the troops made many officers and men of the Chinese army very unhappy, and everyone talked about it.

Han Feng doesn't care about those imaginary ones.

Retreated more than a thousand meters, to the east of the pagoda bridge, to monitor the enemy.

The enemy pursued for a while, and when he gained nothing, he stopped his advance and protected the landing force from all ashore.

Seeing the enemy's steamers and motorboats gone, Han Feng ordered: "Attack!" ”

The tank unit was the vanguard, with dozens of cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry, and suddenly attacked.

Like a sharp knife, they pierced into the Japanese position.

The Japanese army was shocked and immediately blocked it in an all-round way.

Japanese artillery fire, machine guns, together strafing, bombing, desperately fighting.

The captain of the Japanese army, a certain Shaozuo, is now confused: "Why are the people of China so stupid?" Couldn't they have attacked halfway when we landed just now? Isn't it a muzzle hit now? ”
