1074. Mantou Mountain, the tactical fulcrum behind enemy lines

The Japanese army was anxious to take back Mantou Mountain, which showed that this position was very important to them, and besides, the baggage materials on Ganzhou Street were bombed and burned, and they were already very angry.

Now Mantou Mountain has been occupied by the Chinese army again, which is as uncomfortable as being inserted with a knife in the heart of the rear, so the Japanese army gathered several infantry squadrons and came to attack.

If it was during the day, Luo Zhicheng's third battalion might have been a little afraid of the Japanese army's aircraft artillery, but now at night, it is much better, there is no threat of aircraft artillery, with the combat effectiveness of the three battalions, it is difficult for several Japanese infantry squadrons to fight down.

It was December 12, the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), two years ago tonight, a moment before the fall of Nanjing, and tomorrow, that is, December 13, is the death day of the Nanjing Massacre.

The Military Commission also wanted to launch a general offensive of the winter offensive in time for the death of Nanjing tomorrow, and before that, a large number of troop transfers and guerrilla attacks were carried out, and it was found that the 33rd and 34th divisions of the Japanese army did not dare to attack, and it also emboldened the actions of the Chinese army.

Just like the bold action of the 152nd Regiment of the 51st Division, the three battalions and one reinforced battalion were able to single-handedly enter the enemy-occupied area at the junction of the three counties and make trouble in the heavenly palace.

The flowering effect of this center was very good, and what directly brought about it was the mobilization of the 34 th Division stationed in Jing'an, Anyi, and Fengxin counties in northern Jiangxi.

Originally, several group armies of the Chinese army in the northern Jiangxi region had no way to take the 34th Division, and could only gnaw around on the edge of the turtle shell, which could not hurt the bones of the Japanese army, but now the opportunity has come.

The first thing to see was the 51st Division, and Division Commander Li Tianxia was very happy to see the men and horses of the Japanese army in three counties, and immediately instructed the 152nd Regiment to follow the third battalion, assist the third battalion, and hold Mantou Mountain in the movement war and in the active offensive defense.

Then, with steamed buns as the center, the main force of the Japanese army was attracted out, and the main forces of the Japanese army were eliminated and consumed one by one in the mountainous and hilly areas of northern Jiangxi.

At the same time, Division Commander Li reported his operational thinking to the military headquarters, and Commander Wang Yaozu also very much agreed, looking for fighter planes everywhere before, but it was not possible, but now it seems that the fighters have to fight by themselves.

Commander Wang asked the General Staff to quickly draw up a battle plan and hand it over to General Luo Zhuoyin, the former enemy headquarters of the Ninth Theater, who also mobilized his troops all night to deal a severe blow to the enemy when Nanjing was dying.

Like the butterfly effect on the battlefield, a small raid behind enemy lines by the third battalion affected a large mobilization of troops in the entire northern Jiangxi region and also led to the acceleration of the war.

Liu Guangyu, the commander of the 152nd Regiment, did not dare to slack off, and immediately pulled the first and second battalions, as well as the regimental headquarters and machine gun company, and hurried over and approached Fengxincheng.

The regiment's machine gun company and the first battalion feinted to attack Fengxin, and a company of the second battalion ambushed in the middle of the road to provide reinforcements, mainly to fight the troops sent by Fengxin to attack Mantou Mountain, probably a squadron.

The other two infantry companies of the second battalion rushed to support Mantou Mountain and attack the rear of the Japanese attacking troops on the periphery.

There are also sieges of Wei to save Zhao, direct rescue, and even siege points are also used, rescue their own people, do not forget to engage in a Japanese army, this is Liu Guangyu's characteristics.

Now that we have the tactical fulcrum of Mantou Mountain, we have a lot of articles to do.

In the second half of the night of December 12, several Japanese troops arrived at the foot of Mantou Mountain one after another, and surrounded the three battalions on Mantou Mountain.

At first, the Japanese army also pretended to use the ancient Chinese art of war and tactics, attacking the heart first, shouting at the Mantou Mountain, saying that if they put down their weapons and go down the mountain, they would ensure safety.

Bullshit, this kind of heart-attacking tactics is only effective against those own people in the civil war, and it is of little use for this kind of life-and-death anti-aggression war with foreign races.

All the officers and men of the three battalions were silent about it, and without the order of the battalion commander Luo Zhicheng, no one could act rashly, and this so-called tactic of attacking the heart was simply a child's play of a three-year-old child in the psychology of the soldiers.

The Japanese shouted a few times, but did not see any response, so they had to stop shouting and began to send infantry, along the skirmish line, and began to slowly press up.

While the stragglers of the Japanese army wanted to attract the fire point of the third battalion to be exposed, the light and heavy machine guns behind were also scouting, and they were shooting up and down Mantou Mountain.

If you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, Luo Zhicheng, the commander of the third battalion, doesn't need to give orders, and the platoon commanders of each company are very clear about the fighting style that the third battalion has formed to fight against Japan.

Seeing that the temptation could not be achieved, the Chinese army on the opposite side was obviously a sophisticated force, which would not take the bait and rush to expose its own firepower.

However, the Japanese army could not grind foreign workers here, and they had to rush to lay down Mantou Mountain in order to relieve their worries and complete the tasks assigned above.

Therefore, the Japanese army began a ferocious direct attack, several skirmishers in echelons, pressed towards the front of Mantou Mountain, at this time, the third battalion no longer hid its own firepower, light and heavy machine guns opened fire together.

The dense bullets formed a barrage, and the devils who rushed to the front were hit to the ground one after another, sweeping the front of the position like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and the devils were also like leeks, and they were cut off by Qi Qi.

Wang Weidong of the heavy machine gun crew, a long burst of intermittent fire, bullets passing through at great speed in the night, with psychedelic tracer, constantly projected into the enemy's formation.

Ma Zhaokai and these excellent shooters, in the chaotic scene, forgot everything, only the front sight and the figure of the Japanese army in their eyes, when the two overlapped slightly, the right index finger quickly and decisively pulled the trigger.

The Japanese army suffered such a heavy blow that they had to lie down immediately and suspend the first round of impact, and the Japanese commanders behind also paid a lot of price to detect the location of the Chinese army's firepower.

Now the Japanese army has also learned the technique of night mortar shooting, although the technique is not as accurate as that of bamboo poles, but after all, it can still have some effect.

Because the Japanese army was a rapid force, they did not bring infantry guns, most of them were light weapons, and the heavy weapons were similar to those of the Chinese army, that is, heavy machine guns and mortars.

Now the mortar immediately began to test fire, and the test firing began to be bombarded around the light and heavy machine gun fire point on the Mantou Mountain of the Third Battalion, and after a few shots, the shells began to fall into the exposed fire position just now.

This night mortar was originally created by the third battalion, and since it was created, they naturally could come up with a way to crack it.

The light and heavy machine guns of the third battalion had already been transferred and evaded in the process of the Japanese mortar's test firing, and the light machine gun group was simple and fast, and the machine guns were operated and left.

The previous heavy machine guns were a little difficult to transfer, but now they are different, the troops have changed to Soviet-style equipment, Soviet-style Makqin water machine guns, with shields and wheels.

The heavy machine gun crews of the 3rd Battalion, when building positions and machine gun nests, had already thought of the route of retreat and transfer, and even installed improvised tracks in the positions.

As soon as he saw the Japanese mortars coming, he immediately pulled the heavy machine guns, followed the designed transfer route, and quickly pulled them away, and when the Japanese mortars were test-fired, they had already slipped away.
