Chapter 372: After the Defeat

All kinds of artillery fire of the Japanese army have all entered the combat state!

A battalion of the Hanfeng assault force quickly approached a range of 1,000 meters from the enemy's position.

Japanese machine guns fired, especially heavy machine guns, which had a long range and great power.

Dozens of machine guns strafed, so that the Chinese assault battalion lost a third, and had to crawl down all of them.

Chinese artillery immediately fired at enemy machine-gun positions.

A large number of enemy infantry and mountain artillery, battle defense artillery, etc., were captured, and now they are beginning to be used.

In particular, the infantry guns, aimed at the enemy's machine gun positions, bombarded fiercely.

Part of the Japanese machine-gun positions were destroyed, soldiers were killed.

The Japanese artillery also immediately attacked the Hanfeng artillery.

The Japanese cannon, with a long range, is about 10,000 meters, and is powerful, and the howitzer, with a slightly closer range, is more powerful.

In terms of artillery caliber and number, the Japanese army had already achieved an overwhelming superiority.

The artillery battle between the two sides lasted for half an hour, and the artillery of the Hanfeng army suffered heavy casualties, and a small number of artillery fire was destroyed by the Japanese army.

Japanese artillery fire, under the strong barricades of strong fortifications, suffered very little losses.

Self-propelled guns 155 grenades, which carried out a locked attack on the enemy, destroyed part of the artillery fire and Japanese personnel.

Enemy cannons also shelled Chinese self-propelled guns, damaging the tracks of the guns.

During the artillery battle, Han Feng had to give the order to stop the battle and retreat.

The artillery retreated, and the remnants of the forward assault battalion retreated.

A battalion of more than 400 men was only about 100 men when it withdrew, and the losses were serious.

The infantry had not yet approached the enemy, and such losses could be described as heavy.

The battle situation far exceeded Han Feng's estimate, and he originally thought that in the battle, when the enemy's artillery reached the surface position, our army's Juyong tank fire and other artillery fire would destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.

Artillery is the god of land warfare, and after being suppressed by the enemy, although our army can fight and rush, it is also possible to win, but the price is too great.

After retreating, Ye Zheng's corps was notified, and the operation was also stopped and the original position was kept. Net starter

He summoned the officers, reported the military situation, said that he took full responsibility for the defeat in the battle, and bowed and apologized to all the officers.

For half an hour, he observed the entire enemy's artillery position, and deeply felt that the enemy's artillery fire was strong, and now, it was completely the strength of a heavy artillery brigade.

At present, although the Hanfeng tank unit is advanced and strong, it cannot fight hard with the enemy, and the number is too small.

Under the cluster bombardment of the enemy's mountain artillery, infantry artillery and howitzers, cannons, the survival rate of the tanks was too low, but fortunately this time it was a tentative attack, and the tanks were not sent up.

Otherwise, there will be heavy losses.

An officer's suggestion to use heavy long-range artillery fire in Jinling City was denied by Han Feng.

Those things, which belong to the strategic level of artillery fire, are absolutely super strong against the enemy's fleet on the Yangtze River route, and it is not worth it against the artillery fire of ground field troops.

As a result of the discussion, several proposals were proposed.

The first way, retreat, simply, the whole army retreats, part of the personnel returns to Jinling City, the main force advances eastward, leaving the enemy here in the barren mountains and mountains to play by himself.

Our army is here, and there is no longer a confrontation force, and not a single soldier is left.

Let the enemy's huge forces be nullified. In this way, the enemy will have to make new deployments.

Second, at night, our army marched north from the river bank, secretly made a large number of rafts and small boats, pretended to be the enemy's reinforced fleet, mixed in, and carried out a strong attack on the enemy from the river bank, and made a surprise attack at night, so as to ensure that it could achieve major results. Net starter

The third is the withdrawal of troops, and when the enemy has relaxed, they suddenly and secretly return to surprise the enemy.

Han Feng examined it for a long time and carefully scrutinized the three plans.

This time in the battle at the coal port, the purpose was to destroy more enemies, so let the enemy reinforcements, but unexpectedly, the enemy's reinforcements were too strong.

In particular, the quantity and quality of artillery fire far exceeded everyone's estimates.

After estimating various circumstances, Han Feng decided to combine the second and third types.

The main forces, go east at once!

A large number of refugees and reserve troops have returned to Jinling City to strengthen their self-protection.

The commander of the mixed brigade, with the main force of the troops, immediately went east.

The tracks of those tanks and self-propelled guns were also quickly repaired and all set off.

Han Feng mobilized his own guard company as a force for future night raids.

After it was determined, the mixed brigade took the main force of heavy equipment and personnel and fully retreated.

Mighty, fanfare, tell the little devils, we don't play anymore!

The enemy can be seen clearly from the position, with binoculars, with artillery mirrors.

The guard company of more than 150 people of the Hanfeng army did not leave for the time being.

A large number of people from the Ye Zheng Corps of the left flank of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, as well as the teams of the reserves, also set off one after another, moved from various villages, made detours, avoided the threat area of the Japanese cannons, and advanced towards Jinling City.

The Japanese army was stunned.

The front-line troops and artillery observation posts reported one after another, and officers at all levels quickly reported to their superiors layer by layer, and telephone calls were made to Matsuhito Osa, Momotsuki Nakasa, and Major General Toda.

Matsuhito Osa, who was in the coal port, was overjoyed.

As soon as they came, they forced back the Chinese army, and now, having repelled the enemy, forcing the entire enemy to retreat, they could regain the torpedo battalion and the Takahashi position without a fight, and achieved a complete victory!

Momotsuki Nakasana jumped for joy.

He has always been worried that the riverbank position will be strongly attacked by the Chinese army, at that time, no matter how much artillery fire you have, you can't stop it, right?

Major General Toda was the most proud and the most unexpected.

It was only at twelve o'clock last night that he quietly entered here by boat from the Yangtze River Lane and became the supreme commander here.

Victory as soon as it comes?

It's off to a good start!

He was in charge of the artillery, and as soon as midnight arrived, he personally urged the officers and men to strengthen the artillery positions, set up all kinds of solid obstacles, and unloaded all kinds of prefabricated cement-reinforced parts from the ships, transported and installed them in front of the artillery fire, forming a strong battery.

He understood that the Chinese army stopped attacking solely because of the power of Japanese artillery fire.

Therefore, the artillery officers, including the infantry officers Matsuhito Osa, Momotsuki Nakasa, all congratulated him.

Rear Admiral Toda was a little regretful, and immediately dispatched personnel, and wrote a letter as quickly as possible, "Go, send it to the Shina Army, and ask them to pass it on to their top officer!" ”

The Japanese army had motorcycles, cavalry, mixed together, three motorcycles, more than a dozen cavalrymen, hoisting white flags on motorcycles, indicating that they were contact personnel, non-combat troops, coming to the side of the Chinese army.

On the side of the Chinese army, there was a battalion of the remaining rear guard troops, and the broken ones, plus the Hanfeng Guard Company, were about 600 people.

"Commissioner, quick, the enemy is coming, the enemy, motorcycles and cavalry!"

Sentinel Alert.

When Han Feng found out, he immediately ordered to prepare for war.

After a while, the enemy's motorcycle convoy was thousands of kilometers away, and Han Feng observed it and gave the order to wait.

The Japanese motorcycles quickly arrived in front of the village, where there were the flags of the Chinese army and the troops stationed there.
