Chapter 80: Frontline Survey (I)

"Silly boy, you know that the submachine gun is cool, do you know what the rifle in your hand is called? Your gun is much more expensive than the submachine gun we have. ”

"Uncle Niu, then you can talk about it."

As soon as Niu Wa heard that the weapon in her hand was better than others, she hurriedly hugged the 98K with a scope in her hand, for fear that others would snatch it.

"Your gun is called Mauser 98K, a very good sniper rifle, the enemy at a distance of 800 meters can basically be knocked down with one shot, don't believe it, tomorrow when you train with live ammunition, you will know if you try it."

"Okay!"

"Niu Wa, then let's change!"

"Hmph...... Don't even think about it. ”

"Didn't you want to exchange it before, why did you change your hexagram immediately...... Ha ha...... Brat. ”

"I'm seventeen, I'm not young!"

"Oh! You're not small, take off your pants, let everyone see that your hair is not growing underneath......"

"Ahh The cow baby screamed and ran away like crazy. There was a happy laugh from behind him, "Haha...... Ha ha. ”

Rommel asked Schell to preside over the training, and he took Limer, Hans, and General Zhang Zhizhong to the defense line by car. Zhang Zhizhong is a high-level commander of the Chinese military, and he also personally commanded the Battle of Songhu, because the battle situation was unfavorable, he was replaced, with General Zhang Zhizhong leading the way, Rommel and they should have no problem wherever they want to go.

The full name of the defense line that Rommel is going to today is the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou defense line, which was designed in 1933 by the city fortress group of the General Staff Headquarters. The main contents are: the infantry battalion position as a unit (the regimental position is used for particularly important sections, and the company position is used for minor sections). A front-line position and a reserve position are set up in the position, and equipment for shooting, observation, communication, transportation, camouflage, bunkers, and obstacles are built, and light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and battle defense artillery fortifications are the main body to form a circular defense system. The building materials are mainly reinforced concrete, and natural obstacles are used as much as possible, supplemented by artificial obstacles, to form permanent fortifications.

However, those corrupt officials in the Republic of China put a large amount of money invested by the state into their private pockets, and the national defense line built was a tofu scum project, otherwise the positions in the first two areas would not have been lost so quickly, and now only the positions in the Nanjing area remain.

The fortifications are divided into three parts:

1. Positions in the Beijing-Shanghai area: The first position is located in Wujiang County to Fushan Town, and the second position is located on the Xicheng line from Wuxi to Jiangyin. An intermediate position is set up on the line from Guishan to Meicun between the two positions. The rear position was brought to the line from Shizhuang to Changzhou.

2. Positions in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area: The first position is located from Zhapu to Jiashan (Zhajia line), and the second position is located from Suzhou to Jiaxing (Sujia line). Flank positions were also constructed on the coastal section between the two positions

3. Positions in Nanjing: The main positions are arranged in the line of Longtan, Qixia Mountain, Qinglong Mountain, Cangbomen, Dashengguan, Shangxinhe, Xiaguan and Yanziji, forming a closed circular position.

What Rommel and the others are going to inspect today is the outlying position in the Nanjing area, which is a temporary field position, because after learning that Germany would send 100,000 tons of arms to Nanjing, the bald head asked the troops and civilian workers to urgently build it, which is about 80 kilometers away from the city of Nanjing and about 40 kilometers away from the defense line in the Nanjing area. These field fortifications were built in a hurry, so after the national army entered the position, they continued to build while holding on, but the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce, and the field fortifications that took a few days to build were often destroyed in half a day, and the national soldiers who stuck to the field fortifications suffered considerable casualties.

At this time, the Japanese army had just captured the Shanghai-Hangzhou defense line. It has not yet hit the defense line against the Nanjing area. The Japanese army only launched an attack outside the outlying positions of Nanjing, but because of the heroic resistance of the Chinese army, the Japanese suffered many casualties, so the Japanese troops were not able to break through the outlying positions of Nanjing. The ammunition supply of the Japanese army was all transported from the Japanese mainland, and the lack of ammunition also made the Japanese offensive a little weak. In order to wait for the 100,000 tons of ammunition of the German army, the people stuck to the area between Nanjing and Suzhou and Hangzhou, about 80 kilometers away from Nanjing, and mobilized more than 100,000 migrant workers to dig a lot of trenches in this generation, and the national army and the Japanese army were engaged in a tug-of-war here.

Because of Japan's superiority in weapons and air, the Nationalist army had more than 500,000 troops in this area, and after more than 10 days of tug-of-war, the Nationalist army lost almost 100,000 people, and with the deserters, the Nationalist army still holding out would not exceed 400,000. This temporary defensive line starts from Zhenjiang City in the east, and then extends to Ma'anshan City with a fan-shaped defensive position, the entire defensive position is about 150 kilometers, and the defensive strength of each kilometer is only 25,000 people, and the strength of each meter is 2.5 people.

Rommel and his entourage first went to the frontal defensive position of Jurong City, when Rommel and his entourage had not yet arrived at the front line, they heard a thick sound of artillery, judging from the density of artillery, the battle on the front line was very fierce, Rommel just wanted to come to the front line to see how little Japan was fighting, what characteristics it had, and then it was time to arrange their own strategy and tactics reasonably.

Soon Li Mo and they encountered the checkpoint of the national army, with Zhang Zhizhong here, everything was unimpeded, and the sentry at the checkpoint immediately called their commander Yu Jishi, Li Mo and the troops they came to happened to be the defensive position of the 74th Army, the elite unit of the national army.

The further the car went, the more potholes there were on the road, and the people in the car were like cradles, but no one complained, this was a front-line survey, not a vacation. When Li Mo and the three of them met Yu Ji on horseback ten kilometers away from the position, this person was a fierce general and very capable of fighting, and they didn't know how Yu Jishi was fighting now.

"Chief Zhang, why are you here?"

"Yu Jishi, why can't I come, come, let me introduce you to three German friends, this is General Rommel, the commander of the Flying Eagle Legion......"

After everyone got to know each other, General Zhang Zhizhong asked Yu Jishi to take a car to the front line, a car just enough to seat four people, and after getting into the car, Zhang Zhizhong began to inquire about the battle situation:

"Zuomin, when I was commanding the Battle of Songhu, your 74th Army fought very well, fought very tenaciously, and suffered heavy casualties.

"Yes, sir, I will briefly talk about the current situation of our 74th Army, after we retreated from the Songhu battlefield, there were more than 5,000 people left in the whole army, or the chairman personally ordered us to replenish 20,000 local militia groups, we just formed the troops here, and before we had time to train, little Japan rushed here, we had to fight with little Japan here, and the countless trenches dug by those migrant workers helped us a lot, we have been here with little Japan for more than ten days, every time we go to the trenches, Every post has been captured countless times.
