Chapter 423: Besieging Zhujie Mountain

Ling Chuanqing and Liu Yongfu gave an order, and an army of 10,000 rushed straight to Chiayi. --

At this time, the Japanese army in the entire Taipei was already in a 'chaos', and in the end, the governor of Taiwan, Kayama Shiki, could not be rescued, and his life was returned to Huangquan. The division commander Yoshio Koyama was killed on the spot, and the current chief of staff, Komoto Lijiang, is still in the process of being rescued, and now the largest Japanese commander is still the commander of two of the three brigades, and the command center of the entire Japanese army in Taiwan is completely paralyzed, and there is now a deputy chief of general staff left in the Taipei General Headquarters, Yuki, who is barely supporting the overall situation.

Chiayi, because it is an important place on the border with Tainan, so a brigade of the Japanese army is stationed here, and there is also a cavalry regiment that is not satisfied with the formation here, adding up to more than 7,000 people, and the brigade commander is a Japanese fierce general Hatoyama Jun.

Tainan Liu Yongfu's army went all the way north and soon reached the Chiayi area.

At this time, Chiayi was also in a panic, the news of the assassination of the high-level of the command had already been transmitted, and the Japanese soldiers below were panicked and at a loss, even Hatoyama Jun was now a little panicked in his heart, seeing that Liu Yongfu's army had already fought over, Hatoyama Jun could only shrink his forces at this moment, and recalled the Japanese troops distributed all over the country to Chiayi, trying to defend Chiayi to the death, against Liu Yongfu and Ling Chuanqing's army.

Ling Chuanqing stared at the Japanese military defense map in Chiayi, and his thick fingers poked at the Zhujie Mountain in Chiayi, and said in a deep voice: "General Liu, here, Zhujie Mountain, is the base of the Japanese army's arms storage, a whole mountain, most of which has been hollowed out, and their munitions are placed in it, and they have no time to take these munitions in a short time, Hatoyama Jun must have deployed heavy troops here to protect them!" ”

Liu Yongfu nodded and said: "General Ling, there is now a main infantry wing of the Japanese army here, and it occupies a favorable position, if we attack strongly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer in a short time, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army will inevitably arrive after a long time, and the two main forces will fight a decisive battle, I am afraid, we have no certainty of victory, after all, the quality of our soldiers is better than that of the Japanese army." ”

Ling Chuanqing said with a smile: "General Liu, I know what you are hesitating about, you are afraid of the Japanese army's trench fortifications on Zhujie Mountain, right?" Don't worry, I have prepared a big gift for them, at most one day, we will attack with absolute superiority, and we will definitely be able to take Zhujie Mountain! When the time comes, they won't be able to rescue! ”

Liu Yongfu now threw himself to the ground with Ling Chuanqing's admiration, and he was simply obedient, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Does General Ling have a good strategy to break the enemy? ”

Ling Chuanqing sneered: "The trench fortifications are just the invention of our instructor who immediately saw that old guy Shangwen stealing the teacher, to deal with the trench fortifications, we have a clever plan, the trajectory of the Krupp heavy artillery is not good, we also have mortars, the ballistic arc of the mortar is large, and it can even be fired at a close vertical angle, no matter how good the trench fortifications are, it is useless, and there are grenades, Lao Tzu transported two thousand boxes of grenades in one breath this time, and the distressed general office of the Fengtian Arsenal almost gave me a desperate job, these grenades, Lao Tzu is special' The gate is prepared for these fortifications, and see if he can resist Lao Tzu's attack! ”

After listening to Ling Chuanqing's words, Liu Yongfu finally fell on the stone in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, General Ling, since you are so sure, then I will 'hand' all the 10,000 troops into your hands, whether the old man can get rid of this evil breath depends on you!" ”

Ling Chuanqing nodded and shouted, "Gather all the generals at the level of the regiment commander and have a meeting!" ”

In a short time, the personnel arrived, and 10,000 horses were attached to two brigades, four regiments, two artillery battalions, two cavalry battalions, and all the senior officers.

Ling Chuanqing shouted: "An hour later, the whole army will set off, attack Zhujie Mountain urgently, concentrate all your strength, give you a day's time, and before noon tomorrow, take the position of the Japanese army in Zhujie Mountain for me!" ”

In this way, the army did not stop for a moment, and rushed to Zhujie Mountain at ten minutes near noon, and then put into the battle, where a regiment of Japanese troops was stationed, only more than 2,000 people, and the two regiments of the Black Flag Army first launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army, and for a time Zhujie Mountain was completely covered by gunsmoke.

The Japanese army relied on the trench fortifications to launch a counterattack, and the artillery fire on both sides was exchanged, and the fighting was extremely 'fierce'.

However, relying on the superiority of troops, with two artillery battalions, the two regiments launched a charge towards the Japanese position in Zhujie Mountain, and saw that it had already hit the mountainside halfway up the mountain, and the heavy machine gun fire of the Japanese army began to exert its might, suppressing the Black Flag Army to the death at a distance of more than 200 meters from the Japanese position, and the Black Flag Army was suppressed back several times when it organized a charge.

Ling Chuanqing on the position sighed, how good it would be if the blue wolf was here, with the ability of the blue wolf, at this moment, break through to the front of the Japanese army's position, and a strong attack, you can break their heavy machine gun fire network, and then the army charged, rushing to the position in one fell swoop, and now the blue wolf has not returned, it seems that there is only one way to attack.

Now that the sky is getting late, Ling Chuanqing shouted coldly: "Order the artillery battalion position to move forward, pay attention to the concealment and launch an artillery bombardment, destroy the trench fortifications for me, don't save ammunition 'medicine', hit hard!" Order the guard battalion, bring enough grenades, sneak up Zhujie Mountain from the left and right flanks, and give me a grenade for them, our total strength is not superior, it is best to reduce four people! ”

Ling Chuanqing ordered the mortar squadron in the artillery battalion to start carrying mortars towards Zhujie Mountain, and stopped at a distance of more than 500 meters from the Japanese army.

A few minutes later, the mortar brigade began to exert its might, and hundreds of mortar shells poured into the Japanese positions in a few minutes, directly into the Japanese trench fortifications, and caught the Japanese troops inside by surprise. The essence of the essence has not been fully mastered, but a report was written by Lijian Shangwen, and some drawings were attached, they were based on the gourd to draw the scoop, the construction of the fortifications, but how to allocate troops, the distribution of troops, the cover of the firepower point, are far from Zhang Yi's arrangement, this shelling, directly the front of the Japanese defense to a big gap, at this time the guard battalion took the opportunity to pounce, has moved to the two wings less than 50 meters away from the Japanese army, hundreds of people in their hands with hundreds of grenades, waved their hands, and threw them all, the Japanese army is still relatively unfamiliar with these two weapons, not prepared at all, was caught off guard, heavy casualties.

Ling Chuanqing saw that it had been sent back, and shouted: "First regiment, press all my staff up, you must take down the position!" The 2nd Regiment immediately prepared to attack, charged! With this gap, less than a thousand meters away, the 2,000 men of the first regiment frantically poured up, and the Japanese firepower at this time could no longer be suppressed, so they had to jump out of the trench in an attempt to beat the Black Flag Army back. Where is it so simple, the strength of a regiment rushed up, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers instantly fell into the crowd of the Black Flag Army, and were beaten to the point that they had no power to fight back!
