Chapter 300: Breaking through the line of defense
Daguan Zhongsa and a few staff officers, security personnel, saw the most tragic scene with their own eyes.
The brave and fearless more than 100 imperial troops were swallowed up by terrifying fires, air waves, and fireworks!
Some were torn apart, some were tossed, and some were reduced to several pieces.
The collapse of the entire army took less than a minute.
Because of the bombing, because of the charge and dodging the shells, many Japanese soldiers fell directly down the hillside and became miscellaneous pieces that I don't know what they looked like.
"Your Excellency Nakasa, let's surrender, surrender." A staff officer exclaimed.
Another staff officer hurriedly covered his eyes and squatted down, trembling all over, and the brook was gurgling in his trousers.
There were also two staff officers, drawing their sabers, singing military songs, and rushing in without hesitation, saying that they were brave and fearless, worthy of being imperial soldiers.
As soon as they rushed over, they let out an instinctive scream from the sound of explosions and smoke......
The sound was horrible.
Daseki Nakasa drew his saber and wanted to rush over to join the battle, but was deterred by the terrifying scene.
It turned out that the Chinese artillery was in a safe area under the foothills, and the Japanese troops were on the top of Bauhinia Mountain, outside the firing range, absolutely safe, and now, it has reached the edge of the shell landing point!
Daseki Nakasa kept retreating, watching the cannonballs gradually move towards the top of the mountain, forcing himself forward.
On the top of the mountain, there were not many Japanese troops left, and they were silent one by one.
I never dreamed of this meeting.
In despair, Nakazo held the saber upside down, aimed it at his belly, and wanted to commit suicide by disembowelment.
However, a cannonball flew and exploded in front of him, and a strong wave of air swept him away, rolled in the other direction, and finally rolled down.
In mid-air, his terrifying screams were heard.
With more than 3,000 shells, the Chinese army blew the north side of the Purple Mountain into ruins, and the infantry followed the barrage and completely occupied the Japanese position with very few troops, destroying the remnants of the enemy.
The devil guards halfway up the mountain in the other direction launched a suicidal charge and were quickly wiped out.
The Chinese troops, who rushed to the top of the mountain, cheered and wept with joy.
This particularly unfavorable feint terrain was actually won by our army.
He also eliminated so many devil soldiers and captured so many weapons and ammunition.
After the attack was successful, Han Feng immediately descended the mountain.
Relying on artillery doctrine to crush the enemy, although it was painful, it was actually nothing.
He has always wanted to use our own people, our own knowledge and experience, to defeat the enemy directly, and not rely on an inexplicable system, a mysterious figure like a naughty girl.
The troops quickly returned to the bottom of the mountain, quickly assembled, and the wounded were sent to Jinling City for ambulance.
Later in this battle, the Chinese army suffered very few casualties.
The victory inspired many people, and tens of thousands of people who participated in digging trenches asked to join the army.
Unable to refuse, Han Feng selected more than 500 people to supplement the losses of this infantry regiment.
At present, the total strength of this regiment is more than 1,500 people.
Immediately go east.
Advancing more than ten miles eastward, intelligence showed that the three armies were blocked by the enemy.
The fastest progress was made in the middle road, where Du Fenglie's troops advanced dozens of miles and launched attacks against the Japanese in several locations, focusing on expelling a large number of enemies who had massacred Chinese civilians and burned villages and towns.
In at least three towns, they engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese army.
The troops on the right, Li Tecong's troops, were intercepted by the Japanese and were fighting hard.
On the northern route, progress is the slowest.
Ye Zheng's troops advanced to the northeast, joined some troops from the Peace Gate, and arrived at Shogunate Mountain, where they found the Japanese troops and engaged in a fierce battle.
Judging from the summary of the situation in various quarters, the Japanese army has at least one division and 20,000 men to block our army separately.
There were not many Han Feng troops, and the weapons and ammunition were similar to those of the Japanese army, but the ammunition was much less. In this case, whether it can last is a big question.
Fortunately, the officers and men of the Chinese army were extremely brave in battle, and in order to take revenge, they fought hard one by one.
In Tantou Village, more than 500 Du Fenglie's troops fought against the Japanese army.
More than 100 Japanese troops held the village, using walled walls and trenches, using machine gun strafing and grenadier mortar precision bombardment, inflicting heavy losses on the Chinese army.
More than 500 people, more than half of whom have been killed or wounded, have not yet broken through the enemy's defensive line.
The Japanese suffered casualties, but only more than 20 people.
After Han Feng arrived, he immediately ordered his troops to be interspersed and divided.
Two infantry platoons, rushing forward on both sides of the village.
The Japanese army controlled the villages in this area, and the villages were very close to each other, the farthest one thousand meters, the nearest more than 300 meters, and coordinated with each other to form a crossfire, killing most of the Chinese troops.
After being frustrated, Han Feng really understood the enemy's situation.
He immediately dispatched cavalry to give orders to the Chinese troops at close range, stop the attack, stand by in place, rest, and dig trenches.
Far away, they used the radio to contact and ordered the three corps to stop all operations.
I observed the battlefield here, and also asked the infantry battalion commander and some officers and soldiers here.
The attack of our army, both tactically and technically, turned out to be unsuccessful.
Progress has been made in some places in filling holes with human lives, but the cost is very high.
The overall quality of the Japanese army is much higher than that of our army, the enemy relies on the defensive positions and fortifications, and our army is exposed to the charge, and in the case of no superiority in firepower, it is to be sent to death!
However, Han Feng's order was resisted.
Many officers and soldiers were reluctant to carry it out, and they blushed when they looked at the enemy.
The relatives of many officers and soldiers were brutally killed by devils, and the comrades-in-arms of some old soldiers of the old national army were killed by the enemy, especially after surrendering, and they were tortured and killed.
Han Feng praised everyone's fighting spirit, and at the same time pointed out that the tactics were backward.
After successive victories in battles, our officers and men were paralyzed and careless and complacent.
Including Han Feng himself, who rashly commanded just now, let the strength of the two platoons suffer great losses.
Take a closer look and immediately mobilize your forces and weapons.
More than twenty mortars, plus seven mortars from this infantry battalion, lined up together and bombarded the enemy village.
Two hundred shells were fired up in one go.
As soon as the shelling began, an infantry charge was sent.
The artillery shells blew up the Japanese side on their backs, the wall collapsed, the smoke filled the air, and the dead and wounded were everywhere.
Some of the Japanese soldiers fled directly.
Of the more than 100 Japanese troops who focused on the defense in the west, most of them suffered casualties.
The Chinese army conquered the village at a very small cost.
Han Feng commanded the artillery and immediately turned around to suppress and bombard the enemy in the villages on both sides.
The two villages were also bombed to pieces, the devils were either killed or injured, and the defense line collapsed!
Immediately, Han Feng's infantry quickly broke through from the middle of the three villages, interspersed into the depths of the enemy.
An infantry battalion was called upon, divided into partisan units of platoons, to infiltrate the enemy's rear, to engage in guerrilla warfare, to destroy behind enemy lines.
The remaining two infantry battalions, plus the original troops, were divided into three roads, one way, guarding the village to the south and defending against the enemy, and two roads, all the way to the north, sweeping the defense line of the enemy's nearby villages and towns, and all the way, copying the enemy from the east!
The Qing Empire under Wanzi reminds you: Ask for a collection after reading (), and then it is more convenient to look at it.
