Chapter 264: The Fox of the Mountains and Forests
After yesterday's artillery fire on Erlong Mountain, the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army in Pingxiang bombarded Erlongshan indiscriminately, although not even a single hair from Su Peng's department was blown up, Inaba Shiro and Tanaka Shinichi still felt that it was worth it, because they succeeded in recovering nearly 1,000 corpses of the imperial army, strictly speaking, the corpses were pieced together with stumps and broken arms, and more than 2,000 people were stunned and only put together more than 1,000 of them, and their tragic deaths made them these murderous butchers can't help but vomit wildly
They were comforted by the fact that after the field investigation by military experts and battlefield analysis experts, some iron wires, unburned fibers and tens of thousands of thistles were collected, and then based on some of the remaining powder on the corpse, the wounds, the wheel rut marks left by the bucket truck on the mountain, and the size of the fort, they quickly came to a conclusion
Su Peng's attack on the imperial army was not a sophisticated weapon, to put it bluntly, it was just an old-fashioned earthen cannon, nor was it a poison gas bomb, the body of the cannon weighed no more than 30 kilograms, the caliber was amazingly large, there were 300 mm shells, the diameter of the iron wire can be seen to be 200 mm, according to the area of the explosion and the density of the thistle, the shell weighed 10 kilograms, at least five or six kilograms of explosives, the other was the red powder on the carcass of the thistle, it was just chili powder, and the limit of the attack distance was 600 meters
Hearing this conclusion, Shiro Inaba and Shinichi Tanaka were overjoyed, immediately adjusted their deployments, requested that the press and public opinion offensive continue, and at least allowed Jiang Haoran to be busy with distractions, taking into account the request for planes to increase aerial reconnaissance efforts, bombing suspicious areas, and the infantry scattered troops to carry out carpet searches of the mountains and forests on both sides, and the chariots drove forward, covering the suspicious hills within 600 meters with artillery fire first, so as to arrive at Liling in one day
But they were not surprised, and soon the news came from the front, after the troops passed Erlong Mountain, the roads and railways were damaged, and they were also covered with mines, chariots, and heavy artillery, and it was difficult to move forward to search for them, and the troops were extremely unhappy, and Su Peng's troops had all scattered a few people, a dozen people, a group of machine guns, There are even two people in a group who carry the door and cannonball, and they don't even need the artillery, send a squad of imperial troops to chase them, and in an instant, they will merge into dozens or hundreds of people, and a squad will soon be annihilated by them, and send a large group of imperial troops to chase them, as if they had disappeared
They are like a group of foxes in the mountains and forests, not only attacking the vanguard of the imperial army, but even going around to the rear of the imperial army, putting a few grenades and firing a few shots, as soon as the imperial army enters the woods, they will be threatened by treacherous thunder and tripping thunder at any time, if they do not enter the woods, it will not be long before they will turn back, anyway, the imperial army will be busy running for their lives and return in vain
"Baga, Baga" Inaba Shiro jumped like thunder, Wuhan Huangpi suffered Jiang Haoran, taking advantage of the night air raid, so that he not only missed the first glorious artillery to attack Wuhan, but also suffered heavy losses, half a year, this resentment is like a bone in the throat, finally waiting for the opportunity to take revenge, but on the road again and again defeated, so that his pain began to be concrete again
It was a few happy and sad Inaba Shiro roared in pain in Pingxiang, and the former enemy headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Nanshan Independent Army in Liling, 60 kilometers away, was thunderous with joy
Su Peng's Third Division was promptly divided into parts, divided into areas with battalions as units, and then subdivided small units, constantly shuttling through the lofty mountains and mountains, using walkie-talkies to flexibly mobilize troops over short distances, keeping watch over each other, and responding to the enemy's advance, retreating from the enemy, and rushing forward to attack the enemy inch by inch, constantly harassing and killing the enemy, and fixing the enemy near Erlong Mountain
In the evening, a Japanese reconnaissance plane was arrogantly reconnoitring at a low altitude over Liling, and the antiaircraft machine gun that had been erected on the hillside of the front line suddenly broke out, and a round of rapid fire immediately knocked the plane into smoke and fell into a rice field several hundred meters away, blowing up only a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron
"Well, a little victory, let you be happy like this," Jiang Haoran swept his eyes, and the laughter and scolding of the audience immediately stopped
Always keep a clear head, is the magic weapon of Jiang Haoran's victory, a good commander has to be like a good blacksmith, know when to throw the iron into the furnace, when to quench, repeatedly beat, so that you can make good iron and lead the soldiers, you must pour a basin of cold water when you win, don't let the soldiers get carried away, you have to give them the confidence of fire, purgatory, they are buried deep in the bottom of the heart, a basin of water, a fire constantly alternately cast their gods, the beginning of the beginning
"The enemy's reconnaissance planes are flying more and more frequently, yesterday's heavy losses did not stop them today's advance, it can be seen that the Japanese army has gone crazy, Su Peng's department seems to have gained one after another, but after all, there are only more than 10,000 people, and a small fight can't hurt the bones of the Japanese army at all, the only thing I hope is that they can win you two or three days for you to complete the construction of the defense system, and the Japanese army's 116th division has not appeared for a long time, once they do not choose to break through in Liuyang, but lock their eyes on you, the pressure does not need me to say, so now is not the time for you to laugh."
As soon as Jiang Haoran's words came out, the entire command headquarters suddenly fell silent, and a smile receded from everyone's faces, and he climbed up solemnly
"Commander, you said that the 116th Division is hidden and hidden, will the purpose not be in Liling and Liuyang at all," Zhang Dabiao said
"Oh, what do you think," Jiang Haoran was obviously very interested in Zhang Dabiao's words
"Where is our weakness"
"Weakness, in fact, where the 116th Division appears, where it is, is our weakness, and the troops in any direction cannot compete with the devil," Jiang Haoran said
"Fundamental weakness, such as the rear of the base"
"Base" Jiang Haoran looked dazed, but soon returned to normalcy
Historically, in 1940, the "Maginot Line" built by France in 1940 at a cost of five billion francs was rounded by the German army, and the impregnable "Maginot Line" was handed over to the German army as if it were a fictitious and intact, becoming a big laughing stock that caused a sensation in the world
Therefore, Zhang Dabiao mentioned the weakness of the base, Jiang Haoran couldn't help but fight a cold war, but he felt that this possibility was almost none, the rear of the 331 base was Changsha and Xiangtan, and the Japanese army could not bypass it if they wanted to, the only hidden danger was that the fortress on the front line of Hengyang had been suspended, and it was also a large rear with empty troops, if the Japanese army made a detour from Xinyu through Ji'an, Jinggangshan, and Youxian, and then went straight down the Lujiang River, it could be directly interspersed with Lukou Town on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, less than ten kilometers away from the base headquarters, and only two kilometers away from the Dawei Mountain Fortress
But this kind of probability can only exist in fantasy, unless the Japanese 116th Division is an airborne division, there are still two divisions in Ji'an, no matter how bad the soldiers are, it is impossible for tens of thousands of troops from the devil to pass through their defense area silently, and Jiang Haoran is also angry with Xue Yue, in case there is any movement in Ji'an, he must be notified as soon as possible, as long as the devil has this idea, even if these two divisions in Ji'an are about to collapse at the touch of a button, the journey of hundreds of kilometers will take two or three days, Jiang Haoran has time to make corresponding adjustments
