Chapter 303: On the Purple Mountain

Behind the Hanfeng troops, clear the problems left in front of them, and specifically pull out the enemy's strong stronghold.

The Japanese troops on the Purple Mountain are a big problem.

Du Fenglie's troops of the Central Route Army once launched a tentative attack, but they failed three times, but they sacrificed more than 100 officers and soldiers in vain, wounded 200 people, and the entire loss was very large.

Three companies, almost an infantry battalion!

In this way, Du Fenglie, the commander of the Central Route Army, had to leave his personnel behind for defense and made a detour to advance.

This military intelligence report came to Han Feng, and he came over in person.

Advance covertly and scout in the foothills.

The topography of the Purple Mountain is very unique, and the surrounding small mountain ranges surround the Jinling City, the mountains and rivers are victorious, the tiger is standing on the dragon plate, and the weather is thousands.

It was the gateway to Jinling and a huge obstacle for the Hanfeng Legion to move eastward.

No, although the middle route army was already something, the Japanese troops on the mountain did not give up, and bombarded the mountain with artillery fire.

The shells whistled and flew into the crowd of the Crusade troops, causing some casualties.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not have large artillery fire, otherwise, the Eastern Expeditionary Army would have suffered a big loss.

In this way, the Japanese army still caused some casualties to the Eastern Expeditionary Army by small artillery fire of mortars, machine guns, rapid-fire guns and other things, and more importantly, they choked the nodes of the Chinese army's east-west contact, as if choking your neck, making you too uncomfortable.

If the Eastern Expeditionary Army is not in a good position to fight in the east, then the Japanese troops on the Purple Mountain can raid down the mountain to intercept and raid, and the threat and tactical lethality of that strategic situation are very great.

In a word, the Purple Mountain stronghold must be pulled out!

The enemy is more than a thousand people, condescending, not easy to fight.

Compared with the terrain and terrain, the Japanese army had too much advantage.

After the reconnaissance, Han Feng told all the situation of the enemy!

"The enemy is on this side, on the top of Purple Mountain, there are two infantry guns, one of which is a direct-fire gun, a curved gun, 4 37-mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, 6 25-mm machine guns, 2 75 field guns, 12 mortars, and about 25 grenadiers."

Han Feng gave a clear explanation of the enemy's weapons and equipment on the mountain, especially the artillery fire, and drew it on the ground with branches.

The situation is very clear, it is clear to the number of shells of various types of the enemy, it is all said.

The range and power of each type of artillery fire are also discussed.

All the officers present at the meeting were dumbfounded.

"How do you know, Commissioner?"

"Yes, the enemy is on the top of the hill and on the mountainside, there are many trees and bushes and artemisia grass to cover me, and I can't see a single one at all!"

"Commissioner, are our scouts so good?"

Han Feng can't explain the truth, I'm afraid that if it does, they won't believe it.

"Yes, our scouts have indeed paid great sacrifices, so we must pay attention to these military intelligence that we have exchanged for blood."

The quality of the officers was not high, especially some new officers, and many questions were raised.

Han Feng answered them one by one.

In order to further clarify the situation, Han Feng guided everyone, disguised, along the foothills, to point out the location of the enemy's artillery fire, artillery fire is the biggest threat.

After the field trip, a simple map was drawn on paper to plot the elevation and topographical conditions.

In this way, all officers at and above the platoon level of the army have a clear understanding of the enemy's artillery fire distribution map and the area within the strike range, and also know how to avoid the enemy's concentrated fire and casualties during the attack.

Through perspective, Han Feng also marked the enemy's heavy and light machine gun positions on the map.

The main concentration area of the enemy's forces.

Use more than a thousand infantry to besiege the enemy!

Yes, that's it!

The rest of the troops, temporarily resting, some, have already made a detour.

On the top of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, the Japanese army was lazily watching.

Daguan Zhongzuo observed the Chinese army under the mountain with a telescope, without saying a word, and his expression was not too grim.

"Nakasa, are we still bombing the Chinese army?" Artillery Major Sajigang asked.

"It's not necessary, on the contrary, we want to save shells." ”

Ji Gang was a little puzzled.

Now, the Japanese troops on the Purple Mountain include artillery, baggage troops, engineers, and infantry, with the infantry Zhongzuo Daguan as the commander-in-chief, and he is somewhat unbalanced in his heart.

"I don't think it's necessary, right? Now that the Chinese army is moving eastward, it is a good opportunity for our troops to attack, and once the enemy leaves, our shells will only be able to bombard the interior. However, our artillery fire is mainly small, and the range is not enough! It's a shame. ”

Yoshioka pretended to be an understatement, but in fact he was ridiculing Daguan Zhongzuo for not understanding the use of artillery, and there were serious mistakes in strategy and tactics.

Daguan Zhongzuo has a very smart brain, and he can hear it at once.

"Our task is not to intercept and kill the enemy's troops, although it is very pleasant, but our army does not have many shells and bullets, and we are deployed here in a long drive and suddenly encounter the enemy's counterattack, we are arranged here, it is really hasty, all, the lack of ammunition is a big problem, our main task is to nail it here, resolutely block the communication lines of the Chinese army, this is the most lethal. As soon as the time is ripe, our army can suddenly descend the mountain and attack the enemy, or, sending a small detachment down the mountain to disrupt, it will also give the Chinese army a headache. ”

Yoshioka Shaozo disagreed: "Can't we let the planes fly the shells? A few planes flying one trip is enough. ”

Daguan Zhongzuo's triangular eyes widened, and he finally found an opportunity to bury it, "Yaga, isn't our plane loss enough?" Don't you know that Cointreau has a secret weapon, and our planes have been destroyed a lot? Or is it deliberately pretending not to know? ”

Yoshigang Shaozo was suddenly angry.

Ever since the Chinese army suffered repeated defeats in guerrilla warfare and counteroffensive by the Chinese army in Jinling City, every officer of the Japanese army has felt uncomfortable.

"Without assistance, our artillery shells are enough to kill many soldiers."

Oseki Nakasa laughed deeply.

It doesn't make much sense to argue with this artillery boy.

He enjoyed being challenged, like being in the mountains, besieged by the Chinese army, in fact, he had a psychological advantage.

"The Chinese army will attack the mountain soon, at most half an hour, so it is better for you to mobilize your soldiers and prepare for battle!"

Yoshioka Shaozo was giving a lecture on the artillery position just now, rested for a while, and counted the results of the artillery bombardment of the Chinese army, because Daguan Zhongzuo forbade his artillery to attack again, so he ran over to ask.

"So sure? What about the evidence? ”

Daguan Zhongzuo smiled, "Just now, the commander of the Chinese army has already conducted repeated reconnaissance around our mountainous area, do you need to talk about the next thing?" ”

Yoshioka Shaozo sneered, "I don't know what you're talking about, and, I dare to conclude, it's impossible!" Didn't the people dare to attack the mountain, because they didn't have artillery, so they feinted to attack our artillery positions with some mortars and grenadiers in the infantry units? Joke! ”

Daguan Nakasa stood up, "Shut up and obey my orders, otherwise, I will send you to a military court!" ”
