Subsequently, on the periphery, they attacked continuously, pulled out several small strongholds of devils, successively eliminated more than 100 devils, and captured all the enemy's weapons and ammunition.

It was after a large-scale attack that the enemy resisted stubbornly and made no progress.

The Du Feng Lie Infantry Regiment suffered about a quarter of the casualties.

The Japanese army they eliminated was about 300 people.

At present, of course, Du Fenglie's troops have suffered much greater losses, with more than 700 casualties.

However, they are attacking, charging many times, and the weapons and ammunition are poor, and it is not easy to fight like this.

The point is that their battles, which attracted the enemy's forces, confronted the security of the warehouse area.

Du Fenglie was already very mature in command, and on the one hand, he sent small detachments to roam around, looking for armed citizens among the people, looking for lost weapons and ammunition of the national army, looking for the surviving civilians who had escaped the catastrophe, and also set up an early warning force around the troops to ensure the safety of the flanks.

In a few hours, more than 300 soldiers of the Chinese regular army who had fled and fled to the civilian population, and more than 1,500 citizens of all kinds were gathered to increase their strength.

Therefore, after a long and hard battle, although the casualties of the Du Fenglie Infantry Regiment were not small, now, the number of people has increased instead of decreasing.

More than 4,000 people!

Han Feng was overjoyed and praised Du Fenglie.

Let the troops pause the offensive and rest for a while.

Han Feng inspected the troops.

In addition, he distributed the cooked rice dumplings carried by his troops to everyone.

There are a lot of rice balls carried, basically, half a pound of rice balls, one person carries more than eight, and one rice ball is just enough for four thousand people.

One rice dumpling for each soldier and civilian.

The troops were distributed in a formation in the dark.

Everyone who received the rice dumplings was overjoyed and rushed to eat them.

After eating, I didn't eat enough!

"Anything else? Is there anything else? ”

Han Feng and his officers and soldiers told everyone that the warehouse area was steaming rice all the time, supporting rice balls, and vegetable dumplings, which had to be delivered in a steady stream.

"First, we have limited manpower and can't bring more, and second, after long-term hunger, we can't eat more at a time, please understand."

In the face of such an explanation, everyone said nothing.

With meals, it is inevitable to recover physical strength and generate combat effectiveness.

The task of attacking the prisoner camp on the south side of Hailan Bank was completed by Han Feng.

Du Fenglie and some officers suggested that they should bet on the treasure at one time, press it all up, and make a most violent charge, at night, no matter how strong the devil's firepower is, it will not be able to prevent it, the vision will be affected, and it will not be clear to see, and our army will definitely break into it after paying some casualties.

"It's a pity that we have too few shells, and they are all gone. There are a lot of enemy shells and machine guns! Commander Du Fenglie said indignantly, "As long as we can have a few mortars and bombard the enemy during the attack, we can succeed!" ”

Some officers also echoed the voice, holding that under the present circumstances, the charge at the company level is basically a tactic of adding fuel to the lamp, which will only increase casualties and will not succeed, and if the battalion-level scale is used, the target will be too large, and the enemy will be bombarded with concentrated firepower.

"Commissioner, shall we give up here? Without artillery fire, it is not possible to gnaw hard bones, this is to fill with human lives. ”

Han Feng didn't tell them anything, patting his chest, "Everyone, you have worked hard, I will attack, and I promise to use one of my infantry battalions to kill it!" As long as everyone is ready, when the hole is torn, everyone will take advantage of the situation. ”

Du Fenglie and the others were dumbfounded: "Really? Don't you take any chances, commissioner, you're our backbone! You have three long and two short, we can't redeem a hundred deaths! ”

Several battalion commanders and several company commanders immediately put away their complaints and cared about Han Feng.

Some people said that they were willing to attack again and attack immediately, as long as Han Feng did not take risks.

Han Feng was a little moved.

Now, the morale of the Chinese army is really strong!

Compared with the morale at the beginning of the defense of Jinling City, it is a world of difference.

The point is that the generals of the army are not the same.

The collapse of the main force of the Jinling National Army mainly started with the officers, and after the headquarters meeting, some army commanders and division commanders broke away from the troops without authorization and slipped away on their own, leaving a large number of officers and soldiers, inexplicable, without a leader!

Corruption, incompetence is the problem of generals, high-ranking officers, officers, not Chinese soldiers.

Make some arrangements, Han Feng is about to lead the team to attack.

"What? How can you be sure, commissioner, defeat the enemy? ”

"Commissioner, although the devil is brutal and inhumane, his military literacy is not low, you must not be sloppy, and you must not underestimate the enemy!"

"Commissioner, you are still too willful, listen to our advice, we better wait, wait until we are completely recuperate, find more weapons and ammunition, citizens and routs, and then attack."

"Yes, commissioner, I think that at dawn, about four or five o'clock, the enemy is most tired, and at that time, if we suddenly attack, we will definitely win!"

Han Feng smiled, "Thank you for your concern and wisdom, and thank you for starving here and persisting in fighting for so long." Everyone consumed the enemy's soldiers, energy, and physical strength, and laid the foundation for our victory in the general battle! I have a way to win! ”

Han Feng asked everyone to return to their own troops, master the troops, further mobilize and educate, and conduct military training.

A few minutes later, Han Feng arrived at Target Area One.

This area is a residential house, which was transformed into a maple forest prisoner of war camp by the devils, and there are devils stationed around, and the devils' defense line is the residential houses and trees attached to two small streets.

The devils also dug some trenches and individual pits, machine gun positions, artillery positions, and even carried some surrounding house building materials to the defensive line positions to strengthen the fortifications.

In addition, the devils blew up all the houses in front of the defense line, creating a separation zone of about 30 meters, and the houses collapsed to the ground, and even the remnants of the walls were blasted again, and all of them were razed to the ground.

Speaking of which, it is regrettable, because the explosives used by the devils here were not brought by themselves, but the materials that were tightly stored in the warehouse in Jinling City!

On the isolation belt of more than 30 meters, a thick layer of corpses was pounced, horizontal and vertical, it was the corpse of the Chinese army!

The smell of blood was strong, disgusting.

The smell of some corpses is even more suffocating.

Fortunately, it was winter, the corpses had not yet fermented, and the stench was only the initial incontinence after the death of the soldiers, otherwise, the whole city would not have survived!

Han Feng looked at the corpse, and his heart felt sour.

The soldiers around him were also silent, and some of them wept secretly.

Dozens of meters away from the isolation zone, Du Fenglie and several battalion commanders and officers who insisted on protecting and dissuading Han Feng were all observing.

Some battalion commanders and officers have infinite admiration for the political character and courageous spirit of this commissioner, but they have serious distrust of his military qualities.

Du Fenglie was very curious about how to win.

He had exhausted his ingenuity, and he was helpless in the face of a heavily defended enemy with strong firepower.
